I have both this (the body mousse) and the shower froth in Desserted Island and love it!
The name is a bit deceiving though, as it isn't a mousse like texture or anything, it is just like your standard body lotion, but it has the most amazing vanilla/coconut scent. It moisturizes my dry skin really well and absorbs easily with no greasy feel. The only thing I would change, would be that the scent could last longer on your skin (it smells great applying, but doesn't stick around very long), other than that a great product!

Essie To Dry For Top Coat

I love this top coat!
I first picked up a bottle when Shopper's had Essie stuff on for $7.99. I ended up doing my nails the next day so I tried it out. I was very happy! This top coat is better than any other I have tired as not only does it dry your nails faster (less time waiting around with wet nails is a total plus!) but it also gives a glossy protective coat to your polish you can actually feel. After my first application, I noticed myself feeling my nails; they felt so great. Needless to say, i went back and bought three bottles for back ups before the sale ended.
The only downside is that if you use too many layers or touch up (I like to add a fresh layer of top coat every other day or so) you can end up with too much making it chip in big flakes. I try to keep it to no more than two coats to prevent any premature damage. Overall a great top coat worth a few extra dollars.

I revived the Pro Active Green Tea Moisturizer in the Holiday Beauty Box that The Shopping Chanel had a while ago, and am so in love with it!
I don't really have acne issues, so I had never used any of the products in the ProActiv line, but since I had the moisturizer I was going to give it a try. I am so pleased that I did! I have combination/ dry skin, so I find that a lot of moisturizers are either not strong enough for my dry areas and perfect everywhere else or are great for my dry areas and too strong for everywhere else and end up leaving me oily. This moisturizer is the perfect combination for my skin!
I use this after cleansing and it feels great. It makes my skin feel soft and it doesn't leave me oily or dry. The only thing that would make this moisturizer absolutely perfect would be if it had SPF. I love this product and will for sure be purchasing again when my current tube runs out.

OPI Nail Polish in Suzy Says Feng Shui

This is one of the first OPI nail polishes I bought, and I couldn't be happier in both colour and application.
Firstly, the colour is a beautiful mid-tone blue that looks so great on, I couldn't stop looking at my nails. And of course, like most OPI polishes, it applies like a dream with perfect opaque coverage with only two coats (one if you are really spot on) I can't say enough great things about this colour! It is a must have for anyone who enjoys a pop of colour.

I was lucky enough to receive a small bottle of this from Chick Advisor (thank you!) and while the scent is quite unique and it took some time to figure out what I thought of it, I am no liking it.
This scent isn't for everyone, it has a very unique scent and really does take some time to get used to. It is slightly sweet but not quite and is on the strong side. I am enjoying wearing it, but every time I do I get this lingering feeling that I have to sneeze. I don't actually sneeze, but something in the scent bothers my nose. Heads up to those with allergies! Overall though, it is definitely a scent worth trying out.

Even thought I don't get really oily, I was looking for a product to have on hand that I could apply without any caking or drying.
Overall, I liked this product because it eliminated shine, didn't get cakey and felt great on, the only problem (and it is kind of major) was that it didn't apply transparent on me... it made me blue. Seeing as I am not a smurf, blue isn't really what I go for, so this product gets a pass from me.

I was excited to try this when I bought it, as I like to keep a facial cleanser or scrub in the shower for the mornings when I am in a hurry and don't want to take the extra step of cleansing at the sink.
The idea of this product is great: apply product to your face and let the steam from your shower activate it. Well... my shower is mighty steamy, yet it didn't really do anything. I let it sit on, like you are supposed to but other than a mild scrub that I got when I rubbed it around it didn't do much. I found when I washed it off it left a residue on my face and I didn't feel clean and refreshed. Also, the scent! Ick, it smelled of artificial orange, very similar to citrus scented bathroom cleaner. I have loved almost every clean and clear product I have used, but this one was a major miss.

I first tried a sample of Bohemian that came in one of my purchases. Although I am not usually a big fan of lemon scented things, I had to get a full size bar.
Bohemian is a lemon scented bar soap that smells so great. It is a singular scent, but it is refreshing and is great for a pick me up when forced to be out of bed and into the shower early. I found that my bar takes a lot of effort to make it lather, but I don't mind as it still leaves my skin feeling very clean and lightly lemony.
The only downside I have noticed is that it is slightly drying, but I tend to have dry skin anyway so it isn't that big of deal, I just need to remember to moisturize.

Lush Dark Angels Cleanser is a cleanser that gives you a deep down clean and a bit of a scrub all at once.
Dark Angels is unlike any other cleanser I have tried before, as it a solid chunk that you break a small piece off of and make into a paste. You then apply it and cleanse like normal. The reviews on the Lush website say that it is messy to use, but I don't find it to be an issue. I keep mine in a Lush can to keep it well sealed, but I have to be careful as the ca seals too well and can be crazy hard to get open.
Dark Angels is mainly meant for young, oily skin ( I fall into neither of those categories) but I like to use it a few times a week for a deep cleansing and as a plus the black sugar in it exfoliates too.The product contains charcoal (that is what makes it black) and has a slight black licorice scent.
You get a pretty big chunk for the price and it will last a while, even if you use it as your daily cleanser. All in all I am very happy with this cleanser and recommend!

Living in Canada and having to deal with dull, dry, winter skin is no fun. Especially when one gets it everywhere, but thanks to the ingenious folks at lush lip care just got a little more sweet.
Sweet Lips is a vanilla and chocolate scented sugar scrub that removes all the dull fry skin from your lips while conditioning them at the same time too. Better yet, it is edible, and it tastes just as good as it smells (it smells fab.)
You just put a dab on your finger and gently rub and it makes your lips smooth and conditioned. It is perfect for use before lipstick and any other lip colour of your choice really, since even lip gloss can look bad on dry scaly lips.
A great product! I defiantly recommend too.
