I don't typically like lemon scents because they can remind me of house cleaners. (lol) However I make a big exception for C.O. Bigelow's Lemon line. The scent is very light, and doesn't really smell like lemon to me - it just smells fresh. This body wash is great in the winter, when skin tends to be drier. It really does help moisturize your skin.

Philosophy Falling In...

See this at: sephora.com| Added on 12/19/07

This mild bath and shower gel gently cleanses away impurities as it conditions the skin (and hair), leaving it gleaming and softly scented with the alluring scent of Falling In Love. Perfect for a bedtime bubble bath.

Highlights: $22

Comments (1)

Smells amazing, great for layering the scent with the perfume. I also sometimes use it at night because the scent is soothing and relaxing.

Bliss Glamour Gloves

See this at: sephora.com| Added on 05/09/08

Glamour Gloves have a special polymer gel lining that force-feeds dry skin with essential softening agents like grape seed oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, and vitamin E, to keep your hands from getting ahead of you (in years, that is).

Highlights: $48

I just scored a pair of these at TJ Maxx today for $20!! Can't wait to try 'em out. :D

I use these about once a week, and I can see the difference. I don't use Bliss' hand gel you're supposed to use with this - I just slather on my L'Occitane lavender hand cream and it works just as well. My hands look great and feel sooo soft. :)

I keep a bottle of this in the kitchen - leaves your hands smelling fresh and clean after working with food, etc. I also keep a tube of the Lemon Hand Treatment next to it and use it right afterwards to keep my hands extra soft.

I keep this in the kitchen next to the matching hand wash. This does moisturize, but a warning: use a VERY small amount of it or it can leave your hands a bit greasy.

I personally prefer the Lavender cream compared with the regular kind, but they're both excellent choices. Plus this one smells like heaven and is organic. Downside is that it costs more, but I think it's well worth it. I always keep a small tube in my handbag.

Another WOW product. This is hands down the BEST mousse I have ever used. The first time I used it, I used a bit too much because after drying my hair I looked like I was straight out of an 80s hair band. LOL! So yeah, a little goes a long way. Very highly recommended for anyone whose hair could use a nice boost. :)

This was okay. It does lift and add texture, however the "lift" part only lasted 10-20 minutes. I won't buy this again.

I really love the shine this gives my hair, but it doesn't last very long on me for some weird reason. Yet I keep re-buying it because I love how my hair feels when I use it. I guess it's good to have for the heat & UVA/UVB protection factors. Doesn't weigh my fine hair down.

Oh this is great! I bought this in the "to go" size and keep it in my makeup bag. It's perfect for a little shine boost if you have to restyle your hair when you're out. Love it!

My mother got a small bottle of this in a Fekkai kit, and never used it so I stole it. I'm not sure how well it works on the fading front because I keep forgetting to use it, haha! It does leave my hair with lots of shine, but I get all the shine I need from other products I'm not sure this is useful to me at all.

Comments (1)

I never thought I'd pay $20+ for a can of hairspray, but after buying a smaller can (for $10) to try it out, I did. The hold is superior to any other spray (believe me, I've tried almost all of them), and no matter how many times you restyle/brush through it, no flakes! Oh, and no stiff feel, either. This is my HG hairspray. :D

This is very good for dry/frizzy hair. You only need a small amount and as promised, it will not weigh your hair down.

Highlights: $9-$59

The problem with most volumizing shampoos/conditioners is they tend to dry out hair. Alternately, most moisturizing stuff makes hair limp. When I saw this product in Sephora I bought it on impulse because it seemed to promise the best of both worlds. I must say, I really like it! I don't notice amazing volume, but there's a little difference, and it really delivers on the moisturizing. Maybe if you use it with the conditioner (which I haven't tried yet) the volume effect increases. Good stuff, though.

I did have one big problem with this shampoo: It tangles the living daylights out of my hair!! I did buy the conditioner hoping it might help the problem, but nope. I found a really great detangler that helps, but I'm still on the search for the ultimate shampoo.

AMAZING. I have only used this twice (as a leave-in conditioner; there are other way to use it) and already there is a marked difference in the condition of my hair. It looks healthier, and feels great. Also, my scalp problems? GONE. This is another one of those products that lives to all its hype. I could not recommend this treatment more.

Just like the shampoo, it smells lovely and does what it says, but it weighs down my hair.

This is a real winner. I use it every 3rd time I shampoo my hair, and it gets rid of any build up from my regular hair products, which perform better after I've "refreshed" my hair with this. Of all the Oscar Blandi products I've tried, this one is my favorite so far.

From the "We want to be M·A·C so bad it hurts" HIP collection. I was pretty disappointed. The color payoff was crap - I had to use twice as much to get the same effect M·A·C easily gives me. I guess it's a cheaper option, but I will not re-buy this.

This is a bitch to work with. It mostly just sits in my makeup drawer because no matter what brush I use, I end up making a mess when I try to blend this. I'm still searching for the perfect black shadow, because this isn't it. :(
