I usually buy the baby version, as it is the same stuff and MUCH cheaper, but I recently found a good deal at Costco, so I'm stocked up for the rest of the winter.

I have severely dry skin and this is the only cream that is capable of moisturizing my face in the winter. I have tried the most expensive creams, yet I always come back to Nivea. I put it over top of whatever treatment I put on my face before bedtime, and I wake up with fresh-looking skin. I would not recommend it for oily skin, or for hot, humid weather, as it takes a while to absorb.
My mom has sworn by this stuff all her life, and at 66, everyone compliments her on how young she looks.

I bought this eyeliner at Shopper's Drug Mart recently, when my usual eyeliner was not in stock, and I was completely out of alternatives. The sales associate recommended it to me, but I was not too crazy about the price (I think I paid about $24 for it). The salesgirl was wearing it and it did look quite lovely, so I decided to go for it, since I was having an eyeliner emergency, and am I ever glad that I did!
The colour is highly-pigmented and intense. I bought it in the "Onyx" shade and it really brightens up my murky green eyes. It's waterproof, but not hard to wash off, and it doesn't smudge. My job involves a lot of physical activity, and this eyeliner stays put throughout an 8-9 hour shift. At the end of the day, it looks just as fresh as it had in the morning.
The sharpener is handy, but it does not give you a super-sharp point. It took me a while to get used to applying it, but now that I know what I'm doing, it looks fantastic. Since it is so highly-pigmented, I don't find myself going through it as quickly as I did with other pencil liners. I bought it at the beginning of January, and I am not even halfway through it (it's mid-February now).
I am so in love with this eyeliner that I will continue to cough out $24 bucks for it every couple of months for it.
