Skincare - Body -LUSH - Each Peach Massage Bar
winterfairy 11/24/2008 7:00:00 AM
This smells of lemon - fresh and energising. Barely sweet (if at all). So don't know why they named it each peach... As I said, I use lush massage bars as solid body lotions and they do really good job moisturizing and soothing your skin.

Lotions/ Creams -LUSH - Fever Massage Bar
winterfairy 11/24/2008 6:57:00 AM
I use lush massage bars as a solid body lotion. They smell gorgeous and make your skin soft and moist. This smell is better for winter (it can be too owerwhelming in summer). I also was not too keen on the red lips on the bar because they make red stains on skin.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Fairy Jasmine Bath Bomb

This bath bomb smells wonderful! I adore jasmine, especially when it smells a bit dirty (combined with musk). I used half for a bath and other half like air freshener:-)

I have flying fox temple balm and I adore the smell. So I decided to try shower gel. Yes, that's it, wonderful while showering, but there were no smell at all on my skin after...

Moisturizers -Lancome - High Resolution Fibrelastine Anti-wrinkle Cream SPF 15
winterfairy 11/24/2008 6:20:00 AM
Mine is without SPF so I use it as a night cream. And I don't use it everyday because I'm about to turn 31 soon and this is aimend at 35+. But this is extraordinary cream! Rich, fine textured, great smell, leaves your skin supple and smooth and not oily and shiny at all (last is the result no other cream can achieve on my skin). I'm so sad I won't repurchase (because of animal testing)

Moisturizers -Lancome - Primordiale Night Skin Recharge
winterfairy 11/24/2008 6:14:00 AM
I'm not using it long enough (about 2 weeks now) to comment on anti-age effect. PROS: 1. texture&smell 2. refreshes your skin and makes it smoother, without leaving oily residue 3. no breakouts, pimples, blackheads... CONS: 1. price Anyway, as all the other Lancome products, I'll gladly buy again when they stop using substances tested on animals

Moisturizers -Lancome - Primordiale Skin Recharge Moisturizing Cream SPF 15
winterfairy 11/24/2008 6:07:00 AM
Too rich for daily moisturizer (but I have quite oily T-zone and normal rest of the face) so I use it for undereye area (especially because of SPF. It can collide with some of foundations (i.e. shiseido dual balancing). Not my cup of tea

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes - Raisin
winterfairy 11/24/2008 5:47:00 AM
Nice berry shade, strongly pigmented. Pretty sticky and longlasting. But I'm not a fan of any lip gloss, so it's not my cup of tea. And I don't like the tube - you have to be an expert to apply it striaght from the tube. Won't buy again (because of animal testing too)

Skincare - Face -Bourjois - Anti-shine Blotting Sheets
winterfairy 11/24/2008 5:36:00 AM
Best sheets I ever used were from Avon, but I can't find them anymore. These ones (Bourjois) are thin, papery (not gummy as Avon), reminds me a bit of Shiseido but without blue colour and powder. They are effective, but nothing special. If you're oily, you'll need two. 50 sheets per pack. PROS: -normal colour (like old paper - something between white and beige) I've always feel a bit stupid putting those screaming blue papers all over my face infront of others... CONS: -they tear easy during the use -smaller than shiseido and avon - so you'll maybe need 2 each time I'm not expecting from blotting sheets to be perfect, so even Shisedio's are a bit better (but they test on animals!), I'll buy Bourjois again.

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Rexona-Crystal Clear Aqua
winterfairy 11/19/2008 3:26:00 AM
I'm using spray version and I doubt I'll ever change it. It's not expensive, it's very effective and it really leaves no white marks on your clothes. Smell is nice and not to overwhelming.

Skincare - Face -L'Oreal - Pure Zone Anti Regreasing Moisturiser
winterfairy 11/18/2008 4:34:00 AM
Unlike Garnier pure, this is suitable for someone over 25. It isn't mattifying and drying that much. Nothing special, but effective as (much expensive) Shiseido pureness moisturizer.

It is classic, but it isn't good. Smell is too strong (clashes with perfume), efficiancy is poor and and it leaves white marks on your clothes.

Cleansers -Johnson & Johnson - Johnson's 3 in 1 Gentle Exfoliating Facial Wash
winterfairy 11/18/2008 3:59:00 AM
Very good - cleanses and exfoliates very well, just as any other pricey cleanser. But I won't buy again because of animal testing
