Garnier Fructis Nourishing Hair Mask (with Coconut Extract)


Image Source: Google
Today I am going to review a product that I received a sample of from PinchMe. And this product is the Garnier Fructis Nourishing Treat Hair Mask.
I have always loved Garnier and have never tried a product from them that I didn't love the outcome of. In fact, most of my hair products that I use constantly are from Garnier. And this product is no different!
I found this product very interesting, because it can be used in several different ways. It can be used as a one minute mask, a conditioner or as a leave-in conditioner. I myself prefer using it as a leave-in cause I feel I get more benefits from using it this way. I have tried it the other ways but I do prefer using it this way for my hair; cause my hair tends to get very frizzy and this product helps to tame the frizz.
There are other types of this product that have different extracts but I quickly found that I prefer the coconut extract and my hair seems to agree, so I'm not about to argue with something that works.
The sample size that I received was 0.40 fl oz or 12 ml. And to put in perspective about how much product you need to use, I was able to use this sample size three times. My hair is just below my chin, not shoulder length but it is thick. But even with the thickness of my hair, I was able to use the sample three full times and I was pleased. So it really does go a long way if you apply it right. Because I have seen first hand that if you apply it more in one area over another, that area can get to looking a bit greasy; and that is something that I do not want for my hair.
The frizz control is great and works even in rainy weather, which is awesome. I can get two full days of this product and that works well for me cause of the schedule I have to wash my hair. I'm sure that if you use dry shampoo then you might can get another day out of the product but I personally don't like using dry shampoo.
The smell also lingers with your hair and it smells so good. Not overpowering at all which is great, just gives you that subtle coconut sweet scent that follows you around. It's kinda nice, really.
Well that's it for this review. Keep an eye out for the next one!

Until Next Time!

The Make-Up Eraser Review



I received a sample of the Make-Up Eraser, a one-time use piece from the normal larger. I wasn't asked to do a review for this product in exchange for this sample; it was something that the company was offering and I happened to be lucky enough to get a sample of it.

The cloth itself is so soft! However, they do say that since it is a cut sample it does shed fuzzies and is only a one time use thing; though it still removes all makeup just like the larger product does. The larger one is reusable for 3 to 5 years and will last up to 1,000 machine washes. It is also hand-sewn with satin edges so the product itself looks amazing! 



And if the full product is anything like the sample I received, I plan on buying it asap! Not only will I be saving money on buying make-up wipes over and over again for only one time uses but I'll be helping to cut down on trash. And one of the things about the Make-Up Eraser, you don't have to use any product on it; it only uses water! And I can be perfectly honest and tell you that it got all of my makeup off without any trouble, including my waterproof mascara. The cloth is so soft and feels amazing on the skin as well, which is a great plus.  

So all in all, it is well worth the money for sure! Also, if you can only get the original Make-Up Eraser at MakeUpEraser.com and the company was also nice enough to include a few coupon codes so I'm going to share them! 

FULLSIZE20 = Buy 1 Full Size Make-Up Eraser and get 20% off
FULLSIZE25 = Buy 2 Full Size Make-Up Eraser and get 25% off
FULLSIZE30 = Buy 3 Full Size Make-Up Eraser and get 30% off

Until Next Time

Garnier Whole Blends Legendary Olive Shampoo & Conditioner Review



As I stated in the previous, I have never tried a bad Garnier product. And the same can be said for this shampoo and conditioner that I received a free sample of from PinchME. 

It felt super moisturizing and made my hair feel silky and smooth. My hair wasn't greasy looking or anything, like it has been after I tried previous products that contained olive oil in them. So I'm pretty sure Garnier has got the formula right in their products. It smells so fresh and clean as well, not overwhelming at all.

I want to apologize again for such a short review but there isn't much else to say about products such as these other than to try them for oneself and see if you like them. 

Until Next Time

Garnier Moisturizing Bomb Face Mask Review



I can honestly say that so far I have yet to have a bad experience with any Garnier products. And this goes from shampoo to face wash. Their products go above and beyond any of my expectations; which makes me happy because I know that they actually care about their customers. 

This product I have been eyeing for a bit and I am so glad that I finally got to try it. The smell was amazing and it felt so amazing to use. My skin felt amazing after I put on this mask on after a day at a water park. It felt so moisturizing and relaxing, giving my skin some much needed moisture after spending hours in the sun. The mask itself is a good thickness and is completely saturated with a nice, cool product. The coolness of the product lasts the entire time you have the mask on and even goes beyond that after massaging the product into your face. 

There isn't much else that I can say about this product but I do encourage everyone to go out and try it for themselves at least once. You have to treat yourself!

Until Next Time

Goddess Garden Organics - Dream Repair & Face the Day Review



I received a free sample of this and once again, I find myself glad that I didn't pay for it because I was very disappointed in these two products. I don't go out of my way to look for products that are Vegan, mostly because I am not Vegan myself and the thought never crosses my mind. Oh, before I forget here are the full names of these two products: Dream Repair – Sun-Repair Night Cream and Face the Day – Sunscreen and Firming Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30.

The first thing that I noticed about these two products was the smell. They smelled awful to me! They had a strong burnt plastic smell to them that was stomach turning but I somehow I managed to push through it to try the products. I wish I would have stopped then. Both products were overly sticky feeling and left my skin feeling dry and chapped. It might just be my skin in general not liking the product but it just wasn't working for me. 

Now I don't want to stop anyone from going out and trying it, nor am I saying that anyone who likes it is wrong. This is just my honest opinion for how I felt about these two products, so I don't want anyone to think that I am coming off as mean and whatnot. 

Until Next Time

Aussie Mega Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner Review



This is a shampoo and conditioner set that I decided to try because it was on sale and I had a coupon for it. I am always on the lookout for products that I haven't tried and if it works out that I can either find them on sale or get a coupon for them, it's all the better. 

I found these on a shopping trip to Dollar General and thought why not try them. It was the beginning of summer and my hair gets super dry due all the humidity that we have where I live. And I don't really want my hair to look dry and damage, so I thought I would give it a shot.

I wasn't disappointed with it at all. After just one wash, I noticed that hair looked more moisturized and lively without looking frizzy at all. That's a big deal for me since my hair is not only naturally thick and curly but at the slightest bit of humidity in the air, it frizzes up to the max and it is a complete pain. 

Most people can pull off the frizzy hair look; I am not one of them at all. So when I find a product that can ease the frizz, I will hoard it like a dragon guarding gold. So if you're looking for a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, I highly recommend this one.

Until Next Time

Dove Permacare Scalp Invigorating Mint Review



This is hands down the best anti-dandruff shampoo that I have ever tried! I used to use Heads and Shoulders but it just wasn't working the same way anymore. I have tried products and tried products with no luck at all. I came across this product in my local Dollar General and decided to try it; I mean it was sale so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. 

I am so glad that I did! This stuff smells amazing and the scent lasts for a couple days after washing it. A little goes a long way and since it has conditioner already in it, you don't need to worry about using conditioner, so it cuts down on your shower time. 

I will use this product in rotation with my other shampoos and conditioners. I find that my hair behaves more when I don’t stick to one shampoo/conditioner too many times in a row. I use this product about once a week and it has worked wonders on controlling my dandruff. So good that I don't even have it anymore! I am so happy for that because it was really embarrassing to find flakes on my shirt or dresses. And let's be honest, no one wants that at all. 

I also would like to apologize for these short reviews but in all honesty, I really don't have a lot to say about the products that I've been trying out. Mostly because I want my readers to go out and try them on their own to see if they work for you as they have done for me.

Until Next Time
