My absolute favorite product to combat the cold weather! My lips chap so easily that I'm always applying and reapplying chapstick. This product actually stays on for some time, which saves me a few applications during the day.
I love the smell and taste of it and the fact that it looks like really pretty lip gloss when you apply a bit more than needed just for moisturizing.
This is also great for repairing cuticles, soothing sunburns and cracked hands (feet too probably, haven't tried). I wash my hands a million times a day at work and my knuckles don't survive the day without an application of this.
I must say I bought it mostly because I loved the package - I was in need of a pick me up and the flowers on the tin really did it for me. I'm glad that the product inside is great too. Another great thing about the tin that I can just press it against my lips without putting my fingers in it every time, which is great because it saves time and keeps germs out of the product.
I've been warned that keeping this product in your purse during the summer might result in it melting everywhere but I've yet to experience this myself.
Lastly, even though it's $9 at Sephora which is probably 2-3 chapsticks anywhere else, there is actually a much larger amount of product in the tin than any other lip balm/chapstick product out there so it's absolutely worth it!

I received this in the Goodie Bag and was excited to try it!
I must admit what was first excitement quickly turned into major disappointment.
The Good
I like the way the brush looks, I'll be using it to apply other products.
Truly waterproof - I've worn it at times when I knew tears would be unavoidable and it stayed put through major waterworks.
Cool package - I quite like the hot pink tube.
The Bad
It is impossible to take off!! Even when applied over a regular mascara, takes a couple days to get rid of it. (All other waterproof mascaras I've tried come off much easier when there is a coat of regular mascara applied underneath)
It clumps my lashes together leaving me with weird spider looking sticks attached to my eyelids - this has never happened with any other mascara I've used.
Smells really weird.
By the end of the day my eyes start to hurt and water with this product on, which is very unusual because I generally don't have this issue with other eye makeup products.
Overall, can't wait to find a new waterproof mascara so I can toss this one!

These pencils have been a staple in my makeup case for years! I think I'm on my 3rd black one, I just love them so much. These lasted through my phase of piling on the eyeliner instead of eyeshadow with minimal creasing and now that I use these to create a much more elegant, softer look they work great too. I picked up a brown one as well and tried some other colours over the years. Overall, adore this product! Especially when it goes on sale at PharmaPlus - 1.99 or 2.99 the last time I bought them! -

Just like most of the other reviewers, I too received it for Product Review.
I loved that the package showed up in a cute box with tissue paper and a loofa inside. I thought that was a really sweet touch on behalf of the sender.
I used it for the first time after coming home from an 8 hour shift at work. As soon as the scent filled my shower I was sold on the product. It smells amazing, so relaxing, I fell in love. The texture is amazing, feels like it's coating your skin in lotion that isn't too gooey. You don't need a lot of it, it foams up nicely so I'm guessing it will last a while.
After using the product for over a week I've noticed that my skin feels a lot smoother. Generally I have to apply body lotion after I shower to keep my skin soft but I didn't need to with this one so one step less to worry about before bed time. I would recommend saving this one for night time use to relax, I prefer more "perky" scents in the morning to wake me up.
Overall, my skin feels more hydrated after this body wash and in comparison to other "intense moisture" products I've tried, this one works the best.
I'd recommend this product to anyone who wants softer skin, especially in the winter.
It doubled as shaving cream very well too, I never use shaving cream so I substitute either conditioner or body wash for it and this one was great (didn't clog the razor!).
The only downside I see is that I can't use this in the morning, the amazing smell relaxes me and makes me sleepy.
Overall, LOVE IT!

I got this bright yellow tube in my ShopCrawl gift bag. I love it! It's great for every day use.
The good:
Great separation, no clumping
Nice smell although it gets weaker as you use it
Bright yellow tube (love it!)
Easy to apply, not messy
The not too great:
Rubs off easily
Not waterproof or water resistant
Need a few coats to make an impact
Overall, it's great for a quick makeup job to run out the door, but if it's anything important, I use a lash primer underneath it, to build up volume and length.

I got this as part of my fabulous swag bag during the ShopCrawl and I adore this! It smells like summer! Doesn't really last as long as I'd like it to, but it's a pretty compact bottle that I can throw it in my purse any day. It also works wonders as a room spray. Gives my room a very bright, happy smell that puts me in a good mood. Very girly I must admit, but even for a non-girly girl like me it works.
I'd recommend this for anyone who is looking for an inexpensive delicious summer scent that brightens up the gloomiest of days.

I love how this smells - my mom and I share it now. I got the one that goes on as a serum - no alcohol on your skin and leaves the spot where you spray it silky smooth. Stays on much longer than regular perfume. The only downfall is that I can't spray it in the air and then run through it like I normally do. Also, don't dare get it on your clothes, leaves an oily stain, although it washed out.
Overall, I love this scent - fresh, girly but not overly so, makes me feel pretty and I get compliments on it every time I wear it.

This has been mine and my mom's secret weapon for years! She was the one who introduced me to it and I used it for years without questioning what else is out there. In the past year I experimented with other mascaras - Smashbox, MAC, annabelle, maybellene and nothing came even close to comparing with this one. None of the above gave me as much awesome volume, length and thickness as this one. I use both regular and waterproof formulas. Since the waterproof one is really hard to remove I usually put a coat of regular underneath and then go over with the waterproof formula over top. This makes it a lot easier to remove it at the end of the day without scrubbing.
Funny that some people note clumps - I never saw any, but my friend who tried it after my recommendation found major clumping too. I guess it depends on your lashes...
Overall, I'm staying very loyal to this product from now on!

I got this as part of the Product Review Club - thanks so much!!!
Just like the cucumber one, I expected it to taste like pomegranate, it didn't. Regardless, smells amazing and I've been using the two interchangeably since I got them in the mail. I keep one in my bag another on my desk. I can't pick a favorite between the two - they are both the same with the exception of the smell. I love that they are non sticky and leave my lips feeling bare but still protected from the wind and my biting habits.
I love the tiny package, and the fact that it stands up straight on my desk ( that way i don't lose it among all the papers!)
My friend tried the pomegranate one too, loved it and went out and bought her own tube.

So as part of the review club I got to test out the cucumber and pomegranate flavours. I loved both!!!
I expected the cucumber one to taste like real veggies, it doesn't, doesn't really taste like anything. Smells amazing though and most importantly smells real. None of that fake stuff other companies make. It's so light that I can't feel that it's on my lips and works like a charm. I have a bad tendency to bite my lips when I stress (which is most of the time) and this has been my life saver for the last week.
It's also quite kissable - my guy hates kissing me when I have anything on my lips, but he didn't even notice this was on!
I'd recommend this to anyone suffering from seriously chapped lips and anyone who loves natural products. The package is the standard softlips tube - slimmer than the average lip balm package so it's tiny enough to shove into even the most overstuffed tiny purse.
