I love A Crash Course in Skin Care. This is a fresh face mask that has a super smooth application and perfect consistency (not chunky or runny). It is cool to the touch (which is a total "Ahhh!" sensation) since the mask must be stored in the fridge. My face feels soft, moisturized and revitalized after one application. One jar I can use generously for about 6-8 times. This product brightens my face significantly and I get this porcelain skin glow after-using A Crash Course. The fresh face mask leaves a lemony yogurt scent (mmmm, yummy!) behind. This fresh face mask is a real treat for my mind and skin. -

Aqua Marina Facial Cleanser is not my favourite LUSH product because it has a strong medicinal scent and it does not provide any exfoliationt. However, I do give it credit for being an ultra creamy cleanser. Aqua Marina does leaves skin feeling clean and smooth. The product sorta helped my acne troubled skin by balancing out the natural oils and calms redness. -

I adore this gentle and creamy cleanser because it doesn't strip my skin of its natural oils and the grounded almonds serves as a light exfoliant. I use this everyday and twice a day. Angels on Bare Skin (AOBS) leaves my skin feeling moisturized and soft. I've used the product for two weeks and I noticed that AOBS improved my skin texture and complexion; it reduces blotches on skin. I love the light and pleasant natural lavender scent; it's very calming. I dislike that it takes a fair bit of time and skill to make the right paste-like consistency of the product to apply to my face. I also dislike how messy AOBS can get...in that it there are lavender seeds are left behind around and in the sink. -

Thank you ChickAdvisor for sending me the Febreze Car Vent Clip Freshener in Linen & Sky. I love the sleek and compact packaging of the air freshener. It clips on easily to the vent of my Honda Civic and stays put in one place. I was quite fearful that the scent would be heavy, artificial and overwhelming. Thankful it turns out I was wrong. The scent is welcoming, clean, fresh and subtle. My friends and family members always comment how pleasant it is to get into my car. I love the vent clip and can’t imagine my car without it. Thanks ChickAdvisor and Febreze for this awesome tool. -

Wow! I am completely blow away by Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum. I went to the Bay and received a free skin consult. I came in with dry, tight, and flaky skin due to Calgary's dry weather. I was recommend to try this product out because the serum would balance my skin out. After two days (both day and night) of using the scentless and "watery"serum I've noticed a significant difference in my skin. It's brighter, smooth, and neutralized my acne scars and redness. The serum did not cause me to break out and it did not irritate my skin. In my honest opinion, this is a pricey serum but totally worth it and I can't live without this serum. -

Best lotion I have ever used; it's packed with every calming chamomile - great for troubled skin and stressed mind. One tub lasts me for a year; a little bit of the lotion goes a long way! I use it daily on my hands and elbows, and the cream absorbs into the skin almost immediately thus leaving no greasy feeling. The lotion smells herbal/floral but not an overpowering or strong scent. I have bought a tub of this cream every year for the past three years. I urge people to try this product out; you won't go back to lotions and creams on supermarket shelves. -

Complexion Perfection is a translucent lightweight powder that is easy to apply, and it is matifying and it absorbs excess oils. Sometimes I like to wear the product alone, and other times I use it over my foundation.
Some people have complained that CP "washes" them out or that it looks like they are wearing a white mask... Luckily I don't share those kinds of experience. I find that the versatile product has a natural feel and look on my skin. CP evens out some of my skin's imperfections (i.e. redness from my acne scars), neutralises other facial discolouration (like dark circles under my eyes), and brightens my face. However, this product is not a miracle in a compact!
I think this product will work well for people with normal to oily skin. People with dry skin may experience flakiness with this product; be sure to moisturize well before use. I recommend CP because it doesn't clog pores, and it gentle on the skin.

The texture is like any regular moisturizing lotion. The product is greasy - the product does not appear to sink into my legs - it is not an effective moisturizer for my dry legs. For me the color is not noticiable until the second application then I can see a subtle light tan. The color is definitely buildable, but be warned that an over application of the product may cause an orangey tan. Trust me I learnt the hard way. I personally would not repurchase the product, because the smell of the product is a major turn off for me. -

I really like the compact the product comes in; it's a sleek and elegant black case. In my experience, both the blush and bronzer are easy to apply because they are finely milled. Also the blush and bronzer has a natural color with a hint of shimmer. FYI, the blush appears to be more shimmery than the bronzer. They are lightweight, easy to build up color (if necessary), and blend well into the skin. Personally the products are highly pigmented and long-lasting (i.e. they don't fade or wear off for at least 8 hours). I think they are suitable for all skin types.
I lightly brush on the bronzing power in the hollows of my cheeks (i.e. under cheekbones), and jaw line in order to create for definition. Or I use the blush on the apple of my cheeks and a quick dusting on my forehead to create a warm healthy glow. I highly recommend the Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder. I am planning to repurchase this product.

Thanks ChickAdvisor for sending me six bottles of Aquafina Plus Vitamins 10 Cal Water to try. I received three flavours: Black & Blue Berry, Strawberry Lemonade, and Fuji Apple Pear. This drink is beneficial to those who have forgotten to take their daily multivitamin and those who want a guilt-free flavoured drink. This drink does not contain a variety of vitamins for a healthy diet so taking a multivitamin is necessary! A bottle (591mL) contains some of our Daily Recommended Intake (DRI) of Vitamin Bs but satisfies most of our necessary intake of Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The mere 10 calories can easily burnt off.
The first one I tried was Black & Blue berry; the first sip filled my mouth with a wonderful, ice cold, sweet berry taste. However the pleasure was short lived because the drink is sweetened with Stevia quickly left an unpleasant, tingly, and bitter aftertaste. Thank goodness Aquafina used concentrated fruit juices to sweeten the drink as well, I can’t image how awful the drink would be if the product was sweetened with Stevia alone.
To my disappointment, the tanginess and citrus flavours were completely absent in the Strawberry Lemonade drink. It tasted more like a refreshing smooth Starbucks’ Creamy Strawberry frappuccino, but without the full-bodied flavours. The Fuji Apple Pear had the best flavour out of all 3. This flavour was tasty and has an amazing exotic tropical taste. I would not purchase or recommend the Black & Blue berry and Strawberry Lemonade flavours to anyone. I would recommend the Fuji Apple Pear flavour for those who are intrigued in trying a low calorie vitamin water.
