Photography - Sometimes I Love It, Sometimes I Hate It!

I tried for two days to take pictures of my solid lotion....ugh! Nothing I did worked and all the pictures were too bright and I couldn't figure out how to take the glare off of the container. They were already wrapped, and I was too stubborn to unwrap them for the pictures. Guess who won this battle??
This picture was taken after I took the covers off (I lost). The pictures turned out much better, but I still want to tweak them.
I need to lift the containers up a little so you can see the label. I usually love taking pictures, but these were a struggle.
