Revisited: NIVEA' My Silhouette! sculpting gel cream
Back in April, when I first mentioned NIVEA's My Silhouette! sculpting cream, I said I thought it would be a difficult product to review properly. This turned out to be true, not just for the reasons I gave in the earlier article, but because, well, it turns out I'm not too hot at remembering to apply body lotions every day.
(Is this just me? There never seems to be a good time to do it: if you do it at night, you have to go to bed all sticky, and if you do it in the morning, you have to put your clothes on while you're sticky. In other words: I fail at using body creams. Add to that the fact that I've been testing out a few self tanners recently and couldn't use the NIVEA product underneath them without risking patchiness - or more patchiness than I risk anyway when I try to fake tan - and, well, you can see my dilemma).

I've always believed that the only thing that really cures a hangover is sleep, water, and lots and lots of both. If you want to try something a little different, though, Lush's 'Too Drunk' contains essential oils of peppermint, marigold, fennel and reviving sweet orange, and claims to help wake you up, soothe your aching head, and generally help you feel like a member of the human race once more. All you have to do is stick it in the shower or bath and wait for it to work its magic.
This morning I received a press release which opened with the words, "Now that the summer appears to be over..." No! Say it ain't so! Here at Dollface Towers, summer only really got started last Thursday, and now it appears to MIA again, so I was really hoping for at least a few more weeks of warmth. If that's not going to be possible, though, I guess I'm going to have to turn to beauty products to try and cheer myself up and hang onto those last dying rays of summer...
Is your man a manly man? Well, d'uh! Of course he is! In that case, he's going to need some equally manly soap - well, you can't have him using the girly, floral scented soap you use, can you? And anyway - it's yours.
Another Jelly Pong Pong product, and this time I have a very serious question: what's the point of flavoured soap? Sure, this looks super-cute and very appealing to a packaging-whore like myself, but ASOS claims that it's a "flavoured" soap, which has got me wondering, WHY? It's not like you're going to eat it, after all, so I'm assuming they mean "scented" - they do, indeed say that these popsicles "smell like the real thing".
It's actually going to be pretty tricky to provide an accurate review of
Good news, Dollface readers: NIVEA currently have twenty full sized bottles and thousands of sachets of their new My Silhouette! gel cream to give away, and they want to give them away to you! If you'd like to try it out, all you have to go to claim your sample is visit
I actually bought this for my husband, because he loves unusual bath products, especially if they come from
I don't actually use shower caps, but ASOS point out that this one will both "brighten any bathroom" and make a "fun gift", and I think I'd have to agree with them. I mean, who doesn't want to take a shower while looking like a devilish cow?
If it seems like I've been doing a lot of talking about
White Musk Sensual Indulgence Gift Set
Agent Provocateur - they don't just make frilly undies, you know. (Although they do that too. Rather well, actually...) This is their attempt to capture the Valentine's Day market, and it's a boxed set containing their Eau de Parfum and matching body wash.
OK, this definitely has to win the "product with the longest name" award. It's called - are you ready for this? -
We knew we could rely on Lush to come up with a Valentine's Day Gift set to bath-melt our hearts...
Sick of St. Valentine? I can't say I blame you. Never mind, though: this 'Love Stinks' soap set should at least raise a smile, whether you're celebrating or not.
The old "bed strewn with rose petals" may seem like a bit of a cliché, but a luxurious bath filled with them - now that sounds just fine by me, although maybe that's just because my bathroom still resembles a building site at this point in time.
Valentine's Day. Candlelight. Champagne. A huge, frothy bubble bath to share with your loved one. And what better to fill it with than
At the weekend, Mr. Dollface, who can't walk past a branch of Lush without going in and buying something - I have him well trained - picked up a bar of
This is one of those products that look so enticing you just have to try it. When it arrived, I initially thought it looked like cotton candy or whipped cream in a jar (yes, I still have that problem with
I know I talk a lot here about beauty products that look and smell so good that you almost want to eat them, but Urban Decay have just become my new heroes by making their Marshmallow body shimmer, which you can actually eat. Praise the Lord!
Another day, another Christmas body-care gift set, and this time Kiehl's step up to the plate with their
We're still hard at work today here at Dollface Palace, but I thought those of you who're celebrating Thanksgiving might appreciate this little treat from Philosophy. It's called
Most of the time when companies decide to offer a percentage of their profits to charity, that percentage will be just 10% or less. This body lotion from Lush, though, really is a 'Charity Pot' by nature as well as by name, because when you buy this, Lush will donate 100% of the proceeds to charity (click
