Review of New, L'Oreal Age Perfect for Mature Skin, Rich Restorative Cream Cleanser

Although my skin is not full of wrinkles I still take extra steps to make sure my skin stays as young looking for as long as it possibly can. When I came across L'Oreal Age Perfect for Mature Skin, Rich Restorative Cream Cleanser I assumed it would be a nice easy way to maintain my youthful looking skin.

Unfortunately though the cleanser leaves behind a greasy residue on the skin, and seeing that I have oily skin by nature it was not an added benefit that I found at all helpful to my skin type.

The texture of the cleanser is very creamy and feels fantastic when rubbing it into my skin. I also enjoyed how silky it made my skin feel while I was applying it, however rinsing the cleanser was an entirely different story.

The cleanser left behind what felt like an oil slick (at least that's what it felt like to me) no matter how vigorously I tried splashing my face and rinsing my skin of it, the greasy residue was still very present.

After drying my face on a towel the oily feeling did go away, but my skin was left feeling greasier than usual, and was shiny throughout the day, which I hated!

All in all L'Oreal Age Perfect for Mature Skin, Rich Restorative Cream Cleanser would be a great cleanser for those with dry skin, but for those with naturally oily and shiny skin L'Oreal Age Perfect for Mature Skin, Rich Restorative Cream Cleanser is a nightmare.

Review of Nexxus Dualiste, Dual Benefit Conditioner: Color Protection, and Intense Hydration

I fell in love with Nexxus products the very first time I tried out the brand. Although they sell hair care products at prices that I consider a bit high, I also consider the prices to be well worth the product results that I get.

When I came across one of their newest products I knew I had to try it. There were other options in the new collection of dual hair care, but I went with the one best suited for my hair type. Nexxus Dualiste, Dual Benefit Conditioner: Color Protection, and Intense Hydration.

Unlike any other conditioner I had ever seen, Nexxus Dualiste, Dual Benefit Conditioner: Color Protection, and Intense Hydration comes with 2 split chambers of conditioner. One chamber in the bottle holds a conditioner designed to protect the color of your hair, while the other chamber contains conditioner that is designed to moisturize the hair.

You can see inside of the bottle at how the two are split up. There seems to be some sort of plastic wall that keeps the two from spreading in to one another. Frankly they could have just mixed the two together, but that wouldn't be as fun now would it?

At any rate, the pump when pressed down squeezes out the two types of conditioner. One is a cloudy white in color, and the other is a minty green in color.

The scent reminded me a lot of the scents that nearly all Nexxus products have, which is a creamy almond like coconut. Nexxus Dualiste, Dual Benefit Conditioner: Color Protection, and Intense Hydration has a more pina colada scent to it, which is really nice and I cannot imagine anyone disliking it.

In the shower I pumped out a few squirts of the dual conditioner and ran it through my hair. I let it sit for a full 3 minutes and rinsed.

The conditioner made my hair feel very very clean, but not silky which was strange.

When I got out of the shower to style my hair, I was surprised at how manageable my hair was, and how shiny and soft it had become after using Nexxus Dualiste, Dual Benefit Conditioner: Color Protection, and Intense Hydration.

It was an overall winner in my opinion. I loved how it made my hair look and feel, and I loved the fact that the light fragrance stood with me afterward.

It's a 5 star product, and I highly recommend you give it a try.

Review: Strap Perfect- The Ultimate Bra Strap Solution

I was recently given a pack of Strap Perfect- The Ultimate Bra Strap Solution. At first I did not think that these cheap little plastic clips would do anything, yet the back of the package promised to keep bra straps in place, the promised to allow me to adjust my bra straps as to where they would not show while wearing sleeveless shirts, and they also promised to make cleavage look larger, while improving posture.

Yep, a lot of promises all packed into one itsy plastic clip. Frankly I did not think that they would work at all.

I went ahead and gave them a try though seeing that I constantly have bra straps falling out of place...and of course, I could use some extra cleavage, even if it is an illusion! Haha!

Applying the clips are not simple though, and it actually took quite some time for me to figure out how the heck to place them on to the straps.

Once I got them in place though, I was very surprised at how simple they were, and how well the worked.

I was able to slide the clips up and down on the back straps of my bra for a bit of a lift in cleavage, and to conceal straps for when I wore sleeveless shirts. Not only that though they did in fact hold my straps in place. No slipping, no nothing, just pure comfort all throughout the day!

All in all I was not expecting these bra strap concealer's to be worth a damn, but they surprised me in how well they worked.

I highly recommend them, especially during summer months when us gals whip out the tank tops! No one likes looking at unsightly bra straps, so I think that the Strap Perfect Clips are an absolute must...plus they make your boobies look bigger! Haha! What's not to love?

Review of New Soap & Glory Fab Pore Facial Mask

When I came across Soap & Glory Fab Pore hidden amongst other Soap & Glory products I was excited to scoop this one up and give it a try.

The small 1.6 ounce tub however comes to $12.99, which is a little high for what I normally spend on facial masks. Being the true Soap & Glory fan I am though, I went ahead and bought not one, but two of the masks. One for me, and one for my bestie who is also a fan of the collection.

I was hoping it would smell like all of the other original Soap & Glory product, however when I screwed off the lid instead I was greeted with a minty cream like scent. It was a powerful scent, and smelled a lot like the Soap & Glory Spa collection. Due to the pink packaging it came in though, I thought it would have the original scent. Most of the Spa collection products come in blue packages.

The facial mask itself was a light peachy color with small flecks of green micro beads all throughout the mixture.

According to the package, you are to apply it to your face and leave it on for 5 minutes. You could leave it on longer for a full do it yourself facial as well. Your skins benefit of course is supposed to be smaller pores!

I globed on a fair amount of the mask to my skin and rubber it around until all of the micro beads were dissolved; as directed.

The mixture dries rather fast and leaves your skin feeling cool and dry while it does its magic.

After the full 15 minutes I rinsed the mask from my face. My skin was left feeling very clean, and very soft. At the same rate though, it was also left feeling slightly dry, but not tight.

I used a moisturizer as the package directed to take care of the dry feeling the mask left behind.

As far as shrinking my pores during the first session though, I cannot say I saw any results. Using the mask however left my skin feeling pampered, so it was a plus.

All in all I really liked Soap & Glory Fab Pore, but frankly it is just too expensive, and you don't get a whole lot of mix in the tub. It will probably only last me a month and a half with 2 weekly treatments.

Review of new Soap & Glory Hair Supply

This summer Soap & Glory has kicked off with some brand new products, and frankly I could not have been happier with some of the new choices they have made available to use ladies!

One of their newest products is Soap & Glory Hair Supply. This one comes in the usual adorable retro packaging that Soap & Glory products come in. Hair Supply is a pink squeeze tube, with an awesome retro picture of a woman on it with tousled locks! It's cute, its fitting, it's girly, it's a must!

Hair Supply is meant to be used as a hair mask to conditioner your over processed hair leaving it healthy and shiny.

I wanted it mostly for the adoring scent though. If you are a fan of the original Soap & Glory scent, than you will appreciate the fact that Hair Supply captured that scent to the tee!

I was mainly excited to have the scent left behind in my locks more than anything though. I adore the original Soap & Glory scent, and this one smelled just like it. I hoped the scent would last!

In the shower I first rinsed with shampoo, and then squeezed out a decent supply of Hair Supply into my palm.

The conditioner itself has a semi-thick consistency, but not too thick as to where you cannot easily rub it into your hair.

The scent is delicious, and fills the bathroom as you scrub it into your scalp. It is supposed to sit in your hair for around 3 minutes. I left it in for 5 for optimum results.

Once my hair was fully dry and styled it was left shiny, smooth, and of course smelling like a million bucks. I am happy to report that the original Soap & Glory scent stuck with my hair, and lasted long.

For me that was all I wanted it for; the scent. Considering the facts that it left my hair smooth, sleek, and shiny, Hair Supply is an A+ product in my opinion.

Review of Soap & Glory Easy Glistening Spray

Ladies, Soap & Glory Easy Glistening Spray is by far my favorite product in the line thus far!

For those of you who already know and love the sweet feminine fragrance from the original Soap & Glory, you will be highly impressed with the Easy Glistening Spray!

It not only has the original scent to it, but the scent is extremely long lasting. A very small spray of this stuff, and you will be smelling like a sweet princess for the rest of the day.

Besides leaving you doused in the glorious scent though, Soap & Glory Easy Glistening Spray leaves your skin lightly toughed with micro flecks of glitter, that are so small they look like a natural glow added to your skin.

The spray also leaves the skin feeling hydrated, and moisturized.

It comes in a 5 ounce aluminum spray can, and comes to $12.99, which may seem a bit pricey for spray on shimmer, but I am telling you this stuff is by far the absolute best product ever released in the line.

If you are going to buy anything in the Soap & Glory collection, than definitely start with this one. It will add a gorgeous shimmery glow to your body for the summer, one that you...and all the boys will appreciate! Tee-hee!

This one gets a full 5 star rating from me, as well as 2 thumbs up! But it before it is gone!

Review: Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner

I was glad I picked up Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner, the same time I purchased the shampoo, because the conditioner was without a doubt one of the best conditioners I have used in my hair in a very long time. Possibly even years!

Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner is a bit pricier than what I usually pay for shampoos or conditioners, but it being my birthday I wanted to spoil myself with a little something extra, and frankly I am glad I did!

The Scent:

Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner has a fresh scent, mixed with a subtle dash of what smells like vanilla and coconut to me. It has a similar scent to the shampoo discussed below, but it is not as sweet. Nonetheless though, the scent is a nice one; one that nearly all ladies will appreciate.

In The Shower:

Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner is thick conditioner, but not too thick as to where it is hard to run through my hair. I saturated my entire head in the conditioner and let it sit in for about 4 minutes.

After rinsing, I could tell that the conditioner had worked its magic before I even got out to dry my hair! It was smooth and silky in the shower, soft, and felt sleek! I could not wait to see how it made my hair look after I got out to style it.

The Results:

My hair was left silky, sleek, and very, very manageable. The thing I liked the most though was the healthy high beam gloss it left behind as well.

The price of Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner was high, but I can vouch that I will buy this one again and again. The results are spectacular, and it was worth every penny!
