I got a sample of this lotion. It absorbs quickly and is very moisturizing. It is full of beneficial ingredients to fight dry skin. It does leave a little oiliness on the hands. The deal breaker for me is the added fragrance. I have very sensitive, allergy prone skin, so I avoid using any products containing fragrance on a regular basis. Not many people know that fragrance in products can cause or worsen itchy, dry skin by irritating it. Most fragrances, even natural ones cause damage or irritation to skin. In this lotion, the fragrance was listed at the end of the ingredient list so there is very little and should not be an issue for most. It is a light, slightly floral scent. This lotion is also affordable.

This is am excellent hand cream if you have really itchy, dry hands, eczema, or dermatitis. What makes it unique and especially effective is the fact that it is fragrance free (it does have a slight natural, pasty odor that dissipates quickly once applied). Most people do not know that fragrance can cause their itchy, dry skin, if not make it worse (even natural fragrant plant oils). Also products contIning hydrocortisone can be used to treat these conditions occasionally, but should not be used regularly--it actually breaks down collagen. This does NOT contain hydrocortisone, but instead soothing ingredients such as green tea and chamomile. It also contains high quality emollients and other beneficial ingredients. It is thick and should be used at bedtime because though it absorbs quickly, it leaves a bit of a greasy residue. It absolutely works and is reasonably priced. I struggle with eczema and atopic dermatitis-- this is really an effective hand cream.

This is a high quality, vibrant, very pigmented, moisturizing, and flattering lipstick. I got a sample of 3 colors, one of which I was sure would not flatter, but, to my surprise, it was gorgeous. These are semi opaque, highly pigmented, and feel like a gel style lipstick/solid gloss. Though the color really pops, it also blends with your natural lip color to flatter all skin tones. It was shiny and lasted about 4 hours without bleeding or smearing. The only off putting thing is that it is a pricey lipstick. I also do not like the lemon furniture polish-like fragrance. I have allergy prone skin, and even though I had no reaction, I would be concerned about irritation if I used this lipstick frequently. The colors really pop and are beautiful, though.

This is the eyeshadow to stock up on! It is under $5, comes in a lot of colors (neutrals and vibrant bolds) and finishes, is very pigmented, true to color, and lasts. I got this in Bella Pink which is a pinkish lavender color with a bit (not too much) of shimmer and sheen. It did not irritate my sensitive eyes or allergy prone skin. It has a velvety smooth texture that blends beautifully. It can be applied wet or dry. The downside is the gold plastic case was a little hard to open and it does not come with an applicator. They can also be layered with other shadows. I plan to buy more--these are a bargain and nice quality.

This products smooths your skin so that your makeup applies evenly and flawlessly over it. It protects your skin from sun damage and contains many skin benefiting ingredients. I did not detect any fragrance. This did not irritate my super sensitive, allergy prone skin. It is has a fair price. It is a winner!

I am starting to get lines around my lips, so my creamier lipsticks, gel glosses tend to bleed around my mouth. MAC's lip prep+prime conditions, moisturizes and smooths your lips. It is colorless, flavorless, and odorless. It is appropriate for the most sensitive, allergy prone skin. It instantly made my lips feel soft. You do have to apply slightly beyond your lip line. My lipstick applied very smoothly over it and was shiny--it did not interfere with the color or finish of my lipstick. It looked smooth on my lips and maintained a crisp line--it stayed where I applied it. My lipstick wore normally. It is not terribly expensive. If you have any lippy bleeding issues, give this a try!

The only thing that would make this eyeliner better would be if it were sell sharpening and retractable. I hate sharpening my makeup pencils. Otherwise, these are the bomb. I got a sample of this in Voodoo which is a deep, metallic purple that really made my green eyes pop. The color is super pigmented and goes on creamy, smooth without tugging. It is smudgeable, then dries to a tenacious waterproof, smudge resistant finish (I am a good tester of this--I have very bad allergies which makes my eyes sensitive (I rub my eyes a lot) and watery). This formula did not irritate my eyes. You will definitely need eye makeup remover to take this off. It is not terribly expensive and comes in a variety of colors and finishes.

This is a very interesting product. If you are looking for a firm hold hairspray to hold your style in place, this is not it. What this product does is keep your frizz down and flyaways at bay while adding sleekness, silkiness and a beautiful shine all without weighing down your hair. It is not sticky or crunchy, in fact it feels like there is no hairspray at all. You can run your fingers and a comb through easily. It is also great to spray on dry hair prior to heat styling as it makes your hair silky and slide more easily through your curling or straightening tools. It is more of a styling aid or finishing spray than a holding spray. You will love it if you hate the stickiness or stiffness of hairspray and love the natural feel and movement of your hair. This spray is especially great for fine hair. It does not weigh it down or make it piecey. It has a pleasantly light fragrance and is inexpensive.

I did nor expect much from this because it is for curly hair, and I assumed a medium to course texture. My hair is baby fine, straight, colored, and just past shoulder length. My issue is that I have to use a few products and I usually blow dry and have to use a curling iron or straight iron. If I just air dry. I end up with feathery, frizzy hair that looks like I just woke up and didn't comb or brush my hair. If I air dry with any product in my hair, it looks greasy. I was curious and this was worth a try. This John Frieda. Dreams curls air dry product is a dream come true. I washed my hair as usual, rubbed 2 pumps of this between my palms, applied it from roots to ends, brushed through and let my hair air dry. To my surprise, my hair dried soft, shiny, and with a nice, frizz free, clean looking texture. After it dried, I just put a spritz of hairspray on it. This was the first time I have ever been able to go without heat styling without looking mangy. I love this product and will def go out and buy some more. This will be great for the beach, pool or water park when I am am not able to heat style or on weekends or rainy days to give my hair a break from heat damage. I am curious to know how those of you with curly or courser hair like this. Also the price is very reasonable and it has a light fragrance that reminds me of laundry just out of the dryer. I loved it and will keep some on hand at all times. Very cool unique hair product. Oh, and bonus-my hair looks great the next day without having to wash it! This is abreak through hair product for me.

I got this in Sweet Innocence which has a vanilla, peaches, and browns in matte and soft shimmer finishes. The colors are pretty, pigmented, go on smoothly and last without creasing or caking. The colors are flattering even on more mature eyes as wrinkles are not highlighted and the colors compliment each other. The colors can be used individually or to create a soft, contoured, or more dramatic look. There is even a helpful diagram with application suggestions inside the compact. These shadows are extremely inexpensive and often go on sale. The shadows did not irritate my eyes or super sensitive allergy prone skin. The only downside is the terrible applicator included. It is rough and useless as the sponge fell off of the plastic wand on my eyelid on the very first swipe.
