I received a box of this chocolate as well as the dark chocolate version from the Product Review Club. I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate so I decided to try the milk chocolate first. I was surprised and a bit disappointed that the milk chocolate version actually contained dark chocolate mousse, but thankfully it was sweeter than other dark chocolate I've had.
I enjoyed the texture and taste of the chocolates and found the packaging cute and functional. But I have to say, I wasn't really wowed by the chocolates until I tried them when they had melted a bit. They were a lot messier this way but so delicious and smooth.
I think the price point ($3.99) is reasonable, considering the quality of the chocolate, the amount you get, and the packaging. This would even make a nice small gift for someone.

I have this in unscented and so far it's the best hand cream I've ever used. I don't find it too greasy, it absorbs easily and most importantly keeps my hands nice and smooth. I don't find that it does much for my cuticles, which is my only complaint. But otherwise I like this hand cream so much that I keep a small tube in my purse and on my desk at work at all times. I would definitely recommend this product! -

I have this in crimson and it's a great, pigmented red. Perfect for when you want to make a statement. I wore it to a wedding and a friend complimented me on my perfect lipstick. Of course, I had to whip this out to show off the packaging.
This stuff really stays put and doesn't leave you with that unattractive line around your lips. Yes, it's a bit drying, but this stuff is way better than any other long lasting lipstick that I've tried in the past. The moisturizing top coat is so great that I would buy this product on its own! Overall, I'm really happy with this lipstick and would recommend it for events where you want to look good but don't want to worry about checking your lipstick in the bathroom every half hour.

COVERGIRL TRUshine Lip Color

I have this in Fire, which is a bright red that looks great for a night on the town or can be worn sheer for daytime, and Coral Shine, which is a lighter coral than what I was hoping for. What I really like about this lipstick is that it's sheer and totally buildable, gives just a hint of shine and I don't find it drying on my lips at all. What I don't like is that you need to reapply and it definitely won't last through a meal. But overall I really like this lipstick and reach for it often. -
Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion

This is the best body lotion I've ever used! It's not too thick at all and absorbs really fast. But most importantly it kept my skin nice and moisturized through the winter, which is no small feat! I normally wouldn't spend this much on a body lotion, but I love the way it smells and after going through two of the trial sizes that come in Burt's Bees kits I was convinced that it was worth the price. I bought the Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Gift Set for my friend and she fell in love with this lotion, too!
I'm thinking for the summer I may switch to Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Lotion since it's a few dollars cheaper and is a bit runnier, for lack of a better word.

Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
I am just finishing up my tube and I will definitely be getting my hands on more! You only need a pea sized amount of the cream so the tube actually lasted me for over a year - mind you, I dabbled in other hair products, too. This stuff is awesome... +
I am just finishing up my tube and I will definitely be getting my hands on more! You only need a pea sized amount of the cream so the tube actually lasted me for over a year - mind you, I dabbled in other hair products, too. This stuff is awesome. Yes, it's pricey, but given that it takes so little product and leaves your hair so soft and manageable, the cost is justified. I can use a bit of this cream and blowdry my hair and it will actually do what I want it to do without having to break out my straightening iron! -

After reading reviews of this product I was really curious to try it. My skin gets dry in the winter and I wanted to try a dry oil since it seemed easier and faster than slathering on lotion. The way the dry oil works is that you spray it on as soon as you get out of the shower and rub it in. Your skin should still be damp so you can trap in the moisture.
I'm so glad I tried this product, it smells delicious, applies easily and leaves your skin soft but amazingly not greasy. I think this may just help me get through the long winter ahead!
My only complaint is that I had a lot of trouble finding this product in stores. I ended up ordering it from their online store, which was a bit of a bummer since I had to pay about $10 in shipping.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara

I have a few mascaras on the go right now but this is the one I reach for every morning. It doesn't clump or flake and one coat gives me the perfect look for daytime. It holds a curl better than other mascaras I've tried, which I really appreciate since I have such naturally straight lashes.
I don't mind the big wand, but I do find it harder to wield when getting at the lashes at the inside corners of my eyes. But really, that's my only complaint!
