Here are all my reviews:

This lipstick states "over 100 times more water than regular lipsticks" so I was a bit skeptical. A moisturizing lipstick tends to wear off easily, but the staying power of this Almay is decent. Yeah, it is clearly not meant for all day wear, but since this is very affordable, I don't mind re-apply a few times a day. The true to the title, it hydrates my lips without any yucky stickiness. It has a nice color selection, and it took some time for me to decide which color. Ultimately, I chose Garnet. The color is pretty, and considering the sticker price, this lipstick can be really great if there was no perfumey scent.

"for her" had a refresing citrus scent, and "for him" was also citrussy but I could also smell musk. When I sampled "for her", I thought this was very smiliar to CK One, which I like very much. The fragrance was light and youthful, and reminded me of my first perfume. While IN2U for men was stronger, unfortunately for women was not very long lasting. I wore in the morning, by the mid-afternoon the fragrance was almost gone. I did not like the bottle design from the very beginning. I found the design tacky and not practical. If this set was not on sale, I would not have bought it.

This retractable nail file is very convenient and smart. I extend the dual-sided file, and when I finish filing, I just retract the file back into the plastic case. It is too expensive for me to use this file daily, but it is definitely ideal for purse and travel. I am thinking to get these for some of my co-workers.

The exfoliating beads are very gentle but not "weak", thus, I can use a few times a week. It removes dirt and oil from my face effectively, but not exactly unclogging any pores. I also feel that this scrub itself does not treat my acne, but it seems to help to soothe my acne prone skin. The price is unbeatable, and this is one of the great drugstore scrubs. I like their Detoxifying Daily Scrub slightly better because it removes some of make-up too.

I picked the pinkish + nude color "Blush", which is quite versatile. This lipgloss adds nice shine, and the applicator tip is perfect for the creamy texture to go on lips smoothly. However, unfortunately, it does not last very long, and it easily leaves stains on coffee cup or wine glass. Their claim, six hours of wear is definitely an overstatement, well, maybe it is true if I don't eat or drink anything for 6 hrs! Well, at least this lipgloss is affordable, so it makes a little acceptable to re-apply frequently.

I purchased not just Venus Breeze, but Venus "Spa" Breeze. It was a bit expensive for disposables, but I was curious about this concept, which is like a smaller version of Schick Plus Intuition. I sometimes use Schick Intuition, but I don't like their bulky handle. So this one looks attractive to me. The moisturizing shave gel around the blades allows extra smooth shave. The gel bars wear out quickly, but this is supposed to be a disposable razor so I expect it to happen. I am pretty satisfied with their performance. But yeah this is still pricey, so I won't buy it again anytime soon. If you can afford this, I think this razor is convenient and ideal for travel and work out.

The coral-pink color of "A Perfect Whirled Cheek Stain" gives my cheeks a nice "sun-kissed" effect, but it adds unwanted shine too. Also, it is not very easy to blend with my foundation (liquid and powder). When I rub it on, it smears my foundation. Either it is too difficult to use with other makeup, or I am too stupid to use this.

I bought this nail clipper because it was the cheapest and the smallest at a drugstore. My hands are small, thus, this clipper works fine for my finger nails too. I have been using this for more than 6 years or so now, but it still cuts great. The attached nail file comes in handy, and sometimes I even use it to clean under my fingernails.

I am a big fan of Shea Butter, but this Keri's "Shea Butter" lotion is an overstatement. I know Shea Butter, and this lotion does not have any of Shea Butter's benefits. First I noticed that the texture is not like Shea Butter at all. Even thought the bottle says "Intense Moisturization", it is very watery. I don't know how much Shea Butter is actually in this bottle, but it feels like none. Also, I agree with another reviewer that it leaves some sort of sticky residue on skin. Additionally it does not smell natural, instead, quite perfumey. I hate to give a rating of "1", but I cannot find anything that I love about this product. I enjoy shopping for different my body lotion, but I know for sure that I won't buy this again.

I use this on myself. I purchased this because I am usually happy with Burt's Bees and I don't have many "apricot"-scented skin care. It smells sweet and wonderful, and it is hard to believe the ingredients are all natural. My skin feels soft and hydrated after using this oil. As a daily moisturizer I still prefer Johnson's baby oil gel (aloe vera one) because their texture is thicker and it is cheaper, but as a bath oil and a massage oil, this is another excellent Burt's Bees product. BTW, this baby oil comes in a glass bottle; it makes a nice decorative bottle, but I have to be careful with it.
