Aveeno Moisturizing Bar.
This face bar is great. I love everything about it except that sometimes the bar doesn't dry out between uses and gets softy (-1). Otherwise its my favorite fash wash as of now, it never dries out my skin and doesn't make me break out either. Muy Bueno!

Dove Deep Moisture Facial Lotion.
I got this lotion because it has spf 15 in it, and I love it! It's pretty thick, but not heavy on the face at all. It has a nice scent as well. I give it a 9/10 because its too heavy for everyday use.

C.O. Bigelow.
Okay so over the past years I have obtained quite a collection of C.O. Bigelow products. I usually buy them at Bath and Body works but I'm sure they can be found elsewhere. These are a few of the products I have and use:
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine- I have had it in a reddish color (not sure which tint #), pink (1137) and just plain mint- great gloss and great flavor 10/10
Bigelow Mentha Lip Balm Stick- its no-shine formula, I like it quite a bit, but it feels a little cakey on the lips. I didn't realise that there is an spf formula, but I definitely recommend it (the spf one that is). 8/10- -1 for the feel and -1 b/c it doesn't help with chapness that much.
Bigelow Deluxe Gentle Foaming Cleanser- I really like this face wash, the only problem I had with it is contrary to the title, it doesn't foam so I never know if it's all washed off or if I miss any spots. (9/10)
Chapped Hands Soap Free Cleanser- I bought this cleanser during the winter when I lived in the dorms, the foamy hand washes across campus are killer on the hands. I really like this cleanser but it's kinda hard to wash off, and you have to use pretty hot water, because of the oils, but it's definitely worth having baby soft hands. (9/10) -1 for the packaging, the jar is kind of awkward to scoop cleanser out of and the waxy-oilyness of the cleanser.
Dr. Hiosous Quince Hand Lotion- I used this lotion at about the same time as the chapped hands cleanser and they are a great pair! This lotion is lightweight but extra moisturizing and smells good! Also, its non-greasy. 10/10
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine- I have had it in a reddish color (not sure which tint #), pink (1137) and just plain mint- great gloss and great flavor 10/10

As mentioned before, I bought Vaseline's Daily Skin Shield lotion with spf 15... it has green tea and aloe vera in it. It is wonderful! Just as it says, it is light and non-greasy. It absorbs quickly and smells pretty good (like aloe) and makes my skin feel good too. And knowing that it has spf in it makes me happy too. It doesn't feel like a sunscreen at all either which is a major plus. I give it a 10/10.
Okay, so after a long week in South Haven the sun has taken a toll on my skin. I thought about it more, and decided to use a moisturizer without spf at night (thank you Sarah N.), I started using Kiehls Ultra Facial Moisturizer which is great, I used it in the winter and love it. I also use Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream, for those days when my face needs a little more attention.
I give the moisturizer a 9/10 because it can get greasy but thats what these are for.
I give the blotting tissues a 9/10- I just got them but I really like them, they sometimes leave too much powder in areas though, which can be rubbed in with the fingers.
As for the cream, I give it a 10/10. Its great! Also, fun fact: in 2005 the crew on the first ascent of Greenland's icy mountains used this cream! ooh la la!

Update on The Lotion Post.
Okay so I used that Nivea firming moisturizer a little more and I don't think I like it at all. I'm going to give it a 6/10 because it does what it says, it gives you a little color (which, if you don't wash your hands will end up in the webbed part between your fingers... not cute) and I'm not sure if it 'firms' b/c i didn't use it enough and I'm already pretty 'firm' Anyway, I give it a 6/10 cuz it gave me a little irritation and also turned my hands orange glow. Anyway, it does seem to do what it claims so if firming color is what you need, this lotion is your match.

The Lotion Post.
Alright, so here it goes... I have been trying to find the perfect body moisturizer for many years now and have still many many more to try. I have had some great bottles of lotion, but haven't found the right one yet. Here are the ones that I have tried:
Eucerin Original Body Lotion- 9/10~ moisturizes well, fragrance free, non irritating but it is kinda greasy (-1 for that)
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion- 9/10 moisturized well, also fragrance free, oatmeal but smelled a little off~ 9/10 (-1 for smell)
Burt's Bees Baby Bee Lotion- 7/10~ smelled nice, but it left a weird squeaky feeling and sometimes irritated my skin (even though it says for sensitive skin of all ages)
and I am currently using Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Lotion. I actually really like it and have no problem with it, I just haven't used it long enough to give it a rating. It is fragrance free, very moisturizing and doesn't smell like anything. Rating to follow in the near future.
and sometimes I use Cocoa Butter Lotion... I usually use it after a day at the pool. I give it a 9/10, it smells good, moisturizes well and cocoa butter has many great effects (helps prevent fine lines and protects skin) but its a little runny so it's hard to control how much comes out of the bottle (-1).
Oh yeah, and I also got a small bottle of this and its pretty great. It has aloe vera and green tea in it and spf 15... but I have only sampled it a total of two times... a review of that one to come in the near future as well.
And one more that my mom gave me... I have only used it 3-4 times... it tingles and irritates my skin a little, but its supposed to be firming and has that gradual sunless tanner in it (not sure how I feel about it- gradual sunless tanner that is). Anyway, I have't seen any change in my skin color or firmness...? But I will get a rating of it up here soon.
