L’Occitane Almond Bust Gel

  • Posted on November 15, 2007 at 6:55 pm

‘Tightening and firming’ is certainly an attractive phrase when considering your bust!! Sadly, this promising product (as most L’Occitane products are) was a disappointment.

None of our testers found a tightening or firming result, even after 4-6 weeks of use. Skin tone was often improved, but that was about it and, to be honest, any body lotion could do that.

The texture was very good though, a cream gel which felt soft and soothing – we wouldn’t dismiss this completely if you need improved skin tone and have sensitive skin, especially if you have found a body cream too rich on the bust area.

Not an unpleasant fragrance, quite neutral in fact, so layering with other lotions and fragrances wasn’t a problem.

Contains almond extract, almond milk and almond oil.

Thalgo Thalgomince Cream

  • Posted on July 15, 2007 at 7:49 pm

Thalgomince Cream is formulated to help reduce excess fatty deposits and restore skin tone and firmness. We tried this out in several places – tummy, thighs, hips and upper arms.

Most improvement was noticed on thighs – thigh size was reduced and skin tone was much, much better. Overall, we’re not convinced this product will reduce size for everyone, though all of us noticed improved skin tone and most of us felt skin was firmer.

Those who saw the greatest improvement were following a healthy diet and/or an exercise plan and those on such a regime felt that Thalgomince is a product they’d continue to use. For the less health-conscious (!) it was felt that this was too pricey to see enough of a result and that other, cheaper, products gave a similar result.
