Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid!

It's that time again! I'm here with my fourth and final review of an item I received in a recent VoxBox! As usual,  I’m part of the Influenster group where you get a chance to receive VoxBoxes that contain products that you get to try out and review. I recently was chosen to be apart of the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and inside of it I received the Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid contour power cleansing brush!

005This is the kit I got in my box! :) It comes with the contour cleansing brush, and a little sample tube of Shine-Shine Go Away! I've saved the best product for last because I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this cleanser/cream. Everything about it is fantastic. I've been wanting this for EVER (well...since I saw the commercials/ads for it). I had it on my "to buy" list, but just didn't have the money to get it. I then got accepted into the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and almost had a heart attack when I saw I was getting this in it! I was so so so so so happy! :) Now, I have very oily/shiny skin and HUGE pores, so I was hoping that this could possibly take care of both problems, and it has so far!

007This is the brush, and boy is this thing TINY! I was expecting a bigger brush, but this is smaller than the palm of my hand. Granted, I have big hands, but still. No matter what the size, it stills packs a POWERFUL cleanse. I was very shocked by the amount of vibration that this little brush gave off. It's much more powerful than the Neutrogena Wave that I had tried before (that claimed to do the exact same things as this), and this only runs off of 1 AAA battery! It's like a mini earthquake for your face, but instead of causing problems, it breaks the gunk out and allows your skin to be normal again! The bristles are rubber, and I feel that it gets deeper into my face than something with nylon bristles. I also think this will help keep the brush longer as they won't flare out and get flat. The card that we received in our box says the Contour brush is:

"A vibrating, tri-tip facial cleansing brush that packs some punch! This battery-powered device reaches deep into contours, liberating skin from dirt, oil and makeup in hard-to-reach places for a clean that is 400% better than basic cleansing."

The triangle tip on the brush really does help you get into "hard-to-reach" places. It's PERFECT for getting the creases of your nose, around your eyebrows, and above your upper lip. It's so much better than those circular cleansing brushes that are only good for a big area of your face. It's also awesome for getting near your ear lobe, because when I clean with this system, I go hard and get every spot from my neck up!

I like that this brush is easy to use, can be used in the shower (just not submerged in water) and is compact! It's easy to store for traveling, which I tend to go to my grandparents house every weekend to spend time with them, and taking it is a breeze. One extremely minor thing is that the "Olay" name label has wiped off of my brush...which stinks, but of course it doesn't affect the product, so it's not a big deal.

008This cleanser, Shine, Shine Go Away! is AWESOME! First off...the color is freakin' metallic silver! Like what?! That's ridiculously cool, I've never seen a color like that. I'm a nerd, and it reminds me of Bender from Futurama...why? I have no idea.

In the Va-Va-Vivid kit, you receive a small trial tube of this cleanser which is 0.68 FL OZ. as you can see in the picture. The awesome part is, is that you only need a pea sized amount on your brush in order to start cleaning your face, so this trial sized tube has lasted me almost two weeks and still going. Now I really find that this cleanser has dramatically reduced the size of my pores, as I have huge pores which have resulted in plenty of blackheads on my nose because they become clogged up, or however the science of pores and acne work. I know they will not completely diminish within two weeks, but by continuing to use this product, I sure hope they go away nicely.  The card reads:

"All the purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser. This face wash gently lathers and reaches deep into skin to help reduce the appearance of pores."

One thing that I really like in a cleanser is the lather. If one doesn't lather enough, to me it doesn't feel that it's working all that great. This one is like taking cream, putting it on your face, and having it turn into pure foam, and I love it! I love the feeling that it gives me when I have a freshly clean face. Nothing works better than this cleanser and the brush together, and I'm looking forward to purchasing more of it. Of course, you can use the brush with any cleanser, but I'm really loving this one.
006

Overall I feel that Olay has yet again impressed me big time.  I feel anyone with larger pores, acne, or even girls who wear makeup everyday, needs a product to clean the gunk out and make everything smooth. The cost of this product, although I received it for free, is well worth it x10. This kit retails for $12.99 (a steal!) and can be found at mass retailers (Target, Walmart ect.) and drugstores. This can also be purchased on Amazon.com.

Big thank you to Influenster and Olay for bringing me this AWESOME product to test and review!

Zoya Pixie Dust Collection Spring 2013 Swatches & Review!

A few weeks ago, I received the new Pixie Dust collection from Zoya! I was so happy to get this in the mail, and quickly began to swatch them. I however got side tracked with being sick, going places without my computer, and also birthdays/spending time with family. So here we are, a few weeks later, ready to get into the post! Better late than never, right? Right.

So for those who DON'T know, Zoya came out with a NEW line of polish called Pixie Dust! This polish is a matte, glitter based polish that dries textured, like sand. They're similar to OPI's new polish Liquid Sand that were introduced in the Mariah Carey collection. If you google OPI's polish, and compare them, you can see the differences. From Zoya's website:

"Infused with magic and wonder! The latest "must-have" nail polish finish - textured, matte and sparkling! This newly developed formula is sure to captivate with a magical sparkle and sugary finish like no other. The color experts at Zoya have created six, long-wearing stunners for the introduction of this enchanting look."

001Here are the beautiful colors. From left to right- Godiva, Dahlia, Chyna, Vespa, London, Nyx.

The first color I have for you today is Godiva:

GODIVAThis is a beautiful beige color, very neutral. The way that the polish dries, makes it perfect for a sand design on your nails (can not WAIT for the summer!). Zoya describes it as a "Soft nude with a sugared sparkle".

021This color is very thin/sheer in it's first coat. It becomes opaque within 2 coats, but I would wear 3 because you can still see my nail line in certain light. This picture (and all of the swatches) have no top coat on the first two nails, and you can see the "sugared sparkle" that Zoya describes. The last two fingers have 1 coat of NYC Extra Shine top coat. I personally think it looks BEAUTIFUL with the top coat, but also like it without it.

022This color's texture isn't really bothersome, and I really like the formula. It dries super quick, and it's very easy to remove. Being a textured polish, I figured it would have been hard to remove, but this color was quite easy. I didn't have a good time removing it with some of the other colors unfortunately.

Next is Dahlia:

DAHLIAThis a gorgeous true black color with some silver glitter/sparkle in it. I love this, and it reminds me a lot of Blaze from their 2012 Christmas Collection "Ornate". Zoya describes it as a "black beauty with a sugared sparkle".

001This polish goes on extremely perfect. It's smooth and glides right on your nails. This polish isn't thin or sheer, and is fully opaque in 2 coats. The first 2 nails are without top coat, as you can see the "sugared" effect again, the last two fingers have 1 coat of NYC top coat. This is another color that looks GORGEOUS with top coat! I love that these polishes are versatile and can be worn with or without top coat, and both styles yield a different look completely.

002This picture shows the sugar effect perfectly :) Dahlia's texture was mildly bothersome to me, but not enough to make me want to take it off. The color's formula for me seemed a little thick, but did not affect the polish. It's a super quick drying polish, and removes very easily for a textured/dark polish.

The next color is Chyna:

CHYNA

This is a beautiful-ish (see below) ruby red with some beautiful gold glitter. Zoya describes it as a "red dazzle with sugared sparkle".  I'm very mixed about this color as you will read below.

023For me, this color irritated the ever living piss out of me. Everything about it just irked me. It goes on smooth, is opaque in just one coat (I did 2 for the pics though), but without the top coat, this polish turned me off SO bad! I thought that it came off as just a matted glitter, which I know is basically what it is, but it's different than the others. It doesn't have that "sugared" effect that Zoya claims on this one. I have a polish from L.A. Colors called Red Glitter, and it's EXACTLY like this when it dries (minus the overbearingly annoying texture). I personally think it looks so ugly without a top coat, and the texture of the polish drives me CRAZY! This one has to be the worst of them all, it makes me cringe even thinking about it. The only way I would wear this is if I had the top coat over it (in which it's gorgeous and not bothersome, and it's the last two fingers in this picture of course).

024I really enjoy the polish with the top coat on. The formula was thick, and seemed different than the others. It removed TERRIBLY and stained my fingers, which was quite annoying. It took so long just to remove the polish, I had to stop halfway through and take a break be cause my fingers and hands were sore.

Now we have Vespa:

VESPAVespa is a gorgeous mint green color, and for anyone who knows me, they know I'm in LOVE  with mint green. This a little on the dirty side of mint, rather than the mint green polishes we see today, but it's still gorgeous nonetheless. Zoya, of course, describes it as a "Mint kiss with a sugared sparkle". How good does that sound? Mint...sugar...sparkle...delicious.

029This gorgeous polish goes on very smoothly! The formula is perfect, but it's still sheer with the first coat. I did two for the picture, and would probably do three when I wore it out. This is the only color that I like without a top coat. I find that putting the top coat on it really dulls the color, and makes it dark and dingy almost. I love how you can see the severe color difference in this picture.

030Vespa's texture didn't really bother me. I wore this the longest (seeings as it was the last I swatched) but I also wore it the longest because I could deal with the texture. Once again, this is a VERY quick drying polish, and removes very easily.

Another polish is London:

LONDON

London is a beautiful concrete gray shade with gorgeous silver shimmer. Zoya describes it as a "fog gray with a sugared sparkle". To be honest, I'm not quite sure how they got "fog" gray...I always thought fog was grayish white...

003

London is a beautiful color that goes on SUPER smooth! It's a glider, and is sheer with the first coat. This color definitely needs 2 coats or more to become fully opaque. With the top coat on, it makes it almost like a grayish green color, almost like a darker version of Plankton from Spongebob.

004The formula for this polish is very thin. As I said before, it did go on super smoothly though, which is good for a thin polish. The texture wasn't that annoying, but it did still bother me a little. Quick drying, and it had a somewhat easy removal. It was hard to get through to the actual nail, but once I did it came off a little easier.

The last polish I have for you today is Nyx:

NYX

Nyx is a GORGEOUS, absolutely GORGEOUS grayish blue color. It reminds me of periwinkle as well, which is one of my favorite colors. And how ironic...I'm looking at what Zoya describes it as, and they describe it as a "perfect periwinkle with a sugared sparkle". How nice :) I love it!

011Once agan, this polish goes on perfectly, it wasn't hard to spread across the nail at all. One of the downfalls of this polish is that it's very sheer. I needed 3 coats to take the picture because my nail line kept showing through. I think it's gorgeous both with and without topcoat.

012

Nyx's formula is very thin. The texture for this polish really wasn't overbearing, I was able to paint them, go to sleep, and not wake up in the middle of the night trying to figure out ways I could stop my nails from rubbing up against my clothing and blankets like I had to do with Chyna.

Overall, I really tried to like this collection, I really did. I think the look is fantastic, I think it's unique and ingenious, but the texture ruins it for me. I'm very sensitive to touch, and just the thought of these polishes rubbing up against my clothing gives me goosebumps. Some of the colors, like Godiva and Vespa are ones I could find myself wearing more than Chyna. I most likely will end up putting that in a give away pile, wearing it only with a top coat or giving it to a friend. I find that the texture of these are way too crazy for the first couple days, but I either have gotten used to them after that, or the texture dies down from wear and tear because they become more bearable. I know I will wear these most certainly with the top coats on, not only do I love the look, but it keeps me from getting goosebumps all the time :)

*I was sent these polishes for review purposes*

Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bars; Coco-Nut W/ Peanut Butter

I'm back with the third installment of what I got in my Sweet-Heart VoxBox! The fourth and final post for this box will be up in a little while. As always, I’m part of the Influenster group where you get a chance to receive VoxBoxes that contain products that you get to try out and review. I recently was chosen to be apart of the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and inside of it I received Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go Bar in Coco-Nut with Peanut Butter!

003This is the bar I received. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have...because I was too stupid to take a picture of what the bar actually looked like, because I scoffed it down almost immediately. I have to say...the bar was delicious! I'm a huge "bar" person, I love granola bars, breakfast bars, fruit bars, anything! They're perfect for On-The-Go (as the name suggests), snacks, breakfast, or just because you want to eat something. According to the card that I received in my VoxBox:

"With only 180 calories per bar, you can enjoy Skinnygirl Daily On-The-Go bars guilt-free. The bars are natural, kosher, and high in fiber. All bars now have MORE protein & MORE fiber, LESS sugar & FEWER carbs! These bars are the perfect indulgent treat for individuals looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle."

This bar, like I said, is delicious. The flavor is perfect, I could taste the Coconut and the peanut butter, and the combo tasted awesome. Another thing I liked about the bar was that it had bits of almonds in it, which gave it a nice crunch. I let my mom try the bar as well, and she said she couldn't really taste the peanut butter. Although I feel that this bar is delicious, I don't think I would eat it for the "180 calories" or even buy it at the price it's going for. It's a suggested retail value of $9.99 for a box of 5 bars, and to me, that's very expensive. I'd rather stick to my Quaker Oats granola bars.

Big thanks to Influenster and Skinnygirl for the product! :)

Not Your Mother's® Beach Babe™ Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!

Okay, this will sound very familiar, but for those who have never read by blog before,  I’m part of the Influenster group where you get a chance to receive VoxBoxes that contain products that you get to try out and review. I recently was chosen to be apart of the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and inside of it I received Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!

004This stuff is FANTASTIC! I love it so much! I've always been a huge fan of the "beach bum" look. You know, the surfers who have the shaggy hair, and the awesome waves with natural highlights from the sun? Ugh, I love the look, and I love that they sell products now to achieve it when you're not able to go and get your beach on.

On the card that comes with the VoxBoxes, it says:

"Rock a sexy beach look even on those days you're not at the beach! Infused with Dead Sea salt and sea kelp, Beach Babe helps create voluminous texturized and wind-swept waves."

And boy does it ever. This product not only smells amazing (literally like you're at the beach. I get a suntan lotion/beach water scent from it, and it makes me the happiest person ever), but it works really good as well! To use it, all you do is spritz it onto clean, damp or dry hair and comb through it with either your comb or fingers. It dries into a matte-like finish, and it makes your hair wavy like you just came from the beach. I already have natural waves, but this enhances it so much and doesn't make it look like I didn't brush my hair, it's uniformly perfect without trying too hard.

I have a picture of my hair with this product in it, but it's on my iPod, so I will update this post with the picture when it's on my laptop.

I received a 2 fl. oz sample, and the full sized product is 8 fl. oz, and this has lasted me a while, even while using it almost every day. I still have more than half a bottle left. This product retails for $6.00 and can be bought at CVS, Target, Walmart, ect. It's good that a high end product can be found in mass merchandise stores! :)

A big thank you to Influenster and Not Your Mother's Brand!

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response!

As I started off my first blog post about my first product I received in my first VoxBox (yes...that's a lot of firsts!), I’m part of the Influenster group where you get a chance to receive VoxBoxes that contain products that you get to try out and review. I recently was chosen to be apart of the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and inside of it I received Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response deodorant!

009This deodorant is awesome! It's a special antiperspirant/deodorant that was made exclusively for stress sweat! As written on the information card that came in our boxes:

"Did you know there are three causes of sweat- heat, movement and stress? Stress sweat comes from a different gland, so it actually smells the worst. Secret Clinical strength Stress Response in Serene Citrus (what a mouth full) is uniquely formulated to protect you from all three causes of sweat, especially stress sweat. It's proven 4x more effective at protecting against stress-induced underarm wetness than the wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant."

011

Now, I'm not going to lie. I've always been one to have to use both antiperspirant AND deodorant (since I was literally 9 or 10) because being an active kid, and hitting puberty pretty early, I began to sweat and stink terribly bad! But some deodorants I have used in the past, don't cover up the smell, and it's extremely embarrassing, especially when you already plastered deodorant on and it just didn't work! So a few years ago, I was sent a sample of the Secret Clinical Strength deodorant (now, I'm not sure if it's when it first came out, or was first re-introduced, but it was a "new" product) and I was SO in love with it! I've never had something stop both the sweat and the smell as good as that had, but the problem was that I couldn't afford to pay $12 a month for just a deodorant, so I had to stick with the basics, switching between Secret, Degree, and Lady Stick.

I was overly excited when I received this in my box! I literally gasped! I was so happy to see that I would be able to, again, live without the wetness and stench. This deodorant is AWESOME! I never knew that there were different causes (or smells) of sweat until I got this product and looked into it! How neat/gross is that?! Anyways, as I was saying, this deodorant works JUST as well as the original Clinical Strength, but you have more protection than before! The smell is delicious, it makes me just want to eat it, although I can guarantee that won't taste too good...

I've put this on and left it on for a good day and a half, and it STILL lasted! I smelled just as fresh as the day I put it on, and it masked the smell and wetness perfectly.  One instance, was actually a week ago. I'm petrified of the Dentist, but had not seen one in quite some time, so I had made an appointment. The day of the appointment finally came creeping up around the corner (luckily I had already received my generous VoxBox), and I was getting nervous and stressed out. While I was getting ready, I slathered some nicely smelling Clinical Strength Stress Response on, and went on my way. I was able to sit in the dentists chair without my jacket on, and not have to worry whether they could see my sweat, or smell my stench. It worked PERFECTLY! Also, for me, this does NOT leave any marks on black clothing, which is great! If you are worried about that, I'd put it on, let it dry for a few minutes, and then put said black shirt on.

The one thing that gets me is the price. I know it's "prescription strength" deodorant, but in this day, I can not afford to pay the $7.99-$9.99 that this product costs. I would purchase this again having a coupon, or on sale. Other than that, I could afford 4-5 different deodorants for the price of this 1. I do feel that this product is absolutely worth every cent, but the economy keeps me from being able to purchase it.

I would like to say thank you to both Influenster and Secret for the great deodorant! :)

BZZAgent: Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Campaign 2013

Yes, yes, yes. Another week, another blog post, another BZZAgent Campaign. This time I was sent the new Hydra Recharge System from Garnier Fructis (Courtesy of BZZAgent of course.  If you haven’t read my other post, BZZAgent is an awesome site that allows you to get put into “Campaigns” and test products, that are totally free, tell others about them (by giving samples they send, or coupons!) and then review them (and of course I’m all about reviewing items). This is my fifth Campaign (previously had Afrin Nasal Spray, Neutrogena Norweigan Hand Creme, Glade Expressions, and Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil). The site will be linked below if you are interested.

This campaign was AWESOME! I received 3 FULL SIZED products! The Hydra Recharge Shampoo, Conditioner, and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. The items of this system range from a suggested retail value of $3.99-$6.99.

006Of course, here we have the Shampoo, the 1-Minute Treatment, and the Conditioner.

The BZZ on the site (not street...eh? Good? I'm awesome.) is that the Hydra Recharge line harnesses the natural superfruit powers of goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi, this new team of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge products has accomplished the seemingly impossible task of actively replenishing dry hair without weighing it down.

BZZAgent informs us that the Hydra Recharge Shampoo is a hydration innovation; the first to feature thousands of beads that burst on impact for rich, creamy lather and deep hydration. Pair the shampoo with Hydra Recharge Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment to get the full effect of this breakthrough system that instantly recharges dry hair with a burst of high performance hydration that lasts.

They also tell us that the Hydra Recharge Line:

  • Works best on dry to normal hair (I used to have soft hair...but dying/straightening has lead me to having dry hair!)

  • Keeps hair weightlessly silky for up to two days! (And they're not lying)

  • And, it's available at grocery stores, drug stores and mass merchandisers!


The first step, and part of this line is the Shampoo of course!

010According to BZZAgent,the Hydra Recharge shampoo is a hydration innovator, featuring for the first time thousands of beads that burst on impact. Now, usually these beads bug me, you know the ones that are in body wash that get stuck under your nails? Well these are NOTHING like that! They dissolve perfectly, and very quickly. Now this is a very awesome, special shampoo. When you first squeeze it out on your hands, it's like a gel texture. It feels like the kind of styling gel you put in your hair, except it's thinner and it has these little beads in it. When you put it on your hair, it feels weird rubbing it into my hair, but then with the snap of your finger it turns into this awesome lather. I've never had a shampoo that lathers so much, but I'm not complaining! It's awesome! Now something I noticed is that this shampoo smells good, but it's not strong, and I've realized the smell strengthens as you go up with products. I'm not sure if it's just me, or if others have found that as well. On the BZZAgent site, it says that the beads are "little pockets of moisture" that are formulated for lasting hydration! The bottom line is that this will be my NEW go-to shampoo!

The second step and part of the line is the 1-Minute Treatment!

008BZZAgent says that the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment is a powerful deep treatment whose revolutionary lightweight crème-gel formula transforms dry hair with a surge of high-performance hydration in just one minute. I think of this treatment as a pre-conditioner. I thought that it was just going to be conditioner in a different type of bottle, but it wasn't, it's a whole different product and I love it! I use this product right after I shampoo, and I will let it sit while I either wash up, wash my face, or shave. Although it says "1-Minute" you don't actually have to leave it in for only a minute, you can leave it in a little longer, which is what I usually do. This Treatment has a very soft, creamy texture, that just glides into your hair perfectly. BZZAgent says for best results use 2x a week...usually I just use it when I wash my hair, which is anywhere from 3-5 times a week, which I know isn't really healthy, but I can't help it! I like that this isn't a leave in product. I find that leave in products really make my hair feel weird and weighed down which is exactly what this system doesn't do.

Lastly, is the Conditioner!

009This is the final product that pulls all 3 of them together! The wonderful Conditioner! I have a crazy obsession with conditioner, I have to use it all the time, and I use more than should be needed. I need every inch of my hair to be covered in it, I can't stand feeling "dry" hair while using it. The site says the conditioner contains superfruits goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to actively replenish without heaviness. I find that this product smells the BEST out of the three, and is the strongest scent. Not only does the hydration last throughout the day, but the smell does too, which makes me happy! I hate when conditioners scents last until your hair is dry, and then it smells like...hair? Just dull, boring, scentless hair. Anyways, like I said before, this product tops it all off, and it makes my hair SO soft and smooth that I can't even stand it (in a good way).

I feel that this product is a MUST for people with dry to normal hair. Not only is it affordable (there are often coupons to help deter the cost) but it's long lasting, and revives your hair!

Thank you BZZAgent and Garnier!
