I am a devout user of Blstex Lip Medex, buy last time I stocked up on it, I decided to live a little dangerously and try this balm too.
Verdict? I love it! I keep mine at my desk and use it daily, actually I've almost finished my tube. That speaks volumes, as I rarely ever finish lip products (other than my beloved Lip Medex.) The Nivea balm is lightly honey scented but is tasteless. It gives a tiny bit of shine, and works wonders on its own or under lip stick. It isn't heavy feeling on, but it does work, and is gentle on dry, damaged lips.

If you've used MAC Paint Pots you'll love these. They set, stay where you put them for hours and give your eyes a gorgeous glow. Also, Smashbox offers a larger range of permanent colours (yay for options!) and you won't have to fight to get the shade you want most. I chose the shade Quartz: a soft rose gold. It's beautiful on it's own. but it can also be used under powdered shadows.
I know I'll be picking up a few more shades. These are just that good! A definite recommend from me :D

Marcelle Soothing Eye Make-up Remover Gel
This product isn't bad, per-say, it just isn't right for me. The biggest issue I have with it is the texture. When I bough it I thought that a gel was a neat idea... neat idea in theory, but not in practice. It is cold, and well cold and gooey! I... +
This product isn't bad, per-say, it just isn't right for me.
The biggest issue I have with it is the texture. When I bough it I thought that a gel was a neat idea... neat idea in theory, but not in practice. It is cold, and well cold and gooey! I hate the feeling of rubbing it on my eye. Ewww! Sorry Marcelle. I love your other products, but not this one.
This is okay at removing eye makeup (it won't remove waterproof mascara though.) I find I end up with more in my eye each time I use than I would like though. I apply it on a cotton round, but it's awkward and... yeah. I vote pass on this one.

I picked this up on a whim (it was on sale) and I have to say it is a great scent. It isn't heavy, but it is long lasting and is feminine without being overly floral or cloyingly sweet. I can't detect exactly what the notes are supposed to be but there is a hint of vanilla in the base and a blend of light fruity florals in the top notes. This makes a great everyday scent. -

I am prone to dry skin, so I am always looking for the best products to keep it under control. I bought this mostly based on the name 'hydra quench' it just sounds like something that should be super moisturizing. Right?
It is! I love this mask! I love pretty much any type of masks, but this one is different from others I've used as you don't need to rinse this one off. You apply it and then wipe it off. It's that simple. The difference that this mask makes to my skin is immediate: as soon as I take it off my skin feel more hydrated.
This mask seems expensive, but it really does work, and it works so well you only really need to use it once a week. It's a must try!

I received this product free from the Product Review club to test and review.
I'm not usually a bar soap user, but from time to time I will make the switch from body wash if the soap seems worth it. The Dove Beauty Bar is totally worth it. When I first opened the package, I was a bit taken aback by the scent, it seemed really strong. It's not that I don't love a scented product, it just seemed to be very dominant. The scent is a clean scent, soapy is the best word I can think of... I know describe the scent of soap as soapy. Yeah, but it is a clean, fresh, feminine scent that I've come to like.
The bar itself is hefty. Maybe, it's because it's been a while since I used a bar soap, but you get a lot in a bar. I love that. The bar lathers like no tomorrow, which I loved and cleansed very well. I loved how easily it rinsed away as well. You can feel the difference of you skin before you even get out of the shower. It's pretty amazing actually. I have dry skin and try to never skip a post shower moisturizer session, but this bar makes my skin feel so great that I won't feel so bad if I do skip it. While I did like my last body wash, it didn't leave me near as moisturized as the Dove Bar.
I would definitely purchase a few of these to have on hand because I think I'm hooked on them now and I've already started harassing everyone I know to switch to them, or at least try them! They're just that good!

I avoided these when they first came out because I'm not a huge lipstick fan (or wasn't, I'm wearing it a lot now) and because I'm quite fussy about it and would rather spend more to get exactly what I want. I caved on my last drugstore trip and picked up two of these in the shades Divine and Heavenly.
Divine is a purpleish shade that is a dupe of MAC Up the Amp. I love a good purple and this one does not disappoint. It has a bit of a pink base and when it wears away you get a bold fuscia-ish stain.
Heavenly is a medium dusty pink shade (a pinky neutral). The shade is so pretty and would work on anyone.
The formula of these is fabulous! They don't seem to be as moisturizing as they claim, but they don't dry out my lips so all is good. The coverage is great, nice opacity and a ton of pretty, wearable shades available. I'm sure that I'll be adding more to my stash.

I originally received this from the Product Review Club (thanks!) but I had some problems with the one I was sent. There was no smell. While shopping, I spotted them and decided to pick one up and try again.
Second go was successful and the scent is great! It is clean and fresh and I liked that I was able to set the strength. I like that the design of these are sleek and small and blend in without being overly bulky. I've only used it for a week or so, so I can't say how long it will last, but I definitely recommend giving these a try.

I recived this from the Prodcut Review Club (thank you!) and have had great results.
My hair tends to be on the dry side, so I like a shampoo that combats that, but at the same time I look for something that won't weigh down my hair. I've found that this shampoo totally does the trick. The scent is nice, it lathers well and leaves my hair clean and looking great. Overall, a great product.
