Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

          I started using lotion for the sake of the nice smell that they give off and I wanted to moisturize my hands. As I got older, I continued to buy lotions that smell good, but I realized that the lotions that I've been buying has no effect in moisturizing my hands. My hands were still dry and those lotions feel really oily.  It takes a long time for the lotions to dry off. 
          Just last year, my mom bought Neutrogena's Norwegian hand cream and I tried it when I went back home for break. She bought it because it was on sale and she said that this cream improved her  dry skin.  So, she suggested me to try putting some on. The lotion felt thick and is totally different from the creamy/oily lotion that I normally use.  I squeezed some on my hands and it dried pretty fast. I actually felt that my hands were actually moisturized. This cream can be used on your elbows, knees, face and lips. I'm so glad that I tried it because the cream works way better than the brands I normally use.

Neutrogena Oil-free Eyemakeup Remover

          Removing makeup is more important than putting on makeup. The first makeup remover that I used were the makeup removing wipes. I liked removing my makeup with the wipes because it is easy and fast. The only thing that annoyed me was that the wipes dry up too fast. Other than that, I'm all good with wipes. At some point I started using eyemakeup remover pads to remove my eyemakeup because my sister had always used them. I thought I should give it a try too. For a while, I actually liked the eyemakeup remover pads more than the wipes. I don't remember when, but the pads actually stung my eyes on this one day. Also, pads can put stree on your eye lids and create wrinkles since the eye is the most sensitive area. This really changed my thoughts on makeup remover wipes and pads. I felt like there has to be other ways for me to remove my makeup without using the wipes or pads.
            Indeed, I bought my first oil eyemakeup remove while in Korea. I think it was the green tea remover from Missha. At first, I wasn't so sure about oil makeup removers, but I remember seeing people use it so it shouldn't be too bad. The oil does make your eyes feel oily, but I use a cotton pad first then wipe it better with a cotton ball. I lightly dipped the cotton pad with the makeup remover and press it on my eyes for maybe 20-30s and wipe out the makeup. Then, I would dip a Q-tip into the remover and wipe off the inner corners of my eye and also the waterline. I saw a YouTube beauty guru using this technique and I made some adjustments to fit my own need. Nowadays I rely on oil make up removers for removing my makeup. 
             I've been trying different oil or oil free eyemakeup removers to see which ones suit me. I have tried Missha's green tea eyemakeup remover, Target's, Clean and Clears, MaryKay's and Boot's Botonics. So far I would say that Missha's was my favoritest one. Currently, I'm trying Neutrogena's oil-free eyemakeup up remover. It doesn't make my eyes feel super oily after using this two times. So, I'm pretty good with it right now, but I'm really interested in finding more natural makeup removers. I'm already putting lots on my face and it would just be great to give my face rest.
