Mentos Mini Rainbow Bag, 120g

These mini rainbow rolls are a hit with me and with anyone I've shared them with in the last month. It isn't just the colorful packaging and the mini size, which makes me feel less guilty at eating anything sweet, but also the chewable flavors: strawberry, grape, orange, watermelon and yuzu. Sweet, but not overly so. Flavors are totally different between each item but I'm not sure if they fully correspond with the names given to them. Very lovely overall. Ingredients are not too chemical for a lolly, something that I always appreciate.

Aphrosmile 100% Pure Rosehip Oil for Massage, 30ml

This is a wonderful oil that spreads well, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin hydrated and nourished without any greasy residue. In a way, it is a dry oil not an oily oil.

I use this oil instead of my regular hand/arm cream when I notice signs of irritation or redness in my skin, I had some cuts or wounds that I want healed, to rub my cuticles when doing my DIY manicure, and also to remove hair-color stains after DIY tinting my hair.

I love the vintage-look bottle and the branding. The drop dispenser is great to prevent using too much product and using the right amount.

The smell is nothing I would use in aromatherapy as it is the oil natural scent and it isn't especially aromatic, not bad but nothing that I would put my nose to it, if you know what I mean.

Mind, the oil can stain your clothes if falls on them, as it has the oil natural yellow-orange color.

Good product but a bit pricey.

Jergens Ultra Healing Hand & Body Cream, 100 ml

This is a good cream overall. It spreads evenly, it's absorbed quickly and leaves my hands moisturized without any residue or greasy feeling. The mouth dispenser is well designed to prevent wasting product, something that it's really important as this cream is not such, but more a body milk. I have sensitive skin and I haven't noticed any reaction to this cream, which is great. The tube has a considerable size and it's good value for money.

On the downside, although I like this cream, I don't find it especially healing or really not better on my hands than other creams or oils. I have mixed feelings about the scent, too. On the one hand, it's subtle, but on the other, it's also odd. I would say that it has a wax/honey-ish sort of scent, but the scent is quite peculiar and it's one of those that polarize people. In my case, I find it odd but not unpleasant and it doesn't clash with my perfume, yet I don't find it appealing either.

Overall a good cream, but not intensive or really healing and it is not especially natural. No indication on whether the cream is cruelty free or not, or tested on animals or not.

Chupa Chups Best of Lollipops, 8 Lollipop Bag

Yummy selection of Chupa-Chups. This was a hit with my co-workers an with me. It has four popular flavors: cola, watermelon, strawberries and cream, and strawberry. To me, the cola and watermelon flavors are the best of the lot. The other two are yummy but also a bit too sweet for me. Overall a great taster bag

Burts Bees Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment, 7.08 g

This is a good quality lip treatment, that spreads evenly and leaves my lip moisturized if I use it overnight, giving it time to do its job. A tiny amount of product is enough to cover my lips, and the tiny container can fit even in a wallet. I love the brand and the fact that the product is cruelty free, too.

However, t I find this treatment as good as any other lip treatment out there if you leave it overnight, but it's more expensive. Flavor is minimal. As the product has peppermint oil in it, there is a slightly hint/after-taste of it, something I dislike.

To be fair, this is a good product, does the job and is not glamorous, but does the same job as cheaper products I've used in the past.

DermaVeen Extra Gentle Shower and Bath Oil, 1L

I have been using this body wash for several years now as I have irritation-prone skin tat gets really itchy with other body washes in summer.

This isn't an oil per se, but an oil-ish body wash mostly made out of paraffin and colloidal oatmeal.I don't use this on a sponge, just directly on my skin. It spreads evenly despite not foaming, and leaves my skin supple and moisturized without any itchiness. I have tried other sensitive-skin washes by the same brand and by other brands and this is the best for my skin.

I love the marzipan-like smell of the product, something that puts off some people. The most important thing is that this is my fav body wash when my skin is showing signs of irritation, rash or itchiness.

The 1L bottle is great value for money, not only because it's does wonders for my skin, but also because it lasts me for months.

I love the fact that the product is vegan and non tested on animals.

Chupa Chups 3D Fizzy Drinks Lollipops, 6 Lollipops, 90g

I bought this packet to sample the three flavors. By far, the cola flavor is my favorite. It really replicates the taste of any main bubbly cola drink out there, and the balance of flavor and sweetness is great The tropical and orange flavors are true to the flavors of known brands fizzy drinks, but, this being the case, they are also very sweet or too sweet for me These lollipops are bigger than the average Chupa Chups and are flatfish not round. Value for money.

28/10/2022 CHUPA CHUPS CHEWS
These chews are really addictive, in a good way, and they've been a hit with my coworkers. The bag has a good amount of lollies. They come in three flavors and I love them all, but my pals have their own preferences as some of them prefer just one of the varieties in the package. I love the fact that they aren't overly sweet and that the flavors are what they've meant to be. They don't stick to my teeth as badly as others do, which is really great. On the other hand, the individual wrapping is not the best as it tends to stick to the lollies and they are sometimes difficult to open. Also, the amount of the three flavors is not equal, and some of the flavors are over-present in some of the bags. I wish they did this in other flavors, too. I've already bought 4 packages of these, and a bag disappear as soon as I share them, which doesn't always happens with other sweets my pals and I share. I will buy again.
