skin care product review: Lush Ros Argan body conditioner

Hi Everyone,
I hope your doing well and enjoying the spring weather, today I will be reviewing Lush Ros Argan body conditioner. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I have been more obsessed with taking care of my skin. I want to avoid getting stretch marks on my body so I have been trying to make sure my skin is well moisturized. We were at lush a few weeks ago and I was very much intrigued by this body conditioner, it contains argan oil and I love rose oil I figured why not give it a try

Product Claims:
Luxurious rose-scented shower lotion for the softest skin that ever was
LUSH product inventor Rowena made this decadent, rose-scented shower ‘lotion' – so it's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner which very conveniently sounds like Rose Argan Body Conditioner. She noticed how much she liked the sultry soft feeling conditioner gives her hair, so she thought how nice it would be if she could have the same feeling for the body too. With scoops of cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, almond oil and Argan oils, this is the most luxurious body softener that ever was (if we don't say so ourselves!). After washing up, slather yourself all over with this new invention. Rinse, pat dry and revel in supremely soft, rose-scented skin.

Features

  • Absolute Bliss: Wash with Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie before conditioning with Ro's Argan Body Conditioner for the ultimate in shower luxury.
  • Moroccan treasure: Argan oil is incredibly softening on the skin and has been used in Morocco for hundreds of years.
  • Smooth moves: Use this at night before you put on your pajamas and sink into slumber with soft, rose-scented skin.

lip product review: L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse wet shine stain

Hi Everyone

I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the L'Oreal colour riche caress wet shine stain. I heard so much rave reviews about this product that I was curious to try. I heard that this is a dupe for the YSL glossy stain so that made even more determined to find this product

I bought the color 183 Pink Resistance on the tube it looks like a light shimmery mauve pink. When I tried it on, the gloss just looked like my natural lip color. It looked like it would go well with very dramatic make up or a natural make up. A few hours passed and the gloss changed into a slightly reddish color on my lips which is super cool. Even though the gloss wore off I still had color on my lips.

The gloss itself is has a really good texture, it's neither too sticky or too slick on the lips. There is a wide range of color to choose from. It's very comfortable on the lips and as the gloss wears off there is still color that's left on your lips. The applicator is really good as well, it's this unique tear shaped applicator.

Unfortunately I had a bad reaction with the gloss. After a few days of using the gloss I noticed my lips felt very thick I didn't think anything of this I just swiped on some lip balm and that made it feel better. The next day it got worse my lips very thick again and this time I checked on my mirror and my lips were peeling. I've had dry lips before but it didn't feel thick like this one. I had large pieces of skin flaking off my lips.
As much as I like the product I can't recommend it because I had such a bad reaction to it.

sample of the product

Pros:
Fragrance free
Feels very light on the skin but it is very moisturizing but doesn't leave you greasy
Non-comadogenic
Great for people who have sensitive skin or acne prone skin
Great under make up or layering other products

Cons:
Doesn't have any SPF
Expensive I paid $25 for a small tube 40 ml 1.35 fl oz
As far as I know only available online or Europe.

I like this moisturizer, when I was shopping at yesstyle.com I needed a lighter moisturizer to layer under make up etc. I like that this feels very light on the skin but it is still very moisturizing. I don't feel any tight and dry spots on my skin. I'm on the fence about recommending this product because it's expensive and it is hard to find. I think Avene is a french skin care line available on in Europe or online.
