Lubriderm® Advanced Moisture Therapy Body Wash is free of parabens, phthalates, dyes, sulfates and fragrance. It contains vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5 and pro-ceramides.
It is designed for itchy dry skin and helps restore the natural moisture barrier for more hydrated skin.
As someone who is sensitive to scents and dyes, I love that this body wash has none. It is gentle on my sensitive skin and lathers well. It leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized, not stripped of its natural oils.

This Command 15 lbs extra Heavyweight Wall Hook is very sturdy. I originally planned to use it as a hook for my son's backpack, but unfortunately the wall next our entrance way where I wanted to put the hook is too textured to stick it on.
I decided to use it as an extra towel hook instead. My son was complaining that the towel bar was too far away, so this seemed like a good solution. So far, it is working well.
I also like that we can move the hook if we decide to use it for something else. It works with the large Command strips, so you would just need to get replacement strips to reuse it. I also love that there will be no damage to my walls or door when I do remove it.

Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips were easy to use and made it a breeze to hang my son's Graduation photo.
I had a couple other photos too, but unfortunately the strips were too large for the frame, and it was recommended not to cut the strips or the weight limits could be affected. I will look for some wider frames to use the remaining straps on, because I love that they are so easy to apply and remove. Having used Command products in the past, I know they won't damage my walls.

I tried Sarna Bug Bite Patches on a couple mosquito bites this weekend. They helped me reduce the amount of scratching (and I love a good scratch on my bug bites). Every time I went to unconsciously scratch my bites, my hand felt the patch and it reminded me to not scratch. They contain Aloe, Witch Hazel and Camomile, which did soothe my bug bites and took a little of the itch away.
They are safe to use on kids as well, so they will be great for the whole family to use this summer!

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum for Eyes contains Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Vitamin F to help fight against signs of aging, and keep the skin hydrated and glowing.
I love the Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum for the face, and I had high expectations for the eye serum.
I can honestly say that this serum lives up to its promises. I noticed an immediate improvement in the puffiness of my under eyes! The skin around my eyes looks brighter, too.
I haven't been using it long enough to see a dramatic improvement in my crow's feet, but I have noticed an all over improvement to the smoothness to my eye area.
The only thing that I don't really like is that you get way too much serum in a full pump. A little goes a long way, and it feels a bit wasteful to get so much serum at a time.

Georgia Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS (01) is a clear lip gloss with oil-in-gloss technology that boasts a high shine, no stickiness, and 24 hr hydration.
I used this gloss to finish off my natural look for work. I liked the shine it provided, but it looked nothing like the lips in the ads, and definitely not after only 1 swipe. The applicator didn't really get enough gloss to fully cover my lips in one go, and even after using several coats I couldn't get that glassy look from the ads.
The gloss isn't too sticky, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it has no stickiness. It was comfortable to wear and lasted an hour or so before having to reapply.
The best thing about this gloss is that, with 15% squalane, it is very hydrating. I noticed improvement in my dry lips right away and the effects lasted longer with each use.
Overall, it is a decent gloss, but, for the price point, I was expecting more. You can get just as good for less in other brands.

If you're a mom of boys like me, you know they're always coming home with scapes and scratches, bug bites, and other skin irritations. Ozonol® Non-Stinging Ointment, thankfully, can help with them all.
I tried Ozonol® Non-Stinging Ointment with my youngest boy, who came home with a scrape that was really bothering him. He let me clean it and apply some ointment. It helped stop the stinging very quickly and his scrape is healing nicely. A little goes a long way and a thin layer is all you need to use. There is a bit of an antiseptic kind of scent to the ointment, but it isn't strong and barely noticeable once it's applied.

Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation claims to be waterproof, transfer resistant, self-setting and last for up to 24 hrs of wear time. It is also non-comedogenic, and because it contains 3% Niacinamide, it acts like a serum to improve skin texture over time.
This foundation has a lot of claims to live up to, and for the most part, it did do what it said on the package. It did have a lightweight, barely noticeable feel once it was applied. Coverage was buildable, I didn't need setting powder, and once it was in place it didn't smudge or transfer much, even when I rubbed my shirt fairly firmly across my face. I even tested the waterproof claim by splashing water on my face. There was no foundation on the paper towel I used to dry my face afterward. By the end of the day it was still in place, although the coverage had lightened a little over time.
I did apply skincare, but I did not use any primer, concealer or colour corrector under it. Although Coverage was a bit lighter than I expected, even after building it up a bit, it did cover my redness pretty well. The colour match was pretty close as well (I tried 1 Fair Cool) and the no mess applicator definitely was a plus.
I do not recommend this foundation for dry skin, as it really stuck to my dry patches, resulting in a cakey, uneven looking application. This foundation would suit an oily or combination skin type better.

AVEENO® Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream is steroid free and fragrance-free. It helps reduce the 4 main symptoms of eczema, including itching, dryness, redness and irritation.
I love the buttery texture of this cream! It feels so satisfying to slather on my skin. It is a thicker consistency and does take a minute to sink in completely, but my skin does not feel greasy afterwards. I can feel a protective barrier on my skin, keeping it hydrated and soothed for hours. No more itchy, dry skin!
I have been an Aveeno lover for decades and originally started using this brand because it was the only thing that my sensitive, Eczema prone skin didn't react to. I have since found other brands that work for my skin, but I inevitably keep returning to Aveeno because I know I can trust it to give me the protection and relief I'm looking for.

PANOXYL OIL CONTROL MOISTURIZER is also a broad spectrum SPF 30 mineral sunscreen that won't clog pores.
It has a thicker texture that feels a little greasy going on, but does eventually sink into my skin and does not leave a white cast on my skin.
My skin feels moisturized and protected. It does need to be reapplied every 2 hours to keep the sun protection. As this doesn't clog my pores, it reduces my chances of breakouts, which is a bonus over other sun screens I have used in the past.
