L'Oréal Paris Purify & Mattify Pure-Clay Mask

Rated: 4/5.!

Broke out my final face mask from the trio I received from BzzAgent to pamper my tired face after a long, fun weekend with family.! The one I used today was the L'Oréal Paris Purify & Mattify Pure-Clay Mask, and much like the other three, I was very impressed.! It smelled quite nice thanks to the eucalyptus in it, and was immediately very cool on my skin. It seemed like a thicker mask than the other two, but it dried just as tight and matte as the others had. In fact, I personally think this one felt even tighter than the charcoal mask did.! It had a bit of a tingly sensation at first, similar to the others, but it didn't last once it was drying down. It wasn't too difficult to wash off with warm water and a rag, and it left my face with the nice smooth feeling the others had. This mask is supposed to unclog pores, and I would say it worked somewhat well for that. It got rid of most of my clogged pores in my trouble area, but nowhere near as much as the red algae mask did. I'll definitely use this mask again in the future (especially on a hot summer day with how cool it makes your face feel.!) but I think it stands firm at a 4 out of 5 for me.

L'Oréal Paris Detox & Brighten Pure-Clay Mask

Rated: 4/5.!

Today I tried out the L'Oréal Paris Detox & Brighten Pure-Clay Mask from the trio of pure-clay masks I received for free from BzzAgent. I liked how tight and matte it dried, it felt similar to how a peel-off mask would dry.! It didn't have too terrible of a smell, though it definitely had a bit of a scent going to it. It felt cooling and tingly again, similar to the red algae mask did. Plus, I could see little spots in the dried mask where my pores were, so I take that as a good sign it was doing its job at detoxing my skin.! Taking it off was a little tough, but with warm water and a washcloth I got it off before too long. It left my skin feeling very smooth, and nice and tight.! I was impressed, and definitely want to use this one on my cheeks when I try multi-masking this weekend.! I gave it a 4 out of 5, because while I definitely liked my results, it didn't really wow me as much as the other one has so far.

L'Oréal Paris Exfoliate & Refine Pores Pure-Clay Mask

Rated: 5/5.!

Recently I received three free L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay facial masks to try from BzzAgent, I was super excited to start trying these out and find some new go-tos for skin care. I decided to start my trial with the Red Algae Exfoliate & Refine mask, and I was not disappointed. I went with this one first because after a long weekend of hanging out outside by a bonfire, my face was definitely dirty and needed a good refresher.! Immediately after putting this mask on, it felt very cool and tingly on my skin. It went on easily, and dried nice and matte. It also didn't smell bad, though it does have a clay-ish scent to me. I didn't have a lot of trouble washing it off (I took mine off in the shower, which made it a lot easier) and it left my face feeling really smooth to the touch. When I got out and looked in the mirror, I was honestly shocked. My face looked great.! I usually have a ton of black heads and horribly clogged pores on my nose, and there was NONE after using this mask. It looked clean, smooth, and my pores were definitely smaller. I was amazed. I can't wait to try out the other masks now and add this into my skin care routine as a new regular.! It definitely earned a hard 5 stars in my book.

Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask - 10 Day Check In

Hey guys.! Todays post will be a little different. Last month I was sent the Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask from PinchMe to try out for free. It's a 30 day skin treatment that is supposed to help clear your skin up with 10 minute daily light therapy treatments. I wanted to do 3 posts for this, one at 10 days, one at 20, and then a full review at the end of the 30 days. My 10 and 20 day posts will mostly be "progress" trackers, with photos of my included, and some quick ideas of what I'm thinking so far.

A little bit about the product: It is chemical and UV free. The mask works by using blue lights to target acne causing bacteria, and using red lights to reduce acne inflammation. Each mask package includes a mask, and a 30 day activator. After you've used up your 30 days, you're supposed to toss that activator and buy another if you want to continue using the mask. Personally, this is incredibly wasteful and can be expensive, as each activator is about $15. You just wash your face as normal, and then use the mask for 10 minutes. It has an automatic shut off, so you're able to sit back and relax without worrying about keeping track of the time.

Left photo is one side of my face at the beginning of using the treatments, before ever using the mask
Right photo is the same side of my face 10 days in, a few hours after using the mask.

Left photo is, again, my face before using ever using the mask. Right is a few hours after using it for my 10th day.


My biggest problem area right now is my chin. Top photo is before I started mask treatments, and bottom was after my 10th day.



Honestly, I don't see major progress at all. But, It's also only been 10 days, so I hope it improves more soon. My fiance keeps saying my skin looks clearer, but honestly, it has only felt dry to me recently. So, we shall definitely see.


Bonus picture: How creepy this mask looks on when you're using.! haha

Herbal Essences Smooth shampoo and conditioner

Rated: 5/5.!

Thanks to BzzAgent and Herbal Essences, I recently received the Smooth collections shampoo and conditioner to try out for free. I am actually a long time Herbal Essences user, I have used their Color Me Happy line for many years and always loved it, but since I don't actively color my hair right now, I was searching for something new.! I was so excited to receive these as I've never actually heard of their Smooth and Shine collections before, but I must say, I am now a life time fan of it.! Not only are the bottles super adorable with their vintage and elegant designs, but these products have such a sweet gentle rose scent to them. I'm not typically a huge fan of rose, but these smell so great.! They leave my hair feeling so clean, and it's been in really great condition since I've been using these products strictly. I'm definitely a happy customer and will be buying these again soon.!

Kaboom Disinfex 3-in-1 Bathroom Cleaner

Rated: 3/5.!

So a few weeks ago I received the Kaboom Disinfex 3-in-1 Bathroom Cleaner from Smiley360. I was super late to trying it out due to evacuating our house for 5 days for the hurricane earlier this month, but I finally broke the bottle out and put it to the test last night.! So, before I get into my review, I need to explain a little. We live in an older trailer that has VERY hard water. It covers everything with horrible water spots, has stained our tub terribly from the well water, and since it sat empty for a few years before we bought it, I've been fighting to get rid of these stains and some others caused by poor maintenance since the beginning. Due to this, our house looks filthy in my photos, which is really embarrassing.! If I could review this without including any, I probably would, but I don't feel like you'll get to see what effect this product had on our hard spots if I didn't. So please don't judge too harshly off the little bit you can see in photos. I promise my house is clean, lol.!

On to the review.. So, like I mentioned, I have really bad hard water spots all over my faucets. I figured the first place to really test this products ability then would be on the kitchen sink.! 
It did really help cut down some of the hard water on the faucet, though it didn't do much for the sink itself. This was after only one use, leaving the product on for about 4 minutes. I plan to keep up using it to see if it'll really strip all of it off though, since it did get a good bit off on just one go.! I hoped for better results, but I should have lowered my expectations considering I know how hard this has been to get off in the past. No product is perfect so I know none will get this sparkling with just one use. I was happy knowing my sink was now disinfected though and I moved onto the bathroom.

The first thing I tried it on in my bathroom was our tub. Our tub is incredibly gross looking thanks to years of use and no real good cleanings. Even bleach doesn't get this tub sparkling, so I wasn't expecting this product to do anything for it either. It did good for a general clean up, but it didn't break down any of the stains or clear off any the badly built up soap scum there was, so no great results there. I was again happy knowing it was at least disinfected though. It didn't do much for the faucet either, but it's a really old faucet that I doubt ever saw much love in the past.  No pictures of this, because I forgot a close of up the faucet before using the spray, oops.!

It did wonders for my bathroom sink though, which is one of the newest pieces in our bathroom. It needed a general wipe down really bad before this, so excuse the ickyness in the photos, haha. I was really impressed with how well it cleaned the sink and how it shined after though.! I guess since this sink doesn't have nearly as much build up in it, the product got to really work its wonders in here. Even the faucet looked great and shiny. I was definitely happy with this result, despite being kind of unimpressed with the others.! 


I also used this product to wipe down the outside of my toilet, and it really helped shine things up. I loved knowing it was disinfecting the nastiest part of any bathroom. Over all, I was happy with the clean and knowing it was killing 99.9% of germs on these commonly used surfaces. I just wish it had done a little more for my hard water spots, and that it was a more noticeable clean in the areas of my bathroom that have those build ups. Overall, I don't think this is a product I'd go out and buy regularly. But, I was happy with the results I got from this free bottle, and I will continue to use it to see if it helps with more time.

Blistex Bliss Flip

Rated: 3/5.!

I received this Blistex Bliss Flip lip balm in my July Pinch Me box, and honestly, I'm very torn here.. I LOVE the lip balm formula itself. It is VERY hydrating, it smells nice (though a little strong), but it generally leaves my lips very soft, to the point my fiance said something. But, I'm not a fan of the egg/ball shape for application, and the general shape would be inconvenient for anyone trying to carry it in a pocket. I have mine in my bag or on my makeup table, but obviously not everyone carries a bag everywhere, and this isn't very easy to just stick in your pocket and go. I'm big on functionality and convenience with everything, I need things to work with whatever I decide to do that day. So if I'm headed to an amusement park and don't plan to take a bag.? This couldn't be my on-hand lip balm, which is unfortunate, as I really enjoyed the actual balm part of this product. The price is also quite high (I spotted this in Walmart a few days ago and it was around the $3-4 range, if I remember correctly.) I don't like to spend more than a buck or two on my chapsticks, and even though I've tried EOS balms, I've only purchased it ONCE due to price and these design flaws. Not to mention, EOS balms have a reputation of growing mold, I'm not sure if it's the enclosure that's the issue there or not, so that's another thing I'll be checking for with this Bliss Flip. Over all, I'll use this until I've finished it as I do like the balm itself, but I wouldn't purchase the Bliss Flip. I'll stick to buying my normal tubes of Blistex.

Zephyrhills® Sparkling Spring Water

Rated: 3/5.!

So, I have procrastinated BIG time posting this. Mostly because I wanted to really give it a try before I jumped to reviewing, which, I'm glad I did because it did slightly change my opinion. A few weeks back I received two full value coupons from Smiley360 for a 6 pack of Zephyrhills Brand Sparking Spring Water, to try the #7DaysOfSparkling challenge. We chose two different flavors (out of our local stores super limited selection) to try, one is Lemon, and one is Watermelon Lemon. I will definitely say, I've NEVER had sparkling water before, so it was kind of shocking to try for the first time.! I know that sounds funny to think of with WATER, but.. Sparkling water is just different. Take my word for it, haha. So, after getting over the shock of that a bit, I was iffy on the flavor. The lemon is WAY too strong for me (I don't like lemon.. So I should of expected that) but the watermelon-lemon was good, though a little strong still. One thing I learned through my trial and error with this, is that I really like it when it's "flat" more. When it is straight from the fridge and cold, I don't love it. It's good, but it's too much for me. My fiance also prefers it flat. He keeps a bottle of the Lemon on his night stand for his middle of the night drink now, since he discovered how much he prefers it that way, haha. I always grab a bottle of the watermelon to throw in my bag on the go as well, since it holds up like a normal bottle of water for me. So, overall, I do like this, but I really don't think we'd be regularly purchasing it, as it's not really our taste.

Paper Mate Ink Joy Gel Pens

Rated: 5/5.!

I received two of the new Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens from Crowdtap a few months back.! These pens are supposed to be quicker drying than average gel pens, to prevent smearing. I have used these pens a lot since receiving them, and I definitely agree with that claim.! I haven't had any issues with smudges, and these pens write so smooth.! They are my favorite for making up my grocery list as they are so colorful and fun, but also write so easily. I plan to pick up a few in black for my fiance to replace his normal work gel pens.!

L'Oreal Paris: Extraordinary Oil Curls System

Rated: 5/5.!


A couple of months ago I received the full L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil system for Curls from Crowdtap.! This system included the shampoo, conditioner, and Re-Nourish Mask, all in full sized bottles. I LOVED this stuff.! I used the shampoo and conditioner until the very last drop.! I still have some of the mask left, because you don't need to use it too often, but I do use it at least once a month when my hair is feeling particularly dry. This stuff was incredible.! It makes your hair feel so soft, and it helped my curls feel weightless and actually curly again.! I really can't say enough good things about these products. If you have curly hair, buy this.!

Arm & Hammer Spin Brush/Truly Radiant Toothpaste

Rated: 5/5.!

A few months back I received an awesome package from Crowdtap. It included a full size Arm and Hammer Spinbrush, a full size Truly Radiant toothpaste to try out, and two sample sizes of the toothpaste to share. I have used these products for a good bit now and I really like them.! Though I do  have a few complaints about the toothbrush. It is incredibly loud when on, which can be a problem for anyone trying to get ready near any light sleepers. It also has a bit of a design flaw. While it's awesome that you can remove and swap out the heads, they also allow some water inside the open area where it locks onto the base. I remove the head after every use to dry this area out, and this has caused it to be difficult to lock my head back into place, and sometimes it's difficult to remove. That aside though, this is an awesome toothbrush that isn't too rough on my gums.! This toothpaste has also made my mouth feel incredibly clean and fresh, and I plan to purchase it when my free product runs out.!

Haagen-Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle

Rated: 4/5.!

A few weeks ago I received a full value coupon to try out my choice of Haagen-Dazs' new ice cream flavors. I chose to try the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, which to my surprise, was a very very creamy ice cream. The texture was a nice surprise, and the flavors were spot on. The chocolate truffle chunks in it were a really great addition. The raspberry flavor was quite strong for my liking, but I'm also not a huge raspberry fan, so that's probably why. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I'd love to try out the other flavors they offer, as I really liked the ice creams texture. I definitely recommend this particular one though if you like raspberry.!

Advil PM

Rated: 4/5.!

I received some sample packs of Advil PM through Crowdtap the other day, and got the chance to try it out last night.! Each sample pack contains two pills (kind of on the large size, so if you don't do well with pills, you probably will struggle with these.) and while usually I don't always take the recommended dose of things, I went ahead and took both because I really needed a good nights sleep despite my back pain. I did everything else as I usually do before bed, but noticed myself falling asleep MUCH quicker than usual last night. I have a bad habit of waking up at least once every night, and sometimes just not being able to get back to sleep no matter what I try, and after taking Advil PM I slept right through with no interruptions.! Didn't even budge when my fiance got out of bed.! I woke up feeling very refreshed and well rested.! I was still a little sore in my lower back, but I was definitely not feeling anything when I went to sleep last night. Really happy with these results.!

Check out Advil's site for some great coupons so you can try these too.!! :)

SweetTarts Mini Gummy Bites

Rated: 5/5.!

A few weeks ago I received these SweetTarts Mini Gummy Bites through Smiley360. I received these for free, in exchange for my 100% honest opinion. This was the first time I had ever tried these candies, but man were they awesome.! My fiance and I loved them so much we ate both bags in less than 2 days. They were just too addicting.!  They're not too sour, and they're perfectly sweet. Like a true SweetTart candy.! I've actually been on the hunt for these in stores because I want some again. Highly recommend these yummy candies if you like sour things.!

Cottonelle Clean Care Toliet Paper

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

I am comparing the amount of toilet paper received in a pack of Cottonelle's Clean Care toilet paper against Charmin UltraStrong. Both are double rolls.
I received a 4 pack of Cottonelle's Clean Care toilet paper for reviewing purposes.
image
Cottonelle's double roll includes 208 single ply sheets per roll,
Charmins UltraStrong includes 154 2 ply sheets per roll. While yes, the Charmin is double ply, I promise you there is no difference against the strength and durability of Cottonelle. I typically purchase by sales, which is why I currently have Charmin, but I love Cottonelle's Aloe infused toilet paper, and it is GREAT.
A visual difference with every roll:

Product Review: Bear Crunch Dog Treats

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)


I am going to review a product I received for free to try through a website called PinchMe. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was Bear Crunch dog treats in the flavor Bacon & Blueberry. Please continue reading to find out what I thought about them.!
20151127_102531.jpg
Not only is this treat better for your dog than the usual go-tos, they are made right here in the United States.! With all of their major ingredients originating from the US and Canada.(You can read more about this on their website)
My favorite part about this treat is that it wasn't too hard for my chihuahua to eat (it was also the PERFECT size.!) but it was also perfect for our bigger boy, who's a Malamute mix. Usually I feel bad that I'm buying treats to cater to Wendy's little size, but these are perfect for both of them.!
20151127_102547.jpg
  • These treats contain no wheat, grain, soy, or corn. So even the more specialized diets can enjoy these.!
  • Locally made in the United States
  • Made from natural ingredients like peas, chickpeas, dried fruits (depending on the flavor), and dehydrated meats. So your babies are getting the best ingredients.!
  • Every bag has over 350 treats in it.! That's incredible, especially because if your pups love them as much as mine do - they'll go fast ;)
  • Every treat is less than 3 calories.!
So to wrap up today's brief review on a fantastic product, I would give the Bear Crunch dog treats
❤❤❤❤❤ 5 out of 5 beating hearts ❤❤❤❤❤ .!

I'm a HUGE sour treats fan, so I was really skeptical on how these would hold up to my usual liking (which I'm not a gummy-bears fan on their own, so again, more stuff to make me skeptical on how these would be) but I was very surprised.!

One of the greatest things about this popcorn is that it's Gluten Free, GMO Free, and produced in a completely allergy free facility. So anyone can eat this great snack.!
These great snacks only have on average around 39 calories per cup of popcorn.! They contain no trans fats, and are made with whole grain popcorn and natural sunflower oil so it is so much better for you than the average pack of popcorn.!
So to finish up today's review, I would give the original flavored Skinny Pop Popcorn

Other than the slight bit of blandness for my taste this product was great.! I definitely recommend it.!

Product Review: Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)


Today I am going to review a product I received for free to try through PinchME. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™. Please continue reading to find out what I thought about them.!
So I received my PinchMe box this week as I had hoped.! I have some great products to review, starting with today's, that came from this box and I am so excited about it.! 
wpid-20151021_225355.jpg
Front of the insert included with the treat sample.
One of the great things about these treat-chews is that they come in 3 sizes, Mini, Small/Medium, and Large, based off your dog's weight. So that way they're not biting off more than they can chew, lol.!
If fed daily, these great treats can be as effective as brushing your furbabies teeth twice a week. They are designed with a twist to the bone to encourage your dog to use their whole mouth to chew.! It also has nubs and ridges to help it clean similar to a tooth brush to reduce tartar build-up.
  • As mentioned above, they come in various sizes to best suit your furbaby.!
  • They have 12 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium to help with strong bones and teeth.!
  • Because of their treat like smell and appearance, they're easy to get your pup to want one once a day to help with better tartar control.
The back part of the information insert.
The back part of the information insert. (Sorry it's so dark.!)
Sooo, when I first signed up for these I was so excited. I've used similar dental care treats for Wendy before, and I really liked those, but I'm always open to trying new things for her to see if they yield any better results. My first impression of these before opening the package was "Wow, these are really big for a mini sized treat.!" so I broke one in half (which was SO hard to do by the way, these treats were like rock solid.! More on that in a second..) and gave her it. It smelt good, similar to bacon and cheese to me, which I guess would be great for getting the pups to think it was more treat than dental care.! But, again, these things are SO hard. I was terrified she'd break a tooth on it.!! The previous brand I've used was softer so she could chew on it and safely eat it like a normal treat, but these are like those rawhide bones hard.! I was watching her very carefully the entire time she was chewing on it. She had it for about 30 minutes with little progress on it before I took it away, because she was starting to get it stuck in her mouth and I was afraid she'd choke on it (this was due to me breaking it in half, but I'm glad I didn't waste the full sized treat.) I tossed the leftover of it to our husky - who also had difficulties with the hardness of it.! And he has literally eaten pork rib bones.!! (Not because we fed him them.. little butthead got into the trash can while we were at the store.!) I'm expecting to receive one for his size as well soon, so I'll have to see how he does with that one, but so far, I'm not impressed at all.! I will definitely be returning to my old treats.
So, With that said, it's time for a rating on these Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™.. I would give them
❤❤ 2 out of 5 beating hearts ❤ ❤.!
If they weren't so hard, I'd probably like them a lot more. But I'm not down with having to watch my pup like a hawk for hours while she chews on this.! If it took her 30 minutes with little progress to chew half of the bone, I can only imagine how long she'd take to fully eat a full sized one. Obviously every dog could have a different experience with this, but that's just how I feel.
