I switched out my regular Peach scented Dove body wash to give this one a try. I compared the ingredients on the two and the main difference is that the Moisture Body Wash has a bunch of oils added to it.
I didn't find that it did much in the way of moisturizing. I still needed to apply body lotion when I got out of the shower. It did lather nicely. Not keen on the smell, I'll stick with the fruity ones.
Overall, this is good as a body wash, but don't expect too much moisturizing.

This workout kicks my butt everytime.
Jillian Michaels, the "mean" trainer from The Biggest Loser, takes you through 3 different 20 minute workouts. There's three levels and you really do need to get comfortable with level one before moving onto level 2 (made that mistake once).
Each workout combines cardio with strength training, so you'll need some handweights. There's some ab work in there as well. Not as much of a cool down/stretching as I would like, but I just do my own after the workout's done.
Even though these are only 20 minute workouts, they're hard! Lunges, jumping jacks, squats. I feel this more than spending an hour at the gym.

Quite pleased with this product. The pad is very thin and a little bit longer than most so I felt like I had full coverage. It stayed in place and didn't do the usual pad bunching. I also like that the wings are longer than on other pads, so they don't shift around. I'd buy these again. -
Maybelline New York Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara
I was very skeptical about this mascara. Really, does my mascara wand need to vibrate to be effective? I've tried vibrating razors before and wasn't impressed. The product itself is a bit finicky to use. The button to start it up is at the... +
I was very skeptical about this mascara. Really, does my mascara wand need to vibrate to be effective? I've tried vibrating razors before and wasn't impressed.
The product itself is a bit finicky to use. The button to start it up is at the end of the wand which is an ackward place to hold it. And you need to hold the button down while applying the mascara.
I've been using this mascara for about a week and it does make my eyelashes look great. No real clumping, very long. Goes on very smooth. I have noticed that it flakes off a bit by the end of the day, but that's after working 8 hours than being at the gym for an hour.
I'm not sure if it's the mascara formula, or the vibrating wand but this is definlently a decent mascara. I probably wouldn't pay the extra price (close to $20) for it though.

Breyers Creamery Style Dark Chocolate Velvet Frozen Dessert

This one's fabulous. It's very chocolately. I don't particularly like dark chocolate, but this ice cream is great. Very creamy. The chocolate flavour is more intense than most ice creams. I think the price is a bit high though (it was $8 at my local Loblaws) so I'm not sure if I would purchase it - maybe if it's on sale. -
Breyers Double Churn Banana Cream Pie Frozen Dessert
Hmmm.... this is very yummy. Rich and creamy. The banana flavour is really good, not a fake banana flavour - tastes like the real thing. I really like the chunks of pie crust in it too.

I'm always excited for anything with the words "cheesecake" in the name. This was a bit disappointing though.
It's very creamy which is good, but the cheesecake bit is the white ice cream. Any cheescake flavouring there is completly overpowered by the chocolate. The chocolate flavour is good, but not worth the $8 . There's other chocolates available for a lower price. Wasn't anything fabulous.
What would make this flavour better - little chunks of actual cheesecake (the kind you find in most ice creams with the word "cheesecake" in the flavour name).

Secret Flawless Touch

I bought this on sale a couple of weeks ago and I'm really not liking it. The texture's great, goes on really smooth. I like the scent (I have Satiny Tropical).
What I don't like:
- I'm getting white marks all over my clothes (package says it's invisible).
- By the end of the work day, I feel sweaty and smelly. I sit at a desk, typing most of the day so it's not like I'm working up a sweat. One day when I had a sleeveless shirt on, I felt the need to run out to buy more deodorant cause I was afraid to raise my arms up.
Definlently won't buy again.

Hmmm... yummy.
I'm loving the milk chocolate. The mousse centre is really nice and creamy but you also get the hard coating too. The flavour is rich enough that I can satisfy with my chocolate cravings with 1 (maybe 2) pieces.
This is a step up from a regular chocolate bar. Bit of an indulgence. There's only 10 pieces in a pack so I think that the price is a bit high, but nice as a special treat.

Yes Yes Yes! To Safe Sex Tantalizing Lip Butter
I picked this up the other week and I really like it. The texture is really nice, very smooth, absorbs quickly. The taste is great too. Even my husband who hates lip balms of all sorts thinks that it smells and tastes great.
