Philips ReAura (Part 2)

Posted by dulwichmum on Mon 5 March 2012

Name of product: My Philips ReAura Review (Part 2) HERE

Price: £799.00

Pros: This is my second review for this appliance, after 6 weeks of use. I had to take a break for over a week as I had a cold sore and the Philips ReAura is contraindicated if you have an open wound or cut

The PR material claims that the Philips ReAura: “Reduces fine lines — 81%”

I can genuinely agree that this appliance helps to plump the skin up and that should reduce the presence of fine lines. I don’t actually suffer from many fine lines, but I still have the fine lines I had at the beginning of this process, so I am afraid that I can’t really agree that my fine lines were reduced

“Evens skin tone — 83%”

This promise is supposed to relate to a reduction in the size and depth of sun spots. I have been thinking about this long and hard and again, actually I can’t really agree with this whole heartedly. You will see from the photo, my sun spots are still evident. My skin appears to be much improved with regard to tone, my colour is greatly improved and I think this is actually because the circulation has improved – I appear to be far better profused! My skin is glowing with health

“Smoothes skin texture — 86%”

This I can certainly agree with. My skin is genuinely smoother, much smoother. After 6 weeks of use, I feel that my pores have reduced in size and my skin is far younger looking – it is blooming. My skin has an incredibly fresh white aura now, I can go without make-up and not look at all pale or washed out. My skin is glowing and healthy.

Cons: There are no cons at all with this machine now. It is effortless to use, not actually that uncomfortable anymore. It doesn’t take too long to use, it is easy to integrate into my skincare regime. It is far more effective than the monthly facials I have been having for an age and it is saving me time as I am not having to head off to the beauty parlour!

Value for money: If, like me, you have regular facials, this machine will save you a fortune over time and deliver far better results. I am loving it and looking forward to the next couple of weeks

All of the reviews I read say that the most dramatic results are evident from week 6!

 The Body Shop – Born Lippy™ Satsuma Shimmer, Passion berry and Pomegranate Lip Balm

Posted by dulwichmum on Sat 4 February 2012

Name of product: The Body Shop – Born Lippy™ Satsuma Shimmer, Passion berry and Pomegranate Lip Balm

Price: £2 each

The blurb: Let your lips ‘pop’ with colour! The Born Lippy™ range bursts back onto the scene this year to moisturize lips and give a splash of colour and flavor. Flaunting six new balm sticks and a playful redesign of the popular Born Lippy™ products are cheeky, daring, and bold. Stick or pot, the choice is yours. Make a statement with your selection and let your personality shine through

First impressions: These lip balms are so pretty and colourful, clearly aimed at younger customers. The products I received came in a little purple pouch, which helps to keep the pots and stick together in my bag. The stick is very creamy and soft and the two pots are slightly thicker. These balms make lips very glossy and really soft. The Satsuma Shimmer additionally provides a shimmery finish

Ease of Use: Using the stick is as simple as any lipstick but the pots require practice. As the balms are also colours, it is best to apply with a lip brush for accuracy, but there is none included with the pots

Pros: They smell yummy – like fruit or bubble gum. The balms protect lips from the harsh winter weather and they help keep lips looking glossy and healthy

Cons: The stick is great but it can get a little bit lumpy after a while. With regard to the pots – if like me, you don’t like to apply products with your fingers, they might not be for you. That said, these smell fantastic and make lips glossy and super soft

Value for money: Cheap as chips. Good quality product, effective and pleasant to use

Dulwichmum verdict:

Stockists: At branches of the body shop and online
