This lip balm looks like a glue stick, but it is my salvation when it comes to the winter months. It has a very light feel to it and the wonderful scent of cocoa butter. I use it mostly on my lips but when my face gets wind chapped, this is a great solution. And since it fits in my pocket, I always make sure to have some when I'm going to hit the slopes.
The only problem that I have with it is the constant need for reapplication. Because it doesn't have any wax or petrolatum products, it tends to wear off very easily.

Dr. Maimone and his staff were absolutely amazing! I had to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed at once and I was able to make it to a holiday party the following night. The whole surgery took less than an hour, I didn't even know that it had happened, and I had NO swelling what-so-ever. I did have self-inflicted complications, a dry socket due to my smoking, but they were able to get me into the office within an hour of my call and made it very clear that I should never hesitate to call if I had any further problems. I was in minimal pain and felt that I got the best treatment available.
The office is beautiful and decorated in a bed and breakfast style that feels very cozy. The staff makes sure that you are their number one priority. If I ever have the need for an oral surgeon again, I wouldn't even think about going anywhere else.

This is the ONLY product that I've found that lives up to all of its claims. It does in fact "kill" zits overnight and makes those really stubborn ones seem much less apparent. The only problem I have is with the application. Since you are not supposed to shake it, I find that the typical Q-Tip isn't long enough to reach the pink calamine and talc combo at the bottom. I suggest getting the long cotton-swabs from either the cosmetics counter or the kind that are used in doctors' offices. Either way, it's a small inconvenience to pay for a miracle product. -

I got a sample of this rich hand cream after spending entirely too much money on one of my LUSH spending sprees. Let me tell you, I would've been more than happy to pay for it after having tried it out. I obsessively wash my hands and use hand sanitizer, but using this even my manicurist comments on how soft my hands are. Not even housework can dry my hands out now! -
LUSH Mange Too Massage Bar

The LUSH website claims that this is one of their tastier products and while I disagree, that would be the only complaint that I have! LUSH's massage bars are all fantastic. This is one of the larger ones and, in my own opinion, one of the richer ones. It's great for moisturizing post-shower or for having your significant other give you a back rub, especially during the winter months when skin can get extra dry. Use after shaving for smooth and shiny legs.
As for the smell, I find it pretty benign. My boyfriend thinks it's smells like Play-Doh. I think it's a matter of personal preference, as it is with a lot of LUSH products.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
For the price, this product can not be beat. I used to live for Lancome, but this leaves less of a greasy residue and gets the job done.

LUSH products are a god send and this one was my first. My friends gave me this bath bomb as a Christmas present, and when I emerged from the bath, my skin was the softest that it had ever been. I didn't even need moisturizer. For all of you bath takers out there, I truly recommend this product. And it's gentle scent is great any time of day. -

For me, this is a year round essential. I have very, very fair skin, so most bronzers just end up looking very fake and streaky on me, but not this one! After I put on my tinted moisturizer, I brush this on my cheekbones, forehead and nose for that out-in-the-sun look and finish off with a touch of blush on the apples of my cheeks. And for $1 (USD) it simply can not be beat! -

This website has quickly become one of my favorites -- EVERYTHING is $1.00 (USD). This blush is a great everyday blush. I apply it with a contour brush and the slight shimmer is great, especially for the holiday season when everyone wants to sparkle just a little bit more. It always looks natural and never streaky. The perfect shade for almost all skin tones. Believe me, I am VERY pale and if something looks natural on me, then it can look natural on anyone. -

This is a very handy kit to keep in your bag with you at all times. It includes a mini toothbrush, along with two different whitening toothpastes all packaged in a see-through case. Sephora describes them best by saying: "AM: Lively essential oils of lemon, lime, orange, and mandarin, are infused with uplifting peppermint for a natural morning rush. PM: Soothing essential oils of chamomile and lavender, valerian root, and delicious vanilla make this the ideal relaxing night time therapy." This is a must-have. I love it for those times when I am rushing to dinner straight from work or really just need to freshen-up in the middle of the day. Plus, it's great to have on hand for those impromptu sleepovers! -
