I am pretty much addicted to lip balms or glosses. I have one in every room of my house, in my purse, and in my car just to make sure I'm never without it. Though I use these products constantly, I find it very difficult to find a brand that's actually effective.
I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like Nivea Essentials lip balm. I've started to sometimes use it in place of my normal brand which is something I've never done before. It makes my lips feel soft and velvetty, and lasts a fairly long time (even for someone like me). It doesn't feel sticky whatsoever, no matter how much of it you apply. Even after it eventually wears off, my lips still feel like they're softer and smoother.
On top of all that, it's one of the least expensive brands. And it's more effective than any brands I've tried that cost more.
I would definitely recommend trying Nivea Essentials!
Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving it to me to try and review!

I've tried a few different types of margarine. When I was a kid, my parents always bought margarine instead of butter because it's cheaper. I just don't see how any margarine can compare to the taste of real butter.
If you insist on using margarine as a substitute to the real thing, this is one of your best options as far as I can tell. It has more flavour than most margarine, but it's not the flavour of butter. It is also smoother than other margarine, it doesn't have as much of that plastic texture that most of them do.
If you're going to choose margarine, this is probably your best bet, but it still can't compare to real butter.

The Vichy products I've used have all been amazing, and worked really well. This cream does a great job of putting even moisture into your skin, and it lasts a long time. It made my skin look brighter and more evenly moisturized, and it even made the few lines I have disappear.
This cream feels a little thicker than I would like. I generally prefer moisturizers that are lightweight. Granted it is the middle of Summer, so that might have something to do with it. It doesn't feel sticky though, and is incredibly effective. I will continue using it, but might just use it before bed instead of in the morning.
Thank you so much ChickAdvisor for giving me this product to try!

Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me this product!
Before trying this Serum, I had never considered adding an extra step to give my skin the moisture it needs. I thought all I needed was to find the right moisturizer. I'm so thankful I was given the opportunity to try this serum, because it taught me that there's a better way to take care of my skin.
I will admit I was a little skeptical about how effective this product actually was because I'd started using a Vichy moisturizer at the same time. So I tried using the moisturizer without the serum first, and actually saw and felt a huge difference!
I have chronic pain, and the medications I'm on have caused my skin to become dried out and dull looking. I thought this was just something I'd have to deal with as long as I'm on these medications. This serum showed me that there is still a way to make my skin look and feel healthy again.
After 1-2 weeks of using it, my skin was back to looking as good as it did 6 years ago, before I started taking medications. The serum not only helped put lasting moisture back into my skin, it made my skin tone look more even, and prevented my skin from starting to feel oily half way through the day.
The best thing about it is that it's really light and smooth feeling. My skin feels like velvet. Aside from how much better my skin looks and feels, it felt like I had nothing on my skin. It feels weightless. It also has a very light, clean scent that I really like.
I would have thought this product was expensive, but after a month of using it I'm not even through 1/4 of the bottle. With how long each bottle will last, it's actually less expensive than the moisturizer I was using before I switched to this. This serum has been added to my skincare regime, and I will definitely continue to use it. I fully recommend anyone to try this product.

I thought the products I was using were decently effective, so I never considered looking for something better. I was WRONG!
I've always had a problem with dark circles under my eyes, in fact I was born with them (literally). I had come to accept a long time ago that there was no way to deal with them other than covering them with make up the best I could. With this Eye Balm from Vichy, I've finally found a product that makes a difference. After 2 weeks of using it my mum came to visit. I hadn't mentioned to her that I was trying a new product. She commented immediately on how much lighter my eyes looked, and that I looked more rested and alert.
I noticed a difference the first time I used this eye balm. It just continued to improve as I kept using it. Now it's become a necessity to me. The price may seem a little high, but a little goes a long way. One pump from the bottle fits on my pinky finger, and is actually too much for both of my eyes. I would say with how long a bottle could last, the price works out to be equal to cheaper & less effective brands.
This product was given to me by ChickAdvisor to review, and I recommend it 100%. Thank you ChickAdvisor for introducing me to a product I might have otherwise never tried! I have never been happier with the appearance of my eyes!

Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hands Stronger Nails Conditioning Lotion

This is the type of lotion I use more than any others (this and the cocoa butter version equally). It works well to make my skin feel moisturised and lasts for a long time. I don't like lotions that are heavily perfumed, especially for my hands, and this is one of the few lotions that has a light enough scent that it doesn't bother me if I eat right after applying it. It makes my skin feel soft without leaving an oily feeling behind, and you don't need to use a lot for it to be effective. -

This cleaner works great. I always use it for the bathtub and toilet. If you just squirt it on the area that needs to be cleaned, spread it around, let it sit for 30 seconds or so, and it easily removes stubborn spots with little-no effort.
Because of how strong it is, I only use it in the bathroom. It really does making cleaning a lot easier and faster than other cleaners I've tried.

I LOVE Red Rose tea. I've tried so many different brands of tea, and once I tried this brand I stuck with it. The decaf tea bags taste just the same as their regular Orange Pekoe tea bags, and are great if you're like me and enjoy a nice cup of tea at night.
Their tea bags have always been high quality and give you a great flavour without tasting bitter. I use a 20oz mug, and still get good flavour out of 1 tea bag (and I don't like my tea weak). In other brands I've had issues with the odd tea bag in the package having less/no flavour than the rest, but have never had that problem with Red Rose.
It's a great tea with a great flavour and I definitely would recommend it!

I've been using the Tea Tree line from the Body Shop for close to 10 years. Most skincare products lose their effectiveness over time, at least in my experience, but this never has.
I have combination skin, and get a lot of blackheads on my nose. I've tried different exfoliating washes and masks, and this one has been by-far the most effective. I usually use it twice a week, along with the rest of this skincare line. Before I started using this line, my skin was always really oily in the t-zone area and I couldn't get rid of the blackheads on my nose. More sensitive products didn't work, and harsher products caused my skin to become even more oily!
I noticed The Body Shop had a sale on their skincare products, so I went in and asked about them. They recommended I try the tea tree line, and particularly that I use this exfoliating wash. Within a week my skin was feeling better than it had been in a long time.
When I first started using this product, it wasn't as good as it is now. They've recently updated their Tee Tree products, and it made it even better than it was initially. Probably twice as effective.
Also, if you're worried about putting out the money to try a new product you're unsure of, the Body Shop gives samples so you can make sure you like it first.

This is seriously the best mascara I have ever used!
I have naturally long lashes, but the tips of them are blonde and really fine (even though I'm a brunette, go figure) which makes my eyelashes look shorter. I also sometimes have a problem with mascara rubbing off the tips of my lashes by the end of the day. But this mascara both looks amazing and lasts longer than any other mascara I've tried.
It does such a good job of making my eyelashes look both long and thick that I've been asked many times if I'm wearing false eyelashes.
I'm also really active and always outdoors, so I always use waterproof mascara. I've gone swimming, hiking in the rain, I even used to play rugby with it on. It lasts through anything. I'd say the one downside, depending how you look at it, is that it might stay on too well. I still have not been able to find a makeup remover that actually removes it effectively.
I would Definitely recommend this mascara!
