Cleansers -LUSH - Angels on Bare Skin
tararae 2/25/2007 11:00:00 PM
AOBS is a cleanser and gentle exfoliater. It's kind of tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it. The redness in my cheeks has disappeared since I started using AOBS and other LUSH products. I like the idea of using natural products on my face. I will continue a LUSH facial regimine as it's making my skin glow!

Masks -LUSH - Crash Course in Skincare BioFresh Mask [DISCONTINUED]
tararae 2/25/2007 10:57:00 PM
I really like the idea of having FRESH face masks. The only problem is that you have to use them within 3 weeks which is hard for me because I usually only do a mask once per week and then I'd have lots of this mask go to waste. Crash Course is gentle enough that I could use it more often. It gives my skin a clean feeling after I use it. I definitely feel like it's been stripped of all the badness and need to put on moisturizer. The fresh masks dry nicely, the don't make your face feel tight, just clean. I would like to repurchase, but don't have a LUSH near me so I have to get someone to CP for me and ship overnight with ice packs. I probably won't do that again, but if I get near a LUSH on vacation, I will repurchase.

Scrubs -LUSH - Ocean Salt
tararae 2/25/2007 10:53:00 PM
This might just be my new HG exfoliater. It's not too harsh, but my skin feels wonderfully clean after I use it. I've been using it 2x a week and that seems to be working well. It's clearing up the few blemishes I had and I feel like overall, my skin looks more radiant since I began using it. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Rock Star
tararae 2/25/2007 10:51:00 PM
This is an awesome smelling soap. LUSH does a great job of choosing scents that you won't find anywhere else. This matches well with MMM and Creamy Candy. I usually don't like foody scents but Rock Star is a yummy sweet scent that makes me want more. It smells pink and girly! My only complaint is that the scent does not last, but that happens with all LUSH soaps.

Shampoo -Bumble & Bumble - Creme de Coco
tararae 2/3/2007 11:57:00 AM
I LOVE the smell of this shampoo. It's amazing. My hair has been very manageable since I started using this. I don't have tons of fly-aways and it detangles my long hair nicely. I will definitely purchase again when I run out. It is pricey, but you don't need a ton, and it really smells nice!

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Butterball Bath Bomb
tararae 2/3/2007 11:55:00 AM
I wasn't totally wowed with my first LUSH product, but I would buy Butterball again. I kind of wanted it to smell a bit more. It did leave my skin soft, but didn't give me the total moisturization I was hoping for. The water beaded up on my skin when I got out, but I did need lotion afterwards.

Eye Shadow -Stila - Kitten
tararae 1/7/2007 8:07:00 PM
I bought this after hearing so much about it on the mua boards. I like the color and consistency. It glides on nicely. The drawback is the amount of glitter/sparkle that I wasn't expecting. It may be too frosty for my day to day look. I will update after trying it with different color combinations.

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Gel Eyeliner
tararae 1/7/2007 8:04:00 PM
I bought this in bronze and love it so much. I prefer these to the MAC fluidlines. I'm still practicing the application of the gel but it's much easier than I thought it would be. These come in some nice colors and last a long time. You don't need much to make your eyes pop. I look forward to getting some more colors.

Gels/Soaps -Philosophy - Sugar Plum Fairy Bath and Shower Gel
tararae 1/7/2007 7:59:00 PM
I wasn't as thrilled with his as I had hoped to be. The packaging is super cute and the description sounded fabulous. Truth is, it has too sweet of a scent. My friend compared it to cough syrup. I like it better than she does and it does smell better in the shower than in the bottle. I thought it'd be shimmery on my body and it's not. I had higher hopes since this is a Philosophy product.

Gels/Soaps -Philosophy - Candy Cane 3-in-1
tararae 1/7/2007 7:55:00 PM
I adore peppermint candies, cakes, and desserts and now I love this too. This 3 in 1 has a very true peppermint smell. It's a great pick me up in the morning. I wish I would have bought it in the pack with the scrub and lip shine.

Treatments -Origins - Super Spot Remover
tararae 1/7/2007 7:52:00 PM
This is my HG when I break out. When I see a pimple starting I put on spot remover and it either disappears or comes to a head quickly so I can get the gunk out. I have rebought this so many time. My husband uses it if he gets a zit too. I love this product so much!

Treatments -Origins - Youthtopia Lotion
tararae 1/7/2007 7:50:00 PM
I got a sample of this with my gloss order and now I need to order it. This smells really good, which is important to me, plus it left my skin super smooth. I reccomend it if you don't have super dry skin, maybe normal or combination.

Lip Gloss -NARS - Orgasm
tararae 1/7/2007 7:46:00 PM
I didn't like one thing about this lip gloss. It has a sticky consistency and the color did nothing for my lips. It also didn't last very long at all, even over lip liner.

Shampoo -Matrix - Amplify Shampoo
tararae 1/7/2007 7:42:00 PM
This is my HG shampoo. I love the smell so much! I try other shampoos and always end up coming back to this. I use it in the Color treated hair version. Overall my hair does what I want with few fly aways.

Blush -MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish - Glissade
tararae 1/7/2007 7:38:00 PM
This looks soooo pretty, why doesn't it show up on me? I'm NW20 so I thought I would see something besides glitter, but I was wrong. I see lots of FOTD's where people look absolutely glowing. I didn't. Maybe another MSF will do the trick, but so far I don't see what all the fuss is about.
