Burts Bees coconut foot creme review

I love anything that smells like coconut, so when I saw Burts Bees coconut foot crème I knew I must try it. Let me say I go to the beach a lot and you would think walking in sand would exfoliate your feet but it leaves mine rough and cracked. Basically you are supposed to put this crème on your feet and then put socks on so it soaks in. It is very thick and goopy but it smells amazing if you are a coconut fan. I decided to put it on before I went to work and see how my feet looked after six hours on my feet. Well I was amazed when I took the socks off, they were completely smooth. Yes this product does what it claims, I'm a fan! It is inexpensive at about eight dollars and really easy to use. Try it if your feet need some love.

Almay smart shade cc cream

OK, so I'm trying to figure out the difference between bb cream and cc cream. From what I just read when I did a search it seems as though the cc cream is to give more coverage and blend into skin better. I have tried the bb creams and I like them a lot. I just tried the Almay smart shade cc cream and I like it also. Funny thing is I don't think it gives as much coverage as the bb. I think if you need coverage you should stick with foundation. I think the bb and cc are really just a tinted moisturizer that offer a light coverage and an illuminating quality. I like the Almay smart shade cc cream, it goes on nicely and blends in easily. Almay also has a 35 SPF so you will be protected from the sun. The jury is out on which one I prefer, CC or BB. I like them both and think I would use the BB when I'm looking for more coverage.

Almay Lash care eye makeup remover pads

I love eye make up and for me it is the one item I don't like to leave the house without, however I hate trying to remove eye make up. I actually tend to not wear mascara because of this issue. I know this sounds super lazy but if I leave just a bit of eyeliner on at night I don't wake up looking like Alice Cooper, but forget to take off mascara and it isn't pretty. So I have found the answer to my problems, Almay lash care eye makeup remover pads are quick, easy, and inexpensive enough to make it easy to take it all off at the end of the day. They are small little round pads that you sweep over your eye and it is like a magic eraser. I was worried they might irritate my eyes but they didn't at all. I'm a fan and will continue to use.

Loreal Everstyle smooth and shine creme review

I have the type of hair that must be blown with a good smoothing product and good round brushes or my hair just looks nappy and frizzy. I'm always looking for a good smoothing product. I recently tried Loreal everstyle smooth and shine because I loved the way it smelled. Almost smells masculine to me but in a good sexy way. Well aside from a great smell it worked really well for my hair. You just apply a little bit to wet hair and style as you normally would. It left my hair as it states, smooth and shiny. I will continue to use for sure.

Loreal Youth Code day cream w spf 30 review

I'm in love with the Loreal Youth code line. So far I have tried the dark spot serum, the bb cream, and the latest is the day cream w spf 30. I'm sold on all three products. The day cream is very thick and creamy but blends into skin easily and leaves you with almost a radiant glow. I have also put the spf to the test and I wear this to the beach at eight hour stretches and I don't look like I have had sun so it is absolutely working. It is affordable at twenty dollars a jar and I think it could rival some of the more expensive ones. I can't wait to try more products from the youth code line, so far I'm a huge fan.

Loreal youth code bb cream review

So I'm a huge fan of bb cream. If you are looking for a nice light coverage that goes on like a moisturizer and gives you a glow I think they are perfect. That being said I had been using garniers bb for awhile and I liked it but I found I was too shiny with the regular version so I switched to the oil free version. I liked it but it is very liquidy and was difficult to work with. I would end up with more all over my sink than on my face. So I tried Loreal youth code and I think they got it right. It goes on like a lotion, blends into skin nicely, and leaves you with an illuminating glow. I have had many compliments on my skin since I started using. I'm a fan but I'm also dying to try their CC cream. I will review after I get it.

John Frida Blonde highlight activating conditioner review

I have been dying my hair blonde now for more years than I can remember. I now do very chunky highlights of blonde mixed with my real color which is dark, but primarily I'm a blonde at this point. I usually don't use any products to enhance the blonde as I feel like that's why I pay my hairdresser to get me to the right blonde. Well I recently purchase John Frieda's frizz ease serum and it was on sale buy one get one half off so I decided to also purchase his blonde highlight activating conditioner as well. On the bottle it says see difference after one use. Hmmmm......that always makes me leery like I'm sold a line of crap. Well I used this and I was pleasantly surprised, I did think it made my blondes blonder, however maybe I'm imagining things. Well when I went to work a co worker immediately said, "your hair looks good, did you just get it done?" Well I will be darned, it really works and I wasn't imagining it. Not only did it make my blondes blonder but it also conditioned really well. I'm a fan and will continue to use this product for sure. Try it out and let me know if you like it too.
