ZzzQuil

A few weeks back I got a box from Influenster and in it was a small purple box. It was ZzzQuil.  It's supposed to be a nighttime sleep aid that is non-habit forming. I only received two pills so I don't know how I'm supposed to test that out. However, the one time I did need it it did the job. I've always had sleep problems so this did the job for when I needed it.

I'm not sure if this is readily available just yet but when it is I do have a $2 coupon that I intend to use. I'm the type of person who even though I have sleep problems I tend to let myself fall asleep on my own rather than taking something to aid in my sleep. Unless I have something important to do the next day.

TIP: For those suffering from some kind of insomnia a nice cup of warm herbal tea always helps me.

My Suave Addiction

I pretty sure everyone knows what Suave is. But no one really know what to buy because of the overwhelming amount of scents that they put out. This post is just going to a quick post on my favorite items from this brand.

**NOTE**
I don't have any actual photos as I don't normally keep items I've finished. Thus the stock photos.  All items mentioned are and were purchased with my own money.

My favorite products from Suave has to be their shampoo and conditioners. My three favorite scent would have to be Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple, Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut, and Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin. I've always used and loved the juicy green apple scent and I recently just found the Mango Mandarin scent.

I really like the tropical coconut scent too but I think the formulation to this scent is a little different from the other two scents. I notice that when using this particular shampoo and conditioner I have to wash out my hair really thoroughly or else I tend to have dandruff. Thus I found a different shampoo and conditioner with a very similar scent that doesn't give me dandruff. Also from Suave and it is the Suave Scalp Solutions Coconut & Shea Butter shampoo and conditioner.

However, if you have dryer hair and need a little more something to lock in moisture I would recommend the Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter shampoo and conditioner. This too is an amazing duo!

All of these can be purchased at your local Walmart or Walgreens at affordable prices which is why I've been a fan for so long. I like using the tropical coconut and the mango mandarin scents during the summer and the juicy green apple during the spring. I like rotating the anti dandruff shampoo with the tropical coconut so my hair doesn't get dandruff during the summer and I tend to use this scent a a transition into fall and winter. I find in winter though that my hair gets really dry and that is usually when I switch over to the almond and shea butter shampoo and conditioner.

Overall I am a Suave junkie! If you have any recommendations for other Suave products please comment down below so that I can try them too!

Luster NOW! Instant Whitening Toothpaste

I have a review for you guys today! It is on the Luster Now! Instant whitening toothpaste in the flavor happy mint that I received earlier last month. I know I originally said in my influenster unboxing video that I probably wasn't going to try this out but I had no choice as I couldn't get my husband to try it out in my place.

The two biggest claims on this product is that it is "instant whitening" and "formulated for daily use." My honest opinion for the "instant whitening" claim is that it is NOT true. Or at least it wasn't for me. However, it did whiten my teeth over a period of about a month. It did take a couple of days for me to notice but it slowly and gradually did whiten my teeth. I did on the other hand notice that since I began using this whitening product my teeth became more easily stained. This claim is not as great as the packaging makes it out to be but because of this it brings us to the topic of it being formulated for daily use.

I have rather sensitive teeth after getting my wisdom teeth pulled earlier this year. I noticed that with using this whitening product my teeth never once became more sensitive than it originally was. So yes I do wholeheartedly believe the formula of this product is fine to use on a daily basis.

The flavor of the toothpaste is in happy mint and I did notice that it isn't over bearing as some toothpastes can be. It isn't nearly as minty as the mint flavored Crest toothpaste which I hate. There is just the right amount of mint in this toothpaste for you to get that kind of fresh and clean feeling in your mouth.

A nice fun fact I thought I would mention is that the toothpaste is actually blue in color. When brushing my teeth the toothpaste foamed like no ones business and kind of stained my plaque. Making brushing easier and faster as I could tell where the most plaque buildup was. The staining affect actually reminds me of a childrens mouthwash that stains plaque blue that my nieces and nephews use.

Overall I think I would give this product a good 9 out of 10. It is affordable being only $7.99 for a 4 oz bottle and the product is actually not that bad. It isn't completely "instant whitening" but I do love the fact that it does whiten over time, doesn't make me teeth sensitive, and I can use it every day. This is available on amazon and if you would like more information on this particular item or other items Luster offers I will leave a link to Luster's website below. I hope this was informational!

GOT IT FROM INFLUENSTER

WorthAMention: Dr. Scholls For Her Ball of Foot

GOT IT FROM INFLUENSTER

I thought I would also mention these since I wore these on a recent GNO as I just recently blogged about. What I am talking about are the Dr. Scholl's For Her Ball of Foot inserts.

As you know I received these in my influenster something blue voxbox to test and I have been in love. I honestly don't know how I lived without these. I put these inserts into my heels and I feel no pain and I could if I wanted to dance the whole night away.

The part of the insoles that you put in to your heels are actually sticky so they don't slip and slide. They feel squishy and curve to your heels so you barely even notice they're there. The little grooves in them are actually really nice and almost have a massaging affect.

I would recommend these to anyone who wears heels on a regular basis. You could if you wanted to put them in a pair of wedges or anything with a little bit of height. You don't have to take my word for it being amazing but you should definitely check them out and see for yourself.

WorthAMention: Q-tips Precision Tips

 GOT IT FROM INFLUENSTER

I went to girls night out the other night and didn't get the chance to film a Get Ready With Me video but I thought I would mention these by themselves. They are the Q-tips precision tips that I used to fix and perfect my makeup look.

I did my makeup like normal and instead of using regular Q-tips I used the precision tips that were sent to me by Influenster. I like that these tips are pointy and get up underneath the eyes easier. It makes clean up a whole lot quicker. I really enjoy these and for any makeup addicts out there you may just want to try these out.

I am not sure how much the travel size precision tips are but for a 170 count pack it is $2.49. Obviously these can be purchased almost at any local drugstore. I hop these quick post was informative.

Palmolive® soft touch

 I mentioned a few blogs ago that I received my Influenster Voxbox that contained 2 Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquids. One with Vitamin E and the other is with Coconut Butter. I kept the Vitamin E for myself and gave the Coconut Butter dish liquid to my mom. Both of us have been enjoying them as they work amazing. It gets rid of the toughest grease and yet gentle enough on my hands. The subtle smell of the dish liquid is a plus.

 If you have received this Voxbox and haven't reviewed the product you can do that HERE! If you didn't get this in a Voxbox and would like to try it or purchase it you can go online HERE. It is also available at your local Wal-Mart. I hope you guys enjoyed this quick review and I will see you guys later!

What I Received In My Influenster Box!

 

GOT IT FROM INFLUENSTER

I've been waiting for this box for a few weeks now and it finally came in the mail! When I first got the invite from Influenster they called it the Featured May Dish Product saying I was pre-selected. I did the normal Influenster steps and I was selected as the...however many there were selected to be sent a box. I checked in my Influenster VoxBox and the official name for this VoxBox is the Palmolive soft touch.

I want to mention something really quick as it was disturbing to see when I received the box is that it was open. Not like it had accidentally been ripped open during the ride but as if someone had actually cut the tape to look inside. I am not sure if it was the mail man or if some one was trying to steal my mail. I am not sure but everyone in my household claims didn't open it. Anyway back to the box.

The two bottles I received are the Palmolive soft touch with Coconut Butter(left) and the Vitamin E(right) with their "New Formula". I have not used either yet as I will be giving one to my mom. My first impressions of the "Ultra Concentrated Dish Liquid" has not had my standards set too high since I am a major Dawn fan. My honest opinion when I first opened the package I thought the liquid was rather runny. The smells on the other hand are nice. The coconut butter one smells like coconuts with another kind of smell that I can't exactly put my finger on. On the other hand the vitamin E dish liquid caught me by surprise as it has a floral smell but with a note of citrus.

I actually like the Vitamin E one just a little bit more so I think I'm going to end up keeping that one and giving my mom the coconut butter. I can not wait to start using my new dish soap so until I post a review I will be seeing you all next time.
