blumunkie says "So clean and soft" about Yes to Carrots C the Body Moisturizing Scrub

I actually got a full sized sample of this body scrub on a little GNO shopping adventure a few months ago. Usually I'm not very fond of scrubs since they are usually too harsh for my skin. The C the Body Carrot Moisturizing Body scrub was absolutely perfect. It smelled amazing, and left my skin soft and smooth without irritating it like most body scrubs. I mean, we are talking serious smoothness. Baby smoothness. After I finished the bottle, I immediately went out and got more. The best part is that it is the perfect thing to use before putting on any self tanning lotion, as you always need a perfectly scrubbed canvas to avoid pigment build-up. And for you animal lovers, Yes to never tests on animals (even endorsed by PETA). The one downside is that it doesn't last that long (maybe three to four applications on me). But I am the type who usually overdoes it on the body wash/scrub portions, so don't that that discourage you from purchasing.

blumunkie says "Made me actually want to workout" about 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels

I HATE to workout. I'm not overweight, but love to eat and have recently decided that I should probably start working out more to stay toned and healthy. The problem with me and working out is that I always get bored. I bought Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred on the recommendation of a friend who has been using it and looking fantastic. I was convinced after a few days I would be bored and the DVD would soon be "lost".

I must say, this is what I've been waiting for! The short 20 minute workout and the variety keeps my attention and I'm still able to see results. I'm three weeks in and on the third day of Level 2 and I can see how toned my arms are (highly recommend 5 lb weights). Everything is a lot less jiggly and more firm! The biggest win is all the little things you don't think about...better endurance...more energy. I'm even sleeping better. Talk about a self confidence boost I wasn't even expecting.

I highly recommend this workout to anyone who wants to get actual...

blumunkie says "lipgloss junkie finds heaven" about Cover Girl Outlast Double LipShine

I cannot stand the thickness of lipstick, and have struggled for a while to find a great lipgloss that is long wearing and has great color, even with my bad habit of rubbing my lips together constantly. I stumbled across Cover Girl's Outlast Double LipShine during a BOGO sale at CVS. They have incredible colors and lots of variety that I receive tons of compliments on. Try Tutu for a sheer, day look, and Carat Ruby for a fun summer night look. I've even topped the Carat Ruby with a sheer gold lipgloss and it looks great. I've tried Maybelline's version of the longlasting lipgloss, and I find this one is not as sticky and lasts even longer, especially the gloss part. Though I would like to see them sell the clear lipgloss separately, as I always seem to run out of that side before I finish the color on all of these "dual tube" products. I've never worn Cover Girl products before, but this gloss just may make me look at a few of their other items as well.

blumunkie says "sun protection without the breakouts" about Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 45, Untinted

I have struggled with finding a lightweight moisturizer that I can wear under a light powder without getting cakey...or breaking out. Neutrogena's Daily Defense Moisturizer is perfect. No breakouts, no extra oil, and light enough to wear without my face feeling heavy.
