This lotion is definitely worth every last penny. Luxurious in more ways than one, the consistency is thick enough to be effective but not so thick that you can't spread it. The selling point, for me, is the Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Oil in the product. Your skin will look better after using it. I wash my hands often throughout the day with anti-bac soap and I can wash them about four times before having to put more lotion on. Feels great on the skin and is a good alternative for anyone that finds body butters or Nivea too thick, but want a lotion with more substance than the average Vaseline moisturizer.
It goes well with the pure Rosa Mosqueta oil I mentioned earlier. I can go on and on about that oil but it will wait for another review.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 55
Amazing! Finally a sunscreen that is truthfully non-greasy. It's not heavy on the skin and only has the slightest of scents. Good to use year-round and even moisturizes pretty well.

I wish there were a recommendation level in between "You Betcha!" and "Fugheddaboutit!". I dunno, something like..."Ya, but..." because I'd use that one for this butter. I used to work for The Body Shop and so I remember how this butter used to be before it was reformulated. They were much more distinctive in texture but then TBS decided to put Shea Butter in every dang butter. So I'm a bit biased against the newer Coconut BB, but...it does the job. It is very coconut-y so if you don't like the smell, avoid it. There is actual coconut oil in it. If it's too thick microwave it for about 30 seconds to loosen it up (feels divine in the winter after you come in from freezing your butt off!). Or if you still have a separate hard drive for your computer, like I do, put the butter on top for about 20 minutes (when the computer is on) and it'll warm up. -

The quality is definitely justified by the price. I love using this one in the winter and I find that it adds a nice warmth to the perfumes I usually wear. It is especially great for dry elbows and feet. I like this butter for the summer too for my feet: I scrub the dryness off, slather on the butter, put on cotton socks for about an hour and my tootsies are set for about three weeks. I wouldn't use this butter or any other on the face and if you have extremely dry hands a little goes a long way. -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara
Meh. I was so underwhelmed by this mascara. I heard all the hype and couldn't wait to try it but then...meh. It works great on my maman as she has very sparse lashes and so it actually does the trick on her. But moi? Nope. Not at all. Maybelline has... +
Meh. I was so underwhelmed by this mascara. I heard all the hype and couldn't wait to try it but then...meh. It works great on my maman as she has very sparse lashes and so it actually does the trick on her. But moi? Nope. Not at all. Maybelline has other, better mascaras like Volume Express, which I love. -
UGG Boots
Oh dear! You gals are hilarious! I actually tried on these...things and while they are comfortable they are indeed Uggly on the feet. Honestly! I looked like that little girl on the "Frosty the Snowman" Christmas cartoon with the bloody large feet... +
Oh dear! You gals are hilarious! I actually tried on these...things and while they are comfortable they are indeed Uggly on the feet. Honestly! I looked like that little girl on the "Frosty the Snowman" Christmas cartoon with the bloody large feet. Only, you know, less blonde. I ended up getting some nice, functional, comfortable (and less insulting to the eye, body and soul) boots from Land's End for winter. But I just don't get the appeal of these things, and in Hollywood of all places where the most snow they get is plastic and on a movie set. Ick. -

This conditioner is AMAZING! I use it once a week faithfully. I use a curl remover in my hair (that actually straightened my hair) and with any chemical service the hair gets damaged. The Neutrogena makes my hair healthy and shiny without weighing it down. Seriously, I always feel like I'm in a commercial after using this product. I totally recommend this for anyone with dry hair or hair damaged from relaxers, perms or hair coloring. And when you have it on your hair, cover it with a plastic shower cap. That's an old-school technique and it works. And I love the smell! -
Lancôme Paris Juicy Tubes
This gloss is long-wearing and the tube lasts a long time. For those of you who like the Juicy tubes but don't like the price, wait for a Lancome GWP, they almost always give a trial size. That's how I've gotten mine. Two of the three I have I have... +
This gloss is long-wearing and the tube lasts a long time. For those of you who like the Juicy tubes but don't like the price, wait for a Lancome GWP, they almost always give a trial size. That's how I've gotten mine. Two of the three I have I have had for about three years and I haven't put a dent in them. I use them a lot but a little goes a very long way with the Juicy Tubes. The only time I had to reapply was after eating and drinking after two meals. -
Bourjois Paris Coup de Theatre False Lash Illusion Duo Mascara

I did not like this mascara at all. I had to use way too many coats, in my opinion, to get the 'false eyelash' look it boasts in the claim. Very disappointing for me because I adore Bourjois mascara (their Volume Glamour is my BFF). Nonetheless I keep it around for when the mascara fount runneth dry and my wallet is "lacking in spirit". -

I absolutely love this mascara. The most common compliment I get on my lashes with any mascara I use is "Those are YOUR lashes?!?!" I use this mascara when I'm running short on time and cannot do multiple coats of another formula. With Volume Shocking, after using the primer, only use one coat on each eye. After applying on one eye use the (now empty) applicator comb to remove any clumps you may have or to straighten out any rebellious lashes. Then do the same to your other eye. It packs a punch and since L'Oreal Paris owns Lancome, you'll love this mascara if you like Lancome's pricer Fatale. -
