Osmotics Review

Osmotics Anti-Radical Age Defense Moisture Veil 

This revolutionary light weight moisturizer is a must for defending your skin against the ravages of time.  This total skin defense system combines the newest and most powerful anti-radical protection with skin compatible lipids to restore your natural moisture barrier, the first line of defense against aging.  It is the only product on the market that targets all three types of free radicals while protecting cellular DNA

I had the privilege of reviewing this great product .. Unfortunately I don't always get to test & try all the skin care lines because i am currently in the process of testing previous products . But the great news is that my mom was more then willing to be my voice & tester for this product .. she is super opinionated & very honest . When i gave her all the information about Osmotics Moisture Veil she was a little skeptical because other companies offer the same tag line "it helps , it prevents" But to her surprise she was More than a fan after 2 weeks of continual use . She mentions that it absorbed right away & didn't interfere with her normal makeup routine . She also mentions that her skin felt smoother & more youthful . So i asked her to describe what "youthful" meant to her , in terms of the skin  . Her response was that it felt like it brought back a glow to her skin .. she visibly seen a difference in the texture of her skin as well . Overall she was a fan & that is a HUGE success to Osmotics ! You have given this Middle aged Italian woman a new product to her routine & she will be a loyal fan ! You can find Osmotics Moisture Veil as well as a complete line of other anti-age & preventative skin care on there website and Facebook

OraMD Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winners #1, 18, 35 
 
 

OraMD is an all-natural liquid toothpaste, mouth rinse and breath freshener. It contains 100% botanical oils such as peppermint oil, spearmint oil, and almond oil. These oils when combined make potent bacteria and plaque fighters. Like floss these oils get in between the teeth and gums to clean thoroughly but unlike floss and most toothpastes OraMD also seeps between the gum line and fights bacteria even while you sleep. OraMD is also a great alternative to most commercial mouthwashes as it does not contain alcohol and therefore will not dry out your mouth which accelerates the growth of harmful bacteria.



I was given a bottle of OraMD for review. When I first saw this tiny 15ml bottle I assumed it was a sample size. It is not, this little bottle contains 400 drops. OraMD has a 4 Step Oral Hygiene Program you can find on their website www.oramd.com. When following this program one bottle of OraMD will last approximately one month. It is also safe for children aged 3 and older with no spearmint, peppermint, or nut allergies and does not contain fluoride or other harmful additives. When I first used OraMD I might have gone a little overboard on the amount I put on my toothbrush. There was a stinging sensation in my mouth that was not at all enjoyable. It was like sucking on an extra strong mint and I immediately had to rinse my mouth out. The directions call to put 2 to 5 drops on your toothbrush and brush as you normally would. I might have been a little generous with my drops. The second time and since then I have not had that problem again. I had to get used to the fact that the stuff does not foam up like toothpaste does. The first few times I used it I felt like it wasn't cleaning my teeth. I have since gotten used to the fact and actually enjoy it a lot more. I also did some "smell my breath" tests with Penelope who said "mmm minty, your breath smells good mommy". Four year olds are pretty honest so I was pretty confident after that. Do you have problems with bleeding gums, red gums, swollen gums, bad breath? The people at OraMD are so sure of their product they tell their customers to use for at least 3 months and then have their dentist evaluate the improvement in their oral health. Why not give it a shot?

To find out more about OraMD you can like them on Facebook.

3 Girly Girl readers are going to get a chance to win one bottle of OraMD each.

Contessa World Cuisine’s Review

 
 
Now that the Holidays are over it's back to busy work days and long hours. Some days it's hard to get a good meal together at the end of the day.
 contessa world Contessa World Cuisine Meals Review & Giveaway
I had a chance to try Contessa World Cuisine's. These are a great quick meal to prepare for your family on those busy nights when making a full dinner is just not going to happen. They have 18 unique flavors so they should have something for everyone's tastes.

 
 
There are so many great aspects of these meals that I think you’ll enjoy like:
  • 18 unique, world cuisine-inspired flavors
  • Simple to prepare in ten minutes at home
  • No msg
  • No trans-fat
  • No artificial colors or flavors
  • No preservatives
  • Minimally processed
  • Multiple gluten-free options
  • Individually packaged sauce packets to allow for freshness, recipe variation and special dietary needs


I found that the Contessa World Cuisine meals are really made for two adults. These meals are better for me to cook when my husband is out of town. It's the perfect amount for myself and my two kids. The best part is that the kids love them. It's hard to find things that my kids will eat. They are more about simple foods. fruit, veggies, cheese...you get what I'm saying. But they loved these. We live in Homer Alaska and unfortunately our grocery selection is not the greatest so we only got to try two varieties of these meals, Beef Mongolian and Sesame Chicken.  I am not usually a big fan of prepacked meals. The meat always taste fake to me, but this was not the case this time around. They were quick, tasty, and satisfying.


And  because I couldn't get all the variety of flavors here I passed out some of my coupons  to a few friends of mine and they all loved them too. Saying how quick and easy they were, delicious and perfect on the go! These have been a big hit overall and I am so glad I got the chance to try them. On a side note, the meals here in Alaska are a little expensive but if your comparing it too ordering a pizza or going out to dinner you will save money by having these on hand.  

You should also check out Contessa's website. They have got some great health and wellness tips, recipes and information on their concern about our planet and green cuisine.

So when your shopping for food for the week make sure you stop by the frozen section and check out if there is a Contessa World Cuisine that interest you!

Dead Sea Elements Wipes & IntensivEYE Soothing Pads

Dead Sea Elements 

IntensivEYE Soothing pads 

AS we enter the New Year with resolutions of getting fit , eating better , spending less , we often find ourselves running out of time to do all that we had resolved to do . With that being said we sometimes forget or neglect our face . Especially during the holiday season . Coming home late the last thing we think about is washing our face thoroughly ! Don't lie we have all done it ! 
I was given the opportunity to review these 2 amazing products & I was supposed to write about them before the holidays but I really like to test out the products sent to me so that i can give a very honest review .. So here is goes .
1. The Dead Sea Elements are insanely undiscovered ! I will most likely never run to a counter again for cosmetic wipes ! These miracle clothes totally cleaned my face with 1 side . On Christmas Eve we came home from my in-laws house at 1:30 and we still had to escort "Santa's" gifts in the house not to mention eat the reindeer's food .. So as you can imagine , I had No time (well i did but didn't want to ) wash my face . I cracked open my Dead Sea Wipes and was amazed at how well they made my face feel not just right away but in the morning my face wasn't dry or irritated . I LOVE THEM ! I am a Fan with there non-abrasive dead sea salt they totally revived my skin . The package was easy to use , snap open , snap shut it kept all my wipes moist even after i opened the package ! 
You get 30 Towelettes for $5.99 That's a steal and you can find them at any local drugstore ! 

2. IntensivEYE Soothing Pads came in at just the right time . As many of you know , I own a Makeup School in San Diego and all of my students are required to bring in models for there last day of class . On that day each model gets there makeup done 3 to 4 times so you can imagine there poor eyes ! I love makeup but not that much ! Right in the middle of a makeup change i received IntensivEYE pads & was able to crack them open & allow the models to use them to soothe there over worked eyes .. Can i just say that I saw a 100% difference in the redness of there eyes & each one of them mentioned how good these pads felt . These pads were twice as thick as other eye pads . They help cool & soothe the eye area . The cucumber extract really helped replenish moisture to the most sensitive area of the eye .. They truly are a great buy and they only cost $4.49 at your local drug store ! 

My last statement from a professional standpoint is that BOTH of these are a must for your Pro kit & personal life !

Covergirl BlastFlipstick Review

 
I love being a member of Bzzagent, I am constantly learning about the newest products on the market. Like Covergirl's new BlastFlipstick for instance.  These new double ended lipsticks are great. One end offers a creamy shade of lip color while the other end offers some shimmer, so with just a little flip of your lipstick you can choose the color that suits you at the moment. That's not all though, blend both colors together and you get a different shade all together so it's like having three lipsticks in one slim stick.
 
 
I received two of these BlastFlipsticks for my review, Stunner and Vixen. I didn't think Stunner suited my complexion so I gave it to my mom who has a fairer complexion and she absolutely loves it. I am however using Vixen everyday since I received it. I love how smooth it goes on but mostly I love the colors. I have been using the shimmer during the day, the creamy shade in the evening and occasionally when I am feeling a little playful have been blending the two to create a color that pops.

 
BlastFlipstick comes in 13 different shades or 39, however you see it. They retail for around $8.49 and can be purchased wherever Covergirl products are sold.
