I have read so many amazing reviews, not to mention the beauty awards it has won, about Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish that now I really want to try it.

It is described as  ’Pure brown sugar blended with the world’s finest oils results in an entirely natural and stimulating exfoliant.’  That sounds amazing, right?

I am a huge fan of body scrubs and those luxurious body scrubs (which are very expensive unfortunately) are like a special treat to me.

My favourite salt scrub has to be  Elemis Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow which retails for £35/€59/$60. So now I just have to find a favourite sugar scrub.

In the US Fresh retails for $65 for 400 gr and 200 gr for $38. In the UK you can only get it in their shop in London for £47, not sure about the EU.

Of course, I ‘had to’ browse other Fresh products online and it seems that I would also enjoy Milk Bath & Shower Cream($18.50) and Vanilla Soap($14).

I could easily pick more products but we will leave it there.

These days when I literally see several collections or new products (or at least new to me) every day, it can be  really hard to get excited sometimes…

Yves Saint Laurent lip gloss

But an ‘unusual’ coloured lip gloss never fails to do the job. And I am talking about the glosses with just a hint of colour, not full on green or blue. Those do look awesome but not for everyday obviously.

L’Oreal lip gloss

So here are the lip glosses that I can’t wait to get:

If you want to get bath/shower products for your family and friends fir Christmas holidays, I would highly recommend investing in Elemis Nourishing Milk Bath (£39.90 /$70) and Elemis Nourishing Shower Cream (£20.50/$35).

Both products don’t come cheap but they are some of the best products on the market.  I am absolutely obsessed with both, they smell divine and leave your skin smooth and nourished. I could go on and on.. But you can actually read more about the bath cream here and shower cream here.

But the great news is that now you can save a lot of money by getting Elemis gift sets. I would highly recommend

Here are some things that caught my attention this week. First of all Illamasqua has some wonderful sets available for  Christmas. You can shop them here.

Secondly, I really liked the work of the Swedish  photographer Morgan Norman.

You can read a feature about him here and watch his works at his website.

I  also really loved this video about

I’ve written about fragrance diffusers some time ago but I still did not get  a chance to get one. So when I was browsing  on-line shops looking for something  I may like, these diffusers caught my attention.

They are from a brand called Compagnie de Provence. I’ve never tried anything from this  brand  (turns out they celebrated 20th Anniversary in 2010) but a  lot of products look  promising.

They have three  diffusers which retail for €22.50: Anise Patchouli, Black Jasmine, Incense Lavender. Each is 100 ml. You  can also get a  200 ml refill for €16.90. These come in dark brown chic design.

And there are also eight diffusers that retail for  €19.50. You can choose from  Mediterranean, Olive and Lavender, Fig Of Provence,  Orange Blossom, Wild Rose, Cherry Blossom,  Fresh Verbena, and Grapefruit. The refill, 200ml, is €14.90. These come in clear glass with colourful prints.

My Mum would definitely appreciate  such gift. And I can also see my boyfriend loving the Fresh Verbena one. I have an eye on some of these, too.

You can see the rest at their website. They have an on-line US shop, too.
