Burt's Bees - Baby - Nourishing Lotion


This is a really nice, rich lotion with a lovely scent (like baby powder meets dark honey).
It is made of 98.9% natural ingredients and unlike so many of Burt's Bees other products, this doesn't have a problem with the formula separating.
It is non-irritating and I really like this lotion.

Price: 1/5 ($11.93 for 170mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Art Break! - Engagement Card for S and J



This will be a quick one since I don't have progress pictures (sorry).

I used a purple background (a favourite colour of the couple). 
The flowers were varied as I wanted it to look like a botanical garden. I drew them with pencil then coloured them with water colour paint.
The two foxes (our couple) are also pencil and water colour.
I did two gold rings with acrylic paint and the gems on the engagement ring (in the style of her engagement ring) are arranged on silver foil paper.

Prokudent - Zahnseide (Dental Floss) - Black Sensitive



This is a dental floss with activated charcoal, which gives it it's cool black colour. It has a mint flavour.

The packaging is cool, you twist it to open and close it.

It is a thick floss (width-wise), which makes it great for removing anything between the teeth.
Price: 3/5 ($1.57 for 25m)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Принцесса Нури (Princess Noori) - Tea - бергамот (bergamot)


This is a flavoured black tea from Russia, the one I tried was bergamot (Earl Grey) but they have many flavours to choose from.


I really liked this. The black tea wasn't bitter and the bergamot flavour was strong (just the way I like it).
Often with flavoured teas the flavour is more of a scent, this tea doesn't have that problem.
I cannot speak for all of the flavours they offer, but if they are anything like the bergamot one, they will be fantastic.

Price: 5/5 ($1.33 AUD for 25 teabags)
Rating: 5/5

Burt's Bees Baby - Daily Cream to Powder



This is a diaper cream that is meant to have a powdery finish.
And it does dry down to a powder, which is cool.

It has a soapy scent which is quite strong, so if you don't like they way it smells, you are in for a bad time. I personally like the scent though.
The product also boasts to be 99% natural, which includes a natural fragrance.
It also has no phthalates, parabens, mineral oil or SLS.

I really wanted to like this product, but it separates almost immediately.
You go to squeeze some out of the tube and just the oil part comes out.
If you have a baby, this product is just annoying and is going straight in the bin!

It's a nice idea, but it needs to be reformulated.

Price: 1/5 ($12.24 for 113g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

Hair Removal Sponge



This is a double sided sponge.
The pink side is like a very fine sand paper to break the hair.
The blue is a 'polishing' side (read: useless)

You are meant to rub it in a circular fashion on moist skin (but not taking the sponge into the shower with you).

And... Nothing! (as expected)

Save your pennies.

Price: 5/5 ($1.24 for one)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Facelle - Slipeinlagen (Panty liners) - normal



These panty liners have no scent, which is nice.

It doesn't cost much for a box of 50, so they are great value for money!

They aren't the most robust, they do tend to break up a bit by the end of the day, but not to the point to being unusable.
Not my favourite design, but they work in a pinch.

Price: 5/5 ($1.87 for 50 liners)
Effectiveness: 4/5
