Thank you so much for the descriptions! Although if Bright Moon looks like Hint of Sapphire, I wonder if I'll really need it. I passed on HoS last year, although I did give it some thought. You've made me consider Universal Appeal, though, since I regret not getting Daylight when it came out.
I really don't like the CSG formula, but I'm tempted by Venus, since it's my astrological ruling planet.
Yeah, sometimes you don't want the guy to know how much those lovely things cost you. I dropped that much on Venomous Villains and, while he understood (he usually enables my addiction), he still talks about it like it was crazy. I don't have the heart to tell him that I've spent more on other collections, it's just that I did multiple hauls...
I haven't tried it either, but I'm a little leery of mechanical exfoliants in general. They leave micro-tears in the skin, which never sounds like a good thing to me. I usually use chemical exfoliants on my skin. I'll need to see how rough it is before committing.
