I received Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream along with a bunch of other goodies customized to my skin type after filling out a questionnaire. I wanted to like you, Hyaluronic Eye Cream, I really did! Alas, after trying it for a while now, I have realized that it is not "workin' for me."The texture of the eye cream is creamy and rich, probably too rich. When I apply it, even...

Upon receiving a LL Bean gift card for my birthday last year, I was very excited. Excited because I had been wanting to purchase this ice cream ball for ages, and finally I was going to get it.Not once while we have used it has it come apart while tossing! Great product! I love LL Bean! It does indeed make ice cream, Its good for older kids because they can throw the ball around and watch the i...

I received a parcel of Mario Badescu samples recently, and I was really excited to try them all out. All of the samples were customized for my skin-type after I filled out a questionnaire. The first sample I tried was the Seaweed Night Cream. It is a lightly fragranced, mint-green colored oil-free moisturizing cream. The cream smells a bit like cucumber and baby powder. Before putting...

These are the only flavorings that I know of that are available for the LL Bean ice cream ball, they are sugar free - which is always a plus and each bottle lasts for three quarts of ice cream. A quart of ice cream cal be made at each time with the ball. In the pack of four you get - Chocolate fudge, strawberry, black raspberry and mint chocolate.I have found that I get more like two flavorings...

This ice cream dipper may not look like much, but it is one of the most used items in my kitchen.  Ok, that shows I eat more ice cream than I should, but with this scooper it's easy to do.  The handle of the dipper is filled with a liquid that heats up with the warmth of your hand.  The warm scoop will glide through your ice cream with ease.  I have only had one containe...

Pampered Chef Ice Cream Dipper (model #2730) is a very handy tool I have been using for several years now. It is made of aluminum, and the handle is filled with a defrosting liquid. As you take it into your hand, the warmth of your hand warms up the liquid; the warmth then goes into the dipping part, which makes scooping ice cream an easy task. How many spoons have you bent trying to serve hard...

I was given this pretty-looking glass jar of Lancome Renergie Cream as a gift on my trip to Europe - a kingly gift, as I now see, having checked its price and almost having a heart attack at seeing it sold for $75 on Amazon.The 75 ml (2.5 oz) jar has lasted me over two months (of course, I did my best to use it sparingly). The cream is applied to face and throat, daily. It smells wonderful...

I admit that I'm a woman "of age", so I'm concerned about the fine lines that are starting to appear on my face.  My regular skin care was fine, but I felt like I needed to buy a product that was specifically formulated to get rid of wrinkles. I searched the skin care aisle for what seemed like hours, and found Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream.  This MUST b...

As someone who suffers from eczema, I probably know all the creams and lotions that the doctors prescribe. Most of the ones that actually did some good for me contained Corticosteroids, which have side effects. Even topical steroids for medical use can be bad for you, especially if used too often.My eczema began about 10 years ago and it was on my face and neck. It came out of nowhere...

Winter time is coming so I made sure I bought a new tube of this hand cream. I have always had a problem with dry skin and my hands do tend to  get extremely dry during cold weather. This cream is very soothing (they say it is the oatmeal) , non-greasy, fragrance free and one tube usually lasts all winter. I can't say that it prevents my hands from getting dry but it sure soothes ...

Nair Upper Lip Cream is generally okay for removing upper lip hair. I bought this product about a year ago after trying various other depilatory creams, bleaches, and home waxing kits. I found Nair Upper Lip Cream to be more effective than some of these other products, but there are several drawbacks associated with Nair Upper Lip Cream. First, there is the smell. Most depilatory creams have a ...

I am a trained first aider and I have been using Metsal Cream for almost any muscle injuries! I was introduced to this product when I was still very actively involved in the ambulance service and we used to go out to Sport's Carnivals and such pretty frequently.I then got one for home use and I must say I am loving the product! The smell can be a tad too strong but after a while, you just g...

I have a relatively dry and rough skin. So I have to invariably use some kind of moisturising cream. I found CeraVe Moisturising cream the best option. This cream is has a sweet fragrance and also dye free. I also apply this cream on my cracked heals and believe me it made wonders.   This cream is clinically proven to increase skin hydration. It contains components of the skin that pl...

Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream is formulated to help regenerate skin by renewing its outer layer. It comes in a convenient 1.7 fl.oz. plastic bottle and contains, among other things, "concentrated amino-peptide complex" - that's what does the regenerating.When I first tried this cream, I expected to see instant improvement like some online reviewers had rep...

I have been useing Biore Pore Perfect Shine Control Cream Cleanser for about 9 months now.  I was lucky enough to be able to get a bunch of it on clearance (so I payed less than the price I listed, that is the average non-sale price) and I stocked up.  I do like this cleanser as it does no dry my face too much and it suds up well and rinses clean easily.  It does not leave your f...

Estee Lauder's DayWear Plus Multi Protection Anti-Oxidant Cream SPF 15 can help protect your skin from signs of aging.

Neutrogena Hand Cream is surprisingly effective in helping with worn out hands that need to no longer be rough from the cold.Warning, men: I'm about to review a skin lotion. The horror!Neutrogena is an American brand that makes its lotions right here in the USA.I've settled on Neutrogena Hand Cream, fragrance free, as an effective way to replenish the hands. It also helps with worn elbo...

I have been trying a lot of different facial care products over the last 6 months or so. I'm kind of obsessed I guess with delaying the effects of aging. I don't have any real wrinkles, just some expression lines( creases ) starting to show up between the eyebrows and maybe some smile lines as well. Other than that my eye area has some fine lines and wrinkles,I have these darn (dark) s...
