Another Cuticle Cream

Hey Beautiful,
     I know I just reviewed the JR Watkins Cuticle Salve but I have found yet another great cuticle salve. It may even be better. It is the Sally Hansen Nails & Cuticle Hand Creme, 24 hour moisture. This is one of the few products that promises 24 hour moisture and actually delivers it. I rarely ever have to ever reapply, between the weekly manicure I give myself. Even when I do put it on before I do my nails, I really don't have to. In the winter it may be different, since my hands get terribly dry. I don't use this creme as a hand lotion, but if I have some left over I do rub it in. As with my cuticles it leaves my hands soft for hours. Not as long as my cuticles because I work with my hands. On the tube it says that it is a Shea butter scent, which it is with a slight lemony scent. It's lemony, without smelling like furniture cleaner.
     The true test of how well this Cuticle Creme works, is when I used it on my boyfriend earlier this week. He thought the JR Watkins cuticle salve smelled too girly so we went with the Sally Hansen one. He has a really bad tendency of biting and ripping his cuticles, which leaves them rough and hard and really gross. I just had to take matters in to my own hands or at least try. I didn't realize how easy it would be with this creme. Right away his cuticles softened up and became nice. This product is a miracle worker as far as I am concerned. % days have passed since we used the creme on his cuticles and they still feel nice and soft. This product is great and I 100% recommend the Sally Hansen Cuticle Creme.

  See you later, Rose



DISCLAIMER: I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

Beauty Fixation

Hey Beautiful,
     I really wanted to like this product, but I don't which is a bit sad for me. The Beauty Fixation Lipstick touch-up's are pre-filled cotton swabs designed to help you touch up your lipstick. What you do is break the tip with the pink line, so that the other side will fill up with the liquid inside. The product claims to moisturize your lips, wile removing any straying lipstick lines.
     While it does remove the lipstick well, it leave behind a greasy residue. Instead of moisturizing the area around my lips, it actually just makes them greasy. I tried to rub it in without ruining my lipstick but that just made the whole area around my lips feel greasy. There is no rubbing this product in, because it stays greasy. I feel that a plain old cotton swab does the trick better than this.

Stay beautiful, Rose

Not Just Chapstick

Hey Beautiful,
     With school just around the corner for some and others already in school, I wanted to tell you about the one product you must have in your beauty bag. The Palmer's Coco Butter swivel stick, now it doesn't sound like chapstick but on the tube it says smooths chapped lips. I love using it on my lips, especially when there chapped. I have never had a chapstick hydrate my lips so well that it could fix chapped lips in a day. This product also leaves your lips super soft afterwards, not just while its on. The coco butter smells is not overwhelming at all and is not the least bit fake smelling.
       Being a great chapstick is not the only reason it is a must have for your school beauty bag, it also works as a lotion. One day I was sitting in class and my elbows were dry and cracked. I had no lotion on me and they were so annoying. When I pulled out my swivel stick to put it on my lips, I noticed the words above the 'smooth lips' part. For marks, blemishes and rough, dry skin, is written on the tube too. I know the Palmer's Coco Butter is really good for stretch marks, but I never though to use it on my dry skin. So in the middle of class that day I discovered that this swivel stick is a great lotion, not just when your in a pinch.
       I have used it as lotion many times all over my body and it leaves my skin, just like my lips, super soft. Not even the least bit greasy feeling. Actually after using this a few times on my elbows, it kind of cure my dry elbows something I had been suffering with for years. Now of course it's impractical to use all over your legs, but when your in school and have a really dry patch of skin and no lotion this stuff is a life saver.

Stay beautiful, Rose
