For women who feel inadequate about your bust size or self-conscious about your flabby tummy, gear yourself up for some good news because Nip + Fab is here to help.
Dubbed the sassy younger sister of premium cult beauty brand Rodial, Nip + Fab provides a more wallet-friendly alternative to the expensive products on the shelves of luxury stores. And don't let their low prices deceive you either.
Originally launched in the UK, Nip + Fab has reportedly become a firm favourite among celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian, among others.
The brand covers a wide variety of skin and body care products targeted at specific treatments, from brightening and anti-ageing to skin smoothing and firming.
Although the entire selection of products will not be available on our shelves yet, Singaporeans can look forward to their Body Fix range which will be available from July 5 at Watson stores island-wide.
Purchases can also be made online at their website www.nipandfab.com.sg. More products are slated to be released at a later date.
Here is a sneak peek of the products we have tested.

TUMMY FIX - S$29.90, 100ml
Product Description:
Tummy fix helps to tighten, tone and smooth the tummy area with "wonder ingredient" AmaraShape, to burn fat and refine body contours.
Other active substances are caffeine and synephrine, to activate the breakdown of lipids in fat cells.
A study has shown that AmaraShape significantly reduced abdominal girth and increased skin smoothness in six weeks.
Diva's Review:
The gel is light and get absorbed easily, leaving your skin feeling smooth and toned almost instantly. A plus point about this gel is that it does not leave a sticky feeling, so you can apply it in the day.
We would recommend this to women who have problems with flabby skin around. The tummy area does feel a little tighter after application, and the skin was so smooth to the touch. As for fat burning - well, we'll check again after six weeks!

BUST FIX - S$29.90, 100ml
Product Description:
Improve the appearance of your cleavage with Bust Fix. This light serum is said to plump, smoothe and firm the skin around the bust and décolletage, while improving firmness - ideal for skin which has lost elasticity.
It contains CellActive-FORM, a plant-based ingredient which supports the natural process of lipid deposition, lending fullness to the bust.
Diva's Review:
We were a little sceptical at first, but this cream is beginning to win us over. After just a few applications, the skin around the bust became smoother and more supple, and we noticed some increased fullness. Pretty much like how most women would feel around "the time of the month", minus the tenderness.
The cream is light and quickly absorbed, so you can apply it in the day for maximum effect without any sticky aftermath. Definitely worth the hassle if it makes your bust fuller.

DRY LEG FIX - S$15.90, 100ml
Product Description:
This intensive balm helps to smooth dry and flaky skin thanks to an innovative moisturising and restructuring ingredient, Aqyaxyl. Aqyaxyl is said to improve the water reserves in the skin, limit water loss and visibly improve the appearance of your skin.
Other ingredients include shea butter to restore moisture and elasticity, and glycerin to soften and hydrate your skin.
Diva's Review:
This has got to be Diva's favourite. When it says "Instant Leg Smoother", it really means instant. The cream gets absorbed by your skin immediately, leaving a slight pearly sheen on your legs which improves its appearance significantly.
It does not leave your skin feeling sticky - almost like you haven't applied anything at all! Skin is much smoother to the touch, feels moisturised, and looks nice and sleek. No wonder Jennifer Aniston has such great legs!

DRY HAND FIX - S$15.90. 75ml
Product Description:
Dry Hand Fix works to brighten skin tone and replenish dry skin for hands that are irresistably soft with a silky smooth look.
The active ingredients are Aquaxyl, which promotes 24 hour hydration, as well as amino acids to effectively brighten and revitalise the skin.
Diva's Review:
This cream feels like the Dry Leg Fix, and makes your hands feel instantly smoother and softer to the touch. There is no sticky feeling as well, unlike some other hand creams that leave grease marks on everything you touch.

MULTI FIX OIL - S$19.90, 100ml
Product Description:
This all-purpose oil helps to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone while also moisturing the skin.
The key ingredients are bio lipids, borage oil, safflower oil and blackcurrant seed oil.
Diva's Review:
This oil is really all-purpose. You can apply it on any parts of your body you wish to "fix". It is still a bit early to tell if it really helps scars and stretch marks, but we can say that the oil is highly moisturising.
Just a word of caution, the oil is on the heavier side, so we recommend using this only at night.
