AVON Calendar Lip Balm
AHAHAHA lath0013 thats hilarious! I TOTALLY agree with you! I used to get these all the time too and WOW this lip balm smells SO GROSS!!! Not to mention it doesn't even moistruize your lips, and actually leaves them a little drier after.

I love this product. I am notorious for getting stains on my clothes and this little guy has saved me countless times. The other ladies are right though, the cap does fall off all the time (aha I actually laughed when I saw other people had written that). Also, I agree with artist, I think it works best on cotton, and it does leave a white mark after using it on some stains. However in their defence, the package does say not to use it on blood, ink or grease (and my white stain was left after I used in on a drip of butter on my pants so I guess this is true.) Overall, I think I will always have this in my purse cause its a total life saver for me. -
AVON Solutions Tinted Moisture Shield SPF 15
Ugh I am NOT A fan of this lotion. I was so excited when I saw it on sale (half price! Its normally 15.99 and it was on sale for 7.99) in the Avon Catalogue. And oh my, I can tell why it was on sale. First off, it smells like the tempra paint you... +
Ugh I am NOT A fan of this lotion. I was so excited when I saw it on sale (half price! Its normally 15.99 and it was on sale for 7.99) in the Avon Catalogue. And oh my, I can tell why it was on sale. First off, it smells like the tempra paint you used to use in school in kindergarten (who really wants to put that on their face???) As a tinted moisturizer it was pretty mediocre, but as a moistruizer in general it was awful. It left my skin sticky. Like, not oily and greasy (although my skin definitely did look oily) but actually STICKY! Also, the tinted-ness stayed on my hands, even after I washed them the colour came off on my towel. I mean, if it did that to my hands, who knows what it was doing to my pores!! I would not recommend this product at all … I guess they’re right when they say if something looks too good to be true, it probably is (I mean tinted, SPF 15 AND 7.99?? What was I thinking, honestly?) -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint

This lip balm is one of my favourites. It goes on smoothly (granted, because of the beeswax it does work a little better if its warm) but it is cool and tingly and works very well as a lipgloss/lipstick base. It also leaves your lips very soft, not desperately craving more, and it lasts for a super long time. I think it must resist liquid slightly because of the beeswax, because drinking doesn’t make it disappear as easily as other lip balms. The original is minty, and there is also a honey one which I like, but my sister complains that the smell of it on MY lips makes HER sick, so I suppose it is a strong smell that is not for everyone (I like it, but that’s just me…) -

I received this product from the Shopaholic Movie Night Swag Bags. Wow, when they say unstoppable, they certainly mean it. I used this before a night out, and it lasted the whole night, and even after I (shamefully) didn’t wash my face before I went to bed, it hadn’t budged by the morning. It was still literally PERFECT. I was super impressed. However, as great as being smudgeproof and waterproof as, I don’t care for it when it comes time to wash it off – it does not wash off with my regular cleanser, and I don’t want to buy a make-up remover just to remove this one product (I rarely use enough eye make-up to constitute buying remover…) My only other complaint is that it is one of those “self-sharpening” types of eyeliner, which I never really care for because I prefer to sharpen the my eyeliners to the finest point possible, so this one doesn’t really cut it.
Overall, I would recommend this product for its staying power and smudge proof abilities, but not for its waterproof-ness (because honestly, how many times do you really need your eyeliner to stay on when you go swimming??? Ha ha ha)

I also received this product from the Shopaholic Movie Night Swag Bags. I am such a sucker for lip gloss, so it is the first product I tried, and I have to say I am absolutely in love with it. It is such a cute little package, and I love how you turn the dial and the lip gloss comes out of the little holes. Also, like artist mentioned the applicator is plastic which is great (not like the messy spongy ones which I don’t care for). Also it applies like a lip balm because of the plastic applicator, which I love (as opposed to a wand which you need to be a little more coordinated for application on the run ha ha)
Also the colour is neutral but very shiny and pretty. It applies smoothly on top of lip balm and looks very classy. I was wearing it for a night out recently, and looking at the pictures I absolutely adore how this lip gloss looks on my lips. I have to admit, judging from the pictures it looks a lot shiner than I thought I did, but still very nice. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

This lip balm has the same drawbacks for me as the Cucumber version. The slimness of the tube, as well as the thinness of the product itself causes application to take too long for me, because I need to put so many layers on, and it takes a while to cover my lips entirely. Also, I do not care for the scent of this product. It is a very subtle scent that you can only notice when the product is actually on your lips, but I still don’t really care for it. The only thing I can think of to compare the scent to (as random as this is) is the pink Flintstones vitamins that you took when you were a kid ha ha ha.
As far as lip balms go, it is quite adequate, it lasts an average amount of time, and I do have to say, I love how my lips feel afterwards – they don’t feel super dry and desperate for more lip balm; they actually feel smooth and soft, which is a huge bonus. Also, the lip balm works very well under my lip glosses and lip sticks, which I use my lip balms for quite often. It’s not overly slippery or shiny so it works great as a base. Overall, I am not blown away by this lipbalm but it’s not bad either.
To summarize;
Likes: the fact that the tiny tube fits in your pocket; quality as a base under lipgloss; the hydrated feeling of my lips after use
Dislikes: the slimness causes application to take longer than regular sized lip balms; the product itself is too thin on my lips
I would like to point out that this is NOT A BAD lipbalm I just find it slightly inadequate in some of the areas that are most important to me when selecting a lip balm. I do like it, it is just not my favourite.

I have never really seen the big deal about Softlips, and this product is no exception. While there is much that I like about it, there are a number of things that I dislike.
Firstly, the texture is slightly waxier than the regular Softlips (think a slightly softer texture to Burt’s Bees Lip Balm) due to the organic ingredients I suppose. The texture is not bad, but I prefer my lip balms to be slightly softer than this (however the fact that it is 100% organic is enough to make me endure this fact). I really like the smell – it is reminiscent of Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon scent which I absolutely adore. The scent is not that apparent when you simply open the lid and sniff it, but when it is on your lips you can smell the scent. My main complaint about this product is the very same thing that makes it somewhat unique – the teeny tiny fits-in-your-pocket size of the lip balm itself is so cute, and I love that it fits in my pocket undetected. However this also poses a problem with application … I don’t want to say that I have big lips, but I suppose they are slightly larger than average, and the tiny nature of this product causes me to have to go around my lips several times before they are covered. Also the lip balm itself leaves a rather thin layer on the lips (which is also a drawback because normally I prefer my lip balms to be thicker). Both of these factors combined made application slightly infuriating for me, because it takes so long to apply it to my satisfaction, and thus I do not think I will purchase this lip balm in the future.
To summarize;
Likes: pleasant yet subtle scent; the fact that the tiny tube fits in your pocket
Dislikes: the slimness causes application to take longer than regular sized lip balms; the product itself is too thin on my lips
I would like to point out that this is NOT A BAD lipbalm I just find it slightly inadequate in some of the areas that are most important to me when selecting a lip balm.

Soft and Dry Pulse
I like this deoderant a lot. The smell is very nice (I got Satin Dreams) and it really does prevent sweat! The scent is a teensy bit strong, but I like it a lot, so I don't mind.

I like this product. It is a nice gentle skin cleanser, that removes most of your make up (I find I still need a make up remover or toner afterwards if I use it at night). I generally use it in the morning when my skin is a little drier, and I find that it is nice and gentle, and makes my skin dewey and soft. It really does give your skin a nice glow like the commercials say. I don't use this product regularly, but somehow I have gone back to it a number of times over the years. Its a good old standby I think. -
