Exfoliates well, good for oily skin
I have oily skin and therefore was looking for a cleanser that I could use 2-3 times a week to really exfoliate and cleanse. Dark Angels is great for those with oily skin, as it seems to draw out the oils in your face without leaving your skin super dehydrated. My skin feels refreshed after using Dark Angels, and it seems to be helping with my spots. I was a little worried that the charcoal would be hard to get off, but it washes right off with warm water.
Smells lovely, exfoliates well, skin like silk!
This is a great product for exfoliation, especially if you have dry skin. It has a lovely smell of jasmine (very nice and summery), and exfoliates like magic. My skin feels like silk after I've used it! I generally exfoliate once or twice a week, so if I'm using Rub Rub Rub to exfoliate my whole body, it doesn't last more than about 3-4 weeks, which I guess is ok. I would buy this again, and would also recommend it to a friend!
Smells amazing, but a bit messy
LUSH's Stepping Stone has the absolute most amazing fragrance ever. Super citrusy and uplifting - perfect for after a long day's work to relax and unwind. I'm on my feet all day, so when I saw this product I just had to try it (I've also tried LUSH's Volcano Footmask, which is also great!). When you use Stepping Stone, you only need to break a little bit off and add a tiny bit of water to make it into a paste. Then you rub it into your feet (it's easier if you do one foot at a time). A lot of people make the mistake of using the entire thing like a pumice, to scrub their feet. This will just end in disappointment, because it will just fall apart and fizz away... The whole process can be a little messy, but if you use just a little and do one foot at a time, you won't make a huge mess (just make sure you're not using a light coloured towel!). Overall, Stepping Stone makes my feet super soft and smell wonderful, but I still have a little bit of rough skin on my heels (where I have it worst). But I just take a pumice to those rough bits and scrub away after I've used Stepping Stone, and it seems to help. I would definitely buy this again, and would definitely recommend it to a friend!
after shaving moisture
I use this on my legs after I shave, and let me tell you, my legs have never felt so soft and smooth. They have also never looked so fabulous! They look so healthy, my boyfriend keeps asking what I've changed to make my legs feel so great! I would buy this product 100x over, because it smells lovely, and does it's job fantastically. Buy this for smooth, shiny, sexy looking skin!
cute shine, good overall
This lipbalm is a great go-to when you're wanting your lips to have a little bit of oomph, but not too much. It's good enough that it can complete an every day (natural) makeup look, but you can also wear it if you're having a lazy day! It moisturizes well, doesn't have an over-powering smell, and looks cute. It won't work for all skin tones, but for mine it's just right!
thick, fabulous moisturizer
Funnily enough, I bought this to moisturize mainly my hands, arms, and feet. My boyfriend then got his sticky hands on it and now he uses it on his feet! Our skin is super soft, just like a baby's bottom. It also has a nice smell (not overpowering! which is great), but I wouldn't use it on your face if you have oily skin. It's quite greasy - don't get me wrong, it absorbs in a heartbeat and feels amazing - I just prefer to use light lotions with SPF on my face!
Great
Rimmel London's I Love Lasting Finish nail polish is really great - it goes on smoothly and it lasts for longer than most of my other polishes. I have this polish in 054 You're A Cracker (orange) and 045 Misty Jade (misty green) and LOVE them both. Definitely recommend getting this polish if you're looking for a lovely wide brush that makes it easy to apply, a super smooth solution that eliminates the stress of even nail colour, and a long lasting finish!
Fantastic
This shampoo makes my hair feel absolutely fabulous. I've gone from thin, light, brittle and dull hair to lovely bouncy hair with volume! Curls and waves now hold, and my hair shines like never before. If you're looking for a shampoo that will give volume and shine, this is most definitely the shampoo for you.
Love love love!
I have never been more pleased with a purchase than I was with this makeup remover. It takes my makeup off amazingly. I don't have to put loads of it on the cotton pad either (which is great because it lasts for ages), and I don't have to rub like crazy, hurting the fragile skin around my eyes, trying to get my waterproof makeup off. It really does take your makeup off gently!
