I caught the "Baby Lips fever" only a few months ago, but I've purchased several since then and I really like them! I use them more for a quick tint or base for lipstick/gloss, rather than moisture -- they are moisturizing; however, there are balms I prefer a lot more out there. I really like that the tubes match the colour, and each colour has a coordinating scent/flavour -- e.g., cherry for Cherry Me, pink lemonade for Pink Punch, etc. These balms are inexpensive (and often on sale!), and seem to often have new colours/types coming out, including LEs, which inspires a sense of "gotta catch 'em all." Go out and buy a tinted one and you'll see what I mean! -

I adore Milani's Color Statement lipsticks! I've tried four so far (Hot Pink Rage, Flamingo Pose, Sweet Nectar, and Nude Creme) and they are all pigmented, creamy, and last about 3-4 hours. They have a watermelon Jolly Rancher smell, which I LOVE, though may not be for everyone! The price is right at about $7 CAD each, and I definitely want to buy more! -
The Body Shop Absinthe Purifying Hand Butter
I adore this hand cream! It has a nice, herbal-y scent, and soaks into hands quickly, leaving them incredibly soft. Only a little bit of cream is needed and the softness lasts about a day in our current frigid weather.

I initially thought cleansing cloths were superfluous, but Cottonelle's have changed my mind.
One cloth is enough and cleanses very well. The scent is light -- definitely not "perfumey" -- which I think most people's skin and noses can tolerate (unless they're very sensitive to fragrances). The cloths are also durable and I haven't had any break while using them.
The price is a bit high, I think, so personally I will only use these occasionally. I think they would be great for traveling, especially camping where the facilities might not be, er, as cleanly as at home and where you can't easily take a shower.
Definitely worth a try if you want that extra bit of clean!

Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue
This toilet paper is very strong and a little goes a long way. While it's not as soft as my favourite, Charmin, it's definitely durable and I find I don't need as much as most other 2/3-ply tissues. The price is about average, and I'd personally... +
This toilet paper is very strong and a little goes a long way. While it's not as soft as my favourite, Charmin, it's definitely durable and I find I don't need as much as most other 2/3-ply tissues. The price is about average, and I'd personally wait for a sale/coupons to buy it. This is definitely a high quality bathroom tissue that I recommend to those looking for something strong, fairly soft, and will last longer than other brands.

Balea Legs and Body Ready-to-Use Wax Strips

A box of these contains 10 dual-sided strips and two wipes (for removing residue) for about $7. I really liked the convenience of the strips -- you simply warm them between your hands, peel, and place on the area you want to remove hair from. You can use the same strip a few times though I find it loses its efficacy after the 2nd use.
They are pretty good at removing hair, though my one complaint is that I wish a box came with more than two wipes, as 20 strips in all can last more than two sessions. I do recommend these though, as they are a bit cheaper than some brands and a lot more convenient than traditional wax you need to heat up and apply.

This lotion smells great, soaks into skin quickly, moisturizes well, and doesn't leave a greasy feeling behind. The lotion is a thinner consistency but isn't runny. I love that the bottle is curved in the middle, which makes it easier to hold.
You can often find coupons and sales for Garnier's lotions, so it's easy to find this already inexpensive lotion for even cheaper! Definitely recommend.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
This is kind of magic. I like using it to remove scuff marks from the walls and it works great! Plus, as a mass market brand, it often goes on sale, so you can get it even cheaper. Win-win!

Venus razors are very good quality. There are several to choose from -- from the basic 3-bladed original Venus, to ones with shave cream bars included, and even ones that help moisturize your legs.
I adore the Venus razors that have the built-in shave cream bars (Venus & Olay, Embrace, Pro-Skin). I don't like using typical shave cream because I find I always end up with half of it falling off my legs and ending up in the drain. These razors offer a simple, effective solution to that problem and leave my legs feeling smooth and soft. The Venus & Olay ones have five blades (the other ones have three), which I find makes shaving faster.
I also really like the Embrace razor, which offers five blades and moisturizing strips. The handle has soft ridges and is very easy to grip, and the cartridge is wider than the 3-bladed razors, which helps cover a wider area. I have used this without shaving cream and still experience soft skin without nicks or razor burns, though I'd still recommend using cream or gel for extra softness.
The original Venus and Venus Divine are good, though I like the extra perks the other razors offer. These ones are 3-bladed, and while they do a good job, I find I have to go over areas an extra time just to make sure all the hair has been removed. They also do not have the grips like the Embrace and Olay ones do. I would recommend them to someone looking for a simple, effective razor, and the Divine is nicely moisturizing.
Aesthetically, I love the colours and designs of these razors, and the fact that they are interchangeable. In my opinion, they're the best-looking razors on the market.
I don't think you can go wrong with these razors! I would especially recommend the Embrace and Venus & Olay, though they are all very good and most people will be able to find one that fits their needs.

Korres Guava Shower Gel is an indulgent, delightful addition to your shower.
It foams up quite nicely, cleans well, and has a tropical scent that lasts a few hours afterwards. It also adds a good level of moisture to the skin, which is perfect for cold, winter months!
While it's quite pricey at $22, I was able to find it at Winners for $8.99, so I highly recommend checking there if you're interested in this!
