Dove Moisturizing Product Reviews

Dove

"Discover expert care real women love."

Products I will be reviewing:

1.  Dove Go Sleeveless Antiperspirant

2.  Dove White Beauty Bar

3.  Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash

4.  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo

5.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner

Firstly,  I like to thank Dove, Glam Sense, & TopBox for choosing me to receive these products for free to try and review :)

1.  Dove Go Sleeveless Antiperspirant :

"Our best care for the armpit.  The Dove Go Sleeveless formula with NutriumMoisture technology effectively nourishes your skin, going beyond 48-hour odour protection for softer, smoother armpits in just 3 days."

In my opinion Dove is one of those well known & trusted companies and I was excited to have received the Dove go sleeveless anti-perspirant, because with Dove (really) you can never go wrong.  Firstly, you have the classic Dove smell, which I love also makes you feeling nice and fresh.  Second, the anti-perspirant goes on nice and smooth and it did keep me well protected and smelling fresh through out the day.  Would I say it an 48-hour odour protector?  No not quite.  But it does last throughout a day (which I kind of just repeated myself).  After the "3 day" smoother armpit claim period, I did feel like my armpits were moisturized/smoother/softer and I'm sure as I continuing using Dove go sleeveless, it's just gonna keep getting better :)  The only downfall I have with this product and this is almost with any white solid anti-perspirant (but it seemed liked a lot with this Dove), it transferred to your clothing A LOT.  You know that struggle you have with trying to wear black with white deodorant?  You really have to be careful and plan your attack of putting on our shirts LOL.  But overall, I did like this product and I would possibly be buying this in the future.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.

2.  Dove White Beauty Bar :

"With 1/4 moisturizing cream, Dove Beauty Bar replenishes your skin with nutrients and makes it softer, smoother and more radiant over time."

Using Dove products I always know/feel confident that you will be getting great products.  With the Dove White Beauty Bar, it's no exception.  I have very dry skin and that fact it's the colder/winter months where I am, dry skin just sucks :(  It's good knowing that Dove's Beauty Bar comes with at least some moisturizing cream (1/4).  Mind you I still need to apply lotion but it's definitely a major positive compared to other bars of soap.  The only negative thing I had was after using this to wash my face, I had a little bit of a breakout.  I have stupidly sensitive skin when it comes to using products on my face so most likely this is just in my case.  Skin does feel nice and soft & smoother after using.  Great for the rest of the body and using Dove original Beauty Bar you get that classic Dove scent that I know and love.  You know your clean when you smell Dove.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.

3.  Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing BodyWash:

"Dove makes your skin softer and smoother after just one shower*.  

With our gentlest cleaners and NutriumMoisture.  Dove has 10x more moisturizers+."

* Compared to skin before shower.

+ Versus a leading body wash.

Dove's Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash, leaves your skin feeling & smelling nice and fresh. Do I agree with the claim "softer, smoother skin after one shower".  No, not really.  But I guess it's more of less being compared to before & after showering.  So yes, this body wash made my skin feel more softer/smoother than other body wash brands (which is good enough for me) but I still found I really needed to apply a lotion after using.  Mind you I do have very dry skin to begin with and with it being in the cold/winter months, its to be expected.  My overall rating is 4 out of 5 and only because I didn't feel like I got a "huge bang" of moisturizing for what is being advertised, if you know what I mean.   I usually tend go between two brands of body wash, Dove being one of them and after trying the Deep Moisture (I usually go with a Dove Go Fresh), I'm still a fan of the Dove Body Wash and all of Dove's products.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.



4.  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo:

"Want instantly soft and visibly smooth hair?  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo protects hair from the daily wear and tear of life.  The special formula, with Pro-Moisture Complex, gently cleans and progressively nourishes, without weighing hair down.  Lather into wet hair, and rinse."

I found this Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo to be great to get a nice and clean/fresh feel to the my hair.  It left my hair feeling noticeable softer afterwards and in between washes.  I didn't see a big difference in smoothness & I personally felt it weighing my hair down a bit but with this special "Pro-Moisture Complex" formula, definitely feeling the nourishment happening.  I would recommend this product for the fact of the classic Dove smell along with the freshness and softness that is achieved.  My overall rating is an average 3 out of 5.

5.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner:

"Dry hair can be hard to manage and style.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner is formulated with Pro-Moisture Complex and instantly smoother visible signs of dryness, while progressively nourishing without weighing hair down.  Apply to wet hair, focus on the ends and rinse well."

I have been using the Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner, for quite awhile now and I have to say that I do like that it makes my hair feeling nice, soft and smelling great afterwards (the clean smelling freshness sadly doesn't last).  The softness does seem to last though between washes but this conditioner didn't leave my  hair as smooth as I was hoping for.  Overall if your looking for a good conditioner that will leave your hair feeling soft & smelling good (for a brief time), this might work for you.  If your looking for just an average softening conditioner this will be the ticket.  Just don't expect miracles.  Oh, it also didn't leave me with too many tangles thankfully.  I was expecting a lot more than what I had to deal with.  My overall rating is an average 3 out of 5.

Vaseline Lip Therapy

Vaseline Lip Therapy

'Rosy Lips'

"Keep your lips looking healthy and beautiful with Vaseline Lip Therapy. Available in a premium steel tin, these products provide the healing benefits of Vaseline Jelly in formulas custom made for dry lips."

I was in dire need of a new lip treatment for my dry lips and so when I was chosen to receive the new Vaseline Lip Therapy (Rosy Lips) for free, I was very happy & relieved that I just might have found a lip product to help me through these winter months.

Firstly, I like to say I was not a fan of the packaging.  The little round tin.  Not a fan in my books.  I would of much rather had a stick, instead of having to place your finger in everytime to use the product.  Also a little itty bitty negative (for me again) is I usually apply my face lotion first and then I'll apply my lip balm and with this twist tin lid.  It's just overall frustrating trying to open the darn thing.

The product itself, goes on nice and does make your lips feel nice and moisturized and it does last quite awhile (not all day or anything but a good while).  It did seem to help out my dry lips but that's the thing, it just help.  In the long run my lips were still very dry.   The one major issue I have is that after you have worn this I feel like its acts more like a covering and that in itself causes your lips to feel more dry after wearing.  So that is why I mentioned while wearing it feels moisturized but long run lips are still dry.  Sorry if I repeated myself there.  As for the scent there is a slight pleasant rosy/floral smell and there is a slight pinkish tint.

Overall I'd say the Vaseline Lip Therapy does make your lips feel moisturized but I don't feel it has the "healing power" it claims to have.  Just another new lip balm out there on the market.  I would consider going out/recommending this product again if only the packing was different.  Sadly that was it's major downfall.

Note:  Also available in 3 other flavours:  Original, Cocoa Butter, & Aloe.

TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Collection

Thanks to TRESemme, TopBox, & Glam Sense, I was chosen to receive the following TRESemme Glam Sense box (for free) which included the following products:

1.  Pre-Wash Conditioner

2.  Volume Shampoo

3.  Volume & Softness Hair Maximizer

Below I will give a explanation & my thoughts on each product.  Thanks for checking this out and hope you enjoy find it a little bit helpful :)

Step One:  Pre-Wash Conditioner 

(white bottle)

"TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Pre-Wash Conditioner is designed to be used before you shampoo, to leave hair smooth and polished but still full of bounce."

It's Good but not... 

I'm a huge fan of Tresemme and when I was chosen to try Tresemme's new Beauty Full Volume System, I was super excited. My hair is natural fine & limp :(. Also with it getting into winter, my hair then likes to be very dry as well. When I first heard about how Tresemme came out with a new way of going about washing ones hair, and having a pre-wash condition for step one. My first thought was, "their nuts!", but I was willing to give it a go. But in their explanation on why, it does kind of make sense ("using conditioner after you shampoo can weigh down your hair").

Now my thoughts on Step One Pre-Wash: First I'm just going to start with the packaging/bottle and get that out of the way. Love the shape (not too big for my little hands) color combo is appealing, and it also comes with a pump. Love this! Thank you for that. Another huge check mark is the smell. You can never open a Tresemme bottle and be disappointed. Love the smell as well. Not too overpowering, leaves the hair smelling nice & fresh for a good day or two.

As for using the product itself, like I mentioned above it does come with a pump and as instructed on the back of the bottle I have shoulder length hair so I went with 2-3 pumps of product, and left on for over a minute. My only issue I really had with this is I didn't feel like 2-3 pumps were enough and also it didn't love how it made my hair feel right afterwards. Maybe it's because I'm stuck on the old process of when you put on a conditioner (afterwards) your hair is suppose to feel (can't describe it) like you actually conditioned your hair, somewhat soft and silky. For that reason I'm giving the Pre-Wash 4 out of 5 stars. Kudos for Tresemme for thinking out of the box though.

Step Two:  Volume Shampoo 

(black bottle)

"TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo is designed to come after the Pre-Wash Conditioner to wash away weight. That way, your hair gets the conditioning it needs to feel smooth and silky, but maintains the bounce it needs to look fabulously full."

Starting with the packaging, it's your classic TREsemme product bottle. The color combo is nice. Bottle easy to hold use. Unlike Step 1's Pre-Wash there was no pump just your basic squeeze cap. The smell is pleasant. Leaves hair feeling nice and clean. The one thing I felt was missing is this shampoo w/ Pre-Wash first combo doesn't really work for me. Yes, I did achieve a bit more volume than what I'm use to (fine,dry, limp hair) but the overall feeling I got left my hair feel like I very dry coarse hair. Didn't feel like it was nice soft and light. I just think the whole Pre-Wash conditioner first step, doesn't work for me. I'm sure it's fine for other people, but I actually tried it the how I would normally wash my hair, shampoo first then the conditioner and I found it did work better for me. Would I suggest picking this/these products up? If you looking to achieve a bit more volume, I'd say yes give it a shot. You just might have more luck than I did. The way TRESemme products smell alone, wins me over to be truthful :) Rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Step Three:  Volume & Softness Hair Maximizer 

(white tube)

"Some volumizing hair products leave hair feeling stiff and sticky. TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Volume & Softness Hair Maximizer lets you have hair that’s got bounce and body, but still feels soft."

TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume & Softness Hair Maximizer. Claims to "help you create volume, and finer polishing actives, which smooth the cuticles"..

Well it smells good :) I felt this just weighed down my hair a lot and I didn't use a lot of it. My hair didn't feel any softer and with it being "weighted down" it didn't help me achieve any more volume. I've tried using a wee bit to using a bit more than recommended but... Nope.

So sadly, I do have to give this a pass. I have fine hair, so other people may have better luck than I did. TRESemme has and will always be my favourite line of hair care products but this one just didn't work for me. As for the "whole" Beauty-Full Volume" line, if your looking at achieving more volume and would say give this a go. Who doesn't love changing up their normal routine and feeling rebellious and using a Pre-Wash Conditioner first/before the actually shampoo!  Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
