Here are all my reviews:

I usually go for the Blistex in the blue jar, but this one is great for using on-the-go since it is in a handy applicator that is more hygienic than sticking your finger in a jar. Great for severely chapped and painful lips, when the winter cold and indoor heat gives your lips a real beating. Works really fast two...I usually see a difference within 24 hours. It does look white upon intial application, but within a couple of minutes it sinks in and leaves a light shine. I love it!!!!

Wonderful for severely cracked lips. When regular chapstick just doesn't cut it anymore, I use this. Slather it really thick before bed and wake up with soft, lush lips that are not longer painful or peeling. Love the tingling sensation from the menthol too. My only complaint is the same one another reviewer mentioned- you have to dip your finger in, so this is not something I keep in my purse since I can't use it on the go.

I use the 55 on my face when I went running this past summer. Doesn't make my face look like I just stuck my head in a vat of Crisco, which is the best part. Felt like it really protected my skin too! Doesn't run either, so it's perfect for sports (sunscreen mixed with sweat dripping into the eyes is NEVER a good thing). Love it!

Apply VERY VERY sparingly! Made the cardinal mistake of using too much product the first time around...I looked a little greasy by mid-day. Second time around, I worked a tiny bit of it on just the ends of my hair and blow dried and the results were amazing. My layers were noticebaly more defined! I'd imagine this would also look amazing on texturizing short cuts as well. However, this doesn't work too well on fine/thin hair. My cousin used it when she slept over and it weighed down her hair type and she looked grungy and greasy. Probably better on thicker hair! But I guess is just to apply a tiny tiny amount.

No effect on hair growth. However, it is a good basic moisturizer with an okay scent. Does give you a bit of a "glow" after a few days. Don't expect miracles with stubble free legs though!

Didn't do anything to enhance the natural texture of my hair, which is slightly wavy. I applied a quarter sized amount to my shoulder length hair and let it air dry, and it ended up looking like there was no product in it at all. However, this is FANTASTIC for blow drying. My hair looked bouncy and shiny and the look held up close to 3 days post-blow out.

Very good mouthwash if you aren't afraid of the burn. And yes, it DOES burn. The cool mint effect only lasts for a little while, so it doesn't have any sustained effects (nothing replaces a good thorough brushing and flossing!). One more thing about this product...NEVER use it more than 2, maybe 3 times a day tops. I have fond memories of mouthwash induced halitosis (bad breath), back when I was a teenager and pierced my tongue and used this as part of my aftercare. When you use too much alcohol too often in your mouth, it somehow causes the opposite effect by dehydrating your mouth and causing funky effects. When there's less saliva in your mouth, bacteria apparently grow faster. So be careful not to overuse it!

...very similar to the other refining mask that Dermalogica has in their line. Clears up oil, but results are temporary! Doesn't really do anything long term for T-zone oil issues, more of an immediate pick up for your face. Still, the results are very very good.

This is like the big girl version of the Queen Helene mint mask that I used to use back in high school. Cleans impurities out of skin and tightens pores (although temporarily). Results are immediate though, so this would be a good thing to use before a night out.

I pole dance as a form of self-expression and fitness, and people often don't know that it's a pretty tough activity on your body! When learning new tricks and spins, my legs, arms and sides get bruised very very often. Muscles and joints will ache. EVERY pole dancer I know recommends and carries arnica around with her! It helps cut down bruising when used in conjunction with ice, immediately after trauma (when the area is still red and hasn't darkened into a bruise color yet). Also helps shorten the appearance of bruises when used several times a day afterwards. It's a little less effective on muscle aches, but I'd buy 10 of these just for the effects it has on bruises alone. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who plays any sort of contact sport that causes bruising. I absolutely love it and cannot live without it!
