My Holy Grail for dry and sensitive skin

There is a product that works like wonders and it is really cheap. It is the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. People might not like this product because it has greasy feeling when you use it but when you have really dry and sensitive skin like I do it doesn't matter at all.

I also have eczema so my skin can be flaky, dry and it can react easily to any fragrance. It helped me treat it and I saved a lot of money because prescribed creams can be quite expensive. How do I use the petroleum jelly on my eczema? Apply it on the affected area and put a band aid over night. The next morning the bleeding or red patches will fade.

Do you want to have smooth feet for summer? Apply it on your feet and wear socks when you sleep. The next morning you will not have any cracks on your feet.

PROS:

  1. soften skin
  2. moisturize skin
  3. fragrance free
  4. cheap

CONS:

  1. can be greasy but I actually don't mind

Keihl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Review

It has been a month that I have use Keihl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate and this product is amazing. You have to know that my skin is sensitive so it gets really dry and red when I use a new product. 

I was surprised that when I used it I didn't have any reaction. The next morning my skin looks smooth and even. I also noticed that my acne scars have fade. You don't need a lot of product a few drops go a long way. It cost 48 CAN$ for a bottle of 30mL. On Keihl's website, it says that it is fragrance free but I did smell an herbal smell. It isn't bad and I must admit that the fragrance is calming. My skin did absorb the product really fast and it doesn't feel greasy at all. Usually, I put a few drops on my face let it be absorb and apply my moisturizer before bed.

Overall I do suggest any of you that can get a hand on it should buy this product because it does really work. Keihl's products never fail on me and I wish it will never. Have an awesome day my friends.

Mother's Day Gift Guide

I don't know for you guys but my mom doesn't like when I spend a lot of money on her. So for today, I will give you some ideas for Mothers' days.

You should at least get:

1. Flowers
Flowers aren't expensive and most mommies love a fresh bouquet in the house. Choose something that she loves or something that is colourful so it can brightens her day.

2. A card
Choose a cute card. It will be better if it is blank inside so you can write a personalized message. If you want you can always make one your own it will be personal.

Some others personalized ideas:

If you have some times, you can make a small souvenir video buy putting some vacations clips, old pictures, her favourite songs, etc.

You can make some coupons that she can use in exchange for a service. For example, cook her diner or wash the dishes or take a day off and bring her to the mall.

What you can buy?

1. Listen to her, ask her questions and you will know what she needs. Buy something that is useful. For example, buy her a T-shirt that she likes.

2. If you don't know what she needs, give her a gift card from her favourite store.

Avoid buying perfume because it is personal. Not everyone loves the same scent. If you are buying one be sure it's something she loves.

I hope this helped some of you. Have a great day,

Review of the OPI Nail Lacquer: STRAWBERRY MARGARITAS

When it comes to nail polish, I’m a total freak. I must admit that I have never been an OPI nail polish fan but somehow this one caught my eyes. 
Strawberry Margarita is a bright pink. The consistency of this product is perfect and the color application opaque. After one coat you are good to go but I prefer to add a second coat in case I missed a place.The color is amazing on any skin tone. I really like the brush because it is wide so it is easy to apply. It is affordable since it is around 5-10$ depending where you buy it. I hope this review was helpful.
