Gels/Soaps -Dove - Moisturizing Body Wash - Firming

this did nothing to firm my skin... pity, i expected it to work since the body lotion did some noticeable firming. the scent is fresh and yummy~ its slightly moisturizing and laters up well with a bath lily. i'd probably use something more moisturizing for the winter though. not sure if i will buy again

boring packaging, left little spot clumps on my lashes ( brand new tube), which was easy to remove with a blotting tissue, but it smeared 4 hrs later. the brush doesnt do anything for u have scanty or short lashes. waste of money for me =(

Lotions/ Creams -Dove - Intensive Nourishing Lotion

i like the bottle, makes it easy for my hands to grip. this lotion doesn't feel that moisturizing, i think johnsons softlotion 24 hr is more moisturizing, and applies better too. i got this on sale, 3.50 for a 8.5 fl.oz bottle,and will buy again only if its on sale. quite disappointed, since the dove firming lotion had me really impressed. one good thing about this lotion is that it dries fast, and leaves no sticky feeling, unlike johnsons softlotion 24 hr

Scrubs -Freeman - Facial scrub with Apricot & Wild Cherry

the best scrub i have ever used( so far i have tried aveeno brightening scrub, st ives, clean and clear daily scrub, biore scrub(jp import), and dove daily scrub.) this smells very nice, the flip lid makes it easy to use. Theres not enough scrubbies in the lather to get rid of all the dry skin, esp around my lips, but its more gentle than most daily facial scrubs, so i use it 3 times a week after i cleanse off my makeup.

this is pretty nice~ i liked it and used it a year ago, nothing special, but very wearable and slightly floral,bottle is very pretty. just bought this again a week ago... i think i'm in love again. can be nauseating if u spray the perfume more than once on yourself though- i dont want my boyfriend to pass out on me. doesnt last more than 4 hrs on me

ooooooooooh i like ~ so delicious ~ my boyfriend cant get enough of it lol =) its not what i would call seductive, but it smells very fruity and appetizing. i am getting bored of the same bottle every year though... diff color but always same bottle... its been a year later: i think the smell is too sweet for me... think saccharin sweet, and add more sugar to it. smells too fake fruity for me now ><

bottle seems really fragile, but its a nice scent, smells like Body shop's Dewberry fragrance, in a cuter bottle. this is a bit too overpowering for me though, would buy again for a room freshener or something

i dont know if u guys have smelled mortein or baygon before... but this is a dead ringer for it... i used to like it till i had a whiff of mortein( an asian insect killer spray) and i tossed the bottle right after... i wish i never paid money to smell like a giant can of bug spray ; ;

its a very nice color, a bit drying for me, so i have to put on lipbalm before this. the staying power is pretty good, and the color is rich and vibrant ^^ theres golden shimmer specks in it too~ i love this~ will buy again. comes in a sleek cute metallic pink case too~ fits comfortably in my jeans pocket

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Shiny-Licious - ALL colors
rated 3 of 5

i like the packaging, allows me to control the amt of gloss. The felt tip is nice, its like a lipwand + squeezetube in one. i wipe the tip with tissue after i use it. very easy to apply, unlike babypink and loreal tubes, and has a nice scent, so i will buy again( i currently have Honeysuckle, south beach coral, cherry berry) Melon ball turns out a peachy light pink shade on my lips, honey suckle is sheer, and cherry berry is a reddish pink tint (asian with fair skin) EDIT: okay this product sucks, it separates after only 2 months, for which i have used it less than 10 times. gloss separated from the color, consistency is crap now. loreal doesnt do that, so i think i'll buy loreal. 3 lippies because its cheap and has a nice applicator tip.

Lip Gloss -Maybelline - Wet shine diamonds liquid in Marquise Peach

lovely peachy pink color when applied on lips~ has pretty shimmer bits in it and its moisturizing ~ no staying power tho, after i have a drink its all gone. nice slim packaging but the words on the cover fade after a while. note: a bit gritty feeling, but if you dont mind, its a great color to try on fair-yellow toned skin.
