Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets Review




Laundry for me is not my favorite chore but leave it to Purex to come out with something new and amazing making me eager to do laundry!

Before even opening up the box of Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets I could smell how amazing it was. I have 2 toddlers who are messy and spill a lot which means their laundry hamper gets filled up pretty quickly so I knew a laundry day would here soon. I usually add 4-5 dryers sheets but since Purex Crystals Dryer sheets have 3 times more fragrance in each sheet I only needed two. Even when I took the clothes out of the dryer to fold I could still smell the lavender blossom.



Don't think you can only you use Purex Crystal Dryer Sheets for your laundry because it really can be used anywhere you like to keep smelling fresh. A few ideas would be in your drawers, the bottom of the garbage bins, inside those smelly sneakers, under the bed, etc.

  • Reduce static cling
  • Provide 30 days of long lasting freshness
  • Repels pet hair and lint
There are two scents available which are Fresh Spring Water & Lavender Blossom. You can read more about them HERE

These Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets are my new favorite and what I will continue to use in my home!


The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Purex No Sort for Colors



Laundry for me is one of my least favorite chores. It's a long process which begins with sorting the colors from the whites and something I am guilty of skipping almost always! Now, thanks to Purex I won't have to feel bad when I skip this step. 

Purex No Sort for Colors has a  Anti Color Transfer Technology that traps loose dyes in the wash not allowing it to settle into other fabrics.



I tried the Purex No Sort laundry detergent first on my daughters clothes. As you can see in the photos there is red, pink and white all together in this load. Now, time to see if this detergent claims to do as it says.



When the clothes were finished washing I was pleased to see that the red pants did not bleed into the white shirt leaving me with a load of cotton candy pink colored clothes. The clothes also smelled wonderful and as much as I dislike doing laundry I love the smell of clean clothes.  

I like that this saves me a little time and will continue to use this Purex No Sort for Colors laundry detergent.

As we all know Spring is here so this past weekend I got started on my Spring Cleaning. I began by stripping all the beds, gathering all the laundry, and even taking down curtains and tablecloths so everything could be washed. The Purex Crystals are easy to use. The cap on the bottle is a nice measuring tool to pour the desired amount depending on your load size. After loading the clothes just pour a cap full onto the clothes and let the crystals do it's magic.



Each time as I walked back to the laundry room I could smell the wonderful scent which made my least favorite chore not so bad. Your clothes will smell Fabulously Fresh for weeks and it doesn't reduce the absorbency of towels. Purex Crystals Fabulously Fresh is a limited edition and because I like this scent so much I will make sure to pick up a few bottles to have for later use.

Viva Vantage #BreakUp4Better

Through Crowdtap I was chosen for a sampling opportunity and got to try Viva Vantage paper towels. I received 4 rolls - one for myself and three to share with family and friends.


I will admit that I usually buy whatever is on sale and most of the time it's either Bounty Basic or Sparkle paper towels. With two little ones I am constantly cleaning up messes and spills. My daughter accidentally spilled her chocolate milk so I quickly put Viva Vantage to the test.



 

As you can see the Viva Vantage instantly absorbed the chocolate milk after I set it down. With a few wipes and Voila it was clean and the paper towel still had a lot of use still left to it. When using my regular paper towels I would have used a lot more sheets to have gotten this same result.


My Thoughts:

These Viva Vantage paper towels are great! It combines stretch, strength and scrubbing power to them that other paper towels don't have. I also like that with these Viva Vantage paper towels I am able to choose the size I need depending on the mess.



After trying Viva Vantage I realize that it's better to spend a bit more and get a paper towel that will save me in the long run. I'm now #TeamVivaVantage

Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

A few weeks ago Influenster sent me this Boots Botanic Ionic Clay Mask in my JAdore VoxBox complimentary for me to review.


I was a little hesitant to try it at first because my face is super sensitive but I knew I had to in order to give my honest feedback and review.

I liked how quickly the mask dried after applying allowing me 10 minutes to sit in silence and relax. It was also very easy to wash off when the time was up.

I really liked this Boots Botanic clay mask and was very pleased with the results. My face looks brighter, clearer and is a lot softer after using it. It was even gentle enough for my sensitive skin and I had no issue with break outs or redness! 



A few tips that I have when using this clay mask:

  • Tie your hair up and secure any loose strands with a bobby pin or clip. This will help when applying the mask so it doesn't get mixed into your hair.
  • Shake the clay mask for about 10 seconds before applying. It will help mix it all up and you'll get a good consistency to work with. If you don't it will be runny when you pour it into your hands and it will cause a big mess.. I learned that the first time!
I'm very pleased with this clay mask and happy to have found a new product that I can trust. Thank you Influenster and Boots USA.

Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes


Recently I was selected for the J'Adore VoxBox from Influenster which I wrote about HERE. In the box was a set of Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes.

I was waiting for a special night to use these but couldn't wait any longer so I decided to test these out today. Once opening the package I read the instructions which were pretty simple and I was surprised at how easy the lashes were to apply because I thought I'd have a hard time.

I couldn't believe the difference in how my eyes looked after applying the Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes. Another thing I like is how light the lashes are. At first of course I could feel them but after a little while I forgot I had them on. 



I love these Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes and it definitely gave my eyes a pop.

Dial Deep Cleansing Moisturizing Hand Soap Review & Giveaway


New Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap was created by the Dial Brand to bring luxury to your hand washing experience. These premium soaps feature vibrant scents with a gentle micro-scrubber formula to help smooth and moisturize your skin. The sleek new bottle designs are rich with colors allowing you to display throughout your home.

There are three vibrant scents to choose from

  • Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar
  • Water Blossoms
  • Coconut Lime Verbena
I am a mommy with two toddlers so hand washing and preventing the spread of germs is a big deal in our home. Having soft hands has always been something important to me but constantly washing my hands causes them to be more dry.

I tried the Water Blossoms first which was a crisp floral scent inspired by aquatic botanicals. This soap was my favorite scent because truly it smelled amazing. As I washed my hands I couldn't help but to keep taking a few sniffs while closing my eyes imagining I was off somewhere in paradise. I decided to keep this one in my kitchen since this is where I wash my hands most.




Next, I tried the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar which has a tart and rich sweetness scent. This soap had a bit stronger scent but I still liked it.



I think both of these scents are amazing and I really like the micro beads because I felt like it was gently washing all the dirt away. Who knew hand washing could feel like a luxury? I also liked that these soaps lather so good. I only pumped once each time when washing my hands and that was more than enough.


I really want to try the Coconut Lime Verbena next!!

Now comes the fun part.. Three lucky readers will each win ONE coupon for a FREE Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap. Just enter on the rafflecopter below.
