The last time I was in Sephora, I received a couple of samples of this exfoliating mask. You apply the mask to clean skin, leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes and then rinse with warm water. My skin was definitely radiant after the first use and I was excited to use it again. That turned out to be a bad idea for my sensitive skin, which ended up turning red and drying out in the cheek area.
I am very happy with the results that I got, I just have to be careful about overusing it, especially during dry winter weather that leaves my skin more vulnerable than usual.

My boyfriend picked this up for me when I was feeling under the weather, as we are lucky/cursed enough to have a Kiehl's on the same block that we live on and he knows that nothing in the world will cheer me up more than a new product. It is absolutely wonderful, made with natural extracts of mango and grape seed, rose hips and apricot kernel. It smells and tastes amazing and when used consistently, it really helps my dry lips. One of the big pluses is that it is shiny without being sticky. The Pear Tree color is a great neutral color that can be worn anytime but I look forward to getting them all! -

This is a fantastic product that virtually eliminates razor burn, making it great for the bikini and underarm areas, as well as your legs. It is very effective so even though the small bottle is on the pricey side, a little goes a long way. The eucalyptus and grapefruit work as natural calming antiseptics for freshly shaved skin. Use along with Missha All About Eve Shaving Mousse and expect an amazing difference! -

While this may cost a bit more than your average drugstore shaving cream, it is definitely worth it. I have never had a closer, smoother shave than since I started using this. start off by using a good scrub (Missha Mint Foot Scrub or Bliss Hot Salt Scrub) to exfoliate, then I use this to shave and follow it up with Missha All About Eve After Shave Serum. My legs look and feel absolutely amazing! -
Perx Organix Lavender Blend Towelettes (30 Count)

I picked these up in preparation for an upcoming trip and my only problem is not using them all up before I even get on the plane! This is an all-natural product, with the only ingredients being purified water, lavender, chamomile and sage essential oils and tea tree oil. And they are gentle enough to use on your face. The scent is a little on the strong side, but I am a HUGE lavender fan so it doesn't bother me. The oils are known to have anti-bacterial properties so they help kill germs without the use of drying alcohol and the little canister is great to throw in your gym bag or keep at your desk at work.
The towelettes also come in individually wrapped packets to keep in your purse and they also come in a mint scent and a citrus scent, both of which I can't wait to try!

While this is overall a great product, I will never, every buy it again. The smell is absolutely disgusting! Yes, it leaves my face very soft but I can not get over the horrendous scent.
MISSHA does carry this in other scents, so perhaps I'll give one of those a try.

I was very sad to discover that my local Sephora was not carrying philosophy's Gingerbread Man scrub, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I decided to go slightly more high-end and treat myself to this AMAZING product. I've love all things Bliss and this is no exception. It is by far the best scrub that I have ever used. It is highly effective without being overly harsh -- though if you have very sensitive skin you may want to be careful. It is perfect during the winter to get rid of dry, flaky patches!!
While it is more expensive than other scrubs that I have used, I find that a little goes a long way and that it is definitely worth it!!

I'll admit that I definitely had a Starbucks problem for a while! Unfortunately, the habit got too expensive and now I just get it as a treat every now and then. There are plenty of low-cal options if you are concerned with such things, which I know I am. Some of my favorites are nonfat lattes (a great source of calcium) and their Cafe Americano with a splash of skim milk and Splenda. I do find their regular coffee to be quite bitter and a little too strong.
Their pastries are to die for! And some of the ones in my area (New York City) have begun offering breakfast sandwiches as well.

This has always been one of my favorites. Although it is definitely not uplifting, I feel like everyone can relate to some aspect of the author's life. Everyone at one point or another has felt like they don't fit in. (If you haven't, well, consider yourself very lucky!!) It is also a great cautionary tale of exactly how dangerous that lifestyle can be. -

I bought this perfume when I was having a really, really bad day! The sales woman sprayed some on me and I instantly felt sexy and beautiful again. I'd definitely recommend this as a night time perfume because it is a little heavy for every day wear but the scent lasts. It is a perfume that really makes you feel feminine and sexy and it will definitely become a classic. -
