ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED! :) Love love love this product. The smell is beautiful. Not too harsh. It does have an oily feeling but I enjoy that in a body butter. I have eczema and so far this hasn't irritated my sensitive skin. It has actually helped the eczema on my hands. Wish it wasn't so pricey:( ($36 dollars in Canada).

Polishes -Creative Nail Design - Shellac UV Polish System - 14-Day Wear
rated 5 of 5

First of all I just wanted to say after I got this done a few times at a salon I decided to buy my own products to save money in the long run. I absolutely love Shellac. It is easy to apply if done properly. It should NOT lift off your nails unless a) your nails are unhealthy and you have trouble in general with your nails. This will not be an appropriate fix. b) it was applied wrong. Process is easy enough. Personally I remove the shine off my nails and give them a quick buff ensuring all my cuticles have been pushed back and shape my nails. Moving onto the polish: base coat-cure, 2 coats of colour-cure and a top coat-cure. I cure mine each for 3 minutes.. others don't cure them as long so I might play around and short up my time. To remove them just soak your nails in acetone, takes about 5 mins and it just peels off. It's interesting, it almost sort of dries and just flakes off... Nails look fine once Shellac is off! I have just bought a few colours so far, Hot pop pink- bright and fun. Cocoa- beautiful camel colour, Asphalt- grey (not a huge fan but its a nice colour, will be interested in layering it. I also have Studio White, sadly I purchased Cream Puff but the bottle was open and the polish had leaked in the box and I didn't notice till I got home. Then I had to exchange it and there was only Studio White:(... It's much more translucent so it'll make french manicures a bit trickier but I will just have to experiment. Highly recommend Shellac!!

Scrubs -Burt's Bees - Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub
rated 4 of 5
whosthegirl 2/7/2012 2:09:00 PM

I`m a little conflicted with this product so far. It is a GREAT exfloliant but a bit too strong for me for everyday. I am currently using a cream one day and this every 2nd day. I love what it does to my skin though. It cleans and exfloliates but so far I just can`t use it every day which I would have liked to do. OK about the smell, it isn`t a fake peach smell but it does smell good! I`m thinking of also just using it as a body scrub instead of a every day scrub.

Love this! I love how it is minty and when air hits my face is a nice cool tingly feeling. It washes off all my make up without problems (with a wash cloth). I have sensitive skin but this hasn`t caused any problems. Love it, will DEFINITELY buy again.

Love this day cream. Provides enough but not too much moisture throughout the day for my dry skin. I definitely thought it made my skin more radiant and bright. Not a big fan of jars but thats fine.. it will do!

Moisturizers -Burt's Bees - Radiance SPF 15 Day Lotion
rated 3 of 5

I didn`t like it product at all really. I was sad because I love ALL my other BB products. This just didn`t give me enough moisture. That could have been my own fault though since I didn`t buy the Day Cream this time. If you need extra moisture go for a cream instead of the lotion. The lotion has spf which is nice.. more BB products should have spf! Didn`t hate it but I didn`t love it.

Moisturizers -Burt's Bees - Naturally Ageless Night Creme
rated 5 of 5
whosthegirl 2/7/2012 1:50:00 PM

So I`m going to write two reviews on here. Partly because I have tried 2 Night Creams from the Ageless line.. I`m a little confused why I can no longer find the Hydrating version in the stores anymore. I went to buy it again and actually bought the Skin Firming.. Hydrating Night Cream- LOVE it. I have dry skin and this is a thick cream. I definitely prefer creams over lotions, especially for evenings. Great smell. Very hydrating. Gives my skin a soft and moisturised feeling. Skim Firming Night Cream- When I first bought I was really disappointed because although it is a cream it is NOT thick. It just didn`t leave my skin feeling as soft and moisturised as the Hydrating one did.. However I bought the Peach exfoliating cleanser and now I I LOVE this night cream. I think it is the combination of using these two together. My skin is even softer than when I was using the Hydrating Night Cream. I am even noticing my skin is looking brighter and just nicer in general.

When I came to write a review I realized others had already commented on using this with Eczema flare ups and was surprised! I initially bought this because I get extremely dry skin around my eyes and this works fantastic. However I have been trying SO many things for my Eczema on my neck and this has done wonders..I was actually surprised partly because it has fragrance. Extremely happy with this product! Love the Ageless line!

Treatments (Eye) -Philosophy - eye believe - deep wrinkle peptide balm for eyes and upper lip
rated 3 of 5

I was looking on Sephora to find a product for my dry skin around my eyes. For some reason I thought this would be a good option. However when I got it in the mail I realized it was for wrinkles. I still use it as it makes around my eyes feel smooth and wonderful. It doesn't do much for dryness (obviously). It even feels good on my lips if I can't find a lip balm near by. I really don't see any difference around my eyes, which is to be expected. Nice product, just isn't what I am looking for.

Great product! Adds just the perfect amount of colour to my MAC NC 42 skin. Looks greatly especially in the summer, adds a beautiful glow! Definitely a fun coral color and not a bold orange. GREAT!

Treatments -Clairol - Natural Instincts Shine Happy clear shine treatment
rated 1 of 5
whosthegirl 1/30/2009 5:21:00 PM

DO NOT BUY!! I had black hair with about an inch of my natural root showing (dark brown), it lightened my natural hair color to a caramel blonde! I had called Clairol in advance to make sure that did not happen... yet they were wrong. The product is absolutely terrible however it did add shine to my hair. DO NOT BUY, go for a conditioning treatment to make hair shinier.
