While some rose scented perfumes remind me of older ladies, this one does not. Parisienne does not scream roses either... they are the primary scent in the perfurme, yet there is more to this with layers of sandalwood. The discription states that there are berries in this purfume, but I don't smell that on my skin. The rose scent also smells real and not fake like cheaper perfumes or home frangrences often do. I could see myself wearing this to one of my work events because it is not obtrusive, yet I would not wear it out on a date because it does not feel like a sexy scent to me.

This is another great smelling product from Lush!!! I would suggest not taking this whole product into the shower with you, but to cut off a small portion (1/6th) and use that for your whole body. This is not for those who want a gentle scrub, but for those who really want to get that dead skin off! It works great at buffing and removing those dead skin cells away. There is also some coconut oil to soften the skin, too, but this oil will cause acne, so I would not suggest using this on your face, chest, or any other area which you get breakouts.

I have brown hair, brown eyes, and a light olive skin tone. I bought these cheek stains recently in Blushing Bride and Berrylicious. The Blushing Bride is more of a gel consistency and the Berrylicious is more of a cream. Both apply very well, and there is time to properly spread the color before it sets. I first put on my prescription acne medication, my SPF, then this cheek stain, Bare Minerals foundation, and finally Mineral Powder. This is one of the only blushes that will last all day with mineral foundations and with a 12 hour work day!!! Both smell great, will last a long time, and were worth the purchase!

This Golden Noir is a new shade from Stila. It is a black base with specks of 24 carat gold. This results in a golden black brown look, and not a harsh black. These are small specks of gold, which are very subtle on your eyes, not a large chunky glitter. The application is easy with the right brush (I like the new set from Bare Minerals with the magnetic brush heads). It will last all day, and does not irritate the eyes.

This is a great product to try out if you are looking for a way to get those small eye lashes 1) on the bottom, 2) in the corner of you upper eyes, and 3) at the outer corner of your eyes. The small brush really enables you to get all of those lashes... and shows you what lashes you did not even know that you had! The color is very black and lasts all day, if you don't rub your eyes, but if you do, it will smear the color. It does wash off very easily with water and even when I got some in my eye, did not irritate them! I did find that this increased the length and volume of my lashes, but not the curl, and it was prone to clumping if you did not clean of the bottom of the brush. I think that the only thing I did not like about it was that it smelled funny, but then again, most mascaras do. With a few attempts at mastering this new brush you will enjoy it!

This is a wonderful green beauty product from Lush. It smells very nice, with a subtle almond scent. It absorbs well into your skin, yet is thick enough to keep your hands moisturized in the winter. (Some times it seems impossible to find a lotion with both!) I do think that it is a little expensive for the size of the jar though, and it is not the type of container I would want to toss in my purse.

I take baths every other day and this product is one of my favs! The scents are amazing, who doesn't love to pick out their own bar at the store, and the reduced packing is great for the environment! I have bout these "comforter" sized ones and then cut it up 3x3 which gives me 9 pieces. This is PLENTY for a whole bath!

My sister in law travels to Africa for research and she loves to take these shampoo bars! These can be brought onto planes with no problems, are great for the environment due to the reduced packaging. They all smell great and there are plenty of options for different hair types!

As far as the less expensive, drug store brands, this is one of the best conditioners ever! The smell is nice and sweet, a little like a tropical coconut drink, and makes your hair smell good all day! It takes out all of those tangles which I with long hair tend to get. Yet, I have fine hair, and this product did not weigh it down and make it look flat, so it is a perfect balance!

This hair product has all I need! 1) It is easy to use in the spray bottle so there is even distribution over all of your hair, 2) It smells great, a little like tropical roses, 3) it does what it says it will, my hair was a lot softer and manageable when I used this in the AM. Plus, it is a great price, which is VERY reasonable!
