There are many things I can live without, I will leave the house with no make up on, my hair is not always done but I always have a nice bag AND I always have a perfect pedicure. Nothing says “I’m unkempt” louder than gross feet. I would rather stay home than be seen with dried cuticles and chipped nail polish! But that would never happen because I get a pedicure once a week without fail (I even went in days before I had my last baby, my husband practically carried me in and out of there but I HAD to make sure my feet looked nice for the hospital!). So because of my obsession I am always willing to try anything that claims to give me nicer feet, like this line of new products from Lamisilk. I was really excited to find affordable drugstore products that can do what my $68 salon pedicure does (I only do the special spa pedicure once a month, the rest of the time I get the quick 30 minutes fix). The Exfoliating Scrub, $5.94 was of particular interest to me because I love to exfoliate so I was really disappointed to find that it was watery and not rough enough. I mean, we’re talking feet here that takes a pretty good beating everyday so why spare it with sparse soft granules? It needs to be more substantial, very close to a harsh scrub, to make it do something. And because it’s watery, it just runs off before it has a chance to do anything. But it does clean the feet on a daily basis better than just soap and water so for the price it’s not bad for that. As for the Daily Hydrating Cream, $8.99, it doesn’t do any more than whatever lotion you have lying around. Same for the Overnight Moisture Seal, $8.99. I still prefer my secret weapon against dry feet, Lanolin, for an overnight feet-lift. But if you don’t get regular pedicures and need something to get your feet in to shape for the summer, these products are certainly better than not using anything and they are very reasonably priced. You can even get a $4 coupon from the manufacturer.
