EO Hand Sanitizers Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winners #14, 23

 

 

A few months ago I was introduced to EO Everyone brand of products by way of their Lotion and Soap. Recently they launched a new line of products to the brand, Everyone Hand Sanitizers, and I was given the opportunity to review these as well.

These new hand sanitizers come in gel and spray formulas and two scents, Peppermint + Citrus and Coconut + Lemon.

EO¹s products are made with all natural ingredients and are ideal for everyone in your family ‹ non-GMO ethanol to fight germs, and plant-based glycerin and jojoba oil to keep hands feeling moisturized, not sticky. Best of all, they are 99.9% effective at killing common germs!

These 2oz. spray and gel bottles can be purchased exclusively at Whole Foods Market. Their small size are perfect to carry in your purse, briefcase, or backpack. These do contain alcohol and I found that the smell is rather strong. I do get a hint of the citrus scent in both sanitizers but the alcohol is definitely there. Also while the sanitizer absorbs quickly be sure to remember that a little goes a long way. I think I over did it the first time and when I rubbed my eyes right after using the sanitizer it stung a bit. I myself prefer the gel over the spray since I think it is easier to apply. The spray might be good for spraying down your telephone at work or heavily used doorknobs among other inanimate objects.

HEALTHY INGREDIENTS, HEALTHY PRODUCTS

Every EO product is plant and essential oil based, made with only pure and organic ingredients ­ paraben, disodium EDTA, sodium lauryl, phthalates, petrochemicals, artificial fragrance, chemical preservative, silicone, propopylene glycol, detergent, mineral oil, triclosan, EDTA, aluminum, sulfate, and Gluten-FREE; no animal testing is ever done, and every product is non-GMO verified.

I have two sets of hand sanitizers to give away to 2 girly girl readers. One of you will win a gel and spray sanitizer in Coconut + Lemon while another win a gel and spray sanitizer in the Peppermint + Citrus scent.

Back to School Routine Products

Now that the kiddos are back in school and you are finally getting back to your everyday routine I have some great products to share with you and your family.

First for the smart soccer mom, football mom, cheer mom, any mom that is outside cheering on their kids.

 

Heliocare™ Daily Use Antioxidant Formula

Heliocare has been shown to help maintain the skins ability to protect against sun related effects and aging. Yes, it is fall and winter is just around the corner and while you may be covering up more of your skin, your face is still being exposed to UVA rays all year round. This daily use antioxidant will help fight those free radicals that damage your skin. This added skin protection is easy to use, you just take one capsule daily. Simple enough for even the busiest mom to remember. You can purchase at your local Walgreens store.

 

Next for your teenage daughter who you have just started to allow to wear makeup to school, not too much though!

 

So Fresh So Clean® Eye Make-Up Remover Pads
So Fresh So Clean will insure that your daughters skin is makeup free when she gets to bed. These pads remove makeup quickly and gently and are formulated with Aloe Vera extract, cucumber extract and Vitamin E to keep skin moisturized and hopefully zit free. These are also great for your daughter to keep in her backpack so she can wipe off the excess black eye liner she snuck on before you see it. Just kidding! What teenage girl would do that?! These can be purchased at several local retailers like Ulta and online.

 

What about your teenage son? Has he suddenly become self conscious about his teenage skin?

 

AcneFree^® 2-in-1 Acne Wipes
With puberty comes that dreaded acne prone skin. Help your son tame his oily skin and keep the breakouts at bay with AcneFree. These oil-free wipes feature 0.5% Salicylic Acid, a dermatologist-recommended acne medication. They are simple to use for any teenage boy. You simply wipe across your skin removing it of dirt and oil and there is no need to rinse. These can be purchased at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

And finally some products for the entire family.

CeraVe^® Moisturizing Cream
Rather then having to purchase different lotions for different members of the family CeraVe is perfect for everyone to use. This cream is formulated for use all over, it replenishes and moisturizes and helps with dry, cracked, or chapped skin. Great on elbows, knees, and heels which tend to need the most help. It's non-irritating and fragrance free and a 16oz, container is more then enough to go around. You can purchase at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

 

Ocean® Saline Nasal Spray

Have falls falling leaves got your family's allergies acting up? Ocean Saline Nasal Spray is a gentle spray that offers relief from seasonal allergies. It safe to use even on  the littlest members of your family. It is also great for dry nasal passages due to colds and flu's and we all know that unfortunately we tend to see more of these once school is back in session. I have seasonal, pet, and dust allergies and this stuff works great for all three. Use it the moment you feel them start to act up and you will have instant relief. You can purchase at drugstores nationwide.

Shower to Shower Review

Here in Alaska we don't get a lot of hot weather but this summer was the exception. It was pretty dry and hot for the area. Most of us here in Alaska are used to going from hot to cool weather so this product Shower to Shower was nice to have around.

A sprinkle a day helps keep odor away. And that's not the only benefit of
SHOWER to SHOWER^®. Here are some more!

• Your body perspires in more places than just under the arms. Use
  SHOWER to SHOWER^® to feel dry, fresh and comfortable throughout the day.
• Pamper yourself with a soft touch and light fragrance.
• No more stained clothes - powder provides invisible wetness protection.
• With powder on, clothes glide on like a breeze and won't cling.

 The company who sent the product to me was kind enough to send me full size bottles to try. This was a great opportunity for me to share the product with a few friends to see what they thought of the it.

 

Shower to Shower is a great product that has a lot of benefits. We all know that during the summer we sweat a lot more and need a little extra protection. Shower to Shower is great to keep blisters away from sandals or hiking shoes. Putting Shower to Shower on after getting wet a the beach helps the sand come right off so you don't bring it home with you. I know that I will be taking it with me to Mexico this winter when I go. So just because summer is over doesn't mean it still won't come in handy.

One of my friends that tried it took it to Florida with here on her vacation and it was great for the humid climate. She said it was nice to use in her. In her own words, "Shower to Shower kept my feet from blistering from all the walking around I did on my vacation and kept my body feeling fresh."

I had another friend who took it when she went to Japan. It happened to be very humid when she was there so it was a great product for her to have. 

I have also been using it before my workouts. I get really sweaty at the gym since the type of gym I go to is a high intensity circuit training. Shower to Shower helps me feel dry and fresh and not all sweaty and gross. Of course I still sweat but with Shower to Shower I don't have to worry about the smell that comes with it. This is a great product to keep in your gym bag!

Halloween Adventure- Vampire Costume Review

Have your kiddos decided what they would like to dress up as for Halloween this year? My daughter Penelope has. Originally she wanted to be Bat Girl but when I was given the opportunity to review a costume from HalloweenAdventure.com she quickly changed her mind. She sat down with me in front of the computer and we looked through all the many costumes that are available on Halloween Adventures. They carry adult, children, and infant costumes and accessories in a variety of styles. Does your kiddo want to be his/her favorite cartoon character? Is your little girly girl dreaming of being a fairytale princess? Or perhaps like my daughter they want something a little more on the spooky side.

When my daughter saw this Vampiress Costume she immediately said "I want to be a vampire princess, I want this"! All thoughts of Bat Girl were quickly out the window. This particular costume includes the dress and choker with an attached collar. I like that it is simple enough that she can easily move around in it but it still has some nice detail. We can finish up her costume with some black shoes, white makeup, and long ringlets in her hair and she will look like she has been "living" in a Gothic castle for centuries. I will try to post a picture of her when she is all dressed up.

Their is still plenty of time to order your kids costume online and if you use the code NOW29 at checkout you will receive FREE shipping on all orders over $29.

Crabtree & Evelyn Conditioning Hand Washes Review

A few months back I was given the opportunity to review another of Crabtree & Evelyn's fab products, their Conditioning Hand Washes which were released earlier in the summer. I love their products and these hand washes totally met my expectations.

 

This collection of eight new hand washes come in a variety of delightful fragrances.

 

Citron, Honey & Coriander

Pomegranate, Argan & Grapeseed

Rosewater

Lavender

Lily

Iris

Wisteria

La Source

They are deigned to offer a gentle cleanse that conditions the skin as it washes. I received the Citron, Honey & Coriander for review which I was pretty excited about it because it was the one I would have chosen. It smells of citrus with some sweetness and a little herb-iness, exactly what you would expect from the name. It lathers up really nice and the scent fills the room each time you wash your hands, so good. It also leaves your hands feeling moisturized. Each hand wash is formulated without parabens, propylene glycol, phthalate or mineral oil. I also think the bottles are lovely and look great on a bathroom counter. The different colors that are available will add to the look of your room.

You can purchase these Conditioning Hand Washes online or check out their store locator to find a retail shop near you.
