I've been hearing about fibre extension mascara (ie. 3D Fibre Lash) for some time now, and upon googling it, I was astounded by the price O.O There was NO way I was forking out that kind of money for a MASCARA.
I saw Maybelline Illegal Length FIbre Extension mascara at Walmart last week, and I picked it up on the assumption that it gave the same benefits of the more expensive kind...and it DOES! Today was the first day I put it on, and it made a HUGE difference compared to my usual mascara (currently, I've been using the Bombshell duo mascara from Maybelline). No matter how much I curled my lashes, the mascara would usually weigh them down and they'd be straight again - even after curling them AFTER application. With Illegal Length, I just needed to curl them ONCE and they held the curl ALL DAY :D And I could actually SEE each individual lash! I don't mind the skinny wand as it's easy to handle and get into the very corners.
As for the "waterproof" part, I didn't find it all that difficult to remove with eye makeup remover pads.
I think this will be my new HG of mascara, and I plan to stock up if it goes on sale! It works, and it's reasonably priced! Thanks, Maybelline! PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS ONE!!!

Eucerin Calming Itch-Relief Lotion
I have bouts of eczema (from mild to severe), and when I get scratching, it's hard for me to stop :( I've tried Aveeno Eczema Care, but it burned and didn't really relieve the itch. I just got Eucerin Calming Itch-Relief today and so far, it's been... +
I have bouts of eczema (from mild to severe), and when I get scratching, it's hard for me to stop :( I've tried Aveeno Eczema Care, but it burned and didn't really relieve the itch. I just got Eucerin Calming Itch-Relief today and so far, it's been better than the Aveeno one.
It stung for a few seconds after I applied it, but once it stopped, I didn't feel itchy for awhile afterwards. And it wasn't as greasy - with Aveeno, I had to watch where I put my arm (my eczema is currently on my elbow/forearm) :S
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this product. Nothing was working for me (not Gold Bond, not hydrocortisone cream, not Aveeno, not even coconut oil), but this one so far is doing what it's supposed to do :) I wish it wasn't so expensive for such a small bottle...

I actually use this on my face - I have very dry patches on my cheeks that other lotions only seemed to emphasize. This cream actually helps smooth them out. My face is combination/oily, so I only used it on the dry parts (cheeks/chin) and not on my nose or forehead, which are on the oily side. It didn't break me out and I only needed a small dab to cover the problem areas.
Overall, a fairly good inexpensive "face" cream :)

Jergens Natural Glow +Firming Daily Moisturizer
I love this product. It allows me to control the level of "tan" that I want, and it works well on my yellow-toned Asian skin :)

I love, love, LOVE the smell of this body butter (and the matching perfume oil, too, for that matter!)! It's light and fresh and it reminds me of when I was younger and having the time of my life :) Like others, the only downfall of this is the packaging - it's kind of big and cumbersome, and not very travel-friendly. But I just put some in a travel lotion bottle, and I'm good to go! It's a bit pricey, but I love Body Shoppe, so I'll spend the extra money for this scent :) -

I never thought to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly until I was in the hospital after giving birth to my oldest son. I forgot my lip balm, so the nurse gave me some Vaseline and it did the trick! Ever since then, I've been using it as my night time lip balm. A small jar of this goes a very long way, and I love the handy flip top - especially convenient when using it for my youngest son's skin irritations! And the price makes it well worth it :) -
Blistex Lip Medex
One of the best lip balms out there! My lips tend to get VERY dry, and I use this overnight - I SLATHER it on (amazingly, it doesn't get all over my pillowcase!), then in the morning, I wipe it off and exfoliate my lips with a toothbrush. It makes... +

My lips tend to get VERY dry, and I use this overnight - I SLATHER it on (amazingly, it doesn't get all over my pillowcase!), then in the morning, I wipe it off and exfoliate my lips with a toothbrush. It makes my lips so smooth :)
This is definitely a must-have!

Old Navy Flip Flops
I live in these flip flops! I bought 2 pairs over 2 years ago, and they're still in great condition :) Great quality for the price! I need to go back and get a couple more colours ;P

I love Mandarin buffet! We always go there for special occasions and they never disappoint. One tip: always make a reservation, otherwise you'll be waiting forever for a table!
The selection of food is always good, however, I wish they would incorporate Greek and Indian, seeing as how they already do roast beef and regular salads and other non-Chinese foods.
Can't wait to go back :)

I use these as part of my weight management routine, in addition to exercise and diet, of course.
One tip that I cannot stress enough is to take it at least 5 mins into your meal - taking it without a meal (or too early) will cause nausea (from the green tea, I'm assuming). I took it once without breakfast and I felt so sick :S
But it is a good vitamin supplement if you're watching your weight. I've been taking these for 3 months, and I've llost 15 lbs (and, like I said, in addition to exercise and diet) :)
