Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen

"Redefine your sunscreen experience with NEW Hydro Boost Water Gel SunscreenSPF 50 with a water-light feel and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Infused with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, the formula instantly quenches dry skin."

My Thoughts:

This sunscreen is thin in consistency and it's hydro gel leaves a nice and refreshing feel to the skin.  With SPF 50, makes this great.  Another huge bonus with this for me anyways is that when applied near/around the eye area it doesn't make my eyes water.  Any other sunscreen, if it comes close or if I rub my eye wrong, I'm done for.  My eyes will not stop watering.  With this sunscreen, I never had that issue.  So thank you for that.  I usually break out a bit when applying other sunscreens and I can't say for sure that this did or not, but I had a few breakouts but I don't think it was directly related to this particular product.  But maybe just something to keep in mind.  As for price, it's a bit up there for sunscreen and the amount you get but with SPF 50 and overall look feel, no tears situation (in my case).  I would consider purchasing this.

Hydro Boost Gel Cream

"NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream instantly quenches dry skin and keeps it looking smooth, supple and hydrated all day. Our unique light-weight formula absorbs quickly, like a gel, but has the long-lasting, intense moisturizing power of a cream. It boosts skin's hydration level and locks it in all day. Formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid, naturally found in skin, it acts as a sponge for dry skin cells, moisturizing with up to 1,000 times its weight in water, resulting in more supple and smooth skin."

• Oil-free
• Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
• No drying alcohol
• Purified hyaluronic acid
• Wearable under make-up

My Thoughts:

This gel like cream makes your face feel nice, refreshed and hydrated after applying.  Did that hydration last all day?  No.  Some people have complained about the smell but I found it quite pleasant (refreshing) and I'm usually pretty sensitive to smells.  Did I see any improvement/difference to my skin after using?  No, but I only tried a sample size amount.  If I was the type of person who splurged on "drugstore" products, I would buy this again.  For the amount you get, it again like the other products in this Hydra Boost" line, they are a bit up there in price.

All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

"NEUTROGENA® All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes are soft, pre-moistened wipes, infused with a mild cleansing lotion. They not only gently and effectively cleanse and remove all types of make-up but also tone skin, leaving it refreshed in just one convenient step. Skin conditioning ingredients help prevent over-drying and leave your skin feeling soft and looking healthy. Gentle enough to use around sensitive eye area, even for contact lens wearers."

• Gently erases 99% of your most stubborn make-up, even waterproof mascara, with just 1 wipe
• Dermatologist tested
• Ophthalmologist tested
• Alcohol-free
• Infused with mild cleansing lotion

My Thoughts:

"These wipes are amazing. Removes everything and leaves your skin feeling nice, refreshed, and fully cleaned.  Also non drying and non greasy.  Another plus is that the very last few in the pack "weren't" dried out.  The only down side, I find with these is that they are a bit higher in cost of the amount you get, compared to other brands.  But if you can find them in bulk, on sale, grab them!  I would definitely get these again."

TRESemme: Compressed-Micro-Mist-

"You want to hold your style?  You want hair that moves?  You can have both."

"A TRESemme first, created with breakthrough technology, compressed hair sprays contain the same number of sprays in a smaller can.

This superfine micro mist gives you lightweight coverage for a hold that lasts all day."

50% Less Gas

Review:

I have always like TRESemme products. Actually my all time favourite holy grail shampoo & conditioner are from TRESemme, so I was excited to try this new "Compressed-Micro Mist" Smooth hairspray.  The packaging is super attractive (black, purple, gold), and sleek. The actual can kind of makes you think there's not a whole lot of product going on inside (155g) but again it's "Compressed-Micro".  

As for the product so far, the mister is a good quality.  Distributes the product evenly.  Claims to have "invisible hold", which I can agree with but I tend to believe this hairspray is more geared to the people who are looking for the Smoothing effect.  Not necessarily the Hold effect, because it disappointed me in that area a tiny bit.  

Also if you don't like strong smelling products.  Don't get this.  It's follows you around for hours.  It's not to chemically smelling, has a floral scent about it but like I said, it's strong and it lingers.

It's about average price at the local dept store, and depending on what you are looking to achieve, you may or may not want to give this a go.  Would I personally buy this again?  No but I'm looking for both Smoothing & Hold, and the scent just pushed me more towards the no end.  

If you were wanting to try something new in the smoothing department and you love TRESEmme, it's worth the shot.

Shampoo Review:  I've been that person who has seen this in the stores and said "that looks different, I wonder if it's any good?".  Thanks to Chick Advisor and Love, Beauty, & Planet, I was able to try it for free #gotitfree.  And I'm happy to say I will be buying from this line again.  It's a bit pricey for the amount you get but for the quality, ingredients (organic), and planet-friendly (100% recycled plastic), it's worth it.  When using with the conditioner it leaves your hair nice, light, and you feel refreshed after using.  The only two little downside of things is the scent reminded me a lot of my husbands shaving gel and/or body wash, and it didn't leave my hair as smooth as I would have liked.  Can't wait to try other products from this brand.  Give it a shot.  

Conditioner Review:  It's a bit pricey for the amount you get but I actually believe for once you get what you paid for. It leaves your hair feeling so soft, light, and refreshed after using. Not a whole lot of volume happening but that's most likely my own hairs fault (fine). The only two little minor things is the scent is border line "Men's shaving gel/body wash" scent and it doesn't leave my hair as smooth as I would like. Would that stop me from buying this again? No. But I will definitely be trying their other scents, in the future. Love that the company is using organic and 100% recycled plastic for their packaging. 

Body Wash

Beauty:  "Feeling over-worked?  So is your skin. Give it a detox with a purifying experience in the shower with our daily detox body wash.  Blended with Tea Tree Oil and Vetiver for an earthy refined scent.  It's like a deep-sigh for your skin in the shower."

Planet:  "Our goal is a carbon footprint so small, it's like we weren't even here.  We've started our journey by loading our products with goodness and packing it in recycled bottles.  Our delicate scents are infused with natural  and ethically sourced oils and extracts."

Body Wash Review:  This body wash definitely feels like a "daily detox" for your skin.  Nice and refreshing after a long day.  Lathers really well and the scent isn't too overpowering (for Tea Tree, you would think it would be).  Love the fact the company is set on using organic and the bottle is 100% recycled plastic.  For a body wash it is a bit pricey but I can over look that for the good quality of the product & packaging (helping the earth).  The one thing I would say is the scent it's not over powering like I mentioned but it's border line a men's body wash/shaving gel scent.  Can't wait to try other scents.  I'd give it a shot.

*Vetiver = is most closely related to Sorghum (hmm ok ??..) but shares many morphological characteristics with other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass, citronella, and palmarosa. 

( If any one was wondering. LOL.)
