I’m not generally a primer girl (to be honest, I usually just moisturize). Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer May just change that!
I’m a fan of natural products, especially if you’re going to be applying them to your skin daily! That’s why I was excited to be able to try the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer. I’ve found that I can apply it in the morning and my make up is still fresh and not oily by dinner time. It’s also not caused any breakouts and my face is much less oily than with other primers I’ve tried (or with my moisturizer). I’m interested in buying some other products by Nude by Nature as other natural brands have been a disappointment.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50

Not a fan of most sunscreens. They go on too thick, white, and greasy! Even the spray on applications are questionable - too thin, hard to tell where you’ve applied (and does it even stay on?!) Neutrogena Hudro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 goes on so smooth! It’s not terribly thick, like most other brands, yet not so thin that it runs off and is hard to apply. The application is so smooth and absorbs in quickly without the greasy feeling or white residue typical of sunscreen. Even the kids don’t mind having it applied! It’s amazing that it can have such a high SPF without turning your skin ghostly white. I will definitely be using this to protect the kids from the hot sun this summer.

I received a small sample of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream in the past and loved it! - but forgot the name of it to invest in some more. You only need to use a small amount of this gel cream to hydrate and make your skin smooth. The scent is also amazing yet subtle. My one concern is that when you apply the cream it dries in very velvety smooth and almost feels a little too fake. Thankfully, I don’t go around rubbing my hands on my face so it didn’t bother me much! It works great by itself and hydrates under your make up for good covereage if you don’t want to use primer.

I don’t often use make up removing cloths but have been using them much more frequently with the addition of Neutrogena All-In-One Make Up removing Cleansing Wipes!
I’m a busy mama and by the end of the day I’m often tired. These all in one wipes make it easy to remove my make up and get ready for bed quickly. They remove all traces of make up with just one wipe (even the heavy amount of the kids’ dance and gymnastics make up is no match). And have I mentioned how soft and gentle they are?! My previous make up removing wipes left make up and a gross film on my face that needed to be washed off afterwards. They were also very rough on my face and skin. I thought they needed to be in order to remove make up effectly - Neutrogena All-In-One Make Up removing Cleansing Wipes proved me wrong.
Even if you don’t wear make up often (or at all), I would highly suggest putting these in your purse for a quick refreshing! (You can even use them for cleaning kids’ faces, or your underarms for stressful or hot days!)

My hair never holds a curl - it doesn’t seem to matter what product I use. That’s why I wasn’t sure what to expect from Tressemé Smooth Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray Hold Level 2.
I had maternity photos taken this week and exuded it was the prefect time to try this product out! Before curling I put a quick spray on each piece of hair and then another quick spritz on my whole head after all the curls were done. The pictures were done 2 hours later after a one and a half hour drive down a bumpy road. My hair didn’t change at all! Even by the days end, my curls were still in place.
I couldn’t quite run my fingers trough my hair really easily but it wasn’t hard to do at all to loosen the curl a bit. The next day my curls were still there! I’m not often amazed by new products but Smooth Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray Hold Level 2 did!
The smell is also amazing 1 even my daughter asked what perfume I was using rather than asking what that awful smell was. It didn’t have the same heavy, chemical smell that all other hair sprays have.
This will definitely be my new go to product for my own hair and for my 3 girls’ hair. This is perfect for cheer, dance, etc when you need a long hold.

I am a big fan of hair oils so I was pretty interested in trying LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR 3 IN 1 BENEFIT OIL. It didn't let me down! First, like the other products in this line, it smells amazing. It has just the right amount of scent without being overpowering and the ylang ylang with coconut is reminiscent of summer!
The LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR 3 IN 1 BENEFIT OIL can be used when your hair is towel dried after a shower or I also like to use it in between washes. LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR 3 IN 1 BENEFIT OIL hydrates your hair just the right amount with one pump but left my hair greasy with two (it's a fine line you walk with hair oils!) I do suggest getting a boar bristle brush if you find your hair is too greasy as it will help spread out the oil. The hair from your scalp never reaches the ends of your hair so using an oil is a must in my opinion. I love using this oil to keep my hair nice and moisturized!

I was excited to try this new line of products and even more so when I read which scent I would receive. LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR SHAMPOO smells like summer and would be a delicious scent to use in the winter (when you're wishing for summer) as well as in summer.
Using the LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR SHAMPOO I was hopeful. The texture was really good - thick enough to be able to handle but not too thick that it was difficult to use. The foaming, however, left something to be desired. I am someone who likes quite a bit of bubbles (it makes me feel cleaner, even though scientifically this isn't true). Typically more natural products like LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR SHAMPOO don't have as much foam but I was still hopeful.
This brings me to the next part, second good thing to the delightful scent is the fact that LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR SHAMPOO is a more natural product than your average brand. They also try to be environmentally friendly. Do be aware, however, that until most natural products it does contain SLS's.
All in all, I would recommend this shampoo for those who are looking for a more natural option than your average shampoo but not quite as committed to ditching their familiar products for the most natural brands.

I had my doubts, I'll admit. After washing and conditioning my hair with LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR CONDITIONER my hair felt a bit dry still. I wasn't sure how well it would brush out and react overall. However, when I towel dried my hair and ran a wide tooth comb through it (as it's not suggested to brush or your hair may break) I was pleasantly surprised! My other name brand conditioners would leave my hair difficult to comb through but LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR CONDITIONER made combing my hair a breeze!
When I was using it in the shower, I didn't feel as if it was conditioning enough and put more product in that was likely necessary (I didn't have to use much for my daughters waist length hair). Rinsing it was quick and easy; from reading the directions on the bottle I knew that I shouldn't have to use as much water to rinse the LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT OIL & YLANG YLANG HOPE AND REPAIR CONDITIONER out.
When my hair dried it was quite smooth and seemed to have more moisture than usual. And, of course, the scent is amazing. It reminds me of summer without being too overpowering or perfume scented. I like that it is more natural than most products but don't like that it still has SLS in it.

I recently tested the entire line of LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET COCONUT & YLANG YLANG TROPICAL HYDRATION. They all had the same amazing scent but the body wash was my favorite. The scent of this line reminds me of summer (and it's a welcome scent with Canadian winter dragging on!) It has a great foam and a did a good job cleaning. I like that this line is environmentally friendly and more natural than other brands but am not a fan of the added SLS. It seems to fit somewhere between the average brand and the 100% natural brands. I would consider buying this body wash again because it is an improvement from the average brand and does a good job cleaning. The scent is also a big factor as it isn't overpowering but has a nice, not too light scent that doesn't smell like all the other perfumed brands.

This winter had been dry for everyone's skin - especially the face! I had used another well known brand in the past for facial moisturizing but was excited to try something new as my old brand was just okay. AVEENO® Absolutely Ageless® Leave-on Mask was amazing for my face! I had no problems with skin sensitivity or acne breakouts with this moisturizer and didn't need to reapply halfway through the day. I had a dry spot previous to using AVEENO® Absolutely Ageless® Leave-on Mask but it was gone within a few days of regular twice a day use. I would (and do!) recommend this facial mask for anyone with regular or sensitive skin. The icing on the cake is the amazing smell - I love it! Some moisturizers smell like your grandmas cream and others are just strongly perfumed. AVEENO® Absolutely Ageless® Leave-on Mask has just the right amount of scent.
The price may be a deterent for some but it lasts for a long time (only a small amount is needed; apply after washing for best results in locking in moisture!)
