When I bought this product it was on sale at Avon for $0.99 and its was well spent. When I first used this product I didn't know what to expect from it but I can tell you what I experienced.
First of all it is very light. I used a cotton to apply it to my face and it held pretty well to the cotton. A tiny drop went a long way as it really took the majority of make up out. I went about a second time with a new application and I'd say most of the makeup was removed from my face. I even used it around my eye area and it didn't disappoint; although I felt a little bit of a burning sensation but it wasn't very intense.
After using, I felt that it left my face feeling soft and moisturised. Not dry at all. I would definitely recommend this makeup remover and for the price, you just can't go wrong.

I love love love this product. I can't live without it. I use it every single day mainly on my feet and hands. Everyday after a shower, I use the Vaseline petroleum jelly under my feet and toes and it keeps my feet super soft. I don't have dry feet or dead skin anywhere on my feet. I love the texture and the thinkness of it. You can definitely tell the difference between the other brands and the Vaseline brand. Its a must have for me. -
Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

I have a love for all things Febreeze but the car vent clips just didn't do it for me. It does carry the febreeze scents and looks and everything else but I had it in my car for a month and it just didn't perform as I expected it to. I literally had to turn the fan on full blast to actually take the smell of this air freshener. I didn't get that wow factor when I stepped into the car.
That was a bit disappointing for me considering how well they do (in my opinion) on other products.
I do not think I will be trying this product again.

Maybelline New York Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil

The first time I purchased this pencil i thought it was a bit overpriced. At $10 for 50g, yes, it think its a bit pricey. It was not until I tried it did I realise why it cost that much.
I usually shave my brows and them draw them back on. I've used other brow pencils before but this one just sealed the deal.
The pencil is very thin and therefore gives you a very thin point as it a mechanical pencil. There isn't much product in the drum of the pencil but that problem is well taken care of. The mechanical part of it, lets you twist the point out of the drum but only so much at a time. You CAN NOT over twist this pencil and thats the good thing about it. You use every bit of it and very rational too.
I purchased the dark-brown and I love it. It looks very natural and does not appear too dark or too light. Its just perfect and looks really natural. The first overlay will be a bit light but a few more strokes and you will get the desired brow that you're looking for.
I have really oily skin and with other brow pencils I fine that it wears out as my face becomes oily and it starts to smudge. This one won't. The colour stays in tact the whole day even when my face become so oily.
One time I purchased another one and it must have been a really bad batch because the point kept on breaking off. I called Maybelline to let them know and they were very helpful. They asked me a few questions and stock number printed on the pencil and promised to replace the pencil free of charge and i didn't even have to return the old one.
In three days, yes 3 days, i got a letter from Maybelline acknowledging my concern and in there was a certificate for any Maybelline product of my choice with no price limit. I thought that was really awesome of them. I really must commend them on the great customer service. Well done.
I would definitely recommend this product.

Vaseline Intensive Rescue Clinical Therapy Body Lotion

I got a 325ml bottle, I picked one that was fragranced. The bottle is shaped perfectly to fit in the hand, it also has a flap lid that stays on all the time so you don't have to go looking for it if it falls under the bed for any strange reason and it snaps so there is literally no screwing around to put the cap back on. The lid is flat which enables you to place the bottle either way (right side up or up side down).
The first thing I did when I got the bottle was to take a sniff at the scent. Nicely fragranced and very light. Its not overpowering at all, fresh and inviting. An A in my books. The lotion is light too. I used it all over my body, under my feet and face. I really wanted to see how it works on the different textures of my skin, keeping in mind under the conditions that I have extremely dry skin, like extremely - the type that would really crack up and its winter time.
When I used it under my feet it was first very soft and sank in nicely but I fine that after a couple hours my feet would feel a bit dry, as if the lotion had evaporated - though I know its under the feet but even my toes felt dry too. I tried it with socks on and socks off, same effect so I decided that I will stick to the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, works wonders. On my skin it was velvety. My skin felt nice, smooth and soft. It was absorbed really well and left my skin with a little bit of a shine, not sure if its just me. I found that I had to apply a little bit more than usual though, with just a regular application if found that my skin was feeling a bit dry until a second application then it felt quenched. That would last me probably about 1/2 day. When I got home from work, and I would see my skin looking like it was beginning to flake (if you know what I mean). That I wasn't too pleased about,I really wanted it to last all day. In the palm of my hands it was magnificent. It delivered. After applying my hands were really soft, smelled good, it wasn't sticky/heavy and it wasn't too light. It was just right. On my face, I didn't need too much for it to do the job. Just a pea size amount was just perfect. Went on smooth and light, not oily (smiling) - for some odd reason my skin's really dry but my face is oily - and it left a nice glow. I was very pleased. Overall I must say it was pleased. I just had to use the right amount to get the job, just one thing, I should have got a bigger size.
