Well its a tie! I work with paper all day plus I wash my hands often and my hands and cuticles are shredded right now. I’m thinking the hand repair balm and the intense cuticle repair balm are right up my alley!

I would love to use the foot cream first lol, I hate shoes and love walking barefoot everywhere and I keep my feet as nice as I can but they could always be better! 🙂

the foot, hand, or lip repair balm first. most likely hand though, as recently my cuticles are awful. you’d think that i’d want to use the cuticle cream, but i noticed that regular hand cream (as long as I use it after i wash hands) is plenty for my awful cuticles, and it’s not as annoying (not as greasy as hand creams usually are designed to absorb faster, whereas cuticle creams are usually creamier and more intense for intense fixing).

I would def use the cuticle repair balm 1st. We’ve had a few days of rain & cold where I live & my cuticles are showing it 🙁

I would use the Lip Repair first, since i live on the east coast the weather is starting to cool down. So i have to make sure my lips stay hydrated!

I would definitely use the Lip Repair Balm first because I’m so crazy about chapsticks, moisturizers, anything for my lips. I can’t live without something on. 🙂

I would use the Foot and Cuticle ones first. There are two things I need to work on. I’ve been painting my nails lately and my cuticles need some tlc.

I own and absolutely love Qtica’s lip balm. It’s the only one that stays on my lips through eating, and lip biting (I’m trying to stop). So I will probably try the cuticle repair balm first, since I don’t own it.

I think I’d use the Hand Repair Balm first. Since it’s getting a bit colder, my hands are getting extremely dry. I hope this product will help 🙂

i’m torn between the intense cuticle repair balm and the intense lip repair balm! i tend to have dry and cracked cuticles but i don’t care much for nails (even though i am starting to more because i’m getting into nail art). my lips have been drying even though i do use balm/chapsticks. i’d probably go with the lips first just because the face is what draws the first attention!

definitely the cuticle repair balm… i’ve never had a manicure done cuz i always do my own nails… and i definitely need to fix my cuticles up!

I would use the Qtica’s Foot Repair Balm first, because when I got into bed last night, my feet sounded like rasps or sandpaper being dragged across our yummy silk sheets…..icky!!!

Since I’d probably tear the package open when I got it, the lip balm would be the most likely to get sampled first, followed quickly by the cuticle and hand balms. 🙂

Definitely the Foot Repair Balm. In the winter my feet are nice and soft because I use a good foot cream before I put my socks on every morning and night. But in the summer, it’s sandles all the way and I rarely ever put on foot cream. So my heels tend to be a little rough.

The first thing I would try is the foot repair balm, because just a couple of weeks of wearing socks more often has already made my feet a tad gnarly.

I would definitely use the cuticle repair balm first! My cuticles are getting really messed up from dishes and not being able to moisturize right after!

I would use the lip repair balm first- I’m having a hard time finding something that works and it’s so important to keep lips smooth this time of year so I can wear all those sultry shades of fall lip colors you keep showing us!

I would definitely use the Hand Repair Balm first. My hands get super dry at work from typing and touching paper all day everyday. I wash my hands a lot within one day which makes them become drier everytime I wash. I always have to reapply my hand lotion numeous times throughout the day

I would definately use the foot repair cream first as my heals are in awful shape and what i am using right now is not doing much. Thx C.

Definitely the cuticle balm. That is my HG cuticle cream. NOTHING is better. Nothing. The lip balm is fabulous too. Qtica is a fabulous line. Too bad it is sooo hard to find where I live. Impossible actually. Online only.

Lip balm first, definitely! PS If I were to ever one day win one of these, lol, what email address would it be from? My spam blocker is kind of a tard when it comes to new correspondence.

I would definitely use the Foot Repair Balm first. Lately, my feet have been extremely dry and ashy and they just really need some intense moisture. Thanks for the opportunity!

Foot Repair Balm! my feet are insanely crackly and even though i take a dip in a hot bath every other day and scrub them and pamper with lotion, once i stop doing it for a day or two the crackiness comes back again in full force.

I’d use the cuticle repair balm first! I used to pick at my nails out of habit, and i’ve recently stopped so i think that product would do wonders!

I’d definitely use the foot repair first. While my feet have improved a lot lately, I always feel something more can be done to make them “pretty”.

I would definitely jump on the intense cuticle repair balm first. Work’s been extra stressful and the extra nervous energy goes (unfortunately) right into shredding my cuticles.

Alexandra Avatar
Alexandra

hard to tell which one to use first, why not just use them all at the same time 😉 id probably go with either the hand or foot repair balm first because my hand and feet tend to equally get dry!

Intense cuticle repair balm! My cuticles are a bit dried out after having so much fun with my new MAC Venomous Villains nail polishes.

Sarah Avatar

ha…after a summer spent in flip flops because i was massively pregnant i would use the foot repairing lotion first, then the lip repair for my chronically chapped lips

I think I’d use Intense Cuticle Repair Balm first. I just started a new job last week, and with all the mail I have to open daily, my hands look like I’ve been working construction instead of clerical! lol

Definatly the hand repair balm, it gets cold and dry up here in Ontario, Canada and my hands are already getting less than smooth. So want to correct that before it’s too late!

I would use the Hand Repair Balm first since my hands are so dry and cracked from frequent hand-washing (damn those allergies!) + sun damage! And also thanks for this awesome contest!!

I would definitely use the Intense Lip Repair Balm first. It’s getting colder and my lips are getting dried, especially flaky skin on my lips!
