Promising review: "I use this product habitually after I wash the day's makeup off and cleanse before I go to bed. My skin is so incredibly soft when I wake up!

This product is definitely not like its competitors." —PNPBeauty

This is a great moisturizer. I live in a very cold, dry place in the winter and was in need of some serious hydration for my face. This tub is huge and will definitely last me a long time.

Promising review: "My daughter went to school to be a makeup artist. They said this is the best thing for all skin types. Great as a base for makeup. Great on its own. I love it on my cheeks and neck for all day moisturizing. No joke, it lasts all day, even on the coldest windiest days, and in the driest heat indoors. I also like the covienant, more sanitary tube than sticking my finger in a jar of product." —Not4Nothin

bit.ly

Promising review: "
Out of all the body creams I've ever used, I have to say this is my favorite because the smell is just the best. It looks like ice cream, it's cold when applying, and the 'mint chocolate chips' melt into the skin leaving my skin smelling like ice cream and super soft. For me, I like a light fragrance with body creams, and this gives me an amazing amount of chocolate chip smell without being so overpowering. My skin feels so soft and moisturized especially during this crazy winter with the extremes of hot and cold." —SisiMakeupQuen

Get it from Sephora for $10. Also available in mint.

They can also double as a hair moisturizer for all of my natural babies!

Promising review: "
I use this oil only to moisturize my body; I switched from using lotions because the lotions started to break my skin out and left me feeling like something was sitting on top of my skin and not penetrating. I learned about this oil from searching online, trying to find something that would moisturize with breaking me out. This sweet almond oil is does just that, its perfect for my skin. I do not breakout and my skin is incredibly soft. The oil is lightweight, easily absorbs into my skin, and I feel that actually penetrates my skin and doesn't just sit on top of it like lotions typically do." —Eittocs

Get them from Amazon: the coconut oil for $13.95 and the almond oil for $11.53.
