My mom has been using this cleanser ever since I can remember. She has very dry and sensitive skin, and uses to remove all her makeups. Out of curiosity, I've tried a few times, and I am impressed that it took just one try to remove my waterproof mascara. My skin felt soft too! Unfortunately, it was too moisturizing for my oily skin. I like a little closer to a squeaky-clean feeling, and I ended up following with another face wash to make my face a little cleaner. When my skin starts feeling drier, I would definitely consider switching to this creamy cleanser. It is unbelievably cheap!

This is one of those items that I cannot live without. As a matter of fact, I am wearing it as I write this review. I use it while I wash my face so my hairline does not get wet. I also wear it when I work out, when I cook, when I take a relaxing bath, when I read, when I unwind, and so on. I love these Scunci headbands especially spandex ones. I have washed them a few times, but they still have a great elasticity.

The texture is more like light straightening balm than cream. It works well on my husband fluffy puffy hair. He applies this KMS creme to damp towel-dried hair, and even when his hair is completely dry, his hair stays in place. It does not make his hair hard, stiff or crispy. It has a pleasant scent. It is a bit pricey, but the bottle is huge (his hair is short so he has been using the same bottle for months!!) For a bit stronger results he uses Head Organics Hair Gel, but for more natural look and touchable hair I think he should keep using this creme to tame his stubborn hair.

Glowelle Natural Pomegranate Lychee Flavor Beauty Drink Dietary Supplement Powder Sticks
Overpriced and under-performing
I tried their 7-day Powder Stick Pack. It was convenient to consume at a gym, but it did not dissolve in water as good as other powdered drink mix such as Crystal Light. I actually liked the taste of Pomegranate Lychee Flavor, not too sweet, not too tangy. But I cannot honesty confirm any benefit or improvement on my skin by drinking this. It is way too expensive just to quench my thirst.

My husband did not complain about this body wash I got for him. But, unlike me, he is very easy to please when it comes to body wash. He likes Gillette, Old Spice, Irish Spring, Axe shower gel all equally. According to him, it has to lather and cleanse well. This Gillette body wash passed his basic test. I, for one, think that this Gillette and Old Spice have more intensive scents, which leave lingering nice clean fragrance on his skin. And their scents seem to last some time. Actually, there are two liquid body wash products that he rates higher than others - Dove Men and Nivea for Men because they are more moisturizing. Well, he still favors a bar of soap (Dove's) most of time.

I recently bought a bottle of Nivea Touch of Happiness. What I like the most about the product is the scent. It smells like Orange Creamsicle! The scent makes me want to stay under the shower a little longer. It lathers, cleanses and rinses well without leaving a dry/tight feeling on my skin. Sure, Olay's and Dove's body wash are nice, thick and definitely more moisturizing, but sometimes (especially in summer) I prefer a bit thinner and easier to rinse off body wash. I think this Nivea body wash has a good combination of refreshing shower gel and hydrating creamy body wash. Yeah, I still follow-up with body lotion after washing with this one, but still good price, good size, and happy results.

I cannot imagine our household without a bottle of foot powder. My husband loves wearing his flip flops and sandals. He has several pairs so he can wear them in rotation, but still his feet become smelly! This powder gives his sweaty feet an instant cool sensation, and helps to keep his feet dry for some time and not so smelly. I also sprinkle some on his rubber flip flops. It absorbs the moisture and the yucky smell from the flip flops! Other foot powders have also worked similar so far, but we usually pick up Gold Bond's because their bottle is way larger than Dr. Scholl's or Odor Eater's. My only minor complaint about this big bottle is that it tends to sprinkle too much powder at one time.

I am surprised at myself that I actually like(d) this perfume. I tried Eau Dynamisante in the mid-90s first. I was fascinated by the concept of unisex perfume at that time. Additionally, a salesperson told me that this perfume contained plant extract oils, which would help firming, toning, and hydrating the skin. I thought "it is too good to be true". I find their scent fresh and clean with hints of patchouli and citrus. Actually, at first I did not like the scent, but over the years the scent gradually grew on me. Nonetheless, I cannot confirm about firming and toning to this day. I re-purchased one more bottle, but then later I started collecting different kinds of perfume bottles and body mists. Anyhow, I also liked the fact that this is not as expensive as many high end products. Oh yeah, I must say, the bottle is not very glamorous.

Dial Complete Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash
My hands are clean, and this foaming hand soap is affordable!
I like their new bottle, which is sleeker than their old design. We have already tried the two different scents of Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash - Cranberry and Pear. Yeah, Bath & Body Works have a wider selection, but I am not too picky about daily hand soap to be used around our kitchen. I just want our hands to be clean so I can prepare meals or touch any kitchen tool. Both Cranberry and Pear smell refreshing yet do not leave lingering fragrance on my hands too long. One pump produces enough amount to wash hands, and my hands feel clean. It says "gentle on hands", but unfortunately my hands still feel dry, but again I just want my hands to be germ-free around the kitchen. Over the years I noticed that the lifespan of the foaming hand soap is much shorter than a liquid hand soap. However, since this Dial's Hand Wash is much cheaper than BBW Anti-Bacterial Foaming Hand Soap (plus I got these Dial ones on sale for buy one get one free), I don't mind to use it daily. To pamper my hands with a nicer hand soap, I like BBW's Aromatherapy Tranquil Mint which I keep for our guest bathroom.

I have tried a foot cream from Body Shop, True Blue Spa and l'Occitane, and they are all good but pricey too. My favorite drugstore foot creme is Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Foot Cream, but it is very rich and concentrated so it is more ideal for the dry winter months. I wanted to use something a bit lighter and a good foot creme that I can use on a regular basis even in summer. I got Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Creme. I liked it from the day one. This is rather a thick lotion than a thick cream, and another nice feature is that it is fragrance-free. This stuff makes even the worst part my feet, dry rough heels, feel softer and nourished. This is a keeper!
