Birdie's Formal Review of Avon Cellu-Sculpt
Cellu-Sculpt Anti-Cellulite Slimming Treatment comes in a sleek, gray 6.7 ounce tube with a purple cap. Right now, in Campaign 10, Avon is running a special. You can try Cellu-Sculpt for two weeks, and then, and only then, you pay your representative if you are pleased with the product. If not, you hand over what you didn't use and pay absolutely nothing.
Avon reps hate these deals. It's difficult to track down a customer and make them pay two weeks after the fact. Sometimes customers move, or they lie and claim they already paid you, or they keep the lights down and close the drapes so you can't pin them to the wall and demand retribution. I heard a lot of these horror stories at the last sales meeting. I'm terrified now when someone orders a tube. "Are you sure?" I ask, hoping they'll change their mind. I'll be glad when Campaign 10 is laid to rest.
Avon claims that Cellu-Sculpt uses a multipronged approach to fight cellulite. With regular use, the literature states, it firms and tightens to visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite, and over time, fights the appearance of new cellulite. The brochure isn't shy: It's Proven! 1 inch thinner thighs in 4 weeks! Women who tried Cellu-Sculpt love it!
If you read the fine print, you find that results like these are not typical, and that it takes a good eight weeks to see improvement where it counts the most.
I've been slathering this stuff on for four weeks, and following the tube directions exactly as written. You should exfoliate first, and so I've been scrubbing down from neck to toe with the Avon Buff it Up Body Polish in the shower. After toweling, I squeeze out a healthy portion of the Cellu-Sculpt and begin massaging into every square inch of my body. Even though the advertising focuses on the thighs and butt, the tube says to apply to entire body to firm, smooth, and tone. I've been adding a second helping to my thighs, butt, and under arm jiggles.
In order to see best results, you're supposed to apply Cellu-Sculpt in the morning and in the evening. I've done both on most days.
Cellu-Sculpt smells slightly sweet, like a faint perfume. Apparently this product was introduced last year to great acclaim but women wouldn't purchase it more than once because it smelled terrible. I heard comparisons to landfills and paper mills. The formula changed and the New Improved Cellu-Sculpt is certain not to disappoint in the olfactory area. The smell didn't bother me, and it didn't thrill me, either.
I measured my thighs before the month began. I'm not going to divulge the sorry details. Let's just say they weren't ideal. Now, one month to the day later, I have lost 1.25 inches off of one thigh and 1 inch off of the other. My right thigh is the greater beneficiary. My entire body is smoother and softer than it has ever been. I love the way my skin feels on this product. Oooo la la!
I have to say that my exercise regimen has improved greatly this month due to endless jaunts around town towing my sample bag and piles of brochures. I can't be sure if the resulting thigh loss is due to the Cellu-Sculpt or the soliciting.
Either way, it's Avon...
