Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick

Benefit Cosmetics Chachatint Lip & Cheek Stain
This coral cheek/lip stain is a very nice colour, but I wouldn't repurchase it. I hate applying it to my cheeks and it was drying on the lips. I'll stick to cream blush and lip balms.

Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar
This was a nice bar soap to use on the body. I'm not crazy about bar soaps, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. I didn't notice any major improvements in body breakouts or ingrown hairs.

L'Occitane Rebalancing Exfoliating Shower Gel

This scrubby shower gel was so pleasant to use. It cleansed well, kept my skin soft, and lived up to the "balancing" claim. The scent is rich and woodsy, but also calming from the essential oils. The exfoliation comes from lemon peel and olive seed powder, which doesn't scrape the skin and is safe for the environment. For extra suds and a deeper clean, I'll apply this shower gel using bath gloves. -
Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner
I will never be without a bottle of Thayers, and cucumber is my favourite scent at the moment. I spritz a bit of it on right after the shower, and before I apply a salicylic acid toner. I'll even use it as a light moisturizer on my chest and back... +
I will never be without a bottle of Thayers, and cucumber is my favourite scent at the moment. I spritz a bit of it on right after the shower, and before I apply a salicylic acid toner. I'll even use it as a light moisturizer on my chest and back. It cleans, conditions, heals and brightens tired skin. -
Listerine Total Care Dental Floss
Best floss ever. It has little ridges that rub off plaque, and the stretchy strand makes it very gentle on the gums and easy to slip between teeth.

This is a fantastic natural lip balm with a host of nourishing oils and butters to soothe dry or chapped lips. It has a nice citrus scent, feels smooth, doesn't burn the lips, and lasts for a long time.
I also tried a foil packet sample of their orange tube version with SPF 15. I am quite sensitive to the "sunscreen" taste, but it would be great for outdoor winter sports or the hot summer months.
Gosling's ChopSaver lip balm has been created especially for musicians, and it is sold at most music stores in the city. If you happen to be in the US, it's also sold at CVS Pharmacy.

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
No dry shampoo works as well for me as Klorane. My current favourite variety is this new tinted one. The scent and lasting power is incredible. Look for the bottles with a $3 off coupon on them, and always get it when it's on sale for 10.99 at... +

I completely agree with the description: "This light, non-oily serum will flood your skin with moisture and deeply hydrate your face and neck to eliminate the tight, dry feeling caused by dehydration."
Though this serum is not on the same level as something like Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair, I still find it to be a fantastic addition to my routine - it goes on after toner, and before moisturizer to brighten and improve skin tone. The lightweight texture makes it ideal for a fresh morning pick-me-up in place of a thick moisturizer that could disrupt your makeup. I think the prices online are slightly inflated BTW - I would assume that this is around $38 CAD.
