Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Products

Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer

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

I have been a Purell user for decades. I've always loved how the brand is continually coming up with products that are both practical and effective. The following products are proof of that. Purell is used in the leading hospitals and in many office buildings. In my building, there are pumps everywhere.

These are my absolute favorite because they are so practical. These little guys fit anywhere and attach to any bag. They have a unique design with their jelly wrap cover. Each of the scents are amazing. This summer's collection is by far the best in my opinion. Makes you feel right at the beach with just one whiff. They come in the following scents: Coconut Beach Siesta, Ocean Kiss, Blushing Pink Orchid and Mandarin Medley. One squirt of this product is equal to two squirts of any other leading national brand. It's no wonder most of the leading hospitals use it throughout their facilities. In my own building which has more than 5,000 employees, there are pumps throughout the building and in every bathroom with Purell Advanced Sanitizer.

Next up, the full size Refreshing Gel pump. This product kills 99.99% of the most common germs that make you sick. The pump feature is great because you can have it at home or at your office and use it with ease. The other great aspect is that it leaves your hands feeling soft. Some of the competing brands have products that kill germs, but they leave your hands dry and can even crack skin with time.

This next product has all of the same features as the previous product with one bonus feature. It has an amazing Aloe scent. It smells clean and refreshing and gives you more of a moisturized feel. Your hands are clean and soft after every use.

This product is great with the kids. One spray and you and your kids are germ-free. It is made with 100% naturally-renewable alcohol including plant-based alcohol. It is also naturally-fragranced with skin-conditioning essential oils.

I strongly encourage you to check out all of these amazing products. Summer time is always germ-filled, especially with the kids in camp or with all of the travelling that goes on. It's good to have anti-bacterial with you always. I can't think of a better brand to have than Purell. :)

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.

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.
