Crabtree & Evelyn Product Review

In the past I have gotten to review some great products from Crabtree & Evelyn. A couple of months ago I was given another opportunity to try a couple of their products.

The Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage Body and Hand Collection is inspired by energizing botanicals of Italy. Featuring Tarocco which is known as the Sicilian Blood Orange and grown largely in the Italian region. The Tarocco orange is loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C, while the eucalyptus and sage add purifying, and refreshing elements. This collection is also fragranced with bergamot, and neroli. I wasn't familiar with neroli so I looked it up. Neroli is an oil produced from the blossom of the bitter orange plant. Basically the fragrance you get from this product is citrus-y and fresh with just a bit of herbiness from the eucalyptus and sage.

Their are six products included in this collection; Deep Cleansing Body Scrub, Body Souffle, Body Lotion, Bath & Shower Gel, Body Mist, and Hand Therapy. The two products I was sent to try were the Tarocco Orange Body Lotion and the Tarocco Orange Bath and Shower Gel.

The body lotion absorbs quickly and does not leave your skin feeling greasy. Rather it gives your skin a soft satiny feel.

The bath and shower gel is a nice cleanser. It creates a rich lather and you can also pour a little into your bath water for a nice refreshing foam bath.

Both of these items wake you up with their lively scent and leave you feeling refreshed. I thoroughly enjoyed them as did my mom when she paid me a visit and tried them out. She was especially a fan of the way the Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage smell. Want to try these products out? You can get this Little Luxuries set which includes smaller versions of Bath and Shower Gel, Body Lotion, and Hand Therapy for only $16.00.

You can purchase these items and more online or in a store near you.

Bremenn Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winner #17 Amanda

 

 

Bremenn Research Labs is the maker of several skin and body care products that target specific problems. Have a problem with dark spots on your face? Wake up with an awful pimple? Does your behind need a little lift? Then Bremenn's got you covered.

I was sent two of their products for review, Bremenn's Hylexin for "Serious Dark Circles?" and Bremenn's Upper Eyelid Lifter.

Have some "Serious Dark Circles?", Hylexin is a product developed for those with dark circles that remain long after you have woken from a restless sleep. This product was made to reduce the appearance of those pesky dark circles that seem to always be there. This product was also formulated to help reduce chronic puffiness under your eyes. Are you looking like you haven't slept in days? Then this is the product you need to try.

This is the first formula comprising a functional compound engineered to radically reduce the appearance of serious dark under-eye circles, discoloration, and lower-lid puffiness, while improving the appearance of the thin tissue around the eye to help reduce future discoloration.

I have been using Hylexin for a couple of weeks now. While I do not have a problem with puffiness I do tend to have dark areas under my eyes. While not extreme I do notice that my skin is just a bit darker there. I have been applying Hylexin morning and night everyday since I received it and I am not quite sure I see a difference in my eyes just yet. This cream is concentrated so you only need to use a very small amount and my tube is far from finished. I think two weeks is probably not long enough to see a difference so I will continue to use it till I'm out and hopefully will notice my dark circles have improved. A few things I do like about this product already is it is paraben free and I have noticed that it works great as a primer before applying my makeup. My makeup does look smoother under my eyes. Also the product seems to be very gentle. It has not irritated the sensitive skin around my eyes at all. Hylexin does mention that you may feel a slight warming sensation while using this product but this has not been the case for me.

Do your upper eyelids tend to sag or droop? Upper Eyelid Lifter was developed to alleviate this problem. Want to get rid of that sleepy eye look? This product is formulated to make your eyes look bigger, brighter, and awake.

This unique product harnesses a potent synthetic skin brightening agent that mimics a natural molecule from Scotch pine, a biopolymer from sweet almond proteins, key amino acids, a synergistic peptide pairing, and standardized extracts from yeast, rye seed and soy.

While I haven't actually noticed my eyelids sagging just yet. I am getting older and I do know that I very likely may have this problem in the future. I decided to use this product in hopes that it will delay the inevitable. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and again I can say this has been great to use under my eye makeup. The moisturizing effect makes my shadows go on smoother and not look cake-y. As for stopping my eyelids from drooping, well time will only tell.

Both of these products can be purchased online or at your local Walmart.

Want to win one of these products to try for yourself? One GGG reader will win their choice of Serious Dark Circles? or Upper Eyelid Lifter.

Band Angels Giveaway

CLOSED

Winner #9, 14

 

 

Here is something for the little ones in your life, Band Angels! Band Angels are bandages with healing bible verses printed on them. They also have adorable angel characters that little ones love. I know this because a while back we were sent samples to review on my personal blog and my daughter Penelope loved them. Any little scratch, bump, or poke, she was trying to convince me that she needed a Band Angel to make her feel better. She loved hearing what was written on each one and I loved the fact that I was sharing scripture with her in such an endearing way. When we were sent Band Angels for review they only came in blue but now you can get your Band Angels in pink! Wait until Penelope finds out. These bandages are latex free and made in the USA, we love them, and so will you!

Band Angels can be purchased online or in a few retail shops. Be sure to like Band Angels on Facebook for all the latest information on these precious bandages.

The people at Band Angels would like to bless two of our Girly Girls with 2 boxes of Band Angels each, blue and pink.

To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Bible verse is. You can get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.
