I had a hard time finding a deodorant I liked. I felt like they all made me smell weird! But after trying Dove a few years ago, I haven't changed back. This deodorant actually dries clear, doesn't give me hives from having strange fragrances in it, doesn't make me smell unnatural. I rarely feel like I need to reapply (only on those stressful, running around days when I'm ready to go out again at night).
I can almost always find coupons for it too, so it's a good deal if you wait to use those.

Mmm mmm mmm! This gloss smells so great. For a reasonable price, you have almost endless flavor possibilities. To be honest, there isn't that big of a difference between the different shades of pink/red, at least when applied on my lips. I own about 8 of these.
They make your lips look shiny and I think applying this gloss really brightens up your face and finishes off even a light make up routine.
If you are turned off by thick lip gloss, this is not the product for you. It can get a little goopy, and after a few hours I often find myself having to scrape the dried parts out of the corners of my lips. Despie the gooeyness, it does make your lips feel smooth while you're wearing it. I haven't noticed any moisturizing effect.
Love this stuff overall.

Watch out if you have sensitive skin. I had a friend that was prone to break outs recommend this product to me on the basis that it didn't irritate her skin or cause her to break out.
I used it a couple times and yuck, break out city! It smells nice, but it made my face itchier and more broken out.

Mmm, this stuff feels so great and smells great! I went to a Mary Kay party and was apprehensive about sampling this product. A lip treatment sounded so weird. But honestly, your lips feel so healthy after the mask that I forgot all my original hesitation and became a believer very quickly! A little bit goes a long way, so although it is painful to shell out so much money for such a tiny product, it will last you quite a while. This stuff in great for smoothing and moisturizing dry lips in the winter.
Downsides: overpriced and far from organic.

I really, really wanted to like this stuff. LUSH is a fantastic company, and as soon as a LUSH store opened in my mall, I ran right in and bought this after I had been drooling over their webpage for months.
However, I have to say, I was really grossed out by this stuff. The smell is fake chocolatey and it is really over-powering. I was hoping for a hot chocolate like scent, but it came across as chemical chocolate.
I can't rate the effectiveness of this product too effectively because I was too grossed out by the smell to use it for very long.
Sensitive noses be warned!

I admit it, I'm a lip gloss and balm addict, so naturally I've had my share of Burt's Bees.
There are different varieties of this stuff, and on the occasion I accidentally bought the honey version, I was nauseated by the smell for a week before I got used to it. However, considering the price, there aren't really any better balms you can buy! Fairly cheap, the balm is rather thick so you don't have to use a ton, average staying power (although you may want to put it on again and again just to feel the nice texture on your lips!)
I highly recommend the balm with SPF. It turns your lips white on its own, but you can always throw a gloss on over it, and then you are fabulous looking AND protected from the sun.
