i bought the YSL twin promotion pack. Wondering if there's anyone who wants to share the twin pack with me, as i thought i might take a long time to finish the 2 bottles. The twin pack cost $102 (promotion price). Anyone?

i tink the YSL contours gel is very good, i didn't weigh myself, but i felt my pants were looser, and that's a real comfort to me.
Hi! Beside YSL, I would also like to recommend this firming gel from Basic Beauty(located in Suntec next to CareFour).Can't rem the exact name but it comes in a plastic bottle and the gel is brown in colour. It cost about S$16- S$18 per bottle. For those who are trying to shed off flabby arms and waistline, this gel maybe your solution. Apply the gel and massage around the desired area for 3-5 mins twice a day, in the morning and at night before going to bed. Results is only visible after 3 to 4 weeks time. Please note there will be a burning sensation after applying just like when u applied medical oil but no worries it's norm and will go off after a while.
Hi Gals,
Happened to peek into this page and would like to share what I am using at this moment with all of u.
I had been using 3 types of slimming products from a salon used brand "Darphin" from Paris and it is really effective.
The 3 products are Body Profile (spray type), Body Profile Oil(Pour type) and Profile Gel (Pour type).
The previous I bought the products was about 2 months back when the Body Profile Oil and Profile Gel is on promotion with a body scrub thrown in for $188. Body Profile (spray type) costs $125 for 100ml and $165 for 200ml.
U had to use them daily with the Body Profile (spray) follow by Profile Gel in the morning and Body Profile (spray) follow by Profile Oil in the night.
They are really effective as I shed off about 1cm from my arms, about 1cm from my thighs and 1cm from my butt within 1.5months. However, it also greatly depend on your diet..of course...try to cut down on all oily, fatty, salty stuffs....
I think they are featured in the Her Worlds magazine for Aug 2001 (near the end of the magazine).
If u are interested, u can contact any Darphin authorised beautician or their distributor..not very sure as I got it from my own Darphin beatician.
To clarify, me not staff of Darphin, promoting for Darphin products or receiving any comission from Darphin, just sharing some really good and effective slimming products...

Hello Sunny,
I'm new in this forum, but thank you for the information on Haach. I was thinking of trying.
However, if Haach is bad, I was wondering if anyone has tried Expressions'? They have a similar face-contouring program, and have been in the market a lot longer than Haach. Has anyone tried it? Would appreciate any information.
THank you!

Hi Michell
One of my fren tried Marie France. Quite effective but she said its really quite uncomfortable. And they really try to sell u one program after another.
Suppose to be a cold wrap only. Then they suggest a warm one for can't remember wat prupose. Then said her fats too stubborn need to use some elctrical pulse kind, then latter say need to have another massage and wrap thing to help burn fats faster..
Anyway, total bill came up to over 15K, after all their special discount etc..
I wanted to try too, but after hearing the bill, think I go swimming more.. hehehe

hi gals,
i was with marie france for abt 9 mths before my wedding. it actually works, i dropped abt 2 sizes. spent abt $4K. the price almost blew me away but i was desparate at that time.
they will recommend treatment sessions on top of the cold wrap - those are the ones that will tone up your bosy. the cold wrap is really quite cold esp when the weather is cold too. you get wrapped, then sit in the room for 25 min in the cold wrap. followed by 20 min of treatment (can be before or after the cold wrap) - normally comes with anti-cellulite massage. the idea is that they wrap you up, and because it's cold, your body needs to produce heat internally and so metabolic rate increases & fat is burnt.
there's also a nutritionist that u see every week to analyse what you eat - this i did for abt 2 mths, then didn't see her anymore cos quite repetitive - eat less oil, less fried stuff, no mee pok dry noodles, eat soupy stuff... blah blah...
and.. it's not true that you keep the weight off. when you're off the program, you'll need to maintain it yourself - exercise & eat carefully or you can put on weight. so the sales reps will keep 'recommending' maintenance programs and new 'problem' areas and treatments and make u add more packges - which is probably how some people can end up paying $15K. that's the thing i don't like.
i haven't been there for almost 3-4 mths now, but i still have left over sessions. wonder if i can cancel and get the money back.

hi all,
i had just signed on a package with them as well...as usual they will push for you to take the most ex package @ 8800, but then i insisted on taking the 5300 just to try out 1st
my idea was to lose part of the weight then try to maintain it myself.....
the consultant did not really hardsell any other stuff to me, and even gave me time to myself (along with my auntie who was with me) to make the decision as to whether to sign on or not.
she was quite nice
hi 2 size,
i think u cannot cxl your leftover sessions to get $$ back but can convert to maintenance prog.. that is wht she told me

Hi help_needed
I'm with Marie France. I'm not sure whether it will work for you coz I did lose weight after going to MF.But my sessions are on & off only lor, sometimes too busy to go. But one thing you must remember is that you have to adjust your diet also if you want to lose weight. I have tried losing weight before on my own but always failed. But after going MF, it seems rather easy lor coz maybe the treatments help to loosen the fats.

Hi Cream,
So how much have you spend on them? Do they asked you to purchase their products? What kind of diet you are undergoing? How far have you lost? And how long was that?

Yup help_needed,
I am also a Marie France customer.
Used to go regularly and they have a nuitritionist who monitors what you eat.
I find it quite effective! Most of my colleagues and friends said i lost alot of weight..=)
In fact i lost about 7kg in the peak (now put back some cos i go for pilates and kickboxing sessions). Of course the effect is not immediate, like 1 session see results. You've gotta be determined and watch what you eat.
With the program(i actually only signed up for half their program, cos was too costly as well) and eating sensibly(i kept getting 'scolded' for eating too much oily food,haha) and some light exercise, think it's much more effective at Marie France than other slimming centres.
At least Marie France is confident enough that their slimming treatments work (cos they don't weigh before and after and compare that u lose weight at every session, unlike other slimming centres that do that to 'show' how effective their treatments are). They only weigh you before you start your every treatment.
They're very professional and systematic too.
Hope it helps...=)

hi, so what exactly constitutes the low fat diet that these slimming centres advocate. Maybe can try just the diet without the wrap and see if it works just as well. Anyone care to share?

hi cs,
i go to Jean Yip for slimming and i can lose the inches while still maintaining my normal diet...to lose the weight, u got to go on a low fat low carbo diet which is a nono for me due to medical reasons....
i can get the waistline i missed so much without suffering the hunger pangs. i spent abt 2000+ but its money well spent....

Hi help_needed
I took their package in Feb 2003 & couldn't really remember how much. It's around $5000 I paid for 30 wraps & other treatments. Before I go for their treatments, I have difficulty in losing weight coz not sure what type of food we are allow to eat. The nutritionist will meet u once in a while to check on your food intake. For me, I have lost around 5kg so far.I used to go for aerobics before but no use coz my body gets toned up only.But after MF treatments, alot of ppl said I lost alot of weight but actually it's only 5kg.
Maybe you want to go down to MF for consultation first before signing.
