Super fun hand sanitizers, like all Bath and Body products, they are known for their ever changing scents and new collections. You can collect hundreds through the years as they have a new fragrance every week!
The formula is very effective, sanitizes without water and leaves no sticky residue, it evens feel moisturizing.
My only complaint is how strong some fragrances are, if you use this in the bus or somewhere closed, everyone will turn around. Even after cleaning my hands with water, I can still smell the sanitizer, so make sure you try these at the store and pick a scent you like, 'cause it'll stay with you.

A great soap with nothing like it on the market. It is a mild cleanser and deeply moisturizing, with a unique scent that's refreshing and comforting at the same time.
There are some problems with this soap though, over the years, the bars just keep on shrinking so you're getting less product and the bars aren't cheap to begin with compared to Ivory or Irish Spring for example.
The original formula also melts quite quickly in the shower since it's so soft. If you're someone likes squeeky clean skin and need to be fully "de-greased", Dove won't do it. In cases where I have applied waterproof sunscreen all over my body after a day at the beach or used a deep body butter, Dove can't cut through the grease and I wasn't able to remove the sunscreen at all!

I received this for Christmas as part of a set sold at Walmart. I've used Burt's Bees before and appreciate their natural approach to skin care, however my lips were in serious need of therapy and this balm didn't help much.
It smells mostly coconuty with a hint of pear, glides on smooth, but not thick enough which is why I had to re-apply several times throughout the day. It's not deeply moisturizing and if your lips are severely chapped or wind burned like mine, you will need something else.
I would recommend this lip balm for light use, such as a in summer or if your lips are already normal.

This is a classic and timeless fragrance from Fruits and Passion's collection. They have changed their packaging a lot through the years but this eau de toilet is still available.
If you love fresh fruity and citrusy scents, this is for you. It's universally pleasing without being too sweet or tart.
It's a summer fragrance as the staying power isn't the strongest, but what's good is that you can spray is all over your body and carry it for touch ups throughout the day. Last time I purchased this, it was around 18$ a bottle, not too expensive.

A classic baby lotion with a classic and recognizable scent. I think most people buy it because they trust the brand and love the smell. I use this on myself and find that it makes a great moisturizer if you don't have very dry skin and want something that absorbs fast. It's light, non greasy and can be used year round.
Like others may have complained about though is how strong the scent is, it smells through your clothes and stays on you for a quite a while. It's been proven and tested on babies though and with how long it's been around, I doubt this is an issue for sensitive skin, just comes down to personal preference.
They do make this lotion in a few other scents like nightime lavender, honey, and unscented.

An expensive premium looking and feeling baby product from France.
The lotion absorbs well and super fast, I can use it on myself and notice the scent lingers all day. It could actually be a little too strong for infants, it also permeated through my clothes and i could smell it for days later. Woah!
So if you're a fan of the scent, this is awesome, great staying power.

L'Oreal Paris Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo for Extra Softness, Strawberry Smoothie, 9-Fluid Ounce

As for it's cleaning and detangling effectiveness, this shampoo is top notch, definitely fun to lather and easy to comb out.

An expensive product that doesn't act as well as regular foot filer and exfoliator. The problem is the file on this is not coarse enough or the motor is too weak such that if you apply the slightest bit of pressure, it stops spinning.
Whereas if you use a handheld filer, you can apply the pressure and intensity you desire.
Amope still works, just not as well as I'd like to. I feel like this should be a product "as seen on tv" and sold for 19.99$ not 60$!

I received this product as part of the review club, it came with antoher Garnier skin active product (brightening moisturizer). MIcellar waters seem to be all the rage lately, and they are a relatively new product on the North American market but have been around for years in Europe. Kind of like how a few years back, everyone was coming out with BB creams that have been used for decades in Asia.
This water acts and feels like a toner, or make up remover. It just doesn't have the same refreshing and cooling sensation as a toner would since there is no alcohol. It does a pretty good cleaning my skin, ridding it of oils and impurities without drying out. I personally prefer that refreshing tingle I get from a toner and like the squeeky clean feeling so I'm not sure this is the best match for me, but every now and then I would definitely use this. It's perfect for drier climates and sensitive skin.

I received this product for free as part of the review campaign. I don't normally wear foundation because I find it too thick or cakey so I was excited to try something that has more of a gel formula. It went on easily, with even coverage, especially with the blending brush that it came with. However the brush is a foam dome that soaks up a lot of the product so you need to use a larger quantity. It feels kind of gimmicky, a marketing ploy to get people to finish their tubes faster. -
