Zaggora Viva HotPants

 I was lucky enough to win a pair of Zaggora pants on The Sunday Girl blog!

Thrilled about it as I already have a pair of the original Hot Pants and I wear them a lot... so having a change will definitely come in handy.

You can read my original review here... but bottom line, I didn't find them helping me loosing inches but they improved my cellulite dramatically!

I've been, actually, looking at that review and maybe I was a bit pessimistic... I wear them every day so I must feel they are beneficial, after all.

The only thing I would say is to be careful with sizing: I asked for a medium of the Viva because I'm wearing a medium in the original pants, but these are definitely snugger... maybe because they are longer... not sure if other people experienced the same.

I can still wear them but whilst the original are a 'loose' medium, the Viva are a 'slim' medium.

They also gave me a promo code to pass to you, guys - code: ABJONES - it gives you 10% off and I just saw that the originals are, currently, discounted and I think they are perfect to get started.

Maybelline SuperStay 10hr Tint Gloss

I won this on AlbertineB blog, instead.

I'm actually enjoying it very much! The colour is called Lasting Pink but it's more of a pinkish red, in reality. It's light in consistency, very comfortable to wear and it didn't dry my lips. 

I can't say if it  really lasts 10hrs but it did last 6hours on me. I wore it last weekend, from about 8pm and it was still there when I got home around 2am (of course, I'm talking about the stain... the actually gloss lasted 2/3 hours); I had few drinks and some chips so I reckon it performed pretty well.

To be fair, I'm not even bothered about the longevity because the colour is just so stunning!

Have you won any giveaway, recently??! :)

Zaggora Hot Pants Review

I got the Zaggora Hot Pants with a Groupon offer - it was few months ago now, but I think I paid £19 for them.

If you wanna read about all the claims - please, go to their website.

Personally, I didn't experience any increase in helping loosing weight but I admit I haven't been wearing them ALL the time. I wear them during the day, around the house (I work from home so basically a minimum of 5 days per week - 10 hours per day) but I can't wear them when at the gym or at nightime; simply because I get too warm and so uncomfortable. I tried to exercise in them but I had to stop because I was so hot that I felt like fainting.

In my opinion, what all the testimonials on the website are experiencing is water loss (a bit like the foil suits of the eighties) and people that maybe have a lot of weight to loose and they would see a difference even without pants, as soon as they make few changes to their diet.

I did notice an improvement to the appearance of my skin: The skin on my thighs and bottocks is definitely much smoother and softEr and even my fiance' commented on it. :)

Well, in conclusion, I don't really think they are worth all the hype - I got them and I'm wearing them... until one day I'll forget about them and I won't miss them!
