Scrubs -St. Ives - Warming Scrub
iamalovecat 10/27/2008 1:38:00 PM
Not a bad warming scrub- prior to this, I used the regular St Ives Apricot Scrub which I love for its grainy texture. This scrub has teeny tiny exfoliating beads, and the kicker is that it warms up too (even if its just for a quick second). The warming sensation is lovely, it relaxes your pores. Other than that, this product is like any other exfoliator so if that's what you're looking for, then this is great. I'm trying the OLAY Thermal Regenerist scrub now, just to see if its any good- it has a ton of good reviews, a little more pricey though. :]

Pressed Powders -Laura Mercier - Pressed Setting Powder - Translucent
iamalovecat 10/27/2008 1:31:00 PM
This is a very finely milled powder which means that it will look natural on the skin. The only downside is that because it is such a finely milled powder, it tends to rub off a little more, especially when you're trying to apply with the sponge or brush. Overall however, this is a pretty good pressed powder. The price is a little expensive, but its good quality. And, this lasts forever! I use this powder everyday to set my makeup, going on 1 year and its still going! :]

Concealers -BeneFit Cosmetics - Boi-ing

Is it just me or did Benefit change the consistency in this concealer with the new clear small tub packaging? I don't know. This is a good concealer, its not very creamy, so make sure you moisturize well before applying it or else it won't blend well. Coverage is excellent, staying power is slightly above average. Overall, a good concealer but not great. I will look for an alternative when I'm done with this one, if I can't find anything, then this one will do :]

Treatments (Eye) -The Body Shop - Daily Eye Treatment with Kinetin [DISCONTINUED]
iamalovecat 10/27/2008 1:19:00 PM
I am a HUGE fan of products from The Body Shop, so I naturally had high hopes for this product, which the company promotes as having kinetin, a natural element found in plants that firms your skin etc. Unfortunately, this product fell short, waay too short. The cream, like many other reviews seen here, does indeed flake, leaving white flakes on your undereye, its annoying because you have to pick off the flakes and then apply your makeup or whatever else. The smell is okay, it comes in a little tub, a little pricey for the fact it leaves flakes and no visible results as of yet, but then again, I'm not planning on using it except maybe at night. I'm going to hold on to this as a night cream but get another brand as my day eye cream. :]

The color in the pan looks dull, but don't let that turn you off. On the skin, its a beautiful peachy rose that looks absolutely natural!! Very good product, and I love blush- I have NARS, MAC, Dior etc, this one is the best! :]
