I was absolutely delighted to test Yves Saint Laurent's new Parisienne Eau de Parfum Spray, regardless of the fact Kate Moss is the face of it. Parisienne is the "essence of a woman who is incredibly free—she is not from Paris, but Paris adopts her. She knows how to love, how to live. Parisienne is the fragrance of ultra-femininity and sensuality."Gotta love the slightly lilac fragrance encased in a thick gem-like bottle. It is described as a grand floral scent with a woody structure and notes of blackberry, damask rose and sandalwood. I love the way the blackberry mixes with the rose. It is a fast favorite. I do wish it lasted a little longer though. -1 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($39) -1.6 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($65) -3 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray ($85) face candy grade: A+ This sample was provided by Total Beauty. It did not affect my review.

I was pretty excited when Total Beauty sent this L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara ($9.49) for me to review. The Flexi-Globe Brush allows you to apply mascara from every angle. The mascara itself is creamy and lengthens and thickens at the same time. This reminded me of Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes Mascara, that's more than double the price of this one. I was impressed with this, I recommend starting at the outer corners and working your way in. After That I close my eyes and apply on the tops of my lashes too. I didn't have a problem with smudging, but I don't recommend using on the bottom lashes. face candy grade: A

The new Herbal Essences collection, Tousle Me Softly, was designed to work together to achieve a touchable tousled look from wet to set. The shampoo and conditioner provide a lightly conditioned base to set your style while the polymers hold hair in place. -Tousle Me Softly Shampoo and Conditioner ($2.99) - Cleans hair and removes styling product without stripping essential oils and moisture. First of all, I have to say that I do really enjoy the smell of these products. It's a mix of wild violet and pomegranate. Yum. I usually use Head & Shoulders (yes, I'm admitting it) frankly because I'm afraid that if I stop the dandruff will come back. I took that risk, solely for the sake of beauty research. I am happy to say that both the Shampoo and Conditioner work, but my hair was slightly more frizzy than it usually is. face candy grade: b+ -Tousle Me Softly Hair Spray ($2.99) - A lightweight, non-sticky hairspray that doesn't leave hair crunchy. The main thing I like is that this spray doesn't smell gross and alcohol-y like most traditional hairsprays. Maybe you need to really spray it on and all over your head for the desired hold, but I couldn't really notice any hold whatsoever. face candy grade: c -Tousle Me Softly Finishing Cream ($5.49) - A hair cream with styling and conditioning polymers. Apply to wet hair for for softness or dry hair to reduce frizz and fly-aways. The texture is kind of like... cold pudding. So don't be fooled into thinking that it's a pomade that will really mold and shape your hair. I do find that if I use the shampoo and conditioner, this step is more necessary, mostly to reduce the frizz. I'd like it if it provided more hold. face candy grade: c -Tousle Me Softly Mousse ($2.99) - A very light-hold weightless mousse. I have a short, pixie cut so this mousse didn't do a whole lot to my hair. It may work for someone with longer hair, to create volume, but after I put it in, I couldn't even tell it was there. face candy grade: d -Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel ($2.99) - A medium hold spray gel. This was my favorite product of the collection. I spray this gel through damp hair then pull out sections to get a piece-y look on my bangs. I mix a little bit of the Finishing Cream with Jonathan's Dirt and then pull more sections out. Once it dries, it's shinier and still has a "wet" look to it. Provides medium hold. face candy grade: a These are the prices that came with the press release. Looking online, prices seem to be more around the $5 mark.

I'll admit I was skeptical when the Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash and Beauty Bar arrived. At first I thought the sweet caramel smell was too strong. But when I got in the shower, it was nice. The burnt brown sugar and karite butter moisturize and exfoliate. Don't worry, it doesn't make you smell too sweet. I don't like that. I've been using the Body Wash in the morning, but the Bar is just as good. I never thought I would, but I encourage you to try it. Body Wash available in 18 oz. ($4.49) and 12 oz. ($3.50) bottles. Beauty Bars available in 2 bar ($2.99), 4 bar ($4.49), 6 bar ($6.49) and 8 bar ($7.99) face candy grade: B
