This Nivea lip moisturizer is like buttery moisturizing lip balm in a stick. It is hydrating, and gives my lips a shiny finish, but not greasy or waxy. When I feel like minty lip balm, I still use Burt's Bees. But when I just want to moisturize my lips, this is a good choice. Be aware though, if you are used to a light/solid chapstick, you may find this too rich and thick. I also like their package. This is a bit bigger than a regular drugstore chapstick, and the cap is big too. BTW, I like this whole Nivea lip care line - so many to choose from. My favorite one is A Kiss of Milk and Honey. A Kiss of Protection Sun Protection Lip Care SPF 30 is great, and I use it when I know I would spend some time outside. And when I want a tiny bit of color on my lips, I use A Kiss of Flavor Cherry Tinted Lip Repair.

The first thing I noticed is that it has a nice pleasant scent. It does not lather much, but it still removes my makeup gently. I have oily/combination skin, and suffer from adult acne, so I need a bit stronger cleanser than this one. I do recommend this cleanser to those who want gentle facial cleanser. I have never heard of this company before, and I got this as a gift. I don't even know where I can get this (except the online stores).

I used to avoid any floral perfume, but when I sampled this fragrance sprayed on a cardboard, I thought the flowery scent was feminine and appealing, and the bottle was pretty. When I tried it on my skin, I was surprised how strong the scent was. It was a bit overwhelming and more floral than I remembered. I agree with another reviewer that the scent was nothing too exciting/special. One day I used it again and was ready go out, my husband thought I just used a spray of air freshener. :(

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Soap
It is fun to go in and check out what's new at BBW
I used BBW's Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap and Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in the past, and I remember both of them were nice but dried my hands a bit. I was curious if this "moisturizing" line will clean my hands as good as others but without drying my hands. I still like the BBW's signature bottle designs, very appealing. Midnight Pomegranate has nice pleasant and fruity scent. It lathers good, and my hands feels clean after washing with it. BUT in my opinion, none of BBW hand soap lines are really moisturizing but I should not expect moisturizer from hand soap. I have to admit, it is fun to experiment with BBW's difference fragrances and lines. Anyway, my favorite BBW hand soap is definitely still Aromatherapy's Stress Relief - Tranquil Mint!

I read many negative reviews about this product, but I wanted to see/feel it by myself. The roller has a metal ball, so when I roll it over my undereye bags, it gives a nice cool sensation. But that's pretty much it. Funny, I do feel skin around my eyes tighter right after I apply it. It's been about 2 months using this roller in the morning and at night, but I see only little visible changes...hard to tell. My dark circles are still there too. I will keep using it until it is over, but I won't buy the same roller again. I stick with a eye cream/serum, it's a good eye "massaging" roller though.

These picks are maybe a little bit more minty than other floss picks that I tried before, but of course the minty feeling does not last since picks are picks. ;) Although these picks are more expensive than traditional ones, I like that they slide easily between teeth, and I don't have to put my whole hand in my mouth to reach my back teeth. Oh yeah, less messy! I can floss at a gym or in my car, no hassle. Unfortunately, their strings tend to break faster than when I use traditional dental floss.

This is ideal when my skin needs to be lightly hydrated. This light lotion is absorbed quickly into my skin, and leaves no greasy residue and sticky feeling. I like to use this one during the hot and humid summer months when my skin still needs to be hydrated. When the weather is dry, I prefer to use rich lotion or body butter. If you like the scent of Dove Cool Essentials cucumber/green tea products, you will love the scent of this lotion too because the scent is very identical. It is refreshing and soothing. My skin smells fresh and clean too when I use this lotion. Plus, just like other Vaseline products, this one is very affordable! BTW, now they have a SPF 15 version too.

About 6 months ago I started doing my own manicure & pedicure at home to save $$$. I wanted to invest in good nail care tools. I already had nail clippers, files, and buffers, but I had never owned an ingrown nail clipper before. I have short toes, and a regular nail clipper was never able to remove my tiny & thick ingrown nails without pain. Too often I cut them too short, or even I had to pull them....ouch! I was planning to get an ingrown nail clipper, and after reading great reviews here, I decided to buy this Sephora one. This tool is certainly handy, it makes clipping easy. The best of all, no pain! Now I cannot live without it.

Wow, this cream is super-duper rich!! First of all, unlike the image here, it did not come with a tube, but mine was a 1.7 fl.oz tub. I have oily/combination skin so I would usually never ever use a cream like this. But during the last skiing trip, my facial skin became really dry, dehydrated and itchy due to the long exposure to sun and winter weather. I went to a store, and a sales person recommended me this l'Occitane cream. Wow, I remember this cream was really heavy and thick, it was like intensive skin butter for face. It contained 25% Shea Butter. My irritated and dry skin got better, but it also left my face a bit greasy feeling. After the trip was over, I gave it to my mom. I only recommend this cream to those with extremely dry skin or when travel to the driest/coldest place you could imagine.

I am currently using Degree Ultra clear Pure Satin, and I am about to finish their full size. It has not left any residue or white marks on my clothes. The scent is subtle, it smells like a standard bar of soap. I like Pure Satin's scent much better than Degree fine fragrance collection deodorant that I tried in the past, but I still prefer the scent of Dove Ultimate cool Essentials to this one. Anyway, it kept me dry for several hours, and it was affordable. It seems to work as long as I don't run it the hot/humid weather, Overall, it has worked pretty well for me just like Dove Ultimate go fresh Deodorant and Secret Platinum Invisible Solid.
