I'm loving Le Petit Marseillais White Peach & Nectarine Extra Gentle Shower Gel! It has a beautiful scent, like real nectarines... not the horrible fake peachy scent you get with other products. It lathers beautifully, and doesn't strip the skin.
The only problem is my children are loving this as much as I am... and I don't want to share!
I would definitely repurchase!

Here's the scoop:
These are higher in protein and lower in sugar than most other protein bars, and fairly reasonably priced.
My kids thought these were awesome and my hubster also enjoyed them. I found them a wee bit chalky but otherwise tasty and I enjoyed that they weren't as sickly sweet as most protein bars I have tried. I'm a bit uncertain about the 'sugar alcohol' as an ingredient. Better than sugar? Yes! But still not the greatest ingredient. I would repurchase as a post workout snack for when I'm too lazy... but overall we'll stick to 'real food' :)

I've been enjoying the Know Cosmetics No Bare Brows very much. I'm blond with relatively dark brows, so the colour works well for me... might be a little dark for someone who's quite fair.
The pencil is very soft and easy to use. It wears well through the course of the day. I'm really liking the clear wax side of the pencil... great for taming unruly brows and to add volume in the inner brow.
Will definitely repurchase :)

I enjoyed the taste of the PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed very much. I sometimes find PowerBars a little too sweet for my liking. At 200 calories with 20g of protein per bar... I think this is a decent emergency food although I'm not a big fan of the sugar alcohol content.
While sugar alcohol might be better for you than actual sugar (what wouldn’t be?) it is still not terribly healthy. If you're having a huge craving for something sweet, sugar alcohols are the less evil than sugar, but in terms of healthy-eating, you would be better off grabbing an apple than downing a protein bar full of this stuff.
Not 100% sure if I'll purchase in the future... other products I enjoy without the sugar alcohol.

I wanted to love Bite Agave Lip mask, but unfortunately it did not love me back. I was on the hunt for an amazing green product that eliminated chapped lips. My first impressions of Bite Agave lip mask were great. It's super hydrating; nice and thick... stays on the lips... tastes great.
However, within a day of use... I had an allergic reaction to the product. My lips swelled up like a balloon. I looked like I'd had bad lip injections. It took weeks to heal. I am not typically sensitive to products, and I wasn't able to figure out which individual ingredient caused the reaction.
Do be careful :)
I will not be repurchasing.

***shine on you crazy diamond***
Tata Harper Illuminating Moisturizer Review
.
I have tried quite a few of Tata Harper's products, and have found the formulations to be lovely; however there is something about the scent of her products that unfortunately just doesn't work for me. I don't have any sensitivities to fragrance... there's just something about the characteristic Tata scent that doesn't resonate with me. Am I the only one?
.
That said, I recently tried Tata Harper's Illuminating Moisturizer and it is heavenly. I don't find the scent to be quite as overpowering as her other products (still pretty strong though). This moisturizer is hydrating without making my skin feel oilier. .
Sometimes (as a plus 40 woman) I struggle with products that contain too much 'sparkle.' The shimmer in this product is made from diamond dust (Yep. really!) and it gives a beautiful, subtle shimmer... not too disco. I suffer from 1980's post-frosty makeup regret, so I will use any product with sheen with a very light touch. Tata's illuminating moisturizer is great under makeup, or over top of makeup as a light spot highlighter on high points.
Would I purchase? It wouldn't be number one on my list... simply because it is cost prohibitive. Once a few of my kids move out, and I can increase my skin budget... I'm all over it!

Sunday Riley's Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream
Moisturizers and I don't get along. My skin tends towards the oily side of things... and most moisturizers just don't feel great on my skin... they coat; don't absorb and they contribute to the oil slick that is my daily reality. One of my game-changing skin moments was the realization that I don't really need moisturizers.
Until I discovered Sunday Riley's Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream.
Here's what they say:
Tidal delivers an intense water drench plus two forms of hyaluronic acid for a more youthful, hydrated look. Papaya enzymes smooth and exfoliate, while alpha-arbutin and exotic floral extracts brighten hyperpigmentation spots and illuminate the complexion. Tidal significantly increases hydration within minutes and provides up to 24 hours of continuous moisture.
Here's what I think:
Tidal is beautifully hydrating without ever feeling oily, or filmy. The plumpification (is that a real word?) factor of this product is insane! My skin feels amazing when I use it: bouncy and full of hydration without any greasiness. Tidal has a very mild scent that disipates quickly and the texture is a light, cooling gel.
I love it over an oil/under an oil or by itself. I especially love Tidal as a final step after Hydrate and Etoile from Jordan Samuel Skin. Makeup applies nicely overtop.
Everyone's skin is different. Somethings will work for me, and not for you and vice versa. Skincare for me is 2 parts understanding your skin, and what it's asking for, and 1 part trial and error. I have already repurchased Tidal... I love it that much! The only criticism I have is I'm not a huge fan of the packaging (straight up jar - easy to contaminate). Other than packaging issues, I adore Tidal.
