Product Review: Harajuku Lovers Baby Perfume

I received a sample set of the "World of Harajuku Lovers Fragrance" in the mail. It contains 5 scents, only one of which I've yet sampled. Named "Baby" and described as "fresh, clean, soft," this perfume certainly lives up to the claim--it smells like Baby Powder to me. Personally, I don't want to smell like Baby Powder. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this in the foreseeable future. But if that's your go-to fragrance, by all means, push ahead! :)

I'll report in later what I think about the other scents.

Product Review: Jergens Natural Glow



I received a free sample in the mail of Jergens Natural Glow Healthy Complexion Daily Facial Moisturizer (which hopefully you got too since I posted the link to the Walmart free sample). It's UVA/UVB SPF 20 and is designed to gradually create natural-looking color as well as prevent premature aging and protect skin from everyday sun exposure. Oil-free, dermatologist-tested, lightweight, and non-comedogenic (meaning it doesn't tend to irritate acne).

I chose the shade "Fair to Medium Skin Tones" for my sample which turned out be a generous .7 fl oz portion (20 mL). I haven't finished the bottle yet, but notwithstanding, I don't think there will be any tremendous color results in the next few days. But, for a drugstore face lotion, I did like the product. So if you're in the market for an inexpensive face lotion with possible natural-looking color results, you might want to give Jergens Natural Glow Facial Moisturizer a try.
