Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream (Review)

PACKAGING:

-Comes in a hard plastic container

-Contains 1.7 oz of product

-Available @ drugstores as well as Walmart and Target

-Retail $15-$20 depending on the place of purchase

FORMULATION:

During the hot summer months it can get pretty tedious to put on a moisturizer (even though you really need it). None of us want that heavy feeling on our skin. The solution a gel moisturizer! Neuttogena Hydro Gel Cream gives you just the perfect amount of moisture without the heavy feeling. The texture is a cross between a gel and a cream. It has the gel like feeling but the texture of a cream. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any unwanted residue. This moisturizer contains hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring product in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid has many uses but it is known for keeping the skin hydrated. As we age our bodies tend to produce less and less of hyaluronic acid. It has a nice fresh scent that lingers but nothing too strong that would make you want to puke. While this product is designed for dry skin because of the gel texture those with oily skin can also use it.

Eva NYC Clean it Up Shampoo (Review)

PACKAGING: 

-Comes in a plastic pink bottle

-Contains 16.9 fl oz of product

-Availability varies but can be found at most ULTA stores as well as some online retailers

-Retails around $5-$10

FORMULATION:

My hair has been feeling pretty dry lately with all these weather changes. I needed a little something more than just a deep conditioner. So wandering through the aisles of ULTA I found this little number. The Eva NYC is a restorative shampoo that cleanses and nourishes hair. It contains Argan oil that provides the hair with vitamins and nutrients to keep it shiny and healthy as well as Kervais protein that helps renew vitality and strength. Compared to most shampoos, I found this one to be more on thicker side. It does a great job cleansing all the dirt, oil, and other unnecessary things that fly into my hair on daily basis but at the same time doesn't dry out my hair. This is one of the first shampoos I have ever tried where I felt I didn't need to use a conditioner afterwards. The smell is so and so. It does have that Argan oil scent but nothing overpowering. If you are a fan of nicely scented hair products I don't recommend this but if you are looking for a moisturizing shampoo definitely give this a try!
