So I recently had the opportunity to try EOS CRYSTAL LIP BALM IN HIBISCUS PEACH. I took it out of the package, opened the container and applied- and it felt great right off the bat! You can tell there are natural oils- didn't feel heavy or worse yet- WAXY, like pretty much all of the competitor's products did!
I have to admit- I think I'm in love with the Hibiscus Peach scent! I've always loves peachy scents, and this one did not leave me high and dry! (Get it? Lol)
Anyone who is looking for a better way to lip balm should definitely try this one. It's out in stores RIGHT NOW, and you won't be disappointed! Thanks you Eos!!!!

Aveeno Positively Radiant Overnight Hydrating Facial

I'm not positive how it would have went, but I think it would have been pretty good because when I woke up, my face was softer and more even. 2 weeks from now with a/c, I probably would give it full stars on everything. I think it's probably a good product, and good for younger and middle aged (20s and 30s) women to use to perhaps keep their skin looking good for a longer period of time. Thanks, Aveeno! xxxxxxx -
Aveeno Positively Radiant 60 Second In-Shower Facial
Nice to have a product for in shower (for me it was "in bath".) Left my skin feeling very clean and ready for the night cream. I would buy this with my own money. xxxxxx

Pepsi Cola
I love it more than Coca-Cola! Used to be a Coke girl, but now I'm loving me some Pepsi for several years now! It's got less of a bite, and has a more refined taste going down. I was, for all of my life, a daily (meaning ALLLL day) pop drinker, and... +
I love it more than Coca-Cola! Used to be a Coke girl, but now I'm loving me some Pepsi for several years now! It's got less of a bite, and has a more refined taste going down. I was, for all of my life, a daily (meaning ALLLL day) pop drinker, and just recently as in about the last 3 months cut out all of the pop in my life to lose weight (I'm telling you ladies, a pound a week, just doing that and not lifting a single finger!) but there are times when I will allow myself a special little treat, and, as long as I keep it to no more than every month, 6 weeks, I will have a can of Pepsi! I think there are something like 8 teaspoons of sugar "http://nutrition.about.com/od/healthyappetizerssnacks/f/how-much-sugar-in-cola.htm" in that little treat of mine, but I just love it! And I deserve it. We women, as a whole, deserve it.
Pepsi tastes great. If you have yet to try it, or are new to canada or just visiting, give Pepsi a try for sure for sure! :)

I am going through Clarus therapy (aka Accutane?) From one day to the very next (literally,) I'd still be way too oily to having what I call "burn marks" in the center of my forehead, down the strip of my nose, and on my chin, but ONLY where your chin jusssst touches your neckline.
I have been in therapy, what, about 3 months? It is for these burn marks that I purchased the Noxzema. Let me 1st tell you what I tried BEFORE it: (Laughable part) SEVERAL dermatologist's samples from his office, TWO prescription-strength tubes of cream, 3-4 other tubes of also prescription-strength cream from my Mom from their house that had been used on various other types of dermatological conditions, and, most recently, NIVEA.
The NIVEA I loved, only thing is one day in conversation it came up and was presented to me that for the problems with the excess oil I am still having (you could literally still wring my forehead OUT,) that the "ZEM" or "ZEMA" in "NOXZEMA" would definitely help dry that all out (meaning the zinc or whatever that classic ingredient is.)
So this is Night 1 with the NOXZEMA Plan, coming off of NIVEA. If it doesn't work, I've lost about 8 bucks, maybe added extra problems with excess oil for a few weeks or month or two, and can give the tub away. Actually, I wouldn't be able to give it to anyone I know, and even donations wouldn't take it, so this could be an 8 dollar night that sets me back 2 months, but Whatever! You know what I mean?

I started using Clarus for my adult acne. My skin was shredding really badly. I thought nothing would help. I tried some others before the Nivea, and they weren't high enough quality to even TOUCH it, but the nivea was enough. It coated it properly,and in a couple of weeks, the shredding was beginning to heal. Plus, Nivea didn't leave my face feeling weighted or oily when I had it on.
I am now a life-long user of nivea because of this one experience. I can't stop telling people about it and to try it! It really is almost like magic, the way it fixed how severe my face was shredded.

Both of these are basically "Walmart brand".
PROS: They come in a barrel of 30 pens; good selection. Also include a small amount of sparkly gel pens.
CONS: They all have trouble writing full words without needing to be played around with to get the ink to flow again. Very frustrating! Every single pen! Also, they were on the pricey side, $8/ 30.

Clarus is the generic for Accutane. I am 35 and have had acne continuously from about age 11 until now (24 years). I would clean my skin and it would be oily the second I was done cleaning, especially on my eyelids and my forehead.
I am almost 2 months into the Clarus rx. At first, by about week 2, I was shredding everywhere. My lips were peeling like crazy, and my forehead, etc. Seemed like the oilier the area, the more I would shred.
If this happens to you, trust my word that my trial and error that Nivea is the one you want to apply to the peeling areas.
My skin is almost clear, but still some oil. Much, much better! Highly recommend!

The reason I first tried Biotene was the same reason that most people end up buying this product: dry mouth. Mine was caused by a combination of a whole whack of medications as well as other organic reasons.
I first didn't follow the directions, and instead, simply applied the product on a clean finger, and then rubbed the product all inside my mouth wherever it was dry. I was very generous with the product, too. My first sensation was of how awful the product tasted! My God, how gross!! You'd think they'd make that stuff flavoured of something, but nope, it was just gross! And what's worse, the minute I swallowed, dowwwwn went the Biotene, and the dryness was back.
For round two, I followed the instructions to a "t". It says to squirt the product into your mouth instead. I thought, "But how is it going to get wayyyy over to the side of my face and way at the back where I'm the driest? But I put that aside, and did as I was told, and squirted a large amount into my mouth. The first time, I had the exact same results as I had had when I tried my own method, so I gave it a third try, with also the same results.
With 3 results of it doing not a thing for my super dryness AND that horrible smell and taste under my belt, I called it a day. I just could not force myself to try it a fourth time. Maybe I could have had I had some small degree of result, but I'm serious when I say that with the first swallow, down went the Biotene. And that very first time, the one where I was winging it? I had actually RUBBED the Biotene into my dry areas, so it's not like there was a big gob just sitting there or anything, but yet, it also went right down, too.
For the high cost of this box, you are better - and cheaper - off buying several packs of gum or hard candies to keep on hand. This product gets a solid "F" from me. Save your money.
