Garnier Fructis 1 Minute Hair Mask Avocado Extract Review

Image
I love that this hair mask includes avocado for added benefits for your hair.  Like the coconut mask, I used this mask as a deep conditioning mask wearing it for about an hour.  I received the same results - smooth, shiny, manageable hair; just not an extremely deep condition that my thick hair requires.  From Garnier Fructis' Website: In 1 minute, indulge your hair in a nourishing treat with 98% naturally derived ingredients.* Smoothing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask + Avocado Extract helps you get soft, smooth hair.

Garnier Fructis 1 Minute Hair Mask Coconut Extract Review

Image
This hair mask smells amazing.  I used it for a deep condition and left it on for about an hour.  It left my hair feeling very smooth but I didn't feel like it was a super great deep condition.  However, it is a great product and does condition just not as deep and strong as my hair requires.  From Garnier Fructis' Website: In 1 minute, indulge your hair in a nourishing treat with 98% naturally derived ingredients*. Nourishing Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask + Coconut Extract helps you get soft, smooth & manageable hair.

Apple and Eve Organics

Image
I love this juice. I know the target audience is toddlers but I, a 27 year old mom of two, love the taste and quality of this fruit juice. It tastes so much better than other brands my grocery stores carry. I received this product free from Influenster and i now only purchase Apple and Eve juice for our home.  Even my extremely picky three year old loves this juice and he hardly likes any juice brand.  I received this product for free from Influenster but all opinions are my own.

Pampers Easy Ups Influenster Review

I recieved two packs of Pampers Easy Ups pull ups from Influenster for free for testing purposes. I like them and my son loves them. He loves the Thomas the train designs. He loves that unlike diapers, he can pull them up and pull them off when it's time to use the potty. While potty training can be difficult, using these are a breeze. The sides can be easily ripped in case of an emergency where my son can't pull them down fast enough. They are absorbent enough in case we don't make it to the potty in time. I feel they are fairly priced and work for their purpose. This sample came in at the perfect time as we were getting ready to start potty training. Thanks, Influenster!!

Mumsie Naturals Review

Image
I received a bottle of Mumsie Naturals Daily Facial Moisturizer free from Influenster this month.  My first thought when reading about this voxbox was its not for me. I'm not pregnant or breastfeeding so why do I need this? I was so wrong. It's a facial moisturizer with sunscreen. I need it. I didn't know what I was getting just what brand it was. Every woman needs a facial moisturizer unless you're an alien blessed with perfect skin. The sunscreen is a great bonus since my toddler has me wandering around outside for hours at a time as we discover new and exciting things.  The scent is amazing! It has a hint of citrus and a few other spices I can't pick out. The smell can be overwhelming but slowly becomes un-noticeable to myself.  I do like the way it makes my face feel after it dries.  However, the bottle and box say it has natural ingredients. I could be wrong here but I feel like most of the ingredients are not natural. (Read: long words I can't even begin t

Zzzquil Vox Box

I was selected to participate in the Zzzquil Vox box this month. This is not my first time trying Zzzquil and I doubt it will be my last.  First things first, Zzzquil is not a pain reliever such as Advil pm. It will help you fall asleep quickly (20 minutes or so in) and help you sleep all night. It is recommended to take at a time that will allow you to sleep for 7-8 hours. I this non habit forming.  Zzzquil does help me fall asleep fast and it does help me sleep all night. However, I usually wake up very grogy. This is due to the very odd dreams I have when I use it. They are very vivid and only happen when I take this pill. I'm not sure if everyone has this effect or just a few people like me.  I recieved this product free from Influenster and all opinions are my own.

#VividMatte VoxBox

Image
This month I received two shades of Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid. The two colors I received were Rebel Red and Nude Flush. The red is great for a night out and gives a great color pop for your lips. The nude is a more subtle color close to my natural lip color but still enough of a color to show that I'm wearing lipstick.  The colors of this product are very pigmented. They're definitely true to what's in the bottle. The gloss goes on very smooth and has a lovely non lipstick scent to it. However, I wouldn't call this a true matte, even when blotting it with a tissue as recommended  it's not very matte. It's more of a semi-gloss and I'm a fan of a more matte finish. However, I really liked the product, the price point ($7-$10 depending on store), and the colors.  I received these products for free from Influenster for testing purposes but all opinions are my own.
