Advantages: Few

Disadvantages: No lifting, sculpting or contouring

After having 2 kids my confidence took a bit of a battering, especially where my post baby body was concerned, feeling very low about it I decided to test out some lotions and potions to see if they could restore any of my former glory.

Avon Bust Contouring Cream-
Avons Firm & Sculpt Bust Contouring Cream is designed to refine and sculpt the bust line, giving you a lift and making you feel firmer. It claims to have an effect within 4 weeks.

The cream claims to have "a blend of ingredients that forms an invisible network for additional support to the bust area."

The product actually comes in a lilac 150ml tub with an unscrew lid, not the tube style shown in the picture above, although I'm sure it did once come in the tube. It is a white coloured cream with a citrussy scent and is of a slightly runny consistency, it almost reminds me of uncooked eggs but white and a little less stringy.

How to-
Avon recommend that the product is used twice daily and is applied to the bust in an upwards motion.


My experience-
Well i've already mentioned that I doubted the product and my suspicions were proven to be correct. I used the product as instructed, twice a day, but have seen no change to my bust at all, it certainly doesn't feel any more "sculpted" or "firm" than it was before, it doesn't even improve the skin tone like many of the Solutions range do. There is some moisturising effect but the cream is of such an unpleasant texture and takes so long to absorb that any small positive effect seems lost. The cream doesn't leave much of a greasy feeling to the hands but is very slow to absorb and can be felt on the skin hours after application.

The smell of this cream reminds me of lemon air freshener or those car air fresheners that claim to be "citrus fresh" it is not a very pleasant smell although does fade relatively quickly, still it's not a smell you want on your body.

The 150ml tub claims to have a shelf life of 12 months however mine only lasted about 4. You see how long it last's will depend on the actual size of your bust, a smaller lady will use less of the product than a larger lady. Now i'm not a big girl but have been generously gifted in the bust department, i'm a 30GG so if you're similar in size or larger you're not going to get a lot of life or effect from the product.

As with all these creams they say for best results you should continue to use this cream, I however believe i'd need about 10 years worth of application before I even saw the smallest change, going by the rate of any effects i've seen.

Price & availability-
The cream is only available from Avon so you can either order it from your local sales rep' or from the online store Avonshop.co.uk. Sometimes Avon products do pop up online on such sites as Ebay so it's always worth shopping around.

The product is usually £8 per tub but is frequently on offer and is currently online for £5. Quite pricey in my opinion when you consider it requires continued usage.


Overall-
The product makes some fantastic claims-softer skin after 1 application, after 2 weeks bust feels firmer after 4 it looks firmer........... but i've not had such results. It's not a product I would recommend, certainly not at a full price of £8, of course this is based on my experience, I really cant see how a similar sized lady(or larger) will have any effect from the cream however there may be some effect for smaller chested ladies. It is not a cream I would buy again.

Summary: Must be designed for smaller ladies.
