Lush Ultimate Shine

Fantastic for travel

I used this bar while traveling in west Africa for six months and it lasted for almost the entire time I was there. Better still, it made my hair feel terrific, even without using conditioner - for it's price, it was a terrific buy. I not only loved how it made my hair feel, but also how it was natural and cruelty free. I would recommend getting the tin for the shampoo bars. I didn't have it and it was always a bit tricky when taking short trips and I would have to wrap it in the Lush wrapper and then in a plastic baggie.

Aveda Lip Shine

Pretty, but not a favourite

I bought this lip gloss after I wore it on my wedding day. While I loved the colour and its staying power, I really hated the smell and taste of the gloss.

MOP Lemongrass Lift

Miracle in a bottle

This stuff is AWESOME. Since I have naturally fine, flat hair, I've tried just about every volume promising product under the sun and this is it, this is the one I've been looking for. Smells lovely, is not tested on animals (a big plus for me), and comes in MOP's somewhat plain minimalist packaging, this Lemongrass Lift is worth it's weight in gold. I know that perhaps I am erring on the side of hyperbole in this review, but I really do love it. My hairdresser and friend recommended this product to me. They both suggested applying it liberally to the roots before blow drying. This left me with amazing volume that actually lasted for most of the day (usually my hair falls flat by the time I get to work). I'm not sure if it does much on the shine front, but the volume it gives me more than makes up for that. I've even found that I can add a bit to dry hair and blow dry for a quick touch up later in the day. It does live up to the claim of being lightweight. I hate it when my hair feels full of product, but that isn't a problem with the Lemongrass Lift. If pretty volumous hair, that doesn't feel product-y, is what your looking for, then look no further.
