I love Nivea & genuinely trust this brand. Love that their parent company is German, but my skin is broken out from the mineral oil in this product listed as the second ingredient. Maybe my skin is overly sensitive, but mineral oil is essentially baby oil which I think is chemical. This lotion is rich and very thick. Feels hydrating, but I honestly feel like it's superficial cause the next day, there is no long lasting softness. Got a smaller size of this for $3 at a grocery store chain, but I have to be very cautious with lotions cause it seems like all the name brands use this ingredient which makes my skin look awful. It's especially bad in the winter when hot showers (or baths) are a must. My skin gets super thirsty. -
Greenies Feline Treats

My cat is very happy I bought these for him. I have no intention of trying to clean his teeth myself. He's a feral so has some personal issues. Can't get him to the vet or groomers. Bought these at Target. Don't think they were overly expensive. He loves them. The salmon flavor must be delicious. I have bought him fancy Blue Buffalo treats before and he would have nothing to do with it, so I'm glad these seem to be working. They are pretty big sized for treats and a bit chewy hard so hopefully it's doing double duty by cleaning his teeth. -

I was feeding feral cats in my urban neighborhood for a year. Got hooked up with trap and neuter which is getting them fixed so they stop breeding homeless kittens. I learned from these professional cat lovers that this food is the worst. It gives them urinary problems or gall stones or something because it is corn meal and not quality ingredients. I pay a little extra to feed my cat Rachel Ray or Purina Pro (coupon deal out right now). It's worth it for the health of my cat to live well. The Purina makes his coat very soft as a bonus. We as consumers need to hold companies accountable for not serving quality ingredients. Check the label. Watch the Blue Buffalo commercial. Don't be duped.
It's not love to feed your pet something that will hurt their health in the long run.

Bought a .5 oz jar at a discount store. Because of the smaller size, it was $10, which is less than I have seen online.
I have been using a Bolero eye cream with blueberries that have antioxidants which has been helping somewhat so eager to see what this could do. I was very happy with the results. My lines are not totally gone, but it does seem like they are not as deep as they were. This cream has retinol and collagen in it so it is very effective at turning back the clock. I love the texture of L'oreal moisturizers. This goes on smoothly and is very hydrating. Definitely would recommend.

Honestly love Victoria Secrets and their marketing of the supermodel, but don't be fooled by the cheapness of their makeup. My lips like my skin are very sensitive. I found VS Rush products dry out my lips with the fragrance and chemicals. Sadly not hydrating whatsoever. Prefer Lancome's Juicy Tubes for a great lip gloss that is not irritating. Maybelline's Baby line of glosses and sticks are also super hydrating and affordable. -

Aveeno products are great in theory. Wish I could say that I love their brand since it tries to be holistic and use natural ingredients. This lotion is amazing to lighten up brown spots from summers at the beach, so for that reason, I do applaud it. My complaint is that most store bought lotions use mineral oil in them and it clogs up the pores in my sensitive skin. So for that reason, I would caution people from using this version in particular. Perhaps the oatmeal ingredients work better for difficult skin, but I really don't appreciate the breakouts from added chemicals when they claim to be such a health conscious brand. -

I have acne prone skin which I think is also very sensitive so I try to use products that don't have excess harsh chemicals. Salicylic acid for me is the worst. This cleanser is amazing. Has the benefits of hyaluronic acid which is all the rage right now. It is a natural moisturizer found in fillers like Juvaderm which also helps with fine lines and wrinkles. Add to that the benefits of ceramides and you have a winner of a product. It is a little on the pricey side. Upwards of $12, but once you try this, you will realize great skin care is worth the investment. -

Bought this cream at TJMaxx on a recent skin binge splurge. Have been combining it with a hyaluronic acid serum and I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. It's only been a few days, so I can't speak to any wrinkle results, but I'm a fan of L'oreal products. Love their eye creams. Have been using their products for years. Their skin products are very moisturizing. I tend to have acne prone skin which seems to break out more due to sensitivity. Plus as you age, skin texture probably changes too. This cream claims to use soy oil which is full of triglycerides (good for the heart). Oils help with frizz in my hair, so I am hoping for great benefits from using this cream. It doesn't have an spf, so I use it at night. I have noticed from the reviews that this product may be a little old on the shelves. Don't notice any odd odors. Just wondering if it would be easy to find on the shelves since I bought it at a closeout store. -

I have struggled with acne all my life. What I have come to realize is that harsh product like salicylic and benzoyl peroxide found in most acne products can be really drying. Acne might be instead be a response to sensitive skin. I have learned this from trial and error as opposed to dermatologists enlightening me. That being said, this cleanser is #1 recommended by dermatologists. It doesn't have added chemicals, so it's really great for a nice face wash without irritating. It is a little pricey and could run you close to ten dollars. The bottle does last awhile though. It doesn't take too much to rinse the face. -

I have really thick hair which is not to brag. It's a pain to deal with. My natural texture is wavy so I have to leave a conditioner in after washing to calm the frizz. I really like the Garnier whole blends with Moroccan Argan & Camelia oils. It has a slight perfume scent. Leaves my hair calm and soft. Great price point. I think I got this product for $5 which is always a bonus for a budget minded single, city girl. -
