Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition

I have had the amazing opportunity to try Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition. I have to admit, this has been one of the campaigns I was most excited for lately. I have a horrible time finding moisturizer that I like. It either smells horrible, doesn't provide enough moisture, doesn't absorb into my skin, or I have some other issue with it. The fact that I am suppose to be able to use this one product on my body, face, and hair was a triple bonus. I don't have must time to devote to my beauty routine so being able to use a single product for multiple areas can only help.

Skin: LOVED IT. It sprayed on my skin without any problems and was easy to distribute. My skin was super dry so I'm guessing I had to use a little more that I normally would have after normal use. It did a great job of absorbing quickly. There was no greasy or oily residue on my body at all. And the smell - OMG it smelled so good! it is a light smell so that makes it even better.

Hair: HATED IT. I sprayed it on my dry hair this morning in an attempt to tame some fly-aways. It was way too much for my hair. I have really thick hair so it never occurred to me that it would be so horrible on it. I figured it would be fine and didn't leave any time for correcting any potential issues but should have. My hair was instantly weighted down and looked very greasy, oily, and gross. Luckily I was able to brush some of it out and then put my hair in a ponytail. I was very disappointed in this since not only did it not help but it actually caused another time consuming problem.

Face: I haven't tried it yet. I'm hopeful that it will be fine since it did so well on my body. At the same time, I'm hesitant because it did so horrible on my hair.



Please remember: I'm a bzzagent. As such, I am able to get products free or at a discount in exchange for my candid feedback.

Simple Truth: Sweet Potato Chips

I tried these amazing chips last night and cannot believe I didn't try them sooner. They are soooo yummy! My little boy loved them too. I loved the hint of sweetness along with the light salt flavor. I also found it interesting that they were thicker than traditional potato chips. However, they were still crunchy and did not feel/taste greasy at all. I will definitely try the veggie option too and will be buying these in the future!

Please keep in mind, I received these for free for being a bzzagent. This gives me the change to try new products for free or super cheap.

Simple Truth: Sparkling Beverage

Simple Truth is a healthier alternative to various products. As a bzzagent, I have the opportunity to try 3 of their products free. The first product I tried was the Sparkling Beverage, or "soda". I'm always hesitant to try the "natural", "organic", "healthy" versions of items because they tend to be more expensive and I'm not 100% convinced they are truly better for you. I have to admit that I truly enjoyed this drink. I found that it had a wonderful flavor and did not have too much carbonation. I find that many of these types of products are so over carbonated that you can't drink them. This was not the case with the Simple Truth, which was smooth. I was also surprised to find that I liked the flavor of the drink. While I love blackberry, I'm not a huge fan of Pomegranate. But, when mixed with the blackberry it was really yummy! I'm sure the lack of caffeine is a huge selling point for many people. However, I would prefer that it did have caffeine. But, it could have just been the time that I drank it and that under other circumstances, the lack of caffeine wouldn't have been as big of a let down. Don't forget, I'm a bzzagent. That means I get items free or discounted in exchange for my honest feedback.
