The Body Shop Lip Butter
I know these work for me no matter the condition of my lips. Have used them for years. I've never reacted to them negatively. Every year they have new flavors, and I normally pick up two or three. The Mango is my favorite.

This product looks really dark, but goes on rather sheer. I personally like that, but if you are looking for something that is more opaque, this is not it. The wear time is about what I expected, last 4 hours with no eating/drinking. Lasts longer if paired with Vaseline Lip Therapy. -

The Nail Polish took 4 coats and was super streaky, due more to the type of brush, than the formula. The brush has huge plastic fibers. I think it might do better as something to layer on top of another solid colour. I will have to experiment. If anything, it ends up something for the girl child to play with, or something for my toes.
This is a sheer, glimmery polish. I think the solid colours would fare better.

Jordana Quick Dry Topcoat
The Topcoat wasn’t a 60 sec dry like it boasts, but it does dry quicker than most top coats. It is a medium thickness, and mildly self levels. I might buy it again due to the self leveling, but I wouldn't if I needed something to dry quickly.

Jordana French Manicure Polish
The French Manicure is great, it was a single coat to get it fully opaque, and it has decent brush on it. I will definitely buy this one again, even just to use as a base for nail art. I did not use it for it's intended purpose, so I don't know if... +

I did not use it for it's intended purpose, so I don't know if the brush works well for it's intended purpose. The Formula is great though.

Jurlique Love Balm

Sometimes, especially in winter, my knuckles make me look more like that of a back street scraper, than a stay at home mom. I seem to have very think skin there, and it abrades really quickly, even from just lifting boxes. So the knuckles get this balm.
It works perfect for me.

Blistex Lip Medex

It is sort of like Vicks Vapor Rub, but for your lips. While that might not be your thing, it does help greatly up here during the cold months of the Great North. Depending on how bad the damage to your lips is, it might take a few days for this product to fully heal them.
I have used this product since I was little, and have never reacted to it in any way.

The weird thing I find is that after the whole day, you can't smell the scent anymore, but you also can't smell any sweat either. There just seems to be a whole lot of nothing.
I have never had a breakout due to it, been using it for at least 2 years now. I have naturally dry skin, many allergies and eczema.
It hasn't ruined any clothing that I could tell.
I find it very light, it is almost like a mousse, when you level it up the tube. It never feels cold either, and it normally sits in my purse on a hook at the outside kitchen door. This might not seem like a big deal, but I have had gel sticks freeze, and it is unpleasant.
The only thing I am not impressed by is the quantity. My old sticks I could get in a size 74g for about $4CAD normal price, and like $2CAD on sale. These never go on sale, and are always about $7.50ish CAD(Depending where you go in canada). The real kicker is for that price you only get 45g. For $15.50ish CAD you can get 100g in a big long tube.

Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

Due to little grabby hands, I got into the habit of putting my long curly locks into a bun on top of my head.
I switched to these after conventional elastics stopped working, constantly snapping on me.

Finding a product that works with my dry skin, allergies and eczema is no small feat.
Fragrance in general has always been a rather touchy subject. I can barely stand to go by the counters in the department stores, let alone sit there and actually try things on.
Years ago, my omi had given me some samples she had received from The Bay. Amongst the samples was Calvin Klein’s One.
I can’t say for sure, but I suspect that because it is marked as a unisex scent, maybe, just maybe, it lacks some of the extra ingredients that seem to set me off with most of the feminine lines.
