24-HR Nutri-Hydrating Body Lotion by Nuxe

I received this body lotion as a sample so I don't know the price offhand but I have to say I give two thumbs up to this product. It is made with bamboo amazonian plants and cupuacu butter and it is targeted towards dry and very dry skin. This lotion was very light and blended easily into my skin - it is nice when you don't have to keep rubbing a body lotion in until it finally disappears. The lotion has a soft and silky feel and helped my skin feel hydrated. It also has a neutral smell with no potent fragrances! I recommend this product for anyone looking for a moisturizing body lotion :)

Very First Writeup! - Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara

Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara
First I will start off with the price: $24 (Canadian Dollars). This product was not as expensive as some of the luxury brands but not the cheapest either. This is a great product for those interested in separating and defining lashes only. The brush is fairly thin which makes it easy to use and avoids messiness or clumping. I really liked that this brush also has a comb on one side of it which is a great tool for combing the product through your lashes - this really helps to separate the lashes and avoid clumping. For myself, I like a lengthening and volumizing mascara and I did not find that this product was able to aid me in those categories. I tried using an eyelash primer with this mascara and that did help for length and volume but unfortunately this product does not come with a primer so you would have to buy that separately.

I think next time I will try a different mascara :(  Please feel free to tell me what you think!
