We always have this on hand in our home, especially for burns (both kitchen and sunburns), as well as for insect bites. The lotion soothes on contact and reduces itchiness and swelling rather quickly. It's also great for preventing infections from scratches and/or cuts. It does smell a little medicinal, but it's a tolerable scent. Just make sure to wash your hands after application, otherwise, you can use a cotton pad to dab it onto your affected area. You do need to be careful when pouring out the product since it is more liquid than it is creamy. Since the bottle doesn't have a pump, it's easy to squeeze out too much at once. A few drops is more than enough to provide relief. A must have for any first-aid kit. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. Nivea has always been my preferred brand for lip balms and I am never disappointed with the results. This "Essential" formula is basic, without any particular scent/taste or shimmer effect. It includes shea butter and Panthenol which I find really help keep lips hydrated throughout the day. I did reapply in the afternoon after eating lunch, but after a few hours of use, my lips still felt smooth without a hint of dryness. If you want a lip balm that does the job without any fancy additions, this is the one for you. Very affordable price, as well, so you can keep one at home and one at work. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I love this anti-perspirant! I think Nivea is one of the best brands for effective deodorants as they leave you feeling fresh all day long and really deliver at masking odour. This particular "Protect and Care" formula did just that. It was so gentle on my skin. Some deodorants have my armpits itching before the day is through, but not this one. I don't know about the 48 hour claim, as I do like to wash myself clean every day and reapply, but I do feel like it does last 24 hours. It was also a safe bet for my clothing as it did not leave any white marks on them. Very fresh and pleasant scent. Highly recommended! -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. Although I was sent a sample of this cream, it's been a product I've been using for years. I love how effective it is at keeping skin hydrated and it is what I routinely use in the evening to make sure I wake up to hydrated skin. I use it on elbows, knees, around the nose and mouth area, which are usually the driest spots for me. I also have used it before applying makeup and it helps for easier application. It has never given me pimples and does not irritate my skin. Non-greasy but thick and emollient enough to really keep the moisture in. The tin container is thin enough to slip into your purse and carry with you however, make sure your hands are clean before dipping your fingers into the pot. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. These facial wipes are meant to help remove makeup, even stubborn waterproof mascara and leave your skin feeling moisturized with the addition of Nivea Crème. I did like the way makeup easily glided off but I found myself rubbing quite a while at my eyes to remove the mascara. I don't think I would rely on these entirely to keep my skin clean, but as a last minute resort while travelling or on lazy days, these can work great. Something I did not appreciate was the scent and I do think that this is what made my sensitive skin tingle after using it. I contains alcohol, but I'm not sure if the scent was derived from this or the addition of Nivea Crème. Either way, it is unneeded. I'm glad I got to try them out, but I don't think I would repurchase them considering I have used other wipes that are fragrance and alcohol free. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I really liked the convenience of this all-in-one facial cleansing lotion in that it allowed me to both cleanse my face of makeup and moisturized it at the same time. It made my routine somewhat easier as I could skip the moisturizing step, however, I still felt that I needed to cleanse more than once in order to feel that my skin was completely free of makeup. The cleansing lotion does do a good job at loosening up foundation and heavy eye makeup but the directions advise you to remove it with a cotton pad without rinsing afterwards. I still felt I needed to fully remove any leftover residue, so I did wash my face with the cleansing lotion a second time, massaging it with water and after rinsing, I acquired the clean desired feel I wanted. My skin did feel smooth and soft to the touch. After using it for a week's time, I was also able to notice less dry patches. It's definitely an innovative concept in skin care. I also didn't mind the scent but it reminded me of how a standard lotion would smell - nothing out of the ordinary. -

Not the best flip flops out there, but for $1.00, what can you expect? They are okay for bringing to the beach, but I mostly just wear mine around the house. They tend to break easily but I can usually get 4-5 months of continuous wear before tossing them out. For such a low price, it's not so bad. I wouldn't pay full price for them though. They come in a variety of colors for you to choose from, so you have lots of choice to match your outfits. -

Such a simple toy, yet very important for a child's development. It helps with shape and primary color recognition, as well as fine motor skills, guiding little hands to try and fit the shape through the identical slot. Once all the shapes are in, just pull the ball apart and shake out the pieces. We had this as kids growing up and we loved it. It has been passed down to every sibling. Great for babies and toddlers. -

This is a very affordable brand of Omega-3 fish oil. I purchased the 180 capsule count at Costco for about 8 dollars on sale. I notice that they don't leave a fishy aftertaste, but I do make sure to take them during my meal. I have to say, though, the capsules are huge! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to swallow it since I do have trouble with larger vitamins, but since it is in a softgel format, it just glides easily down with some water. Great for cardiovascular health and after taking them for about 2 months, I've noticed I have more energy and feel more alert. This is the only thing that has changed in my diet. I will definitely continue to consume these. -

These chocolates are always a hit during the Easter holidays. They are shaped like little, pastel coloredl eggs with a crispy exterior shell that cracks through to a sweet, chocolate morsel. The combination of textures is what keeps you coming back for more. Delicious and great for filling Easter baskets too! I also have used them for decorating cupcakes and baking cookies. However, my favorite way to eat them is straight out of the bag! -
