Vaseline Spray 'n Go

I have been using Vaseline Spray 'n Go Moisturize for a while now and have really been loving it.  I love a moisturizer that you can spray!  It's so convenient and easy to use! It comes in three fragrances, Total Moisture, Aloe Fresh and Cocoa Radiant.  I will surely try all of them.  

What I really like is that it sprays onto your skin and it rubs in so nicely!  It's not greasy and absorbs so quickly.  You can put on your clothes right after you rub it in and doesn't leave your clothes sticking to you.  It has a nice light fragrance.  It leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.  I really like using this moisturizer too at bedtime.  It absorbs into my skin and doesn't leave any stains on my sheets.  Check them out and get you some!!

I received the Total Moisture complimentary from Influenster in their Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox and I am currently entering a brand challenger for a chance to win a prize!!!

Influenster Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox

Sugar 'N Spice VoxBox

from

Influenster!

I was really excited to get selected to receive Influenster's Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox! All the products in this box were sent to me complimentary for my review and feedback. I was pretty excited with the products that I received and started using them right away!

Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes

I really like using Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes. I will look forward to using these in the summer when my face tends to get oily at times. I like that they are 100% natural and it gently removes oils and impurities. I like the way my skin feels after using them. Witch Hazel is a plant that has healing properties and it is claimed that Native Americans used it in the 16th century as a topical healing solution. So it seems to have some credibility for a few hundred years! I noticed since it is from Witch Hazel that the fragrance of these towelettes are are a little "organic"!

Also I received five $2.00 coupons to share!

Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer

I really love Vaseline's Spray and Go Moisturizer! I was really excited to get this in my Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox! They make reference to use it before getting dressed in the mornings. Myself I prefer to use it at bedtime. The reason why is because its non greasy and won't get on my sheets. The other reason I use it at night is that it has a nice fragrance, but I feel the fragrance would interfere with my perfume during the day. None the less it feels really nice on my skin. I love that it sprays on and it gradually soaks in leaving my skin feeling soft. I have the Total Moisture that is infused with oat extract. It also comes in Aloe Fresh, infused with pure aloe, and Cocoa Radiant, infused with pure cocoa butter. I will definitely be checking out one of these!

belVita Breakfast Biscuits

I have had the belVita Breakfast Biscuits before and really liked them. They are great for a quick breakfast snack on the go for a hurried morning. I got the Cinnamon Brown Sugar this time. The package had 4 pretty good sized biscuits. When I had mine this time I had it with a cup of tea while checking out my Influenster on my iPad. I liked that they are natural. I cracked up at what was printed on the package. It states it has "natural flavor with other natural flavor"! Which to me sounds redundant! The biscuits seem to have done the trick! It's nutritious sustained energy with 19g whole grain per 50g serving.

Nectresse

Nectresse is something that I'm not real thrilled about in my Sugar 'n Spice VoxBox. I'm not a big fan of Nectresse or any other kind of sweetener. It's made by Spenda. It's stated as being natural and made from monk fruit. To me any kind of sweetener besides sugar leaves a nasty aftertaste in my mouth and I can barely swallow or drink it if put in tea or anything like that. I'm sorry Influenster but I'm not in love with all the products I received, and only because of this particular item. I'm going pass this on to someone who said they would like to try this.

Colgate Optic White Regimen

I was really excited to get Colgate's Optic White Regimen! I have never tried any kind of teeth whitening regimen product before so I was really looking forward to seeing if it does what it states it will do.......brighten teeth in a week!

The first product included in this regimen is their toothbrush. I really love this toothbrush. It's really different from other toothbrushes. Mine is soft bristles and I use this type of toothbrush. I tend to put too much pressure on my teeth with a toothbrush. The bristles on this toothbrush are amazing! The toothbrush is designed to hold toothpaste better and effectively remove surface stains.  It has polishing bristles that help whiten teeth by polishing away stains and clean hard to reach places.  It also has a tongue and cheek cleaner that helps remove odor causing bacteria.  When I first used this tooth brush this feature really irritated my mouth.  It made the insides of my cheeks sore.  I always use the bristles of the toothbrush to clean my tongue.  I really am liking this toothbrush!  It really makes a difference in cleaning and whitening my teeth.  

The toothpaste is really great.  I noticed after using it for a week, along with the mouth wash, that it really did whiten my teeth.  When I stated the regimen I was going to take a before picture of my teeth but I totally spaced it off and didn't get it.  I was really disappointed that I didn't get it to compare a before and after results.  The toothpaste has an exceptionally really cool fresh mint flavor to it compared to normal toothpastes!  It's really refreshing.  You can feel it working on your teeth.  I normally don't use a toothpaste with fluoride in it.  It states it's safe on enamel. I really did like the toothpaste and the effect that it had whitening my teeth in a week!

The mouthwash that was also included in the regimen worked really great.  It was really intense though.  I have never used a mouthwash that was so overwhelming.  It claims that it reaches places that is hard for a toothbrush to get to.  You use it after you brush you teeth and you are suppose to rinse your mouth with it for 60 seconds.  The mouthwash was so strong that I couldn't keep it in my mouth for that long.  When I first used the mouthwash it literally burned my mouth because I had bit the inside of my cheek and it was so sore to rinse.  I built up to the amount of time to rinse, but it was still really hard to do that.  This is a really powerful mouthwash, even so that you have to be extremely careful not to swallow any of it.  Finally I was able to withstand that rinsing.  It bubbles up quite a bit, especially when you spit it out into the sink of running water it really foams up!  But it did the trick along with the toothpaste and did whiten my teeth!

Here is a picture of my teeth after using this regimen.  My teeth will never be the pristine dazzling snow white teeth like I'd love for them to be, but they are definitely whiter than when I started.  I am very happy with the results of this teeth whitening regimen from Colgate! 

Colgate Optic White

I received Colgate Optic White toothpaste, mouth wash and toothbrush complimentary from Influenster from their Sugar 'n Spice Voxbox just recently and started using it immediately! I wanted to see if it actually does do what it claims - that it whitens teeth in 5 days.

The first night that I used this regimen my mouth was very sensitive to the toothpaste and even more so to the mouth wash. I used the toothpaste with the toothbrush. I really like the toothbrush. The bristles are very soft but brushes my teeth without being hard on my gums. Many other "soft" toothbrushes seems to make my gums bleed, but this one seemed very gentle. What I didn't like was on the backside of bristles in the brush it is textured which rubs the insides of my cheeks. This really irritated the skin in the inside of my mouth.

The Optic White toothpaste was very refreshing! Using their brush with this toothpaste really did the trick. It made my teeth feel very clean and my mouth refreshing! It has a very minty flavor and leaves your mouth feeling extremely fresh and cool, well cold!

The next step is to take their Optic Fresh mouthwash and rinse your mouth for 60 seconds. The very first time using it my mouth was so extremely sensitive that there was no way I could withstand even 10 seconds of the mouthwash in my mouth. For one thing I just recently bit the inside of my mouth and it was so very sensitive that I had to immediately spit the mouthwash out. The other thing was the backside of the toothbrush also irritated the inside cheek of my mouth. The mouthwash foams also when it comes in contact with water. I was pretty fascinated when I rinsed out the cap out under the faucet. After using the mouthwash for several days I was able to tolerate it better and the amount of time rinsing my mouth increased. The coldness of my mouth after rinsing was very intense. So much so that sipping water to finish rinsing felt like taking an ice cube and just shoving the whole thing in your mouth and closing your mouth!

After using Colgate Optic White regimen for a week now my teeth are whiter than when I started. I can see a difference. The thing is, my teeth will never be the beautiful Snow White teeth like the celebrities have, but at least they are whiter than they were before using this for a week.

GlossyBox January 2013

Got my February Glossy Box.  I was waiting around for my box to come.  I got notification that it was shipped, and it kind of slipped my mind.  So when I did think of it again I went online to check the status and it said it was delivered several days prior. So I got on the phone and contacted our post office.  They came and checked out locked box and sure enough they didn't put the key in our box to access the package box that my Glossybox was in.  Anyways, here's what came.

Like usual it came with their Glossybox Mag.  Always filled with beauty and fashion tidbits.  Also there's a great article on Bunny Meyer of grav3yardgirl on YouTube.  I just adore her.  She's really different, and that's what makes her so unique!  She's got the bluest eyes I've ever seen.  Check her out on YouTube if you get a chance.  And while you're at it too check out my channel littlebitofbeauty050 where I do unboxing of monthly subscriptions and also product reviews, oh yeah and my little Chihuahuas also have a part in my channel too with their own unboxing of their monthly pet subscriptions!

 This month's theme was "The Man Repeller".....which I'm still trying to figure out what the products in the boxes have to do with the theme!

Julep's February Box

I ended up canceling my monthly Julep subscription because the polish didn't stay on my nails. I have thin, weak and brittle nails and as soon as my nails touches water and softened up the polish started to come off. My last order from Julep I did end up getting their base coat, which I hadn't been using. And I did read someone's comment about their polish coming off and the only way it stayed on was with their base coat. So I tried it and it did stay on! So I re-subscribed to Julep!

The month of February had the theme of Hollywood actresses. When I re-subscribed I was expecting an email to tell me to make my selections, and didn't get one. I did get a notice though that my box had shipped! So I was kind of excited but kind of leery that I didn't have control over my selections. But I was happy when my box did arrive! What I love about Julep is that not only do you get you nail polish selections, usually 2 or 3 polishes depending on they style of box you chose, but their boxes are themed for that month AND they include other goodies in their boxes!

Here is what I got in my February box:


If you are interested in using me as a referral, enter code 5042884 at sign up, and you can also get your first box for 1 cent by entering "PENNY" at checkout.

My style box was the American Beauty and it was full of extra goodies with a Valentine's theme.  I received two nail polishes in Joan (for Joan Crawford) is a raspberry plum with rose gold shimmer, and Sally (for Sally Fields) is an antique ivory cream.

It included two brand new products this month. Oxygen Nail Treatment is a new product for weak and peeling nails. It contains anti-aging plant stem cells and a UV filter to prevent yellowing. The other new item is Freedom Polymer Top Coat that is activated by natural light and has a unique polymer force field that prevents chipping for days. It has a quick dry formula that is 100% smudge free in 5 minutes!

They also included a cute little eyelash curler that is rather unique in shape and design. I used it once so far and it did the trick! It's flat design makes it easy to throw in your purse or lays flat in a shallow drawer. Oh and not to forget along with the Valentine's theme....the box had some pretty black and gold crinkle filler paper and a couple heart shaped chocolates.

Joan (a raspberry plum with rose gold shimmer)

Sally (antique ivory cream)

Resolution Cravebox

I signed on to get the Resolution Cravebox. You can choose to enter a drawing for the Cravebox that is currently available. I haven't been denied any Craveboxes, only my first. I was thinking that...."Wow this must be tough trying to get one!", but then I was notified that it WAS available and I could chose one if I still wanted it. They will have you also do a survey I GUESS to see if you are suited for the box. Boxes range anywhere from $10-$15 each. I'm thinking that I may only do one randomly now and then instead of choosing as many as I have lately. I got this one, The Dog Lovers Cravebox and the Teen Cravebox just within the past couple weeks. I really liked the Dog Lovers box and posted a YouTube video on it. My little female Chihuahuas loved it and they are so interactive in it.

Anyways more about the Resolution Cravebox. This box cost $15. To me it was a little high priced for what you get. Well except I did get a Mary Kay product that does make it worth while. I am not big on getting food in my box when I can go to the grocery store to get them.

Here's what was in the Resolution Cravebox:
1. Mary Kay Timewise Repair .5 oz volu-firm eye renewal cream
I love any kind of facial products and always welcome anything for they eyes - so I'm anxious to try this out! I haven't tried any Mary Kay products for a while. Mary Kay products are really good! I have been receiving quite a few Mary Kay products in the past few Craveboxes. Not complaining.....glad I have! They must have some deal lately with Mary Kay. I'm glad they are including them.
2. A&W TEN and 7UP TEN 12 oz soda cans each
I'm not a big soda drinker and I'm not a big fan of artificial sweeteners either. I guess what they are doing is putting a new product from this beverage company out there is why this is in the box. The A&W can states natural and artificial sweeteners while 7UP claims "Naturally Favored with Other Natural Flavors" which sounds redundant. They are only 10 calories per can, and one can isn't going to hurt, so I will try these. A lot of times the natural and artificial sweeteners leave a strange aftertaste in your mouth. I think I'll try the 7UP straight and the A&W in a float!
3. Perfectly Simple by ZonePerfect Limited Ingredient Nutrition Peanut Crunch bar - 1.58 oz
Haven't tried it yet but I do like nutrition/protein bars. Claims only 6 ingredients, 10g of protein and gluten-free. Anything with less ingredients that are more natural is OK with me!
4. SunRype Bars 1.3 oz each
Mango Strawberry fruitsource plus veggie 100% fruit & veggie bar
Blueberry Pomegranate fruitsource All Natrual 100% fruit bar
Strawberry fruitsource 100% fruit bar
Strawberry Mango Just Fruit & Grain 70% fruit & veggie/30% grains & seeds
**Haven't tried them yet....but will. I threw these in my nightstand drawer because at times when I'm getting dressed, or even before bed, I get a little hunger pain going on!
5. CocoaVia Daily Cocoa Extract Supplement 250mg Cocoa Flavanols Variety Pack
Unsweetened Dark Chocolate
Sweetened Dark Chocolate
Summer Citrus
Cran-raspberry
**I did try the Unsweetened Chocolate (a half packet) in my yogurt and it was pretty tasty! You can put the chocolate flavored packets in milk, hot or chilled coffee drinks, yogurt, smoothies and oatmeal. The fruit flavored can be added to your daily water drinking regimen, smoothies, unsweetened iced tea and yogurt. I think next I will try it in my hot cereal.
This is what they state on their product - "Heart, brain and eye health - even exercise performance - depend on a healthy circulatory system, which supports your total health. But as you age, your blood vessels may become less flexible and less able to expand when needed to keep circulation running smoothly. Cocoa flavanols are scientifically proven to help support healthy circulation by helping your blood vessels stay flexible and expand as needed, even as you age, With daily intake, the cocoa flavanols in CocoaVia help oxygen and nutrients reach your organs and tissues, to help you stay on top - today and every day."
6. Celestial Seasonings Metabo Balance Wellness Tea 2 / 0.14 oz each tea bag
Green Tea Supplement
* Helps support metabolism
* With green tea and garcinia cambogia
* Refreshing tropical grapefruit flavor
7. Pantene Pro-V Silky Moisture Whip
Moisturizer, styler, hydrate, coiffe
**I don't usually use these products, but that's why they are given in these boxes. So I will try. It is also in the Teen Time Cravebox.

I'm doing this on my iPad with the blogger app so it's not letting me put the above under each photo below. Sorry about that!
