From my full review on Yes To Carrots: C a Softer You Hand & Elbow Moisturizing Cream to the rescue. I’m looking at 2 kinds of hand cream on my desk right now and they just aren’t cuttin’ it anymore. This will be taking their place today, as soon as I get around to cleaning my Messy-Marvin of a workspace. Enriched with Dead Sea minerals (like the scrub), carrot juice, avocado oil, and jojoba– it’s making my scaly skin run for the hills. When I smooth this on my elbows and hands, it absorbs quickly but also lingers a little on the surface. You know how it is after you wash your hands and they feel tight? I’m cursed with that too, so right after I’ve done dishes or wash my hands I’ve been grabbing this. While I’m not cured, it’s totally helping!

I'm so sorry gals, but I didn't think this was worth the cash at all! While I admit-- it does smell absolutely delish... I thought this was just kinda "eh". It didn't take my makeup off too well and I felt like I had something on my face after. I'm sure it works great for everyone who scored it so high, but this one just isn't for me!

I’ve got some WIMPY lashes, I admit. But the 2000 Calorie Extreme helps me fake it, for sure. I would agree with Max Factor’s claim of it increasing the thickness of your lashes up to 200%!

With regal packaging and a sophisticated selection of scents, Antica Farmacista caught my eye! I didn’t really know what to expect because it’s hard sometimes to detail experiences with things like shower gel and hand soap, but I came away from my experience with Antica Farmacista’s products enlightened and I felt a little spoiled! My fave product of the bunch was the Orange Blossom, Lilac, & Jasmine Bath & Shower Wash– you know if it has orange in it, I’m all over it. The shower wash lathered nicely and didn’t make the skin on my chest feel tight and dry as it often does after cleansing. Only my skin truly knows why– but if I had to guess I’d say it had to do with the aloe, sweet almond oil, and silk amino acids listed in the ingredients. The orange blossom, lilac, and jasmine combo was a nice change of pace from the fragrances currently in my shower, and the hubby usually makes whatever I have in there his own– just ask him about what happened to my Cinnamon Hot Dots! This one however, I think he will let be. Quite decadent and fancy, Antica Farmacista’s selection of body care, perfumes, and home fragrance products might make you feel like you live in the lap of luxury!

I'm used to using a clay spot treatment or Mario Basescu's Drying Lotion, so this was different since it was a gel. I had 3 not-so-pretty friends growing bigger on my chin by the day, and in 2 nights-- this had almost eliminated them. If I could change anything-- it would be how liquidy the product is. But then again, that could be just because I'm used to clay! It smells pleasant and has a cooling and soothing sensation too which is nice.

I went through a tube of this is Melon in record time because it was so delicious! My husband enjoyed the Berry. It didn't have a waxy or greasy feel and help soothe my lips. I love that this lip butter comes in a tube, so many "butters" come in a container and I'm not really huge on dipping my fingers in my lip products. I would buy it again!

After seeing Maggie Gyllenhaal sporting a grey nail polish shade on her nails on a magazine cover, I went on a crazy grey nail polish shopping spree and the best of the bunch was OPI Sephora by OPI in the color Metro Chic! Same great quality as OPI and endless color choices. This is a GREAT brand. The only thing I would change is the price, I wish it was a little bit less.

I have the Max Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor in Ms. Right and Ms. Terious and I love them! The formula of this lipstick is creamy and hydrating without sacrificing any of the pigment. A true bargain for about half of what you'd pay for a cosmetics counter brand!

I have a problem sometimes with less expensive brands of eyeshadows looking chalky or powdery! I've tried a few from CoverGirl and they stayed on really well for the low price point! Of course, nothing beats using eyeshadow primer-- and with primer, these really last.

This beauty junkie is becoming a Laura Geller junkie! I loved this, easy to work up color without it being too much, or just a light application for a soft glow! The color correctors make it goof proof. LOVES IT!
