Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes - Simmer
arianrhodseer 2/6/2005 3:07:00 PM
Great product. Not too overpowering fruity smell, perfect for a girl like me who needs a little bit of scent to her gloss. Nice slanted applicator and cute tube. I got it as a GWP, but the regular rice is reasonable for a quality lip gloss. The color is a milkyish pinky beigey peach. To get much color you have to layer it on a bit. It shows up with much more sparkles and pretty shimmer than in the tube. Nice understated, pretty gloss. Great shine. Not sure if I'd buy again, because there are so many other glosses out there I want to try, but I'll just say yes.

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop ~ Raspberry Ice
arianrhodseer 2/6/2005 3:01:00 PM
Had the great tingle and smooth texture of all JTPs. A little sticky, yes, but that's obvious. The price is reasonable for the amount of product. The color is beautiful, a hot pink with lots of gold sparkles that aren't as obvious on the lips as in the tube. However, the color isn't as obvious on the lips either. It barely shows up at all. Too sheer, without much of anything to spice it up, so not forgiven easily. It's an overall pretty nice product though, and every girl needs a very sheer, fun pink gloss, so four lippies.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Tinted Lipglass
arianrhodseer 1/15/2005 10:53:00 AM
These lipglosses are incredible! Great color selection, sweet vanilla scent, great staying power, shiny but not too shiny. As a girl who mostly owns Lancome Juicy Tubes and other sticky glosses, I don't think these are that bad at all. Yes, your hair will get stuck in them when the wind blows. But I for one dislike the feeling of thin, non-sticky glosses on my lips. There are colors for every skin tone and preference in this line, and they have a great price compared to other good-quality glosses. Excellent product!

Lotions/ Creams -L'Occitane - 100% Pure Shea Butter
arianrhodseer 1/2/2005 12:29:00 PM
I'm not quite sure if this is the same product everyone else is talking about, but mine is L'Occitane and it's a 10% shea butter, so I guess this is it. So here goes. The packaging is good, simple and functional. It's in a tube, so you don't dirty your fingers when you apply it. You get a good amount of product for the price, because the tube lasts a long time. I can't complain about the price, because my mom gave a gift pack of L'Occitane stuff to me that she got from Delta for flying first class oversea, or something like that, and this was in it. It's very moisturizing, and the texture is very slick, almost watery. It is a bit gritty, in a strange way. The scent is overpowering and baby-powderish, or something sunscreeny maybe? It's hard to tell, but it's strong and not too pleasant. It's very very shiny if you apply a lot, so I'd recommend this for night unless you like that look. Lasting power is adequate.

Lip Gloss -Bonne Bell - Liquid Lip Smackers (all)
arianrhodseer 12/13/2004 5:07:00 PM
Love the cute little tube, love the smooth way it goes on, love the nice shine. Perfect for low-maintenance days. Works great and is one of the glosses I reach for most when my lips are really chapped. I love scented glosses, and these are smell incredible--not fake or too cloying, just sweet and yummy!

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop - Iced Cranberry

Way, way, way too much glitter. Not pretty shimmer, but big, chunky, kindergarden project glitter. Not my style at all.

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop ~ Fruity Pop
arianrhodseer 12/9/2004 5:17:00 PM
Love the tube applicator, slight tingle, flavor, stickiness, etc. Looks like a shimmery sheer pink on my lips that gives a bit of sheen and multicolored glitter if applied lightly, and high shine, light pink color, and lots of glitter if applied more. Pretty either way!

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop - Frozen Punch
arianrhodseer 12/9/2004 5:12:00 PM
Tis okay. Like all JTPs, it has great stickiness, tingly feeling, strange but yummy minty bubblegum smell, cute tube applicator, and all that. A purpley/pink, almost metallic color on my lips. Not my favorite, it's so-so. Wouldn't buy again because there are so many other colors and glosses I want to try. Came in the Holiday 2004 set.

Lip Gloss -Lancome - Juicy Tubes Pop - Chai Freeze
arianrhodseer 12/9/2004 5:08:00 PM
Love Juicy Tubes Pop, but I was less than thrilled with this one. Like all JTPs, it had a great minty bubble gum taste, tingle that lasted for a couple minutes, wonderful stickiness (which I like), and good lasting power, but the color left something to be desired. It looked like a pretty pale nude in the tube, but went on clear unless I applied a LOT. When I did, my lips look strange and whitish and the color was uneven. No shimmer or anything to spice up this blahness. Luckily I got it with a couple more good JTs in the holiday set.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Super Lustrous Pearl Plum
arianrhodseer 12/6/2004 5:15:00 PM
LOVE LOVE LOVE this line! Great color, the sparkles are a little gritty though. Packaging is beautiful, good imitation of high end glosses. Wouldn't buy again merely because there are so many other glosses and colors out there that I want to try.

Lip Gloss -Perfumeria Gal - Fragranced lip balm
arianrhodseer 11/15/2004 4:51:00 PM
This is one of my favorite lip balms. I have it in peach and apple, and they smell incredible. It feels and works like Vaseline, but in the cutest containers ever. It is quite clear and doesn't have too much shine. Can be used under or over lipstick, or alone for a light moisturizing treatment. And I just can't get over the smell, especially the peach!

Scrubs -Bath and Body Works - The Sea Salt Body Scrubs
arianrhodseer 10/23/2004 5:07:00 PM
The jar is pretty bad packaging--It's impractical for the shower and my top chipped. The smell I have (mango mandarin) is very nice and lasts on my skin. It makes my shower smell nice after I use it, too. This is great for shaving because it exfoliates (makes for a closer shave) and the oily film left behind (ew) works as well as any shaving cream. The razor gets rid of the film too, which is also good. I only use this once every week or so, because you can only use it if you haven't shaved for a while. If you have shaved within the past three (or maybe four, I'm not sure) days, the salt burns your legs and it's really painful. Also make sure you don't use this if your legs are cut.

Gels/Soaps -Bath and Body Works - Mango Mandarin Shower Gel
arianrhodseer 10/23/2004 5:00:00 PM
Great smell, especially if you love citrus scents like me. The package I got also came with a salt scrub, lotion, and bubble bath all in the same scent. Leaves my bathroom smelling incredible for hours (especially if I use the salt scrub, which is the strongest smelling) and works pretty well.

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
arianrhodseer 10/23/2004 4:41:00 PM
This is great. I rub it into my skin (not wet) in the morning, which feels cool and soothing. I wipe it off with a towel because the bristly towel thread things get it all off, so I don't have a greasy residue left on my face like some of the reviewers have complained of. The rubbing of the towel leaves me red for about a minute, by I don't mind because all redness is completely gone by the end of breakfast. I wouldn't use it at night because it's very gentle--I like to use a harsher cleanser before bed. All in all it's a very good, non-irritating cleanser that feels nice and keeps my skin clean. Also, the bottle lasts forever.

Concealers -Paula Dorf - Camouflage-Sun/Earth
arianrhodseer 10/23/2004 11:09:00 AM
Like the pot, great that it came in two colors, good lasting power, but completely wrong colors for me. Too light, even the darker one, and both too yellowy. If you have very fair skin maybe these colors would work for you, but I don't think so for anyone else.
