#Aveeno Positvely Radiant #Review - Be #RadiantWithAVEENO

As many of you know I am an Influenster, my latest program has allowed me to test the new Positevely Radiant Collection for free. I received the Intensive Night Cream in the mail recently! 
Aveeno is best known for its natural health approach to beauty. This product has a Total Soy Complex and B3 vitamins that aids in getting radiant-looking skin with an even skin tone. Its goal is to obtain the 5 factors of radiance: it improves tone, dullness, brown spots, texture and blotchiness.

My kit also came with a night mask, since I have an 8 month old using this has proven impossible. My little one rips it off to see what it is. However using the cream has proven beneficial. 

My skin feels smoother and is brighter in the mornings. Instead of feeling sticky and appearing gray. I really enjoy feeling normal again. One thing I love is the very soft fragrance and non-oily application. Most evening or even day creams leave a sort of film on you skin, this one leaves your skin feeling soft and plump. I love using it right before bed because of this. I also feel a bit of a tingle when I first use it due to the softening of my skin. 

Are you looking for a bit of radiance in your life? Check out this new line from Aveeno and you are sure to find it! 

I rate this product a 4.5/5 - I have used it for less than two weeks so if any changes in my review occur I will keep you up to date. This is a high-quality product with a light scent that delivers excellent results. It has my stamp of approval. 

This product was provided by Influenster, my opinions are based on my personal experience. I only recommend products that I myself use. Thanks for reading!

#Carmex Flash #Giveaway - #Win a Hoodie and Carmex Healing Products


Is the extended winter drying you out? Maybe spring cleaning is chapping your hands? Or work just has your hands feeling tired? If so this review of Carmex’s Healing Cream and Healing Lotion is for you. I have had the privilege of reviewing both these great products. Also, as an added bonus I got a Carmex yellow zip up hoodie to keep me warm as the winter winds down.

As a blackjack dealer my hands often feel worn, dry and chapped. I have found many lotions are greasy and make my job harder that is why I am so excited about the Carmex Healing line. Both formulas are non-greasy, lightly scented and can be used daily.

Carmex Healing Lotion is complete with both Aloe and Vitamin E. I use it daily and it keeps my skin soft for hours. One thing I love is that you can wash your hands and they still feel protected and smooth. Most times my hands dry back out but not with this product.
Product Details

Carmex Healing Cream is great for tough cases. I use this on my heels to make them sandal, or since it is still snowing in Colorado, slipper ready. This fast absorbing formula has 9 healing ingredients that give the driest skin the moisture needed to smooth back out. You only need to use a small amount to get big results.
Body Creams

My lotions stay in my locker at work and keep my hands feeling great while allowing me peace of mind. I know I will not leave any residue on the cards I am using because of the fast absorbing, non-greasy formulas.

Check out Carmex on Facebook and Twitter today. To see the entire Carmex Family of Products go to their website!

I rate this product a 4.5/5. I love the price, and non-greasy formula of these Carmex products. These products are also easily available. I can get them at my local Walmart, which is perfect because I love one-stop shopping. My only concern is that although the scent is light, and I like it, many people (my customers) think it smells too much like Carmex’s medicated lip balm.
 

Win your own Carmex Spring Kit which includes a fun zip up hoodie, and full size tubes of both the Carmex Healing products reviewed above. Prize fulfillment provided by Carmex. This will be a fun flash giveaway lasting only 48 hours. Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter, the more you share the more entries you will get! One entry per person. 18 and up.
