Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Shampoo & Conditioner Review

Today I'm going to be reviewing Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Shampoo & Conditioner.

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks in order to get a real feel for this product and to see if it really would live up to its promises. Now while the results wasn't immediate, which I really wasn't expecting at all but rather it did take time for me to see results. But I'll say this I was rather pleased with the results when I started to notice them.

My hair has always been thick but it was never really strong and it didn't grow as fast as I would it to which is why I started to take Biotin so I can grow my hair out faster. With this shampoo and conditioner, I wanted to see if it would make my hair stronger and healthier; which it really did after some use. Now I wash my hair three times a week and it works for my hair because it doesn't get greasy as I don't use any other product in it except for smoothing oil every now and then. I mean I don't even use a hair dryer on my hair unless I have to. So for the past few weeks I have washed my hair using only this shampoo and conditioner waiting to see results. I began to see results about the second week and I liked what I saw. My hair was indeed healthier looking and I can tell that it is getting stronger because it doesn't break off as much as it used to before I started using this shampoo and conditioner.

So I do like this shampoo and conditioner and I will continue to use it along with the other shampoo and conditioner pairs that I use. I like to mix up what I use on my hair so that my hair doesn't get used to just one product over time. If you want to try it for yourself I do highly recommend it but then again, I haven't found a Garnier Fructis product that I don't like.

Until Next Time!

Dove Go Fresh Body Wash Cucumber & Green Tea Review

This is hands-down one of my all-time favorite body washes. Now it is a bit costly when you purchase it individually or at least it is for me at the stores that carry it near me. So whenever I purchase this, I buy it in a big 3 pack so I know that I won't have to purchase it as often and for me that can last me a couple months if not a bit longer; so I end up saving a bit of money which is always nice.

The scent is so fresh and clean smelling that I usually use this body wash in the spring and summer because the scent just seems to fit those seasons the best. But I still will use it throughout the year however because as I said it really is one my favorite body washes to use.

The formula is perfect for my sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out which is always nice. I seriously hate the fact that my skin can be so sensitive to products because there are several products that I want to be able to try but I really don't want to push my luck with them. But with this body wash, I don't have that reaction and my skin not only feels soft but moisturized. However I have started to notice recently that my skin will dry out if I strictly use this product for a couple weeks straight. So in order to give my skin a break, I will usually use a different brand of body wash for a few days and the dryness clears right up.

Now I know that this is how my skin personally reacts to certain products and that it doesn't reflect on the product itself so I don't want to deter anyone who has been looking to try this product out. I do suggest that if you want to try out this product then try the travel size first in order to see if your skin has any reaction. But it is for sensitive skin however some people have more sensitive skin than others.

AVEENO Yogurt Body Wash & Yogurt Body Lotion Apricot and Honey Product Review!

AVEENO Yogurt Body Wash Apricot and Honey
Just when I think I have found the perfect body wash, I try a new one and my world opens up again. Now I'm going to be honest, I didn't really expect much from this body wash but I was so wrong. When I first tried it, it wasn't the typical body wash that I have used and when I say that I mean the body wash itself was a bit thicker and more slimier if that makes any sense. So I used a bit more than I would usually do and boy was that a mistake! My loofah was nothing but Apricot and Honey scented foam! I know that I've said a little goes a long way but this statement really needs to be a staple with this product and printed onto the bottle itself. I also wasn't expecting it to be as moisturizing as it was but to my amazement I have never felt such a moisturizing body wash! I don't know what formula AVEENO has found that works like this but they need to keep it up. Just after using this body wash one time, I immediately noticed a difference in the way my skin felt. My skin has never been softer and I absolutely love it! This body wash really makes me feel like I've spent the day at the spa, being pampered and everything. Such an amazing feeling and product! It really makes me want to go out and try more products from AVEENO to see what else this company has to offer.
And the scent is amazing and lingers so sweetly on me, even after a few hours after I took a shower. It isn't a strong scent so if you have a sensitive sense of smell; I feel that this body wash is gonna be perfect for you. It is so subtle but yet you can still smell it. I can't help but wonder how long the scent will linger on me; I can't wait to find out.

AVEENO Body Yogurt Lotion Apricot and Honey
This lotion is just as amazing as the body wash. The formula is perfect, not too thick and not too thin. And the same statement can be said that a little does indeed go a long way because even with just a dab of this lotion covers a pretty large area. I was able to use just a small amount of lotion by dabbing my fingers onto the top of the lotion, and covered an entire arm without having to re-apply more lotion. The formula doesn't break me out and is so gentle on my skin which has been known to breakout from different types of lotions. I applied this lotion right after bathing with the matching body wash and they really are the perfect pair. The lotion just locks in the moisture from the body wash, while also adding it's own into the mix. I love being able to just sit here and get a whiff of Apricot and Honey; I can't wait to see how long this scent will last.

So in review, I love both of these products and I am so thankful that I was able to review these products.

Until next time!

Influenster Voxbox Review - Herbal Essences Voxbox

Hello and welcome to another Influenster VoxBox review! The Voxbox that I received from Influenster was the Herbal Essences Voxbox. This voxbox contained two products by Herbal Essences: The Hello Hydration Shampoo and the Tousle Me Softly - Let it Loose - Hairspray Fixatif. I will give my honest review on both products and please note that even though I received these products free for review, my thoughts and opinions are my own and are not influenced in any way. Now on with the review!

Now let's start with the shampoo. The bottle is a very decent size so it will last a long time even if you have long and thick hair like I do. From looking at the bottle, which is pictured in this post; one would think that the bottle itself is blue. That is not the case as it is the shampoo itself that is that pretty blue color which I loved. Now I will be the first to admit that when I opened up the bottle and smelled the shampoo, I was not fond of the scent at all. It reminded too much of sunscreen for my liking and I didn't want my hair to smell like that. However, I tried it anyway despite not liking the smell of it and I was surprised to note that the scent of the shampoo became more of a sweet coconut scent once I had some of the product on my hands. So I guess it was the bottle that made it smell like it which I am grateful for. Once I smelled the sweet coconut I felt myself be transported to what seemed like a beach vacation and it was amazing. The lather was perfect and as I stated before a little goes a long way. However, while it did help to hydrate my hair I still felt the need to use a small amount of conditioner. It could be because of the thickness of my hair, I am really unsure but I would suggest still using conditioner after using this shampoo. But all in all, it really is a great product.

As for the hairspray, I was pleasantly surprised by it. I don't like hairspray usually as it leaves my hair too stiff and sticky for my taste. Plus my hair is very thick and long, it seems to take more hairspray than normal. But to my honest surprise, this was not the case in this hairspray. Not only was my hair not stiff or sticky, it was quite manageable which was a big plus for me and made me want to share more about this product. Not only that but it doesn't smell like hairspray to me which is even more of a plus. I am happy that I was able to try out this product because now I have it when I need to use it. It also held up all day long and I was running errands for a good 8 hours or more and it held the style with no problem at all. So extra kudos for Herbal Essences for making such a great products.

Well that concludes this review. Thanks for reading and until next time!

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation Review

Hello!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation. I know that this foundation has been out for quite sometime but I've never been one for foundation, much less make-up because I just don't think it suits me at all. But I wanted to give this a try since I had an event coming up that I wanted to at least try to have make-up on and look presentable to say the least. So I took to the internet and looked up reviews for drug-store makeup and this one kept popping up pretty much everything; so I decided to give it a try.

I picked up a bottle from Wal-Mart, the shade that came closest to my skin tone was Shade 115: Ivory. To my surprise it was a perfect match so I was happy that I didn't have to lighten it because I know that sometimes my skin can be a bit lighter in certain areas of my face.

Now I will say that for me, a little goes a very long way because I don't really like to cake foundation on my face at all, I don't like the feeling of it and I'm always afraid that my dry skin will show up worse. However, that was not the case with this foundation. It went on smoothly and stayed on for the duration of the event which made me quite happy. Even though I don't wear makeup often, this type of foundation makes me want to wear it more often because of how well it worked for me.

I also have a problem with my pores, especially on my nose so I was afraid that it would make them more noticeable that what they usually are but nope; in fact I think it hid them pretty well. I also love the fact that this foundation doesn't make me look like I put wax on my face at all. And since it is very affordable considering I think I paid less than six dollars for my bottle, I know that everyone will be able to try this out for themselves. I highly recommend it and it makes me want to try more of Maybellines' products now.

That's it for this review! Until next time!

Suave Professionals Moisturizing Almond & Shea Butter Shampoo & Conditioner Review

This has got to be one of my top favorite shampoo and conditioner sets to use on my wild hair that is so hard to tame.

It really does a good job in not only smoothing it out but also keeping the moisture locked in so it doesn't look dead and dried out. Now I say that it is one of my top favorites but it's really not my all time favorite which is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine but I'm not here to review that as I'm pretty sure that I have already reviewed it.

But I really do like Suave Professionals as well; so while it's not a top favorite it is in my top 5 shampoo/conditioner favorites. I do find that the moisture doesn't stay locked in for as long as I like and after a few hours after washing I can already tell that it isn't as moisturized as it should be. But it really doesn't make me angry or disappointed however. This is because sometimes when my hair looks too moisturized it looks greasy and that just isn't a good look on anyone.

All in all I say that this is a great shampoo and conditioner. It is very inexpensive as I think I paid less than $7 for both bottles together so that's really not too expensive when compared to other products that do simliar things but cost at least 5x more. Which doesn't make sense to me for paying that much for a product but I've never tried any of those products so perhaps I am missing out on something that others see that I don't.

Until Next Time!

Amityville Horror & Amityville Horror The Possession Movie Reviews

Hello all and welcome to another horror movie today. Today is a special treat because I'm going to be reviewing two movies in one. Today I'm going to be reviewing The Amityville Horror (1979) and The Amityville II: The Possession (1982)

Both of these movies came out back to back so I was able to watch them without any interruptions which is fantastic. Now I don't want to ruin either of these movies by giving away spoilers, even though I'm sure that if you're a horror movie fan that you have seen both of these movies numerous times.

Personally I love the original Amityville better than I like the one from 2005 with Ryan Reynolds. Not saying that he isn't a good actor at all but I do prefer the originals when it comes to horror movies. I just feel like they can draw me in better than more recent horror movies or remakes of horror movies can.

One thing I can say about both movies is that they are very suspenseful and they set the perfect scene. The camera work on both films are simply amazing and they really make you feel connected to each character in the movie. The effects are also simply fantastic considering that both of these movies came out before advanced movie editing and in my personal opinion, both of these movies set the bar when it came to horror movies; along with The Exorcist of course which to me is in a league all of it's own.

I don't want to really spoil either of these movies because I want others to go and watch them; even if you've watched them before reading this review, watch them again! I mean they're classics and personally I don't see how anyone can not watch them.

Well that's it for this horror movie review! Thanks for reading! Until next time!
