i have been using their bust firming oil.

They have 2 oils for bust, bust volume and bust firming. I chose firming coz i just dont want them to ever be saggy ( i am blessed with D's)

i have been using bust firming oil for months. in fact i went to their spa and had 2 bust firming treatments, when they had a buy 1 get 1 free ages ago.

the treatment includes dead sea salt scrub for the bust, then a bust mask, followed by 20 mins of massage.

i IMMEDIATELY notice the difference !! my breasts are soft, radiant, and bouncier !! i bought the oil for massages every night. i think it did its job ! hehehe, i hope to keep them bouncy forever ( i wish Wink

)

another of their best selling products is their body sculptor.

i didnt do the treatment there. but bought the oil for massage at home.

my tummy is noticably flatter ONLY after 4 nights of massages ( about 5 - 10 mins every night) ! it's amazing !!!

I am told their eye extract is excellent in reducing fine lines, but i havent tried yet.

it's a Spanish brand. My aunt (who has been to ALL 5 star hotels all over the world, coz of work) says she does see some TOP hotel spas use this brand.

it is high quality and 100% natural (the website says Wink

)

The packaging is very elegant. Too bad the web-site is all in Spanish.

If you scroll all the way down on the website, you will find an english option. click on it and the page in english will appear.

their products "White Knight" is good for skin whitening. Great result after one treatment in their spa

I intended to email them to get more information about their products at the advice of one of our members, but I simply couldn't hold off any longer and purchased a few products two days ago.

I'm so in love with the scent of their Cleopatra line. It's quite different from what I usually like as it's much more "womanly". Nonetheless I LOVE it and it's actually "love at first sniff" Laughing

I got the Cleopatra EO ao that I can add a few drops to my unscented body lotions and to any base oils as I like.

I also bought their Feminine Sensuality Oil (not on their website) which is supposed to help improve sleep quality and emotion, and balance hormones (thus good for PMS). I can't say whether it works for the hormones in this early stage, but I did sleep very well these two nights (and I have always had sleeping problems). I felt a bit drowsy after I applied the oil and fell asleep in no time at all. I hope it will keep working for me!! Very Happy

Two other products I got are the Body Sculptor and the Bust Volume Oil. I'm interested in their face products as well but am concerned that they may not fit into my current regimen. So I started with body products to see whether I like this brand. So far I'm happy with all the products I have. Razz

Pigpig, I think you're talking about "White Light". It's good for lymph drainage as well. Smile

i am SO happy that u guys like the brand as well !!!

i cant agree more, sniffing the cleopatra beauty water ( which is a toilettre) lifts me up instantly !! hehehe

Thank you for recommending this product range. My wallet will not thank you though as they seem to have a spa in York and the online products sound yummy. I have been getting into a spa habit once a year (a guilty secret as I always go alone when my girlfriends go in bunches: stress!) but usually the products are not that good in spas. I will definitely check this out.

I love their feet oil ( it makes wonders with my feet ) and all of my friends swear by Body Sculptor Smile

There are good sellers in Ebay Cool

Where can you purchase (online or in US)? I only see a couple of listings on eBay.

I have seen lots of suppliers when I did a basic google search. Maybe try an advanced search? Increasingly ebay seems to be paying search engines for top billing on searches. Hope you have luck.

In the UK I saw online stores on the natural store.co.uk and http://www.alquimiaspa.com/products.html

Will be trying a few of these and report back.

I highly recommend their Body Sculptor. I apply it on my tummy and massage a bit and I can see immediate improvement. Tummy is noticably flatter and it helps bowel movement too. It can be used to slim down your waist line, arms and legs. Razz

Ladies, please pay attention when you purchase off Ebay. I originally planned to buy the Bust Oil from a seller but retreated as I'm suspicious because the product is unboxed, that means the seller can actually open it and water it down. I'd rather pay thrice the price to get the real thing from a legitimate source. Wink

Sorry it's me again. Embarassed

I just want to mention that the Feminine Sensuality Oil really seems to alleviate menstrual problems. I started using it on Sunday and my period came today without any pain/discomfort! Very Happy

This is really rare for me.

girls who want to try the body sculptor should seriously consider their queen of hungary water as well.

the water is, well, toner that improves absorption of whatever oil u apply afterward.

I dont know about the truth of that, but the queen of hungary water TRULY SMELLS DEVINE !! i once applied it before the bust firming oil before bed, and in the next morning, i can still smell it on my sleepshirt!

it TRULY smells lovely Wink

(i swear)

oh, and if u dare ask, some spas might actually be willing to sell u salon sizes of those oils ( and other products). Those are really great deals

enjoys freebies · Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:00 am Quote

ooohhhh thanks girls! My list is growing longer. I esp. like anything that helps PMS etc and body toning. I will definitely be trying this out.

P.S I do not purchase anything personal off ebay and having seen some documentaries about the number of things that are fake on there, I never will. They were selling fake body lotions out of some house in Devon, UK and bags and Tiffany jewelry (blue box and ribbon too!). The sweetest elderly lady opened the door and said she was not hurting anyone and didn't everyone know that they could not get a REAL Prada bag for £100? It was hilarious.

dd7, do you know how long a bottle of the Queen of Hungary last? It seems quite expensive as a skin prep. Confused

I'm planning my next purchase very very soon (maybe this weekend?) Oh gosh I already spent over US$300 last weekend but I simply can't stop myself wanting more!

I buy from a seller called SANDRIAL, he's Spanish and the products are authentic.

I'm not sure you can buy them online: they usually deliver their products through beauty parlors and similar places.
