Let me start off with the fact how great the actual Cetaphil company is. They have sent me free products twice, once containing a variety of samples and the second time, once again including a variety of samples and a full size gentle skin cleanser. As a company, they are the best. Polite, giving, etc. I would give them a round of applause, really.
As for the product- I think its really good and would probably work on a bunch of sensitive people's skin. Now, it didn't work for me but that is definitely NOT a fault of the products. You have to find a product that works on your unique skin and just because a product doesn't work for you, doesn't mean its bad. So yes, I would consider this a really good product. I would say the gentle skin cleanser, moisturizer, etc would probably be for people with normal/sensitive skin.
The price is good, and it also lasts a long time. You're getting good bang for your buck. The design is stylish and once again, the company itself is top notch so you know you're spending your money in a wise place that actually cares about its customers. The smell is basically non-existent, and the actual product feels very light and smooth.
Bottom line- With facial skin care products, things are a little more tricky. It's not like its just a hair elastic where it doesn't require that much to be good and it would probably work on anybody. Everybody's face is different and finding the right products and right combo is a hard thing to do. While Cetaphil didn't work for me, I think it would work very well for a lot of others. Try it out, keeping your individual skin type in mind and with a price like that and a really good, solid company behind it, I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter

About a year or so ago, my friend let me try some of her product. Total wow. With a lot of other moisturizers I find that they are standard, run of the mill, they get the job done but lack the "OMG" factor. Not so with this. It does a great job of moisturizing. Even just putting it on, you feel like things are starting to work. Plus, it just feels GREAT. The consistency is great, and it just has that indescribable something about it.
I normally list pros and cons at this point but its pretty much perfect in the moisturizing/lotion aspects. Some could argue about the smell/flavour of the lotions but they have a large variety of flavours so there's bound to be one that you enjoy. Just keep searching.
I think that the only con of the product would be the price. This is a really good quality lotion but there is that "not the lowest price out there" thing to consider. As a matter of fact, I would probably go to the Body Shop all the time if I had an unlimited budget. But having said that, the Body Shop does offer good deals/offers on their products at certain times, so this would be a great way to get the product at a lower cost.
Bottom line- I would say this is a definite get. Get it, get it, get it. It's totally worth it. But, getting it at the right time (and for the right price) would be a better and smarter idea. So keep that in mind.

Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

The name says it all really. Ouchless. So true. I've used a variety of different hair elastics and I hate it when they hurt to take out. It's a slow, painful process . These on the other hand are super easy to take out.
Pros:
- Easy to remove, i.e "ouchless"
- Nice fun colours
- Last a reasonably long time. I have read some other reviews where people have said they stretch out after a couple of months and lose their shape but they ARE elastic. They will eventually stretch out but a couple of months is a pretty long time, so I wouldn't really consider this a negative
Cons:
- I really can't name any. Granted, it IS only a hair elastic so there isn't that much to complain or discuss about like a skin care product. Maybe you could say the price?
Bottom line- I think you definitely should get these. They work well, no pain, basically everything you could ask for in a hair elastic.

Always Infinity Pads
Man oh man. Always pads are quality. I used to think that all pads were basically the same, just a different name. Wrong-o. Imagine my surprise when I used a different pad and it did a less than stellar job. Huh? Didn't have that problem with... +
Man oh man. Always pads are quality. I used to think that all pads were basically the same, just a different name. Wrong-o. Imagine my surprise when I used a different pad and it did a less than stellar job. Huh? Didn't have that problem with Always.
However to be 150% honest, there are also other brands of pads that also do just as good a job as Always. Yes, Always is very good but so are some others. The not amazing pads are the one you want to watch out for.
Pros:
- Basically everything really. Whatever category you can think of, Always does a good job at meeting the sort of standards that you want.
Cons:
- I would have to say the price. It's not the cheapest thing on the market but if price is your issue, keep in mind that there are several ways to get some free samples of Always sent to you through the mail, all thanks to the internet. A nice way to test them out for yourself (not exactly 100% on topic, but I think it relates) at no cost to you.
Bottom line- Always are good, good, good. They get the job done and a more. But like I've already said, there are some other pads that are also good, good, good. Don't think Always is the "be all end all" of pads. You could get a different pad that you would also really like. Having said that, Always would still be a really good choice.

NIVEA Hydrating Lip Care SPF 4

I am currently using this product. It's works pretty well. It DOES get rid of your chapped lips and leaves them feeling smoother, healthier, etc. At the same time, I don't think this is an "OMG, tell everyone you know about it" kind of things. It's DEFINITELY not a "Meh" but its not a "Wow!". It does work well but there's probably another product that you could find that could be your go to lip chap.
Pros:
-smooth, silkyish feel- goes on evenly, not waxy AT ALL (this is quite nice)
-hydrates lips, smooths, etc
- works fairly quickly
- nice casing, i.e good design
- easy to use, no complications
- minor smell/taste, not unpleasant, good for those who dislike smells, etc
Cons:
- have to reapply often but this is the case with most lip chaps. Not worse than any other in this regard.
- solid effective product but lacks "wow" factor
Bottom line: Get it, use it, and it will work BUT keep on the lookout for new, different lip chaps that will make you smile putting them on.
