COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSHEER™ SUNSCREEN

received this product complimentary from BzzAgent for testing purposes.

Summer is upon us! Today, in Oregon-where I am from, is supposed to get to 100 degrees!!! Now to some that may be nothing but to us Oregonians that's inferno hahaha, we are used to the rain and clouds. Luckily I'll have my Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen For Sunny Days in handy. This product is super lightweight, I put some all over my body and it felt like I didn't put any on unlike others that feel cakey. It smells great and is super absorbent. It took a few seconds to fully absorb into my skin and it left me feeling soft all over. It is water resistant for about 80 minutes, I wish longer but I don’t mind putting it back on. It is broad spectrum SPF 30 which I love and only cost about $9.00 and totally worth it. Tip: make sure you shake well before use.

Quickly before I go the only con I found with this is that if you get super hot the product gets super greasy and rubs off kind of white on clothes.

Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths

****Received this product complimentary for testing purpose from Influenster****

I've heard if Cetaphil before but I never used their products. Why? To be honest, I don't know but I was excited when I opened up my VivaVoxBox and saw Cetaphil cleansing cloths. There are 25 pre-moistened towelettes  and are supposed to be great for sensitive skin. Well what do you know, I am one of those people with sensitive skin. If you have read my other post you will  notice I mention it a lot haha. Anyways, the towelettes are thick, unlike competitors brand where they are really flimsy. These towelettes are sturdy and are prepared for a very dirty face lol, simply, they are great quality. They are super soft on the skin and remove all makeup with one cloth. Unless you wear clown make up THEN you might want to use a few more. The only problem I encountered was that they were a little dry. Now, I don't know if it was just my pack or that's how they come  but I will be buying another pack to see. I suggest you do the same :)

Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off

**** I received this product free for testing purposes from Influenster ****

Let me start off by saying that I love that this company is animal cruelty free!

I'm not much of a face mask person but thought I'd try it out. It wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be as its a honey peel so I was for sure thinking I was going to have a bad experience but to my surprise it was very smooth.  It smelled just like honey too. The steps to applying are simple; clean your face, apply mask, relax 15-20 minutes and peel. At first I thought I did it wrong, even with these simple instruction, as it did not feel like anything was hardening  and there wasn't much color on my face it had more of a transparent look to it. My thoughts... "great, only I would mess up something so simple." I waited 20 minutes and rubbed a little on the side and slowly peeled. It worked!
My face felt soooo smooth and it even cleaned my pores. The only problem I had was that I got some on my eyebrows and when I peeled it pulled hair and hurt a little but that's about it... other than that I had no problems with this product. I cant wait to try all the other peels this company has to offer

Pampers Swaddlers Diapers

**** I received this product FREE from Crowdtap for testing purposes****

So, when my daughter was a newborn she  left the hospital wearing Pampers Swaddlers in NB size and she, obviously, grew and grew until she no longer fit into Swaddlers. At that time Swaddlers were only in sized P, NB,1,2,3. I was kind of sad, Swaddlers were great for her and when she no longer could fit in them I switched to LUV's. Yes, I know they have Pampers Cruisers but they didn't have the fit I was looking for. Well recently I heard about Pampers making their Swaddlers size in bigger sizes (4,5), I was excited. I was lucky enough to  have the opportunity to try them for free!

Pampers Swaddlers were a perfect fit on my daughter just like they were coming home from the hospital. They were super soft and super absorbent. They have a 12 hours of overnight protection and a blue line will appear to indicate wetness. My daughter especially loved that all her favorite Sesame Street characters were designs on the diapers.

    Here are some of the new features:

• Now available in sizes 4 and 5, our latest Swaddlers product now delivers everything you love and trust about this #1 diaper choice of hospitals* for your growing child.  Now these larger diapers have the same mesh absorb away liner and wetness indicator you have come to know and love on Swaddlers small sizes.
• Swaddlers (Sizes newborn through 3) now have an elongated absorbent layer providing your baby with protection for up to 20% more BMs. In fact, this layer has been elongated in the back of the diaper especially to help provide absorbency for more runny bowel movements of younger babies.  It’s the exact same absorbent layer material you are used to on Swaddlers, just a little more of it in the right place.
• Umbilical notch in sizes 1 and 2. Sometimes when bigger babies are born, they bypass newborn sizes and may fit into size 1 or 2 diapers. In an effort to care for these babies, Pampers added the same umbilical notch on our newborn size to our size 1 and 2 Swaddlers to provide a more comfortable fit for the healing umbilical cord and those rounded baby bellies.

It’s important to know that Pampers have not changed any of the raw materials or ingredients they use on their  diapers.  They are the same safe and thoroughly-tested materials they have been using on Swaddlers for many years.

Quick review of E.L.F eyelid primer

PROS: Cheap!

CONS: Very little product.

QUICK TIPS: Buy often

I have been using E.L.F eyelid primer for over a year and have enjoyed it. I really love how cheap it is, only $1!! It last for up to 6 hours which is great for date night, it really keep my eye shadow in place. The only problem I have with it is that there is not much product in the container. It seems like a lot but it really isn't but I guess that's what you get for a dollar aye. Another thing was that if you don't use it within the month you should probably throw it out, in my experience it starts to clump up after a month. I tried saving money and stopped using it less often so it would last, mistake, it dries out and clumps up. I still gave it an A as this has been the only primer that has lasted longer than most I would just recommend buying 2 at a time and using it within the month.
