VS Rockin' Body - Review

(Image: musingsofamuse)

I am so crazy over VS! I mean who isn't? I was walking across the shelves when the sales woman told me to try this product. She said that this is what models have on right before they walk the runway!! Now I don't know if she was trying to sell but somehow I bought it. First of all I love the packaging and all those words thrown like 5x sexier. It may not necessarily make you look 5x sexier but this product is really nice. It smells minty and feels nice and cool on the skin. It makes your skin look flawless, tinted, and glowing. It has shimmer and not that kinda shimmer where you can see miles away but its the kind that once you step close you can really see it and I rather have this than shining from miles away. Well this product is worth at least one try. Different women have different say about it but I think I like it! xx

I really don't know if you can see the shimmer effect in the picture but it is visibly clear to the eye!

Pond's Gold Radiance - Review

(Image: hairstyle)

My sister was talking about this product yesterday and how it is so cool. Curious as I am, I just had to do a little research. This is really a big step from Pond's to actually come up with a product that contains real GOLD! Yes this is another anti-aging line but the only difference is that it contains real gold micro particles that give instant radiance along with other benefits. It consists of facial foam, an eye cream, a day glow moisturizer, and a serum. Some say that Cleopatra wore a gold facial mask to sleep? Not only gold is used as an accessory but it also comes with benefits to our skin. Gold helps improve skin elasticity, improves circulation, and prevents skin sagging. I honestly think that I should give this product a try and see it for myself because it is really interesting. I would love to pamper my skin and dab some gold on it, don’t u ladies?

bodycology - Review

(Image: coupon love)

Bodycology is one brand that knows how to please your senses. I recently bought their vanilla cupcake body cream and oh it’s so heavenly. Not only that it gives you lasting moisture, it also has a vanilla cupcake scent. Ooh la la! Smells so good that I just want to keep squeezing the goodness out of the tube. It says at the back of the tube "The delicious scents of buttercream and sugary vanilla provide all the decadence of dessert - without the guilt." YES without the guilt lol. It includes Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and nourishing Vitamins E and C. I use this product almost every day on my arms, elbows, and knees leaving them so soft and smooth and smelling so good. To lock in the scent I use it after showering and I’m considering buying the whole range for the smell to last longer. Do I recommend this? Yes. And for all you cupcake lovers out there, you must take a bite out of this product.

Plus the price is reasonable. I bought the body cream for Dhs49 from Iconic store in Dubai. You can use the currency converter on the right hand side of the blog t find out how much it costs in your country. Price won’t be really accurate during to taxes and tariffs etc... but at least you would get an estimate. One more thing... It is not tested on animals =) which is a huge deal for me. You can explore the site and view their entire range of products here  http://www.bodycology.com.

Carrot Sun Tanning Cream - Review

(Image: carrot)

I cannot stress enough on how much I love to tan and how it is an essential part of my life! I mean who doesn’t? I am blessed with an olive skin complexion meaning that when I tan I don't burn and turn pinkish my skin instantly grabs that goldy color. But here is the deal; I have no patience at all!! Literally at all!! I would sleep on the towel facing upwards for 5 minutes and then get bored and change position... I keep doing that until I tan... I sometimes take a walk or swim. I would do anything but sit and wait not until my sister introduced this to me.

My first impression was umm… What the hell is that red jelly thing??? lol once I put it on it felt like I was rubbing jello all over myself but then it started fading along my skin. Anyhow I had it on for about one and a half hours and once I got home... Voila!! I was actually really tanned I was so surprised... That jello thing is a miracle! Why? Because here is the thing, I don’t usually tan on my chest area... I would literally have to sit for ten hours for it to get a hint of color but after an hour and a half of carrot sun cream it was actually nice and dark. Boy I remember the smile on my face it was like victory!! Do I recommend this? A hundred times yes for maximum tan in the shortest period of time!!! You guys should totally bite this product!

My sister actually orders this online you can't find this product everywhere however they sell it here http://www.carrot.net.au/products.asp?cid=1

I forgot to mention that if you are not a carrot person then the same brand offers the same product in coconut, papaya, and tropical fruits!! And also that some of these products are protection free meaning that they do not contain Spf so be careful when purchasing.

Soft Hands Kind Heart Hand Cream - Product Review

(Image: the body shop) 

If it is one thing a lady must have its soft hands! I don’t care what your excuse is MAM you shouldn’t be caught dead with rough hands. Now here is a product that I have which is so sweet because it is produced by THE BODY SHOP and we all know that this brand is against child trafficking and has joined forces with ECPAT and Somaly Mam Foundation to launch a petition against that. Now isn’t that sweet :) ? I really feel proud of myself when I buy useful products that I need which are launching such causes because I know where part of my money is contributed to. If these topics really interest you, you can sign the petition here http://petition.thebodyshop-usa.com/sign-petition.php .

Anyhow, back to the product. My cousin Alyaa which I adore to death got this for me on my bday along with other stuff of course. Now what I love about this hand cream is that it leaves your hands soft and moisturized without giving u that wet, moist feel which I absolutely hate. Nothing worse than having greasy palms. Instead, it is absorbed really fast leaving your skin semi dry and clean. The smell is very green and natural. It contains organic olive oil and it is for all skin types. Do I recommend this? YES! You should defiantly take a bite out of this product.
