Gels/Soaps -The Body Shop - Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel

Fantastic smell, and not drying to the skin, what more can you ask?! Have I mentioned the smell is great? :-) I wish it lingered on the skin longer, but then I suppose that's what the pink grapefruit body butter is for...The packaging is fine, nice and functional. The gel is a great pick me up for both am and pm - will repurchase over and over again!

Lips -Burt's Bees - Lip Shimmer - Coffee

I'm obviously in a minority here, but I love the color! My lips are too thin to get away with dark lipstick, so this is a great substitute. The color is really not that dark, IMHO. I'd describe it as a soft brick red, and it doesn't really have shimmer, as such, but that's another thing I like about it. Staying power isn't great (otherwise it would get a 5), and you can't twist it _back_into the tube (how silly is that!), But apart from that, this is fantastic, and I'll definitely repurchase when my tube runs out (soon now...)

Lip Treatments -Carmex - LipBalm

Love this! Love the cooling sensation, and it does moisturise my lips (not all lip bams do, actually). The little pot has the cutest packaging, and it lasts a very long time. It's cheap, it works, it looks nice (in a slighly industrial looking kind of way). That works for me...

Primer/ Corrector -Boots - 17 Colour Corrective Concealer

This is BAD! And I don't mean bad as in good. Balls up when you apply it, and when you somehow manage to spread it around enough to have a workable base, it shows no redness concealing qualities whatsoever. Cheap to buy, but who cares if it doesn't work?
