My boyfriend is a carpenter and he often works out in the cold and he gets very dry and flaky skin. He also doesn't like to use these types of products but I did pick this up for him because it does say "Men" on it and he actually uses it!
He has seen a big improvement in his skin - he has minimal flakiness and dryness. He has also noticed that his skin feels less tight and just feels better all around. His hands are usually very rough and after applying this his hands are much softer.
I would definitely recommend this for any man and the smell is very minimal as well. My boyfriend doesn't like to "smell too much".

So...? Kiss Me body fragrance

I have like 5 of these sitting on my dresser, I buy a handful of them when they go on sale (they are already cheap to begin with) but I stock up anyway.
When you first spray it, it's pretty strong and overwhelming. It sprays from an aerosol can and so it can be easy to spray too much. It can actually kinda make it hard to breath because it's so strong and powdery. However, once you get past that initial bomb of chemicals, you'll be left with a very light, mild and sweet scent of vanilla. It is so nice and soothing but also very childish .. I wear it during the day in the summer but it isn't something you'd wear on a date or when you're going out at night.. although, it has very low staying power. It probably will last a maximum of 3 hours. I have used it as a base before spraying other fragrances.
For the price, totally worth it.

This is one of my favourite fragrances, everytime I try something new - I always go back to this one.
It is very a very sexy and feminine scent. It has hints of raspberries and vanilla (yum). It is the perfect combination of sweetness and musk mixed with some "earthy" tones that make it almost "smokey" and very seductive.
It does have a high staying power, I can usually get away with three sprays to last me a full work day (8-9 hours). It does get milder over time and the sweetness goes and you are left with that "smokey musk" which I still love.
It is a little pricey compared to some other fragrances, but it is definitely worth it. I will continue to purchase and recommend this for as long as they continue making it.

This scent is very strong, deep and oriental at first but after a few moments it becomes a lot more mild and sweet. I wasn't real crazy about it when it was initially sprayed but after giving it sometime - I absolutely love it.
It is absolutely perfect for a fall and winter months. As I said, it is very deep - the scents are woodsy with base notes of patchouli and there is also hints of cocoa and vanilla in the mix - this makes it such a warm and sensual fragrance.
It really is nothing like the original Lady Million, this one is more sweet where the original was a lot more spicy.
Unfortunately, it is relatively expensive BUT the staying power in this fragrance is unbelievable. You only need one spray to last the entire day and so you will not use very much of it and it will last you for quite a long time.

This stuff is relatively cheap and for the price, it's an "okay" product.
Firstly, the wand is very flimsy and the brush itself is just an awkward shape. It is almost like a rounded ball-type shape, it just makes it hard to apply evenly or apply pressure. I think that if the rounded part of the brush would have been more successful if it was smaller, maybe? It is just difficult to keep the application even.
The formulation itself also isn't that great. It is very thin and not highly pigmented. My brows are darker and just have a few spots that are sparse, even the darkest shade didn't seem to add anything to my brows. I did notice, however, that my brows held in my place really well. So, this stuff works really well for the "sculpting" part of it's name, just not the "mascara". There is a "clear" version of this product that is designed solely for sculpting and shaping and it works very well.

I do like this product but I am really not a fan of the packaging. I would prefer it to be in a more stick form or a tube. I just don't like sticking my finger into the product/container. It always gets under my nail(s) and then my finger is covered in product and sticky, I don't always have the chance to wash my hands right away or have anything to wipe it off on. I also don't feel it to be very sanitary and this is the only reason that I do not use this product, but I do highly recommend it to anybody.
I have used it when my lips were VERY dry, cracked and beginning to split in the winter. I applied this to my lips and it did burn at first but that quickly went away. It became a more soothing, cooling sensation after just a few moments. I believe it was the cuts in my lips that were causing the burn but as I said, my lips felt soothed afterwards.
Aside from the healing, my lips also felt moisturized and soft. It took about a week for my lips to feel completely better and I was able to switch to a different lip product. This did do the job but I wouldn't use it on a regular basis because of the packaging.

This product is in my top 5 for skin moisturizers.
I love the feeling of the product - it is a light, gel-like consistency. My skin instantly feels smoother, fuller and hydrated. I have combination skin and so the product absorbs quick and doesn't leave a greasy or sticky residue.
I love apply it before my makeup - it gives me a smooth canvas and helps my makeup to apply and blend more easily.

This is an amazing eyeliner!!
A lot of products say that they will stay on the waterline and this is the only one that actually does. I apply it in the morning and it stays on all day. I also do not need to reapply after work if I am planning on going out for supper or out for the night. (I might apply more if I just want a darker, more dramatic look).
Aside from being long lasting, it is also highly pigmented! You just need to apply it to your lid/waterline once and you have a dark black, pigmented line. It applies smoothly, effortlessly and easily. The pencil itself is also mechanical which is a huge bonus, I am not typically a fan of sharpening.
I would highly highly recommend this product - especially if you have watery/teary eyes. It is a little pricey.. I think it retails for about 20$ but it is worth it and it lasts for quite a long time without drying out!

I am very surprised when reading these reviews because this is currently my favourite lip product.
These are very affordable, I think $10.49 at SDM. The colour selection are all nudes/mattes which are "in" as of right now. A lot of them a little bit too brown for me - I prefer the ones with the more pinky undertones.
You DO have to apply twice though, I will agree on that. Just once on the lips doesn't seem to be enough but two coats gives me an even look. I do not feel the product on my lips at all, it does dry quickly and I have minimal to no transfer when drinking from cups/eating etc. For me, the product stays on for the majority of the day! I maybe reapply two-three times in a 10 hour time frame.

This product is a little bit pricey but completely worth it.
You are given 5 different colours that you can mix or blend to create your own custom colour-correction wheel.
You can cover up any redness or skin irritation, dark circles, brown/dark spots, scars, eyelids and even out your skin tone.
I do feel it to be a little thick and so you only need a tiny bit when applying because it spreads and blends so easily. Also, make sure you put the cap on properly because I have noticed the colours do dry up quickly.
