One of my favorite new additions of Benefit Cosmetics’ Body So Fine.

I love this stuff – its scent is nothing short of seductive, and it has a shimmering pink to its pink body balm, which works just about everywhere!

Use it to give your arms, legs and décolleté a silky finish. It’s scented with white blossoms, which is slightly naughty but very intoxicating. (Then again, that’s probably what makes it intoxicating!)

Also included is a Bathina puff for a smooth, velvety finish!

If you have oily skin you can use it every day; if you have dry skin then once a week should be enough. When we make facial scrubs we like to use granules which have properties in themselves and are biodegradable. We use ocean salt granules in this one which scrub away dead skin cells then dissolve to rehydrate and soothe the skin. The grapefruit and limes in Ocean salt tone and refresh your skin; organic coconut and avocado butters polish and soften it. As one of our Lush staff mentioned at our skincare briefing day, ‘It tastes nice too,’ and although we don’t recommend that you swallow it, she’s quite right.

Ocean Salt Skin Cleanser by LUSH is available from Amazon.com in 2 sizes: 4.2 fl. oz. for $15.30, and a large 8.8 fl. oz. for $27.00.

Designed to work in synergy with the body’s natural water, lips get optimal lip enhancement from two intense naturally-occurring fillers in one powerful, pout-perfecting formulation: Patented dehydrated marine collagen-filling spheres(tm) penetrate skin’s surface on contact, then seek out body’s natural water, and rehydrate to instantly plump and smooth lips.As we age, the amount of HA produced in the skin is significantly reduced. Patented dehydrated hyaluronic acid-filling spheres(tm) have a remarkable, sponge-like absorbency that captures the body’s natural water, causing spheres to swell a dramatic 50 times larger for maximum hydration and long term plumping effects. Once LipFusion XL is applied, lips swell continually for hours to visibly “fill” lines, boost volume, and keep lips lusciously moist. Plumped pouts look and feel fuller, smoother, and full on sexier.

So, in my mind, which is admittedly not always correct, in order to get maximum lip plumping, your body had best be fully hydrated. Yet another great reason to drink that water!!! I do think that my body, prior to a couple of days ago when I made my water drinking pledge, was a little dehydrated. I was not all that impressed with the Lip Fusion XL. However, I used it last night, and did notice that it was doing a better job. The reason I am not “quite” ready with my review is that I want to try it at nighttime, and I keep forgetting to put it by my bedside table. I read this review of it on Amazon:

[...]last night I first exfoliated my lips with a dry toothbrush and then applied an extra thick layer of lip fusion. My lips swelled up more than they ever have before and I woke up to fuller lips this morning. Perhaps the exfoliation allowed the product to absorb better. [...]

So, I am fully intending on giving this product a good trial before I make my final judgement call. It will have to be quite good to justify the $50.00 price tag.  Especially when the non-XL version is a much more palatable $36 (from Amazon).
