I constantly suffer from chapped lips and have spent way too much money looking for a product that works without tasting gross, having a funky smell, simply not working, or having a cap that refuses to stay on. This product really delivers on healing my lips without stinging, smelling, or tasting gross. I really like the design of this balm. It's harder than most but that keeps too much product from being applied and wasted. It's much larger than most but this means I can just do a single swipe or two across my lips (mouth closed) and be done. The top also screws on and actually clicks when it is fully closed, so I no longer have to worry about lip balm or chapstick getting all over my purse (which is really hard to clean up, btw!) or getting dirty because the cap/top would not stay on or the squeeze tube sprung a leak. The scent is really mild and as for taste I would have to say little to none, even with the mint variety. I like that it is organic and still has a pretty average cost around $3.00. The previous poster who mentioned these for stocking stuffers was right - younger kids LOVE these things, even the boys since they don't look like "girly" products (and they come in blue and green). And the best part is that they don't get lost in my purse like most little tubes of balm do.

I use this a couple times a week to keep my hair color vibrant and shiny. I am able to extend the time between coloring by at least six weeks, even with my (gulp...) grey hairs that seem to be coming in at a far too rapid rate! Sure, the original purchase is pricier than many conditioners, but the trade off is great, long lasting color that reduces how often your hair needs to be touched up or colored. Not bad for a $18.00 investment.

I got this and the conditioner several months ago and cannot begin to say how impressed I am. It cleans without stripping my color or drying my hair out. My hair comes out clean and bouncy and really soft. The fact that you can scent with your favorite Aveda scent (or any other) makes this great for creating a personalized gift for someone. Or else you can add a bit of color to help keep your color vibrant. I love how versatile this shampoo is!

I love back rubs/massages, but not the way massage oils leave my skin greasy. This massage oil is actually a dry oil spray that absorbs after a several minutes of massage. It leaves skin feeling amazingly soft without any greasiness. The scent is also very soft, which is a nice change from some of the funky fruity or heavily perfumed ones. This spray dry oil also works as a FABULOUS moisturizer. Use it in place of baby oil when getting out of the shower and you will have the softest skin you have ever felt.

Avon SKIN SO SOFT Soft & Sensual Roll-On Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
Best bet for your buck (literally)
Cheap doesn't mean poor quality in the case of this deodorant. This keeps me dry and odor free even in the middle of the summer, humid heat in Georgia. Even the clinical strength ones didn't do that for me. I like the light scent as well. The new version that helps prevent hair growth also works really well. It you don't order Avon, this is a good reason to start.

This lotion works really well on dry skin, especially in the winter. I like that it really doesn't have a scent and is so thick and creamy. On the downside, this thick and creamy lotion doesn't absorb particularly well (meaning fast) and tends to leave my skin feeling a bit greasy. After several minutes the greasy feeling is gone, but if you apply after a shower this translates to several minutes of waiting around in your birthday suit until you can put clothes on without getting lotion on them :-)

I didn't really believe this would dry in 60 seconds - how many polishes claim that but still smudges 15 minutes later? This little inexpensive bottle of joy lives up to its name. I was able to do most normal activities after a minute passed, and after two there was no movement even when I had to dig through my purse. As with the Lycra + line, the big bummer is the lack of colors. It has a couple blues, a really cool green, black, purples, and then the reds/pinks. I don't think I have ever seen more than 18-2 colors displayed at any store I have ever shopped where they sell Rimmel. Still, for three dollars this is one heck of a polish. It goes on really smooth and it's easy to get by with just one coat for a softer shade of the color. If you are an All You subscriber/reader (Wal-mart only sells this), pretty much every month they have at least one Rimmel Coupon for BOGO or a few bucks off any product.

This is hands down THE BEST sunscreen on the market. It goes on easily and dries quickly with no residue or greasy feeling. You don't feel like you are wearing anything. Makeup is easily applied afterwards. I have yet to see any breakouts, blemishes or redness and irritation from using this sunscreen, unlike other brands. It's not loaded with fragrance like pineapple or coconut which is a big bonus.

This liner is heaven sent for those of us who have yet to master the art of liquid liner and small applicators. The color goes down in a solid line and because it's just like a pen, it's easy to control where you are putting that line. Make sure you put this on before shadow, or you might as well use a pencil liner. Once it dries it stays in place without fading or flaking until you remove it with cleanser. Only two shades available - brown and black - which makes this loose a couple stars since there is NO variety.

This polish is actually pretty good. Minimal streaking with one coat, looked great with two. Their dark blue and purple rock. Chipping wasn't a problem since I am in the habit of adding a new top coat every other day or so. Quick drying but the darker colors can stain your nails and fingers, especially if you don't use a good base coat. Also doesn't have DHP, formaldehyde or toulene (the nasty chemicals the FDA doesn't want you to have in your polish or other makeup), so it's a good polish to get for tweens.
