Red Rose tea is one of my all-time favourites! It's inexpensive, it's tasty, and it makes a big, strong cup of very flavourful orange pekoe tea. For some reasons, cheaper store brands just don't taste the same, and I love this stuff. And I say a big cup of tea, because I find there is a lot more tea leaves in each bag, so one bag can easily make a full 20 oz cup of tea at the strength I love!
I will always buy this! =)

For myself, I tend to use this most for severely chapped lips. Granted this isn't a great use for it, because petroleum jelly can lock in moisture, but doesn't really add moisture to your skin itself. My suggestion would be to layer this over something like a body butter or moisturizer on your driest skin, so that it can trap in all the moisture from that product.
I also recently used Vaseline to help heal a big cut on my knee, as you aren't supposed to use Polysporin with antibiotics for weeks on end. The vaseline helps to keep your skin supple, and locks in the moisture that helps skin to heal without a scar. Scarring happens most when a cut or wound is left to scab, so keeping it moisturized is key to not scarring.

This scrub is harsh. It is not for delicate or sensitive skin types, and may just be too scratchy to use... however it does work. It can be a bit drying, but it is quite good at fighting a big breakout, and may be good as an occasional thing for oilier skin types.
I wouldn't suggest this as an everyday scrub. Maybe once every week or two? It's intense...

St. Ives® Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub

I'm not sure this cleared acne with any special effectiveness, but I do like this scrub! It's super gentle with tiny little particles that don't feel too scratchy or harsh, but clearly still exfoliate. As long as I use a moisturizer afterwards, I don't find this dries out my skin excessively either, and I like it a lot as a summer/spring face cleanser! -

I love this balm! It smells amazing, first of all, so I want it on my lips all the time... and as someone who doesn't like wearing lip balm, that's pretty important! I use this one pretty frequently, and I love the formula as well. It's not too thick like a plain beeswax balm usually is, but it's not as thin as a Baby Lips or Lipsmacker, so it actually does something for the lips. I like to wear this stuff overnight because I feel like it actually stays on my lips, and during the day because if smells so great! -
Burt's Bees Pomegranate Moisturizing Lip Balm
I do like this balm, I think it works pretty well, but I don't like the scent, so I don't reach for it as much as I could. It's a weird sharp smell to me, almost spicy or peppery, not sweet and fruity. If you apply evnough, I also find it has a... +
I do like this balm, I think it works pretty well, but I don't like the scent, so I don't reach for it as much as I could. It's a weird sharp smell to me, almost spicy or peppery, not sweet and fruity. If you apply evnough, I also find it has a reddish tint that I'm not into, so I usually only use this balm at home. That said, I have used at least 1/3 of the one I have, so it's good, just not the best scent to me! -

Not sure if that's what you're supposed to do, but I've always eaten these pies from frozen, and who doesn't love ice cream pie?! These are delicious, not overly sweet, but not bitter like a dark chocolate, so they should satisfy lots of types of chocolate lovers. Is live to try out the other cream pie flavours! -

I love these cakes, possibly in part because they have a nostalgia attached to them from when KFC used to bundle them with their family meals. But they're also just delicious. Sweet, chocolatey, moist, but not over the top, even the icing is great, and cheap icing can get way too sweet, but this icing is creamy and yum! -

I love the way this gel moisturizer feels on my skin! It's thin and soft, without a silicone feel (that I can detect) that some gel products can have. It doesn't dry too quickly, allowing time to spread the product evenly over the face and neck before it absorbs. Great for under makeup, as it absorbs and feels like next to nothing on the skin in no time. Great day time moisturizer, because of this, and I expect it will be a favourite of mine in the hotter months, when my skin can't stand anything thick or heavy! I expect this would be good for anyone with normal, combo, or oil skin.
Thanks, Chickadvisor, for the chance to test and review this product!
