My mom has very dry permed hair. This is her favorite hair gel. I would not call it GEL because this is not a typical hair gel. It is surprisingly light and not very sticky. This Round Trip defines her curls and hair bouncy. I was impressed with her before and after look. Her only complain is that the results are a bit weaker under the hot and humid weather.

Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm is my absolute favorite lip balm. I always carry one with me. Recently I saw their multi-pack at Target. I saved some money by buying it, rather purchasing one by one. This lip balm really works. It is soothing and so minty, and it makes my lip moist. Although I have to use my finger to apply it, I actually like the one in a tin.

I love being served this tea when I visit an Aveda store, but since it is quite expensive, I have never bought one for myself. I was very happy when I received this as a gift. It tastes slightly sweet, and of course it is caffeine-free so I enjoy it before going to bed. I honestly believe that this helps digestion too. I can make a few cups with one bag, however, it is still expensive for my daily tea. Otherwise, I love this tea.

I love Burt's Bees lip balms. I avoided this one for a long time because I thought it would add red color on my lips (when I want a bit of color, I usually buy their Lip Shimmer). But thanks to all the reviews here, I decided to try this lip balm. It says "with pomegranate oil", but it is smooth, not greasy, and I like the subtle sweet scent. My lips feel soft and moisturized. For non-medicated lip balm, this is great, but I still love their even stronger minty and soothing Beeswax Lip Balm much more, especially in dry winter.

The pump and the twist lock help to reduce messy spills. But I feel that what's inside is the same nail polish remover. You pay almost double the price for the bottle. For the most convenient and least messy way to remove nail polish, Cutex Essential Care Advanced One Step Nail Polish Remover Pads are still my number one choice.

It bought their one color (black) package. I thought that 24pc for $3.99 was not too bad. But unfortunately it is not very strong, does not expand too much, and overtimes it loses elasticity. It does not hold up my thick hair, and even break when I try to do pony tail.

This nail color and clear basecoat combo is very convenient, and dries pretty fast. Since the color (beige) as well as the texture is light, it does not stay too long on my natural nails. BUT this works great on mid-to-long artificial nails.

I switch between loose powder foundation and liquid foundation. When I use a liquid foundation, sponge puffs or wedges are essential tools for me. Wedges are much useful than puffs because pointy parts make it easier to apply small areas. These puffs are good enough for large areas. Since it is a disposable product, I don't want to spend too much, and CoverGirl's puffs are affordable and easy to find.

The bare minerals powder alone does not cover some of my darkest sun spots and acne scars, thus, after reading the positive reviews I finally decided to try the original version of the mineral veil. It covers some of my sun spots and acne scars. But if I don't use it all over my face, I can see where I try to cover up. When I use it all over face, the natural color of my neck does not match with my face anymore. I use a little, there is barely a difference, but if I use too much, my face look cakey. I can definitely go without it.

It is so affordable that I can but different fragrances, and change the scent depending on my mood. I noticed that Slatkin has more unusual and seasonal varieties than BBW's signature collection. I love most of them, but not too crazy about pumpkin ones such as Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin - too sweet and artificial. A great thing about these oils are that there are a few of them always on sale at BBW.
