I completely ADORE my Sigg. It goes everywhere with me. Like the last reviewer, I also bought mine when Nalgenes were pulled and I don't think I will ever regret this purchase. Sure, the bottles are pricey...but they have designs to suit pretty much anyones taste - from conservative to ultra funky. The contents never taste stale and in the month I've had it, it hasn't taken on any odd smells. I resisted the move to a metal bottle for a long time and now I regret not changing over sooner.
I bought both myself and my hunny 1 litre bottles. He loves his just as much as i love mine...and even said "Don't expect me to have just one of these" ... I fully anticipate myself buying a second one shortly to keep at the office.

Glysomed Hand Cream
I keep a tube on my desk at work and it is the only thing that keeps my hands soft in the winter. I also love that it isn't tested on animals.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector
I really wanted to love this hand cream, but I couldn't get past the smell of it. I liked the consistency of it and it felt great on, but in the end I need my products to either be unscented or to smell delicious...and this just didn't.

After reading some raves about Kiehl's both here on on Make Up Alley, I decided to see if I could get my hands on some of their products, here in Calgary. Imagine my glee to find that Holt Renfrew has a Kiehl's coutner. I headed right over that very noon hour!
I have been very very impressed with the quality of their products. Their lip balm is already at the top of my list of new addicitions! I was impressed with the customer service at the counter (you never know what to expect from counters in big dept stores) - the girl was very knowledgable and, when they were out of a cream I wanted to buy, she offered me several samples to hold me over until the tube could be ordered.
I love everything I have gotten there so far and am finding myself planning my payday's around what products I hope to buy :) I think they may just have a lifelong customer out of me.

Wow. Rarely does a foot cream humble me and make me want to worship it...but Soul Owner certainly comes very close. I use a foot cream every night to soften my typically rough feet. Over the years, I have used everything from the traditional Mint creams to rich, emolient body butters...nothing tackled the roughness...and then I met Soul Owner.
Within one week, my feet were softer and smoother than they have ever been...I am almost done my first jar and am seeking out bulk supplies of the stuff on ebay because I honestly don't know if I can live without it.
The cream, itself, smells like lime and is a nice departure from the more minty smelling creams I have used int he past. It is a thick lotion and you certainly don't need much to coat your feet with it and feel the benefits. The jar says to wash your hands immediately after applying and I completely agree with this, because if you have any open cuts at all, you will FEEL this stuff when it finds them...but that is a small step to take for the benefits this cream gives. At last I have found my holy grail of foot creams.

I bought this to use in conjunction with the Face Doctor soap and was very disappointed with both - from my review of the soap: They say that acne and eczema sufferers have often found relief of their symptoms after using this soap. I bought it because I have suffered with bad acne for many years and thought it might be my HG of face soaps. How wrong I was. Within a few days, I suddenly found my skin plagued with deep, painful cysts. I didn't want to admit it was the soap so I kept using it. It made things worse and within a few days, I gave up the soap. It wasn't worth the pain.
The cream, itself, feels really greasy when applied and it smells funny - which is probably what the oil smells like.

Carol's Daughter Kizzi Hair Pomade

I bought this, thinking that I could use it more like a hair wax - to define my bangs. Even after reading the tin and seeing that it is more for defining waves etc, I tried it on my bangs...it is too greasy for that. Far too greasy. I can see it being fabulous for making finger waves, though...something that needs to be sleek and smooth and I will save it for those special occasions that I need that look. -
TiGi Bed Head Manipulator
Love it! This made my hair do exactly what I wanted it to (separate and define piecey chunks) and it held it that way all day with just an extra spritz of hairspray! The smell is a bit overpowering at first (think Pina Colada), but goes away... +
Love it! This made my hair do exactly what I wanted it to (separate and define piecey chunks) and it held it that way all day with just an extra spritz of hairspray! The smell is a bit overpowering at first (think Pina Colada), but goes away within seconds of using it. The jar is going to probably last me for years - I only had to tap my fingers on the top of the stuff to get enough. As for the texture, it is kind of like the inside of a roasted marshmallow...taffy-like and gooey. -

I have used alot of scrubs over the years and they all tend to make me feel like my face has been sandblasted...not great for someone with acne-prone, sensitive skin. I think I have found my holy grail in this exfoliating wash by Philosophy. My skin has never felt so smooth and nice. I come away from the sink just wanting to brush my fingers over my face.
The true test for me, though, was that I started using it right after I noticed a huge cystic pimple on my chin and I noticed a huge difference in how fast that pimple cleared up. It was nice to not have to suffer as long.
