I used a small amount of this facial hair remover for peach fuzz above my lips. The small brush was very convenient, and it removed most of the unwanted hair. But OMG, as soon as I wiped off the cream, I noticed a burning sensation. The area looked a bit reddish, and started to itch. To be fair, I have not found THE perfect facial hair remover yet, but this one is worse than Nair's.

I have never used an oatmeal-based shave gel before, and I was curious as well as skeptical about a shave gel by Aveeno, but I don't regret buying this one. I have been using Satin Care for a long time so the natural scent of this gel is a bit new and weird for me. But it gives very good & smooth shave. The texture is rich, but does not leave any residue on my skin. It is more expensive than my regular brand, but a little bit of it goes a long way. Also, unlike other shaving gel, my husband and I both can use this one.

I like vanilla ice cream with mint chocolate, but I did not like Crest's Vanilla Mint toothpaste. Of course, it was not meant to be sweet, but the sweet aroma was weird enough for me. It made me feel like I needed to brush my teeth again. The minty part was not very strong, and the freshness did not last, unlike Colgate Total Whitening toothpaste. Also, I did not notice any whitening.

When I go to beach/swimming pool, I use Neutrogena sunscreen. But for everyday use it is a bit too heavy, especially for under make-up. The Eucerin's Face Lotion with SPF is light and goes on smoothly, not too oily or too dry. But it leaves a bit of white on my face, so I do not like to use it without anything else. In other words, this makes a great make-up base when a cream/liquid foundation has no or low SPF.

My husband loves a bar of Dove soap, but when he travels or takes shower at a gym, he uses a bottle of body wash. He does not like any of my body soap/shower gel collection. I see him using Axe, Old spice or Irish Spring. I recently bought a bottle of Dial Magnetic Cleaning Rinsing formula. First he did not even realize that it was from Dial. His skin feels clean after use, equally good as other leading brands. The refreshing scent was similar to his Axe body wash, and I like that this scent lingers on his skin for a while, but unfortunately not for a long time. The black bottle is attractive and masculine (it is easier to separate my stuff from his!), but it is harder to know how much he has already used it. Well, I paid about $3 for this body wash, and it is definitely worth it.

I picked up their "Sexy Intrigue", which has a mixture of sharp flowery scents (jasmine, rose) & sweet fruity scent (vanilla, blackberry, pink grapefruit) It goes on smooth, and stays clear for a few hours, but it does not completely get rid of the wetness for all day long. It smells really nice, but it is a bit too strong for my taste, and I feel this deodorant only masks the smell of sweat with a strong fragrance, instead of actually controlling/reducing sweat. BTW, their matching body mists are quite nice.

This .26 oz size is included in my L'Occitane travel kit set. This is very convenient. I use it for my hands, feet, elbows, heels and even on lips. Feels great. It is not too greasy like ointment. But since this is 100% pure shea butter, it looks a bit like a wax candle, and it smells natural. I like that there is no perfumey fragrance added into this product. It can be a bit waxy for the first time user (and the full size is quite expensive), so before you buy the full size of this wonder product, I suggest you to try their travel size.

This clip works great for my thick and long hair, and stays in place for a long time comfortably and securely. The jaw does not hurt so I can use it at work, during workout, hmm, anytime except sleeping. I have a few of these because they are so affordable and easy to find.

One in my car, one in my gym bag, one in my makeup bag...I can put these everywhere because these boards are cheap. I usually get mine for less than $1.99 (10pc). I find something similar at a dollar store but they are too thick for me, I like the slim design of these Revlon's boards. The layers with fine sandpaper like surface occasionally peel apart, but since these are not expensive at all, it makes still alright. I can find these at any grocery or drug store.

I stopped using this scrub some time ago because of the hard plastic package, but a few days ago I saw their new package at a store. It is a soft and easy-to-squeeze tube! I think the company heard our complaints!! Well, there is another reason that I stopped buying this scrub; these granules melt away too soon too quick, as I scrub. It does not give me enough time to exfoliate. I love the sweet scent, which smells like strawberry and cotton candy, but I want to scrub/exfoliate/massage my entire body without wasting too much.
