TOPBOX CIRCLE REVIEW: Jergens Oil Infused Moisturizer & Laritzy Lip Stix

@jergens #jergens #gotitfree #oilinfusedmoisturizer #vitamine #topboxcircle

"This nourishing oil blend is infused with skin conditioning moisturizers and Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, to reveal more vibrant looking skin.
  •  Use daily and give your skin a wake-up call.
  • Oil-Infused formulas from Jergens Skincare lock in long-lasting hydration with the moisturizing power of essential ingredients to give you visibly beautiful skin."

My Thoughts:  I did enjoy this but does it have anything special going on over any other typical moisturizer?  I would have to say no.  There is another brand out there (blue cherry blossom packaging) that is "oil-infused", and I have to say I would chose that over this.  

It almost has a slight watered down vaseline type feel to it.  It does dry very quickly into the skin but I find after a few minutes my skin feels like I haven't put anything on it.  If you have tried Jergens moisturizers before you know they kind of have their own signature scent. This is no exception.  It's not bad or anything.  It's signature. LOL. 

As for price.  At my local dept. store at the moment, this tube of 100ml is $3.00 (Cdn).  Which isn't bad.  But like I mentioned above, I'd go with a different brand of oil infused moisturizer, if I had to chose between the two.

As for any information I can give you there's not much.  
At this moment there is no information on Laritzy Cosmetics website about any Lip Stix, products except a sharpener. Lol. 

 All I got from the packaging is that it's Paraben Free, designed in Montreal (made in China), and I received the shade Blossom.


My Thoughs:  Sadly, I have to say I didn't not like this. It's a pretty color (Blossom). Lightly nude pink color.  It goes on super easy.  Sometimes with thick lip crayons you can go astray very quickly (if your like me).  But here is where the sadly, comes in.  It doesn't last very long at all and it dries your lips out in such a short amount of time.  

I'm always excited to receive new lip products to try, in hopes to find a new "the one" but sadly (again) this doesn't not cut it :(  And for this fact I can't find anyyyy information (maybe not launched yet?) on Lip Stix products it's kinda questionable ??

Men's Axe: Body Wash & Deodorant Body Spray (Sneakers & Cookies)

@thexystuff #TheXYStuff #axesneakersCookies #axe


Body Wash

"Get clean and rejuvenated with Axe Sneakers & Cookies Body Wash for Men. Sneakers and Cookies is a scent that brings together two things that shouldn’t work together but do! You have to try it to believe it!"


Husbands Thoughts:

By just reading the name of this body wash, wasn’t too sure what to expect from this. The scent/name is a bit gimmicky, but I guess that’s sometimes the point, to get people curious. So from that stand point, it was pretty creative. 

As for the actual body wash, the scent is slightly comparable to Irish Spring, but as a more masculine aspect. Not too over power, just right. The body wash does it’s job. Lathers up good, but left skin feeling a bit tight/dry. 

Would still buy this in the future. 



Deodorant Body Spray

"You leave home looking sharp – polished shoes, perfect hair. You look good. Because you’ve got something different. A hook. A twist. A signature scent that’s so subtle it’s almost subliminal. Sneakers and Cookies is a scent that brings together two things that shouldn’t work together but do!"


Husbands Thoughts:

Axe usually has some good products. The name is just a bit gimmicky, but creative. This body spray, is just so so, according to my husband. It does it’s job, but the scent is just a little off, for him and me. More or less just personal taste. Would he buy this again? The Axe brand? Yes. This particular scent of body spray? No.



Thanks to the XYStuff club & Axe, for the chance to try & test these products for free.

Tylenol Rapid Release Gels
 Extra Strength

"Starts to dissolve in seconds and relieves pain fast."




"Tylenol Rapid Release Gels are tough on pain, but gentle on your stomach, providing fast, effective relief. Tylenol Rapid Release Gels provide temporary relief of fever and minor aches and pains, including headaches, joint pain and back pain. Get effective relief for toothaches and menstrual related pains as well. Each gelcap contains 500 milligrams of acetaminophen, a pain reliever that also helps reduce fevers. Tylenol Rapid Release Gels have unique laser drilled holes that help release medicine fast!"

"Dissolves in seconds and relieves pain at rapid speed. Contain acetaminophen gel caps for fast pain relief. Relief for headaches, back pain and joint pain, toothaches, menstrual pain. Reduces fevers. Unique laser drilled holes help release medicine fast."

Important Note (Obviously):  I'm not a doctor!  Take these at your OWN risk.  Consult YOUR doctor or pharmacist before use.


My Thoughts:

There is always one week a month (you know what I'm getting at) that I am plagued by headaches. Also I get aches & pains, just like everyone else but lately more so in my hip & knees. These gel caps were easy to take, and within, I'm going to say 15-20 mins., I could feel them kicking in, and I could get on with my day. If I happened to take them at night, they didn't make me drowsy at all. 

I would recommend these if your regular go to drug store aisle choice may not be working for you.
