I received my Feminine Charms Keep Me Soft Body Butter in my Sweet Delight box. An 8oz container sells for $40 on there web site and as far as I can tell the shipping is free in Canada, but I can’t say if that’s the case for every country. They also make and sell body scrubs, hand treatment, bath, body and massage oil, moisturizing bar soap and soy wax candles. My body butter came in their Midnight Garden scent, but it’s also available in Fields of Lavender, Enchanting Jasmine, Honey Bee Vanilla, Bewitching Lilac, Gilded Honeysuckle and Her Majesty’s Garden scents. They all sound wonderful, but I’m enjoying the one I received. Their body butter’s are made up of shea butter, cornstarch, coconut oil, vitamin E and fragrances. The combination of all of these great ingredients combines to bring you an amazing moisturizer that can be used all over your body. It’s very thick but a little goes a very long way. I found the Midnight Gardens fragrance to be a bit strong at first, but I have grown to love it. The best thing I’ve found with this body butter is how long it lasts on your skin. I can put a small amount on my hands arms and elbows before bed and I still feel soft the next night. It gave my hand a much younger and healthier look and feel. As far as I’m concerned it’s the best body moisturizer I have ever used on my hand, arms and elbows!! If you don’t mind the price then I’d definitely recommend you give anyone of Feminine Charms Keep Me Soft Body Butter’s a try. -

I received my Ola Island Tuberose cane sugar body polish in my Sweet Delight box, but it’s also available in scents such as Coconut Lemongrass, Passion Fruit, unscented and more. You can buy an 8oz container from their web site for $24 plus shipping. The Ola Hawaiian natural cane sugar body polish provides you with gentle and effective body exfoliation that leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean, renewed and lightly scented. The Ola Hawaiian Body Sugar is made up of pure Hawaiian cane sugar to gently exfoliate and nourish your skin. Organic Hawaiian honey to help cleanse condition and purify your skin, island flower extracts to help sooth and an infusion of healing plant extracts and many other tropical ingredients. The Ola Island Tuberose body polish that I received has a nice light scent and does a wonderful job exfoliating my skin. I get very dry legs after I shave and it gets even worse once it starts to get cold and the heat is put on. So I’m really enjoying my Ola Island Tuberose cane sugar body polish. I just wish it didn’t cost quit as much as it does. I’m afraid the shipping cost all the way to Canada from Hawaii wouldn’t make it worth the price, other wise I most definitely would be buy more of it. -

The Olay Regenerist Fill & Seal Wrinkle Treatment is made to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by filling in creases and seal them at the surface. I was lucky and found it on sale for only $12 at Zerller’s when they were closing the store. It usually sells for around $33.99, or more! You have to apply a thin light layer after your moisturizer has completely dried, or it won’t work right. It does take some practice, but once you get the hang of it it really works well. After applying you just dab it in, you don’t rub it in. It dries to a powdery consistency and then you just have to apply your foundation and the rest of your makeup. It fills in your light small wrinkles really well, but I really don’t think it would work as well on deep wrinkles. Now that I’ve had some practice using it I love it and wish I would have bought some a long time ago. It really gives you a younger look. Also if you do over apply the filler it will start to come off, so you have to be careful when you use it, or it won’t look natural. I real like the Olay Regenerist Fill & Seal Wrinkle Treatment and if you have a few wrinkles that you’d like to hide then I’m sure you will like it too. -

I received my Sister’s Keeper Dip Hair and Body Moisturizer sample in my Sweet Delight box for free, but you can buy it from their web site. It’s available in 2,4 and 8oz container and sales for $5 to $18 depend on the size that you buy. It’s also available in scents such as passion fruit, cherry, caramel delight, cucumber melon, unscented and more. I can’t say how well it works as a body moisturizer because I only had enough to try it on my hair. This dip is enhanced with essential herbs that help to moisturize and penetrate your hair and body. The really nice thing is that anyone can use this hair and body dip no matter what ethnicity or age you are. It’s suitable for all hair and skin types. This deep conditioner is like no others you may have tried. You apply this dip before you do any thing else. Just apply to the ends of your hair and up the length of it, but not all the way to your scalp. Then just pile it on top of your head and sit back for at least ten minutes. Then rinse it out and shampoo and condition your hair like always. You won’t believe the difference in your hair!! My hair hasn’t bin this soft since I was a little girl! It’s the best deep conditioner I have ever used and I’ve tried a lot over the years! I normally wash my hair every other day and thought once I rewashed my hair with out using this dip the soft feeling would be gone. Not so, my hair still feels nice and soft and I love it. Unfortunately the shipping cost is crazy! Even with a discount they wanted $14.50 for shipping a $5 product. So I won’t be buying more and I’m pretty sad about that. If I ever find it for sale in Canada I’ll definitely be buying more. If you live in the U.S. ,or don’t mind the shipping cost, then you have to order some of the Sister’s Keeper Dip Hair and Body Moisturizer. I just know you’ll love it as much as I do!! -

Cover Girl’s Brow & Eyemakers help you to create beautiful eye brows by helping you to enhance and fill in your brows giving them a more full and natural look. Whether you’ve over plucked your brows, your brows are to light, or they just seem to fade away on your face like mine tend to do. Then you’ll love what Cover Girl’s Brow and Eyemakers you can do to your brows. They give them a little boost making them more visible and beautiful at the same time. These brow and eyemakers come in a set of two, come in several shades and you get a sharpener along with them. You can use one on your brows and the other as a liner for along your lash line to give your eye’s a soft-line. I can remember my mom using the very same brow liner when I was a kid, but had forgotten all about it until I saw these the other day. My brows look fine by my nose, but seem to fade away to nothing, making them look to short. Its not from over plucking, it's just the way they’ve always bin. The Cover Girl Brow & Eyemakers help me bring my brows back to life. Small little strokes with this brow pencil all along your brows not only creates a more fuller look, but also helps you to fill in the places where you should have brows and may not have them. It gives your look a more finish and groomed look. -

I used to go back and forth from a pencil liner to a liquid liner, but had been using a pencil for the last few years. About a month ago I decided to go back to a liquid liner and settled on the Cover Girl Line Blast 24 Hour eye liner. I’ve always used a black liner and that’s witch color I stayed with. Its call Enduring black, but this liquid liner is also available in Eternal Brown for those of you that prefer a brown shade over the black. A lot of liners tell us they last for a long time, so I wasn’t so sure I was buying that this one could last for 24 hours like they say it can. So I was pleasantly surprised when it did last from the time I put it on in the morning until I took it off at night. Since I’ve been using it I’ve never had it smudged, or chipped away. When it came to applying this liquid liner it did take me some time to get use to doing it again, but once I got the hang of it again it was like riding a bike. The tip on this liner lets you get nice precise lines along the top, or your bottom lashes. The tip also makes it easy to either get a nice fine line, or be more dramatic and go for a nice bold line. The applicator tube is a lot smaller then I thought it was going to be and can be a little tricky to hold onto, but like I said once you get the hang of using it, it goes on like a dream and stay’s on all day and night long. One other thing that’s nice about this liquid liner is that it’s supposed to be fine for people that have sensitive eyes, so anyone should be able to use it. I’m very pleased with Cover Girl’s Line Blast 24 Hour Eye Liner and would recommend it and would buy it again. -

About a year, or so ago my teeth started becoming sensitive to hot and cold things. Sometimes even just lukewarm water would send a shooting pain through some of my teeth. My Dentist recommended that I try Sensodyne Rapid Relief tooth paste. I’ve been using it for a long time now, but I find the relief just doesn’t last long enough. I never knew when I was going to get hit by that awful zing of pain. A few weeks ago I spotted the Arm & Hammer Pro Sensitive Effective Relief Multi Protection Gel Tooth Paste with Orajel and decided to give it a try thinking it can’t be any worse then the stuff I’m using now. This tooth paste is from the maker’s of Orajel witch gave me a good feeling about it before I even tried it. It’s a low abrasion formula so it’s gentler on your teeth’s enamel. Their web site says that because it’s formulated with 5% potassium nitrate this helps to reduce the pain of sensitivity from cold, heat acids and from contact with sweets. I don’t believe that the Sensodyne tooth paste even mentions that it can help protect you from acids, or from sweets. I love my sweets so this was another big selling point for me. It’s also a low abrasion formula making it 40% gentler and the baking soda that’s in it helps to remove plaque and surface stains. As for fluoride cavity protection it also has this in it witch we all know our teeth need. They say that with regular use it can help to strengthen your enamel while helping to freshen your breath, whiten your teeth and most of all protect them from cold heat, acid and from Sweets. I was very surprised at how well this Arm & Hammer Pro Sensitive Effective Relief Multi-Protection Gel Tooth Paste with Orajel really worked for me. After just one once I could feel the difference in my teeth. Best of all this difference lasted through out the day. I haven’t had one unwanted painful surprise since I started using this tooth paste. As long as you at least brush your teeth twice a day you should find you have the same great results that I have had. I’m going to continue using Arm & Hammer Pro Sensitive Effective Relief Multi-Protection Gel Tooth Paste with Orajel and if you, or your child that is over twelve years old is experiencing sensitivity to your teeth, whether it be from hot, cold, acid, or from sweets then I’d recommend that you give it a try too. -

I received my Befine Warming Clay Mask for free in my last months GlossyBox. It’s available on their web site and sells for $25 U.S. for a 5oz/150ml tube. Although the package says it’s a one time use samples there is more then enough to use it several times. This mask is made up of kaoline natural clay, arnica Montana flower extract, pomegranate extract and cardamom. The Befine warming clay mask is a self warming formula that heats up on contact and is supposed to work to purify and refine your skin. Each time I used it I only used a light covering. At first I could feel it warming, but by the time I had my whole face covered that warming feeling was gone. It smelled just as you might think it did, like clay witch I didn’t find very appealing. I wish the pomegranate scent was what I could smell in stead of the clay, but I guess that’s just how it’s made. It didn’t really harden over the five to ten minutes that it says you should leave it on, it just sat there. When it was time to take it off, well that was another adventure in its self. It said to just use warm water to gently remove it, but there was no way it was coming completely off in a gentle manner. Even though I lightly applied it I still found it hard to completely remover. Every time I thought I had it all off and I looked into the mirror I could see an oily shine all over my face that even felt oily to touch. I have combo skin to begin with so this was the last thing I wanted to see after I remover this mask. I even tried to use a toner after wards to help remove this film that was on the surface of my skin and I still had no luck. Each time I tried this mask I came up with the same results, I had the same oily shine. The only way to remover this film was to rewash my face with my own cleanser, something you really shouldn’t have to do after using a mask of any type. The Befine Warming Clay Mask wasn't for me, but it might work better for those that don’t have combo skin like I have. I’d tell you that if you’d like to try it to see if you can get a sample before you shell out $25 for it and then find out its wasn’t for you either. -

I picked up my SPAresource Pro-Series Brow & Lash Defining tool last week and I love it! The old one that I had and I’m talking twenty years old, finally broke on me so this was a replacement tool. The brow brush is very nice. It has a lot of bristles just like a brush should have and it can pick up and places each brow hair right where you want it. The other side has a rounded comb that makes it so mush easier to get a hold of each lash as it forums to the shape of your eyes. This allows you to comb your lashes out before and after you apply your mascara giving you a much more defined look. I wish I would have bought my SPAresource Brow & Lash definer a long time ago! It does a wonderful job on both your eye lashes and your brows every time you use it and it was well worth the price. I’d definitely recommend the SPAresource Pro-Series Brow & Lash Definer to anyone that’s looking for one. -

I received my Befine Exfoliating Cleanser for free in my last months GlossyBox. It is available on their web site, a 4oz/120ml tube for $24 U.S. Their web site says this exfoliating cleanser is like a mini-facial for your skin, that it melts away dirt and debris instantly brightening and improving your skin’s clarity. It’s made up of a combination of brown sugar, crushed almonds and oats that gently remove damaged skin cells. Now the package I was sent said it was a one time use, but there is no way you needed to use this one time. I found there were more then enough to use what was in the package four times, which I did. You can definitely smell and feel the crushed almonds that are in it, how ever the almonds were small enough that they weren’t harmful and the smell went away as soon as you rinsed it off. I wasn’t thrilled with the smell, but I was thrilled with how well it worked for me. I have combo skin and tend to brake out and get blackheads along my chin and nose, so I need something that not only works well, but that isn’t to strong that it’s harmful to my skin. The Befine Exfoliating cleanser did just that for me. As you message it along your face it turns from a light brown color to white and almost looks like a mask. You can feel the little almond peaces working as you move along. I found if you used too much it was hard to rinse off, but when the right amount was use it came off pretty easily. The Befine Exfoliating cleanser left my face feel clean and very soft and depending on when I use it, the soft feeling stayed with me over night, or through out the day. I really enjoyed using the Befine Exfoliating Cleanser and will be ordering more. If you have combo skin like I have I’d definitely tell you to give this exfoliating cleanser a try. -
