Today I'm going to do a product review of Sally Hansen's New Products. Cuticle Eraser + Balm and VitaSurge Cuticle Gel.
I have been eying these in Walgreens for awhile now and I finally took the plunge. The $6 plus price tag of each deterred me at first, but I finally broke down and tried them out. I am so glad that I did. They are both amazing for me.
First up is VitaSurge (the Orange Bottle).
This stuff is AMAZING! It's a gel so it is not like your typical cuticle oil. It dries in seconds and dries matte and not shiny! This stuff is perfect for taking NOTD pictures. When your fingers are dry and flaky after doing a manicure and you want to quickly snap that perfect NOTD picture, this is the go to product. It dries instantly and there is not even the slightest trace of oil. It has a sponge applicator, similar to lip gloss. No more oily shiny finger NOTD shots! This is a new HG product for me. I hate having to oil up and wait to take pictures. Now there is no wait, PLUS it makes your cuticles so smooth looking. I will never take a NOTD picture or picture here again without using this first.
Next up is the Cuticle Eraser + Balm.
I LOVE THIS STUFF. It's also not greasy at all, and does not leave a shiny look either. It's the perfect follow up to the VitaSurge. I would definitely recommended using both products together. I also love the smell. I can not use this stuff without sniffing away lol. It makes my cuticles feel so soft and moisturized.
I have been using both for a week and all my other Cuticle Oils, Balms, And even my CND Cuticle Eraser have all been tucked away in a drawer. My Cuticles look really improved and my fingers feel so great using this stuff. This will be a new staple for me as well.
I would love to hear from those that have tried it. Did you like them? If so why or why not. Leave your responses in the comments below.
oh man i really want to try that orange stuff now! i usually use a hand salve if my skin is looking particularly dry. it absorbs quickly and doesn't look greasy, but it's not matte either so i have to watch how much i apply. i'll try to pick some up next time there's a sally hansen sale :D
ReplyDeleteI bought the Cuticle Eraser + Balm, but I haven't tried it yet. I need to read the instructions, since I've never used anything for my cuticles. (I know, I know shame on me!) Do you think you need both? Seems like they do pretty much the same thing. I don't take NOTD shots, so I'm cool on that front :P
ReplyDeleteYes I would say both.
DeleteIt's hard to describe, but as you use them you will understand. The VitaSurge Dries really fast and you don't even notice it was applied after a minute, where as the balm is more creamy like a lotion, and it feels really nice.
I think it's best to use both for several weeks, than take away the product you least like out of the two and see if it makes a difference, then you will know for sure which you need and don't need. Hope that helps :)
