    AvoJuice Peach Juice Review & Photos

    This lotion is one of the silkiest and smoothest that I've ever tried. It goes on almost like water. It is fairly moisturizing, but I wouldn't consider it to be the most moisturizing lotions ever. The smells of these are very true to the name. The one that I have is Peach Juice, and it basically smells exactly like when you cut open a peach. The scent is very strong, so if you're sensitive to smells you may want to stay away from this lotion.

    Carmex Healing Lotion Review & Photos

    With a brand new lotion line from Carmex, I'm pretty impressed. Yesterday, I reviewed the Carmex Healing Cream, which is my favorite of the two. The Carmex Healing Lotion is also very good. It has a much faster absorbing time, but with a less moisturizing effect. I originally got the full size, but my took it over. Before Christmas, Walgreens had travel sizes of a few different hand lotions - Carmex Healing Lotion included. I picked up a few to keep in my purse, pencil case, etc. This definitely great for on the go, since you don't have to wait for it to soak in. This is must have lotion if you have dry hands in the winter and need something to carry with you.

    Carmex Healing Cream Review & Photos

    Looking for a thick, moisturizing hand cream? Well here's one of the best I've found. Even though this lotion has the same smell has all Carmex products (which I don't find appealing), this stuff definitely works very well for dry hands, elbows, knees, etc. As said on the packaging, it is a very concentrated lotion, which allows it to be one of the most moisturizing hand creams I have. However, I do not think that it "absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel." Personally, my hands are very cracked and dry in the winter, but this product does not absorb fast. It does absorb after a given time though. I wouldn't say it has a greasy feel before drying, but it's almost sticky. It has the same texture as Carmex chapstick. Overall, this lotion is great for the dry months of winter!
