I met up with her about a month ago and she gave me a big bag full of goodies to try, mostly Coconut Hut.
I received Polynesian Poi-Fection shea cream in the following scents:
Almond Coconut Milk - Oooh, this is lovely. I got addicted to Laura Mercier's Almond Coconut perfume over the summer when I bought her body bronzing makeup that is scented with it. Lena's version is a dead-on dupe (I dare say it's a little better than the original!) and better quality than Laura Mercier's moisturizers.
Honey I Shunk the Kids - I think this is meant to be a dupe of Lush's Honey I Washed the Kids. I never smelled the original so I can't compare, but so far it smells clean and fruity at the same time. I think I want to try Lush's version before I decide whether I like this or not!
Pink Almond Stardust - This is similar to Almond Coconut Milk, but with a hint of sweetness. Normally I steer clear of any scent that has "pink" in it, as it's too sweet for me, but this is amazing. It goes well with the Laura Mercier Almond Coconut perfume, but I'd like to layer it with the CH perfume in this scent too!
Pink Vanilla Mist - This is nice in the jar - fresh and sweet - but on my skin it turned to this weird herbally scent, with a little bit of spice (?). Strange. Oh well.
Lipglossina also bestowed a full-size Bobbi Brown Beach body spray, which I will no doubt use all of next summer, as well as a full-size bottle of Bliss Lid and Lash wash - this is an excellent makeup remover for my sensitive eyes, and it works equally well as a brush cleaner. Oh, and a small jar of Kate Somerville peptide moisturizing cream, which I have yet to try.
