New Products from Avalon Organics, Jason, Alba Botanica, & proactiv+

New products are everywhere, not just at the drugstore! I have a haul of skincare products that I want to share with you, as well as two makeup products to keep it interesting. 😉 I haven’t heard anyone talking about these products, though, so that’s why I’m sharing my thoughts on all these items with you! If you’ve seen these products in your local Target and wondered if they’re worth the purchase, than this post is for you! 🙂

Jason Foaming Shower Oil, Nourishing Shea Butter

I was really intrigued by the concept of this product — a foaming shower oil. But I honestly couldn’t get it to work the way I liked it. I tried both with a wash cloth and with a loofa. It did foam when I used it, but not much. And maybe I’m just spoiled with my Caress body wash (suds up so much and always smells amazing!), but this didn’t do it for me. It cleaned me just fine and had a pleasant smell to it…but shower oils just aren’t for me.

Jason Sheer Spray Lotion, Soothing Aloe Vera

I’ll be honest and say I’m not a fan of spray lotions. All the ones I have experienced in the past don’t moisturize very well, and are so wet it takes forever to work it into my skin. However! With this product I was really pleased with the results I got. Instead of using this after I get out of the shower, I use it on the days I don’t take a shower (new Mama to a 2 month old, showers are a luxury now! 😛 ). It keeps my legs feeling moisturized and the pleasant fragrance this lotion gives makes me feel more refreshed and like I did get my shower.

proactive+ Repairing Concealer

This product you can’t get at Target, but I wanted to share it with you in this post anyways. It’s a really neat product! Especially if you deal with blemishes. This concealer quad not only gives you great coverage to hide acne spots, it also has medication infused within that fights against the acne and helps you get rid of it faster! Pretty sweet! And with 4 colors in the quad, I’ve always been able to mix and find the perfect shade I need, for whatever part of my face needs hiding. You could also use this quad to cream contour and highlight, too! 🙂

Alba Botanica Fast Fix for Undereye Circles & Fast Fix for a Pimple

These two totally intrigued me and I ended up being very pleased with one, and disappointed with the other. The undereye circles is a very yellowish concealer, which I found to cover my dark circles very well. Even on the days when I wore minimal makeup, a dot of this blended underneath my eyes worked wonders. I used this a lot the first month after my baby was born! 🙂 the one for pimples is the one I didn’t like. It felt very greasy on my skin and never really set, even with powder — it slid everywhere. It also had a peculiar smell to it that I didn’t find pleasing. So, I would purchase the Fast Fix for Undereye Circles, but not the Fast Fix for a Pimple.

Avalon Organics Hand & Body Lotion, Grapefruit & Geranium

I know, another body lotion — but, hey, it’s winter! It’s when we need it the most, right? Well, let me tell you if you need a new body lotion than this is the product to get! It smells amazing, feels amazing, and is very moisturizing. Also, a little goes a long way — one pump will easily do both my legs after I get out of the shower. I love that it has a pump and I can leave it on my bathroom counter and just use a little on my hands after I wash them. Because who wants dry, cracked hands?!

What new products have you tried recently? I would love to hear recommendations for a new day-time moisturizer with SPF! I have combination/oily skin and am on the hunt for one I’ll love.
