Philosophy Hot Salt Body Scrub


This stuff is a god send. Scaley legs or feet? Dead skin on the elbows? This stuff takes care of it instantly and leaves skin glowing and soft.
PW likes just about every scent they make, but looks forward to Christmas so she can get the Candy Cane Scrub. Let's face it, that jar is a lot cuter than this one. All in all, you can't go wrong here. 1 jar will last you quite awhile if you only use it once or twice a week.
Where to buy? Sephora and Nordstrom
Price: $25... This PW's secret? You can buy a slightly cheaper version from the Sephora brand for $15.

1/4 cup Sea Salt 1/4 cup Olive Oil warmed 5 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix everything together, put in a pretty glass jar of your choosing and enjoy!

Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Sparkling Lip Gloss


All this PW can say is, "Thank God I didn't have to pay for this!" I got a coupon in the mail that entitled me to get a free one and so I took them up on it. If you were starting to think that PW liked everything, this proves you wrong.
Where do I start? Shade selection is quite limited; there are 3 shades and of the 3, 2 of them are much too bright. It's way too sparkly for anyone over the age of 16.
As far as the cost, it's $12 if you're one of those unlucky people who weren't able to obtain a free coupon. If you can score this stuff for free, try it and see for yourself (and then Im sure you'll leave mean comment if you disagree) but all in all, I don't think it's a great product. This PW will leave it.
If after all of this you want it anyway, you can obviously pick up a tube at your friendly neighborhood Victoria's Sectret store.

Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara aka Faux Effect


Intense, faux eyelash look from this stuff. This PW can't get enough. Sexy, dark, bedroom lashes all the time for me. For those who are MAC/color lovers, it does come in a variety of colors as well as standard black for those of us who are slightly less bold in our color choices.
Where to buy: Saks Fifth Avenue or where ever YSL makeup is sold.
Price: $26.50
This PW's secret? Sometimes you can find the same stuff @ Costco under the name YSL Faux Effect Mascara for $15.

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour


What kind of review site would this be without a heart felt Product Whore shout out to Chanel nail polish? This Product Whore adores Chanel polishes. In general, they go on well, go on evenly and most importantly, stay looking amazing for at least 7 days.
What are this PW's favorite shades? Noir Ceramic, Vamp, and Blanc Ceramic are all on my top 10 list.
Where to buy them: Anywhere Chanel make up is sold. Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomingdales, etc...
The cost? $18 each

Bobbi Brown Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush


If you take my recommendation for the Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner, I highly recommend you use this brush for application. High quality brushes are always well worth it and being a BB fan aside, I do think this is one of the best for this type of eyeliner.
Where to buy: Nordstrom, www.nordstrom.com , any other place Bobbi Brown products are sold.
Price: $20.00

Johnson's Baby Lotion with Aloe and Vitamin E


I'll bet you thought that Product Whore only liked expensive products, didn't you? This Product Whore is happy to tell you that you are in fact, wrong.


Johnson's Baby Lotion is an old favorite and one of the best things for dry skin that this Product Whore has tried. As much as I can appreciate L'Occtaine and Kheils, I keep coming back to my old stand by of baby lotion.


Where to purchase/price? Only $3.00 or so at drugstores nation wide.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

Product Whore is also a complete whore for Bobbi Brown.
Product Whore used to have some trouble getting her eye liner to stop getting a line on the top of her eye lid. Finally Product Whore became smart and invested in this stuff. Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is one of those (few) eyeliners that truly IS long lasting. Water resistant and easy to use, even for the inexperienced. It is versatile and can be used for every day (subtle) or evening (dramatic) looks. Product Whore recommends you purchase Bobbi Brown's Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush for best results. Product Whore gives it an A+.

Where to purchase: Nordstrom or nordstrom.com

Price: $19.00

Oscar Blandi Luce


I admit, I was quite the skeptic when I picked up this product at my friendly neighborhood Sephora. Luce is a rinse-out gloss for both chemically treated and virgin hair, exclusively designed to lock in pigment added to restore shine. The first time I used it, I noticed a little bit of added shine, but nothing that would make me buy the product again. I made the choice to finish off the bottle and see what happened. Let's just say, I am now a believer! This stuff really worked for me. My hair takes a lot of heat and processing damage and after about a weeks worth of use, my hair looked shiney and more healthy. Definitely recommended by this Product Whore. The 8oz bottle lasts quite some time.

Can be purchased at Sephora or on Sephora's website: www.sephora.com

Price: $25

Frederic Fekkai Straight Away


Hands down, the best straightening balm I've used. Used a large pearl size amount of product after towel drying hair. Blow dry and then smooth with flat iron. Hair is silky and it doesn't feel like Im wearing product at all. A+

Where to buy: Sephora, Nordstrom

Price: $17.50
