Dove VisibleCare Body Wash – Renewing

September 26th, 2011

As the weather gets colder our skin starts to get drier from the cold dry air outside and overly heated buildings. Keeping skin moisturized can actually start with your shower. We like Dove’s VisibleCare Body Wash in Renewing because it doesn’t leave a film behind but leaves your skin feeling great. After trying this body wash we noticed we didn’t have dry and tight skin after showering. No more running to the lotion!

Contest of the Week – Lichi Super Fruit Products

September 21st, 2011

You may have seen advertisements recently for a new line of dietary products called Lichi Super Fruit.  They all feature the fruit lychee, which is known to offer health benefits such as antioxidants and weight loss. This week, Lichi Super Fruit is giving 2 of their latest products to 3 lucky Free Beauty Event winners (see our product reviews below)! To enter, just comment below with your best health tip.

Lichi Super Fruit Herbal Diet Soft Gels – These contain lychee, acai berry, resveratrol, cayenne pepper; and white, black, and green tea extract to help with appetite and weight. We didn’t see a drastic reduction in appetite, but our favorite feature about this was the energy boost. As promised we found that this product gave us oomph, but we didn’t experience the nervous energy that can come with some diet pills. One of our testers that diligently took this supplement every day saw a 3lb weight loss over the course of 6 days.

Lichi Super Total Body Detox – This is a 6 day system that flushes toxins and impurities. As a result, you lose excess weight and see an improvement in skin. This contains ginger root extract which is said to calm the digestive system; and dandelion, alfalfa, and slippery elm extracts to flush away toxins. You drink one bottle a day so it’s easy to use when you’re on the go. The bottle promises ‘no embarrassing side effects’ and we found this to be true. Many detox products work more like strong laxatives, but this one does not.

To find out more about Lichi’s product line, which also includes Lichi Super Fruit Meal Replacement and Lactospore Probiotic,  go to http://www.lichisuperfruit.com/home .

Three winners will be chosen by 9/28/2011 and notified by email 10/5/2011. U.S. residents only. Odds of winning are 3 out of number of comments on this blog post.

Fekkai Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner

September 20th, 2011

If your hair is super dry or damaged you’ll love Fekkai’s Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. We tried it and loved the scent! It also gave us the freedom to shampoo thoroughly without drying out our hair. And if you want to really do a deep conditioning, try the Fekkai Essential Shea Ultra Rich Mask. Try using it with a shower cap and sitting under the dryer for a very deep conditioning treatment. We also suggest these shea butter products for unruly hair – the rich formulas are very smoothing. These are great products for hair that needs repair, but if your main concern is volume you should look to other shampoos and conditioners in the Fekkai product line.

Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30

September 9th, 2011

It’s good to see that more anti-age lotions that are lightweight enough for oily skin are coming on the market. One of them is Dr Lewinn’s Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30. Protecting your skin against the sun is key, and this moisturizer has an SPF of 30. But  what we liked the most was that the formula quickly absorbed into our skin, and wore well under makeup. We expected a greasy look since this product emphasizes moisture but we got great results, even on our testers with more oily skin. Wrinkle Repair Daily Lotion SPF 30 is said to work by restoring skin structure so the surface holds on to more water. We saw younger, more dewy looking skin. But if you have deep wrinkles or creases you may want a heavier product.

Kiss Nail Artist Nail Art

August 29th, 2011

There are plenty of great kits that you can buy in the drugstore that allow you to make your own nail art. However, if you’re not artistically inclined or just don’t have a steady hand to do it, you can try Kiss Nail Artist Nail Art. We really liked the Expressionism set, in particular the black ones with the rhinestones. They are basically stickers that you place on your nails, and it looks like you went to the salon and got nail art. We really liked that besides the design the stickers were clear so you really can’t tell that your designs aren’t painted on. This is a pretty goof proof product and is easy to use. To apply, we suggest only putting designs on a few nails per hand for a more simplistic look.
