Glides on buttery smooth and melts into your skin. It feels AMAZING and did wonders for my extremely dry skin (top arm with lotion, bottom arm without).
My only complaint is the smell. The light almond smell would be amazing, but the added artificial fragrance was too perfumey.

Absolutely rave incoming! My skin (especially on my legs) so SUPER dry... like mud cracks dry (IYKYK). But it's also incredibly sensitive, so a lots of products make it worse. I tried this lotion, and 24 hours later, my legs are STILL smooth and moisturized. No flakes, no inch, and no mud cracks!
100000% recommend for dry sensitive skin.

Lubriderm® Advanced Moisture Therapy Body Wash
I loved this body wash! My skin is super sensitive and dry, so most soaps/body washes leave it feeling itchy, tight, and dry. This body wash left my skin feeling clean, smooth, and hydrated. It's thick and rich (so I didn't drip/waste a bunch)... +

Bonus: no parabens or phthalates!

Sarna Bug Bite Patches

(and not on the itchy welt on her arm).
We were #gifted these Bug Bite Patches from @sarnaskincare.ca to try out in exchange for our honest review. I was super excited for these, because Dolly is so very sensitive - she gets a massive welt every time she gets a mosquito bite (I should have taken a picture of her arm before I put the patch on 🤦♀). They did not disappoint. Within seconds of putting it on, Dolly forgot about the bug bite (and forgot she was even wearing the patch).
My favorite things:
🦟 effective bug bite relief (it actually works)
🌿 soothing botanicals (witch hazel, aloe and chamomile)
🧸 kid-friendly
🛒 available on Amazon
BONUS: It stayed on surprisingly well - even over top of her sunscreen. It's also super subtle (zoom in close to her arm, just below her elbow to find the patch).

I am a HUGE Urban Decay fan, so I was extra sad that I didn't like this foundation.
PROS: light-weight matte powder finish, silky smooth-feeling application, no-mess dropper top
CONS: looks cakey/uneven, accentuates creases/pores, not moisturizing (very dry feeling)
I have dry mature skin. Typically, I use a primer, but I tested without primer (product claims primer is not needed) - it definitely needs a primer. It built up around my wrinkles/pores, making them more pronounced and giving a very uneven finish.
Product claims "buildable coverage" but I found it just built up in a bad way, but the coverage remained light and uneven.
It's supposed to be moisturizing, but it just wasn't. In all fairness, my skin is VERY dry, so I tend to need creamier products.
The matte powder finish is lovely (if only it was more even). From a distance, it does look nice. But up close (like IRL normal distance), it is very uneven/cakey.
Definitely would not recommend for dry/mature skin.

Aveeno® Eczema Care Rescue Relief Treatment Gel Cream

I have 2 kiddos with eczema/sensitive skin. I tested the Rescue Carr on both of them (on a mild eczema patch). They both complained that it left a sticky residue and they didn't like the feeling, but that "yucky" feeling passed after a few minutes. I'm not sure it's actually helped the eczema patches, but it definitely didn't "instantly soothing and cool" for either of them. I think the "sticky" was too annoying for them to feel relief. But it didn't irritate/exacerbate, so it might work well for someone who is not so bothered by the "sticky" feeling. It's worth keeping it in the cupboard and we'll give it another go later (because kids have moods. Lol)
We have used (and loved) other Aveeno products, but this one falls a little short, to be honest.

It doesn't smell bad (or like anything at all), it applies smoothly, and doesn't leave a sticky feeling behind.
