Scrubs -Palmers - Cocoa Butter Formula Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub
filthyhotmess 3/17/2012 12:38:00 AM
LOVE this scrub! I'm pretty impressed with all the Palmers face products i've tried so far. The tiny cocoa bean particle things exfoliate gently and leave my skin feeling so soft and smooth. My make-up just glides on after using it. It makes me look more glowy and awake. Definitely a good one to use if your skin is looking dull and tired. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and it hasn't broken me out at all. It also doesn't make my skin all dry and tight afterwards like a lot of scrubs do. The only downside is what some of the other reviewers have mentioned. It is soooo hard to get out of the tube! I've found holding it under hot water for a little bit helps though. Mine also doesn't come out in a liquidy form, it's more of an almost solid worm shape (? lol). At least it stops it from going down the drain when i'm using both hands to squeeze it out. But as that's the only con i'll definitely be repurchasing!

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Britney Spears In Control
filthyhotmess 12/8/2011 8:33:00 PM
This is one of my fave Britney perfumes. I've only just recently rediscovered it after the atomizer permanently stopped working in my bottle and i finally decided to buy one of those little refillable bottles and transfer some of it. SOO glad i did it! I forgot how much i love it. It smells like vanilla and creme brulee with a bit of sexy musk thrown in. It's quite similar to Fantasy but is definitely a more grown up version and isn't as sweet. Staying power is terrible but having the mini bottle is handy because i just throw it in my bag and touch up throughout the day. If you're going to buy it i recommend NOT getting the one with the pink thing you pump. It looks pretty but it gets blocked up so easily and stops working completely (it also happened to my bottle of Curious).

Moisturizers -Neutrogena - Oil Free Moisture - SPF 15
filthyhotmess 12/6/2011 10:37:00 PM
This broke me out :( Such a shame because i usually have good luck with Neutrogena products and i quite liked the consistency of this moisturiser. My skin just doesn't seem to like most products that contain SPF. I'm trying to finish the bottle by using it on my hands and neck but i won't be repurchasing again.

Fragrances -Vera Wang - Princess
filthyhotmess 11/26/2011 7:46:00 PM
I loooove Princess! I finally gave in and bought a 100ml bottle for $60AUD on sale. Obviously everyones body chemistry is different but on me it starts out slightly woody but then develops into a nice light floral with a decent hint of vanilla and chocolate. Very flirty and sweet but also warm and comforting. Kind of like hot chocolate with marshmallows! I don't find it too strong or overpowering at all, i have Vivienne Westwood's Naughty Alice which i find to be a lot stronger than Princess. It's a fun young scent, perfect for anyone who's young at heart (definitely not just teenagers!! i'm 25). The bottle is stunning too, but kinda wishing i got a smaller size because i don't know how i'm going to carry this massive thing around! haha

Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Palmolive Naturals Creme bath in Milk & Honey
filthyhotmess 11/26/2011 5:01:00 AM
This is the only shower wash i've ever consistently bought. It smells just like milk and honey, sweet but not overpowering. It doesn't dry my skin out and leaves it really soft. Makes a great bubble bath too! After using it for like 5 years though i'm over the smell and will be buying something different next time! I'm sure i'll repurchase again one day though.

Fragrances -Escada - moon sparkle
filthyhotmess 11/24/2011 9:55:00 PM
This is one of my favourite limited edition Escada perfumes. All the others are more tropical/citrusy whereas this one smells like berries, especially raspberries, so it's a nice change. I think the bottle matches the scent perfectly. I love it! I wear it day and night, whenever i feel like spraying it on really. It's light and fresh for day but is still interesting enough to wear at night. Staying power is the same as the other LE perfumes, it won't last all day but whatever, a lot of perfumes don't. If i can still find it when it runs out i'll most likely repurchase. I don't have any other perfumes like it and haven't found anything else similar yet!

Self Tanners -Palmers - Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturizer
filthyhotmess 11/20/2011 12:51:00 AM
I LOVE this fake tan. I'm pretty pale (especially because i'm just coming out of winter) and just one coat of this gives me a nice natural healthy-looking bronze glow. My friends couldn't believe it was fake when i told them. It also develops really fast. I exfoliate, moisturise then apply the tan before i go to bed and the next morning you can already see it. I've tried Johnsons and Nivea and neither of these worked this fast. The consistency is really good and you don't have to wait forever for it to dry before getting dressed. I've had no streaking at all, just make sure you rub it in really well before it soaks in too much. It does have that fake tan smell but it's not as strong as other gradual/normal tanners. I think the cocoa butter helps it a bit. Amazing product and very affordable. I'll def be repurchasing when my bottle runs out!

Fragrances -Vivienne Westwood - Naughty Alice
filthyhotmess 11/9/2011 4:37:00 AM
I love this perfume. I'm really bad at describing notes and stuff but most of the previous reviewers have done it justice. Staying power is amazing, it lasts all day on me with just one or two sprays. I think the name suits it. To me it's a more subtle unexpected naughty. Like 'I might seem sweet and innocent but come a little closer and i'll show you what i'm REALLY like'. :)

Conditioner -Clairol - Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner
filthyhotmess 11/9/2011 1:10:00 AM
The bottle is pretty and the conditioner makes my hair smell amazing, so amazing i'd almost consider buying it again just for the smell, but i just don't think i can do it. It did nothing for my dry, damaged overly-GHD'd hair. I don't expect miracles but i expected SOME moisturisation in a conditioner called Hello Hydration.. even just a little bit!! But there was none :( Oh well. I'll finish the bottle just so i can smell nice but won't repurchase.

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Extra Gentle Cleanser
filthyhotmess 11/9/2011 12:47:00 AM
I've been using this cleanser for about 2 years and i'm a huge fan. It's really gentle and doesn't dry my skin out. I have combo skin so finding something that doesn't leave my skin too oily or too dry is hard but this does the job. I use it every night before bed (i use a gentle scrub in the morning) and don't have to use any moisturiser afterwards which is a plus for me as i don't like going to sleep with too many products on my face. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, but not 'squeaky clean'. It does a pretty good job of removing dirt and light makeup however i have to use a makeup wipe if i'm wearing heavier foundation, etc because the cleanser doesn't get it all off. This doesn't bother me but i guess it could be annoying for someone wanting a multi-tasking product. I pay around $13AUD for it and the pump bottle is great.

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Skin Firming Lotion
filthyhotmess 10/23/2011 2:00:00 AM
I finished off a full bottle of this after using it everyday and just repurchased another. I can't say if this alone helps with firming the skin because i dry body brush and exercise but it's a good basic body lotion. Absorbs quite quickly, moisturises well (might not be moisturising enough for super dry skin though) and the smell doesn't offend me. I'll repurchase if it's on special. Pump bottle is good!!

Lotions/ Creams -Nivea - Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme
filthyhotmess 10/23/2011 1:48:00 AM
I've been using this forever, maybe since high school (25 now!) but stopped for awhile in between when i got lazy with skincare. I've experimented with other moisturisers but always come back to this one. It's just so simple and effective. I have combo skin so i tend to use more on dry sections and just lightly pat a small amount onto the oilier parts. It absorbs quickly, moisturises well and has never broken me out (obviously everyone has different skin though). Price is good and i like that they an option of a tube or a tub. I always buy the tube so i can throw it in my bag and use it on my hands.

Fragrances -Burberry - Brit Sheer
filthyhotmess 10/23/2011 1:08:00 AM
Perfect everyday daytime scent, especially for hot days when you don't want something too heavy. It's very fresh and clean and i mainly get grapefruit from it. The bottle is really cute too. Will most likely repurchase when my massive bottle eventually runs out.

Fragrances -Ralph Lauren - Ralph Wild
filthyhotmess 10/23/2011 1:04:00 AM
I actually quite like this perfume. I bought it while on holiday in Vegas so the smell always reminds me of that trip. It smells kind of sickening in the bottle so you def need to try it on your skin beforehand. The main note i get from it is strawberry which dries down to a lighter muskier fruity scent. Definitely a summer perfume! I can usually still smell it on myself after about 5 hours. I think the bottle matches the scent pretty well. I probably wouldn't repurchase it again just because i have other similar fruity perfumes that i like more.
