Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly

I can totally see why this is VS most popular perfume. I was in love with it for so many years, even when I was a teenager. My mom used to buy in any shape and form ( mist, et,edt) when she went to the states because she knew I would always use it up. I still really like it, but use it less b/c I have so many other fragrances. The only semi-bad thing I have to say about this is that it doesn't have the staying power of other fragrances. It is not too sweet or floral, a little musky, and as another person mentioned a kind of warm woman scent.
I will definitely keep using this, although not as my main fragrance. I even got the Heavenly kiss, which I LOVED!

I bought this lotion because I was looking for something new/different and because it was on sale and I was surprised how good it is. I'm not a big Olay fan, so I really expected to be so so about it, but I like it.
It is very light. and won't leave your skin greasy, great for hot summer days. I found it to be quite moisturizing (it is not a body butter, but it still pretty good). Another Pro is that is absorbs pretty quickly, you don't have to wait for it to dry. It is also easy and quick to apply.
I don't have any cons, it is a nice alternative to a body butter or standard lotion - I like the mousse action and feel. I even bought a can for my friend because she was looking for a light lotion.
I did not see any shimmer in it at all.
Also if you want the moisture of a body butter this is not it, this is lighter.

LUSH Cupcake Face Mask
This is a small pot, but you get about 3-4 uses, more if you apply less. Overall I found it ok, but not the best. Here is my pro/con list Pro: - smells great - chocolate with orange and mint, very nice,you want to eat it not use it as a face mask -... +
This is a small pot, but you get about 3-4 uses, more if you apply less.
Overall I found it ok, but not the best. Here is my pro/con list
Pro:
- smells great - chocolate with orange and mint, very nice,you want to eat it not use it as a face mask
- my skin felt pretty nice afterwards in terms of softness
- has fresh ingredients and less preservatives (hence you have to refrigerate it and it expries in about 3 weeks since it is made)
- I love the little black pots it comes in and that you can collect them and return them for a full mask
Con
- you have to refrigerate it, so you kind of have to plan your LUSH shopping trip, because once you buy it it has to go in the fridge within 4 hours or so...so you couldn't buy it in the morning and have a whole day of school/work with no fridge around
- didn't do much for my skin, except made it a little softer, which any mask will do, I did not see any improvement in pores or skin tone
- applying and taking it off can be a demanding task - it is very thick and can be very hard and time consuming to get off once it dries a little, also messy too
- did nothing for the few pimples I had. I have very mild acne, a pimple here and there, nothing major, but after using the mask for 3 weeks, I did not notice a change at all.
Overall I did not hate this mask, but I don't think i would buy it again. I would try other LUSH masks though, because I love masks and LUSH.

I had a love/hate relationship with Extreme
loved:
2 of my trainers
the new equipment and space
the ease of getting to the Richmond location
the friendliness of some staff
hated hated hated:
some of my trainers - young, inexperienced, rude, not professional
crappy customer service policy (they will be pushy, hit on you, make you feel bad, pressure you, you name it for a sale)
the price of membership and the training session is quite high
once you are signing a contract, you are screwed
So be careful when you are going to sign up with them

I want to start by saying that powder foundation is not for everyone. I had bought a starter kit and I absolutely loved it, when it ran out I went and bought another concealer and foundation full size. I also bought a skin enhancers kit which I really liked well.
What do I like about it : 1) looks natural 2) cover small spots and acne 3) glides on easily and 4) easier to apply that liquid or cream (on my face at least).
What I don't like about it: the size of the containers in the starter kits make it hard to apply because they are so small.
Saying all that, I tried to use the Well Rested concealer on my mom's face and it didn't go on as nicely as on my face. I don't know why, but on my mom it looked too powdery.
I think everyone should give Bare Minerals a try, even just as a sample or as makeover in Sephora, however don't take it hard if it is not for you.

Well as one person mentioned, it is grainy, smells weird and I'm not sure if it really works. I used other Nivea products and I was really liked them, but this lip balm does not cut it.
It leaves this white film around even if you put on a bit, and it taste really bad. It does absorbe pretty fast, but it doesn't leave your lips feeling moisturized. Maybe in the summer it might be better to use because it is not that windy and cold, but for the winter it is not a good lip balm.
