Target Up & Up Advanced Repair Body Lotion Review: A dupe worth its weight in gold

I tried Target's dupe of one of my all-time favorite lotions. Does it live up to the real thing?

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Body Lotion is a mainstay of my bedside table. It’s the lotion I use every night before I drift off to sleep (and the lotion I reapply every time I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, ha).

Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Review

This sunscreen is thick and leaves a greasy finish. It's also incredibly difficult to wash off.

Cetaphil makes some of the most trustworthy skin care products you’re likely to find at the drugstore today. Lots of people have raved about their lotions, including me. But a few months ago, I tried one of their sunscreens, and I could instantly understand why this company isn’t famous for its sunscreen. I’ve only used it a few times because it makes me look like a ghost, so I tend to reach for other sunscreens instead of this one. Plus, it only provides SPF 30 protection…
