E.O.S. A New Lip Balm?!





     I was on the hunt when I went to Walmart one day for some skincare to clear up the dry patches on my face, which I have been combating for years now.  I just happened to look down as I walked down an isle when I caught a glimpse of an e.o.s. lip balm in an unfamiliar color.  I had seen yellow, green, and a peachy pink, but a baby pink? I had to check it out. I read on the packaging that it was "strawberries n creme." I have once tried a summer fruit lip balm of theirs and liked it. This has been some while ago, and no longer having one of my own I decided to pick this up.  When I once got home and opened it up for a sniff, I found that it smelled exactly as described.  It is great they put so much product in the packaging. It lasts a long time; considerably longer than, let's say the Avon chapsticks.  I purchased three or four e.o.s. lipbalms for my mother one christmas and she still hasn't finished them. And since it is natural and organic when my two year old baby doll sees me putting it on and wants some, I can apply some on her wee lips without any worries.  I have to clean it often as it seems to collect any debris that may be on my lips; ergo skin flakes ect. I use it every night after my skin care routine before going to bed. During the cold winter months it does help prevent my lips from being chapped.  My only complaint is, as a friend of mine once put it, it is difficult to put in a jean pocket.

Smells so yummy!

mark. Rebel Rose Perfume Review

  I am aware that this scent, released in 2008, is now discontinued by mark avon. However, feeling that this fragrance can still be found on eBay, I still wanted to do a review for this product.
  I purchased this perfume shortly after my wedding, in 2008.  Every time I spray it on, memories come flooding back...our first apartment, the crisp fall air,  the exciting joys of being newly weds; it's like coming back home to a safe place, before the poor economy hit our lives like a hurricane, before the struggles, and before all the daily demands strained us as lovers and as individuals...
I do have quite a bit left; I hope they bring it back before I run out!
  For me personally, this is my pick me up.  I do have quite a bit left, as I use it sparingly (because I can no longer find it easily at avon).  After research online, I found some had given it a rating of 3.5, and everyone is titled to their own opinion. I rate it 4.5.  This is one of my best scents, and I do have many fragrances, ranging from cheap impressions, to avon, to a designer.  I normally wear this scent when I am going out at night. I normally dislike musks, but because this has just enough vanilla to soften it, I find myself quite enthralled.  It has been my go to for girls' night out, late night shopping at the mall, and the rare date night.  I actually did purchase it when Avon, at the time, had a sale. My husband was making very good money then, before the economy took a bad turn. This was one of four perfumes I bought. This was where my perfume collection started. 
  Then notes are divinely intertwined. A symphony of notes that entails rose, spiced with pink pepper, pink musk, and a dash of vanilla.  This scent is not for everyone. Some find it to strong, while other rose-lovers, as myself, adore it.
  I do hope one day, when I do run out, that I will be able to find it. This once was priced at eighteen dollars from avon, now it can be found on eBay or Amazon. Prices ranging from 49.99 to 24.99. So, the price has gone up considerably since its first release, as is the case with many discontinued fragrances. I would recommend finding a sample size online, if one is unsure about spending so much on a perfume they have never tried. 
  I love this fragrance. I do hope that mark. Avon brings it back (along with another scent they discontinued that I will be running out of soon).
