I bought this moisturizer (medium skin tones) hoping to prolong the tan that I got over the early summer. Wow, within 3 days I saw some difference, but after the fourth/fifth day I realized that it was giving me more orangey color than I desired. So I guess, it depends on your skin tone. For me twice/3x a week was enough. Otherwise, my skin color did not look natural at all. It got a bit funky scent, but not worse than any other sunless tanner products. Oh, btw, the package of the original formula was much better because this bottle was harder to squeeze. My favorite self tanner lotion is still Nivea Sun-Kissed Moisturizer, but for the fast result, Jergens seems to be better.

I use cleansing cloths when I travel. I put a few sheets in a small plastic bag so I can bring them in my carry-on luggage, I have been switching brands between olay, dove and pond's. Recently I picked up this cloths. I love Dove's sensitive skin collection, but this one turns out be not the perfect cleansing cloths for me. Although they are gentle and do not dry up my face, they are a little bit weak on removing eye makeup.

This is a great tool for women/men who have thick/long bushy eyebrows but do not want to trim them. I got one for my husband. He usually does not care and do nothing about his uncontrollable eyebrows. But when we go out together, I ask him use this. This clear gel tames and controls his wild eyebrows. The best part, it looks natural. His guy friends do not even know he uses a eyebrow mascara! Ha! Good value too.

If you don't like to use cocoa butter or Shea butter products because of their fragrance, try this "almost" fragrance-free body butter by Clinique. This is super rich and thick cream. It feels heavy at first, yet, wow, it absorbs into skin pretty quickly. I love using this butter after swimming. It moisturizes and hydrates my skin really well, and that feeling lasts for a long time.

I am a regular Dove deodorant user, but I gave a Suave soft/solid powder a try since it was on sale (the twin package!). I am not a big fan of the scent, but it keeps me dry for regular days without giving me any obvious white residue. I was still skeptical about "24-Hour protection" claim, and guess what, I recently had an opportunity to try this 24-hour challenge. Due to a flight cancellation, I could not shower one whole night. Although I was tempted to re-apply, I waited. I felt underarm wetness, and the fresh scent was almost gone. Even though 24-hour protection is an overstatement, I feel that this is comparable to other more expensive regular deodorants.

When I saw this new "Total Care" mouthwash at a drugstore I was immediately attracted to their claims. I love Listerine mouthwash. I have tried their different flavors (Cool Mint is my favorite) and different series (whitening pre-brush Listerine was not good at all). This mouthwash freshens breath, just like the regular Listerine does. However, I do not like the flavor, and even worse it gives me some unpleasant aftertaste. It is hard to know at this point that this restores enamel or prevents from having cavity, but once this bottle is over, I am going back to the original Listerine.

What I like about the this foundation is the color (M205: medium) which blends well with my skin color. I also like the package with a sponge applicator stored under the foundation. BUT unfortunately, the most important part of the foundation, the coverage, is inferior. It does not conceal my pimple scars, sun damage, and not even pores. The creamy texture was attractive at first, but when I sweat, it comes off easily. The sponge soaks up a lot of the make-up, thus I feel it is wasteful. Also, I don't know why someone decided to add a strong fragrance into this foundation. The smell is quite strong, very flowery perfume scent. That's the biggest no-no for me.

Even though this oil is also moisturizing and helps me tan quickly, I think Banana Boat dark tanning oil spray is less richer than Hawaiian Tropic Dark tanning oil. My tanned skin with Hawaiian Tropic oil looks better and deeper in color, and lasts longer than when using Banana Boat oil. I also think that Hawaiian Tropic oil has a better and more exotic scent.

After I used their Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate, I applied this moisturizer. My skin especially the neck area and cheek felt tighter and smoother, but the combination of the serum and moisturizer made me break out around my chin and T-zone area. As a result, I gave them to my mom. My search for a perfect anti-aging moisturizer for oily/acne prone skin is to be continued....

It is a bit more like a gel than a serum because it leaves a sticky film-like substance on my face. I followed up with their matching product "Skin Genesis Daily Moisturizer SPF15 Lotion". While my cheek and neck got tighter and smoother, this combination often caused breakout around my chin and T-zone area. When I used up about the half of the bottle, I gave these away to my mom who ended up loving them. Perhaps my skin is not yet dry enough to use this product line.
