RECENT EMPTIES!!!!

Theres this thing some bloggers and vloggers do where they show beauty and bath products they've recently finished. In showing these items they also include mini reviews SO I decided I wanted do a post. I have finished more products but to keep this post short and sweet I saved just a few that way I can give you my opinions on them.

1.............2.....................3.............4..................5...........6.......

1) NIVEA IN SHOWER BODY LOTION- I got the one for very dry skin and honestly I didn't think it was all that special. I loved the scent but I didn't feel moisturized after using it. I even added oil and glycerin into the bottle but still didn't think it worked well.

2) OLAY QUENCH PLUS FIRMING BODY LOTION- I actually loved this lotion, can't say I noticed firming though.  It was a light feeling moisturizer but did leave my skin hydrated and even had a slight shimmer to it. I would absolutely re purchase but unfortunately its discontinued. 

3) TRADER JOES ORGANIC COCONUT OIL- love this and have purchased it over and over again. I love coconut oil for my skin and hair and specifically love getting the trader joe's brand because its the cheapest organic one I've found. Its a light oil that leaves a beautiful sheen yet doesn't have a strong scent.  I can add it to moisturizers without it changing the scent, and its light texture makes it a  go to everyday hair moisturizer. 

4) ALPHA HYDROX  SILK WRAP BODY LOTION- This was my first time trying this lotion and I liked it. its a glycolic acid based moisturizer, which was supposed to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and I found that it did. I also thought it was quite moisturizing for something containing an AHA. I used it up rather quickly because  I liked it so much and will get another bottle. (beware if you have sensitive skin since it contains an acid)

5) GNC WOMAN'S ULTRA MEGA ENERGY & METABOLISM supplements- I loved these when I first got them. They are decent supplements with tons of great minerals and vitamins all in two caplets. After while I cringed when I took them because of the scent. I don't know if I will get them again because  I hate the smell so much. 

6) PAULA'S CHOICE SUNCARE extra care non-greasy sunscreen- I loved this for a while, its a great  unscented straight to the point sunscreen. This one has SPF 50 its broad spectrum and can be used on face and body. However i will admit it does leave me shiny I will continue to repurchase regardless.

1...........2......................3..........4..............5...........6

1) WOMEN'S ROGAINE- I purchased this when I was experiencing extreme shedding. I wasn't sure of what to expect but I think it was a mostly positive experience. It does work to rebuild areas that do normally have hair. The only draw back is that it made my scalp really dry and flaky, I would repurchase.

2) COPPERTONE CLEARLY SHEER FOR SUNNY DAYS- This has an SPF of 30, I used this sunscreen on my body all summer long. I didn't experience any negative reaction despite this being scented.  It worked out well I wasn't left with a white caste and the smell subsided after I had it on. I would purchase it if I wanted a sunscreen other than my usual (probably won't happen anytime soon).

3) COPPERTONE SUNSCREEN CONTINUOUS SPRAY- This has an SPF of 50 and it was quite oily plus it had a high alcohol content, because of this I pretty much only used this on my legs and feet. It also had fragrance. I liked the convenience of it because it was really easy to spray on and did leave a nice sheen. I don't know if I would repurchase but if I did it would only be in the summer specifically for my legs. 

4) PAULA'S CHOICE CLEAR ANTI REDNESS EXFOLIATING SOLUTION- This was a toner that contained salicylic acid which is why I bought it. I used it for acne of and on whenever I had a breakout or thought I felt one coming. It doesn't eliminate pimples but does help. I will repurchase. 

5) LADY SPEED STICK- I bought this in a two pack right before summer began because I knew I'd need something stronger than a natural deodorant during the warm months. I thought it worked just fine and I have no complaints. I am tired of the scent now but I still have another one to go through. Its a cheaper deodorant that works so yes I would repurchase. 

6) PAULA'S CHOICE REDNESS RELIEF TREATMENT- I bought this to use after shaving my under arms and inner thighs. I don't know if it made a huge difference in that regard but I did enjoy using it as a facial toner. I probably will repurchase just don't know when.

HEAD & SHOULDERS MOISTURE CARE REVIEW

SO as a member of BuzzAgent I received the new  Head & Shoulders Moisture Care  line to try and I must say I am over all completely satisfied with the performance. Prior to trying this line I used another very popular blue dandruff  shampoo and this one has it beat. Pyrithione zinc is the active ingredient in the wash and conditioner and it worked well to keep my itchiness and dandruff at bay.  It not only left my hair feeling clean and soft but it smelled great, days after washing my hair I still had that freshly washed hair smell. 

 These were the three items I tried from the line:

                                               

•      Heres a pic of the 7 product benefits on the back of both the shampoo and conditioner:

The Head & Shoulders Moisture Care  2-in-1 shampoo is also part conditioner and  is infused with vitamin E,  Almond oil and coconut essence. The fusion of the two left my hair clean but it wasn't at all dry feeling. I have Locs (also known as dreadlocks) and its hard to find a shampoo that will foam up upon first wash while cleaning it and this performed well.

The Head & Shoulders Moisture Care Co-Wash is the conditioner also contains vitamin E, Almond oil and coconut essence and can be used after washing for more manageable moisturized hair. Since I don't have loose hair my area of focus was on how soft if would make my hair feel and this did leave my hair soft and moisturized. Side note although it says co-wash the directions do suggest that it be used after washing so I would consider this a legit conditioner and not a co wash conditioner. 

The Head & Shoulders Moisture Care Scalp soother I'm a bit on the fence about, its formulated with peppermint oil and vitamin E and gives a really cooling effect on the scalp. Its supposed to give itching relief and moisture in between washes.  I don't know if it really added moisture since it contains alcohol. I found that it felt great on a dirty scalp and the peppermint did sooth itching. However on  freshly washed scalp it felt painfully cooling and came off as too harsh. This one I would say needs to be used with caution. 

 Heres a pic of my dirty hair before washing:

Heres after a washing session using the new Head & Shoulders Moisture Care line:

You can get these practically anywhere there at drugstores, target and various online stores with prices ranging from 4 to 7 dollars so its a steal. 

**Although I did receive these products as samples to try from bzzAgent my opinions are absolutely my own and honest ones.
