Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant

Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 




I was excited to be chosen to try out this product compliments of BzzAgent for testing and review purposes.

I had never heard of Paula's Choice let alone the 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. I was skeptical about the claims of a product that can help with so many types of skin issues such as anti-aging, acne breakouts, enlarged pores, wrinkles, redness, rosacea, keratosis pilaris, and uneven skin tone. I myself have suffered from enlarged nose pores and acne breakouts for almost 20 years. Having acne has resulted in uneven skin tone due to different medications that I have taken in the past. Also, now that I am closely approaching 40 I am starting to see fine lines and am looking for products that help fight the signs of aging. 

I started using Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant about a month ago. I use it twice daily-once in the morning and once at night. I am loving the results. My skin feels and looks amazing. It is softer, smoother, more radiant, and I am noticing that my uneven skin tone is beginning to even out. Furthermore, my enlarged nose pores are actually getting smaller which hasn't happened with any other product. I am so pleased with the results that I am seeing.

I would also like to mention that this product is completely fragrance free and colorant free. It can also be used on all type of skin types. I love that is product can be used for so many types of skin issues yet it is still gentle on my skin.

Viva Vantage Sample and Share Crowdtap Review

Viva Vantage Sample and Share Crowdtap Review




I was recently chosen by Crowdtap for Sample and Share Review for Viva Vantage paper towels. Viva Vantage claims to have a revoluntary V-Flex Weave that gives them more stretch, absorbancy, and scrubbing power. Right away I noticed how thick the towels were and the texture was different from my current brand of paper towels. They even have a "Choose a Size" which is great for me. I am pretty frugal and don't like wasting a whole paper towel on just a small mess.


Here is a before picture




 Here is an after picture using a Size 1



I was truly impressed. It literally took one wipe with a Size 1 Viva Vantage paper towel and the milk was completely gone. Look at how much of the paper towel is still dry. I am convinced that Viva Vantage is a great product and I making the switch.

Speed Stick Gear Review

SPEED STICK GEAR REVIEW







Hi everyone. I am using my wife's blog to post my review of the new Speed Stick Gear antiperspirant/deodorant. I received this product compliments of Influenster for testing and review purposes. I have to say I was pretty skeptical about a product that claims 48 hours of wetness and odor control. However, Speed Stick Gear does what it claims. It kept me dry and odor free for 2 days. It goes on nice and smooth and has a great clean masculine scent. Furthermore, it isn't sticky and doesn't leave white marks under my arms or clothes. I would recommend this product for men who are looking for a long lasting antiperspirant/deodorant.

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants





I recently received Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask in my J'Adore VoxBox compliments of Influenster for testing and review purposes. #powerofplants

 Boot Botancis Ionic Clay Mask contains oceanic minerals that helps draw out deep-rooted impurities and oil without overdrying the skin. It also has the plant extract, willowbark. If you aren't familiar with willow bark, it has several wonderful skin benefits. First, willowbark contains salicylic acid, derived from salicin, which helps to fight acne. It's also a beta hydroxy acid and helps to exfoliate your skin by sloughing off dead skin cells, making way for fresh skin renewal. Willowbark can also minimize age spots and discoloration due to it’s mild exfoliating properties.  Willowbark also offers anti-inflammatory properties that can relieve swelling and sensitivity.  This makes willowbark ideal for conditions of rosacea as well as sensitive blemishes, cystic acne and even aging skin.  

This clay mask is simple to use. 

1. You just apply it to clean skin.
2. Smooth on a generous layer over face and neck. Avoid your eyes.
3. Leave on for 10 minutes.
4.  Wipe away with warm water
5. Use weekly

The results are amazing. Immediately my skin feels cleaner, softer and firmer after use. I absolutely love this product and highly recommend it for those looking for a great face mask! I know that it will definitely be a part of my regular skin routine.

My Cafe Single Cup Multi-Use Brewer by BUNN Review

My Cafe Single Cup Multi-Use Brewer by Bunn





I recently received a BUNN My Cafe Single Cup Multi-Brewer complimentary of Stuff Stuff for testing and review purposes.

I absolutely love my BUNN My Cafe Single Cup Multi-Brewer. This product is perfect for me because I love to drink coffee but just one cup or two cups. The My Cafe is super easy to use and it is very versatile. With this machine you can use K-Cups, ground coffee, tea bags, pods, and it even dispenses hot water for making oatmeal, soups, and hot chocolate.  The manufacturer includes simple step-by-step instructions on how to use the product so you can't mess it up. My coffee and tea come out hot and tasting great. Furthermore, it is very easy to clean and it's smaller than other products out on the market making it easy to travel with. 

I definitely recommend the My Cafe Single Cup Multi-Use Brewer.

Fiber One Meal Replacement Bars - A BzzAgent Review

FIBER ONE MEAL BARS




We all have those days when we just don't have time to sit down and eat a meal. Fiber One has a new product that has the balanced nutrition you need all in one Meal Bar. I was lucky enough to receive 2 boxes of Fiber One Meal Bars complimentary of BzzAgent for testing and review purposes. The flavors I received were Chocolate Peanut Butter and Strawberry Greek Yogurt. Now when I am on-the-go, I just grab a Fiber One Meal Bar. It keeps me satisfied and energized until the next meal. Even better is that it contains 10 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and only 190 calories, 3 grams of fat, and 6 grams of sugar. Because of the low sugar content, they  aren't the best tasting meal replacement bars I ever had but overall I like them and would recommend them as a healthy alternative to other meal bars.
