I don't know, but when trying this moisturizer I did not like the texture. It was pasty/tacky. Skin at contact felt dry, which can be good - a lot of us don't like to feel oily or greesy. However, the skin also felt w/o moisture. Overall, this is not a product I would use for daily use, it would have to be in an extreme case only. -

I originally used this wash for my eczema (read review here: http://www.mamaandthecity.com/2014/02/3-things-that-help-me-deal-with-eczema.html ). However, I accidentally discovered this was an excellent face wash. Around December I was trying some skin care routines and used this wash since that's all I had at hand. The feeling is hard to explain, but while they claim is scent-free I feel like it has a very mild sea/marine scent, which I don't mind at all. The texture, similar to the Aveeno products, is neither too milky or pasty nor gelly. AND the high level of moisture that remains on the skin is unbelievable! THIS is a must used product during winter times. I'm so happy I discovered this by accident. I see myself alternating between my Aveeno in summer to Polysporin in winter.
My only discomfort is the packaging, I wish it was more friendly like the Aveeno. I do not like the squeezable bag types for some reason, feel slippery if I keep it in the shower. For C$15 for 350 ml I would think would be more robust.

Aveeno Active Naturals Skin Relief Chamomile Body Wash

I traded my soap bar (Goat milk one ~ $2/bar) for this body wash. I noticed in terms of usage it is comparably the same. My soap bar was depleted in a short time even though it was consistently in a case. When this gentle chamomile scent came out I was pulled to it right away. And, Aveeno has the perfect combination in their body wash line - not too milky or too gelly kind of texture. Aveeno's texture is a nice mix.
This body wash is however not like their traditional line, I find it more suitable for normal skin so there is less moisture if compared. Due to age, I can see only using this for my body and during the not-so-cold season.
Also, it could be a little pricey, so I tend to stock up when the 350 ml is on sale for $5 a bottle.

Make Up Revolution NEW-TRALS vs Neutrals - THIS is all anyone needs

The photo on the packaging does not do any justice to the real product. Once I found an open box I could not believe the wearability of every color selection.
This pallete can create smooth light cream neutrals. Also can create a more dramatic peach tones - for those who complain on the Heat pallete from UrbanDecay, this one creates a nice toned line.
It also has mattes and shimmers - which surprisingly are not too shinny, perfect for work!
AND beautiful highlighters in both gold and pink shades - just fantastic!
Last, but not least, the darks are awesome to use for smokey effects as well as transition into night make up. OR, use instead of eyeliner!
I Seriously use the whole palette. I think this is it for me! This has set up the bar high for other palettes out there. Price, variety, amount and pigment quality.
The case has a very nice mirror too.
The only cons is that the brushes are too cheap, very plasticky fibers, but still pick up product nicely. Also, I do not like the matte texture of the outing case. Anything sticks and can look messy. But for C$19 this is the best eyeshadow ever - It has replaced so many of my single ones. And space is money too :-)
