Explosive!

I know that recently I have been writing a lot about a company named Product Body, but for any of you that have tried it, you know why. The first product I experienced was the double whipped shea butter, then the samples of crush on you, and now finally I have found my purpose for their Mama Bomb. I love it! But it's not just because it gets rid of those nasty little stretch marks, it's because of a deeper, more personal reason. Now I have a disease that is not too pretty, and certainly does not make you feel to pretty. Genetically, all my appocrine sweat glands are infected. And when I say all, i mean ALL. any where there is one I get these break outs. They come from the onset of stress, or eating unhealthy, etc. Well like I said it's not too pretty. the other day i began to get an outbreak, and when a break out occurs it leaves nasy scars, so I figured what I would do is use the mama bomb to kinda tone down the scarring (they are unbearably hideous). So I applied the mama bomb to the affected areas, and went to sleep. I hadn't really noticed them the next day, but two days later I looked at the area, and they were almost gone, healed, and with almost no scarring! That to me is a miracle, cuz these breakouts usually last weeks! I love this stuff, it is perfect to keep handy for cuts and scrapes you don't want scaring, or maybe a little moisture boost, but to me, it is perfect all around!!!!

RETRACTION!

Ok so I am taking back my comment about Crush on you by Product Body! No, not in a bad way, I am talking about in a good way. I had said that immediately afterwards I really didn't notice a difference in the sugar shea scrub, but after speaking with Joanna and doing some heavy duty cleaning I decided to go for another review. Last Sunday I spent the day cleaning. First it was washing 3 cars. The doing dishes, cleaning the house, etc. Well after using all the different products to clean with my hands felt horrible. I now felt like they were made out of sand paper! So immediately I went and grabbed the sample bottle I still had of the crush on you, put some in the palm of my hand and began 'exfoliating'. When you talk about dramatic, this was it, in the context of the change in my hands before use of this product, and after. I love it!!!! This product doesn't deserve my review before! It deserves more. So if you are ever in dire need of some exfoliation, this is the product you should turn to.

Lust, Love, or a Crush on You

I heard about this Product line 'Product Body' through a co-worker of mine who found it on a beauty blog. She was raving about the prducts, their sent, and how well they worked, so of course me being the product junkie I am I decided to take a try. So I went on their website and ordered their Whipped Shea Butter in Yuzu scent. I recieved the product, and instantly opened it. The scent was so fresh and citrusy and almost immediately i had wished I could have taken a butter knife and spread it all over my body. It doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy, but it leaves it fresh and moisturized! So then i looked in the box and realized they had also sent me a small sample of this Crush on You Sugar Shea Scrub in Pink Grapefruit scent. I had left it on my dresser waiting for the right time to try it, I mean the jar is so small I didn't want to just waste it. Then I ordered another product, Their Mama Bomb, in Citrus Butter, which by the way is excellent for strech marks, for before, during or after pregnancy, etc. And again in the box was another sample of this crush on you, this time in the same yuzu scent i had my shea butter in. So 2 nights ago i decided to try it while in the shower. Just to test the product I tried it on my hands. The sugar melts into your skin while exfoliating, it was wonderful, and then when I was done I wiped my hands, probably out of shear force of habit, as not to feel greasy (which this product does not make you feel at all) and I really didn't feel any different, I wondered what the whole hype was about. I mean I had used scrubs before, and never liked the greasy feeling, but as far as exfoliation, it didn't feel any different. The next morning i woke up and felt a huge difference in the way my skin felt. It was insane to think that it actually worked even though immediatley after I didn't notice. Then the real answer about Crush on You came. I was at my boyfriends house last night, and while watching my favorite TV show, I started to rub on his chest a little, and he kind of jumped up and said to me "Oh my G-d, your hands are so soft!" Now my boyfriend (like most men) is not the most observant, and he actually noticed, that's when I knew this was the best scrub I had ever used! I love it, and I can't wait to get the large jar; in every scent!

Do you dare?


I am one of those people who is completely obsessed with my hair, and I mean obsessed. It's mainly because when I was younger I damaged my hair so bad, they had to cut most of it off, and I hated how my hair looked. But thats all changed. I take extremely good care of my hair now, it's long, &I love it! I used to think that the only way to get healthy hair, both physically and healthy looking, was to buy those expensive salon products, yet once again I was wrong! One day while walking through target, i had decided to try a shampoo from the Garnier Fructis line. I took home the length and strength line. I loved how it smelled and it seemed to make my hair look so much better, but the real test was going to my hair dresser. When I went in there and she took one good look at my hair she had asked me what I was doing differently. I had asked 'why?' and she told me that after 2 months of not being in her salon, I had almost no split ends, which is very abnormal for me. They also have a sleek and shine formula that is suppsed to control frizz and that is what I am experimenting with now. I love this brand of hair products now, and I am recommending it to anyone that will listen.

Mac It


No Matter what I did, I could never wear cheap makeup, meaning Maybelline, CoverGirl, L'Oreal &Revlon, they just would never look right on my face. Then one day someone introduced me to MAC cosmetics. I love this stuff! Foundation, eyeshadow, lips gloss, &cleanising products. But let me give you reasons why MAC is so great. With all of their products, it is a constant motion. They always keep their original colors, but they get new colors depending on what is in, and the season, &the colors are absolutely amazing. There are standards, like naturals, browns, pinks, etc. but then they also have these very bright colors, that surprisingly people can pull off. Then they make this tinted lip conditioner* that is awesome. There is nothing out there like it, not neosporin lip treatment, not chap-stick, &burts bees. This moisturizer makes your lips so soft, they never crack, &it smells like cake batter. I love it, &you should try it. All MAC cosmetics are oil-free.
