Update and BzzAgent Lysol® Touch of Foam™ Antibacterial Hand Wash

Okay, I am officially a very bad blogger. I just don't know how people keep up with all of their unboxing blogs when they have so many! I actually tried to get caught up the other day, but then my computer was being stupid and not uploading the photos so I gave up...

Anyways, I have become overwhelmed with products so I've actually cancelled several subscriptions and have only  a few remaining. Here's what's left;

(Note;for my birthday my husband and my in-laws got me some subscriptions, I've noted which those are)


SeasonsBox; Subscribed for three months, then found out the three month sub auto renews to another three month sub. I ended up keeping it, but will likely cancel after this current 3 months.I skipped the May box, so my three month sub now ends with July unless I skip again.

Pawalla; My May box is on it's way then I'm cancelling

Love with Food; I paid about $2 for April and $2 for May, once May comes I will likely cancel, although I do enjoy this subscription

Julep- May was my first real month and I loved it! I also loved the secret store, I bought a box in May because they offered me 750 jules for taking my first month. I've got A LOT of polish so I may have to skip the upcoming month but I'm really loving this subscription


FabFitFun; I have a free summer box, we'll see what happens after that

These ones were gifts....
 
TwistBand Club;  My husband got me a three month sub for my birthday, I love these twistbands!
 
TheFancy.com ; My husband got me a subscription to this for my birthday, I got my first box and it was okay, but not for full price. They sent me an iphone armband and we don't have iphones, I e-mailed to express my disappointment that they didn't look at my preferences and they sent us a $15 gift card, I'm going to use that and a coupon to get The Fancy Box Food Subscription



PantyFly-My husband got me a three month sub for my birthday, we've already cancelled so it doesn't continue. The first package was okay, he ordered me mediums but I found the one pair to be pretty small, the other two were okay but didn't seem like mediums I'm used to

HungryGlobeTrotter- My in-laws got me a 6 month subscription to this international food of the month club and so far it's been great. I've only gotten one box, but we used everything in it and it was all yummy!

My husband also got me a three month subscription to ConsciousBox, not knowing I had already purchased one for $1. I received my April box a few days before my birthday, when we saw how bad it was, he quickly asked to cancel and get a refund, which they did thankfully.



On to BzzAgent. As you know, BzzAgent is a word of mouth site that sends members free items to try out and then tell friends/family all about. I LOVE BzzAgent! Recently I received a full size Lysol^® Touch of Foam^™ Antibacterial Hand Wash. First off, I love foaming hand wash, I think it lasts so much longer for some reason. This time my kit came with coupons, which I handed out at work.

I was excited to try this, as I imagine it's cheaper than the Bath & Body Works soap I currently have.

The scent was "dreamy vanilla" and it reminds me of Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Scent. The scent is not my favorite, but if you like it, it definitely lingers after washing your hands.

I enjoyed the handsoap, although I don't note anything special about it compared to other brands. Unfortunately we won't be purchasing this, as for some reason my husband found that it really dried his hands out, to the point where we had to have two soaps out, one for him and the other for me.

We just got my next BzzAgent kit for Amdro Powerflex Pest & Weed System and my husband is super excited to try it out, this weekend is his birthday so it came just in time (he loves gardening etc).

FabFitFun Inaugural Spring Box

Have you all heard of the FabFitFun box? It's a new beauty subscription box with Guilliana Rancic that includes Full Size Products, The Seasons "hottest trends" valued at over $100. The subscription is quarterly, and comes at a cost of $49.99.

I was really excited about this subscription, there was a $10 off coupon so I snagged it for $39.99 and they had announced that everyone would receive a full size bottle of Moroccan Oil, so you're at least getting your moneys worth.

Prior to signing up I saw several bloggers do "openings" in which they receive Butter London Nail Polish, a Go Smile Whitening Pen, Josie Maran Lip Stain and a Jewelmint Star Necklace. Unfortunately this was not the box everyone received, in fact there were at least 12 box variations and many of them included several pieces of outdated Jewelmint jewelry instead of the above listed items, I was one of those people.

Here's my box:

Inside was:

A full size bottle of Moroccon Oil

Think Thin Bar

Zoya Nail Polish

Mini Jouer Lip Gloss

Two pairs of Jewelmint Earrings

Jewelmint double ring

I've never tried the oil before and I really like Zoya nail polish so I was happy with those items. I personally only signed up for the Butter London and Go Smile pen so I was pretty disappointed. I reached out to FabFitFun, like many others and was offered the summer box for free. I really like the idea of quarterly subs, for both money reasons and for feeling overloaded with products, so I'm taking the free box and hoping it's better. There was an article I read that indicated the summer box would come in a summer/beach tote so fingers crossed!

BzzAgent Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge

I recently received a full size bottle of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo, Conditioner and the Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. I was pretty excited to try these because I've always liked Garnier products and was very excited to be getting full sized items of this brand to try out. I received these bottles of free of charge through BzzAgent which is a social marketing company where you can try amazing products and give your opinion on the products you receive/review.. Haven't heard of BzzAgent? Check it out: http://bzzagent.com/

As usual, I've always loved the smell of Garnier products and these items were no different.

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo: While this product smells nice, it has these "micro beads" which are noted as "a hydration innovation; the first to feature thousands of beads that burst on impact." I personally did not care for the bead feature. The texture seemed grainy and I didn't find that the beads made any real difference. However, I will say that my husband enjoyed this shampoo and noted that he thought it lathered really well.

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Conditioner: I personally did not find this conditioner to be any different than any other conditioner I've used, but the smell as usual was great. This makes sense as the description notes "contains superfruits goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to actively replenish without heaviness"

Hydra Recharge 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment: This is a 1 minute treatment that is described as "a powerful deep treatment whose revolutionary lightweight crème-gel formula transforms dry hair with a surge of high-performance hydration in just one minute." When I used this I used it in place of the conditioner because I didn't want my hair to be too greasy looking. While the smell was great and the texture was only very slightly thicker than a regular conditioner, I did not find the result for me personally to be any different than using just the conditioner.

Although I didn't find the products to be anything extraordinary, if they were on sale or if I had a coupon I would purchase the conditioner and/or 1 minute treatment. I would not purchase the shampoo due to the bead feature.

BzzAgent Neutrogena Cosmetics

I recently joined BzzAgent and have been really pleased with their activities. So far I've been invited to four campaigns and one of my current campaigns is for Neutrogena Cosmetics. For this campaign I received:

• Neutrogena^® MoistureSmooth Color Sticks for sheer, shiny color that continuously conditions lips.This was in the color Sweet Watermelon

• Neutrogena^® Healthy Lengths Mascara for 100% longer looking lashes, in Black

• Neutrogena^® Crease Proof Eye Shadows for 12-hour wear that instantly revives and brightens eyes, I received two of these in the colors Lasting Taupe and Constant Copper. 

This is an awful and awkward picture, but in this picture I'm wearing the constant copper eyeshadow and the Sweet Watermelon Color Stick.

I've always wanted to try Neutrogena cosmetics but had never purchased them. I must say that I LOVE the copper eyeshadow. It's a wonderful light color. The taupe is darker so I don't care for it as much. The Watermelon Color Stick is also nice, it has a nice scent to it and a lovely soft color. I also have a Revlon Color Stick which is a lovely consistency but the color isn't noticeable at all, making it sort of useless except as a moisturizer.

Thanks BzzAgent, can't wait to try out more products!

I'm also currently testing out Garnier Fructis Hydra ReCharge  Shampoo, Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment and have a Lysol Foaming Soap Campaign coming up!

Review- March Hammock Pack "Spa Day"

I received the March Hammock Pack on Friday, the last of my three month subscription. I won't be continuing with this subscription, but this months was my favorite of the three I received. This months theme was "Spa Day";

                                              Here's a look at everything that was inside

What was inside?

Aqua Blossom Lip Polish and Facial Steam; this is the papery looking item and the small box tied with ribbon. For the facial steam you boil hot water, add the contents and put a towel over your head to utilize the facial steam. The lip polish comes with a little wooden spatula and is in the flavor buttercream.

Dang Foods Coconut Chips; this is a decent sized bag of coconut chips, these were pretty tasty!

Good Cacao Superfood Chocolate (Coconut); This was a full size dark chocolate bar with coconut flakes on the underside. I don't usually like dark chocolate but the coconut was a nice addition and this has already been consumed!

Perennial Soaps Vegan Soap (Lavender); This is an adorably packaged full size soap, I had seen previews/hints on the facebook page for this and was hoping for the Eucalyptus one because my husband hates Lavender. I may use this in a birthday gift box I'm creating for someone.

Teatulia Organic Green Tea (6 bags); My husband and I both drink tea so it's always a welcome surprise. My husband had this this morning and didn't have any complaints.

Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Milk & Oat Bath; This is the packet with the yellow on it in the picture. Basically it's a bath soak. Our bath isn't great for taking baths so I may gift this in the birthday box I'm making as well.

I enjoyed the variety and amount of items in this box. Both food items have already been eaten and I'll likely be gifting some of the "spa" items. I calculated the cost and this one came out pretty even to what I'd spent ($30). All in all a good box, but not enough for me to resubscribe at this time. 

Review- March Season's Box "Spring into St. Patty's"

I received my beloved SeasonsBox this week! Lovely packaging as usual;

                                               Bad picture of the information card, sorry!

Here's what was inside:

                                           Ecoverse Compact Umbrella from ShedRain

                              Organic Gourmet Tea from Octavia; I received Irish Breakfast Tea

                                 Natural Incense Cones from Vance Kitira; I received these in Lime scent

                                               Dublin Mint Irish Soap from All Things Herbal

I've tried the incense and it doesn't give off a strong lime scent, but in general I like the smokey smell of incense. My husband has stolen the umbrella so that will go to good use. I was able to try the tea last night and it was much better than expected, as I tend to prefer fruity teas.

                                                       All in all another successful box!

Review- February Starlooks

I won a contest through MUT and was super excited, I never win anything!!

Starlooks was originally giving away a free box to 20 lucky winners so I was surprised when I saw I had won! I later found out that Starlooks had been so generous and had instead chosen 100 winners to receive boxes. They gave one box, which was either the October, January or February box. I looked at pictures of each box and had my fingers crossed for February since I LOVE pink makeup and SCORE I got February!

                                       This is what everything looked like when I opened up the box.

                                                                             Close up



Here's what was inside:

1. Starlooks  Lip Pencil in Tipsy--I don't really use lip liner but I'm open to trying it
2. Starlooks Infinity Liner in Princess Diaries--This is such a pretty color and can be used as a liner or an all over eye color
3. Starlooks Lip Gloss in Pink Oasis--This is very pretty on, a very pretty purple/pink
4. Starlooks HD Fluid Blush in Barbie.--Love this, you need only the smallest amount

Overall I was impressed with this box and if I wasn't overloaded with makeup right now I would probably sign up.
