Ah Dove, you have captured my heart yet again~
I do use Dove Soap in my daily routine, so that's all I can really compare it to.
I found that yes, there is a bit of a noticeable difference in using the body wash compared to the soap.
And for people like me who just don't like to add extra steps to their routine (for example moisturizing afterwards!) I found that this helped to eliminate that step (at least for a decent amount of the day, though I wouldn't say that it is a perma solution).
I loved that it was thick, so I didn't need to use much (especially on the poof) to get great lathering.
And yes, you need a poof to use this to its fullest potential (at least I'm thankful that I was sent one with the product!)

Got this from the product review club.
I personally love Dark chocolate (makes you feel like you are making a better, healthier choice :P) but sometimes I can't stand too much of the bitterness. It might be because it has a much lesser concentration that what I usually eat, but it had just enough of that dark chocolate bitterness to make it great. The mousse melts wonderfully in your mouth, as does the rest of the chocolate. It isn't too pricey, and actually somewhat fun seeing as they have these 'steps' inside the cover on how to fully experience your first taste of the product. In my excitement, I didn't realize that the product is to be opened on its side, and has a tab that you pull to 'close' the package, though its really hard to once you start.

First off, I have oily lids, and so far the only thing that remotely works well is MUFE.
That said, I got this in a bonus pack with the Stiletto Mascara from Walmart.
I love that it doesn't need sharpening therefore not as much waste.
And it does apply quite smoothly, no tugging at my skin.
But I personally found that it didn't last very well on my lower lash line, my waterline, or my upper lid.
It seemed to smudge fairly easily as well.
I would say that this lasted me...3 hours MAX before the lower lash liner transferred all over the place (Though I would actually say that eve at 2 hours, it didn't look very good).

I've got very oily lids, and my eyes tend to get irritated easily, which leads to tearing.
I picked up MUFE Aqua eyes as part of my redemption from SDM.
The liner, though slightly faint, can still be seen on my waterline after 3 hours, somethng that hasn't happened after 30 mins with other liners. The underline of my eye lasted 6 hours with a bit of racooning...but nothing too serious. This is definitely worth it for me, seeing as a 3 hours touch up on the eyes is nothing, and if it can last 3 hours, touch ups are no problem for me!

I'm specifically writing about Pretty Polish.
First as the other posters commented on, the polish is REALLY streaky.
Second it is 10ml for $5.50 USD. I find that really expensive, because I used about 2-3 coats, and it seemed I used a LOT of product already. Doesn't feel like you can get many uses out of the bottle.
It is a very lovely non-shimmery colour, but for the price and the streakiness, it just isn't worth my time.
Though I used my ambassador code to get it...I think that I am better off using their makeup products instead.

I'm a huge fan of Shimmery Sparkley stuff, so I picked up a few of these.
I got all except the Banana one, and apricot one.
Though I think that they look pretty, they are VERY sheer as stated on the bottle.
They are jelly polishes, remaining sheer even with 3-5 coats (yes I went up to 5. Those babies took FOREVER to dry!) The only colour you can really wear alone with 3 coats, would probably only be the Cherry Fizz one, otherwise the others are better off used as a layer colour, to bring shimmer to a matte polish.

I came across these on several blogs, and jumped at the chance to buy them for myself. I bought mine at Pharma Plus when they were on sale for $1CND.
I'm not a pink polish person but I LOVED First Blush, and Cotton Candy. They were more on the sheer side at 1-2 coats, but looked gorgeous to me at 3 coats.
They held up to my everyday wear, (typing, writing, tapping...) and out wore most of the other polishes that I have from China Glaze, OPI, and Essie!
The only quirk I had with it, was that the darker colours EASILY stain your nails. So It might be a good idea to use a base coats for these, or at least a layer of nude polish before using the Sally (Plus doing so helps to bring out the colours more :) )
A definite rebuy in my books ^^

$10USD from the EDM website on its own, or if you get their kits, you can drop the price to just under $6USD.
Kabuki's are mainly used for your mineral foundation. They work the best with mineral foundation. They pick up an evenly distributed amount of the foundation to be lightly buffed into your face. The hairs are VERY soft, and are synthetic. Personally because they are synthetic, I find that they dry quite fast, though others say that it can take almost up to a full day. I have owned mine for over 6 months now, and have experienced no shedding, or any other problem.
If you are looking for a decent started brush, one that really lives up to its name, I would strongly recommend this brush. (If you need more coverage, I would then strongly recommend that you look into the flat top kabuki from EDM instead. That's another one of my favourites :P )

First off, if youre looking for a clump free mascara, this is one you should DEFINITELY look into. The brush is made in a way that the bristles take care of any clumping you might experience.
But that is one of its downfalls as well. Because of the way the bristles are arranged, I found that it didn't provide the length it advertised to produce.
There is also the small fact that it kinda smells quite strong (luckily once its on, you can't smell it).
I would buy this product again, despite the length, because of the fact that it saves me time from having to separate my lashes. I know some girls might like the spider lash look, but I'm not one of them. I find that it also coats evenly enough to give my eyes the pop that they need.
It also isn't too heavy, and preserves most of my initial curling.
I think that with a really good primer, this would be awesome :)

I love the Ultra Mentha Lip Shine. It is my ultimate go to lip product! It gives shine if I slap it on thick, or gives me a subtle shine if I pat it on and rub it in. In the worst case scenario, you've just eaten onions and don't have gum to diffuse the smell, this does come through in a pinch.
I'm glad that it is also now readily available in Canada, as before BBW opened up, I had to have it shipped to me from the states.
