Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin Care Products

As a member of BzzAgent, I was offered the opportunity to try and Bzz about Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser and Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizer Cream , which are hypo-allergenic, fragrance free, and made with 99% natural ingredients. Check out Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin on Facebook ! The first thing I noticed when I received the products was that the cleanser is a nice size at 6oz, but the moisturizer is quite a bit smaller at 1.8 oz. They have nearly no smell, just a slight hint of something that is indistinguishable to me, it's possibly cotton, as that is the image depicted on the bottles, but it is so slight a scent I can't be sure. The Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser is a wonderful soap- free cleanser. It contains natural extracts such as: Quillaja, from the bark of the Soapbark tree- to provide a natural foaming lather, Yucca- for cleansing, Cotton- to soften, Rice- to moisturize, and Aloe- to soot...

Mario Badescu Skin Care Products

I figured if all these celebrities , who could afford to use anything in the world, use Mario Badescu products, it wouldn't hurt for me to give them a try too. So, about a month ago, I filled out a quick questionnaire on the Mario Badescu website , and a few days later I received an e-mail that said "Thank you for your interest in Mario Badescu! According to our records you recently filled out our online skin care questionnaire. Based on the answers you provided, we've developed a full regimen tailored to fit your skin care needs.

I followed the directions in the e-mail and received a package with six of my recommended products a few weeks later. They were all nice sized samples that lasted me about a week. They came with a ...

John Frieda's Root Awakening Shampoo & Conditioner

Image Source: Extreme Couponing Northwest I received my sample of John Frieda's Root Awakening Nourishing Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner for dry hair from Wal-mart  a week ago. It was enough for 2 washes for me (my hair is short, but very thick, so depending on your hair length and thickness this number may increase or decrease). I can't pick out my favorite thing about these products! I just loved them! So lets start with the shampoo. The shampoo has a very unique smell, which was very soothing. I couldn't quite place the scent though without looking at the package, it is infused with natural eucalyptus and peppermint oil. These natural ingredients create a nice cooling sensation on the scalp, which is very relaxing. The conditioner is also wonderful! It too is infused with natural eucalyptus and peppermint oil, giving it that same wonderful smell and cooling affect. This is one of the thickest conditioners I've ever used. It's much like the co...

Hydroxatone- Moisturizer to the Stars

Hydroxatone's website [ http://www.hydroxatone.com/ ] promotes Hydroxatone as the "Official Skincare Sponsor of the Daytime Emmys." I believe that at an earlier time their website also said why, that being that it was given out in the swag bags at the daytime Emmys, though I can't recall how many times. I received two bottles of Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex with SPF 15 in the mail for a 1 Month trial. You can get this same trial via one of these Hydroxatone websites: http://www.hydroxatone.com/ (which I used) or http://www.tryhydroxatone.com/ . Their policy is if you don't like it send it back within the month (even if the bottle's empty) and they will charge you nothing. I gave one bottle to my mother, who's in her late 50's, and kept one bottle for myself. We both came out of the experiment with one complaint... It's to heavy. My mom thought it was okay for night use, despite it's heaviness, and kept using...
