Imagine if you could go to a place - a happy place - where you could learn about and try the latest products from some of your favorite (affordable) brands that help make your life easier. Some marketing genius at Proctor & Gamble decided to create just this - a pop-up experience bringing products released in the past 6-18 months from brands like Olay, Cover Girl, Pringles, Bounty, Charmin, Tide and Febreeze together under one roof.

The Have You Tried This Yet pop-up experience is open on the corner of 57th & 6th Ave from now until October 31st. Not only can you learn, try (yes, samples!) and experience the products featured in the pop-up, you can even get your hair colored using Nice'n Easy by expert stylists! *Note: you must visit the experience two days prior to have an allergy test administered.

If you can't make it to 53rd & 6th, check your local newspaper this Sunday, October 31st, for a brandSAVER, full of over $113 in savings.

Curel Sensitive Skin Remedy Lotion for Dry Irritated Skin

$7.99$5.99 by Curel at Walgreens

The fall season has just barely begun and I'm already consistently reaching for lotion at least twice a day. For some reason, my skin is flaking and cracking in the strangest of ways. Sometimes, I feel like a reptile.

Curél, a brand I associate with good drugstore lotions, recently released the Sensitive Skin Remedy for Dry, Irritated Skin. Unbeknownst to me, sensitivity is caused by weakened skin. The team at Curél found that by replenishing Ceramides, skin's protection mechanism, that they could actually help strengthen skin and reduce future sensitivity.

All of these scientific facts sound great - but what does that mean...exactly?

I haven't tried the formula for an extended period of time, so I can't comment on the future sensitivity. However, the product is surprisingly thin and effective. Whenever I think of a healing lotion, especially for the winter months, I think of a thicker formula. When you first squeeze the product out of the tube, it resembles shampoo - but a little goes a long way. There isn't much of a smell either (the packaging says it is fragrance & dye free). *Note, there is also an original, fragranced formula*

The ultra moisturized result is long-lasting and isn't tacky, plus it helps to smooth and heal any existing imperfections. If the other products in the Sensitive Skin Remedy line are anything like the lotion, I just might have a new favorite. The collection also includes Daily, Ultra Healing, Itch Defense and Skin Nourishing lotions, Hand & Cuticle Cream and a Foot Therapy Cream.
