Seriously - why does everyone rave about this? It's nothing more than coconut oil and synthetic perfume. To me this smells like cloying jasmine and does exactly what a 3 quid pot of coconut oil would do. Emperor's new clothes product for me. :o(

Got this free with Glamour Magazine yesterday. Thought it was going to be horrible (hot pink is not my colour) but it's sheer and lovely. Sticky as hell though, my hair won't stay out of it.

Cleansers -Origins - Checks and Balances

They're not kidding when they say a little goes a long way! You only need to squeeze about half a cm out of the tube to make up copious lather to cleanse your face. And the tube is huge. I'm using this alternately with Liz Earl's cream cleanser since I noticed Liz was giving me some blackheads on my chin. Seems to work. Creamy and moisrusing one night, squeaky clean and grease-free the next. Checks smells like chemicals to me tho.

I tried this as a free sample I got in a magazine. I don't understand why some reviewers are saying it has sparkle and some say it doesn't. The one I tried had crap sparkle in it - like glitter. Otherwise the colour consistancy etc would be just perfect. What's the deal tho? Is there a kind I can get without the glitter?

Treatments -SKII - Facial Treatment Essence

I got this product as a freebie (I work for a magazine) and I thought "Whoopie - this bottle is ginormous it'll last for ages and it'll do the job when my Bliss Sleeping Peel runs out". Can't figure out what it's supposed to do but my skin wasn't crazy about it. Made me a bit spotty I think (Got an oily T-zone and a coupla crow's feet on my 34-year-old skin). I now use it on my neck and chest and rub the excess on my hands, doesn't make any sort of difference there either. What is this product for??
