NIVEA Pearly Shine Lip Balm
I definitely would recommend this lip balm to anyone. Especially those of us who have dry lips that either have peeling or cracking issues. It smells nice too. This lip balm applies on nice and you only need to use twice a day.

This is an unique lip balm that I recently discovered. I put it on and it lasted half the day unlike some other lip balms that wear off after a couple of hours. It goes on your lips smooth, has a really nice smell to it. What also sets eos lip balms apart is that you don't get that weird, waxy taste on your tongue if you accidentally lick your lips. These have came down on price lately so it's more affordable. Would definitely recommend! -

I've been buying these off and on for years. They have a nice smooth, deep taste to them and remind me a lot of the chocolates and hazelnut we would get from Germany. I do feel they are expensive though, and should be used as more of a "treat" than a candy bar like Hershey that you would buy multiple times a week. I would recommend Ferrero Rocher especially as a holiday gift. -

I don't normally buy many of the higher brand perfumes but I was in Macy's one day shopping and decided to try this out. My husband didn't mind it being the holidays and all :P. I tried several of the Chanel perfumes but kept coming back to this one. It's not a very overwhelming perfume, reminds me of the Estee Lauder Pure White Linen. It has a strong but almost baby powdery scent that just made me fall in love. It also lasts all day which is important to me and why I often dislike some of the cheaper body sprays/perfumes. I'm one of those type of women who like to spray herself a few times in the morning then you're all good for work/outing. I would highly recommend this version of Chanel. -

This is one of the best laundry scent boosters on the market. It is also one of the most expensive, so I rated price as average. You put as little or as much as you want at start of wash cycle. You don't need much as the scent carries on for a few weeks even if your clothes are still hanging in closet. I get this usually when I have coupons or is on sale. Otherwise its Snuggle Boosters or Purex Crystals for my family. -
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser
This cleanser is a good, budget priced facial product. When I was younger, it used to burn my face. Now that I'm in my 30s, this doesn't sting anymore. Also, I find that it works better as a scrub twice a week to help get rid of break outs.

I basically bought this so that I could try out a new body wash. I love most of Dove's beauty soaps and other lines like Cool Moisture so I picked this up. I was pleasantly surprised by the scent, which wasn't too "peachy" per say. It made my skin feel soft and lathered up well. I found that I didnt have to use alot to get a good lather going which is a problem I have with some of the other body washes currently available on shelves! All in all, Fresh Burst is something that I will pick up to freshen my day or to try something new. -

Just because you're female doesn't mean you can't be a hardcore video game person because I am! I wanted a system that could compliment the Wii's family friendly Wiimote based titles and traditional Nintendo games. This was the system that did it.
First of all the Xbox 360 has a plethora of games in multiple genres for everyone to enjoy. While I mostly play rpgs and action/adventure titles on it there's many titles. You have casual titles like Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Splosion Man, action/adventures(Kameo: Elements of Power, Ninja Gaiden II, etc.), rpgs(Infinite Undiscovery, Fable II, Final Fantasy 13, etc.), survival horror(Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill: Homecoming, etc.), and of course the FPSs(Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc.). Anyone that likes to play video games should be able to find something that they like to play. This was one of my complaints with the original Xbox, it focused too heavily on shooters and left the rest of us out.
The other big feature of Xbox 360 is the online community. You need to buy a Xbox Live Gold membership card for most of the online capabilities. A small fee compared to what you're getting. What are you getting? Full access to dozens of game demos for released and future titles(including 100% game titles that the average Joe made only available online). If you have a title that has online modes or is entirely multiplayer, then you'll be able to play online with the Gold status. There's even Netflix and Facebook built-in applications where you can stream movies with your Netflix account or browse Facebook and chat with friends. I really like the fact that you can create an avatar that represents you in a virtual world for your other buddies/friends to share(kinda like the Wii :P). And parental controls will help with your children for their online activities, though nothing beats real life supervision! Or you can just pop in a DVD and watch it. Really something for everyone here.
One thing to remember is to have a TV that's either HD(high definition) compatible or SD(standard definition) with component inputs. Technology has advanced and neither the 360 nor PS3(Playstation 3) will work on many of the pre-HD era televisions. The 360 has other features but I think this is a good review for the basics. I hope you liked the review!

Not too many movies do I come into expecting one thing, seeing something else, and not being DISAPPOINTED with it. Well, I Am Legend actually achieved this. The movie is a good lesson on what can happen to our world if scientists create a viral outbreak that wipes out most of the human population. This was heartwarming and emotional. While not having many characters, you found a strong connection with the few that were actually in this including Will's dog. What happened to the dog brought back memories of Old Yella. What's funny is that the dog was a better actor than many actual people in numerous other films I've seen. Also, the sense of survival is real and influences Will's action and sometimes even the ultimate sacrifice. This is definitely a MUST watch! -

I wasn't able to find a review for this so I created my own! This is what Ive been using high school. It works, it smells great, and I haven't had any skin irritation out of it. When I buy it, I normally get the 2 for $4 promotions that are going on at Walmart or at Target(for a slightly higher price). Secret works good too as an alternative. -
