Pampering myself with Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Set

Alrighty, if you've seen my previous post about Crabtree & Evelyn promotion with HSBC and CitiBank Credit Card, this is my haul from the promotion:

1. DUO set - one Bath & Shower Gel 200ml + one Body lotion 200ml
Original gift set price = RM120.
With HSBC credit card, you pay RM96
With Citibank credit card, you pay RM80!!!

With Citibank credit card, i paid RM80 for the Lavender Duo Set, saved a good amount of RM40!

I chosed Lavender because it is known that Lavender have soothing and calming properties. Afterall, after a tiring long day of work, i would definitely want to come home to a relaxing bath, pamper myself a little before i jump into my bed.

Both the shower gel and the lotion bottle is made from clear plastic. The shower gel fluidity is medium, not too concentrated, not too diluted either. The 1st thing you realise once you unscrew the cap a little, is the aromatic fragrance of the Lavender. The scent is fresh, very calming, not too pungent, just enough to refresh my mind instantly. The lavender scent becomes more apparent as i rub into my skin with a shower sponge, made me felt relaxed and almost sleepy, maybe it's because of the hot steam from the shower head ;p I felt relaxed after the shower, and it left a light sweet scent on my skin. Whether it leaves my skin smooth or not, the effect was not too prominent to notice.

As for the Lavender lotion, the scent is just like the shower gel, subtle and not overpowering. The lotion texture is light, easily applied and manage to hydrate and smooth my skin immediately. I like especially the scent it left on my skin :) However, the calming effect lingers longer in certain people: Quoted from my sister "Don't use this lavender lotion, as the scent is too calming, you'll tend to NOT wake up the next morning!". Well.... that's her peronsal opinion. I think it's just her lazy-gene making her sleepy LoL!

Next, i bought this Lavender Hand Therapy set too:

2. MINI HAND THERAPY SAMPLER set - Hand Therapy 25ml x 3
Original gift set price = RM75
With HSBC credit card, you pay RM60
With Citibank credit card, you pay RM45!!!

I paid RM45 for this Hand Therapy Sampler set, saved me RM30!

Don't need to describe more on the scent as it is the same as the shower gel and the hand & body lotion. Texture wise, it's a little thicker than the Hand & Body Lotion, but Never too oily. The fact i love most about this hand cream is the size - small and easy to be carried around. It fits into my cosmetic bag which i bring everywhere i go. The next best thing is, other than providing moisture to my hand, the Lavender scent actually refreshes me in between work time. It comes in really handy to me :)

My personal Anti-Cellulite Regime - SUCCEEDED

The end of year 2009 is reaching. I bet some of you girls had booked your fabulous holidays through the crazy airasia markdown discounts or the special offers by MAS airline. Beach holiday in Bali maybe? or Phuket? or locally @ Langkawi? Great choice ladies, as once in a while we need to get the sun shining on our skin.

So, what is there to prepare although the beach trip is few months away? What about those unsightly CELLULITES??? GRRrrrrrr. Don't matter if you're stick thin or Very Chubby, girls just tends to get cellulite especially at the thigh and buttocks area. Well i've found my very soloution AGAINST CELLULITES, and it worked for me.

Few essentials are needed:

1. Anti-cellulite Roller/Massager

2. Anti-cellulite Scrub (Exfoliation)

3. Anti-cellulite Gel/cream/ointment

4. Some extra tips from BeautyGuruGuru

Step ONE: Activate cutaneous micro-circulation with an Anti-cellulite Roller (Biotherm Celluli Roller @ RM90)

Introduction: The creation of Biotherm Anti-cullulite Roller is inspired by the massage techniques used by Physical therapists. On the roller, there's 4 rollers which mimics the action of professional finger tips, allowing customers to perfome professional home massage on targeted skin. By rolling the tool against your skin, it promotes microcirculations up to 80% and therefore increases drainage and elimates excess water which is the culprit of cellulites.

Application: As part of the Copmlete Bioteherm Anti-Cellulite Programne, before any application of gel/cream, i use this anti-cellulite roller on bare skin using the special technique as shown in the picture above.

__________________________________________

Step TWO: Prepare skin to slimming care using Anti cellulite Scrub

(Biotherm Celluli Laser Scrub 200ml @ RM90)

Next, is preparing skin to accept slimming treatment using and EXFOLIATOR. This Biotherm Celluli Laser Scrub is consist of exfoliating mineral particles combined with micro-crystals in a formula to heats, smoothes and prepares the skin to receive the anti-cellulite treatment.

Application: The texture is thick, real thick, and i was told the thick texture is specially designed to help intensely massage the skin. It is meant to apply on dry skin, massage in a kneading way to targeted cellulite area and further induce micro-circulation. Upon massaging, i slowly feel the heat, mild heat compared to the Montagne Jeunesse Fudge Sauna Masque. After 5 minutes on massaging on each thigh, i hop into the shower to wash off the scrub.

Result: Instantly smoother skin, which is ready to recieve the anti-cellulite treatment.

_________________________________________________

Step THREE: Track Installed Cellulite using Anti-cellulite gel
(Biotherm Celluli Laser Biofibrine Gel) (200ml @ RM160)

Introduction: As this question may be still ringing in your head. What is cellulite? It is actually the term used to described the dimpled or orange-peel appearance on skin which is caused by deposition of fats just below the skin surface. Blame it on female's genetics, we tend to store more fat @ the subcutaneous skin layer compared to men, which increase the likeliness of forming cellulites.

Main ingredient of Biotherm Celluli Laser Biofibrine Gel:

- Biopeptides: Natural rice extracts used to facilitate production of new collagen fibres, helping skin regain a firm appearance.

- Carbo-cysteine: Helps to prevent the cause of dimpled skin by strengthening the elasticity of collagen fibres

- Pure Thermal Plankton - Owns good soothing wualities, making skin benefits from the natural essential trace minerals, mineral salts and proteins.

- Caffiene + Gingko + Cola Nut - Draining & decongesting properties of these three ingredients put fat cells on a "diet"

- Ginseng - Toning strength of the ginseng root activates skin's circulation

Application: A gel-form liquid in orange, easily absorbed through the skin with no eeky smell. I apply this RELIGIOUSLY in the morning before i go to work and at night before i go to bed. Application of gel only to my targetted area which is the thighs and buttocks with an upward strokes. Gave cooling sensation and fast absorption through skin without stickiness.

Proclaimed results: "10 DAYS: smoother skin and reduced look of stubborn cellulite.
30 DAYS: softened collagen fibres. Anchored cellulite is reduced: buttocks: 1cm; hips: 1.2cm; thighs: 1.5cm "

____________________________________________

Step FOUR: Anti-cellulite Tips from BeautyGuruGuru

(a) Exercise!!!
For better results, i paired the anti-cellulite treatments with some essential exercises, best result seen with squats and lunges of legs. My execise tricks are easy, just bring your right leg to the front (lunging movement) while left leg is stretched behind. Hold this lunge for 10 seconds, and switch to the other leg.

(b) Stop wearing those oh-so-tight panties

(c) Drink plenty of water

(d) And those usual Doctor-advices - maintain balanced diet, quit smoking, exercise regularly etc etc etc

____________________________________________

THE RESULT:

After the practising the above four steps religiously after 4 weeks, i see significant reduction of the appearance of dimpled skin on my thighs. I was satisfied with the result, and i my-oh-my, i can't wait to show off my butt in my newly bought bikini after this anti-cellulite treatment.

Words of Advise: You MUST perform all the steps above RELIGIOUSLY, CONTINUOSLY for AT LEAST four weeks to see the improvement. Never give up half way through, and always be patient as cellulites are TOUGH to removed. But with determination, you can do it, just like how i succeeded!

________________________________________________

Step Five: (Additional) After srubbing and rolling and massaging, i fear my skin starts to loose it's firmness, hence i used the Estee Lauder Firming Creme (click here) to prevent my skin from sagging. (200ml @ RM180)

Lastly, if you find all these anti-cellulite products too costly, wait for my next post, sometime later for cheaper alternative which works similarly.
