I cannot believe that I have not reviewed this exfoliating cream until now. I have been using this for years, and I love it so much. I have tried other body exfoliating scrubs, sometimes just to change fragrances, but I always come back to this one. The scrub beads are not rough, just perfect for buffing and polishing skin. It leaves my skin smooth and less flaky, and the minty scent is refreshing. The tub is quite large so it is well worth the price. Absolutely the BEST! If you have sensitive skin, try this on elbows and heels first.

I expected this to be a much thicker treatment, but it is rather creamy. Unfortunately, I am not crazy about the fragrance. Unlike other Aveda haircare products, I notice a bit chemical-like smell in this treatment. Anyway, I leave this stuff in my hair a bit longer than I would my regular conditioner for deeper conditioning. It leaves my hair smooth and soft, but not more than some of my favorite treatment products. With less money, you can get a better result with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask or Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner.

I love scented candles, oils, and oil sticks. One of my favorite fragrances is French Vanilla, especially during holiday season. Yankee Candle Company's candle is a bit pricey, but the scent is intensive and long lasting. If you don't like your room to smell sweet, definitely avoid this because this candle (I got a medium jar 14 . 5 oz) fills a whole living room quickly with French Vanilla fragrance. When I use it at night, and in the next morning when I come down to the living room, I still notice the vanilla scent. This will make a perfect holiday gift for vanilla lovers.

One time I forgot to bring my regular razor with me, and I was on a weekend getaway. I did not want to spend too much, thus, I brought this razor. I was surprised how sharp it was. It shaved my unwanted leg hair alright, but occasionally it took some of my skin surface too. I usually don't get razor burn, but this razor gave me one and my legs got itchy. Don't forget to use moisturizing lotion/body butter afterward. This razor is definitely meant for one-time use.

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap
Strong fragrance is nice but can be bad sometimes
It smells so good that kids tend to waste this soap. We have tried several different fragrances, but so far we like Cucumber Melon the best. Since the fragrance is strong, it leaves a noticeable fragrance on my hands. Thus, I don't leave this in kitchen (I just don't like to handle food after washing hands with this soap).The regular price is a bit more expensive than a drugstore liquid hand soap, but there are some always on sale (e.g. 3 for $10). BTW, okay, I have tried 3 different BBW's hand soap lines: this one, Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap, and Aromatherapy. The lifespan of the Foaming Hand Soap is too short. I like the Aromatherapy (Stress Relief - Tranquil Mint) the most.

Clinique Colour Surge Impossibly Glossy
Great lip gross replaced by Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss
I just finished my last Colour Surge Impossibly Glossy. I tried a few colors, and my favorite was 13: Sugarplum. The color was vivid yet not too obnoxious. It gave shine and gloss that I needed without getting too sticky. My lip looked smooth. This is almost identical to their new line Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss, but this one was not very long lasting. I think the new Superbalm line is better in performance, but I miss the color selection of Colour Surge Impossibly Glossy.

This looks a moist towelette packet. I was very attracted to this first because it clams that it cleanses, tones, repairs and moisturizes all in one, without any water. However, it did not remove my makeup completely, especially the eye makeup. Instead, it gave me raccoon eyes no matter how much I rubbed it off. I ended up using a make-up remover to wash all up. Okay, I wanted to give another try, so next I used this EZ4U after I removed make-up. Then, it left some residue on skin, and I started feeling some irritation. My skin was not hydrated enough, and looked a bit red. The rest of the packets I decided to use after I work out or when I cannot wash my face (traveling, camping etc.), but not as one of my daily routine products. The only satisfying factor of this product is the convenient single-packed/ pocket-size package.

This moisturizer is very creamy a bit heavy for my skin, but it seems to absorb in my skin easily. I feel this is lighter and slightly better than their SPF 15 version. It claims that "evens out skin tone & texture", but unfortunately after 2 months conterminously using this summer, I did not see any change in my skin tone. In summary, this is a decent daily SPF 30 moisturizer, but not to correct uneven skin tone. If you like Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15, try this SPF 30.

This is more than just a body wash. It cleanses AND exfoliates gently at the same time. It smells and looks like brown sugar glaze. Don't use it with a wash cloth or a bath sponge because you won't feel the beads. The best tool is your hands. Thus, it does not lather too much, and I have to use a quite amount each shower. If you are looking for a multi-tasking body wash and if you don't mind strong fragrance, try this one.

I bought it to use as detangler initially, but it turns out to be this spray works better as extra shine spray. I have long straight hair, well almost straight. I apply this spray right before I use a hair dryer or when my hair gets frizzy and looks a bit dull. This spray definitely adds extra shine, makes my hair easier to comb and style, and also leaves subtle refreshing scent. I have a feeling that somewhat this helps to protect hair from heat damage caused by flat iron. Anyway, it's well worth the money, but it is very hard to find.
