I'm usually not one to do my own nails at home, but given the current circumstances, I thought I'd try to re-introduce it into my self-care routine. I'm used to my nails chipping the very next day I give myself a manicure, however, with this top coat, my nail polish lasts a minimum of 4 days! This is huge considering my past experiences. Another plus is that it dries extremely fast, which is a key factor I appreciate so much. I definitely will be purchasing this again if I continue to do my own nails. Great product! -

Usually I don’t like to use make up wipes because they tend to just push the make up around rather than successfully removing all of it. I prefer to use a double cleanse system with an oil cleanser first and then a gel cleanser but like all of us, sometimes I use make up wipes as a quick fix after a long night. I tend to follow it up with at least one cleanser if I am up for it. A lot of make up wipes make my face red and sticky due to the residue left behind. I have been using these Neutrogena Hydroboost wipes for the past few faces of make up I had on, including foundation, waterproof mascara, matte lipstick...the works, all that good stuff that’s harder to remove. These wipes took off almost all of my make up, about 80%. They didn’t leave my face as sticky, nor did they burn my face, but it was a little tingly. It does contain fragrance which might be irritating to some, but with that being said, the fragrance is more tolerable than other wipes...they actually smell quite nice! They are not as harsh as other wipes I have used, some of them being from Neutrogena. I will continue to use these in those once in a while situations! I approve ;) -

I have tried my fair share of lip balms, and I always find myself going back to good old Vaseline. What I like most about this lip balm is that it is fragrance-free and it's simple. It has some shea butter which the petrolatum can lock in, along with some vitamin E. This is good on its own, however, I do find that when paired with another rich lip balm, this acts as a nice seal to not let any of that extra moisture...in this case, it works even better, especially during those cold winter months! -

I have been using Phisoderm Up on my sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin for years. I have tried other cleansers, but this gentle cream cleanser is one that I find never fails. It does not foam up, yet it remains in a lotion-consistency. It is fragrance-free which is something I look for and it is very reasonable for it's price...you get a very large amount of it. I use this cleanser as the second step of my double cleanse after a cleansing oil. It does a great job in removing any remaining oil, dirt, make-up and sunscreen without drying my skin out. The only downfall I would say is that it contains parabens, and this is not usually something I like. However, this cleanser works so well for my skin that I am willing to overlook that. -

I have been using this foundation for about 5 years now. There is a reason why I have not switched. Although I have tried M.A.C, L'oreal, other The Body Shop foundations during these years and prior to these years, I always return to this foundation. I use the shade Santorini Sunset and it is perfectly matched to my skin tone. It goes on light-weight, non-greasy, and it stays on without being difficult to remove at the end of the day. The coverage is medium, which is what I prefer. It also provides an easy canvas on which one can layer concealer, contour sticks, highlighter, etc. It helps your skin appear very smooth and it does not dry your skin out. After wearing it for an entire day, you feel as if you have nothing on. I could not recommend this foundation enough! It also lasts a very long time, considering I do not wear make-up every day; if you do, it would probably last you around 6 months. -

I have been using this conditioner on my long, curly, dry hair for about a year now. I wash my hair once to twice a week and use this conditioner mostly on the ends and not so much on my roots. I find that this conditioner does a great job in de-tangling my hair and makes it easy to brush through. The results afterwards are soft and easy to manage. It does not make your hair greasy at all. It is a bit pricey but so far, I have not found a better conditioner that works for my hair, that contains ingredients that aren't that harmful. If you have curly hair of any sort, it is worth a try for sure! -

I used this product as I have sensitive skin and sometimes require a neutral moisturizer to help lock in the moisture without any extra irritants. That's exactly it, it's neutral. I know this is the point of a sensitive skin moisturizer, but I did not find it made my skin feel sufficiently moisturized. Just because you have sensitive skin, doesn't mean you have to settle for "ok" products! What I did like about it is that it is light-weight and does not feel greasy. In general, it is average and ok to use if you are looking for a complete non-irritant. -

I have been using this product for the past month or so to remove make-up, sunscreen, and any type of oil that has collected throughout the day. I use it as the first step of my double cleanse at the end of the day. It is extremely light-weight as it states (ultra-light), and does a good job at removing the make-up. This product also washes off easily and does not leave behind any oily residue. It is also very reasonably priced and accessible which is great! Some downfalls I found were that It does contain fragrance, and I usually try and stay away from added fragrances, but in a wash-off treatment its usually ok for my skin. It also slightly burns around the eyes when trying to remove mascara. I just make sure to keep them firmly tight. -
