Clarins High Definition Body Lift
Leaves an instant feeling of lightness and well-being on application. This patented formula with 8 plant extracts help to streamline hips and thighs and reduces the appearance of cellulite, ensuring smoother, more toned skin with 'high definition' results.
Not sure about the instant feeling of well-being part but this product from Clarins is pretty darn good. For those of you cynical or unconvinced by cellulite products, then we say try this. A grainy consistency that tingles on application - sure that's a sign it's working - it quickly soaks in. Skin noticeably smoother on first use. And together with regular excerise and massage as instructed by packet, we found this worked. Silhouette more defined and cellulite reduced. Hurrah!

Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Moisture Melt
Intoxicate the senses with an exotic blend of Coconut Coprah Oil and sweet scented Frangipani flowers. This exquisite treatment oil has long-lasting hydration properties to seal in moisture and leave skin silky soft. Can be used as an intensive conditioning treatment for hair and nails.
Love this product. Its scent is strong and vaguely floral, but not over-powering and doesn't stay on skin so doesn't interfere with perfume. The consistency is really oily so not suited to all skin types. It soaks into skin relatively quickly, though not as fast as less luxurious body lotions. Skin felt hydrated day long.
