Lush Dream Cream

Dream Cream makes your skin feel amazing

I would agree with other reviewers - the smell can be off putting if you don't like it. I happen to love it, though it is really hard to explain (go to a store and smell it before you buy it). A little goes a long way, I like to use it right out of a warm shower, with a little bit of dampness to teh skin because it is abit thick, the combination of steam and water really helps it soak in and thins it out a bit resulting in better coverage and cost efficiency. I love Lush products in general, they are natural, unique and it feels good when you walk into a store and get the feel for the brand (their online site is wonderful too!)

YonKa Phyto-Bain

Great for balancing your complexion and using in nightly facial regime

When my skin looked the best (and I had the time and money to spend on it), I was using a host of products, but not least by a long shot was Phyto Bain. I used a small capful in very warm water and tok the washcloth, soaked it in the solution (in a seperate bowl) and covered my face with it, steaming it while infusion it with Phyto Bain, I then would cleanse the face and with each rinse, I would steam the face with teh washcloth in the same way (always washing it out in the sink to kee the solution clean as possible). I would remover the cleanser in about 5-7 rinse cycles with the washcloth, each one lasted about 10-30 seconds. My skin looked amazing - smaller pores, beautiful tone and a gorgeous healthy rosiness. The bottle will last a good long time and also makes a wonderful bath soak as well - skin will be soft and again, have a rosy natural flush! After writing this review, I think I will have to go back to the old regime!

Bumble and bumble Super Rich Conditioner

Love it! Perfect amount of softness and weightlessness for thin, straight hair!

I love Super Rich Conditioner - I have fine, straight hair (lots of it) that is extremely sensitive and this works like a charm. Also, it smells unbelievable - like milk and honey. In the many years I have used this, I have had more than one boyfriend tell me how great my hair smells. This works really great with their Gentle Shampoo.

Philosophy Time on Your Hands Exfoliating Hand and Cuticle Cream

So great for girlies who like to get their hands dirty!!!

I love time on your hands - I have been using for at least 5 years. A big fan of most of the Philosophy line, this has to be one of my favorites. I prefer the tub to the tube (I generally biy sets like Here Comes the Bride or other to get multiple products). It might feel a little greasy going on at first but it really soaks into the skin and cuticles literally disappear. It doesn't have a strong aroma either which is great. My fiancee is totally hooked on it to!

Boots No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes

Great for lazy or late nights

I had originally bought the Quick Thinking Wipes for Gym visits and my middle of the day yoga classes, but I really ended up using them on nights when I was too tired or okay, too tipsy to really invest in my usual nightly routine. They work well in a pinch, larger sized means you only have to use one and they don't dry out in the package (problem with others). I would agree with other reviewers that they might not be as effective at removing makeup, but it really is a reat fix for late nights or times when you can't grab a shower at the gym or studio. Definetly worth the money!
