Garnier Skin Active Clearly Brighter

 
These products were sent to me free of charge for my honest reviews. I received them from Smiley360 and brand partner Garnier.

Overall, I think this is an awesome trio to use daily because we all need to use some sort of spf and the Clearly Brighter Anti-Sun Damage daily moisturizer has spf 30. It has Vitamin C and LHA or ( β-lipohydroxy acid ). This particular ingredient decreases the concentration of bacteria found within the pore and is similar in nature to salicylic acid. Very moisturizing and gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn't smell like a coconut. It has a light and clean scent.



 
 
 
 
The Clearly Brighter Anti-Puff Eye Roller has Vitamin C and Caffeine and helps de-puff and reduce the look of under-eye bags. I love this little thing. It is so refreshing and cooling. I use it throughout the day when I'm not wearing makeup.




The Clearly Brighter Dark Spot Corrector is a fast absorbing, non-sticky formula & is designed with
a unique complex of Antioxidant Vitamin C & E, Pine Bark Essence and gentle exfoliating Lipo-Hydroxyl Acid (LHA). At first it made my face burn and turn a little red but I know that just means it's working. If you have sensitive skin, start out only using it every other night then work up to every night. It smells clean and fresh and even feels moisturizing on my skin. I just wake up and wash it off and use my daily moisturizer and roller ball.

I would recommend giving these products a try.

Pure Protein

 I received 2 bags of Pure Protein® Crunch Peanut Butter snacks and 2 bags of Pure Protein® Crunch Double Chocolate snacks. Also a 1.50 off coupon. I have to say these are amazingly good. I'm being serious, especially the peanut butter, by far my favorite because they actually taste like peanut butter and not dirt or wood. They are light, airy and crispy. The chocolate tastes like crispy chocolate cereal. I recommend giving these a try. They only have 5g of sugar. They have 10g of protein and only 150 calories. These bags are jam packed full of little bits and are great for on the go lifestyles.

Loreal Advanced Extraordinary Oil system

I've been using these products for a couple of days now and let me say that this is a wonderful product line. You would think that OK shampoo and conditioner and serum, their all the same. Well guess what. This seems different to me. The shampoo and conditioner feel like silk in the shower. Leave the conditioner on while you finish your shower and then use a shower comb to help rinse it out. You won't have any tangles. At least I didn't. The serum won't leave a sticky mess on your hair or your hands. You don't even have to wash your hands afterward.
Here, I used the serum before I dried it and used a scrunching motion the whole time. The lighting was little different and made it look like I also colored it but no I didn't. It did however bring it up a bit and make it look moisturized. Just to mention, I also have used it after it has dried. Not sure which was is my favorite but they both work just as well as the other.

Vitafusion gummy vitamins

     Smiley360 and Vitafusion brand partner have sent me three different types of gummy vitamins to test and review for free for my honest opinion. One is called Beauty Sleep and this bottle has 90 gummies and contains enough to last for 45 days. This one tastes and smells delicious like cherries. It has 3mg of Melatonin, which is one of my go-to sleep aids & 100% vitamin D.

 
     This next one is called Relaxed Mood and it is supposed to promote calm and relaxation and contains 200mg of L-Theanine, plus 1.5mg of Zinc. The bottle contains 90 gummies and is enough to last for 45 days. This one doesn't smell all that great. It says tropical flavor but it doesn't really smell like it. It could be an exotic fruit but I don't recognize it.


     The last one I received is Gorgeous Hair, Skin & Nails. It contains 100 gummies and will last 33 days. It has a large list of vitamins and minerals including of course Biotin at 5000mcg. I think this one smells gross and it is supposed to taste like raspberries. It sure doesn't smell like it.
     Overall I like the idea of gummy vitamins for those of us that have a hard time trying to down nasty pills that taste and smell like dirt or are too bulky to swallow. I stopped taking vitamins because I just can't take the taste and bulkiness of them. I love the size, amount and colorful product line vitafusion has created here. This will definitely be a delightful mission that I will be proud to take the time and energy to give my opinion on. Thank you to Smiley360 and brand partner Vitafusion.

Garnier Olia

Garnier Olia hair color in medium brown 5.0 looks so much better with my skin tone. I received this complimentary from Crowdtap to test and review for free.  
http://www.garnierusa.com/
This is a beautiful color and best of all it has 60% oil and no ammonia. Natural flower oils for radiant, hydrated silky and 3X shinier hair and 100% gray coverage. I am not a paid spokesperson for Crowdtap or Garnier, this is just my opinion. I had good luck with this product and maybe you can to.

Amope Pedi perfect wet & dry

RECHARGEABLE foot file

 
 
     I just received my Amope pedi rechargeable foot file in the mail from Crowdtap. I love Crowdtap because they actually send you real products to test for free. As long as you send your feedback to them, you will be able to continue to apply to receive free products.
     I was able to go ahead and use my Amope pedi foot file because it was fully charged when it arrived today. The grit is not too harsh and not too fine. I got in the shower and after I was finished doing everything from washing my hair and body I turned on the Amope pedi foot file and it has two settings and I chose the low setting because I am not familiar with this product. A little nervous at first because it is sand paper on skin. It did not hurt in the least bit. It will take a few times to get the hang of it because I really don't know how firm to press yet. I ran it right under the shower on my heels and on the side of my big toes. It took off some of the dead skin. I stopped before I did too much at once.
     This is just the first time I used it but am looking forward to summer time when sandals and flip flops are my go-to footwear.
 

Happy "pedi" feet everyone

     Silk,n Flash & Go laser hair removal system.

     First of all, I would like to thank @influenster for giving me the opportunity to review and test this awesome product for free. The #Silknsmooth laser hair removal system is the product I will be talking about, but first I want to tell you all about this site, www.influenster.com. These are the wonderful people that have given me this said opportunity. It's a real site. All you have to do is sign up, answer questions about who you are and what you like and they try to match you with products that they think will be a good fit for you to test out. You also have to be on twitter, instagram, facebook, you know, social media. This is because they want you to be able to review to the public. I wasn't sure about it at first because you really have to put yourself out there but hey everyone else is why not me. Anyway, on to the good stuff.



       When I first received this, I was skeptical of course. I could'nt figure out how to use it first of all and then when I finally figured it out I could'nt get it to flash. Ok, Ok, then I read the directions. I also went online and found a site that taught me how to use it properly. First of all, it depends on how bright the lighting is if the gadget will flash or not. My bathroom light is too bright. So I went to another room and finally, flash, it works. First round, done. Took maybe ten minutes for my legs, thirty seconds for underarms and five seconds for my lip and chin, and awaiting the second round.

     Second verse, same as the first. On the lip, it does get hot. Only because this skin is more sensitive and thinner. I like staying on 2 or 3 setting for now for underarms and lip and chin and already on level 5 for legs because this skin is tougher. Onto the third round.
    
     Third round, getting quicker and easier, becoming a pro at this. I'm keeping the setting for my lip and chin and underarms on 3 for now and 5 for my legs. I think I'll stick with these settings for a couple more rounds. Just to mention, it only goes to setting 5. You can either push the flash button everytime you place it on your skin or you can hold down the flash button and just glide the machine over your skin until you have covered the area intended. 
    
     Fourth round, noticing the hair is growing back but it is sparce. It definitely is going to take 6 or 8 more rounds at least. I really notice a difference on my face though, even with level 3. Gonna step it up to level 4 next time.
    
      Round five, still working on it. Hair is still growing back but still getting sparce looking. I can definitely see how people can spend a fortune at a spa having this done. It takes time but by round maybe 7 or 8 I bet I won't be so negative.
    
      Ok, 8th round on my legs and a week later, HAIR FREE. Still working on my underarms. I don't know what it is about underarm hair maybe the heat or moistness but I cannot get it to stop growing. I'll keep working on it.  

      Ok, finally after 10 sessions, my armpits are have been hair free for 5 days. Can you imagine how much that would have cost in a salon?
