Clio palmperfect Review and Giveaway

Closed
Winner # 27 Jessica

You may recall a few weeks ago I posted a review of Clio's Hypergroom Body Groomer for men. Well it's only fair that I share one of their products for women with you as well.

The palmperfect Cordless Battery Operated Shaver. ($9.99)

First of all I just want to say I love the design of the palmperfect I received. I am a fan of the 1960's and this has a very cute paisley pattern in colors reminiscent of 60's style. It also comes in several other adorable designs. As the name implies this shaver is small and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. I should tell you this was my first experience with an electric shaver. I have always been hesitant to use one because of a fear that it would hurt. I don't know why but I always imagined one would pull my hair out painfully. I guess I just have a fear of pain in general. Let me tell you I was completely wrong. This shaver is painless and easy to use both wet or dry. It has replaceable stainless steel blades and runs off of 2 AAA batteries. It also has a string attached to it so that if you use it in the shower you can hang it up to dry when you are finished. This shaver works on underarms, legs, and bikini line and has a soft rubber grip that makes it very comfortable to hold while shaving.

This little shaver made the task of shaving my legs a lot more fun but unfortunately I don't think I got a close enough shave with it. I think maybe I need a little more practice with it. The palmperfect Cordless Battery Operated Shaver is also great for traveling! You can purchase yours online or in several stores nationwide.

Curlipop Review

The new Bed Head® Curlipops™ curling irons are sure to satisfy your cravings without the calories. The Curlipops™ line is comprised of three specialty curling irons with unique barrel shapes that create fun texture, loose curls, and waves. Each iron features Tourmaline Ceramic Technology, a clamp-free wrap and go design, high heat, and a heat protective styling glove for easy styling. The eye-catching swirl lollipop shaped packaging design coupled with the vibrant colored product is sure to put your hair on a sugar high.

I recieved the Candy Apple Red Hourglass Style in it's fun lollipop packaging. I was very exited to try this new curling iron because I am always trying to be creative with new hairstyles.

FEATURES

• Hourglass Barrel Creates Tight Curls in the middle and Loose Curls at the ends
• Tourmaline Ceramic Barrel
• Clamp-Free Wrap and Go Design
• High Heat
• On/Off Switch with “ON” indicator light
• "On” Indicator Light
• Rapid Heat Recovery
• Heat Protective Glove

Just a warning make sure that you are very careful when using the Curlipop, I had a little mishap while twirling my hair and I burnt my arm right below the glove. I now wear long steeves when I am using it. At first I had issues trying to curl my hair this but I have now gotten the hang of it and am able to look in a mirror and twirl the wand like an expert. I love my Candy Apple Red Hourglass Styler and I know you will too!

And here is my new look...

Nonni’s Biscotti Review and Giveaway

Closed
Winner #7

Nonni's Biscotti Bits are a great low calorie treat! My family and friends loved these. I first took the bag of Caramel Milk Chocolate over to play group, and they were a big hit. The size of these little cookies are great for kids too! The Classic Almond was great to keep in my car for a snack on the go and because it doesn't have the chocolate on it is a little less messy with the kids.  The Almond Dark Chocolate was my guilty pleasure that I kept for myself for my coffee in the morning. These are the perfect little treat for anytime of day.

Nonni’s Biscotti grew out of true Italian tradition. In the little town of Lucca, Italy along narrow cobbled lanes surrounded by elegant piazzas, our Nonni (an endearing term for Grandma) made biscotti to share with family and friends. When Nonni came to America, almost a century ago, she brought the family recipe with her.

To this day, the same family recipe using real eggs, butter and gourmet bittersweet chocolate is still used to give our biscotti a light, crunchy texture that is delicately sweet. Our devotion to quality ingredients has been the foundation for the growth and continued success of the company, and the key reason Nonni’s Biscotti is the number one selling biscotti in the country.

Nonni’s Biscotti and Nigel Barker, a professional photographer and judge on the reality show “America’s Next Top Model,” have teamed up to launch the 2012 “Biscotti Moment Sweepstakes.” Nonni’s Biscotti and Nigel Barker want you to share your biscotti moment by uploading photos of your own biscotti breaks. Enter to win weekly prizes and a grand prize for a trip for two to Hollywood on www.facebook.com/NonnisBiscotti .

“Living in New York City and being a photographer, filmmaker, author and a father can become hectic; finding time to breathe and take a break is always challenging,” said Nigel Barker. “I know when I reach in my bag and grab a biscotti bite; I can experience a couple of minutes to myself and taste the exquisite flavors of Nonni’s.”

The most popular selling biscotti on the market and the only national brand sold coast to coast. This delicious dunking cookie comes in a variety of flavors including Biscotti Bites in Almond Dark Chocolate, Caramel Milk Chocolate, Classic Almond and grocery packs flavors, in Cioccolati Biscotti, Decadence, Limone, Originali, Toffee Almond and Turtle Pecan.

Win: If you would like to win your own Nonnis Biscotti please visit theie website and enter by telling us which one you would like to try. You can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

John Frieda Haircare Experts Loose Curls Curling Iron Review

John Frieda® Haircare Experts Tools offer the perfect marriage of cutting-edge technology, sleek, modern design, and safe, long-lasting results. Each innovative styler features exclusive ionic frizz-fighting technology and true ceramic heat with LCD temperature control and auto-shut off. Made with scratch resistant ceramic titanium plates and barrels, John Frieda’s top of the line tools are the ultimate in professional heat styling.

This new line of hair styling tools by John Frieda includes:

John Frieda® Haircare Experts Full Volume Dryer ($49.99)
John Frieda® Haircare Experts Sleek Finish 1” Straightener ($49.99)
John Frieda® Haircare Experts Tight Curls 1” Curling Iron ($29.99)

John Frieda® Haircare Experts Volume Curls 1 1/2” Curling Iron ($32.99)

Also included in the Haircare Experts line are several professional grade brushes.

I was sent the Loose Curls 1 1/4" Curling Iron to review and I was very impressed. Priced at just $29.99 this curling iron is a steal for the quality.

It heats up in just 30 seconds, perfect if you are in a time crunch and with 11 digital heat settings it's easy and convenient to use. It has a large (1 1/4") ceramic titanium coated barrel with Advanced Ionic Conditioning for smooth, healthy waves and long-lasting lift. When I used this curling iron for the first time I had shoulder length hair and I found that this curling iron helped give my dull flat hair some body. I recently cut my hair into a shorter chin length bob but this iron is still great for getting my ends nice and curved in. I also helps to give my hair some lift on top. This curling iron would be great for someone with longer hair that wanted voluminous curls and waves.

You can purchase John Frieda Haircare Experts Tools at Ulta, CVS, Best Buy and Meijer stores nationwide.

Trop 50 Red Orange Review

A couple months ago I wrote up a review for Trop50 a delicious beverage from Tropicana. I recently tried one of the newest flavors in the beverage line, Red Orange.

Tropicana's Trop50 Red Orange delivers the goodness of orange juice with 50% less sugar and calories and no artificial sweeteners. It is a blend of nutritious orange juice and lush red oranges and is oh so good. Trop50 drinks are sweetened with an all- natural stevia based sweetener PureVia. PureVia is the highest quality extract of the stevia plant. PureVia enhances the sweetness of real fruit juice.

This juice beverage was a winner with everyone in my family. Even my little girl, who was impressed that oranges could be red! I love that this drink is not overly sweet but more on the tart side. I am also eager to try the other three new flavors of Trop50; Raspberry with Green Tea, Peach with White Tea, and Pear Lychee with White Tea. Trop50 beverages can be located in the chilled section of your local grocery store.

Skinny Girl Skincare Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winner #22 Jackie

We first watched Bethenny Frankel on the Real Housewives of New York, then we drank her Skinnygirl branded cocktails, now this lady entrepreneur has come out with a skincare collection called Skinnygirl Face and Body.  

"I created Skinnygirl Face and Body products so you can pamper yourself with a straightforward and natural face and body regimen. Proper skincare is all about being consistent; my whole collection is simple, yet luxurious and will fit into your everyday skincare routine."

Products range from lip care, facial cleansers & scrubs, body washes and even products for the mom to be. All Skinnygirl products are made in the USA and never tested on animals they are also free of petroleum and cancer causing chemicals.

I was given a Margarita Bath Collection for review which includes a body scrub, shower gel, and body lotion. This set was is inspired by a Margarita cocktail and has a sweet citrus-y scent that is yummy. I really enjoyed both the shower gel and body lotion, both of these products left a lingering smell on my skin and in my bathroom. I am not a big fan of body scrubs just cause I find them a little awkward to use while in the shower. Although I did find this particular body scrub to be a really nice exfoliater and left my skin very soft. This bath collection also comes in a Sangria inspired set. You can purchase both of these sets as well as other products from the Skinnygirl Face and Body line at your local Walmart. Mothers Day is just around the corner and these products would make great gifts.
