Review and Giveaway: Nip and Fab Scrub Fix (Facial Polish)

Congratulations to @RedRoseMummy, you are the lucky winner. Sorry for the delay in announcing!  Please Dm or email me your address details to pass on to the PR.  Thanks, Mich x

I have shared before that I am not very reliable when it comes to a good facial beauty regime.  For some reason I just forget most nights, I am good with taking my make-up off and having a wash but the moisturiser just never seems to make it my way.  Thankfully I am good with things like face masks and exfoliating too, they always feel like a treat, like I am taking some well-earned time just for myself.

Over the last few weeks I have been using the Scrub Fix facial polish from the Nip and Fab range twice a week and I have to say I really like it. A while back one of my friends tried out the Tummy fix product from the same range and she gave that a thumbs up, so I felt positive to try another product from the coveted Nip and Fab range.

At £10.95 for 50ml I think this product represents good value, you need just a small amount to do the job and it really does feel as if it gives your skin a good exfoliation.  Straight after using it my face felt tingly and fresh and then over the days following I did come out in some spots as if it has detoxed my skin and helped to deeply cleanse it.  The facial polish was very easy to use, I applied a small amount with my fingers, gently rubbed it in avoiding my eyes and then splashed it off with lukewarm water.  The smell was very mild but pleasant and I feel sure I will keep on using this product.

What the Press Release says -

Exfoliate, stimulate and give your skin a natural glow with this triple action facial micro-exfoliant. A refreshing, renewing pick-me-up, this delicious scrub contains clever ingredients such as bamboo micro-particles to refine, polish and maintain moisture levels, salicylic acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid - BHA) renowned for its ability to resurface and brighten the complexion and renewing, decongesting plant-based polysaccharides. Used once or twice a week, this beauty boosting treat will work hard to lift away dirt, grime and remove dead skin cells to leave you with skin that’s noticeably clear and radiant.

Review of Nip & Fab Tummy Fix

I see the words Tummy Fix and I think yes please, but the type I am after is sadly not available in a tube!  Given the size of my tummy and my lack of body vanity I decided that it would be better to offer my tube of Nip & Fab Tummy Fix to my friend Fiona to trial and review for me.....  so over to Fiona.

Nip & Fab describe their products as instant beauty fixes made simple, which sounds good.  The Tummy Fix 'Ab' sculpting gel is sold as a product that will help to firm the appearance of the abdominal area and reduce girth.  I had my last baby about 2 years ago and whilst I have lost the baby weight and been exercising I have never yet been able to get my tummy back to pre-baby shape, so I was really pleased that Michelle offered me this product to trial.

I have now been using the Tummy Fix gel twice a day for two weeks and I have to say I am pleased with the results. The slight sagginess that I have suffered with since my pregnancies has visibly lifted and tightened in just this short amount of time.  I might even think about wearing a bikini later on this year if my tummy continues to firm up. I do not think there has been a reduction in girth but as a size 10 this was not my aim anyway, I just wanted a tighter tum again and I have got definite signs of this happening.

There has been much meda-hype about the Nip & Fab Tummy Fix and Boots even sold out last year when it was launched. The 100ml retails for £19.25 and I think that is good value and I will continue to use it as my confidence has been boasted in the tummy area.

Apparently this miraculous difference is caused by a substance called Armashape which will sculpt and promote elasticity, here is what they say about it -

“a highly effective combination of fat burning actives to refine body contours such as waist, thighs, buttocks, and hips. The active substances are caffeine and synephrine. Both ingredients activate the breakdown of lipids in fat cells of the adipose tissue (body fat).“

Also included is bitter orange to smooth and firm and Lecithin to soften and hydrate.  It is pretty impressive stuff!  The Nip & Fab range also includes some other products I might just have to check out now, such as Leg Fix and Bust Fix Plumping Treatment, now doesn't that sounds irresistible?

This is a review and that means Michelle was sent the Nip & Fab Tummy Fix gel free of charge for the purpose of writing this review post.  No-one instructed us what to write and this is an honest opinion.
