This is a nice light hand cream, and I'd use this at the office so it soaks in quickly and I can get back to work. Because it's light, I would not say it's great for seriously dry or cracked dry skin - personally I need something just a bit heavier coming out of winter, but it will be a really nice choice in the summer! I just wish the smell was a bit nicer - the smell is a strong floral. -

I #gotitfree from Chick Advisor and used it right away! I always have dry cracked heels, and especially after a long cold winter. The cream is very thick, which is great for this purpose, but almost hard to get out of the squeeze tube! The thick cream soaked in relatively quickly, just enough so that I didn't feel it would get soaked in to my sheets or socks. My feet fell softer the next morning - I could see implementing a spring routine where I exfoliate and apply this cream before sleeping, but I don't see the value in using it year round. -

I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor and tried it at the perfect time as we start to warm up and get in to spring! I had dry cracked heels from a cold winter and after using these for 10 mins and letting it soak in, my feet were soft and moisturized, but the next morning I couldn't tell much of a difference. I was disappointed to see the straps didn't work very well and there was a lot of single-use plastic involved. It's a nice idea, but I'm more inclined to use regular cream and some reusable cotton socks. -

I tried these in the spring after a cold Canadian weekend, on my very dry, flakey hands. It did help with some of the flakiness, but the next morning they were feeling dry again, just less visibly so. I #gotitfree through ChickAdvisor, but i don't think I would purchase it again. I would instead just use the better value of the hand cream alone with some reusable gloves.
I was disappointed with how much single-use plastic was used for these, and the straps did not work well to tighten the gloves.

Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese
I saw this in the store for years, but never bought it as the price per gram is always higher than the non-whipped version. I recently tried it while visiting family though and my mind was changed! It actually goes further than the brick cream... +
I saw this in the store for years, but never bought it as the price per gram is always higher than the non-whipped version. I recently tried it while visiting family though and my mind was changed! It actually goes further than the brick cream cheese as it spreads much easier. It has the exact same taste as regular cream cheese, still rich, but it's easier to spread and has a bit lighter texture. -
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

The only downside of this product is the tin is quite difficult to open. Because it's such a slim tin, it's hard to get a grip on the edge of the lid to pry it open. The tin is small because the product goes a long way though, and it's very easy to apply. I had been using a cuticle oil, but it was very messy and ended up making my fingers oily for a while. This oil is in the wax, so it stays in place. Scrape out a bit and apply it to your cuticles and rub it in to warm it up. It really moisturizes my cuticles and keeps them feeling healthy!
As a funny story someone might learn from - seeing the Burts Bees label in my cupboard first I thought this was lip balm one time and it really doesn't work like that ;) Use it as it's intended and it's wonderful! :)

I bought 3 ColorPop matte lip colours in the US for $6USD each and was so excited to use them! They are a very reasonable price for a high quality product, but I wish it was a bit longer lasting.
I'm not someone who wears lipstick all the time, so some of this is me being not used to it, but I found the strong pigment a bit tricky to put on - take your time as it stains your skin if it gets in the wrong place!
It seems to come off easily on cups and food, and moves around my face when doing something like blowing my nose. That being said, if you don't love it, at least you haven't invested very much money.

I found this at Winners and loved the smell - not overwhelming but definitely a nice fresh scent. I have learned when my hair will look oily and put this on the night before. When I wake up it has mostly absorbed and looks great! A quick brush and I'm ready to go. This product absorbs well, is in a pretty can, a nice large format and had a really reasonable price - I want to try all the scents now! -

I got this as part of my birthday gift from Sephora just in time for winter, and so far it has been a dream! The lip balm is really thick and luxurious, and worked a miracle on my dry lips overnight! I was struggling with dry lips, painful and almost cracking and my regular lip balm wasn't working well enough so I tried using this after exfoliating. I put it on before bed and the rich balm was soothing and my lips were so much better by morning! -

I got this as part of my birthday gift from Sephora just in time for dry winter lips. I've used it twice now and it's great! I've tried other kinds, and the defoliant often moves all over my face making me use a lot to really scrub my lips. This worked way better, did an efficient job without being overly oily or sticky. I would buy it again if the prices is reasonable. -
