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.

Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Remover Wipes and Nourishing Night Cream

Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Remover Wipes and Nourishing Night Cream

I received samples of both Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Remover Wipes and Nourishing Night Cream from Crowdtap for review purposes. The following review is based on my own opinion after sampling the two products.

I loved the makeup remover wipes. They were strong enough to get even my eye liner off of my eyes. Although they were that strong, they did not irritate my face or eye area whatsoever. It's so easy to remove makeup with the wipes. I would normally avoid wipes since some of the other brands' products have not been as effective. However, I can honestly say that these get the job done.

The nourishing night cream is to be used once your face has been cleansed. I went ahead and applied it. It dried relatively quickly and does not leave any oily residue on your face (thank goodness)! It does not have a strong perfumed scent, which can be very irritating for people like me with sensitive skin.

All in all, the sampling went perfectly! I recommend both products.

Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask

Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask

I received the Valentia Clay Mask complimentary through BrandBacker campaign for review purposes. The following review reflects my own opinion on the product based on sampling. I found the mask to truly help me cleanse my skin of impurities. It goes on easy and feels cool and refreshing while moisturizing. I will definitely be incorporating it to my weekly facial at-home routine. It is super easy to use.

Westin Colonnade

Westin Colonnade - Coral Gables, FL

Wedding Venue

I had my wedding reception at the Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables, FL. It was a December wedding which made for beautiful holiday decoration to be widely visible throughout the hotel. The process of booking this venue was extremely easy. I met with their wedding coordinator, Patricia, and she was very professional and knowledgeable. She thought of details that never even crossed my mind. Patricia has a list of the vendors the hotel has had favorable experiences with in the past. This made booking all of the items that were not included very smooth. My husband and I were given an overnight stay at their Presidential suite. The suite had two floors and had two bathrooms and a dining area. The suite has everything you need to have your bridal party get ready at. The view from the room is beautiful. You can see for miles.

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum

I began using the Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum from Valentia. I have noticed that the fine lines that I have around my eye area have diminished. I also applied it to my knee area where I have a scar from an injury. I have noticed that the skin area has gotten tighter which in turn has improved the appearance of the scar. I would definitely recommend this product if you're looking to have a tighter and more even toned skin. Check out more product details in the links below:

Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

I received samples of Valentia's Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask and True Glow Eye Cream through Brandbacker for review purposes. The opinions below are my own.

The first thing I noticed when I first applied the hydrating serum was how lightweight it is! I've used plenty of serums in the past but they all leave my face bogged down since they are of a heavy consistency. The results are very favorable - soft skin. I mean really soft skin! For optimal results, I made sure to use it at night after I had deeply cleansed my skin of makeup and normal oil accumulated throughout the day. I have not experienced any breakouts as I've experienced in the past.

The benefits I've seen are:

- Moisturized skin

- Soft skin versus my normal dry skin

- Smooth skin tone & texture

- Radiant glow (noticed it in pics I took this weekend)

Cottonelle

Cottonelle Fresh Care

I received a complimentary sample of this product. The review below is my own opinion.

I cannot live without this product. I'll start with that. If you want a product that gives you a clean feeling every time, this is it. It has ripples which ensure a clean wipe every time. I prefer these cloths over having to use baby products or other wipes which don't really get the job done.
