Terra Firma - Lavender & Lilac - Hand Cream

Lilac is not a common scent, so I was really excited to try this!
Let's work our way from the outside in.

The brown transparent tube is cute and the cap prevents leakage.

The cream is really thick, which is nice.
The scent is lovely and not too strong.

But then we get to the effectiveness of the cream itself... it dries out my skin and gives me a serious rash :(

I wanted to like this.

Price: 4/5 ($6 for 100mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

Blush amour - Nail Polish Remover - Non-Acetone

A basic nail polish remover, that is cheap, won't hurt you, and removes nail polish.

What more do I need to add? :)

Price: 5/5 ($3 for 125mL)
Scent: 0/5 (don't smell it!)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Masquerade! - Sukin - Hydrating Facial Masque

I put this on 10-15 minutes before I showered.
10-15 min is a long time when you are standing naked, waiting to shower, but that was my fault.
The smell was not the greatest (like warm/slightly spoiled butter), but it did leave my skin smooth.

Paco Rabanne Lady Million Eau De Parfum

This is like getting punched in the face with a bouquet, and not in a great way. 

I'm glad I only have a tiny sample!

I can't tell any notes, just generic (some white) flowers.

And it is strong.

The container is really cute, it's a shame that the perfume doesn't match.

I mean, I like it, but it isn't the greatest.

Fragrantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: Neroli (nope), Amalfi lemon (nope), Raspberry (nope).

Middle Notes: Jasmine (nope), African Orange flower (nope), Gardenia (yes).

Base Notes: Patchouli (yes!), White honey (yes), Amber (nope).

Patchouli!!! That must be why I like it still!

Price: 1/5 ($129.00 for 80mL)

Scent: 3/5

Season: Autumn

Time: Nighttime

Strength: Strong

Lifetime: Full day

Art Break - Party Peacock Tail

A little while ago, I had a bit too much to drink at a party and (loudly and repeatedly) announced that I was a peacock.

Unfortunately, my bbf was there and she wont let me live it down.

So why not embrace it?

First we need a base for our fan tail. I used a piece of cardboard and painted it black.

Then we add the feathers.

SO MUCH GLUE!

I cut the feathers to different lengths to make it look fuller.

Then we need a way to attach it. I chose ribbon for this.

End result:

Verdict: PU1 loves it! I can't wait to wear it to a party!

The Body Shop - Peppermint - Reviving Leg Gel

Like the other items in the peppermint range, this has a 'candy sweet' peppermint scent, which is delightful!

It is cooling and surprisingly more viscous than you would predict for a gel.

It leaves a bit of a residue on the skin which can be a bit sticky.

While it smells great, skip this and get the lotion instead.

Price: 1/5 (~$18 for 250mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5 

Same Product, Different Scent - Crabtree & Evelyn - Hand Therapy -  Evelyn Rose

This isn't a straight rose scent. It is like a blend of rose, musk and a little bit of black pepper.
