eSalon Hair Color Review

I have been  a BzzAgent for a long time and as a BzzAgent I get to test free Products and I absolutely enjoy testing my free  Products.It helps me spread the word to my friends and family members about what is good and what is not and helps me determine if I want to buy a particular product or not.


So, when I got to test eSalon Hair Color I was very happy because I had never used their products and secondly I color my hair at home and very rarely at a Salon so I'm always looking for awesome hair coloring products .The best thing that I found about eSalon is that we can customize our hair color and order it on-line after submitting a short survey and the kit is delivered to our door with all items that we need in a box.

The Kit that I got was way cheaper then what I would have paid after  going to a  Salon and getting my hair colored and I also liked the fact we can color our hair anytime in the comforts of our home.

Visit https://www.esalon.com and submit a short survey to start the process of ordering I ordered soft black but since this was my first time ordering it so I entered in my survey that I wanted a semi permanent hair Color but very soon I got an e-mail from their professional Hair Colorists suggesting that I change my order to permanent color  instead of semi permanent since I want to cover my hair with color more than just the root touch up.  Look at this chart to see endless possibilities of hair color to suit every person's need.



My Kit arrived at my door very shortly after ordering however I did get an e-mail from them saying that my order is getting delayed because of the number of people that are ordering . I was very surprised that it didn't take them too long to get my order ready. So, I would say that they have excellent customer services  When I opened the kit I was extremely surprised to see that it had everything in it including the Color Guard for the hair line. I even started looking for the Gloves thinking that they don't have any Gloves in the Kit but Voila a pair of non latex Gloves(I'm allergic to Latex so this was a blessing for me) were also in the kit.

I have been  putting some  body or face lotion (which ever is available) on my hair line to protect my skin from getting hair color but I was always disappointed that the  lotion always got in to my hair and those hair strands would not get any hair color . But the color guard that I got in my eSalon hair color kit  was of a thicker consistency may be in the consistency of Vaseline so it didn't spread beyond the area that I wanted it to be applied.


After mixing two coloring agents in a bottle I got a strong whiff of   smell of Ammonia that was  over powering  for me but then I realized that it could be because I have always used semi permanent hair color so I wasn't used to this  type of smell. But the smell faded away after some time.There was a small timer in the kit with a Triple A battery (normally any battery operated items that we buy always says that battery not included so this was very touching moment for me).We can customize our kit and add as many accessories that we want or may be as less as we want. But as a Bzzagent testing this Product  my personal kit was free and I could order anything from their on-line store and spend  up to $65 . I could put a lot of extra items in it.

Look  at all the things in my Kit, that The Red Bottle in the Kit is  color safe shampoo and root touch up (it is sitting on the far left hand corner)  for later use when needed. I was very pleased with my kit.The end results were also far better then I had imagined. After washing my hair with the Shampoo that I purchased in my kit , it doesn't smell like hair color or ammonia like any more.

There are three easy steps in getting your custom hair color:
1. Complete our survey and get matched with an eSalon colorist.
2. Your colorist analyzes your answers and creates the perfect formula to reach your desired color
3. Your eSalon application conveniently arrives at your door, ready to work its magic

Dial Coconut Water and Refreshing Mango Hydrating Body Wash Review and giveaway

Do you love the smell of Tropical Island Fruits? Would you like to try a Body wash that has that fragrance?

I was sent a free full sized Sample + some free  full sized  Product Coupons of New Dial Coconut Water and refreshing Mango Hydrating Body Wash. I love Coconut Water and mangoes a lot and trying new Body washes is  my passion. So, I was very happy to try this one for free.

,

When I come back from work I look forward to take a long shower to cleanse my skin using a nice smelling Body wash that hydrates and moisturizes my skin.Skin care is very important to me so I use products that hydrates and nourishes my skin and gives me a fresh feeling shower after shower.

When I was a little girl my Grandma who lived in a beach area everyday she would buy me a fresh young Green Coconut from a near by Store  to drink the water and eat its fresh and tender meat. She would say that it is very good for your body and skin. She also bought lots of mangoes from a vendor and put them to get ripened in her basement so I ate  sweet Mangoes for my dessert. I still remember how much I loved going to the basement just to smell the fresh smell of ripening fruit. I would get slightly scared to go there all by myself because I was afraid that there might be some critters there (even though there were none) but my young mind thought that there could be something lurking there, I still went for the Fragrance of sweet Mangoes.

I was very excited to see this Body wash and it brought back all my childhood memories. Now I live in a place where I don't get tender  Coconut but I have to rely on Coconut drinks that are commercially packed and eat mangoes that don't taste so sweet.But a body wash having goodness and smell of these is a great feeling for me.

Coconut water is totally different from coconut milk and should not be confused with Coconut Milk because coconut water is  the actual water inside a  young green coconut.Coconut milk comes  from ripe and mature coconuts(the coconut meat is ground and milk is squeezed out of it)  this  tends to have a stronger and  somewhat oily fragrance. Green Coconut water has Antioxidants and Electrolytes to hydrate and nourish the skin.

This Body wash comes in gel form, I love gel type Body washes and shampoos. So, it was a perfect product for me to try and give my reviews.Since this has Coconut water so it is very refreshing and doesn't feel sticky after shower. The Body wash rinses away easily and doesn't leave any sticky, oily residue behind.

I tested this product in the shower on a sponge with warm water to build a good lather. After testing it few times I found out that I only  needed very little amount because it lathered up very well. I love having lots of soft lather in my shower. So, a 16 FL oz bottle will go a long way.

I just wish that it had stronger Mango smell other than that,  I loved everything about this Product.

Ingredients in the Body wash: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Peg-8, Glycerin, Fragrance, Cocos Nucifera (coconut) Fruit Extract, Polyquaternium-10, Cocamidopropyl Pg-dimonium Chloride, Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate, Propylene Glycol, Dmdm Hydantoin, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium Edta, Sodium Chloride, Blue 1, Red 33.

Cottonelle Wipes Review

I got to try Cottonelle Moist Wet Wipes from www. crowdtap.com. I'm a Crowdtapper and I get free products to test.

My Husband and I like a clean feeling every time we visit restroom so we had been using baby wipes for a long time but we also found out that it is gross and very unhygienic when they are sitting in trash bins until the trash is tossed in the big trash bin. No more baby wipes these are ideal for babies as well as grown-ups.

When I got accepted for this review I felt that this was the solution to my problems. Now I have no more used wet baby wipes in the trash bins. These are flushable and safe for sewer and septic tanks systems. The Cottonelle Moist Wet Wipes are Alcohol free and gives us a fresh and clean feeling between our showers. They are strong and do not tear or rip while using.

They come is variety of dispensers and then packs can be purchased to fill the dispenser. Even travel packs are available that I toss in my hand bag and take it to work or while I'm on vacation. These travel packs are available at Walmart for a buck each.

I shared my sample travel packs with my colleagues for them to try and they fell in love with the product as much as I did. These wipes are not only for using after the bathroom use but we can also clean our hands and face with it. I even clean spills if these are handy and with in my easy reach and most of the times they are.

Since they are flushable I see that my guests/ visitors use them because they don't feel embarrassed by leaving the used wipes in my trash bin.

Disclaimer: All the opinions in this review are my own and based upon my personal and my friends' opinion. I was not compensated in any way besides getting free test products and sample products to share.

Here is a Cherry Healey's fun ad of Cottonelle wet wipes and bath tissues:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9rmsTBGs9w

Here is a link to their website: https://www.cottonelle.com/products/cottonelle-fresh-care-flushable-moist-wipes?WT.mc_id=CTG&WT.srch=1

Why do I like them :

• 
  
• 1. They are Flushable hence they are hygienic 
• 2. They disintegrate after flushing and nothing is left behind floating in the toilet bowl
• 3. They are Sewer  and septic-safe, my husband would not allow me to use it if it was not safe.
• 4. They are Alcohol-free, a must have for me  in the products that I use 
• 5. One Touch dispensing tub that looks great in the Bathroom and refills are available to fill it up when needed.
• 6. They are versatile and are ideal for cleaning hands, face and even surfaces.
• 7. One wipe type ideal for the whole family because they are unscented and not every body can tolerate and not every body likes scented products.

I love them but one thing I would love to change is it's size and I wish that were slightly bigger is size.

Sweet 'n Low Review

My Family and I have cut down on sugar and we are constantly looking for a sweetener that doesn't taste bitter and  doesn't taste different but tastes almost like Sugar. So I was pretty happy when Crowdtap chose me for a campaign to promote Sweet 'N Low to my friends and family.

I got a Box of 50 Sachets of Sweet 'N Low  Sweetener and  5 sample packs with coupons for my friends.

We drink a lot of Coffee because we have a Keurig and we go through Sweetener a lot. My Husband and I absolutely love it.

Now that we have found out that Sweet 'N Low is not only for  sweetening our beverages and putting in my Original  Cheerios but we can also make Desserts, that has added our interest in Sweet 'N Low sweetener.

http://www.sweetnlow.com/recipes Here is where I find all the recipes that I love to try. I make these pretty often but I haven't made anything recently because I'm very busy teaching  my Students during their  Summer Break in Summer School.

I did a Party to introduce Sweet 'N Low for my Students' Parents and I made some Lemonade with hint of Mango Juice for that bright Color and added Sweet 'N Low for extra sweetness with out adding any extra calories. and gave them a sample of sweet 'N Low and coupon to try it at home. Each Mom went home with that, and I gave them a recipe card to try making something delicious at home. I also bought some pens and a pack of Crayons for the kids.

The color theme was yellow to go with Pink Sachets. Here are some Pictures from my Party.

This is how my Husband and I eat breakfast and thanks to Sweet 'N Low I don't add any calories that comes from real Sugar. It is a win win situation no Calories but sweetens up my Coffee and Original Cheerios.

Coppertone ClearlySheer for Sunny Days

Well, I get sun tanned very easily and I have always hated it because all my exposed skin area becomes dark in color and rest of my body that is covered with clothes and shoes etc. remains my normal skin color. I have a fairly light colored skin so that wasn't acceptable to me.

About 15 years ago when I lived in my Country, the concept of sunscreen was just coming up but I had never used it. Then we moved to US and we were living in Arkansas where it gets very warm and and sunny.My Son was only 5 years old at that time so we were outside a lot because he liked play outside a lot, this forced me to look out for a sunscreen. I would use it but I wasn't a fan of them because they smelled and my Son wouldn't like to come near me because of the strong smell. More over they leaved a streak on my skin if I wasn't careful and wasn't standing in front of the mirror to see that it is all gone.

I somehow managed with the products that I didn't like because at least it was protecting my skin.

Few Months ago I was sent  a small sized tube of Sunscreen with SPF 70 (I'll call it Product A) from a leading brand and it was supposed to be light weight. But after using it I found out that it took time to absorb in the skin and didn't disappear tight away left a streak on my skin. After that my skin felt a combination of being oily and sticky. I disliked that feeling.

 Here is the Picture I took after applying this sunscreen Product A

This is the Picture I took after applying Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30.

Then about 2 Months ago or so I got an opportunity to test Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen. I got pretty excited because the name itself suggested that the product is going to be silky smooth. But there was still a little doubt in my mind.

Anyway the box arrived with a 5 oz bottle of lotion SPF 30 , two spray bottles  of Continuous spray with SPF 50,  it also had three small tubes of Clearly Sheer sunscreen lotion SPF 30 and several $2 off coupons for sharing with my friends and family.

My Son is all grown up now and I don't have to be outside with my own kids any more however now I have a job that requires me to be out for prolonged periods of time and my colleagues also have similar issues. We work at a school and we have to be outside with our students while they are playing and while they are being picked up after school to go home.

Long hours of exposure was taking a toll on my skin. I tried my new products that I got in mail right away and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't smell like a regular Sunscreen. It had a mild floral scent to it (That's what I guess it is, I can't tell clearly what the smell is like but it smells good). I put it to test right away and applied it to my arm but before that I felt between my fingers and it felt very silky and smooth.

When I applied it to my skin I noticed that it got absorbed right away leaving my skin smooth and silky and not at all sticky. I have been using this product for the past at least 2 weeks or so and I'm extremely please with it. I think that I'll be buying this sunscreen for a long time to come.

I shared my coupons with two of my colleagues and gave one tube to my husband to take it to his workplace.

Thanks BzzAgent  and Coppertone for my Sample pack.
