Evian

I can imagine that for most people this isn't an essential but as someone who has struggled with skin barrier issues and dehydration it has been nothing short of miraculous. The water where I live is very hard and subsequently incredibly drying to my skin, using this instead of tap water makes a massive difference, softer more hydrated skin that doesn't flake as much. I actually buy Evian in regular bottles from the grocery store and just transfer it to a spray mister because it's much more economical. I alternate between this and Avene thermal water and haven't noticed a difference between them.

My hair is medium length, wavy, uncolored. I wash my hair once a week. I use Evian Facial Spray to mist my hair in the morning to revive the curl. I prefer a fine mist and find it works better for my hair than other products designed to revive curl that I have to pump. Sometimes I add a little leave in conditioner and comb through. I use the small 1.7 ounce size because it fits comfortably in my hand and allows me to spray evenly.

I bought three of these for $2 at a dollar store and it was worth the money.

Faster and more natural than Jergens. I noticed my hand turned brown about 5 hours after applying (I forgot to wash my hands after). The color is also a little more brown than Jergens which I like.

wow, i bought this on a trip to paris ages ago. i just stumbled across this MUA review page looking for highly rated lip treatments. anyhow, i'll add my $0.02. i like the stuff pretty well but remember it being rather waxy. moisturizing, though! got me through a very dehydrated summer in paris (summer of the worst european heatwave, when everyone died, if you recall.)

the thing i like most about this stuff is that it's almost like a lotion in its texture. it basically feels as though you're putting a somewhat waxy, completely unfragranced lotion on your lips. a little lasts forever, as well, and it was reasonably priced (for american standards, even!) i doubt i'd buy again, but i would love to find a similar product that isn't quite so waxy. the texture is just strange, but worth it for the novelty factor.

in short -- not a HG lipbalm for me, but good for what it does. plus points for miraculously, as others have pointed out, leaving no white residue on the lips once you have rubbed it in. the balm itself is a white like elmer's glue, so this was a bit of a fear at first!

i'm not even entirely sure this stuff is still being made as my new trips to europe do not have anything to do with france in general.

I love this stuff, perfect for summertime skin. Moisturizes without being sticky or greasy, soaks right in and protects my fair skin from the sun too!
