Sweetly You Review

Sweetly You offers so many choices when it comes to bath and body, fragrance, gifts and hair care.  They offer so many neat products in tons of fragrance choices.  I actually have never seen so many fragrance selections.  There is definitely a fragrance that they carry that will make anyone happy.  I personally love fruity and sweet scents and found so many on their website that I wanted to try.

I received a sampler of 10 fragrances.  This is a great way for someone who isn't sure of the fragrance they want, but wants to test out a few.  These sample size are perfect for testing, but also to keep in your purse.  I like something small like this for on the go.  The perfume sampler scent can be purchased from their website for $9.95.  This is a very reasonable price.  These are fragrance oils.  I was pleased with how long the fragrance lasts.  I also noticed that I only needed a little bit to do the job.  I received the following fragrances in my sampler. . . 

Cherry Blossom

Coconut Lime Verbena

Green Tea and Cucumber

Strawberries and Champagne

Tropical Mango

White Ginger and Amber

Sweet Pea

Royal Pear

Sparkling Mandarin Tangerine

Red Currant

I want to say I love them all.  It's too hard for me to pick just one that I love.  I really like the Coconut Lime Verbena.  It's such a fresh and crisp scent.  I also love the Sparking Mandarin Tangerine.  This one has a really nice citrus fragrance that smells real.  It doesn't have that artificial scent to it.  I love the Green Tea and Cucumber.  There are just to many great scents!  I had so much fun trying them all out.  They also offer other fragrances too - Brown Sugar, Bubble Gum, Honeysuckle, Passion Fruit, Root Beer, Sugar Cookie and so many more.  What scent would you choose?

If you know what scent you want you can also purchase a larger container of their perfume too!

I would definitely suggest checking out Sweetly You for great perfume at great prices.  Use coupon code friends25 to save 25% off your order!

Harvey Prince Eau De Creme Review and Giveaway 3/16 CLOSED

I have been using Harvey Prince's Eau De Creme the last few days and really like the fragrance.  They say that this fragrance is a scent of summer.  The fragrance contains lots of warm summer smells.  It is said to have hints of passion fruit, vanilla, rum raisin and dark chocolate in it.  I noticed it is a bit fruity, but it's also got a little bit of a spiciness to it.  I also noticed that it had a little bit of citrus in it.  I love it.  This is a great fragrance to use during the colder months to get you out of that winter funk and bring a smile to your face.  The smell of the fragrance is uplifting.  This is something I'm going to keep with me in my purse!

About Harvey Prince - It was created by two brothers for their mother.  I really like that their inspiration is their mother.  They wanted to create high end fragrances, but not at high end prices.  They are cruelty free and their products don't contain any toxins.

Harvey Prince also offers many other fragrances as well.  They can all be purchased right from their website too.  I love the idea behind the Ageless scent.  This fragrance is made to make you "smell as young as you feel."  This is such a great idea.  I know I could definitely use that kind of uplifting feeling some days.

You can also connect with Harvey Prince on Facebook and Twitter.

Giveaway - One winner will receive a sample size bottle of Eau de Creme by Harvey Prince.  Open worldwide and must be 18 yrs of age or older.  Giveaway ends on 3/16/12 at 8:59 pm PST.  The winner will be chosen by random.org via the Rafflecopter form.  The winner will be emailed and will have 48 hours to contact me back to claim their prize.  The sponsor is responsible for sending out the prize.  You must enter on the Rafflecopter form for entries to be valid.

Zinn Beauty Review and Giveaway over $114 worth of skincare 3/5 CLOSED

Zinn Beauty offers an amazing line of skincare from Morocco.  The products are the only ones out there that are certified organic and contain Moroccan Argan Oil.  This is a great product for your hair, skin, nails and face.  I am new to the products, but I am really loving them.

Moroccan Argan Oil is used for it's great healing properties.  It is said to restore skin.  The product is something that many women in the US are not familiar with.  I just recently learned about it too.  I am really impressed with the short term results I have gotten from the product.  I've only been using them for a few days and my skin feels really smooth and soft.  I love using the products.  I do sometimes get acne breakouts and the Argan Oil is even good for acne prone skin.  It has healing properties, so it's also great for lines, wrinkles, dryness, cracking, scars and much more.  

There are 4 wonderful items in the Zinn Beauty line.  

The Organic Moroccan Argan Oil is a wonderful product.  I use just a few drops of it and massage it into my face.  My face feels so wonderful after I apply it.  Although this is oil, it doesn't leave my skin very greasy feeling.  It absorbs quickly.  This product can help reduce the signs of aging.  It's also great to use on your nails.  I love how shiny it makes my hair.  I ran my hands through my hair after I massaged some into my face and it made my hair super shiny, but not greasy.  It is also said to help treat split ends!

The Velvet Cleansing Mask is a great way to clean your face and not over dry it.  I love how this product made my skin feel really clean, but still kept it feeling soft and moisturized.  This contains Organic Moroccan Argan Oil, Shea Butter and other great ingredients.

The Smooth Body Milk is a great all over product to use to moisturize.  I use this when I get out of the shower.  This also gives my skin a super soft and smooth feel.  It helps heal and soften very dry areas.  I used it on my feet too and it really helped get rid of the dryness I get in the winter.  

The Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream is great to use morning and night.  I use this after I cleanse my face with the Cleansing Mask.  It adds extra moisture to my skin and makes my face feel super soft.  You only need a tiny bit and you simply massage it in.  

I would recommend the entire link of Zinn Beauty products.  I am so happy with how nice my skin feels and looks from them.  These are simple to use products and I'm excited to see the results over time!

Skintactix Clear Skin Challenge - Results!

I accepted the 30 day Skintactix Clear Skin Challenge and I'm going to share my results!  I previously told you all how I have had problems with my skin since I was a teen.  I have had a hard time finding a product that will clear my skin and not over dry it.  I think that's more something I need as an adult!  I now not only have to worry about the breakouts, but my skin tends to get dry when I use some products.

I have been very pleased with the Skintactix products for treating breakouts.  What did I like?  It's easy to use.  There are 3 steps to the kit.  The first step is to cleanse - then exfoliate and the last step is to use the Green Tea Poultice.  I love that my skin feels super clean and fresh after I use the products.  I like that this isn't a prescription.  You can simply order it from their website.  I like that it works to get rid of acne, but it also seemed to help me keep it under control.  I seemed to get fewer breakouts.  I like that they offer a few different kits and you can choose depending on your type of skin.  I really liked the sensitive skin kit that I received.  It worked really well to clear up my skin, but it didn't irritate it!  

So here are my results.  I don't have any makeup on, but I did that so you can really see results.
