This is my very favorite hand cream ever--I have not been without a tube for the past five years. It is very rich and seems to almost instantly repair the skin on my hands, giving them a smooth, soft look. I'm pretty hard on my hands--washing many times each day, riding my bike in wind and sun without gloves, living in the desert--and this is the best cream I've had for preventing dry, scaly hands. It doesn't sink in right away and is somewhat greasy, but I sort of like that, especially since it does work and doesn't just sit on top of the skin. I personally love the powdery scent, though I don't find that it lingers for more than 30 minutes or so. The packaging isn't my favorite, as the label always seems to come off, leaving a metal tube covered with sticky residue, but it's something I can deal with. Overall, one of my favorite indulgences! -

Love this stuff. I'm sensitive to some fragrances in lotion, and this one never gives me a problem. It's even gentle enough for me to use after I shaved my legs, which i absolutely cannot do with any lotion with a high alcohol content which results in: burns! hurts! turns my legs red! ick! :P No one wants that! This stuff is so nourishing, lasts forever, and I love it. If you have super dry skin like me in the winter, try using this after slathering on the Palmers Cocoa Butter bath oil stuff right after you get out of the shower. I did this over this past winter and had the BEST skin. -

First off I have just reaching my shoulder length hair. Brown and it is pretty thick and i have a little split ends (who doesnt?) Also I straighten my hair every day. My hair is not dead though, on the contrary it is very soft and shiny because I take good care of it. This is pretty expensive stuff and I only bought this when I bought my Rehab shampoo because I was recommended it. No, just no. Does not do anything, and it isnt even moisturize my hair that well. Also it runs out very fast and you need A LOT or product to get it to moisturize your hair. Now I read some reviews that this smelled like lemons. I LOVE lemons. I eat lemons, love lemon flavors, and love lemon scented/flavored products. This does not smell like lemons. I don't enjoy the smell that much. The rehab smells sooo much better (although it is drying) If you want to give it a shot, get a sample first! -

I have used the eraser in every room of our home, and have found it to be wonderful. The key, for me, to its effectiveness, is not to drench it in water. Just dampen the eraser and gently scrub whatever needs cleaning. Some reviewers have suggested using only small sections of the eraser for lesser cleaning jobs, and I found that to be effective, too. Kitchen and bathroom vanity tops respond wonderfully to the magic touch. Although it is not meant to wash entire floors, cleaning up a quick spill or floor stain is quick and easy with the Magic Eraser. The downside is that the erasers don't last very long; but they work like magic. -

Lives up to its name and keeps your skin feeling soft and dry, nullifying that oily sunscreen effect (it almost worked like a mattifying primer on my combination skin.) It doesn't leave a white film like some broad-spectrum protection sunscreens. It comes in a very convenient squeeze tube with a tiny opening and twist off tube-ish cap. I wish a lot of sunscreens would be formulated this way I really like it. -

It’s very sweet, and of course chocolatey, but there seems to be a distinct lack of any discernable taste. But something keeps making you want to buy them, and it’s no doubt the extreme amounts of sugar in these babies. I was disappointed that there wasn't more of a 'yolk' as I remember there being. Still, nostalgia is powerful and for many people Easter is not complete without a Cadbury Creme Egg. -

I have used this on my skin and it seems to work nicely, however, I use it on my hair almost everyday. It really does seem to detangle my hair and doesn't leave it greasy unless I use too much. It also makes it feel soft and not dry like coconut oil can. I don't use baby oil (which is mainly mineral oil) on dry hair but I use it on my wet hair because it locks in moisture. This product also works well as an eye makeup remover. I like how this product can be purchased at a very cheap price. -

I bought the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse for the second time (the first time was when it initially came out and I was new to makeup) to make a more accurate opinion on it especially since by skin has changed and here it is. I got this foundation at Shoppers Drug Mart for $14.99 CAN which is pretty expensive since it is a drugstore product. The shade I picked up was the lightest, 'Porcelain Ivory' which is pretty spot on for me. A real pro of the product was that I did notice there were shades in this foundation to match both light and darker skinned girls. The packaging is really cute, compact and convenient. The foundation comes in a little glass container with a pump. Now for the foundation itself, the foundation is medium coverage, has a demi matte finish and is very thick for a liquid product. On Maybelline's website, they claim that this foundation works best on normal skin types and leaves an airbrushed finish. I would say that it absolutely does leave an airbrushed finished but if I have normal skin, this would not be the foundation I would reach for since based on other people's reviews, it did not work well for people with oily, combination or normal skin types. These people said that the foundation did not last long and left them feeling greasy so if you have those skin types- beware. I personally have dry skin so a greasy look or wearing usually has actually never been an issue for me. Also, this product did not break me out at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone with DRY SKIN looking for a drugstore brand foundation. -

This is the best lip balm I have ever tried. I have used lip balm from almost every company out there and every lip balm from Burt's Bees and I always come back to this. I have several tubes of it and a tin or two and I absolutely love it. It is moisturizing and stays for a long time. I love the thick feel and the minty taste. It isn't fruity or girly, so it is wonderful for men too. I've been using it since I was in elementary school and I don't go a day without it. Thank you Burt's Bees! -
