More product reviews!

I'm always up for trying new face products as I never seem to find the right one that clears up my skin! Over the years I've tried Proactive, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Cetaphil, etc etc. After seeing In Style's Best Beauty Buys I went out and purchased Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. In the past I've tried the Ultra Calming lotion from Aveeno, but never the Positively Radiant. I love that Aveeno's face lotions have SPF so I often go back to these products, but I'm not loving this new one. I've been using it for the past 2 weeks (at least) but the smell is just so distracting and unpleasant!

Curious if others found this problem, I did a quick google search. One reviewer said "I don't like the smell. It's like someone mixed soy sauce with honey and watermelon." Not sure if I would agree with that description, but it's certainly funky! Another stated "Curiously (though not intolerably) edamame-scented." Seriously? edamame scented lotion? Gross!! Honestly though, I liken it more to cat pee - so edamame may be a more positive description!

When I was at Sephora the other day checking out other face products, the lady introduced me to this product. I think it is such a cool idea!! It's a brush that has mineral powder with SPF in it - all in one!! I did not purchase it, but as the Sephora lady said, it's a great way to add SPF to your favorite moisturizer! Side note: apart from the Aveeno face lotions, it's very hard to find a regular daily moisturizer with SPF! Something to keep in mind, for sure!

OK - on to beer! There are so many great fall beers out there (Samuel Adams Octoberfest, Jack's Pumpkin Spice, Shipyard Pumpkinhead..) but when Mike was home last we picked up two new ones that we hadn't tried before: Sierra Nevada Autumn Tumbler and Ichabod Pumpkin Ale from New Holland Brewing Co. If it weren't for the fun labels we may have gone with a familiar favorite, but I loved the pretty fall landscape and he liked the spoooooky Ichabod! They were both pretty good and unique! I think I preferred Ichabod and Mike liked the Sierra Nevada best. I love all the different components of fall beer - and for me there is enough going on that makes it interesting, without being too dark for my taste. Christmas beer is another story!! :) 

Do you have a favorite fall beer?
