Vaseline Intensive Care advanced repair lotion, compliments of Influenster

I suffer from dry skin. Like Sahara desert dry at times. So I was really excited to receive the opportunity from Influenster to try Vaseline Intensive Care advanced repair lotion! And then the U.S. Postal service decided it wasn’t quite time for me to try it, since my VoxBox left PA on October 24th to end up traveling to NH, NJ, MI, to my home state of Ohio, back to MI, to NH, NJ, MA, NJ, NC, back to MI to FINALLY arrive at my doorstep Nov 12th, almost 3 WEEKS LATER!!

Anyway, on to my actual review of the product. I have tried MANY lotions over the years. I prefer something scented, but I also want it to work to heal me of my dry skin. In my opinion a thicker lotion usually does a better job hydrating my skin, and unfortunately this lotion feels fairly runny to me. It also left my skin feeling kind of sticky or tacky. Not too bad, but definitely different that what I am used to. It did a fairly good job of hydrating my skin, but did not seem to last as long as my usual thicker body lotion either. Overall I did like it and would recommend it, but I will probably stick to my usual brand, which is a little more expensive, but in my opinion worth it.

*I received this product for FREE to try from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion on this review*.




 

Pink Lemonade 5-hour Energy from Smiley 360

I love the concept of energy in a bottle, but I had had only bad experiences with energy pills before. Then 5 hour energy came along, and I was skeptical that it would work, so I had never tried it before, but it did indeed work. I felt an unexplained alertness, with no jitters or strange feeling. I was also glad that there was no crash and burn when the fuel ran out, I just felt like my normal tired self again. I was glad that it was pink lemonade flavor, because I have heard the original flavor leaves much to be desired. The first time I tried it, I thought to myself that I think it would be better refrigerated so I tried another that way and it was better in my opinion. I am also really glad it is only 4 calories. I definitely recommend to others who need an occasional boost, especially this pink lemonade one since it is the breast cancer awareness edition in which 5 hour energy has pledged to donate at least $200,000 to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. *I received 2 bottles of 5 hour energy pink lemonade for FREE for this review, which is my own opinions.*
