Top/Base Coats -Orly - Sec 'N Dry Multi-Layer Quick-Dry Topcoat
xxanaisxx 3/16/2011 3:29:00 AM
Looooove this stuff! I've always used CND Super Shiney top coat, but was having difficulty finding it (plus its long dry time was starting to bug me). I love Orly's products in general and picked this up when my last bottle of CND ran out - it's absolutely perfect! Dries extremely quickly, and gives a perfect finish - very smooth and shiny. My only complaint is that it comes in a 0.3 Fl. Oz/9 ml bottle, which is pretty small - I get through it very quickly. But overall it's awesome - two thumbs up!

Polishes -China Glaze - Four Leaf Clover
xxanaisxx 9/10/2010 2:33:00 AM
Gorgeous polish! Flawless bright yet muted turquoisey green creme - it's everything I wanted Color Club Wild Child to be, but fell short of due to opacity issues and slightly chalky look . Great application and wears really well. Warning: it does stain your nails AND fingers horrendously when you remove it though (REALLY horrendously).

Lips -Philosophy - Raspberry Sorbet Lip Shine
xxanaisxx 9/9/2010 8:16:00 AM
I really like this lip gloss - it smells and tastes like raspberry candy, gives a light pink (shimmery) tint to lips and is really moisturising. Plus I find to be less sticky than other Philosophy glosses! Would repurchase.

Polishes -China Glaze - Grape Pop
xxanaisxx 7/3/2010 2:29:00 AM
I bought this online, and when it arrived I was gutted - in the bottle it looked like a slightly darker version of OPI's Parlez Vous OPI?, a colour I didn't like at all on me. But on the nail, this Grape Pop a rich, blue-toned purple creme, slightly muted, but nothing like the OPI. I love this colour. The formula is slightly thick, which makes application a little difficult, but the result is great when it dries - glassy, shiny and flawless. Would definitely repurchase.

Polishes -OPI - Catch Me In Your Net
xxanaisxx 7/3/2010 2:23:00 AM
Gorgeous colour! I see it as a turquoise shimmer, with yellow/green duochrome effect - reminds me of a mermaid! I don't see all the colours in the glitter/shimmer that the other reviewers have mentioned, and really wish I did. I've also found even with a base coat, it stains my nails (and cuticles) terribly! Total (greenish) smurf fingers when removing it. But overall, an amazing colour, would repurchase.

Polishes -China Glaze - Bermuda Breakaway
xxanaisxx 7/3/2010 2:15:00 AM
This polish was darker than I expected, based on bottle colour - I was expecting a slightly darker, slightly more purple version of OPI Dating a Royal, but this polish is a deep navy blue creme. As another reviewer mentioned, it's definitely a creme version of OPI Russian Navy (minus any glitter). I do love this colour though - application is flawless (total opacity in two coats, perfectly smooth and quick drying) and the colour is great. Would repurchase.

Shampoo -LUSH - The Blonde
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 4:06:00 AM
This is a great solid shampoo - it made my hair shiny and definitely brightened it, plus the packaging is cute and the scent's nice. I've since gone back to using products for chemically treated hair, which are most moisturising. But I think it would be a great shampoo for naturally blonde hair.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Rock Star
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 4:02:00 AM
I love this soap, it is expensive, like most of LUSH's products, but it's so worth it for the sweet scent! It smells amazing, lathers well and leaves the bathroom gorgeously fragranced - it also fragrances any room or bag you keep it in. Will definitely repurchase.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Yummy yummy yummy
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 3:58:00 AM
Really weird smell (I can't even explain it), and incredibly thin consistency - I definitely regretted buying the 500ml bottle! Definitely won't repurchase.

Gels/Soaps -LUSH - Snow Fairy Shower Gel
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 3:55:00 AM
I love this shower gel! It's a beautiful pink sparkly shower gel that gives a great lather and leaves the bathroom fragranced for ages afterwards. I first bought it in a post-Christmas sale in a buy one, get one free offer - a great deal. But it's kind of expensive normally. I can see how people would find its fragrance too synthetic, but I love how sweet and 'pink' it is. Would definitely repurchase.

Cleansers -LUSH - Angels on Bare Skin
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 3:51:00 AM
I adore this cleanser - it's mild yet effective. However, it is really expensive, and so I've stopped using it in favour of other more inexpensive yet equally good cleansers/exfoliators. But I would repurchase in the future, it's a great product.

Cleansers -LUSH - Fresh Farmacy
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 3:48:00 AM
This was terrible, the worst cleanser I've ever used! I don't have sensitive skin, but it left my skin stripped and irritated - definitely did nothing to calm it. I normally use all products up since I don't like to throw any away, but I ended up binning the bar as I just couldn't bring myself to use it up. I found Angels on Bare Skin to be a much better LUSH cleanser. Would not repurchase.

Treatments -LUSH - Marilyn Hair Moisturiser
xxanaisxx 6/24/2010 3:41:00 AM
I tried this for my hair with a few other LUSH products, and was disappointed in this one. I found that I needed to use quite a lot of product, and since the pot isn't very large (very cute though, love the look of it in the bathroom), it ran out quite quickly - not good when a pot is quite expensive! I couldn't see a noticeable difference in my hair, and it definitely didn't do anything for its blondeness. Would not repurchase.
