Travel Friendly Beauty Products & Supergoop Review and Giveaway

 

 

CLOSED

Winner #19 CatOLuck

 

 

 

Yes, summer is ending and autumn is quickly approaching but that doesn't mean vacation time is over. Whether you have a long trip coming up or a short weekend getaway, I have some travel friendly products to share with you.

 

From Antica Farmacista their Grapefruit Conditioner will keep your locks clean, strong and smelling great.

 

Hitting the hotel pool? This conditioner will help revitalize you hair after being in the harsh chlorine water. Pair this conditioner up with the Grapefruit Shampoo and your hair will not only be smooth and moisturized but it will be squeaky clean too.
$25 at AnticaFarmacista.com and Nordstrom stores nationwide 

Want to give your face a vacation while you are on vacation? Keep it makeup free but still looking great with Mineral Fusion SPF 30 Brush-On Sun Defense.

This oil free powder is transparent and offers protection from the sun. Formulated for all skin types it will keep your skin shine free and looking its best.
$24.99 at Ulta stores nationwide and Ulta.com

I don't know about you but I often forget about my lips when it comes to sun protection. Yes, your mouth needs some cover up from the sun as well. Protect your pout with Supergoop's SPF 30 Lip Balms.

These lip balms provide high sun protection while hydrating and repairing them from previous damage. They come in both ACAIFUSION and MINTFUSION. While the Acai fights free radicals, the mint will freshen your breath and cool stressed out lips.
$8.50 at Nordstrom, Nordstrom.com and Supergoop.com

I was sent Supergoop! ACAIFUSION Lip Balm for review and I love it. As a lip balm junkie it totally meets my standards. First it is not sticky, it goes on smooth, leaves my lips soft, and has the added bonus of protecting them from the sun.

While all three of these products would make great additions to your travel necessities I have been given an extra Supergoop Lip Balm to share with one of you.

City Syn by City Cosmetics Review

 

A few weeks ago I mentioned I would be posting a review on City Cosmetics, City Syn anti-aging skin smoothing serum. Initially I had planned to use and review this product myself and share my thought with all of you, but I happened to be staying with my mom when I received my bottle of City Syn. When I told her about the product and it's claims she asked if she could be the one to test the product instead. She buttered my up a little by saying things like "you're too young for anti-aging products", "your skin is so smooth", and so I gave in and let her be the skin tester for this. So why did my mom want to try this product so bad? What is City Syn? Believe it or not it is an anti-aging product made with ingredients that mimic snake venom.

 

City Syn has revolutionized the way we treat wrinkles with its silky, lightweight formula infused with SYN-AKE, a rare form of synthetic snake venom. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, and Victoria Beckham are all abuzz over its anti-aging, wrinkle-reducing properties. By mimicking the reactions that cause muscles to move or contract, this serum effectively reduces the look of lines and wrinkles, providing the ultimate skincare experience, without the pain or risk.

 

City Syn is made to replenish skin, reverse age and sun damage, smooth out creases and surface wrinkles, and leave you with a youthful complexion. Recent clinical trials show that SYN-AKE can reduce wrinkles by as much as 52% in just 28 days.

 

So what did mom have to say about this product after using it for a little over a month now? One of the first things she noticed was how nice the initial application on her skin felt. It was very lightweight, absorbed quickly, did not leave a greasy feeling, and it left her skin feeling soft to the touch. She said she could tell it was a high quality product. I asked her if she has noticed a difference in her skin since she started using City Syn and she said that the she has noticed her skin looks and feels smoother. She also has not seen any more creases or wrinkles creeping up since she has been using the serum.

 

 

Here is a picture taken of my mom just a couple of weeks ago. She is 58 and has been blessed with always looking younger then her age, she is always looking for products that will help keep her looking youthful. Her opinion is that City Syn is one of those products. You can purchase City Syn and other great products by visiting City Cosmetics.

Zim's Naturally- Based Products

I had the privileged of testing 2 great products by Zims , both of which I can say I am extremely impressed with. The 1st one that I tested was

 Max Freeze Gel 

May effectively help relieve pain from:

• Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
• Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
• Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
• Muscular Strains

This Product is GREAT ! I used this on Myself , My husband & my 16 yr old son (who skateboards everyday ) 

This Product immediately went to work without the crazy medicine smell. It was mild enough to cure small aches & pains , yet when it came to the bigger pains (like back pain ) It did the job like a champ . The price is worth every penny $9.99..

The 2nd product I tested was  Zims Original Crack Creme

Zim's CRACK Creme Original Liquid Formula is an All-Natural multi-use liquid herbal formula that softens and moisturizes dry, cracked skin. Recommended for nighttime use but can be used throughout the day as well. Use on Hands, Feet, Elbows, Cuticles & More. It was developed by a pharmacist over 60 years ago when cement workers came to him complaining of dry, cracked skin on their hands and feet. This oil formula features Arnica Flower Extract and Myrcia Oil.

Voted #1 by Pharmacists- The Pharmacy Times June 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2006 OTC Survey - Foot Care Category

I totally see why this product won for so many years ! I used this on any area that was dry & effected by the sun .. My Elbows , My heels & my hands all benefited from this product ! I will so Buy this again & again ! At $6.99 it is going to be a household staple as well as all the Zim Products
