I take over the counter painkillers for the odd headache. I normally use Advil liquid-gels and have for years but for some reason I thought I'd try Aleve. I did not find the Aleve nearly as effective as my old standby Advil. Will finish the bottle but will not repurchase. -

This is the only antihistamine that has ever worked for me. I have environmental allergies and as soon as I start to feel an allergy attack coming on, I take one tablet and it works to stop the reaction quickly. I always have a pack of these on hand and even keep a few in my purse just in case. -

This is such a great perfume. This was actually the first "high end" perfume I ever owned so when I saw it in my local SDM I had to get a bottle. Unfortunately, they no longer sell Anna Sui products at that location (or maybe at all) so this could be my last bottle of this lovely perfume. It smelled wonderful to me then and it smells wonderful to me now. I was worried it would be too young smelling but its not. A great daytime scent. Fresh and unique. -

I feel like this is expensive for what it is but it is a good basic body lotion. It is on the thicker side so I don't think this would be a good one to use in warm weather but for the winter, its been very helpful. For some reason this product feels very luxurious to use and I am not sure why. It does take some time to soak in so I like to use this right after the shower then allow it to dry down before dressing. Keeps dry, scaly winter skin at bay. It is unscented which I like as I prefer not to have my body lotion be what people smell on me. If you feel like splurging on a body lotion, this would be a good pick. -

I use this as a hand scrub before I apply hand cream in the morning and for that, I love it. The right amount of grit and a little bit of foam. The smell is wonderful as well. I am not sure if this would be gritty enough to truly give the skin on my body a good exfoliation though. I might use something a little more potent on rough body skin. But for the hands, this is perfect. -
This product is a classic for a reason. It works! Zaps little blemishes as well as those ugly, under the skin ones in a few days. Stinks to high heavens but I can deal with the rotten egg smell if it means clear skin. Mario Badescu is a brand that... +
This product is a classic for a reason. It works! Zaps little blemishes as well as those ugly, under the skin ones in a few days. Stinks to high heavens but I can deal with the rotten egg smell if it means clear skin. Mario Badescu is a brand that very rarely lets me down and this zit zapper is no exception. -

Another offensively expensive product at $70 CDN for a 100 ml jar. I tried a sample of this and thankfully did not purchase a jar but for the cost, I expected more. I am a clay mask fan and have tried many over the years, both low and high end. This is the most ho-hum of the bunch. I did not notice an effect on my blackheads, it did not reduce oil and there is no way my pores were minimized. A woefully under-performing product at an overly inflated price. Hard pass on this one! -
This stuff is essentially glorified Vaseline. It feels the same as Vaseline on the lips and has the same texture in the tin. There is nothing wrong with Vaseline mind you so thats not a negative. Its just that I can buy a gigantic tub of Vaseline... +
This stuff is essentially glorified Vaseline. It feels the same as Vaseline on the lips and has the same texture in the tin. There is nothing wrong with Vaseline mind you so thats not a negative. Its just that I can buy a gigantic tub of Vaseline for $3 or a small tin of this stuff for $9. However, I have repurchased this a few times and will probably always have a tin on me. Why? The smell. I just love the smell. It is a nostalgic scent to me that makes me think of happy times. Rosy, slightly powdery, like a perfume my grandmother might have worn in the 1940's. It is moisturizing and I do enjoy using it as a lip balm and cuticle balm but if you don't care for the scent, pick yourself up a tub of Vaseline for a fraction of the price and you will have a product that works just as well. -

I picked one of these up in the shade "sike" on a whim while browsing at the drugstore. I was not expecting to like this as I really do not like matte lipsticks normally. This does dry down to a satiny matte finish which I like. It feels comfortable on and is surprisingly long lasting. I hate the smell of these but its a minor issue. Once it is on, the smell dissipates I find. Sike is a nice, wearable rosy-mauve colour. Perfect for every day. They do have a range of shades as well so if you are looking for a bolder, semi-matte lipstick, these might be worth checking out. I do find I have to be careful applying this though as it has a tendency to rub off on my teeth more so than other lipsticks. -

Not a terribly exciting product but a necessary one! These are great to use mid-day to blot my oily skin. I like that the sheets are large and one side has a light layer of rice powder on it to further mattify the skin. You can choose to use the side with powder or the side without if you do not want to add any extra makeup to your face. Does not disturb my makeup just takes away the oil and makes me feel fresher and more put together. -
