Most people immediately think that waxing = pain, but these days I can't believe how sophisticated and practical waxing has gotten. These Nair wax strips are amazing, no need to even heat them with your hands, in fact, they work better cold. However, in order for the process to be completely painless, I think it has a lot to do with technique, so here are a few tips: 1. Make sure the strips are cold, don't warm them, 2. When separating them, open them fast, 3. When pulling the wax, do it quickly and on the opposite direction of hair growth, 4. You can cut the strips (before unwrapping them) to a custom size, I personally use eyebrow scissors for that, 5. Keep in mind that the wipe provided in the box is very oily, it's literal oil, so keep some normal facial wipes around to clean your hands after use and avoid messes (those oil wipes are extremely effective to remove any left over wax by the way). In general, it's a pretty straightforward process, just make sure to follow the instructions and recommendations properly, but yeah these wax strips are VERY gentle and perfect for sensitive skin. I'm Latina, of the hairy variety lol, so I know what I'm talking about here, Nair is definetly a brand I trust and recommend, they always come up with new and innovative products that are quite helpful and comfortable to use.

Honestly, as soon as I saw that the product was a transparent gel, I thought it was yet another one of those silicon primers, which I'm not a fan of, since they feel quite suffocating on the skin. However, I was pleasantly surprised after I applied this primer, it immediately melted into my skin and it felt as if it had turned into water but while also sticking to my skin, if that makes any sense. It was a very unique sensation, I don't think I have ever tried a product like this before. Afterwards, you are left with very silky skin, which is perfect to apply makeup, though I think it would be even better to apply a gel moisturizer before the primer if your skin is very dry, but still, this primer does an amazing job on its own. I like using powders when I do my makeup, so my foundation is a powder and it did well with this primer, which helped a lot with skin texture and pores. I would say this primer is similar to silicon primers that control texture and pores, but way lighter and hydrating, it doesn't create a heavy or greasy film that clogs pores, it's like a major upgrade from those silicon primers, I think even better than cream primers. You would have to try it to see what I mean, trust me, you haven't tried anything like this before. The only thing that I believe needs improvement would be the packaging, I think a more flexible soft plastic tube with a narrow opening would be more efficient. Also, a little bit of product won't cover your entire face, you need to use more, but I guess that's just due to the nature of the product and how it's made. This is still an amazing primer though, I had truly given up on finding a good primer, so I think this will become my new holy grail and trust me it's hard to impress me. I recommend this so much, you need to try it at least once, my make up stays put for many hours as well, so it's not just the silky application, it also helps makeup last, just give it a try!

I hadn't tried a body cream so rich in a while, especially one that has so many natural ingredients. I tend to get overwhelmed by regular body creams that don't really nourish your skin, they only relieve the dryness for a little while and have a very strong fragrance. However, this restorative body cream delivers great results and truly helps your skin to remain moisturized and slowly heal again. I was very impressed with how the flakey dry spots on my skin, immediately became moisturized after application without any stinging or uncomfortable sensations, since this cream is not irritating at all. It's also not greasy and the fragrance is amazing, it smells very natural but never overwhelming. I would definetly recommend this product.

I'm usually very careful with any body wash that says "energizing" because they are usually very strong and have that "fresh/cool" sensation that basically feels like someone dumped a cold bucket of water on you. However, this is the very first time I see an energizing body wash that is NOT irritating, doesn't have the fresh/cool feeling, but instead smells absolutely amazing, nourishes your skin AND hydrates. I had some very dry spots due to the heating inside my home and because of the cold outside and this body wash managed to calm those down. I was so surprised because I have tried so many moisturizers and none of them had any lasting effects, but this body wash hydrated those very dry spots the entire day. I'm so amazed I think I have found a holy grail, I think everyone should try it at least once, especially anyone with dry skin. I definetly fell in love after the first use.

This sealant is great! I can tell it's good quality right away, there's no bothersome smell, dries quickly and works on humid surfaces! We have been having some issues with our balcony glass doors, the winds get very strong in the 17th floor where we live and we can feel some of the wind coming inside, so we were looking for a strong sealant, especially since it's winter now and the cold causes the window to get wet all day, so it becomes harder to seal anything. However, this product worked great, it was easy to use, didn't smell like anything, was able to apply it on a cold and humid surface and it dried quite fast. I'm actually impressed and in the process to buy some more to now seal all the windows in the apartment. I love this, really solve a big problem we had and we can now be warm during winter.

I really like this handwash, it's very nourishing and doesn't dry out my hands or wrists like other products. The smell is great too, very fitting for winter time. As for the actual washing, it works just fine, I would say not too strong and not too weak, it has a perfect balance that still cleans your hands while hydrating them. However, maybe it could be a bit stronger and create more suds, but in general I love this hand wash, it's quite a luxurious and nourishing experience. I catch myself smelling my hands all the time now!

I absolutely loved this hand cream. It smells heavenly, so it was a very relaxing and therapeutic experience just applying it. The product itself was great as well, my hands were softer and nourished, there was no irritation even though my hands were very dry, it just felt healing. I wish it would absorb a bit faster though and maybe for the tube to be plastic, but other than that, this cream is quite awesome and I would totally recommend it. Now I wonder if there is a smaller size to carry in my purse, I feel like this is something that should be used regularly for better results, though it's also fitting to have a moment of luxury and pampering.

I love Sambucol products, but specially these gummies! I definitely feel more eager to take Sambucol in this format, instead of the capsules, I mean the gummies taste delicious, just like candy and work nicely to shorten the common cold and I feel like they might help with prevention as well. I think sambucol gummies should be an essential product during winter mostly, it really works! - I received this product for free in exchange for my review.

At first I thought this pan was like the regular ones from popular brands, but then I realized this is very high quality and worth every dollar. I mean even the materials feel different, there's some weight to it, looks very durable and the rubber handle is very useful, that's actually one of the best features by the way, aside from obviously the fact that absolutely nothing sticks to this pan. You can even use little oil and still, nothing will stick, I absolutely love it and I will continue buying this brand, it's definitely a good investment - I received this item for free in exchange for my review. -

I feel like I finally found the most gentle body scrub ever! You can barely feel it, yet it still exfoliates and cleanses your skin. At first, I wasn't too excited because it didn't smell like much, but then I remembered this is Aveeno, so that's actually a good thing, you can expect zero irritation, then once I applied the product on my skin, I noticed that there weren't many scrubbing beads/pieces in it, so I started wondering if it would really work as a scrub, but yeah it does and it's also very gentle, doesn't scratch your skin. I have used regular body scrubs before. Some are too creamy, some too scratchy, some way too oily, which I don't like, but this Aveeno scrub has the perfect balance, no strong or overwhelming smells, not oily at all, no irritation. I totally recommend it! - I received this product for free in exchange for my review. -
