I got this product because it came as a free bonus with my spectro gel cleanser. Usually I don't like cleansing pads because I don't feel like they really clean your face, but these ones are ok. I don't use them all the time ... I keep them in my locker at the gym for after a workout, and I have to say they do the trick. They take off sweat and makeup pretty well. My only two complaints are that it gives my skin that tight, just after you used a too-harsh cleanser feeling, and also it stings a little for some reason. I wouldn't reccommend using them all the time, bu for a quick touch-up when you don't have access to your regular cleanser and a sink, I say they're ok. -

I. LOVE. THIS. PRODUCT.
Not only does it do a million things, but just the sight of the cute little tin in my purse makes me smile. It can be used as a lipgloss, on a dry cutical, on a blermish, and also apparently to treat diaper rash and detergent burns lol ... I have also used it to tame the odd cowlick in my hair, and also a teensy dab on the tops of the apples of my cheeks to get that je-ne-sais-quoi glow.
Some people have mentioned the scent being bad, but I personally love it. It is a cross between vaseline and roses ... what's not to like?
I would highly reccommend this product for the sheer joy of having an all purpose go to product in your bag at all times.

Sunsilk De-Frizz 24/7 Cream
I have to say I disagree with the other reviews. I don't find this product has any significant effect on my curly/wavy and slightly frizzy hair ... the only thing it really did was weight my hair down. I like other Sunsilk products, but this one... +

Schick Quattro Razor for Women

This is my favourite razor by far. I have a couple of razors at any given time, and tend to buy refills for whatever is on sale when I go to the drug store haha. But, more often than not, I wait until the quattro blades are on sale, because I like them the best. I find it leaves my skin the smoothest, and I never get little cuts. The price is pretty standard compared to other razors (I think its about 22 bucks for the package of 8 refills). Also, I can't quite explain this part, but I find it to be more sturdy than my Venus razor (my second fave) .... I think its something about the way the blade handles when it moves against your skin ... the Venus pivots and the Quattro is stationary, which I like a lot better. I find it has more control. Overall, this is my favourite razor. -
Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

I LOVE the hair bands. I would not even consider using anything else, ever. They stay in place, they never rip out my hairs when I am pulling them out, and there are SO many in one package. They are durable, and only stretch out after a really long time (I can't even remember when I started using the one in my hair right now) so the package lasts forever. I honestly lose them well before I ever break them. -

I have to say I ADORE this product. Its a cute little roll on that fits oh-so-easily into the tiniest of evening bags and it smells divine. I have the orchid scent, and absolutely love love love it!
The scent isn't overpowering (it does NOT give you a headache) but is strong enough that people compliment the you on it. It comes in a bunch of different floral and other scents too (like green tea), and it only costs 12 bucks! Plus I have found it lasts a super long time even if you apply it more than once a day.
Funny story about it ... my friend and I were in the store trying out scents, and when we smelled the orchid one (the one that we eventually both bought) my friend said I don't know what it is about it, but it makes me think of boys for some reason ... and the sales girl said, yes that scent is an afrodisiac. Like WOW thanks, way to make that awkward LOL ...
...to clarify it does not smell like cologne or anything ha ha ha ... I would recommend this one for sure!

Fruits & Passion Nourishing Hand Butter in Shea

A friend of mine loves this stuff, but I have to say I am not super crazy about it. I listed it as You Betcha ... not because I loved it, but because my problems with it are minor and not enough for me to tell you not to buy it.
As a hand lotion its fine, the pot is a little clunky for my liking. It is pretty tiny, but I prefer sleek tubes of lotion in my purse (like I said minor complaint.) It does the job as a lotion but the scent gave me a headache IMMEDIATELY. I got the cocoa scent and although it smells like such yummy chocolate you could eat it, I found it to be intoxicating but not in a good way. Also, it is pretty greasy.
On the plus side, it lasts a long time (and not because I wasn't using it often lol but because you only need a small dab each time) and it really does moisturize your hands. AND it only costs 10 bucks!
So the final verdict: on the fence

This product is AWFUL! I had very slight little acne bumps on my chest and being very frustrated with it, I decided to get an acne body wash. This was literally the only one I could find, so I decided to try it out. I have been using it for weeks now and have seen very little improvement. Not only that, it drys my skin out, so I have switched to a moisturizing body wash for the effects of the harsh winter on my skin.
Not to mention the horrendeous SMELL ... a friend of mine told me that she uses this product, and the smell I am complaining about is the smell of the salicylic acid ... which I would have gotten used to and dealt with if the product had actually worked, but since it did nothing, I gave up on the shower gel completely. The smell actually lingered through my body lotion ... what is that?! I DO NOT reccommend this product to anyone, I honestly feel like using acne face wash on my affected areas would have been a better choice ... that would be a far more expensive alternative, yes but this wash isn't all that cheap (I believe it was 12.99) and for a product that doesn't work, that is 12.99 TOO MUCH.

This lotion is kind of pricey I think for drug store lotion, but it is well worth it. It is easily my favourite body lotion. While I don't have dry to extra dry skin, I am a moisturizing freak, and as such will use anything with the words extra nourishing in the name lol ... and the word milk got me. Milk is actually a great descriptor for this lotion because it is rather runny (literally my only complaint about it) but it goes on super smooth, soaks in very quickly, and does not give your body that greasy I-have-tons-of-lotion-on feeling. Best of all, your skin feels amazing afterwards, and even had a slight glow. I would highly reccommend this lotion to anyone! -

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shower cream. I read about it in a magazine article about combating dry winter skin and I have to say they were right on the money! This shower cream makes my skin SO soft, even without applying lotion afterwards, and it smells AMAZING (it has orchid flower and cashmere extracts). The bottle is huge (500mL) for only 5 bucks! Definitely a must have. -
