I bought this body butter because I really liked the smell at first. However, after a few times, it started giving me a headache as it is very intense and strong and long lasting. I got tired of it very fast. As for the quality of the lotion, most Body Shop Body Butters I find are very greasy (which I don't like) and doesn't absorb well, leaving grease stains on everything I touch for at least 15 minutes. I have a few Body Butters from the Body Shop and some of the scents I find overwhelming. I prefer to go with a much lighter scent like Papaya. It's also not really one of my favorite body creams so I think I am done with this brand, even though I know it's very popular. -

I absolutely LOVE the Body Butters from this brand. I like each and every one of the scents. The texture is thick and absorbs very well and moisturizes leaving a silky feeling without it being greasy at all. The price is a bit steep but definitely worth it. A little goes a long way. I also recommend the rollerball perfumes of this brand (LAVANILA Laboratories) which are affordable.
Scents: Comes in Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Lavender, Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla Grapefruit.
About the Product: The 100% pure shea and cocoa butters are infused with super antioxidants, Goji Berry, and Kakadu Plum for a healthy dose of 30 essential vitamins and minerals that deeply nourish and hydrate. Free from petrochemicals, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oils, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates, and parabens.

ChapStick Classic Cherry Lip Balm
I'm a lip balm addict but I ALWAYS come back to Chapstick. I don't like the fact that with most lip balms I've used, I am always conscious of it just sitting on my lips (i.e. too waxy, greasy, drying, minty, doesn't absorb, etc)... +
I'm a lip balm addict but I ALWAYS come back to Chapstick. I don't like the fact that with most lip balms I've used, I am always conscious of it just sitting on my lips (i.e. too waxy, greasy, drying, minty, doesn't absorb, etc). With Chapstick, I barely pay attention to how my lips feel. I don't find it waxy at all and it prevents my lips from drying out. I need to have it on me at all times and if I don't, I go and buy another one. You can never have too many! The price is pretty affordable. I'm not sure how much the drug store sells them for (I think under $3) but I have even found them at Dollar stores in the past. I've actually been using Chapstick Classics (the red ones) since I was 4 and I probably will for the rest of my life!! -

I hate this mascara. I keep giving it "one more try" and I absolutely hate it. The formula is almost watery and the wand/comb is soaked with the product even after I wipe it with a tissue. When I apply it after one stroke it almost makes my lashes look like spiky flattened sheets of spider legs and it takes forever to dry. It's also very smudgy . I have the waterproof formula so its almost impossible to take off regardless of what eye makeup remover you use. My friend swears by this mascara and told me to just "comb it really fast" and I didn't see a difference. It's still horrible and we have similar eyes/lashes. I dont' know which is worse: the wand or the formula. I even tried to use it with a regular mascara wand (sample from Sephora) and it's still one of the worst mascaras for me! -

I love love love this blush. I have medium yellowish/olive skin tone and it works well. It is pinky and slightly shimmery and it goes on kind of satiny. I used to use a Clinique blush (I forget what color) and then finish it with a MAC mineralized skin finisher ( in Porcelain Pink) but with this blush I can skip the finisher. The scent is a bit perfumey for me but my friends all seem to like this blush and not mind the scent. It is a bit pricey but I think it's definitely worth it. I don't even want to try another blush. -

I love this mascara! I have stick straight hard-to-curl Asian eyelashes and this mascara doesn't actually curl my straight lashes but it's so far the best I've used that holds the curl after using an eyelash curler (waterproof is the best for that). It definitely gives length and i can really notice it when I apply it on my bottom lashes and it doesn't smudge or flake! I'm kind of a mascara junkie and this is one mascara I will be using again!! -

I really like this scrub. It scrubs off that dull layer of skin. I use it about every other day and a half or so. The grains are very fine so it feels like it's really getting in the skin. The only thing about this scrub that bothers me (which really isn't even really an issue) is that no matter how much I try to rinse off the product, I get little specks of dry white "scrub" around my eyes which comes right off when u wipe it with a tissue. I have severely combination skin (extremely oily to pretty dry in areas) and I don't find it too drying but I do moisturize right away.
Overall: It smells really good and I'd say the price is a steal for the quality. It's a good exfoliater to have around to use when you are in need of a skin turnover.

I received this product through ChickAdvisor and I don't think I've ever tried Marcelle brands before but I was quite impressed with this foundation for these reasons:
1) sheer and easy to blend evening out skin tone = doesn't look like heavy caked on foundation
2) very smooth with a nice finish.
I'm not sure how much the price is but I read somewhere it was around 22$ which seemed like a lot for something so small (the size I received) but then again I noticed I wasn't using too much of the product per application. As for anti-wrinkling, I can't really tell but it did leave my skin looking smooth. I have red scarring on my face so those are generally harder to cover up but it did pretty well on mild blemishes.
I'm not sure I will continue to use this product because I've never really been a fan of foundation. There is one negative thing about this product and that is the smell. I couldn't stand the smell. I can't even really describe it. I didn't really seem to notice too many users complaining about the smell so maybe I'm just sensitive to something particular in it. But other than that, I would definitely recommend this to a foundation user needing little to moderate coverage.

I have been exploring hand creams and lotions for years and years trying to find that perfect cream. I finally found it in this product. I love it! I work in the healthcare industry and am required to wash my hands up to 15-20 times a day and I wear gloves so my hands are very dry. I love this cream! It absorbs very easily, has a thick consistency when rubbing in but leaves almost no residue. I hate greasy creams and lotions for the hands so this is perfect. There is almost no scent. The only catch is the price. It's about $8 or $9 for 97mL, but then again I have tried other creams that were about 4 times more for less quantity which didn't work as well, so I am definitely sticking to this cream! Love it! -
