IntelliDent Toothbrush Shields

Ready to keep your toothbrush protected from germs, dust, & multiple surface & airborne microbes?
If you aren't quite sure what I am talking about, don't worry I am about to inform you!

I bet you didn't realize that whenever you flush your toilet it can actually contaminate up to a six foot radius! I'm pretty sure most of you are like me & have your toothbrush in it's holder located on the sink which is right beside the toilet, am I right? You are thinking about it now aren't you, seems pretty gross huh? I had actually never thought about whenever I flush my toilet that my toothbrush was being affected & now that I think about it, how nasty is that?! I'm brushing my teeth with a toothbrush that I basically just cleaned the toilet with!! Well good news for you & me both is that now thanks to IntelliDent there are these wonderful products called Toothbrush Shields! You're excited! I know, I am too!

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Natural Laundry Detergent


Recently I received 3 sample packets of Seventh Generation's Free & Clear Laundry Detergent for free to test & review! 


Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent

 I used this detergent on my 17 month old son's laundry, which as we all know toddler's can be super messy! My son likes to get food all over his clothes & of course get nice & messy! This particular detergent did a wonderful job at getting all those icky messes out of his clothes, so I must say that I was very impressed with how well it worked! My little man also has pretty sensitive skin so I have to be very careful with what I use on his clothes or his skin, some ingredients cause him to break out in little spots. Since this laundry detergent is free & clear which means that it has no dyes or synthetic fragrances! I love that this is a NATURAL detergent & that this company is cruelty free! I would definitely recommend this detergent to everyone, especially to people who have sensitive skin because it worked great for my son!

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream & Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask

Recently I received a bottle of Valentia True Glow Eye Cream and a jar of Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask to try and review for free for my honest opinions. Thank you Valentia & BrandBacker for this opportunity! 


Valentia True Glow Eye Cream & Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask



I'll start off with my review of the Valentia True Glow Eye Cream. 


Valentia True Glow Eye Cream
This product states that it:
  • Reduces wrinkles & fine lines
  • Lightens dark circles 
  • Reduces puffiness
  • Nourishes & hydrates
  • Tightens the under eye area


It is made of specifically selected ingredients to achieve optimum results:

  • Astaxanthin- which is a powerful antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooths fine lines & wrinkles, & restores elasticity to the skin
  • Resistem- Natural Plant Stem Cells that repair & protect the skin from harsh environmental pollutants & stress related aging
  • Vitamin C- which leaves the skin smooth & visibly brighter for a well-rested & bright eyed look
  • Organic Rosehip Oil- which provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
  • Arnica- a key anti-inflammatory agent



  The directions state that you can apply this eye cream twice a day after cleansing, I applied it in the morning & then again at night before bed. It is really very easy & simple to apply, squirt some of the product out of the dispenser onto your finger & apply it in a patting motion under your eye starting at the outer corner & work your way in towards your nose. 

  

  I like the fact that this eye cream is in a glass bottle & that the dispenser makes it easy to get the product out. I find that one push on the dispenser is enough for me to do both of my eyes, so I am confident that this product will last a long time as it doesn't take much to use it. The product itself is an orange color & has a nice smell to it. I can actually tell a difference as soon as I apply the eye cream, it brightens my under eye area & gives it a nice shine & color much better than dark circles! After applying this cream I really can feel it tighten the skin under my eyes so I know it is doing its job! The only thing that I wouldn't recommend is using this eye cream before you apply your liquid foundation or if you decide to then wait a while before actually applying foundation. I put some of the eye cream on before applying my liquid foundation & found that it flaked off with my foundation as I was trying to apply it, perhaps I didn't wait long enough before applying my foundation. Overall I would recommend Valentia Eye Cream & plan on to continue using it, it does its job exactly like it claims! 



Now for my review on Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask!


This product states that it:
Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask
  • Boosts collagen production 
  • Increases skin radiance
  • Reduces fine lines 
  • Locks in skin moisture
  • Reveals softer smoother skin

The ingredients include:
  • Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend- increases moisture & help in the production of collagen & elastin which decreases the appearance of visible lines. 
  • Botanical Hyaluronic Acid- penetrates deep into the skin to secure moisture & plump skin from within. 
  • Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil- an anti-aging wonder berry that results in fewer fine lines, diminished sun spots, more even skin tone, & firmer more supple skin.
  • Japanese Green Tea- contains catechins that provide anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant effects to the skin. 
  • Aloe Vera- moisturizes skin & fights aging by improving skin firmness. 
The directions are to apply to the face avoiding the eye area, leave on for 15-30 minutes, then use a damp cloth & warm water to remove. I find the directions to be pretty simple. It also states that a slight tingling sensation is normal. 

  
  The mask comes in a nice plastic jar with a lid that screws on, I did find it a bit odd that whenever I received my jar & unscrewed the lid there wasn't any type of plastic covering or seal on the top of the jar to separate the contents from touching the lid. The product has a lovely smell to it & I find it very inviting! The consistency of this mask is nice & thick & it even wiggles whenever you jiggle the jar (which personally I find pretty funny & intriguing), & it is an orange color.  

Valentia Ultra Plumping & Hydration Mask 
  
  Whenever I applied the product I found that even though the consistency is nice & thick it spreads out pretty easily & it really doesn't take a lot to cover my entire face! I personally did not experience a tingling sensation & I left the mask on for time periods of 15-18 minutes each time I applied the mask. It did leave my skin feeling very soft & smooth! This particular mask did a nice job at hydrating my facial skin & I really like the way it makes my face feel after I use it! I would definitely recommend & will continue to use this mask! 


I would like to put some information about the company that I really like about them & applaud them for being! This company is CRUELTY FREE which I love that they are, thank you so much Valentia for not harming any animals whenever testing your products! Valentia's products are made using sustainable energy, include organic ingredients, use 98% natural ingredients, vegan friendly, & are made in the USA!

OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser

I recently was chosen to try & review OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser! I got to try this for free for my honest review of what I thought about the product! 

OZ Natuals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser

I would like to start off by saying first off I am really impressed with this company & their standards! They do absolutely NO animal testing (which I love that this company is cruelty free, it is very hard to find companies that don't test on animals these days), 100% Vegan, powered with 100% renewable, biodegradable products, & proudly made in the USA; these are just a few things about this company, you can see all the wonderful things about them on their website at: www.oznaturals.com 





Now that I've covered a few things I love about this company, onward to my review!



Here's a bit of information about this product & what it does: 
  • It has a proprietary concentrate of 92+ ocean minerals and these minerals nourish & repair dry skin, blemishes, skin lesions, & rough/damaged skin while the botanicals in it soothe & stimulate cellular regeneration. 
  • It's safe for all skin types! 


The steps to using this Facial Cleanser are really very simple & are as follows:
  • Apply to hands or cloth (I've noticed that you only need a small amount, about dime sized or so, it doesn't take much)
  • Moisten with water
  • Apply to face
  • Wash thoroughly
  • Rinse off

During my time using this product, I followed the directions as on the box however I don't have an exfoliation routine or OZ Naturals serum but I did use a moisturizer every time after I washed my face with this cleanser. If I decided not to use a moisturizer after using this cleanser I did notice that my skin would be a little dry, so I would recommend using a moisturizer afterward. 

I personally have noticed just within the first couple of times that I used the Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser that my skin feels so smooth, soft, & really rejuvenated! It honestly feels like it has removed all my dry skin & replenished it to be nice & healthy! I am very impressed with the way this cleanser has made my face feel. I highly recommend trying this product, you won't be disappointed. I know that once I get close to running out of this cleanser I will definitely be buying some of it!

Garnier Micellar Water & Clearly Brighter Moisturizer

Recently I was chosen by Crowdtap (I'll put more information about it in the bottom of this post) to host a Garnier Skin Active party! I received 8 normal Micellar Water (pink lid), 2 waterproof Micellar Water (blue lid), 11 Clearly Brighter Moisturizer, a sleeve of cotton pads, & a $10 giftcard for party supplies!  
I will explain exactly what each product does & review how I think it worked & if I recommend trying it or not! 

I will start off with the Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water! The info pamphlet I received says that it: 1. removes makeup, cleanses, & refreshes in just one step. 2. Suprisingly powerful, yet gentle on even sensitive skin. 3. No rinsing or harsh rubbing. 
To be honest before I tried it I was a bit skeptical of how well it actually removes makeup, my usual makeup removing routine has always consisted of using baby oil as my mother does & her mother does. Normally I don't wear a ton of facial makeup, but I do enjoy enhancing my eye makeup so I use eye shadow, liquid eyeliner, regular eyeliner, & of course mascara. At the end of the night after wearing makeup all day I decided to give this Micellar water a try! I squirted some out onto the cotton pad & followed the directions (which are pretty simple: pour on pad, press, & wipe away).
Proof is on the pad!!



I was truly astonished as to how well it took my makeup off, I didn't have to scrub my face at all!
If you wear your eye makeup right on the inside of your bottom lid like I do or up close to your lashes (on top or bottom lid) you can actually take a q-tip & put the micellar water on it to get into those tiny spots!
I am really impressed with how amazing this water works & it doesn't aggravate my skin at all! I even use the Micellar Cleansing Water on my face even when I don't wear makeup to cleanse & clean my face even then with no makeup on you can get the proof from the pad & see how well it cleans the face! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone, even if you don't use makeup all the time you can still cleanse your face with this!





Next is the Garnier Skin Active Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15! 
The info pamphlet says that: 
1. Clinically Proven Results in just one week. 
2. Antioxidant complex with Vitamin C, E, and LHA 
3. Broad Spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen 
4. Reveal 2 key dimensions of brighter looking skin: Radian, more even skin tone & Improves skin texture, even reduces wrinkles. 

Personally I don't normally use a moisturizer on my face, however whenever it comes to all these wonderful things that are listed about what this product does why wouldn't I want to try this?! I have used this every night since I have received it & to be honest I really have noticed a difference in my facial skin! I've noticed that my skin tone is more even, I have always had a little bit of redness on my cheeks & chin since I was a young child & this actually seems to make it not quite as noticeable or at least to me it has! I have also noticed how soft my skin has been, typically I have dry skin right on the side of my nose where I have a nose ring & this has helped to keep my skin moisturized & I no longer have that flaky skin there! I think it has helped reduce some of my wrinkles a bit too, I have those wrinkles that you get at the top of your forehead from those silly facial expressions we as humans make, this has seemed to make them not quite so deep & I love that! I would definitely recommend trying this product!


My husband was actually nice enough to let me try these products on him as well & no he doesn't wear makeup or is into all those girly facial products (haha). He has pretty sensitive skin, so much that I have to be careful what type of detergent that I buy & almost everything breaks him out. I applied the Micellar water onto his face to just cleanse his pores & make his face nice & clean! Afterwards I gave his face a moment to dry I then applied the Clearly Brighter Moisturizer! He was actually really surprised that neither one of these products made him break out! He said that with only using the moisturizer once he already noticed a difference & he continued to use it!

Really I think that Garnier has done a great job with even just these two products alone & that makes me want to try more of their products! I highly recommend both the Micellar Cleansing Water & the Garnier Clearly Brighter Moisturizer!

Sahale Snacks

    Recently thanks to Crowdtap & Sahale I got to try some Sahale Snacks! I must say that I am very pleasantly surprised with how amazing they taste! At first I was a bit skeptical as to how they would taste, I figured that they would have more of a "nut" taste than any other flavor. I received 6 bars of Almond Vanilla Latte (in the blue packaging), 6 bars of Salted Caramel Apple Pecan (yellow packaging), 1 bag of Honey Almonds, & 1 bag of Pomegranate Vanilla Cashews. 
Sahale Snacks!!
Salted Caramel Apple
The Salted Caramel Apple Pecan is amazing, it has a salty but yet sweet taste! The combination of flavors & that salty sweet taste make this snack bar so good!

Almond Vanilla Latte






The Almond Vanilla Latte bar has a yummy coffee/latte taste making it perfect to pair with a nice warm cup of coffee!! It has a sweet taste but not overpowering.


The Honey Almond snack pack is delicious, they have just the right amount of honey which would make these perfect to use in brownies or even on a salad!

One of my top favorites was the snack pack of Pomegranate Vanilla Cashews, they have a sweet taste to them & the flavor is so amazing you can really taste the pomegranate & vanilla! I think Sahale may have outdone themselves with this one, its so delicious!
