Sun Bum Mineral Lip Balm review

A good mineral SPF lip balm is hard to find. This one's a keeper.

Chapped lips are a nuisance—and they can get so bad that it becomes painful to eat (one of my favorite activities!).

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?

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). I don’t think I can fall asleep without slathering it on my hands first…the sleep association is that strong. It’s not an expensive product, but I’ve always been curious about the store-brand dupes I’ve seen at…

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion is my go-to lotion—I always use it right before I go to sleep at night. I always take a travel-size portion of it with me when I’m away from home. On a recent trip, I didn’t pack quite enough of it, so I thought I would try out the CVS drugstore version of this lotion, just for kicks.
