Pond's Review


As a member of Influenster I was given the opportunity to review Pond's Rejuveness and Clarant B3 moisturizers.


Pond's is currently running the #SeeForYourself campaign. You can join actress Jordana Brewster to visibly reduce you wrinkles in 2 weeks using Rejuveness. Although my skin is currently not showing any signs of wrinkles I thought I would join in the challenge and see if I saw any other improvements in my skin. I also thought maybe it would stall the inevitable for a little bit longer. I have been using this moisturizer morning and night every day for the last 2 weeks and I love it. It does a great job of moisturizing your skin without leaving it feeling oily. This is a plus for me since I tend to have oily skin. My skin is soft and smooth.


I have also been using the Clarant B3. This is designed to fade dark spots and even out skin tone in as little as four weeks. Well it's been only two weeks of using this morning and night and I am already seeing a difference. Seriously I wish I would have taken before shots to show you. I have had two dark spots for a long time now, one on my chin and the other underneath my eye and I can see them slowly getting lighter and lighter. I am not even kidding, this stuff works! It is also very gentle on your skin and my skin tone is looking more even and healthy. If you have dark spots caused by acne, age or sun then I would give this stuff a try.

Both items can be purchased for around $10 at your local drugstores, or mass retailers like Walmart and Target.

Violife Slim Sonic Toothbrush Review


Violife started off making countertop UV sanitizers for your toothbrush and then other UV products for oral care. They have since added toothbrushes as well as other travel comforts to their product line.

I was sent one of their Slim Sonic Toothbrushes for review. This battery powered, portable and fashionable toothbrush provides "22,000 brush strokes per minute". The slim, mascara-style vented cap design is ideal for convenient travel and to keep your brush head clean. Each Slim Sonic comes with a free replacement head and AAA battery. These come in a large variety of patterns, colors and styles.



I received this Zebra print one and I love it. It is so adorable and it quickly replaced my previous toothbrush. Even my 7 year old daughter Penelope is jealous of my new toothbrush and keeps asking me to buy her one. I've decided to get her this Lipsmack one.


You can purchase the Slim Sonic Toothbrush for $14.95 online.

Hard Candy Makeup Setting Spray Review


Popular beauty line Hard Candy has a new addition to their makeup collection, Hard Candy Makeup Setting Spray.


This new setting spray keeps your makeup looking fresh and just made up all day long. With just a spritz of this spray your face will look it's best no matter the weather. Spray it on after you have finished applying all your makeup to lock in your look. No more melting, cracking or fading!

I like the convenient size of this spray bottle that is small enough to travel with. I love how refreshing it feels on your skin when you spray it and it smells great too. Initially it sprays on wet but then quickly dries and absorbs into your skin. This stuff works really well and at just $6 is a total steal. It does contain alcohol which may dry out your skin. My skin tends to be on the oilier side so it works great on mine. This may differ if you have dry or sensitive skin. Bottom line, this does what it is supposed to do. If you are heading out for a long night and want to stay looking your best Hard Candy Makeup Setting Spray will get the job done.

You can purchase the Hard Candy collection at your local Walmart store or online.

Since it was close to Mother's Day I decided to get my mom something. She loves wearing shawls and the GreaterGood Shop has some really pretty ones.

 
I decided on this Shimmering Peach wool and silk blend shawl. This shawl is artisan-made in India. It is gorgeous and my mom absolutely loved it. It was nicely packaged when it arrived and even came with a thank you note from the artist who made it.
 
Father's Day is just a few weeks away and the GreaterGood Shop has Gift Ideas for Dad to choose from. Just like the shawl many of these items are also artisan-made which in my opinion makes them extra special.

Scalisi Skincare Review and Giveaway

Closed
 
Winner #17


Scalisi Skincare is a leader in anti-aging skincare. Their products are 100% women owned and made entirely in the USA. Founder and CEO, Jill Scalisi created the line in 2008 after a skin cancer diagnoses. She partnered with scientists and chemists to create the first scientifically proven anti-aging moisturizer with SPF 30. Since then she has created an entire skincare collection that is recommended and raved about by doctors and celebrities alike.


I was sent the Cleanser and Exfoliator for review.

This daily "mini facial" promises soft, glowing skin in a flash. Designed to improve, prevent and repair visible wrinkles at the same time, this hybrid cleanser/exfoliator utilizes gentle micro beads to remove impurities and contains hydrating botanicals like jojoba, macadamia nut and sunflower oils. 

I love how smooth this cleanser feels, even with exfoliating micro beads. It leaves your skin feeling soft and thoroughly cleansed. It is very gentle and works great on all skin types. I am interested in trying the moisturizer because it has gotten the most positive reviews from stars like Kelly Rutherford (Gossip Girl) and celebrity makeup artists.


The Scalisi Skincare Essentials Set is currently on sale for $130. It includes the Cleanser and Exfoliator, Anti-Aging Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 and Eye Cream. Or you can purchase the Cleanser and Exfoliator alone for $25.

One lucky Girly Girl reader will get the chance to win a Scalisi Skincare Cleaner and Exfoliator.

Natural Goal Ultimate Vitamin B Complex Review and Discount


Natural Goal provides a variety of nutritional supplements for your health needs.


Recently I was sent their Ultimate Vitamin B Complex for review. Just a few days prior to receiving this sample for review I was talking to my sister in law about the importance of Vitamin B. She had recently started taking some and was raving about how much it was helping with her energy. This particular formula contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 as well as Folic Acid and Biotin. It is formulated to aid in a healthy nervous system, cell production, boost metabolism, mood and energy and is also said to aid in the function of your liver. On top of all this it has anti-aging effects, helps add volume to hair and strengthens your nails. Talk about a potent little pill!

Natural Goal sells their Ultimate Vitamin B Complex in a 100 capsule bottle. You take one capsule a day preferably with a meal. I learned this the hard way when I took one before eating breakfast the first morning, needless to say it left me a little nauseated. Since then I make sure and take my daily pill with a meal and have not had that problem since. Immediately after starting to take these pills I noticed an increase in my energy levels I have also noticed that it has helped my mood quite a bit.

Nature Goal is allowing me to give the first 50 Girly Girl readers a great deal.
