The first time I put this on, my lips were chapped and the burning was HORRIBLE! But I quickly learned my lesson and discovered what a great product this was. The pepper gives your lips a nice rosy color and it definitely does plump to some extent by causing more blood to flow to the capillaries. If you're expecting collagen injection-like results you'll be dissapointed, but what you do get is a natural looking full pout (depending on how plump your lips are to begin with). Just be careful if your lips are dry, chapped or peeling because it is rather painful. -

My boyfriend got a full-size bottle of this face wash as a freebie and while it is not one of my favorites, it is definitely an effective facial cleanser. It does control shine but I find that it doesn't keep my skin clear the way that an anti-acne wash would. It is VERY cost effective as it has a really rich lather and you only need a tiny bit to wash your entire face and neck area. My bottle has lasted me over a year now! -

I absolutely love the LUSH bubble bars and to me, this one smells like cotton candy! The amount of bubbles that it makes when you throw the whole thing in (as I am prone to doing) are just phenomenal. It just feels like the ultimate luxury when you're soaking and surrounded by bubbles. I also love how it makes my skin feel and the scent lasts for hours after the bath, which is great. -

I absolutely LOVE this product. I bought the Get Started Kit (Light) at Sephora, which includes:
- 2 BareMinerals SPF 15 Foundations (Fairly Light & Light)
- Mineral Veil
- BareMinerals Warmth All-Over Face Color
- Flawless Application Face Brush
- Full Coverage Kabuki Brush
- Max Coverage Concealer Brush
- BareVitamins Skin Rev-Er Upper
- How-To DVD
First off, this is an AMAZING value at $60 considering the brushes alone are worth more than that. Even though the BareMinerals are a smaller, trial size, it is a fantastic way to try out a new product. And since such a small amount is needed, they'll last forever! The coverage is wonderful. I apply the foundation with the kabuki brush for a fuller coverage and it doesn't look cakey at all and then I use the concealer brush to cover up my undereye circles. I was amazed to discover that even the Warmth All-Over Face Color was not too dark for my very pale skin but instead added a healthy glow. The Mineral Veil makes it look as if I have no lines and really shrinks my pores.
I don't know how I lived without this product.

This blush is fantastic in that it always looks very natural, like I have a touch of color but am not wearing makeup. As much as I love shimmer, I find that it can sometimes be a bit much and like something more understated. LORAC products are amazing. I find that it wears through the day without reapplication and never looks streaky.
If you have fair skin and are looking for a blush that looks natural and gives you that glow you've been looking for, then this is definitely it.

My boyfriend got this perfume for me and it is definitely a staple in my fragrance library. It is a very fresh and clean scent, great for everyday wear when you don't want something heavy or overpowering. It is definite must for the office!
I liked it so much that I got my boyfriend the version for men, which smells fantastic on him too!

I bought this over the summer and I adore it. It got to the point where I was applying it so often that my co-worker would comment on the scent! Like all LUSH products it is made from high-quality ingredients and I feel like it really moisturizes my lips. Unfortunately, my boyfriend is not a huge fan of the taste (it is VERY cinnamon-y, less apple-y) so I only keep it at work. -

I was given this product by a friend who is a hair and makeup stylist on Broadway, so I trust her hands-down with my beauty needs. Needless to say, she was right on about this product! It is a fantastic leave-in conditioner for when you've exposed your hair to too much heath or chemicals. Even my baby fine hair doesn't look greasy when I use it.
It can also be used as an all-over body moisturizer and my suggestion is to keep a bottle in the fridge during the summer. Nothing feels better than spritzing yourself with a chilled moisturizer that will leave your skin glowing!

This is a fantastic clarifying shampoo! The fresh, minty scent is great for a morning pick-me-up and it does its job well. I use it 1-2 a week to remove any product build-up from styling products or overconditioning and my hair looks marvelous for it.
I have color-treated hair and haven't noticed any fading as a result of using this product, but it would be something to watch out for.

This underwear is absolutely amazing. My friend's mother works in a lingerie store (major bonus for yours truly) and she was constantly giving me pairs of these. The low-cut ones are my favorites because I can wear them with even my lowest jeans and I have absolutely no problem. They are super, super, super comfortable. I never even remember that I'm wearing a thong!
I honestly believe that they are an essential piece of lingerie for any woman who wears thongs.
