I want to first say that I do not find that I like any of the scents that I have tried of this so far (kiwi, raspberry, cherry blossom).
This does however aid with a smooth and close shave, which is most important in these creams I feel. I found that I still needed to moisturize after using, as it did not really fulfill that claim. I was most upset that the nozzle would stop working every now and then.
If you are looking for an effective cream that is cheap, this is a good option, just as long as you do not mind it's downfalls.

While this is an affordably priced product and is easy to use, I do not find that it performs well for me. I have thick, course hair and these razors do not leave me smooth like the 5 blade products. I find using it to be scratchy and I often get minor cuts as well. It is definitely wise to use a cream while shaving. I don't feel like this being labelled as a product for sensitive skin is correct. I would argue that it feels just the same as a number of other types in the Solel line.
I find that I can only use this one or two times before having to throw it away, which is disappointing. Perhaps if you have a different hair and skin type this would preform better for you.

These applicators are the perfect size for any type of facial waxing.
I have fingers that are a big larger and huge knuckles, so doing precise eyebrow work, for example, is often a pain. Since these are small and angled, they eliminate the risk of having normal size sticks in the way and makes working the area easier to see. I have no issues with these applying the wax evenly either.

NIVEA A Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lip Care

While this goes on smooth and feels lightweight on your lips, it does not provide enough moisture if your lips are on the drier side I feel. While I had problems with dryness, I was constantly having to reapply this and I felt as though I had never put anything on in the first place.
If you are just looking for light and quick protection and are not looking for relief, this might be a product better suited for you. On the times that I used this where my lips were more in a normal state (no excessive drying, peeling, or cracks) this seemed to last a bit longer - I would still need to reapply every hour or so, however.
I was not fond of the packing either. It sort of clicks on, but easily comes off if you drop it or it is moving around in your bag throughout the day.

I had the Day and Night version of the hydration lock stick.
The Day side of the stick contains minimal SPF, is non tinted and unflavoured. It said to reapply every 2 hours. I found this didn't even last that long and was constantly applying it, because it wasn't really all that moisturizing and long lasting.
I actually preferred using the NIght side of the stick for most applications, no matter the time of the day. This is does not have SPF, however, and is Chamomile flavoured. It was more moisturizing and lasted longer, I can only assume due to the oils that it contained.
I would repurchase this again only if it were the Night version in a whole stick - the Day side is just wasted. I'm not sure that I would agree that it's worth the low price either, as there isn't much product included.

Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment

I cannot say how this performs with it's claims to relieving cold sores, as I do not normally get them, but I do suffer from extremely dry lips every now and then. I have been using this brand on and off for years and this is by far my favourite product of theirs.
It is smooth and soothing as soon as you apply it to your lips and a little goes a long way. I love to use it in the evening before bed so that any dryness, cracks, or flaky skin on my lips is resolved in the morning. I did not give this a perfect review as there are a couple of negatives that I experience.
First, often this will provide a great amount of moisture initially but you will need to reapply this or another product later in the day because it dries down after a while.
Second, the applicator is a bit annoying. You have to be really careful of not squeezing out a large amount of product as the consistency is thin and creamy. There are ridges on the base of the applicator which allow the cap to fit securely, but sometimes these also peel and become sharp. Despite those couple of negatives, I still continue to use this when I need to and would still recommend.

I have heard both good and bad things about this brand but I decided to give it a go after not being happy with cheaper brands, which happen to also be pushed by some vets. While my furbaby had no extreme issues eating the food, I discovered a couple of concerns which made me end up switching brands and giving a star off of this review.
Upon doing weeks of research on companies and ingredients, I noticed that the company had a history of not labeling their products correctly. This and the combination of noticing that caramel was one of the ingredients caused my action to switch.
Just for additional information, caramel (colour) adds no nutrition to the food and can sometimes contain 4 Methylimidazole, which is used by pharmaceuticals and has caused cancer in tested mice. The label also stated that there was .08 percent (minimum) of Magnesium in the guaranteed analysis, but doesn't show the ash content. All foods will have both - if a pet has urinary issues or develops them, it is important to have both of these numbers.
I would still recommend this over many of the more common store brands.

This is one of my favourite lip products to use. It glides on and softens the lips. It isn't a powerful moisturizer, but it does well enough. What makes this a step up from some of the normal lip balms is that it includes SPF and a wonderful wash of colour. I often wear this on it's own if I'm not up for wearing a full coloured product.
I both love and hate the packaging. It's great that it is durable and small. It also closes securely by popping on and twisting, so there's less of a chance at losing the top in transit. The product however is soft, so once you use it it kind of moves to the side and smashes a bit. You will notice when this is on your lips - it has a sort of Vaseline type of feeling, but the product does stay on for a good length of time unless you are using your lips.

eos Organic Smooth Spheres Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean

I'm not sure if I may have just had a bad product from a weird batch or what, but this balm is one of the least favourite lip products I've tried. Perhaps it was a special batch made, as it was the limited edition one for the holidays.
It (Vanilla Bean) had a sour smell to it. Initially it would soothe and soften the lips but it didn't last very long. Even without using my lips for anything (eating,drinking, kissing - whatever) it would only last maybe 20-30 minutes. When I buy a lip balm it's not something I want to be applying quite that often, but if you don't mind, perhaps you will have a better experience.

I love that this doesn't get your hands messy while using like pot exfoliators. I often make my own scrubs at home, but this is even cheaper and just as effective. This exfoliates really well so take care when using to not overdo it - you should only need to use this once or twice a week. I scrub in circles, so the biggest downside to this product for me is it has the tendency to break from the packaging if you're not careful. -
