Paula’s Choice Resist Hyaluronic Acid Booster

Cost: Full Size - $45.00 

Let get started with this review! I hate to say it, but I was pretty excited to receive this free product to test from BzzAgent. Let's face it, I know I'm getting older (as much as I want to deny it) And I know I am beginning to show the starting signs of aging (Boo!!) To start, I received 5 trial size bottles of the Resist Hyaluronic Acid Booster, 5 copies of 20 Beauty Myths Busted (Click on link for PDF Version) and a tons of coupons to pass out to my friends. (Don't miss the 20% off coupon code at the end of my post for you too!)

Before pictures: 

Here are some pictures of my most troubling spots!

Day 1:

I began by using this every night before I went to bed, after I washed my makeup off. As you can see in the next picture, the consistency is like a gel. It is clear, dries clear with no leftover residue.

By Day 3, (I have yet to see any changes)  The product page on their website states. "This specialized hyaluronic acid anti-aging booster plumps fine lines and prevents moisture loss. Add just a few drops to your favorite moisturizer and prepare to be amazed. Anti-Aging, Extra Sensitive Skin, Wrinkles For All Skin Types Repairing ingredients visibly plump wrinkles and fine lines". This product has NOT caused any type of allergic reaction, no redness, no bumps. As of now, I see no difference. The bottle says you can use 1-2 times per day. Tomorrow morning I will begin using this before I apply my makeup and before I go to bed to see if there is any difference.  I will provide another update in a few days. 

They also have a trial size, Currently the the deluxe trial size of the Resist Hyaluronic Acid Booster is currently on sale for only $9

You can also get 20% off your next order at PaulasChoice.com with coupon code: PRBZZ20, and build a skin care routine that’s right for you!

Review:

I must say, I think I have a new favorite ice cream. I was lucky enough to taste test the Tiramisu flavor. All I can say is YUM! This ice cream tastes exactly like the cake maybe even better. This tasty treat has delicate mascarpone gelato, decadent espresso sauce, ladyfinger cookie pieces and gourmet cocoa.  My husband unfortunately did want to try this flavor since he doesn't like Tiramisu however, I think I might have to get the Vanilla Caramel or Triple Chocolate flavor to share next.

Pinchme or pinch not... that is the question?

I have been using both BzzAgent and Influenster for my product testing experiences. 

There are pro's and con's with using this site. First of all you have to be available on Tuesday at 11am to have your best chances in receiving free products.

Here are two of the samples I have received so far:

One thing to note, the products from PinchMe are sample sized. The products from BzzAgent and Influenster are Full sized of products usually. You can scroll through my posts and see what my previous free product kits look like from each of these companies.

Also, you only have to do a couple of things for Pinchme. It's alot less work then BzzAgent and Influenster. So in retrospect you give back about what you get. You only have to do one survey. Then tell them whether or not you will be purchasing the item again, you do have the option to purchase the item, the site directs you to the different outlets for purchase.

I received both these items free for product testing purposes from PinchMe

Schick® Hydro Silk® Sensitive Care® Razor

If you looking for a better razor, look no further.  I have used various different disposable razors. They all seems the same to me, until I received the Schick® Hydro Silk® Sensitive Care® Razor. With the harsh winters of Minnesota to deal with, I tend to have very dry skin, usually nick myself at least once each time I shave and I have to shave every single day. After my first use of this razor I was highly impressed on how soft my legs were. Not only that, the next day I did NOT need to shave my legs again! That part make me super excited! The moisture ring around the razor actually helps from preventing nicks as well. No more nicks for me! My legs are so moisturized I don't need to have lotion put on right after my shower! The moisturizer ring around the razor works so good, you almost don't need shaving cream. The only thing that seems a little steep in the price.  The price various from 5.97 to 9.00 (for one single razor) depending on where you go. The $4 OFF coupons from BzzAgent do help with the cost.  A four pack of razor replacement cartridges range  12.74 to 17.99.  I would definitely buy these again but only with coupons!

Note: There is a little suction cup that sticks to the wall that holds the razor. I have yet to be able to keep it attached to the wall for more than a short stint of time.

I have received this product from BzzAgent completely free for product testing and review.

Update - Its been about 4 weeks of using the Schick® Hydro Silk® Sensitive Care® Razor and the razors are still going strong. It's been a sturdy razor, I've dropped it several times and the razor does not pop off like others do. I've been pretty impressed with this razor so far, especially the knick proof shaving. The handle has a pretty nice softer grip, making it easier to get to angled places. I would say the only thing I dislike is the price. I think it's pretty steep for a razor but then again, you are definitely getting a higher quality disposable razor.

I will be putting these lovely too the test soon by going ice fishing all day long. I'm sure they will hold up to the challenge!

I must say this is a very smooth and flavorful coffee.

Update:

Even after having tried my free samples from BzzAgent, my husband and I continue to buy green mountian coffee. The Three Continental Brand is still my favorite but we have ventured out and tried Green Mountian's Gingerbread and Special Reserve 100% Kona.GREEN MOUNTAIN COFFEE® is a brand that will stay in my household because I know it will continue to impress and hold up to the standard of coffee we enjoy.

Curel

My newest product received from BzzAgent is Curel's Intensive Healing Moisturizer. I received a nice sample pack completely free! 

I will be documenting my results of testing this product out. I do have rather dry, cracked hands, between household cleaning and knitting my hands can take a beating. This picture doesn't really do justice but it at least somewhat shows the damage to my skin. 

Day 1

Update

Using Curel Intensive Moisturizer has helped my hands tremendously. After one month of using this moisturizer 2 to 3 times per day on my hands, I have seen a dramatic change. My hands were dry, cracked and sore in some parts. After using this moisturizer, my hands are now soft and smooth again. What I love about this Moisturizer is that it doesn't leave my hands greasy. After about a few minutes it soaks well into my skin and I can go about whatever I was doing. I keep a jar of this moisturizer at work, and a jar in my purse. I have even let some of my co-workers test the lotion themselves and they are always stopping my by desk to use some more! I will definitely continue to use this moisturizer, this will come in real handy throughout the winter in Minnesota!

TruMoo

BzzAgent has provided another awesome deal! Besides getting to test TruMoo's organic Milk (that post will be coming soon).  BzzAgent informed us that TruMoo is offering a change to win a Goosebumps Haunted Halloween Vacation. Click on TruMoo to enter. Also just for signing up you can get a $2 off Goosebumps DVD coupon.

Update:
After bring this first half gallon home, I am already requested to buy another. The kids first picked out the Halloween Vanilla Milk. The kids absolutely loved it. They said it wasn't too sweet, it was perfect. They especially loved putting it in their cereal, it made it "extra yummy".


Update:
With school starting, sports are ramping up, my family is always on the go. I try to avoid living on fast food, and give my children the healthiest on the go meal. TruMoo's single serving work great. As active as my kids are, they need all the nutrition they can get. What really is a plus is that the cows that produce this milk have no  growth hormones given to them and that they use real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.  Another plus is it still has nine essential nutrients children need. The flavors are great, no icky aftertaste, all four of my children give it two thumbs up (and two big toes!)  If given the option they would prefer TruMoo over anything else every time!

Construct-Bots Transformers Review -
My stepson who is 8, still has not put these down after having received them 5 days ago. When he first opened up the set he asked his sister to play with him. He decided to put together Optimus prime and his sister (age 9) Megatron. It took them a little over an hour to put them together on their own. There were a couple of times they needed help but eventually they got it together. They also enjoyed creating them into cars. My step-son is more interested in keeping them as their respected robot and not switching them around, "Megatron is Megatron and Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime" he tells me. The toys themselves seem high quality and very durable. The cases are pretty nifty (one for each bot but I think with the amount of little pices you have with each toy it should have some kind of latch to ensure no pieces get lost. My Step-son was really looking forward to trying out the Construct-bots mobile app but it is still not available for Android. Overall I would definitely buy this product again and for others it's great gift!

Goody Ouchless Hair Ties

Goody Ouchless Hair Ties

Goody's brand new Ouchless Ribbon Elastics offer a new twists to using the standard hair tie. They are extremely cute little “Ribbons” that are soft and stretchy. They are very fashionable and comfortable. I have three daughters that all have extremely long hair. These ties work wonders and don’t pull massive amounts of hair out of their heads when they are removed. I received a five pack of these hair accessories courtesy of Influenster for review purposes. A five pack of these hair ties will retail for between $4.99-5.99. I've started seeing this product trickle in through the stores. I have no doubt they will be a good hit, especially those with longer, thick hair. The elastics come in five colors; black, grey, silver, purple, and fuchsia. Each elastic is round and knotted at one end. During my testing purposes, I have found that in the two weeks of constantly using them, they have not stretched out and stay in place throughout the day or even sleeping. Even my daughters who are very rambunctious have yet to have a tie fall out of their heads. Thank you Influenster for letting me try an awesome product

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream

This BB cream feels more like a tinted moisturizers but it's one of the lightest feeling base makeup I've ever tried. Olay is known for their skin care products and I actually wasn't disappointed at all by this product. This products is very forgiving and very bendable. The sheer pigment helps blend light redness and light blemishes away.

I wouldn't use just this product as a foundation, but I would definitely use this as a base. On its own, as it leaves a natural moisturized finish With sunscreen as an added bonus. This is highly recommended if your looking for a good moisturizer with a tinted finish.

Country Life's Maxi-Hair Vitamins

I received this Country Life's Maxi-Hair Vitamins supplement from Influenster. It's been three weeks since I started taking it. My husband has even notice a new "glow" to me. I have noticed my hair is shinier and has grown quite a bit. I have not noticed a change in my skin or my nails. I'll continue to take these supplements and see if I notice any more changes. These pills are kind of on the large size. I have to swallow them one at a time. If they could make them a little smaller I think that would be a plus!
