L’Oreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Moisturizing Shampoo


Monday, October 20, 2008

loreal vive pro hydra gloss moisturizing shampooIs my hair getting the royal treatment? With L’Oreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Moisturizing Shampoo($5), it surely is. This is a great shampoo for very dry & damaged hair which is a good time to use for the upcoming winter months. It’s made with the best of nature’s ingredients: royal jelly, olive oil, and omega moisture complex. It gives the hair 7x more moisture with high glossed hair as the finishing touch.

This is one of the best shampoo’s that came from L’Oreal in my opinion. My hair is very dry and damaged since I put a significant amount of heat on my hair and it’s starting to become overly processed everytime I use a perm so this shampoo helps tremendously. I’m also very impressed on how it left my hair shiny, soft and a bit thicker. Extra thickness is always a plus. This formula is very intense so ladies if you have major hair damage, try treating it with L’Oreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Moisturizing Shampoo. This shampoo definitely deserves a 5/5.

Check out L’Oreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Moisturizing Conditioner. You can find both products at your local drugstore.

Dr Brandt Microdermabrasion Body


Friday, October 17, 2008

microdermabrasion bodyFor over 2 years now, I’ve used Dr. Brandt Skincare Microdermabrasion facial treatment to exfoliate away my dead skin cells. (They’re the culprits that clogs my skin pores and causes my acne). I consider Dr Brandt Microdermabrasion as a treat to my face because it always does the job right and I haven’t found any other product better than this. It could also be that I paid $75 for this product but that’s another story. :)

Dr. Brandt has been my friend for a long time and I’m excited to hear that my favorite microdermabrasion product will now have a sister, Dr Brandt Skincare Microdermabrasion body. I’ve been waiting for Dr. Brandt to release a new microdermabrasion product for the body because I want my skin to feel as soft and smooth as my face does. Besides, doesn’t my body deserve a treat once in a while too? I think so!

Dr Brandt Microdermabrasion body($45) polishes and softens the skin using aluminum oxide crystals. It attacks even the driest of skin such as the elbows, knees, and feet, leaving them well moisturized. Here’s another benefiting beauty factor: It increases skin cell renewal. Skin health and beauty is important and Dr Brandt understands that which is why his skincare products are so essential.

Thank you Dr. Brandt. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!

Bethesda Sunscreen Soap Giveaway!


Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Hello my fellow readers. It’s a new day and a new giveaway. Yay!!!!

Bethesda Skincare is introducing a new soap with sunscreen? Yes!! Sunscreen. How amazing is that? Bethesda Sunscreen Soap is the world’s first all-natural sunscreen body bar with multi-vitamins that nourishes the body as well as protecting it. So here’s the rundown on what it does:

  1. By using Bethesda Sunscreen Soap in the shower or bath, it provides an invisible layer of sun protection which is great for everyday use.
  2. It has a minimum of SPF 10 to protect the skin from those bad UV rays beaming from the sun. It’s FDA approved which ensures protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
  3. Bethesda Sunscreen Soap carries over 50 vitamins and minerals to help support healthy skin. The benefits of having vitamin A, C, and E in a soap bar, provides the skin with powerful antioxidants. We all know how important antioxidants are with acne, cell and tissue growth, and several other skin benefits.

It utilizes 4 key ingredients which is also known as the “Power Four”:

  • Aloe Vera Gel: anti-inflammatory/immunity booster
  • Chlorophyll: cleanses/deodorizes
  • Healing Balm of Gilead: soothes/disinfects
  • Glycerin: “hydroscopic” moisturizer

Ok, so here’s my review:

I think you pretty much know how I feel about this soap. Why else would I do a giveaway.. Right? Well, I’m going to go a little more in depth with this soap review and say how much I LOVE IT. I am so glad I had the chance to try this soap. Honestly, it’s the best bathing soap I’ve ever used. I love the fact that it has sunscreen and 50+ multivitamins and minerals because overall, it’s promoting healthy skin. After using it, I was amazed of how soft and smooth my skin was and it felt so cleansed. No need to put on lotion afterward use. That’s how well it moisturizes. The smell is lovely and refreshing and I just can’t get enough of it. It also helped with my acne too.

Okay. So here’s the deal. This time I am giving away this soap bar to 2 lucky readers in my Bethesda Sunscreen Soap Giveaway. To enter, fill out form below. To learn more about Bethesda Sunscreen Soap and other Bethesda products, check out their site at www.bethesdaskincare.com

Friday, October 3, 2008

Happy Friday! I have a special treat for you today. That’s right a Giveaway!! Sorry it has been a while since the last giveaway back in August; but, no worries because there are even more giveaways this month so keep reading. :) Okay…. back to this wonderful giveaway.

Total Activation: The New 5 Step Fitness Mantra is a health and wellness book written by physical therapist and fitness trainer, Nitin Chhoda. Total Activation takes a new total body approach to weight loss and fitness for America. Instead of focusing on just the physical body, Nitin incorporates Indian philosophies such as yoga (which I love) to help others live a healthier lifestyle.

In the book, he compares American lifestyle to Indian lifestyle across 5 dimensions of wellness. These 5 dimensions are also known as the EPSSI fitness equation where one improves their (E) emotional, (P) physical, (S) social, (S) spiritual, (I) intellectual health and transform their life. In the book, he reveals the secrets to weight loss, diet, and wellness which allows Indians to stay healthy and fit.

Nitin Choda book is recently endorsed by the famed fitness trainer from “The Biggest Loser” on NBC, Jillian Micheals. He’s also been featured on “Martha Stewart Living Radio”, and seen in “Elle India”, and “Self” magazines.

Staying in shape has always been important to me and is vital for living a stronger and healthier life. It should be the same for you too which is why I am promoting this book and giveaway.

So, I’m giving away this book to one lucky reader. To enter the giveaway, fill out the form below. For more information on Nitin Chhoda’s “Total Activation” book, please visit: www.totalactivationbook.com.
