Taking a little break (aka product review)

Life is a little hectic right now.

Plans are in the making.

Moves are being made.

Life is being lived.

One of the things I’ve been a little behind is doing the reviews on the products I’ve received. I’m a little shocked that companies what to know my opinion (I feel like I’m such a small fish in this big ass ocean) but send they did and I have a responsibility to let them know what I think!

Not too long after I got back from Fitbloggin (oh my God I miss everyone so stinking much…quick get on a plane and get here pronto for a sleep over!) I got an email from Craig Kessler asking if I would try some products and give my honest opinion. I think it takes a lot of balls to ask some random person to try a product then write a review for it. I mean what if I hate it? It also takes a lot of balls for that random person to try a product and be honest about the opinion. I mean what if I hate it lol….

Lucky for him I don’t hate it.

I was actually given two products. Both a face lotion and a body lotion. Funny thing to know about me is I’m not really that well versed in taking care of my body enough to know that there is a difference in the two. I’m being school on this very subject and was being taught the finer difference even before the two products arrived.

I had to be vigilant in making sure I used the BODY lotion on the BODY and the FACE lotion on the FACE. Not an easy feat I tell ya. Another funny bit of info about me is I don’t really like touching my body too much what with the loose skin. I mean I can dry my body off with a towel and I can touch it when it’s covered with clothing but naked skin on skin is still difficult for me. So this was to be a test of not only how much I liked a product but whether or not I could follow through with actually using it.

Here’s my verdict: I like it. A lot. Do I like it over other products? I don’t know. I’ve never used a body lotion before on my body so there is nothing to compare it too. I liked the way it felt going on my body. I liked the way it felt while on my body. I liked the way it felt hours after putting it on my body.

Another thing: I didn’t mind touching my skin either. The first few times it was a little difficult but having my skin feel so damn soft for so long afterwards made me actually look forward to putting it on the next day. Way to go Eucerin!

 

 

 

 

 

This was the other product that was sent to me. Another bit of info about me is that my face is extremely senstive. So much so that so far I’ve only been able to find one lotion that I like to use. It’s a body lotion. It will remain nameless since this is about Eucerin

I used it. It felt good on my face but unfortunately it also burned my skin. This is not a negative on Eucerin’s product but rather just my facial skin saying “Oh hell no you don’t Tara”…

To say I don’t like it would be a lie. I wanted it to feel good on my skin. I wanted to like it as much as I liked the body lotion. It smelled good. It felt good on my hands. I tried it for a week just to give it my best shot but more often than not I had to wash it off.

Again this is not a bad review for this particular product. This product just didn’t work on my skin. I’m gonna give it to someone else and see if they like it…

My guess is they will.

Thanks Craig for the opportunity to check out a product I wouldn’t normally try. Now when I go shopping I have another option for body lotion. That makes me pretty happy!!!
