I've been using Nivea Reshaping Treatment for over a year. I use it for my cellulite baggy skin appearance, occurring in a few not-so-strategically placed spots on my body - and I can say with complete confidence that this product works, and works well - but ONLY if used daily (or even few times daily) on the problem areas! Otherwise - forget it. You gotta stick with the regimen - and you'll notice results within a month or less. It's not greasy at all and I love how quickly it absorbs into the skin. Great cellulite treatment from my all time favorite brand of creams - Nivea! They really know how to make a great cream! Always did - I remember I loved them as a child (some 20+ years ago when I played with mom's creams) and I love Nivea now!

I adore most of the scents in this collection of Bath & Body Works Body Creams....but Moonlight Path is something else! I adore that musky scent, with some violets mixed in....it reminds me of my childhood, first love under the starry sky, violets growing in window boxes.....I am a huge musk lover, but it's very hard to find just the right musk scent for me, they are either too strong or too bland, or mixed with something that doesn't go with it. What Bath & Body Works did in Moonlight Path Body Cream is absolutely what I have been searching for all of my life and ran into only once before (it was a Night Magic cream from Avon before, and now Moonlight Path - they gave me the PERFECTION in musk scent - not too strong, not too light, just right for me, and this cream seems to LOVE my skin! Added bonus is that it absorbes very easily, it's not oily at all - I love that fact! But oh...that musk....and the violets....dreamy!!!

I looooooove this lip gloss! I have (and have tried) many lip glosses over the years, you could say I'm a bit of a lip gloss junkie since I am not a big fan of lipsticks and tend to use neutral colors on my lips...so gloss in a neutral type color is perfect for me. That's exactly what I got from Bath & Body Works - Fresh Baked Cake lip gloss - and I absolutely LOVE IT! I've never tasted anything so great on my lips, and the shine is great! The taste is so good that half the time I'm licking my lips (ruining the point of lip gloss, but I can't help it), because I just want to eat this lip gloss!!!! It's THAT good!

I have had a pretty noticeable case of Rosacea (skin redness) on my face - mostly on the tops of my cheeks & on my nose a bit - but after taking a suggestion from Pure Beauty cosmetologist, I "splurged" on this product. She explained to me how because the color of the cream is green it will neutralize the redness visually (that's how our eyes work apparently) and it will also, over time, help my Rosacea & lessen it. All that she promised has proved true, and now this is my everyday staple cream! It takes very little, on top of your fingertips, to put on - concentrating on problem areas where you have most redness, and then smooth it on all over your face for the SPF benefits of this cream - all done! It was pricey for me, but well worth it since the much hated red spots are GONE! I've tried to make them go for a long time and with various products but Dermalogica Sheer Tint Redness Relief cream finally did it! Thanks Dermalogica!!! You're my heroes for creating this cream!!!

I like this product, but not overly. The reason is the wait of 2 minutes before you apply gloss (who has the time or memory for that....frankly, I often forget that I hadn't put on the gloss and I can feel my lips being VERY dry from just the lip color I'd put on, but forgot to add the gloss). Why couldn't the color also be a bit more moisturizing? I'm not impressed, but it's not all that bad - if you remember to wait 2 minutes, then apply the right amount of kinda sticky gloss (not overly, but still stickier than many I've tried before). My review is kinda so-so....I may or may not buy this in the future.....

Lush Massage Bars are good enough to eat (don't do it please!!). I use "Mange Too" as a moisturizer & scent when I don't feel like putting on a perfume, and I smell like chocolate all day long ("Nutts" will give similar results)! For sore muscles and more everyday use I go for "Each Peach (and Two's a Pear)" - yes, that's its full name, but there are no peaches in it. This massage bar was my first Lush massage bar and I was immediately impressed! It soothes sore muscles like nothing ever did for me, and it smells of citrus glade somewhere by the beach! For the night outings I put on some "Shimmy Shimmy" - a heart-shaped coconut butter massage bar full of moisture and pinky-gold sparkles. It literally makes the skin glow! Its also has a very supple scent of vanilla and sage. Sparkles & shimmies on the skin so beautifully, yet not too much as if you'd put on glitter. I am throughly impressed by all the Lush massage bars I've tried so far, and I'm hungry for more! If I could - I'd love to have a whole collection - but Lush is for savoring slowly & trying one gorgeous product at a time. It's truly a unique line of products that amazes me with each different and unique natural handmade product I try. Not cheap but well worth it....one of my massage bar has already lasted me over 3 months and there's still some left. Just be careful to store them in a cool dry place and never in the bathroom - most of Lush products are highly meltable in humid conditions. Straight 10 for all the luscious massage bars!! Try them - you won't regret it!

How can you NOT love a product which donates a 100% of the proceeds of sales (minus tax) directly to worthy causes!? I'd buy Lush Charity Pot - a beautiful albeit a bit greasy hand & body cream - perfect for the cold winter months when your hands get chapped in dry climates (think Colorado!). At first it took me a bit of time to get used to the fact that it takes a while for this cream to actually absorb, but after that is done - my hands have NEVER felt better (I haven't tried it on the body, because I actually need it most on my hands). Highly recommended - you get a gorgeous Lush product, plus all $20 that this cream costs you goes straight to charity! This cream is a bit on the expensive side, but after reading all the ingredients that went into it and from where, and considering the fact that every single Lush product, including Charity Pot is 100% hand made - I give this one a straight 10!!! All natural is never cheap, but it's almost always good, and good for you! "This luxurious hand and body lotion is made with fairly traded cocoa butter from projects in the Ivory Coast & Dominican Republic. It also contains a blend of geranium, tagetes and ylang ylang essential oils to heal and cleanse, and almond oil to leave skin soft and smooth. Charity Pot not only nourishes the skin, it leaves it smelling divine too."

Another great and unique Lush product - Baby Face Gently removes makeup and grime from your face. Best used for cleansing skin before bedtime, because it's a bit oily and you will not need moisturizer afterwards. Baby Face does wonders for dry sensitive skin!!! It comes in a convenient bar format and it will foam when you dampen your hands with water & apply this cleanser - but it will most effectively remove ALL make-up and any other stuff from your face. It not only removes makeup completely, but it also deep cleanses your face, for a fresh clean complexion every day! It's great at removing even the most stubborn eye make-up, and finally - just look at that Baby Face!!! It's adorable & creepy at the same time, but the effects of it and the purpose it serves in a most efficient manner, plus the fact that one bar last quite long if you keep it in a dry container between uses, make it the greatest skin cleanser/make-up remover I've ever seen!!! Go Lush! You've done it again!!!

My favorite Lush Body Butter is by far BUFFY THE BACKSIDE SLAYER! It exfoliates perfectly, leaving my skin gorgeously free of every dead cell imaginable...my whole body feels like it's undergone a special expensive treatment of some sort after using BUFFY! Second Lush Body Butter I love and use for less exfoliation but more to moisturize & keep my skin oh-so-soft and yummy, is Aqua Mirabilis! The scent is wonderful and the results just over-the-moon! I plan to try all Lush Body Butters, but I don't want to rush into it - Lush delectable bath/body/skin/hair products are all made for slowly savoring them! Also - because Lush uses awesome & often hard-to-get all natural ingredients & creates by hand all of their products - Lush divine stuff that you just want to eat like candy is NOT cheap at times, though it's worth the price in MANY instances because one product can last you much longer than any other brands'.....so savoring the Lush goodness slowly, trying products one at a time and getting samples when you're in the store to try out new products is a must for any serious Lushie!

I adore everything LUSH, and even though I use & love several Lush facial cleansers/toners - my absolute favorite facial cleanser from Lush which I'd highly recommend to anyone who has combination skin (oily in some spots, dry in others) is ANGELS ON BARE SKIN! This is an absolute must-have for anyone with problematic skin and the results will be seen after just a couple of uses...but if you continue using ANGELS ON BARE SKIN facial cleanser - you'll be hooked for life! Your complexion will evolve into one resembling that of a Hollywood actress or a model in their cover-of-a-magazine photo, your skin will thank you for feeding it the right product, and your will constantly get complemented on your beautiful complexion, even by complete strangers - who'll ask you what product you are using! ANGELS ON BARE SKIN gently cleanses and exfoliates with ground almonds, lavender oil and rose absolute. It smells divine and leaves your face bright, soft and smooth. It's ideal for normal to combination skins. For your morning routine follow it up with the BREATH OF FRESH AIR facial TONER and your face will thank you in heaps! BREATH OF FRESH AIR is a toner that does NOT dry out, but instead softens and revitalizes skin, re-hydrates dry skin with soothing, nutritious, rejuvenating ingredients such as real sea water, natural spring water, aloe vera gel, patchouli oil, rosemary oil and seaweed. It comes in a form of a spritz, usually used after cleansing to soften and balance, refresh and renew your complexion! My other favorite Lush facial cleansers are the funky black COALFACE cleanser (Men will love this one, though it's unisex. A completely black and extremely cool scented natural facial cleanser in solid form is such a rarity & pretty unique - definitely a must try product! But the thing with LUSH is that once you try it - you're hooked for life!), and I also like FRESH PHARMACY, a wonderful pink facial cleanser in solid form, which leaves your complexion just as fresh as if you've had a facial a moment ago! I highly recommend both, at least to try - because any Lush store will gladly provide you with samples of both at your request. That's how I discovered Coalface & Fresh Pharmacy and absolutely love what they do for my complexion (even my husband loves washing his face with Coalface cleanser, and he's not big on any type of cosmetic products at all).
