I recieved a free sample of this cleanser, plus the Hydro Nourishing Softener and Night Moisture Recharge lotion. They claim to be moisturizing and gentle, but I disagree.
These products were mostly scent-free which was nice, but that was the only thing I liked. This cleanser seemed like it would be very gentle, but as soon as it lathered up I could smell the soapiness of it. It was kind of irritating, and also dried my skin out slightly in some areas.
I tried the moisturizer afterwards and it was ok.....a bit greasy but other than that it was fine.
Personally, these products were disappointing and I doubt I will ever use them again, but I am sure there are other people out there who may have a more positive experience with this!

Secret Scent Expressions Cocoa Butter Kiss Body Splash

I also received this the other day from P&G;as a sample, which was pretty cool.
It is kind of a nice scent, but very very sweet. I love sweet scents but this is way too sugary, and it has a bit of a suntan lotion note in my opinion. (I also enjoy alot of those cocoa butter/coconut scented sun screens, but not as much when it's supposed to be a 'body splash' fragrance).
All in all I pretty much agree with takoda's review - this would be good for maybe someone a bit younger, who is starting to experiment with scents and everything :)

I bought this in Beige.
This is such a great eye liner, especially for those who aren't so pro (like me!) at applying eye liner perfectly. The beige is more of a mink/bronzey colour with some shimmer to it. It goes on super smooth - it glides on and stays put but also blends easily. You can wear it as a liner, or smudge it to wear with or as a shadow, so its really versatile.
My only complaint is that although it's 'jumbo', this eye liner is only like 3 inches long! I will definitely buy this again though, and want to try the other colours as well :)

This scent is DELICIOUS....
Who knew fig and caviar could smell this good? I haven't come across many products that are meant to smell like figs (let alone caviar lol), but it is amazing. This perfume has so many layers.....sweet, salty, musky, in a way cool but also warm. It is like the best of everything! (You only need one spritz for the whole day though, since it's quite strong - if you get headaches from perfumes or are sensitive in any way I would suggest putting it on your wrists or somewhere else further from your face.)
The design on the little bottle is so pretty but almost in a dark kind of way, and I love that it also came in it's own small bag so you can take it with you.
Thanks sooo much for giving me the chance to review this scent ChickAdvisor, it puts so many others to shame! I absolutely love it, and can't wait to find the nearest place that carries it!

I always fear looking for products to use on my lips!!! It's just difficult for me to pick out shades by myself that look kinda natural but still add that little somethin. SO I decided to just dive right in with this one, because lip stains have always been appealing to me and the colour selection was broad but pretty simple (some brands have like every colour under the sun and that makes it way more complicated for someone like me).
I ended up choosing Feelin' Rosy because it looked close to my natural lip colour. When I actually tried it on it is a little bit darker than expected but I still really like it :) The application itself is good too - the pen makes it easy to put on and the product stays where you put it, no smudging or anything.
It almost feels like there is nothing on my lips at all while wearing it, and although it doesn't last very long like others have said I don't mind reapplying every now and then.
There is also light scent as well, like berries - yum!
I recommend anyone try this product, just keep in mind the colour will be darker when it's actually on your lips, than what it seems like in the bottle.

(This shade is one of the Brights shades, if you want to go to the O.P.I website and 'try it on'.)
Mod About You is not a shade I would have chosen myself - a family member gave it to me because they love it, and now I really do too! In the bottle it looks like a really pale and dusty pink - almost a nude.
However, once I put it on it brightened right up (two coats helped, with just one coat the colour is kind of streaky.) That is the other thing too, this is the only O.P.I that I've come across that looked so streaky with just one coat. I think that is because of the colour itself - I usually go for more metallic or shimmery shades, but this is a solid pink.
Besides that tiny little flaw this is another perfect O.P.I nail polish: it goes on easily, dries pretty fast and it LASTS for days and days!

Just bought this in MANDARIN the other week at WalMart for super cheap, only about $3. It was a good deal- I find that Sally Hansen always has a ton of shades to choose from, and the quality is good enough for me.
This shade is a good summer colour, a nice bright orange with a hint of shimmer - it would definitely look good on anyone. The polish goes on nicely too, you just have to put on two coats for a completely solid look.
It takes a while to dry (considering 2 coats as well) but it is definitely worth it if you have the time. I used a clear top coat, but this stuff still lasts very long without any chipping.
So far I am totally satisfied with all Sally Hansen nail polishes, plus this colour is really cute :)

Fruits & Passion Orange Cantaloupe Eau de Fruits

MMMMM this scent is so delicious. (Most of the Fruits & Passions fragrances are, really!)
It's definitely more of a cantaloupe/melon scent, but the orange rounds it out and gives it a bit of an edge. Its fruity and warm, and your man or friends or whoever are probably going to want to eat you up if you wear this!!
Yes, it is a very sweet scent, but soo fruity. It lasts pretty long as well, but layering (they have body wash, lotions and creams, etc) helps the scent to last all day.
This is such a nice little treat - especially when you get the box sets. If you don't love Orange / Cantaloupe, I am sure Fruits & Passions will have one that you do enjoy!

I also recieved this for Christmas one year, and after trying it out for a while I decided it just wasn't for me. It smells strongly of grapefruit which is nice, but I find it much too artificial (it kind of gives me a headache). The price is good, but I recommend spending a bit more to get something better. -
