product recs

Stopped off after work yesterday for some self-pampering girlie stuff. I've gotta say, these are awesome:

Caudalie Lip Conditioner - $12 seems hefty for a chapstick, but it sinks in and doesn't lick off, and I'm already noticing an improvement in my perpetually chapped lips. Thanks to margoeve who first put me onto the brand - most of their products are too rich for my blood but this, at least, is worth every penny :)

Lush Sea Salt Cleanser - I'd not had a good exfoiliating in... forever, and I wanted to try something that doesn't leave as much residue as Buffy. I remembered this from a prior trip and decided to give it a swing:

Yowza! This will take a layer off of you, in the best possible way! It's recommended for the face, but so strong I'd hesitate to use it there - my knees and elbows are polished! Not moisturizing so you might want to follow with a lotion but I'd argue that this is stronger than the beloved backside slayer. I'll probably use it sparingly (once/month) because it IS so strong.

Disclaimer: no one's paying me - this is all my opinion.

I love LUSH Sea Salt Cleanser. Makes me feel like I'm washing my face in a margarita! I don't use it more than once a week but it's really nice for getting dead skin to go bye-bye.
