Review: Jergens Extra Moisturizing Hand Wash

As a new mom who washes her hands 30-40 times a day (I wash my hands before and after every diaper change, before every feeding, and basically after I touch anything other than the little peanut), it's inevitable that my hands will get dry and cracked. But that's just it. My hands are great!

Jergens Extra Moisturizing Hand Wash

I attribute this lucky happenstance to my religious use of Jergens Extra Moisturizing Hand Wash. I wash with this hand soap every time (except when I was away for the holidays where my hands got wrecked!). The soap is a white shimmery liquid that smells a little sweet, lathers up lightly, and washes off easily and cleanly with just a nickel-size amount. It's also super cheap! Only $2.19 for 7.5 fl oz at drugstore.com - and it lasts me about 2-3 months! My only gripe is the packaging - not so pretty. I take care of that by pouring the contents out into a pretty dispenser. Perfect!

Review: 100% Pure Lip Glaze in Sultry

When I was a little girl, I used to rub cherry popsicle on my lips and walk around pretending it was lipstick. It looks like my idea has finally caught on. I discovered the 100% Pure Cosmetics makeup line at the drugstore today and decided to give their lip glaze a try.

100% Pure Cosmetics Lip Glaze in Sultry - $15

I usually don't buy drugstore lipsticks because they tend to have a strong chemical taste that I really dislike, but this one caught my eye. Their products are colored from fruit and vegetable pigments. The lip glaze smells like fruit juice and doesn't taste bad. Plus, I don't have to worry about nasty chemicals rubbing off on my little peanut when she inevitably bangs her head against my face. I tried on a bunch of the colors at the store and noticed that the colors are more vibrant on the skin than in the tube. I ended up buying the Sultry color, which matches my natural lip shade almost exactly!
