I have sensitive skin that is dry in some places and oily in others.
I found this scrub worked really well for my skin; it exfoliated well, without exacerbating any of my skin problems. I find with a lot of scrubs they either dried out my skin too much, made it even oilier (I know!), or really irritated my skin. After using it for a few weeks I noticed my skin looked clearer and brighter, as well as feeling baby soft!

I have this lipstick in Cherry Wine, a rich red colour.
First of all, if you get this shade, do NOT expect it to be opaque. It is sheer, and no matter how much you apply, it will always be sheer. I found that if you just slick it on your lips it won't last very well and it gets patchy very easily.
However, I found it works pretty well if you want some colour on your lips, but still want it to look 'natural'.
Its works best if you (1) apply it to your top lip, (2) rub your lips together and then (3) use your finger to even out the colour (I find that I have to rub it in a bit with my finger to avoid patchiness).This effect makes me think of how I always pictured Snow White's lips being, you know how in the stories they always mention her having 'blood red lips'.
I tested this out one day and applied at about 9 am and then didn't have to re-apply until about 2 pm, so it lasts pretty well.
Also, beware of applying this over lip-balm. When I did it I ended up with little flaky red things all over my lips (not a good look).

The cream has a thick, mousse-like texture and is very light on the skin.
I really like this product, it evens out my skin tone, reduces the appearances of blemishes (for me anyway) and leaves my skin with a healthy glow!
I am very pale and have been using it in light, at first I was worried it would be too dark for me but it blends in really well - as long as I don't apply too much (and you CAN apply too much).
The only downside is it can make skin a bit shiny, which I don't really mind, except for on my nose and T-zone, but thats nothing a little powder can't fix! Also I think that if you are prone to break-outs this product might just make that worse, so steer clear.

I'm a bit on the fence about his one, some days I love it other days... blah!
First of all, the pearly shine. I generally don't like anything that describes itself as 'pearl/pearly' (excluding actual pearls of course) as it reminds me of old ladies and I feel it sort of makes the shiny parts of my face look worse and most days if I put this on I immediately rub it off. But everynow and then I don't mind the pearly look of this, I think maybe because of the subtle pink it adds to the lips.
Secondly the moisturising aspect. I didn't find this to be as moisturising as other Nivea lips balms I've tried, and infact on some days it was kind of drying, but compared to other supposedly moisturising lipsticks/lip glosses I've tried this one was OK.
Third the scent. I LOVE the smell of this lip balm! It smells like cream and lollies and fruit (apricot?) and I like to carry this around in my bag just so I can have a sniff everynow and then! :D
I think its worth noting that this has quite an unpleasant chemically taste to it, I don't know if maybe its just me (I have quite sensitive tastebuds) but it kind of tastes like bubble bath... don't ask me how a know that.

I found this lip balm to be really nourishing and it help get my lips nice and smooth again after I had a cold a while ago which caused them to become dry and flaky.
My only problem with it is that I found it kind of hard to get much product on my lips as it has an almost waxy feel to it.

I quite like this lip balm, it goes on smoothly and leaves a slight gloss to the lips.
I found that with this lip balm at first it didn't work so well but with repeated use it gradually made my lips softer or more nourished. This may seem a bit weird, but I also really like the packaging. I know its just a simple twist up one, but before this I used a lot of lips balms in tubs and I got really fed up with having greasy fingers after I'd apply it to my lips.
The only downside to this is the smell, which I've sort of gotten used to, but it's a sort of weird, musky lemon scent (if that makes sense) and when I bought this I barely used it because of the smell.
