Why have cotton when you can have silk?
Review of Clarins Eau Dynamisante Satin Finish Body Oil Spray by
carly_pussycat
Advantages: Smell is nice and matches their perfume, not overly oily
Disadvantages: Soft skin effect doesn't last
...I received an expensive looking Clarins body oil in my testing package.
EAU DYNAMISANTE SATIN FINISH BODY OIL
I love body oils, but not just any old one because some are really greasy. I can’t stand Johnson’s horribly greasy Baby oil, my favourite is Palmer’s Cocoa Butter moisturizing oil (chocolate scented!) This oil comes from the Eau Dynamisante range by Clarins, which is their aromatic range based around the matching fragrance. It is a relatively ... ...hands in the bathroom; but Clarins are clever and have made it LOOK like glass when it’s actually plastic. You can see inside the bottle that the oil’s actually quite watery looking.
USING THE OIL
The instructions tell you to apply it to totally dry skin after a bath or shower and massage it until it’s absorbed; so that’s what I did.
Spraying the oil out is easy because the bottle is a simple spray top without being pressurised. This is an advantage ...

Clarifying Body Spray - Let down by Murad
Review of Murad Clarifying Body Spray by
docutech
Advantages: Easy to use, reaches all areas.
Disadvantages: Dreadful delivery, low stock, very expensive, short shelf life
...this product...... but it and Murad especially failed miserably
I have had back acne for some 20 years, generally I just try to ignore it, but inevitably it has supressed my willingness to take the shirt off or in truth get 'too close' to a relationship (though I'm starting to get too old for that now anyway!)
This product has let me down or should I say the company have, by simply not being able to send it on a regular basis . I use it for 4 weeks ... ...me anyway) and its expensive at £26 odd a bottle (which only lasts a week maximum) I've finally seen the light and left Murad alone, they have really let me down on what as I'm sure you all know is a sensitive issue

Softening yet drying
Review of Garnier Pure A by
Hot_icecream
Advantages: Makes skin soft, refreshing, smells nice
Disadvantages: Only a light moisturiser, doesnt prevent spots/blemishes
I started using this moisturizer when my pores seemed to get larger. They were noticeable, even though only close it, this still bothered me. I do get spots, not tonnes, but still enough for me to class myself as spotty. Especially just before my period starts. I was attracted to this product because of the "pore minimising" claims and that it contains salicylic acid and zinc extracts that I know are supposed to be good for spots and blemishes.
... ...headed along to Wilkos to see if they had any and alas! they did, for only £2.99.
I wash my face in the morning with Freederm and Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub and in the evenings just with Freederm. I apply this moisturiser once doing so. It smells lovely, kind of like cucumber and it feels fresh and cool on your face. The consistency is nice, it's not runny, neither is it too thick, it seems just right. All is fine until the products soaks into ...

Fook me - it stinks
Review of Lynx Africa by
ladyboymondaytofriday
Advantages: advantages - advantages - there are no advantages to the deodorant of Lucifer
Disadvantages: far too many to list here
The Lynx effect eh? Yeah, I felt the Lynx effect all right, it made me retch - in a nutshell and to avoid the need to read on, do not under any circumstances buy Lynx Africa - it is simply vile - it doesn't:
Smell nice
Mask body odour
Stop you sweating should temperatures exceed freezing point
I have for some time been avoiding using what was a Christmas present in 2006 because it reminded me of my youth - the days when you had a choice of Sure ... ...you'll be reaching for the soap and trying to wash it off - it gets spicier as your pits get warmer and god forbid - should you sweat it just intensifies the body odour pong after about an hour. Do yourself and favour and avoid the Lynx effect. ...

the sweet smell of success
Review of Coty L'Aimant Creamy Skin Perfume by
icklebet
Advantages: a beautiful affordable fragrance
Disadvantages: not in with the trendy set.
In 1904 François Coty made his feelings about his product know by announcing " give a woman the best product you can, market it in the perfect bottle in its simplicity yet impeccable taste, ask a reasonable price for it and you will witness the birth of a business the size of which the world has never seen"
He continued to direct his empire until his death in 1934 when in the same year he confessed," one thing has eluded me, I never managed to capture ... ...has to be said that Coty L'aimant no longer has the fashion gurus singing its praises and I doubt very much that the younger perfume buyer have ever tried it let alone bought such a fuddy duddy product associated with the oldies. This is a great shame and it would be very sad to lose this wonderful feminine fragrance through its lack of appeal. I have been a devotee of this little black bottle since first discovering it in the late 1960s, trying ...
