I always use this heat tamer spray when I straighten my hair. It helps protect my hair from heat damage, and also helps minimize frizz. It smells light and fruity, although the scent doesn't stick around for long.
My hair is visibly smoother and softer to the touch after I use this spray. I use it maybe 3-4x a month (about as often as I straighten my hair) and one 236ml bottle has lasted me 6 months. I've already bought a back up!

I LOVE the smell of this, it smells like orange blossoms. It's a light fragrance that will fade away while on your hair.
This product has minimal hold, and shouldn't be used for huge updo's, but it is good at keeping flyaways down for a simple pony tail look. I love using it to keep my hair straight for the whole day (I have naturally wavy hair that doesn't hold a straightened look for longer than 4 hours).
Spray it at your roots for a little bit of boosted volume! You can layer it for more hold if needed.
Tresemme products are usually high quality for the low drugstore price.

I always find CO Bigelow / Bath & Body Works products to be overly expensive. They aren't anything special or fancy, yet they charge $8 a lipgloss. I personally am not a fan of their prices, but I don't purchase these glosses on my own, the only ones I have are ones I've been gifted.
These are all mint or mint-related flavours (Cinnamint, for one). They are a sweet mint flavor, and leave your lips tingly and your breath fresh. They are thin lip glosses with little to no shimmer, but they leave your lips with a glossy shine. They also moisturize your lips without being sticky.
They're pretty decent lip glosses, but you could find something either better or of the same quality for cheaper.

I bought these from a beauty outlet near me for $4, but they are also available at Walmart for $7.96
I looked at both these and the normal "cleansing" wipes, but decided that I'd go with the exfoliating ones because I have dry skin on parts of my face... Bad idea. It says they are good for sensitive skin, but I don't agree at all.
These do really well at removing makeup, but keep them away from your eye area. They are REALLY abrasive, and will hurt your sensitive skin areas (your eyes being one of them). They literally feel like you are taking moist sandpaper to your skin. You have to use a really light touch with them, or you're going to make your skin red and sore. They didn't help with my dry skin at all, but also didn't make it worse.
They are fragrance free and contain Vitamin E and B5, which helps moisturize your skin. Which I found really did moisturize, it's just the rough texture I can't get over. These are so painful, I don't know why they make them so rough! They also contain parabens, so if you're anti-paraben, don't buy these.

Avon frequently comes out with limited edition scents of their lip balm. These "sets" are usually released for holidays or seasons. A set will normally have 4 different fragrances in it.
All the lip balms tend to be the same, mild fragrance that leaves a slight flavor. Neither of those are very long lasting though and usually go away within 10 minutes or so.
The lip balms aren't very thick, but do feel very moisturizing. They are smooth and non sticky.
The packaging is usually adorable and festive. For 0.99 these are worth a look at.

I used this three times after completing my regular facial routine and every time I'd use it, within 24 hours I'd break out.... I have combo skin and am not normally acne prone.
The lotion is very thin and oily, and if you have sensitive or acne prone skin you'll know immediately that it's going to make you break out. It says it's good for sensitive skin, but I don't think so.
The fragrance is non existent which is nice, but I'm not sensitive to fragrances in the first place.
I wish I'd bought a smaller container of it to try out, but now I'm stuck with a 1L bottle of lotion I'll probably never use.

I got these on clearance at Target - I paid $5 for a pack of 40. It also came with a travel sized pack of 10.
They have a light cucumber fragrance that doesn't irritate my eyes or my skin. They feel very soft and are pretty average at getting rid of my face makeup. I don't use them on my eyes though because I find they don't do a good job at removing either eyeliner or mascara. They do remove foundation really nicely though.
They leave a weird residue on your skin, so I always wash my face after using them.

I bought this at Bath & Body Works for $5.99. I have it in the scent "Honey Apple".
The fragrance reminds me a lot of Lip Smackers because of it's overly "artificial sweetener" scent. It does have a slight apple fragrance, but not very much. The Honey isn't even apparent in this product. It has a slight plastic taste to it though.
The balm is clear, but has a bit of shimmer to it. It's a medium thickness formula that tends to be rather sticky. It is fairly moisturizing, but not enough for me.
It's an alright balm, not really anything special. It's worth more because it's got the Bath & Body Works name on it, but not for any other reason. I'd go with a cheaper alternative. The scent isn't overly unique or special either.

I purchased this lip balm at Target for $2.99
I love the fact that it has SPF in it, because that's really important in the summer. Sun Burnt lips are no fun! This lip balm has a very mild mint fragrance, but it is certainly there. It also tastes kinda minty and leaves a light "tingle" on your lips.
The texture is very smooth, although this isn't a thick balm. It isn't a thin balm either though, it's more of a "perfect center" thickness.

I as well grew up with Lip Smackers. I have fond memories of getting some and trying out all the flavors. My favorite was the bubble gum one. Now, as an (almost) adult I've gone back and purchased some more of these nostalgic items.
I bought a gift set that featured many of the "classic" flavors. I find that those "multi packs" or gift sets are the best way to go about purcasing Lip Smackers, as they can be quite expensive on their own. Plus these make a great gift for any kid! Most flavors are very gender neutral and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.
These lip balms smell (and taste) delicious. Most are very true to name, and you can tell exactly what they're supposed to smell/taste like. The lip balm is a thicker consistancy and can be rather sticky. I don't find these to be that moisturizing at all.
These are more of a "fun" lip balm, and not really a "heavy duty" one. They're cute to have and the flavors are fun to use every once in a while but these lip products aren't going to prevent chapped lips, or help solve your dry lips.
I also own a few of the "novelty" scents, such as A&W;Root Beer. The Holiday scents such as "Apple Cider" and the more "Fun" scents like Cookie Dough.
