Price: $0.97 * Buy At: Target * Size: 2 fl oz / 59 ml The Jergens Original Scent Cherry-Almond Moisturizer is a typical lotion whose scent is spot on with the name. I absolutely love this scent, and I know people that love this scent even though they don't like almonds. It smells a lot like marzipan (which is like the almond version of fondant), but you can also smell a bit of the cherry as well. As I said, this is a typical lotion. It's not too thick or thin and rubs in like any other lotion. It absorbs into the skin pretty quickly and doesn't make the skin feel greasy. It works well for both dry and normal skin. If you are in the market for a new lotion, I would suggest this one since it's inexpensive and smells amazing. The travel sized version is a squeezy tube, but the larger version does have a pump.

Price: $49.50 * Buy At: Kohls * Size: 1.7 oz The Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume comes in a round, holographic purple bottle with a gold lid and charms. The Taylor Swift website describes Wonderstruck as a "charming and sparking surprise of vibrant fruits, kisses, a bouquet of soft petals and a touch of sweet indulgence." Kohl's website lists the notes being freesia, apple blossom, raspberry, hibiscus, honeysuckle, vanilla and amber. Wonderstruck does have a sweet scent, but it it's not overly sweet and doesn't smell anything like candy. I would suggest this scent for teens or young adults, but anyone could wear this perfume. I'm not sure, but I think that they may be discontinuing this scent (it's on sale at Target and no longer for sale at Ulta), so if you are interested, I would suggest getting your hands on it as soon as possible!

Price: $14 * Buy At: Bath & Body Works * Size: 8 fl oz / 236 ml The Bath & Body Works Oahu Coconut Sunset Fine Fragrance Mist is a sweet coconut scented body mist from Bath & Body Works' Hawaii collection. The scent is a true coconut scent, but it's not overly sweet or tropical smelling. I don't really notice any hints of other scents, but Bath & Body Work's website says that Coconut Oahu has top notes of Birds of Paradise, Coconut Blossom and Bergamot, Mid Notes of Tuberose, Pink Tiger Lily and Hawaiian Monoi, and Dry Notes of Labdanum, Molten Amber and Cream Suede Accord. The spray has somewhat of a fine mist, which I like. I think that Oahu Coconut Sunset is a great option for anyone in the spring or summer. XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 4 oz / 113 g The Axe Anarchy For Her Body Spray is an aerosol spray body spray. Describing scents is difficult, but if I only had one word to describe Anarchy, it would be sporty. It still has a feminine scent, but it doesn't necessarily smell sweet. I really like to wear this when I'm wearing a sweatshirt or anything that isn't somewhat dressed up. I also really like the aerosol spray instead of a typical non-aerosol spray. I feel that it makes it easier to get an even mist all over your body. I would definitely suggest Anarchy to any girl athletes out there, or anyone that likes to dress sporty. XOX ♥
Price: $7.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 18 oz / 510 g The Tree Hut Tropical Mango Shea Sugar Body Scrub is an exfoliating body scrub in a clear plastic tub with a plastic lid. This scrub has a fresh, citrusy smell that doesn't linger on the skin, which allows you to apply lotion or perfume without mixing scents. The scrub is gritty and exfoliating, but isn't too rough and would probably work for people whose skin tends to be on the sensitive side. Once you wash off the scrub, it leaves your skin feeling quite moisturized, even to the point that you don't need to follow up with a lotion. XOX ♥
Price: $14 * Buy At: Kohls * Size: 4 x 2 oz The be Delectable from Cake Beauty 4 Piece Hair & Body Mist Gift Set contains four sprays in plastic bottles. This set includes Strawberry & Cream, Lemon & Cream, Vanilla & Cream and Coconut & Cream. They spray nicely and evenly and don't leave a sticky feel on the skin. These sprays smell delicious, they are sweet but not too strong. Strawberry & Cream is one of my favorites, it smells like some sort of strawberry sauce, but does not have an artificial fruity scent. Lemon & Cream is my other favorite, it smells just like lemons but in a sweet (not sour) way. Next is Vanilla & Cream. This one is a bit odd, it doesn't smell like a normal vanilla scent, so it surprised me the first time I smelled it. Last is Coconut & Cream. Coconut & Cream does have a nice coconut scent, but does not really smell tropical. These sprays are great light, sweet fragrances that I think a girl of any age could wear. This is a gift set and you could easily separate the four sprays to give to multiple people. XOX ♥
Price: $7.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 7 oz / 198 g The Tree Hut Shea Body Butter in Coconut Lime is a body butter with an absolutely amazing scent. This body butter comes in a plastic container with a screw on lid. As I mentioned, this product has an amazing scent. It has the perfect balance of coconut and lime without smelling tropical. It is quite fragrant, but it isn't too strong. The consistency of this like a creamy butter, which is expected since this is a body butter. The texture is nice and the scent is amazing, but the only complaint I have is that this body butter feels sticky on the skin. I didn't find that it stuck to clothes, but it did make my skin feel sticky to the touch. XOX ♥
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Target * Quantity: 25 Wipes The Maybelline Clean Express Makeup Remover Wipes are a part of Maybelline's fairly new line of makeup removing products. I am a fan of the liquid version, so I thought I would try out the wipes on my trip since these wipes say they remove waterproof mascara. The wipes are an average size (5.9 in by 7.8 in) and aren't too thick or thin. They also have a nice smell, it isn't too strong, but they smell nice and fresh. These wipes did a nice job removing eyeshadow, liner and face makeup, but it didn't really live up to its claim with the waterproof mascara. I used these wipes to remove my waterproof L'Oreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara (which I reviewed recently) and it took quite a bit of work to get the majority off my lashes, even though I only wore one coat of mascara. It does a better job removing mascara that is not waterproof. They are nice wipes for someone who doesn't wear waterproof mascara, but if you do on a daily basis, I would pass on these. I don't think I will repurchase these because I can get cheaper wipes from the Target or Walmart brand that work fine and are cheaper. XOX ♥
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer - I am not tan anytime during the year, but I am even more fair in the winter. I like to use the Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer every once and a while in the winter to just amp up my color a little. It gradually darkens, so you don't need to worry about streaks or missed spots, and I like the scent.
Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15 - I have dry/combination skin all year, and it gets much more dry during the winter and fall time. I apply this face moisturizer after I wash my face to add back the moisture stripped by the face wash. I like this one because it doesn't leave my face feeling greasy. Eucerin Intensive Repair Hand Creme - Some winters my hands get so dry that I get gross cracked looking skin, and this hand creme is a savior. It is so moisturizing and the size makes it travel or purse friendly. The Body Shop Vineyard Peach Body Butter - I have 3 body butters from the Body Shop and Vineyard Peach is my favorite scent! This one also has a thicker formula than other body butters that feels less like a lotion and actually more like a butter. This body butter is nice and moisturizing and dries quickly. XOX ♥ This is a repost from here, when I didn't have a skincare section: http://volleysparkle.weebly.com/2/post/2013/05/clarisonic-mia-2.html Product Information Price: $149 Buy At: Sephora, Ulta Other Types: Mia, Aria, Acne & Plus Brush Heads: Normal, Sensitive, Delicate, Deep Pore, Acne & Body On Clarisonic's Website: http://www.clarisonic.com/shop/sonic_skin_cleansing_systems/sonic_skin_cleansing_system_mia2/# The Mia 2 differs from the original Mia, because it has a pulsing "T-Timer" and comes with a protective travel case. The Mia 2 also has 2 speed settings, while the Mia only has 1. The last difference is that the Mia comes in 6 colors, and the Mia 2 comes in 11 colors. I have the boring white one, because someone else purchased this for me. The Clarisonics also come with a cleanser. How To UseThe Clarisonic is super easy to use. It only has 2 buttons, one being the power button and one being the speed button. When you get the Clarisonic you first need to charge it for 24 hours. The charger charges the device by magnetically attaching to the Clarisonic, which is really cool. Once it's all charged, wet the brush head & your face and put face cleanser on the brush or your face. Press the power button to start the the brush. Like I said before, the Mia 2 has a pulsing "T-Timer" which means it pulses after a certain time, letting you know when to switch what part you are cleaning, it's very similar to an electric toothbrush. The "T-Timer" goes off after 20 seconds of cleaning your forehead, 20 seconds of cleaning your nose & chin, and 10 seconds for each cheek. Once the minute is up, the Clarisonic turns off. See? Super easy! The brush head is also easy to remove by applying pressure and twisting counterclockwise (like a medicine container) My OpinionI really like the Clarisonic system and think that it's worth looking into and spending the money on. It makes your face feel much cleaner and softer than using your hands to wash your face. It's very simple and easy to use, making it great for everyone. You can also use this for multiple people if each person has their own brush head.
