Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Spray



Garnier Fructis CrowdKit

I received free samples of Garnier Fructis products for my review purposes. The opinion below is my own unbiased review of the products.

I'll start with my favorite, the shampoo + conditioner. The shampoo smells delicious but that's not all. It thoroughly cleanses without drying out your scalp. It leaves your hair moisturized for days. I try not to wash my hair everyday. In fact, I try to go three days without washing if possible (not in summer unfortunately). This shampoo leaves my hair clean and not oily for the entire three days. Huge plus! The conditioner helps relax my frizzy hair and gives me a fighting chance against Miami humidity, which is a KILLER.

The hair spray is amazing. It truly holds for at least 24 hours despite sweat or rain falling on your hair. I put it to the test this month as I took it with me on a European trip. I sweat like crazy in the trip and my hair, which was up in a ponytail, did not move! It was surreal to me since my other hair sprays (twice the cost of this one) do not hold up. In Paris, I got drenched on the Eiffel Tower. My hair would not show that since it stayed neatly sleek back. Totally recommend this product. I did not use it for 48 hours so I can't attest to that claim. But seeing how it worked during 24 hours, I wouldn't doubt that it would hold for longer. I gave out samples to friends and family. They have all thanked me immensely for the products. Some used it for wedding guest hairstyles and were extremely impressed with the hold.


Instyler Blue Turbo Ionic Dryer



Instyler Blu Turbo Ionic Dryer

I received a complimentary hair dryer from Instyler for my honest review. The review is my unbiased opinion.

About the Product
  • Lightest and most powerful dryer that dries hair up to 2x faster
  • Turbo ionic switch with turbo ion and low ions settings
  • Infinity airflow dial rolls up and down to customize airflow for drying and styling needs
  • 2 heat settings and cool shot button
  • 9' Pro Power Cord
I was very impressed with how lightweight this hair dryer really is. It looks so heavy when you see it pictured but it is the total opposite. The hair dryer is super modern looking. From the design it has featuring a quadricular indentitation to the clear blow tip all the way to the blue light feature. It has all of the settings you would expect from a normal hair dryer. The air flow is strong and steady which makes for a thorough heating process through the hair. I definitely recommend it! Check out my video review on Instagram (@MiamiLadyLiving) for more.

Amope



Amope Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry Foot File

I received a complimentary Amope Wet & Dry Foot File through a campaign in Crowdtap. The opinion below is my own.

I loved that the foot file comes with the charging station and a rechargeable battery. I tried the product both in wet and dry conditions and found it works better in the shower. Since your feet are soaked and your skin is moisturized, the foot file gets more done than if you use it on dry feet. I found that if your foot is dry, you will not see much improvement. This foot file is definitely not a substitute for say, a PedEgg, since it does not file down as much as you would expect. The foot file can be used after you remove calluses and such as a smoother. It definitely does do that well.
