MooGoo - Strawberry Tinted Lip Balm

This is a tinted lip balm with no camphor, paraffins, parabens, or phenoxyethanol.
It has all natural ingredients.

It has a subtle, red tint from beetroot and a wonderful strawberry scent.

A swatch so you can see how tinted it is.

I really like this lip balm!

Tee Gschwendner - Grüner Rooibos Erdbeer-Sahne (Green Rooibos Strawberry Cream)

I wanted just green rooibos for this, but they only had flavored ones.
Since trying it, I'm not mad.

It even has a warm rosy colour.

It has a nice strawberry & cream scent and taste.
It actually tastes like it!

It has green rooibos (not fermented), flavor, strawberry leaves, strawberry pieces, pink berries, and cornflower blossoms.

Tea Advent Calendar - Day 13 - 8 Sinnesfreuden (8 Sensual Pleasures)

It kind of looks like Jupiter XD

This tea has Darjeeling tea SFTGFOP1 (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) , Assam tea Tippy Golden, Golden Yunnan black tea, Keemun black tea, natural aroma, cranberry, yellow marigold, and strawberry.

It tastes ...ok. As with many 'flavoured' balck teas though, this is really more of a scent than a taste.

Also, why put nice teas in this if your just going to put flavour over it? Why blend it?

The Body Shop - Strawberry Soap

This is a decent soap bar, that unfortunately doesn't have much of a scent.

It lathers ok and cleans well.

If you want a decent scent, get the shower gel.

Price: 5/5 ($4.95 for 100g)
Scent: 1/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

Pharmacy Choice - Expectorant Mucolytic - Chesty Cough - Cough Syrup

If you have bacteria-ridden mucus in your lungs (green junk), and expectorant can help get it out.

Expectorant - cough it up (a medicine which promotes the secretion of sputum by the air passages, used to treat coughs).

Mucolytic - breaks up the mucus so it's easier to move.

This one contains guaiphenesin (100mg per 5mL) and bromhexine hydrochloride (3mg per 5mL).

The guaiphenesin is your expectorant and the bromhexine hydrochloride is your mucolytic.

The guaiphenesin will also make medicines like paracetamol have a greater effect.

Even when you get over the counter medication, do check with the pharmacist for any drug interactions with other things you may be on.
I was told to take less than the full adult dose if I intend to also take Seretide.
Knowledge is power.

The flavour is listed as strawberry and vanilla... strawberry and vanilla my butt!
Like all cough syrup, it tastes like misery.

Half an hour after taking it, I cough up some mucus and feel less terrible.

Price: 4/5 ($9.95 for 200mL)
Scent: 1/5 
Effectiveness: 4/5

Burt's Bees - Strawberry - Lip Balm

I'm not normally a huge lip balm fan, but this is a game changer.
This balm is so soft (without being messy) and applies so easily!
It is really moisturising and gives a nice satin finish.

There is a wide range of flavours, I couldn't actually choose (I asked a friend to pick for me).
This isn't a fake strawberry flavour, it is like an unripe strawberry (it is actually really nice).

It is subtle and you wont feel it is overpowering.
J, you picked well!

From now on, if I need a lip balm, THIS is what I'd get :D

Price: 3.5/5 ($6.95)

The Body Shop - Strawberry Hand Cream

For a long time I avoided anything strawberry from the Body Shop because my ex hated berry scents/flavours.

And yet he ate jam...

Now he is gone (dumped not dead) and I can enjoy the wonderful range!

This is a good hand cream with decent thickness. 
It absorbs quickly and smells SO GOOD!
It is jam-like strawberry, not a fake strawberry scent.
It is such a refreshing scent and could see it being amazing in summer!

Price: 4/5 ($6.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent - Palmolive - Body Polish Strawberry

Smells SOOOO amazing! So strawberry!

Scent: 4.9/5

GC Tooth Mousse Plus

Starting when I was ~15 years old, my lips began to crack and peel and bleed. I had to cover them in Vaseline constantly to prevent pain and further damage. Fast forward to two years ago when I went to a (unfortunately rude) skin specialist who suggested I may be allergic to toothpaste.
I stopped using the minty staple and my lips repaired... I am allergic to toothpaste.

But if I can't use toothpaste, what can I use on my tooty-pegs?

The answer is GC Tooth Mousse Plus

It comes in flavours like vanilla, strawberry, melon, tutti-frutti, and mint (I avoid this last one).
It is activated by saliva and is full of lovely fluoride (don't even bother sending me your 'fluoride is the devil' conspiracy nonsense).

 The only drawback is it is very expensive (~$30 for 40g) but I have no other choice :(

Price: 1/5 ($21.95 for 40g)
Scent: 3.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Masquerade! - Pure Smile, Strawberry Essence Mask

This sheet mask smelled moderately of strawberries (strong scent in the sheet mask world)! 
It was awesome!

It is meant to be brightening and moisturising, I only really saw a hydrating effect. 

It also contains vitamin E, collagen, hyaluronic acid and arbutin.
