Mascara -Maybelline - Great Lash Mascara

I find that this mascara clumps a lot and is therefore difficult to apply. The only good thing about this product is the price.

Masks -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Oil Face Mask
rated 2 of 5

I have tried all the other tea tre products, so I decided to try this as well. This mask was disappointing and aside from making my skin feel refreshed it did nothing for me. I prefer the honey/oat mask.

Polishes -OPI - Pink Friday
rated 4 of 5

I absolutely love the colour of this nail polish. If you're a fan of the colour pink, then this nail polish is definitely for you. My only problem is that this nail polish is a bit sticky and quite thick, so applying a second coat can be problematic.

Polishes -Borghese - nail laquer - all colors
rated 3 of 5

I found a set of the Borghese Rapido Fast Dry nail polish on sale and was excited to try them. While I do enjoy the colours, I found this nail polish to be quite thin and streaky..so I needed to apply three coats before I could really see the colour. I did not really notice any difference in drying time. I probably would not buy Borghese nail polish at full price.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Almond Oil Intensive Hand Rescue
rated 5 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 2:38:00 AM

This hand cream is fantastic. The scent is nice, the lotion is smooth and non-greasy, and you only need to use a little bit..so the product lasts a long time. This lotion will make your skin feel hydrated and smooth and your nails will feel stronger and less brittle over time.

Scrubs -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Exfoliating Pads
rated 4 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 2:32:00 AM

These exfoliating pads are great for cleaning my face when I am unable to do my normal skin routine. They remove makeup and impurities, have little ridges for exfoliation and overall leave your face feeling fresh and clean. The hard packaging is great for travelling and taking them on the go when needed.

Moisturizers -The Body Shop - Seaweed mattifying moisture lotion SPF 15
rated 3 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 2:22:00 AM

I switched to using this product, which is recommended for combination/oily skin, after I found that the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion was too drying. While I enjoy the scent of this product, and the fact that it contains SPF, I'm not so sure it does a great job at "mattifying" my skin. After applying this lotion my face appears a bit oily in some spots, particularly my forehead, and as the day goes on this just worsens. I'm guessing it's the SPF which is giving my skin the oily feeling, since my skin feels similar to how it would feel while wearing sunscreen. Although it is recommended for combination/oily skin, I'm not so sure this product is the best for my skin.

Treatments -The Body Shop - tea tree oil
rated 5 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 2:07:00 AM

This product is a must have if you are acne-prone! I use this oil as a spot treatment before bed and I wake up with my blemish dried out and significantly reduced in size and redness. Yes, the smell can take a little bit of getting used to ..and yes it is drying (as it should be), but this certainly does not outweigh the benefits of this product. I just wish it came in a bigger size.

Treatments -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Night Lotion
rated 4 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 1:59:00 AM

I use this product at night as my moisturizer along with The Body Shop's Tea Tree Cleanser and Toner. It does a good job at moisturizing my skin and over time it has reduced the redness of my post-acne marks. I like the packaging of this product more than the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion, and the pump dispenses the perfect amount of lotion needed. The lotion spreads nicely, and a little goes a long way.

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Coconut Body Butter
rated 5 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 1:50:00 AM

This product is my go to body moisturizer. It hydrates dry skin and will make your skin feel nice and smooth. The scent is lovely and is perfect for the summer! At first glance this product may seem a bit pricy, but it lasts a while even when used on a daily basis.

Toners -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner
rated 4 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 1:42:00 AM

This product is great for reducing oil and will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean. As someone with sensitive skin and prone to breakouts, I did not find this product too harsh for my skin At first this product may burn/sting a bit, but over time you get used to it. This product is also great for removing any remaining cleanser, makeup, dirt etc. from the skin.

Cleansers -The Body Shop - Tea Tree Oil Face Wash
rated 4 of 5
SamW87 6/16/2012 1:29:00 AM

I love this product, along with the rest of The Body Shop's tea tree oil skin care line. This face wash removes makeup and dirt and leaves your face with a fresh clean feeling. I do find at times it can make my skin a bit dry after use, but as someone with oily skin this does not bother me as this shows me that the product is actually working. If used with the other products such as the toner, moisturizer and the tea tree oil itself you will see that over time breakouts will become less severe, the redness of the skin will reduce and existing blemishes will heal and disappear faster.
