Skin Softening Body Balm: Honey & Shea
First, this smells so good!!!
A light honey scent, so tasty.
Not as thick as a body butter, but thicker than a lotion. Kind of the consistency of pancake batter.
Goes on nice & smooth, makes the skin soft. Even makes a difference on my chapped elbows!
So nice, I am a bit addicted.

Skin Milk Lotion + SPF
Skin Milk Hand Lotion with SPF 15
Quickly absorbed.
Not oddly scented, feels like it is relieving a bit of my perpetual hand chap.
I tend to like a thicker, more cream-like lotion, so this was thin/liquidy for me, but my dad, who likes liquidy hand lotion, seemed quite happy with it--he made off with it to keep in his car.

Skin Milk Cleanser & Lotion
Skin Milk
Foaming Face Wash
A nice, light face wash, not over-drying. Very creamy. Rinses well. Doesn't do any clever tricks, just cleans your face.
Facial Moisturizer
Smooth & creamy. Light, fresh scent that doesn't over-power. Keeps your face from drying out, makes skin feel nice. Not too heavy.
On a hunch, I had my friend's sister (Hi Nicki!) use it after getting sunburned. She said it was great. Makes sense--not menthol-ated like Noxema, but the milk proteins feel great on skin that has been overexposed to harsh conditions.
A great summer night lotion!

Kinerase Ultimate Daily Moisturizer
Click HereMust say I wasn't impressed with this at all. To me, it's just another moisturizer that does little for my dry, dry skin. Might be great for someone who has normal skin.

Exfoliating Cleanser
With Brown Sugar, Sweet Almonds & Oats
I just used a sample packet of Befine's Exfoliating Skincare. I was instantly hungry when I opened the yummy smelling packet. It smelled of brown sugar and almonds. I was a little worried about how grainy it was, but it didn't feel rough at all on my face. It was as if I was getting a mini facial. Once I rinsed it off, my face felt smooth and soft, and it looked even better! I would definitely recommend this exfoliating cleanser to anyone looking to improve their skin (without feeling as if you just scrubbed your face off).

Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper
Born With it
I didn't even realize until I tried this that it was a "lip plumper." I tried it one morning in the locker room at work. Instantly I felt a minty tingly feeling. My lips looked full and shiny. I was very excited to find out that it was a lip plumper...and it worked. I wouldn't say my lips were huge, but they looked fuller and the color is a shiny, subtle pink. My co-worker walked by and asked what kind of lip gloss I was wearing about 2 minutes after I put it on. It obviously made an impression on her. I am on my way to get a couple of more colors. You should go out and get some too!

Sugar Paint - Mineral Lip Glaze
Sugar Paint
Mineral Lip Glaze
Fruit Punch
These fun little tubs of lip glaze have a lot of color. If you are not a fan of cocoa butter or shea butter, you might want to stay away. The fruit punch color is almost a crayola red on my lips, and it smells a little like fruit punch, but the cocoa & shea butter smell are a little overwhelming. Overall, its not bad, but I think I might like the caramel or milk chocolate flavors a little better than the fruit punch.
