Gap Favorite Lip Balm's Mango Zest

With an SPF of 18, this fruity lip balm does indeed protect your lips, as well as moisturize. The scent is quite nice and edible (I wasn't so fond of it at first, but it's been growing on me), and my lips feel very smooth and soft.

Since the winter has been here, I've been dealing with these annoying flaky dry skin problems, and so this product has really been helping with that.

I first discovered it when I was in the nearest Gap, checking out my clothes. There was a huge jar full of these, and the labels were so decadent-sounding that I couldn't resist digging through them. Each name is really appetizing; there were so many to pick from, so many varieties, mostly fruity, but some were minty. In the end, I picked Mango Zest because I loved the smell of mango, and I didn't regret it.

Among other flavors, I noticed:
-Vanilla Parfait
-Tangy Pomegranate
-Banana Smoothie
-Citrus Frost
-Lemon Sugar
-Mango Souffle
-Apple Tart
-Cranberry Splash
-Guava

When I first opened it up, it was a little stiff, but it gets better and softer with each use. I've applied it on almost everyday now, and it lasts for a really long time - like up to four hours. It's also not too obnoxiously sweet-smelling (which I heartily dislike from some other lip balms), but the scent is definitely detectable. It won't bother you too much when you eat though, which is also nice.

Overall: I definitely recommend this product. It's also super easy to find. So if you need lip balm, you can consider Gap! Never would've expected a clothing store to have such a nice selection.

Himalaya Herbals' Purifying Neem Face Wash

A soap-free, herbal formulation that gently removes impurities and prevents pimples. Neem, well-known for its antibacterial properties, kills problem-causing bacteria, and Tumeric effectively controls acne and pimples. Use regularly for clear, soft and pimple-free skin.

Moisten face and neck; apply a small amount and gently work up a lather using a circular motion. Wash off and pat dry. Use twice daily.

My Skin Type: Combination.

Product Description: Has a consistency like jelly, works like a gel. Takes a while to lather up and become soapy, you may have to rub it on your skin in a circular motion for a while. Very soothing to the skin, has no fragrance.

Results: While this product isn't bad, I haven't seen amazing results either. As you can see from the picture, I am far from acne-free. The product may be soothing and cooling on my face, but it doesn't really help with pimples like it said it would.

What I Did: I cleansed everyday, following the instructions. I rubbed it together in my hands until it became soapy, and then massaged it into my face.
