Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus Shea Butter + Manuka Honey
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus Shea Butter + Manuka HoneyHi Readers, I don't know about you, but New Jersey winters are super cold and my skin starts to change; I'm sure you can relate no matter which climate you live in. My skin becomes dry and itchy, which can be uncomfortable when wearing warm clothing. I found a way to combat dry itchy skin and feel best in my skin. What if I told you, you could purchase a body wash with Shea Butter Ribbons that are equally as moisturizing as a body lotion? Sounds too good to be true, but it's real!! The Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus Shea + Manuka Honey Body Wash is a must-have product! It's the best body wash I've come across in years. Please continue reading and I will explain the benefits of the body wash, how the ingredients are great for your skin, how to use it, and get the most out it. We are currently in the midst of the holiday season, which means everyone is busy, let alone we barely have time for ourselves! Sometimes the only time we can relax is in the bath or shower. To make the most of your time, this body wash has incorporated luxurious Shea Butter ribbons with Manuka Honey to work as a moisturizer, while cleansing your skin. This means that if you decide to take a longer shower, you don't have to apply a body lotion because your skin is already hydrated from the body wash! This is so convenient and perfect for a busy woman, or man on the go. Olay's signature ingredient within their products is Shea Butter, so if you've been an Olay enthusiast, do not worry, you will have it within this body wash! I bet you are wondering how to make the most of this product and what it actually smells like, now it's time! You get 18 FL OZ of soap, and with the amount of lather it produces, it will last me such a long time. To get the best experience using this soap, squeeze some product onto a damp puff and lather until you get foam. Next, apply it onto the body in circular motions. The puff will gently exfoliate and the body wash will cleanse your skin more efficiently and moisturize your skin even deeper with the Shea Butter and Manuka Honey Ribbons. The body cleanser's subtle aromatics fill the shower and take me away to a spa-like experience in my own home, it's so relaxing! Once out of the shower or bath I see and feel immediate results. I don't have to apply lotion; I might just put some on my feet and hands. The scent is very subtle on the skin and it will not over power you throughout the day. Let's say you'd prefer another scent of this body wash. Lucky for you there is an Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus Shea Butter with Lavender Oil Body Wash as well. Lavender Oil helps promote calmness, so this would be a great addition to your Olay collection for nighttime. You can use the Manuka Honey for your morning shower and Lavender at night in the bath to fall asleep faster. There are options for your scent preference. Lastly, I want to invite YOU to join ME in the Winter Skin Challenge. Just use the Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus one time for smoother and moisturized skin that feels luxurious and looks amazing! You will not be disappointed and I know it will be a favorite of yours after that one use! To participate in the challenge head on over to PGShop.com. Have a GREAT Holiday Season!

Hi Readers, It's been a while since I've been here to talk to you! If you want to see what I've been up to, be sure to go check out my Instagram @michellelobrace (www.instagram.com/michellelobrace). Today I'm here to talk about the teeth-whitening brand, HiSmile, and how my teeth-whitening journey played out! If you want to know more, keep reading!! My Teeth Whitening Experience with HiSmile About HiSmile HiSmile is an Australian Based Teeth Whitening Company. Their products are gluten free, vegan and don’t use any harsh chemicals to avoid sensitivity; and are sold through their website worldwide. The teeth whitening kit you can get for $59.99 which includes the LED light that self times 10 minutes, mouth tray, shade guide, and instructions, which you get enough for 6 days. You can also buy all items separately once you run out or decide to get another device. HiSmile has toothpaste duos for day and night, mouthwash, whitening pen, all to help with your teeth-whitening journey. They also have subscriptions where you can get refills each month to keep up with whitening! My Experience Using HiSmile I received my kit relatively fast and the box it was in was so cute and sturdy, I approve! Inside there was the light, which you had to activate, by removing the plastic tab to get the battery to work, very easy and it was ready to go. The mouth tray smelled a lot like plastic, therefore I decided to air it out for a bit and clean it with toothpaste. While it was drying, I read the directions on how to use the device. All you need to do is attach the mouth tray to the light, put ¼ of the gel onto the top part of the tray, and the second ¼ on the bottom. I did this and it was super easy. Next, I tried to put it in my mouth. The mouth guard was way too big so it was a bit uncomfortable to wait 10 minutes but I did hold out until the timer went off. Having different size mouth trays would be super helpful and a great addition if they’re looking to expand their brand even more. There was a shade guide where you can pick where you start off with the treatment and when you finish the 6 day system. I started out at a 4 and now I’m at a 2. I would recommend this to anyone if you’re looking for a good teeth-whitening system that’s quick and won’t cause tooth sensitivity. However, if you have a smaller mouth I would not recommend this since it is a little uncomfortable. *I was sent the HiSmile Kit in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own are always honest. Thank you for the constant support!! You all mean so much to me! I am most active on my Instagram account @michellelobrace, so go follow me!! Comment below with ideas for future videos!

Use the code:JXJCX Hi Readers, Summer is in full swing here on the east coast. The hot, humid, sunny days with rain showers is not uncommon lately! When the weather is so hot I like to use minimal makeup or sweat proof makeup. I was lucky enough to get sent the Jane Iredale Voxbox, sent complementary from Influenster for an honest review, which included the Pure & Simple Makeup Kit in the shade Light. Keep reading you if you want to know what the kit includes and if I liked it! What Does This Kit Include? The kit includes two PurePressed Base Mineral Foundations. The lighter shade is Bisque and the darker is Warm Silk. The formula is made of micronized minerals including broad spectrum SPF20 to protect you from UVA/UVB sun rays. It’s oil-free and you can use the darker shade as a foundation and lighter shade as a concealer. Next, is the PurePressed Blush in the shade Copper Wind. It’s formulated with minerals and antioxidants, (such as pomegranate) to soothe and nourish your skin. There are two shades in the PurePressed Eye Shadows, Oyster, which is a white pearl shade and Supernova, which is a satin deep purple. These shadows are crease resistant and made to be long lasting, also suitable for sensitive eyes. Lastly, the Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in the shade Forever Peach. It is long lasting and rich in botanicals that “work with your chemistry to enhance your natural coloring and flatter your skin’s undertone.” What do I think of the Pure & Simple Makeup Kit? I used the eyeshadows first, Oyster for the whole eyelid and Supernova for the outer V. The shadows were very hard to apply. It took a while to blend them properly, however once I used Supernova over top Oyster, it was way easier to use. Instead of using the applicator that came with the kit, I used my own blending brushes. Next I went onto the foundation. I used Warm Silk as the base, and Bisque as the concealer since it’s lighter. I used the brush that came with the kit and it went on very streaky, but you can see if was a medium coverage foundation. Once my face kinda looked scary, I blended it in with a damp beauty blender and it looked really nice and smooth. It felt light on the skin and not powdery. The blush is a very pretty peach shade and super pigmented. I swiped it over my cheeks for a little flush. This was probably my favorite item of the whole kit. Now lastly the lip/cheek stain, I only used it for my lips. It adjusts to your pH and creates a custom color. I wound up seeing a bright pinky/peach color which was nice and natural. My look was finished and I ran out to do a few errands, went on with my day and when it was time for bed I took my makeup off. It stayed on for the most part, it faded a bit but it held up better than I would have thought for a powder foundation. I think application would be better if I used my own tools compared to the ones that were given in the kit. If you have any more questions or comments about this kit let me know and I will give you more information! Thank you for watching my videos and reading my blog!! I really appreciate it!

Use the code:JXJCX Hi Readers, If you are new to my blog, welcome! If not, welcome back!! If you have been following me for a while, you know I love skincare and use natural remedies to stay healthy. I recently came across a brand, Grace & Stella; they have amazing skincare and pampering products for anyone you could imagine! I was intrigued by their Honey Facial Masks for so many reasons, which I'll talk about in my review. You get 6 masks for $12.95 USD, which is a great deal…about $2 a mask! Continue reading If you want to know more about how these masks/review and how honey is great to incorporate into your skincare routine! *I was gifted these masks, however the review is my honest opinion. Health Benefits of Using Honey Honey is seriously a miracle food when it comes to staying healthy. Many people try to steer clear because of the calories and sugar content, however when I see honey I say bring it closer! Yes, there are more calories in honey than agave nectar or zero calorie sweeteners..but there are studies shown that those items are terrible for your health. Honey is anti-bacterial , anti-fungal, anti-viral, has anti-aging properties, promotes healthy glowing skin, fights acne etc. I could go on and on about it haha! As for this blog post, we will not be eating it so this is a calorie free honey product that you may like!! What are the Honey Facial Masks about? These masks claim to leave your skin hydrated, plump, and radiant while removing debris from your pores. As I stated in the previous section honey has been used for centuries due to its healing and antioxidant properties, fights against acne, skin damage, and aging. You put on the mask for 20-30 minutes and rub the excess serum into your skin afterwards. You can even place it in the fridge before use to get a cooling effect. My Review For this review I’ll go step by step. The packaging is cute and sturdy, it tells you the ingredients and instructions for how to use the mask. If I am being picky it was a little hard to open but in my opinion it’s better that way so it won’t leak all over your things. The mask itself was very soft and not harsh. You could smell a bit of honey on it, just a small little whiff. Within the ingredients it has a probiotic, lactic acid bacillus/soybean fermented product extracts. Probiotics and fermented foods are good for the gut, therefore if it’s utilized in a mask or skincare it will boost your complexion and cancel out “bad” bacteria, which results in reducing acne! Yes, I do my research!! The mask was a great size, it was not overly large compared to other brands. The only negative I have is the eye holes were a bit tiny, they covered my lids and under eyes so it was a little uncomfortable there. Otherwise, I really loved this mask!! They do have a promotion right now...From June 30th-July 5th you can get up to 70% off everything on their site!!! So if you were interested in the masks or just want to check out their site, now would be a great time! Still have more questions about this product or my review, leave a comment!

Use the code:JXJCX Hi loves, I'm always looking for new mascaras to try out, I literally have 10+ deluxe samples in my drawer to try out! I was lucky enough to be sent the new Julep Beauty With a Twist Lash Boosting Bamboo Mascara, as part of the Preen Me VIP program in exchange for an honest review. I will get into the details below, however, I don't know about you but I normally use 2 mascaras, one for volume and one for length. This mascara can do both!! How? Well continue reading and you'll find out... What is 'With a Twist' about?This Julep Beauty 'With a Twist' Lash Boosting Bamboo Mascara is proven to give 3X more length and thickness on bare lashes. Within the formula, they use bamboo extract and WIDELASH™ peptides to help strengthen your lashes. Jeju Jolitdaecha Extract, which is a species of bamboo grass native to South Korea supports strong and full lashes. Utilizing K-Beauty is very on trend right now as well. It is also the most unique mascara I've ever seen/used. It has a retractable wand!!!! You twist to extend the wand and lengthen your lashes. If you retract the wand, it'll build up volume on your lashes. What do I think about this mascara? I love the idea that you twist the wand clockwise for a longer wand to lengthen your lashes and twist counter clockwise for a short wand to boost volume. Of course I was a bit skeptical because I have not seen anything like this before. I played around with it for a while twisting it to make sure it was real, it sure is! The bristles? feel rubbery and they fit nicely against your lashes, getting every last one from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. The formula is non-clumpy, does not have a scent and lasts a long time. It's not waterproof so it is easy to remove when you take off your makeup. It does lengthen your lashes and give them volume, so I was definitely impressed. I actually received a ton of compliments when I wore it! People didn't believe one mascara could do this. It's a new favorite and it's so convenient that now I don't need to use 2 mascaras. I get the benefits from just this one tube! I would recommend it anyone and I don't think you would be disappointed. The packaging is so cute too!! It's a new favorite of mine! Thank you for watching my videos and reading my blog!!
