Purex Fabulously Fresh Crystals

It's no secret that we all want our clothes to continue smelling nice weeks after washing it. Thanks to Purex it can happen. New Purex Crystals Fabulously Fresh is a limited edition bringing a fresh sensation to your laundry experience.


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.

To celebrate the release of the New Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh, Purex will be hosting a Sweepstakes. One grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a year's supply of Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh.

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.

Influenster J'Adore VoxBox

Influenster has once again picked me to get a voxbox and this time it's the J'Adore VoxBox which is filled with a bunch of goodies as you can see below!! 



Upon opening the box I see a package of Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes which I have been wanting to try for a little while now. I think on a upcoming date night with my husband this week I will give these a try!


One of my hair concerns with all the humidity where I live is frizz so I was super excited when I saw a bottle of John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray. I can't wait to try this and see if it really works!


I love drinking tea and I usually have a cup each night before bed but it's always the black tea. These Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas sound amazing. Seriously, how can you go wrong with Créme Caramel?


I don't know the last time I used a face mask but after reading the back of bottle from The Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask I''m looking forward to seeing a clearer, softer and smoother skin.


I will be honest here and say I was secretly most happy about receiving the Hershey's Kisses and a whole entire family bag!!! These have always been a big hit in our home so I already know how much we'll enjoy them!


Lastly, I think it was pretty awesome that Influenster didn't forget about the men in our lives when they included the Vaseline Men Spray Lotion. I have seen the commercial of the young woman quickly spraying seconds before getting dressed and have wanted to try this.. Lucky for my husband he will get to try it before I do!



So, there you have it. These are the products I will be testing out in the next few days. I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts on each of these.

Purex Fresh Mountain Breeze Crystals


I was recently given the chance to try Purex crystals in the Fresh Moutain Breeze. My first thoughts were I could smell how amazing the scent was and looking forward to doing laundry which is my least favorite chore.

Gathering up a few loads I headed to the laundry room and began filling the washer. 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 so it's magic.



After washing our laundry I did notice that the clothes smelled wonderful and I couldn't stop sniffing everything.

Purex crystals are 87% natural crystals that go in at the beginning of the wash cycle so they spend more time with your laundry infusing them with long-lasting freshness. The natural formula is safe for your family and the environment, and it does not reduce the absorbency of towels.

There are a few different scents available to choose from which include Fresh Spring Water, Tropical Splash, Lavender Blossom and Fresh Mountain Breeze. The newest is Purex crystals for baby which I would love to try also.

To help celebrate the NEW Purex Crystals, the Purex brand is hosting a sweepstake. There will be a grand prize winner who will receive $500 and 100 second prize winners will receive a coupon for a Free Purex Crystals. Eneter HERE
