The Body Shop Blueberry Body Butter


This is one of body butters from the Body Shop. I got this as a gift a while back and I don't see it on their website so I'm thinking they no longer sell this one. It's unfortunate because it's very moisturizing and has a very nice and light berry scent. There is a thick consistency like the other body butters. I've also tried the coconut and the pink grapefruit one. Those 2 have a much stronger scent. The Body Shop offers a variety of different body butters so it's really up to you which one you want to choose.

American Beauty Softly Shaping Mascara



This is American Beauty's mascara in 03 midnight velvet. They also have black velvet and brown velvet. This is the perfect mascara for someone who is looking for a natural look and I mean really natural. It barely seems like I'm wearing mascara at all but it may be because this one is not the black velvet and I naturally have black lashes so the colour doesn't show well. I like how this mascara helps to separate my lashes and curls it without any clumps.

Here is the link to their website. American Beauty

Lancome Aqua Fusion Glossy Lip Balm SPF 8




I'm very disappointed in this product. I usually like Lancome products but this lip balm is pretty bad. Firstly, the name is aqua fusion and it says moisture. This lip balm is not very moisturizing at all. I sometimes even feel more dry after putting it on. Also, the glossiness is minimal. There's only a few little glitters. The only thing I like about it is the SPF, but you can find a more moisturizing lip balm with a SPF and then add a better gloss on top or try another lip gloss with SPF.

Neutrogena Clinical





A few ago I talked about Neutrogena having a try it free mail-in rebate for their new clinical line. I finally remembered to post the pictures but it's still unopened because I'm trying to get my mom to try it. From the Neutrogena post last month, I said it cost $45.99 before tax, that's almost $52 here in Ontario (tax is 13%). I hope this product works because it's quite expensive for a 14mL serum and a 14mL activating cream but I will do a post on the results once my mom has tried it.

Biotherm Skin-ergetic





Last month I had a post on receiving free samples of Biotherm's Skin-ergetic. Here are the samples I received a few days ago. It's a 1.5mL sample of non-stop anti-fatigue moisturizer (day cream gel) and a 1.5mL sample high-recovery moisturizer (night). I haven't had time to try them yet but I will post a review after I've used it.

Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask


Inside

This is a hair mask from Pantene that I use when my hair is feeling dry and dead. It won the Allure 2008 Best of Beauty Award for hair mask.

Positives
It makes my hair more soft and smooth.
The smell is awesome.

Negatives
The soft and smooth effect only lasts for the day and I don't see any long lasting effects.

It costs under $10 for 225mL which isn't too bad. Amazon.com sells it for about $5. I would probably choose a moisture hair treatment mask next time.

Product Details:
"dramtically quenches parched hair, leaving hair supple and restored while shielding it from damage"
Squeeze excess water from hair after shampooing. Apply liberally to hair. For deep conditioning, leave on hair for 5 minutes. Use once a week or more often if needed for deep conditioning.
