Product Review: L'Oreal Revitalift Night Cream

I'm a very expressive person and I've been told that I make a lot of faces during conversations. Between that and being tired from having an infant and working and being in graduate school, I've noticed my skin is no longer as radiant (ha ha) as it was in the past. For someone who is obsessive about avoiding sun exposure (I don't want skin cancer!), I sure do have a bunch of little wrinkles all of a sudden. Yikes. 

I thought 25 was too young to start using a night cream, but I figured I'd better start now or I'll look like I'm 40 in a few years. (Now that's a slight exaggeration, I know.). But it would be nice to get rid of some of these little lines that have started popping up under my eyes and between my eyebrows.

Since my skin is so sensitive, I'm an ardent user of Clinique products and have been for over a decade. When I had mini-wrinkle crisis, I didn't have the time to head out to Clinique, so I decided to just get a temporary fix from Target. I picked up L'Oreal Revitalift Night Cream. A few weeks later I was blown away. This stuff really works! I used the lotion every night for a month before I saw results. One morning I noticed that the line between my eyebrows had been reduced. I now feel like I can now furrow my brow without worrying about permanent damage! Not only does the cream work well, it smells great too. It's thick and moisturizes well and doesn't leave any negative effects for those who have sensitive skin. For a $13 jar of night cream, this stuff is amazing. I'm glad I decided to skip the Clinique (and save some cash) for now. 

Product Review: Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer

I just bought a bottle of Vaseline’s new Spray & Go Moisturizer. This stuff is amazing! I don’t like the greasiness or sticky residue of regular lotion and I hate how long it takes to soak in. I also have a tendency to buy bottles of lotion, especially if I have a coupon or they’re on sale, and then use half and abandon the bottle. Robin gets annoyed because I put these half-used bottles of lotion under the bathroom sink “just in case we need them.” This new Spray & Go is easy to use, smells great, and is lightweight. You do have to rub it in but it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re covered in butter. The spray aspect is nice and I think it will be very useful for traveling because I doubt it will leak like traditional lotion bottles. Also, I’ll most likely use an entire bottle and therefore eliminate a new addition to the lotion graveyard under our sink. There are three different scents of Spray & Go Moisturizer and I can’t wait to try the other two (I currently have the Pure Oat Extract kind and it smells really nice. Some days I don't even wear perfume because I forget after I put the lotion on.). Thanks, Vaseline! You’re awesome.
