I received a free sample of Neutrogena's newest Ultimate Sport Sunblock SPF 70 with my Neutragena Age Shield and Repair (which I didn't like very much). This is a great sunblock! I was looking for a sunblock that would not leave me shiny and greasy. Neutrogena is a trustworthy brand and is highly recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin. I really liked this sample and will go out to buy the bigger bottle which goes for about $14 bucks at Walgreens. I believe they are a couple dollars cheaper at Target or Walmart. This sunblock feels almost powdery. I've been using it for a week now under my makeup and my skin isn't oily! Even in the torturous Houston humidity, my skin is "dewey" but not greasy and my face isn't shiny all day. I am really glad this has a broad spectrum of UVA/UVB protection and comes in SPF 55 and 70. I also reapply every 2-4 hours depending how long I am outside and this sunblock doesn't get "tacky" or sticky after several reapplications. This is a great new Neutrogena sunblock.

I do wish that this sunblock was a better hand cream. This sunblock feels almost powdery and doesn't leave my hands silky smooth....it leaves them powdery.

Verdict: GET IT NOW!

Lush Butterball Bath Bomb

This is one of the first products I tried from Lush and I am completely addicted! I take a bath everyday...never been much of a shower girl. I love lounging in a bath after a long day. I had been looking for some extra moisturizing bath oil or bath milk because the sun has torched my skin. So the Lush associate suggested a nice bath bomb for aromatherapy and for a moisturizing milk bath. I love the smell of this product! It smells like vanilla but the cocoa butter slivers in it give off a slight chocolatey as well! I love the smell of cocoa buttery. Cocoa butter is a great moisturized without breaking out my sensitive skin. Also, it helps even out my skin tone. I spent $5 on a Butterball bath bomb at Macy's. I cut it in half and only used half of it at a time trying to make it last because it is a bit pricey. Not too bad, but it's like melting your money!

I would recommend going to Macy's because the Lush sales associates let you try everything and give out samples! They are also really great at finding what you need. Be careful however.... I can't leave Lush without buying something!

Loccitane En Provence L'Occitane 100% Pure Mini Shea Butter 8ml

I am a huge L' Occitane fan (not of their prices but you gotta pay for the good stuff!) and have been satisified with nearly everything I've ever purchased from the boutique. My elbows and knees have been drying out severely (probably from being in the pool too much--it's summer!) and I needed a quick fix. I did some research online and shea butter is an all natural body moisturizer that is great for sensitive skin. I found this tin at loccitane.com and decided to try out this 100% organic mini shea butter balm. It has almost a waxy texture-- it isn't a lotion or a thick cream. It is a balm so it is sold in the tin, but smooths quickly and evenly onto skin. I've been using this product for about two week. After my shower, I just rub this balm on my elbows and knees and I wake up to smooth skin! I love that this stuff hasn't broken my skin out and I see absolutely no flakes. I use it as a cuticle conditioner as well when I am at stop lights. My hands aren't greasy aftwerwards, and you don't need to rub forever for the balm to sink into your skin. I don't use it on my face because it pretty thick and the heat is suffocating down here! I rather not wake up to clogged pores! There isn't much I hate about this product except that is is pricey. All in all a nice, versatile product and super moisturizing.

Neutrogena Age Shield plus Repair SPF 55

As yall all know I am on a sunblock kick because all the celebrities and doctors are raving about sun protection. I bought Neutrogena Age Shield Sunblock plus Repair SPF 55 because 1) it has a high SPF, 2) Neutrogena is a superb brand and I trust it, 3) this sunblock contains Essential Soy which has been clincially proven to help reduce the appearance of Sun Spots (I have many; I am a sun addict), 4) it also contains Vitamin E and Feverfew which are skin antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals. I was really looking for a sunblock that could even out my skin tone. I heard essential soy is great to even out sun spots. This sunblock was cheaper than Aveeno sunblock which also contain essential soy. It was about $12 at Target.

I've been using this product for about a month. I am not impressed with this product at all. My skin is brighter and a little bit more even, but my old sun spots are still there with no significant difference. They say it should take 6-8 weeks before there is any improvement, but I will not continue to use this on my face anymore. First off, I live in Texas where the humidity is awful! Neutrogena claims this sunblock is oil-free but my face was for the most part oily. Every time I went outside the humidity and this sunblock made my face shiny. It wasn't super greasy, but I didn't like the shine. I've used other sunblocks that didn't leave my face oily so I will go back to those. Other than leaving my face shiny, it was a pretty good sunblock and I will continue to use the rest of it on my body (Target does not accept returns on opened products). It does provide great sun protection and provides daily moisture. However, I will no longer use this as a sunblock for my face.

Beekman 1802 Goat Milk Soap

This soap is absolutely amazing. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I don't like shower poufs so I'm a total bar soap girl. I've been trying different goat milk soap bars for about a year now trying to find the best one and this is it. Goat milk soap has a pH level similar to human skin which protects skin from daily bacterial and chemical invasions. I love this soap because it is handmade from the Beekman boys! Thus, it contains no preservatives, alcohol, or any other skin irritating additives like traditional soap bars. Also, I love the little bag that holds the two individually wrapped soap bars! For a week now, I've been using the regular goat milk soap which retails for $12 for two 3.25 oz bars. My skin is moisturized, soft, and smooth. I even use it on my face. My skin is brighter and calms my skin (I live in the South where the sun is baking my face). The smell lingers in the shower and make my bathroom smell sooo clean and fresh, but it isn't too strong. I've also been getting a heat rash on my arms and this has helped clear up about 75% so far. I love this handmade soap and so does my skin =)
