Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Chocomania Body Butter
PhatMuffin 1/16/2013 11:53:00 AM
I've been a huge fan of these body butters for years! I have tried almost the whole range and loved them all but the formula on this one is just awful! It does not sink into the skin at all but rolls off in doughy flakes a couple off minutes after applying. It also have the worst taste! It might sound weird (I swear it did not eat it). Even if I don't touch my face at all it somehow gets in my mouth, even after I wash my hands. I'm very disappointed in this product, it's too bad because it smells delicious!

Lotions/ Creams -Garnier - Body Cocoon

God, this smells so good! A light lotion that absorbs quickly into the skin. I also use this as a hand lotion. Works perfectly!

Misc Beauty Tools -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 12:57:00 PM
These just doesn't work! I have an oily t-zone and when I found these I got really exited but when I dab my nose or chin with them nothing really happens. Might as well just regular tissue paper.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Coconut Body Butter
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 12:49:00 PM
I love TBS body butters and always have one at home but this has got to be the worst coconut scent I've ever encountered! Way too sweet and nauseating like coconut oil gone rancid or old SPF lotion. I usually love sweet coconut scents but this makes me gag. First time I've ever thrown away a product because of the smell.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Body Butter - Brazil Nut
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 12:44:00 PM
This smells so good! It's super moisturizing but a little sticky if you use it on the entire body so I just use it on my hands, elbows, feet and legs after shaving. I don't need that much moisture other places anyway so I'm a big fan of these and always have one in my bathroom closet. A great allround cream for dry patches!

Lip Treatments -The Body Shop - Lip Butter
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 12:39:00 PM
Just awful! Not only did it turn my lips white it actually dried them out!! The packaging is really cute but after a few days in my bag the rim and the lid is super messy and sticky with the product, not very hygienic! I so wanna love these because I use the body butters all the time but these have got to be the worst lip product I've ever encountered.

Masks -The Body Shop - Blue Corn Mask
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 12:34:00 PM
Auch!! This stung so badly I had to wash it away within a minute! My skin was left stingy, blotchy and red. Clearly I had some allergic reaction which has never happened to me before with a mask or cleanser. Dab a little on your cheek before applying on the entire face so you won't end up looking like I did.

Lip Gloss -Mary Kay - Lip gloss
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 10:48:00 AM
I have four of these and I'm really satisfied! They apply evenly, are non sticky and the lasting power is great, a combination I rarely find in other brands. The packaging is cute and small so you can have it in you pocket or wallet even, and they make these with a doe foot applicator instead of a brush. Thats really a matter of personal taste but I can't stand brush applicators and never buy glosses with them. The scent it nice and sweet but not overpowering. I miss a couple of shades in the color range but this again is a matter of personal taste. Another large plus is that they are very moisturizing, so moisturizing in fact that they can almost replace chap stick.

Styling Products -TiGi - Ego Boost
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 10:39:00 AM
If I use this in wet hair it makes it crunchy and if I use it in dry hair it gets heavy and dull. I've used this stuff for a couple of weeks now and I can't see any difference on my dry split ends. A bit disappointing because I'm usually satisfied with TiGi products.

Eye Makeup Remover -H & M - Makeup remover pads
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 10:34:00 AM
This comes in a pack of 80 and is really cheap, I always have these with me when I travel, they are not exactly an HG makeup remover but they do the trick. The packaging keeps the pads moist down to the last one and you only need one to remove all your eye makeup. They can be a bit tough on sensitive eyes because you have to rub a little bit and thats why I don't use them on a daily basis but for traveling and when you are to broke to buy something more expensive they are great!

Lotions/ Creams -H & M - Coconut Lime Body Lotion
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 10:19:00 AM
H&M's body lotions always smells so good and this is no exception. It's really cheap but it does not smell cheap. Unfortunately it takes a long time before my skin absorbs the lotion, I have to rub and rub and rub and I still have white residue all over. Despite of that I always have a H&M lotion in my bathroom closet for when I run out of my usual lotion, and also because they smell so darn good.

Eye Primer -Mary Kay - Eye Primer
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 10:12:00 AM
Easy to apply and you need almost no product at all so this tiny tube lasts forever! It's white but when you apply it it's not visible. I have oily eyelids but this prevents streaking and fall outs. No smell, no mess and a hygienic tube. I don't have anything bad to say about this!

Blush -Make Up Store - Blush (all shades)
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 8:59:00 AM
The best thing about these blushes is that there are so many shades to choose from! They have everything, from bright reds, peachy, pale pink, shimmery pinks to dark burgundy. I think everyone will be able to find several favorites from their selection. They are easy to apply evenly and buildable. Plus, they last forever! I've used mine every day for a year now and it hardly has a dent in it. Great value! The packaging is black and elegant and you can stack on on top of the other. The only minor con I have to mention is that the lid sometimes falls off but it easy to snap back on again so it's never really been a problem for me.

Eye Shadow -Make Up Store - Microshadow (all shades)
PhatMuffin 4/29/2012 8:50:00 AM
So many gorgeous colors to choose from! I have 10 of these and they might be some of the best eyeshadows I've ever used! They have great pigmentation and the staying power is amazing! After applying it in the morning it lasts through a nine hour shift at work, a jogging trip and a night on the town and it still looks fantastic, just like when I applied it in the morning! They are soft and easy to apply and blend and there are no fall outs, smudging or streaking. Also the pan is rather big so you get a lot of product for a good price, I've never been able to finish one of mine. The packaging is black and elegant and you can stack on on top of the other. The only minor con I have to mention is that the lid sometimes falls off but it easy to snap back on again so it's never really been a problem for me.
