Spa Recipes - Leg Balm

So this sachet is another one from the set I bought from my 99p store. My fiancé was intrigued by the previous leg serum I used and didn't believe that my legs felt like silk. This time I said I would show him!

I applied this just before bed last night, when squeezing it from the sachet onto my hand, it smelt a bit like the medicine called "Calpol", felt a bit like it too actually, just less runny!! But I like the smell of Calpol so it's good. It's a kind of fruity smell in case you don't know what calpol is...and I suppose cherry like, as per the description of the sachet...


Once on my legs it was easy to smooth in, and was absorbed quite quickly, much quicker than the leg serum, but I think the serum was to exfoliate the skin rather than moisturise initially...making it easier for me to sleep as I didn't feel like I was going to stick to the bedsheets!!

 I'm now on my lunch break at work, and my legs do feel smoother than they did yesterday afternoon, so for a general treat for my legs once a week I would recommend it as it leaves my legs much smoother than a normal moisturiser would.

I'm now keen to use this every fortnight and the same with the leg serum, meaning my legs get a weekly treat!!

Spa Recipes - Thigh Toning Serum

Ok, so I'm not gonna pretend I'm a girl who goes out and buys a product purposely to make my legs look slimmer or anything (as I'm naturally quite slender) but recently from my 99p store I purchased a pack of 6 beauty treatment sachets. Now I know what you thinking - cheap rubbish? That's what I thought, but I'm a sucker for trying new things!

It came with: thigh toning serum, leg balm, frizz hair treatment, moisture hair treatment, thermal hot face mask and purifying face mask. Some of which I have tried already, but back to the review in hand...


I put the serum on my legs last night, it's a bit like a mixture of body scrub and moisturiser. The sachet holds the perfect amount for my legs, probably a bit too much if I'm honest (I am quite small) but there's no harm in really moisturising your legs no is there? It feels a bit weird on your hands at first, but I got used to it. The smell wasn't overpowering, but it was kinda fruity - which I liked.

After applying the serum and rubbing it in completely (which took a good few minutes) my legs felt a bit "sticky", so not something I would recommend before getting dressed to go to school or work. However as I did it just before going to bed it was fine.

When I woke up the next morning my legs felt like silk. Not kidding. Absolutely amazing. By the evening they still felt smooth, it was like I had shaved my legs, but better...imagine how my legs would have felt if I had in fact shaved then applied the serum? That will be my next test!!

So for a product that comes with 5 other sachets for 99p, it's a must buy!! I've already recommended it to a few friends!!
