Just picked up the Berry lip stain. Applied to dry lips as instructed. Loved the deep berry color and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually quite opaque. Had a faint berry taste/scent on initial application. I had tried the testers on my very dry hands and the color hasn't come off yet, ever with makeup remover. The color/stain stayed, an hour or two, but did rub off a little when I tested. I also wanted to see how it would stand up to licking my lips - not so well. Also made my tongue a little red,so the stain is definitely 'stainy' :)
My lips don't feel dried out, I really like the color and at first its a bit shiny but dries to a nice matte which I also liked (but not crazy dry and cracking). Dont think it would stand up all night through dinner and drinks, but lasts longer and applies easily with the pen (reminds me of a French tip manicure pen style applicator). Sleek packing, and the lid gives a nice snap when it closes so I dont feel like my purse will be covered in berry stain after walking around for a day. I am going to head back and pick up a lighter color, and maybe an extra as I think it might be a nice little gift for my sister-in-law.

Haven't had any of the nail or spa portion, but have been there twice, and will keep going back for haircut & styles. Price is VERY reasonable for an all over color, cut, & style. I have paid over 300 for the same thing other places and this wasn't near that - I had to double check the price with them, I actually said, "that's it?!". looks like a small location, but is pretty deep in the building. Always posting neat fixes or different colors on their Facebook site which is nice to see. -

Followed a hairstylist from a different salon here - she's awesome and my mother is one of her regulars going a few times a month. A little pricey - but so worth it!! I wouldn't say it is a 'luxury' spa place, but it has nice bright windows, and comfortable setting, loud like most salons.
All staff there seems to be quite talented, and they have Aveda products - so I always opt for the Energizing-scent head massage, or, sometimes they offer complimentary hand/forearm massages - heaven!!
They will book for wedding parties to do hair (likely makeup too, but we had a friend doing this at my house). Always willing to do what you want, but will give an opinion which is much appreciated. Never had a 'go home and cry' moment!

Very attentive service (most of the time!), my husband has bought me a few rings from here. I love the look of opals - and they are hit and miss on their selection of manufactured opals - but he has gotten a couple very beautiful ones here. Also have a blue sapphire ring, which I drop by to have cleaned there as a courtesy every once in a while. Most of the sales staff are very kind and are happy to pop my rings in the cleaners, some, as with anywhere I guess, have been a little snooty - causing me to walk away and wait for another time to check out the selection and hopefully give the commission to someone more attentive! -
I love this minty floss. Glides between my teeth easily, which are close together. It's not thick and waxy, it is thin and satiny as the name says. It doesn't leave a residue, and I don't have to fight it to get between my teeth and then end up... +
I love this minty floss. Glides between my teeth easily, which are close together. It's not thick and waxy, it is thin and satiny as the name says. It doesn't leave a residue, and I don't have to fight it to get between my teeth and then end up jabbing and cutting into my gums! -

I. love. this. tea. It kept me alive during my most stressful life events. The packaging is so cute, there is a chick sitting on a dragon - what isn't there to love? on a side note, I just looked up what tame the dragon means... I don't mean that at all. Gluten-free status is right on the box. A couple key ingredients include eleuthero (boost resistance to stress), peppermint (grandma's go-to for upset tummies and period cramps), cinnamon (yums), ginger (good for nausea and digestion), chamomile (calming and digestion), and catnip ( probably good for something, but to me it is amusing because my cats either got very chill - or very crazy depending on the day). There's more in the tea than what I've mentioned, but it is just an overall caffeine-free, easy to sip, gentle on your stomach, relaxing tea. -
I missed fudgeo-esque cookies so much - these are probably better than the 'normal' not gluten-free variety!! The package looks like they could be called K-TOOS as well, but my nickname for them is heaven. Kinnikinnick did well on these - sometimes... +
I missed fudgeo-esque cookies so much - these are probably better than the 'normal' not gluten-free variety!! The package looks like they could be called K-TOOS as well, but my nickname for them is heaven. Kinnikinnick did well on these - sometimes their bread leaves something to be wanted, but these sandwich creme cookies are seriously good. -

My husband buys me the body spray all the time as we both love the scent. I bring it with us on trips and we mist the hotel rooms a little to give it more of a home feel (I am usually scent-sensitive too, and this body mist just isn't that strong if used sparingly). I don't 'bathe' in the stuff, one spray in the air, and walking into it is enough. I honestly am not usually a jasmine person - more of a coconut vanilla girl, but for some reason this product just does it for me. -

Love the packaging - I feel like someone might not 'snag' this up from me as it looks like nail polish :) A little on the expensive side, but a nice treat.
I got the Dangerous Lips because I have always loved the Roxette song. Great color - goes on smooth and covers well with a rich color. Does wipe off, I would like if it was more of a stain too, but I don't mind reapplying as it has a nice smell. I like that it has a great shine, and doesn't dry my lips out.

I don't even recall what I pay for this, and I don't even care. It lasts me a long time and a little goes a long way. I have a perm, and a pump of this serum with a curl activator gel is the cat's meow. Even when I straighten my hair, this adds a... +
I don't even recall what I pay for this, and I don't even care. It lasts me a long time and a little goes a long way. I have a perm, and a pump of this serum with a curl activator gel is the cat's meow. Even when I straighten my hair, this adds a sleek shine, nice smell, and doesn't weigh anything down or make it greasy. Love love love it. -
