Fab Fast Friday: Dry Hand Solutions with The Jojoba Company

It is time for another Fab Fast Friday! Fab Fast Friday is where I give you the quick scoop on a singular product that I am really loving lately! :)

Dry Hand Solutions with The Jojoba Company: Lemon & Coconut Hand Cream:

I must admit, this Hand Cream "had me" at Lemon & Coconut! What a refreshing scent combination for a hand cream! 

I really struggle with dry hands. With one child in diapers and two kids under 4 years old, I am constantly washing my hands and using hand sanitizer. While we are doing our best to keep germs away, we are wreaking havoc on our hands! So, a good hand cream is a must for both at home and on-the-go!

The Jojoba Company Lemon & Coconut Hand Cream:

Lately, I have really been loving the Lemon & Coconut Hand Cream from The Jojoba Company. This nicely hydrating cream is comprised of  organic coconut oil, lemon essential oil and 100% pure jojoba to re-hyrdrate and re-energize hands with a subtle fresh scent. The size of the tube is very travel-friendly: perfect for your handbag! I really enjoy the super fresh lemony scent. Such a refreshing scent now that Spring is approaching and the weather is turning warmer! The pump dispenser is a plus, too! 

If you are looking for a great new hand cream, check this one out. The packaging is so cute that it would be great for a gift, too!

Fab Fast Friday: Aveeno's Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash & Body Lotion

 Press  Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

It is time for another edition of Fab Fast Friday! Fab Fast Friday is my "quickie" review series where I basically just let you guys know what I am using and loving lately. :) It is my way to give you the skinny scoop on some really awesome products! 

This week I am going to share with you a couple of my favorite shower and post-shower items: Aveeno's Positively Nourising Calming Body Wash & Body Lotion. 

As an Aveeno Ambassador, I am having such a great time exploring this brand! I feel like Aveeno is a great fit for my skin type: I have very sensitive skin...and these products are just so gentle and soothing! I honestly have yet to meet an Aveeno product that has not worked for my skin.

Aveeno's Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash and Body Lotion is formulated with Lavender and Chamomile. If you are not a fan of lavender, don't let that scare you off. These products do not have a typical lavender smell. These Positively Nourishing Calming formula products actually have quite a lovely and fresh soft fragrance (I think there is a hint of lavender...but, mostly it just smells "clean" to me).

I like using the Aveeno Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash on a body pouf in the shower. It cleanses my skin gently without over-drying or leaving my skin feeling stripped. My skin is just left feeling clean and soft. It works into a nice lather and rinses clean. My husband tends to use my shower products and has mentioned that he is a fan of this Body Wash, too! After my shower, I towel dry and then apply Aveeno's Positively Nourishing Calming Body Lotion. I apply this pretty much from the neck down: my arms, legs, torso, feet, etc! The scent certainly is soothing! The Body Lotion is thick and rich without being sticky or greasy. I massage it into my skin and it quickly absorbs. 

Have you tried this formula of Aveeno's Positively Nourishing products? What did you think? Even though I tried the "calming" formula, I must note that these are not just products for evening showers! I actually use them in the morning after my morning shower. There is also an "Energizing" formulation that I would love to try next (grapefruit and pomegranate). Has anyone tried that? How do you like it?

Fab Fast Friday: Shiseido's NEW Perfecting Stick Concealer

Affiliate Link Press Sample

It is time for another Fab Fast Friday post! Fab Fast Friday is where I give you the super quick scoop on items that I am really loving lately. Ya'll know that I like to be wordy with my reviews. So, this is your chance to get the Skinny on some really awesome products that I want you to check out!

 

Finding a good concealer can be a challenge. Especially for my skin tone and coverage needs. My skin is super-duper fair (practically porcelain). Many times even the lightest shade in a brand is not light enough. Also, I have very dark under eye circles that require some pretty intense coverage and highly pigmented concealers.

Shiseido's NEW Perfecting Stick Concealer:

This gorgeous NEW concealer from Shiseido accomplishes both high coverage and a well-blended natural look at the same time!

The formula is really inventive! It contains a breakthrough "bind & fix wax" which is a networks structure that binds liquid oil and coverage powder together in a stick form. When you apply, the network deconstructs and distributes the product effortlessly onto the skin while providing phenomenal coverage with a natural look and budge-free wear! I am so impressed!!! I do find that I like wearing this concealer best around my nose area and on my chin as well as to cover any blemishes. While this concealer does fully cover my under eye dark circles, I do feel like I need a more creamy formula for under my eyes...but, for the rest of my face, this concealer is perfect!!!

I am the shade "light #11" which is a beautiful match for my skin tone. This Shiseido Perfecting Stick Concealer comes in 6 shades total. This concealer retails for $25.00. If you are in need of a fabulous high-coverage, natural looking, and long wearing concealer, be sure to check this one out!!!

What Is Fab Fast Friday?

As ya'll know, I tend to get lengthy and sometimes overly verbose with my reviews. LOL, clearly a makeup and beauty-obcessed girl like myself can talk *all day* about any given product. However, often my readers are in search for the Skinny review: the Down n' Dirty straight talk on a product. Did I like it? Do you need it in your life? Where can I get it? How much does it cost?  

Fab Fast Friday is my way of delivering to you short n' sweet reviews for products that are really standing out in my daily routine. These are products that you need to scope out! Some might be new releases...and some might be old favorites that have re-entered (or have always been in) my routine.
