I was first attracted to this lip balm because of the packaging and the name! There are various versions of these which come in different colours and flavours and are all lightly scented respective to their names.
I have Quenched which is in the light blue packaging with pink lettering. I find it to be just a standard balm with a light pleasant scent. I think the moisturizing power of this is average and it really just reminds me of other drugstore stick balms like Nivea or Blistex (maybe even less moisturizing?). So compared to those, I definitely think buying Quenched is slightly overpriced and would just stick to the cheaper alternatives which are half its price.
I would suggest you to check these out if you are looking for tinted lip balm at the drugstore because I don't recall any other tinted lip balm options. However, if you have really dry and chapped lips, I would I think you to pass these.

I was on the hunt for an anti-bacterial spray to clean my brushes after each use and this was one of the first ones I've found. It's definitely a bonus that it is fairly easy to find and accessible (Sephora) as well as averagely priced compared to other daily brush cleaners I looked into while researching. It cleans my brushes really well and the brushes dry really fast after each use! I would even trust forgoing deep cleaning my brushes for a few weeks. I would definitely recommend this spray! -

I received a few samples of these and I really enjoy them! My favourite flavour is the chocolate nut melody. They are delicious and I don't think they're too sweet like some other bars can be. I like the crunch in these and definitely satisfy my snack cravings. I will definitely be on a hunt for these next time I grocery shop! -

Out of the cleansing wipes I've tried, these are my favourite! I love the scent of these, it has a slight cucumber scent which I find to be very fresh. The towelettes are also just moist enough (not dry but not soaking with liquid). It removes all my makeup really well, even the waterproof stuff! -
Neutrogena All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

These are just average wipes to me. They remove most makeup just fine, but doesn't do a good job removing all my waterproof eye makeup (liquid eyeliner, mascara). If you're looking for a one-step cleanse, I wouldn't suggest these wipes. Something i don't like about these is I don't think they're moist enough-- I find them to be a little dry. -

I enjoy sheet masks, I think they're easy and takes a lot less effort than masks you have to rub onto your face and then wash off. They come in a variety of different scents that are targeted towards something different i.e. radiance or moisture and they're pretty cheap. These run about $2 a sheet but The Face Shop has promos sometimes and you can get more for cheaper. I think these do a good job and you can see a bit of results after using them (nothing miraculous). The only thing I don't enjoy about these is I think they contain a bit of alcohol which can possibly be drying but it's not that noticeable and only a minor tick. -

I always come back to this shampoo. It just works really well for my hair. It cleans without stripping all the moisture from my hair. It doesn't give my hair amazing volume, but I think its comparable to other volumizing shampoos I've tried.
My dad also loves this stuff. He has quite thin hair and he likes this shampoo because it gives his hair a bit of a boost, no extra hair fallout and his scalp isn't irritated by it.

I definitely prefer the Green Tea Scrub to the Apricot Scrub. It's more finely grained and it smells amazing! It does a good job of exfoliating but can be a little drying due to the salicylic acid so I wouldn't recommend using this daily. For the price and how well this works, I don't think anything can beat it! -

You can't go wrong with classic vaseline! It's cheap and work well. Provides moisture to my lips and usually makes my lips soft when they're dry. Although if you're going through super dryness that causes flakiness and irritation around the lips, I can't say it fixes that. I would also be careful of applying too much because it can make my lips look too wet and shiny. -

I've recently become obsessed with trying out lip balms because of an allergic reaction that has left my lips super flaky, dry and irritated.
I have the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Berry, it provides decent colour but I don't think it's much better than drugstore lip balms I've tried so it's hard to justify its hefty price tag. It provides decent moisture to my lips but I can't say it stops them from being chapped or flaky (nothing I've tried so far has done the job). It also has a faint chemical smell that I hate but once applied to the lips, you can't tell. The product itself is really soft, so it can be easily squished to the side of the packaging which I don't like. I think I would appreciate it more in a tube than a stick formula.
TLDR: Average product, definitely a splurge item.
