Curél Itch Defense Lotion and Body Wash

                         #CurelSkinCare

    As an Influenster, I get that rush of excitement when I receive a presurvey in my email. I do the presurvey and check my email obsessively over the next week until I recieve the "You're In!" email! It's so much fun and such a rush to be picked to try and test so many wonderful products just for my opinion! If you do not know what Influenster is, check them out at Influenster.com and sign up if you love trying new and upcoming products from all the brands you love or will end up loving.


    So, I got to try the new Curél Itch Defense Instant Soothing and Moisturizing Spray. This is specifically designed for dry, itchy skin. In the fall and winter months, I have the driest skin ever so the opportunity to try this lotion fell in perfect timing! It is accepted by the National Eczema Association as well. It instantly relieves dry, itchy skin with a cooling hydration. It has an advanced ceramide therapy and will help improve skin's natural moisture barrier. Not only does it cool and relieve your itchy skin, it is alllergist tested, has no added fragrances, and is recommended by the best dermatologists on the planet. It's seriously good stuff!

 
    So my first lesson with a spray lotion was, Don't rub it in until you are done spraying it all over. Lol. Greasy hands makes it almost impossible to grip the can and spray elsewhere. After a few times of using this lotion it became a habit to just spray all over then rub in, which is so simple and fast. I have used some Curél products before and personally thought they were on the greasy side. This formula is not greasy at all. After rubbing it in and waiting about 2 minutes, it just felt like soft, smooth skin. It did have a cooling effect which was great just out of a hot shower or on a hot summer day. I personally thought it smelled like lemons, but the citrusy smell was gone after just a few minutes. The most important thing was that it definitely relieved my skin. I was no longer itchy, my skin felt fantastic all day long and I didn't have the "dandruff" skin when rubbing my arms. I will be sticking with this lotion for awhile. It is the first thing in 2 years I have found that works for me.

    Along with the lotion, I also got to try the Curel Itch Defense Body Wash. It was a smaller size product to test but none the less, did not disappoint. It has the same smell as the lotion and was a creamy gel texture. The two together make for the ultimate comfort for any dry skin sufferer. I used both the very first day I recieved them and have not had that great of a nights sleep in 2 years. My favorite part is not feeling like anything was on my skin at all. It was so light and natural feeling. I am truely amazed to finally find something that works!

Crave Naturals Precisio Tweezers

    How many sets of tweezers do you buy in a year? I know i use to buy 3, at least! Between becoming unaligned or dull i had to buy a pair of new tweezers every few months. Until i tried Crave Naturals Precisio Tweezers!! They are a professional grade tweezer for an awesome price! They have a slanted tip for comfort, made of stainless steal and are so comfortable to use. No more charlie horses in your hands while plucking pesky eyebrow hairs. The tips are a perfect size for grabbing splinters and debre from the skin. I was truely amazed at how precise they are while plucking hairs. It makes it so much easier to keep a straight line along the eyebrow. They were great for ingrown hairs as you only had to grab it once! No pulling and tugging making it worse before you finally get that little hair that has caused such BIG pain!

    What i love most about these tweezers are (if you refer to the picture above) they come in a fashionable easy to carry tube case. It's still a great purse size and so much easier to find at the same time. What girl doesn't love zebra stripes right? They also come with a smaller clear tube to help keep them sanitized between uses. Then they have a small rubber tip to go over the tips of the tweezers. This helps keep them aligned and more safe for your fingers while trying to get them out for use. I also posted a closer pucture to give you a good view at just how perfect the tip of the tweezers are.

    These are perfect for first aid kits, beauty needs and pesky ingrown hairs. I haven't found anything that these tweezers DON'T work for! I love these tweezers and i think you will too! Pick up your own pair of Crave Naturals Precisio Tweezers on Amazon. You will never have to buy another pair!

Playtext Sport Fresh Balance Review

  I was very excited to receive these in my Influenster #Vitavoxbox. I am always looking for something new (that works!) To get me through my back to back workout/ yoga class. No woman ever wants to wear a pad while working out , getting in wierd positions and most of all, wearing tight clothes! These were perfect for me! They have a 360° motion protection. One tampon made it through my entire workout/yoga class! I had no leaks or discomfort either! I really like that they are so easy to use and easy to open for when you are in a hurry. I definitely recommend these tampons for sports and other physical hobbies. They will not disappoint you. So go ahead and #PlayOn !

#MullerQuaker yogurt review

  This was a great little add from my Influenster #GoVoxBox! A coupon for a free Muller Greek Yogurt by Quaker. As you can see by the picture i chose tbe regular yogurt flavor with carmelized almonds in the corner. The yogurt was very creamy and had a wonderful pudding texture. The almonds are great to mix in the yogurt or just as a snack on the side. Let me tell you! They are great either way but my favorite way to eat them is as a snack on the side. The almonds pack a great source of protien as well for a great pick me up wether you're at the gym, park or just out shopping with friends. I am so excited i got to try tjis product since it has become my favorite brand and flavor of yogurt.

Packed woth pprotien these are a great on the go snack to keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal. They are absolutely delicious

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen results and review

   As to my previous blog post about Colgate Optic White Toothbrush with Built-In Whitening Pen, I am back today to show you my results and give you my review on the whole system.
 
     Remember my voxbox from Influenster ?

Here is everything that my box contained.
1 Colgate Optic White Toothbrush with built in Whitening Pen
1 Colgate Optic White Toothpaste
6 Coupons to give to my friends

  The first item i want to tell you about is the toothbrush. It has soft specially made polishing bristles with stain removers.  It also has rubber tongue and cheek scrapers on the back and great rubber grips for your thumb and fingers for when your hands are wet. The whole toothbrush overall felt great to use and hold. My teeth definitely felt cleaner than with any other toothbrush

 
    BUT... the best part about this toothbrush.... is the whitening pen! The whitening pen fits right into the bottom of the brush which makes it so much faster to whiten after brushing than having to get a whole other kit out, then wait for the whitening process and rinse. With the Colgate Optic White you can brush, whiten and go! No waiting on processing or rinsing! You just pull it out, twist the end and apply to your teeth with the rubber brush on the end. It's extremely fast and so easy to use anyone can't help but fall in love with it.

  The package states whiter teeth in 2 days and recommends using it 2× a day for best results. I used it the way recommended and was very shocked and pleased at my results in just 2 short days! The best part is, i had no sensitivity from using it. Most whiteners are harsh and make your teeth very sensitive, so this tells me it's safer for my teeth. I honestly did not expect to see such great results. Most i have tried has never yielded such wonderful results.


 My results after using it 2× a day for 2 days

 
  Finally, the toothpaste tasted great! It was a little strong of mint flavor to my preference but left my mouth feeling and tasting so clean most of the day. It had a great creamy texture and wasn't gritty feeling at

                       

  This has been one of my favorite challenges to do because the results exceeded my expectations so much. This is a great whitening system for anyone to use. I love finding products that work so great, it makes my product reviewing so much fun. Of course, telling all of you my experiences and opinions are just as equally fun. I hope you try this system out because i don't think ANYONE would be disapointed!
