Star: **** and 1/2
Color: Nude Light
I have never really been a creme blush kind of person, but this product converted me. Its just so soft and smooth to apply. It give you a nice dewy glow on your cheeks and makes you smile from inside. It looks very natural and sheer. It stay on the whole day and even at the end of the day looks great. Its really easy to apply and blend really well, I just normally blend it with my fingers.
The only con in my opinion is the lack of shades, I think it only comes in 4 shades, all of them are lovely and I love the nude light but for some people it would be harder to find a shade that is perfect for them. On the whole just love this product. I now always keep it in my handbag and a little dab and I am all set.
Stars : 4 and 1/2
The only reason its missing 1/2 star is the limited choice of shades. Other than that is just great.

Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus Food Processor
Star: ****
I love to cook, probably not as much as I like to shop, but I do enjoy it. Any kind of kitchen aids that I can get come in handy. This is one of the most used items in my kitchen, just because of its compact size and easy of use and it barely takes up space on the counter top.
It is easy to use with just two settings chop and grind. It just does that, it perfect for making a quick salsa or fresh mint chutney or just plain old chopping, which I do a lot of. Its just as easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. I dont use a big food processor as this takes care of most of my routine kitchen chores rather easily.
I gave it 4* just because of the convenient of having this tiny grinder/chopper and at such a reasonable price.

Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme
Stars: ****
Its really stick and takes forever to be absorbed by your skin and until its does, its feels slightly annoying on the hand. But once you are past those 15-20 mins of unease, behold and your hands feel smooth, soft and hydrated. It has almondy scent to it, not my personal favourite but its not bad, I could live with. I been trying a lot of creams lately, Clarin’s handcream, oil of olay, even lancome but none of them made my hands feel nourished and soft in one application. I don’t feel the urge to apply a hand cream 5 times a day anymore. I think its probably best to apply it at night before you to go to bed, and its also good for the feet too. My heels were feeling as happy my hands after a long time this winter. My mother in law tried it during her visit and she loves it. She uses it regularly everyday and swears by it, she is now a convert.
The only reason it doesn't score 5*s is the stickiness, it does get very sticky.

Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion
Stars: **
I had heard such good things about this from friends and family that despite not being a big fan of clinique I decided to try it anyway. I am biased aganist clinique because every time I try their products they seem to react with my skin. So despite my better judgment I decided to give it a try, and I guess the reasonable price tag helped with this decision. First impression, its a light yellow colour which doesn't do it any favours and it has a light smell to it which isn't too bad. In the first couple of applications I was happy with it, thinking that maybe this could work. But after about 3-4 days I started getting rash like bumps on my forehead, which were rather itchy. I discontinued use after that. Clinique doesn't sit well with my skin, this is definitely going back.
I really wanted to give it 0 stars but people love it and they must love it for some reason. I am definitely not one of those people.

Lancôme BIENFAIT MULTI-VITAL SPF 30 LOTION
Stars: ** and 1/2
I was excited about buying this cream, as it has a good doze of SPF in it. Compared to most other daycreams which come with SPF 10/15 rather than 30 and this protects against both UVA and UVB rays. So yes I had high hopes for this cream, esp after having read all the positive reviews about it on Macy's site. I din't feel it stood up to my expectations. My skins felt dry after 4-5 hours and its doesn't feel moisturized like it should. Its light and easily absorbed by the skin and smells okay too for a SPF 30 cream, but slightly falls short on its rich creaminess that Lancome's Primordial which I test yesterday and am planning on trying.
I guess the 2 and 1/2 stars are justified by the lack of rich creaminess and the skin feeling dry after 4-5 hours for the price you have to pay for it. I usually love Lancome products, they seem to work well on my skin, with the exception of this one I guess.
