Scrubs -Alba Botanica - Sugar Cane Body Polish

I'm another one who really likes this product, especially compared to many of the salt scrubs out there. I don't find it leaves any sticky residue, and the smell remind me of maple syrup. I use it with one of those scrub gloves to increase the exfoliating power. Definitely will repurchase!

Eye Shadow -Almay - Beyond Powder Eyeshadow

I have this in the quad 'Coffee Break', which is 3 browns plus a shell pink. The colours aren't that exciting but are good for everyday wear and last almost as well as my MAC shadows. They also seem fairly well-pigmented. My only complaint is that the lid hinges have cracked, although after four or five months in my make-up box maybe that's not so bad - one of my MAC did the same. I will definitely repurchase this quad when it runs out.

Lip Treatments -Almay - Lip Tint

I have this product in Cocoa and Nude, and I like both colours. Overall, I think the product is a pretty good compromise: it moisturizes fairly well, and the colour lasts a fairly long time. It's a bit strange that you can't get the product to retract in the tube, but I just have to remember not to swivel it up very much.

Lotions/ Creams -MMU Cosmetics - Shea body butter souffle
MedeaCat 2/25/2005 6:21:00 PM
Overall, I like this product. I'd give this cream a 7-8 on the moisturizing scale, but that's fine for me as we don't have very cold winters or forced air heating. It absorbs fairly quickly but since this is termed a 'souffle' rather than a 'butter' I expected as much. I have this in Grapefruit a la Vanille, which I really like. The scent lasts a long time - if I put this on my hands at bedtime in the morning they still smell a bit like vanilla!
