Swipe Review

Girls don't sweat they glisten! Yeah right...
I am going to be honest with you here, I think I sweat more then the average girl. I am not sure why but I do know that when the weather is warm or when I am being active I tend to sweat. It's annoying and it's not always possible to pull out some deodorant to freshen up. I don't know about you but I am not one that carries my deodorant around with me. That's where one of the newest products in personal hygiene comes in, Swipe.

Swipe are single use deodorant wipes that are individually packaged making them easy to pop into your purse or gym bag and small enough to make them inconspicuous should you feel the need to use them in public. They are infused with natural tea tree extract that provides protection from sweating and helps eliminate body odor.

I received a 3 pack sample for review. Out of their packaging they smell kind of soap-y and  little like alcohol. I was initially not very fond of the smell. I was pleased though that I did not smell like rubbing alcohol after using them. They have a fresher smell when you actually use them. I think these are a pretty neat idea. Especially for traveling or just when your out and about on a hot day, hanging out at the beach or working out. They are like wet naps for your body. Swipe deodorant wipes are made in the US and are completely biodegradable. They can be purchased in packs of 3, 10 or 25 online. They are currently working on getting product out to other retail locations.

For a girl that likes to feel clean and fresh all the time I would definitely keep these handy. And ladies toss some of them in your mans suitcase, gym bag or in their car. I don't know about you but I am not a fan of stinky boys. ;) What are your thoughts?

*Gift Idea- Spa Sonic Skin Care System Review

The Spa Sonic Skin Care System is 4 products in one. Unlike other some rotating brushes that require the purchase of a new device and attachment for a specific skin care need. Spa Sonic's Face and Body Polisher includes attachments for a deep clean and softer skin from head to toe.

The small facial brush is made with soft bristles for gentle skin. You can apply your regular face cleanser to the brush and move across your skin in a circular motion. It gives you a deep clean and leaves your skin feeling soft to the touch. I love that this brush makes me my face feel so much cleaner then just using my hands to wash.

The large brush is made with the same soft bristles as the small brush but is made to cover a larger area. Apply your everyday body wash and get your entire body clean and smooth. I love the way this feels! It's like a light massage with an added bonus. I used a scented wash and I was in shower heaven.

 

The facial sponge is soft and meant to massage your skin and help it to absorb your creams, lotions and serums. All your anti-aging products, products that remove imperfections and help tighten those pores will get an extra boost with this sponge.

 

Finally the pumice, my favorite of the four attachments. This is used to help with those dry and rough spots. Get your elbows, knees and heels soft and looking great. It helps exfoliate rough skin cells and reduce calluses. This works great on your feet. Let them soak for a few minutes then dry off with a towel and use the pumice in a circular motion to soften those heels.

I really love the Spa Sonic Skin Care System. It is easy to use! The attachments are super easy to switch out and cleaning is a cinch. It is completely waterproof so you can use it in the bath and shower with no problem making it super convenient. Why visit a spa when you can turn your bathroom into one!

Spa Sonic is available at Costco, Target, Walmart, CVS and Walgreens. It would make the perfect gift for a Girly Girl. Husbands take note! Throw in a massage and a night out on the town and you will have one happy wife.

Walmart carries the color collection pictured above and is currently marked down to $35.99 from $64.99.  In addition you can find online savings for Spa Sonic at Target, Walgreens and drugstore.com.

*Gift Idea- Creekside Farms Review

It's that time of the year when people are displaying their wreaths to get into the Holiday spirit. Creekside Farms provides quality artisan wreaths direct from their farm in California's Monterey County, to your home. Their lovely wreaths are created by hand using herbs and flowers that are grown on the farm without pesticides. They have a large variety to choose from and not just during the Holidays as you would expect. Creekside Farms offers wreaths for all occasions, be it a gorgeous wedding wreath or a patriotic one. I especially like their Herb Wreaths that fill your kitchen and home with wonderful fragrances from herbs like sage and rosemary.

I was sent this Holiday Citrus Wreath for review.

This wonderfully fragrant all natural wreath is embellished with slit oranges, tallow berries, quince slices, and spruce cones.

I love this wreath! A soon as I received my package from Creekside Farms I opened it up not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the look of this wreath but with the smell. It has a citrus-y smell  that goes well with the spruce. When my daughter came home from school the first words out of her mouth when she walked in the door were "it smells like Christmas in here!" It looks like Christmas too!

I was excited to learn that as long as you care for your wreath by keeping it indoors and away from harsh temperatures, and most importantly keeping it dry, it can very well stay beautiful for up to a year. The fresh greens will dry naturally and turn into a dried arrangement that you can continue to display.

Most of their wreaths will ship within 2 to 3 days so there is still time to order one before Christmas. Use the code GIRLY  at checkout and receive 15% off your order! Also be sure to like Creekside Farms on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Color Me Beauty

Fast and flawless makeup starts here. Color Me is laser focused on improving makeup application.  

Founded on the vision of Eric Jimenez, Color Me brings makeup application to the next level. With an automatic sponge that runs at a rate of 15,000 pulses per minute, the device applies foundation smoothly and mimics gentle finger tapping. In an independent clinical study, most women reported cutting application time in half, with improved evenness. 

At first when I received Color Me , I was a little apprehensive especially because I am a professional MUA working daily on set .  Color me Beauty was extremely generous & sent me several sponges which I decided to use on a client who wanted a flawless coverage with out the "Cakey" feeling . 

Needless to say , I was Blown Away on how smooth it was applying the liquid foundation . It was a bit weird letting go of the control & allowing this little machine do the work .. I have included a pic of the final result (with no filter or touch up ) I was impressed ! 

Now although I LOVED this on my client , I am a totally different beast when it comes to foundation . I like it Full Coverage & HEAVY hahaha …. I busted out a new sponge & began to apply on myself … I will say that it did deliver , but after the fact , I did go back in & buff 1 , maybe 2 more coats of foundation on .. but again , I am a FULL Coverage  not your average foundation wearer ! 

This Product is SUPERB for the everyday woman who wants that flawless face with the least amount of product . It is sold at your local ULTA stores & comes with 2 sponge replacements ! Depending on how often you wear makeup will determine the how long the sponge will last ! 

A great gift for moms on the go or even your teenage daughter who is just learning how to control her coverage ! 

Go Check them out !
