Lancôme Paris Hypnose Perfume
I adore a lot of Lancome products, but this smells absolutely disgusting, like those candy jelly orange slices with licorice. This putrid scent gave me a tummyache, I dont care to ever smell it again though it does well well.

Be Delicious is good for casual, everyday wear. It's sweet yet edgy at the same time.
I buy this scent for my mom around the holidays, it wears extremely well on blondes. unfortunately, it doesnt fit my personality. I love to smell this on others though!

Aquolina Pink Sugar Perfume

I love to wear pink sugar in the summertime. It reminds me of childhood, and makes me feel not so rabid on bad days. It comes in a candy striped tube with a pepper on it, and the scent is actually suprising. It smels like a more expensive cotton candy scent, but not sickening.
Its a very feminine, slightly flirtatious subtle scent. perfect for everyday wear. I did accidentally leave a bottle of this in my passenger seat while I went on vacation, and it evaporated. :( I'm currently out, but plan on restocking soon.
This is a fantastic scent, perfect for the young/young at heart. Thank you Aquolina!

This is an amazing scent and a staple in my perfume collection. Definately in my top 5!
I've been wearing this one since it first came out. I first smelled it in a magazine and didn't care for it, but when smelling it in Ulta it grew on me, and now it's on my dresser, in my handbag, on my keychain and in my shower. The body wash and souffle are heavenly, but the edt is by far the best.
Princess was inspired by Vera Wang's daughters, and has notes of vanilla, white chocolate and i believe blackberry. similar to philosophy's falling in love, but slightly sweeter. This one has an adorable bottle, a great staying power, and makes you feel very sweet, soft, and feminine. It drives guys, moms, and co-workers crazy. :)
My dad buys me this for christmas every year, it makes a wonderful valentines day present as well.
oh, sweet princess. what would i do without you? <3

I had hoped for a little more with this one. As a philosophy addict, i've never ever been disappointed with any of their products, This is the one i just can't make myself like. maybe its my body chemistry, but it just smells too soapy on me, and kind of reminds me of my grandmother's emeraude perfume.
I did find that the Bodywash/Shampoo is nice to bathe my cat in though, It leaves her smelling lovely, is extremely gentle and leaves her fluffy Himalayan fur very manageable. It just won't work on my skin. I'll stick to falling in love and baby grace for now. :)

I recieved this in a giftbag at a KAO brands meeting for work. I've always been a fan of Biore's facial strips, but havent had much luck with their cleansers/scrubs. This has been their most effective yet!
A little of this product goes a long way, though it rinses off easily and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and clean. Instead of having tiny abrasive beads in this scrub, they use gentle very even tiny spheres which kind of makes you want to scrub harder, but there isnt a need to. This effectively removed all of my makeup and left my skin feeling very soft. It's perfect for a girl on the go, though I wouldnt recommend daily use on sensitive/dry skin.
My boyfriend actually stole this one from me, and specifically asks for it if it's not in the shower when he hops in. It appears to work well on guy skin too. :)

I purchased one of these mascaras the day they came in at work, because it was our item of the month.
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of Maybelline, but loved their last mascara and thought id try this one.
When I first opened the tube, I was delighted by the scent. It smells almost like a freshly watered garden, and the brush makes it very easy to apply. I didnt find it much different from the other Maybelline formulas though, apart from the cute packaging and nice scent.
Overall, this is a nice, budget friendly mascara to use for incredibly long lashes. It did well at seperating and lengthening, but I wouldnt reccomend this to a lady looking for more volume. So far, this has been a popular item with the ladies at work and It doesnt smudge easily, but it could be longer wearing .
I think colossal lash is still their best mascara. :)

I recently bought a pound of this at Lush's after christmas sale, after promptly unwrapping it and cutting it into little slices i handed some out to my friends/mom/boyfriend who all had several different opinions on this soap.
My boyfriend loves the scent it leaves on my skin, which is a delicate honey/toffee mix. My mother adores the soap because she thinks it smells delicious, and my friend dislikes using it because it smells sickeningly sweet to her. My cat dislikes being washed with this soap, and the dog adores it.
my personal opinion?
This product smells and looks edible (dont try it, its very sour) gives you a very moisturizing, almost milky lather, and leaves you with a delicious light scent. It's a perfect indulgence when you have a sweet tooth, because its guilt free and leaves you satisfied. :)
A bar of this lasts forever, though daily use will result in becoming immune/burned out on the scent.
Karma is still my favorite, but Honey I washed the Kids isnt far behind!

This is such a great bath bomb to use after a long day. it leaves you smelling heavenly, and gives your bath a fun twist. similar to a honeybee bath bomb, it leaves a golden glimmer in your tub/bathwater, which never fails to bring a smile to my face.
if you dont like random things floating in your bath, i reccommend using a nylon on this bomb before tossing into the tub to catch the herbs etc.

For those of you who have never used a LUSH bath bomb, they are by far the best. Theyre enormous ball shaped bath salts packed with moisturizing and mostly organic ingredients, essential oils and a lot of times, they wield a fun suprise.
Toss one of these in the bath and it fizzes like mad, omitting jasmine and ylang ylang essential oils and turning your bath water a nice shade of pink. it leaves a lovely scent in your hair and on your skin, and the very best part is the pink rice paper flower that pops to the surface of the water when the bomb is dissolved. i can't get enough of this one. :)
