Prefense Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer ~ Review

.

Have you ever used a hand sanitizer only to be overwhelmed with a harsh alcohol smell that lingers long after use? Prefense hand sanitizer is completely alcohol free and proactively and persistently offers protection from germs up to 10 hand washings! Amazing!

Prefense Botanicals Benefits:

  • · Alcohol free
  • Sanitizes nails and skin on contact
  • Protection from germs up to 10 hand washings
  • Works wet or dry
  • Safe for kids and adults!

I must admit that even though the product boasts that it is alcohol free…when I took my first pump of the product I still was expecting that alcohol scent to waft to my nostrils. I was pleasantly surprised when I smelled a nice clean botanical scent instead. I had to laugh at myself because the product did exactly what it promised, why would I expect any different…perhaps because the thought of hand sanitizing evokes a memory of harsh alcohol scent. Let me tell you this was a great experience…a wonderful scent and it forms a proactive antibacterial barrier wet or dry! The scent is derived from a silica complex with soothing organic botanicals. This product is truly a new generation of hand sanitizer! We also liked that the sanitizer was a foam and not a gel. Gels can be messy…prefense is a foam that is neatly pumped from the dispenser and goes on evenly. We also like that it comes in handy purse size (1.50z) or a larger (80z) family size.

My Review:

My, daughter, husband and I sat down last night and read this book before bed.   This book was perfect for us because we say night night and our daughter understands what it means.  We all enjoyed it!  My daughter loves the illustrations as she pointed out various object and animals throughout the book.  It was a good learning tool also.  We asked her where the stars were on a page and she would point them out.  It was just long enough to keep her attention and start relaxing for the night.

I know I’ve said and I’ll say it again, great baby shower gift!  I would recommend this book for you and your little ones as a great bonding tool!  It’s available now!   We will be reading it again tonight and in the future for sure.

Happy Belated Easter!

For those of you who observe religious holidays, happy belated Easter! In recent years we have been keeping our celebrations simple because it is easier – church, maybe grandma’s and relaxing at home. I pretty much stayed off the computer over the weekend and forgot to do up an Easter post other than the one I wrote up earlier and the chick one, which I could have included a Happy Easter message within, but didn’t. So I hope you had a very blessed Easter weekend.

Colored Chicks

Friends in Canada forwarded us a cute email that I want to share with all of you, as I have never heard of this before. Sorry I cannot credit the photos or the ranch, but am sure a google search would turn up where this originated. (I didn’t find much but did find a YouTube video.) As cute as they are I do wonder at the concern others have voiced over the issue of coloring them, the care of them when folks take them home but they get to be full grown etc. What do you all think?

Colored Chicks (from email forward)

They live on a ranch in Durango CO and have 900 baby chicks. Every year, for Easter, they inject the eggs with food coloring, and when they hatch, they are brilliant with color. She uses, pink, purple, orange, green, pink, red, turquoise etc. They aren’t hurt by the process, and as they grow, they return to their normal colors. I’ve never seen anything so cute in my life. Wouldn’t you just love to grab a handful of these little puff balls?

NEW Carefree Liners

Carefree Acti-Fresh

We females have the joys of not only experiencing a monthly menstrual cycle, but also the added pleasure of figuring out what products work best when for that “special” time of month. No matter what your normal brand or product is you will want to know about the new product Carefree has recently introduced to the market of feminine hygiene products.

True to its name, Carefree has developed an innovative new product to add to your routine and help keep you feeling refreshed. Now 40% thinner and up to twice as absorbent (compared to the previous Carefree Body Shape liners), Carefree Acti-Fresh liners were designed with everyday wear in mind. Plus, the odor control system keeps you feeling fresh for up to eight hours, covering you throughout the day, especially while exercising, traveling, or whenever you’re on-the-go.

Our Review (or should I say my teenage daughter’s review):

I hate bulky pantyliners. They are SO uncomfortable….. I’ve always wished that someone would come up with a product that would allow you to wear a pantyliner without it actually feeling like you are wearing one. So when the opportunity came up to review a the new Carefree Acti-fresh pantyliners I was excited.

When the pantyliners arrived in the mail I was a little surprised at the size. The packaging was an itty bitty little box size package of 20 body shape regular to go pantyliners that are about six inches long. They don’t really look like your average pantyliner and are actually quite small as you can see by the photos below.

The Packaging

The Pad

Please take note of how truly thin this pad is!

Then when I tried them I was even more surprised that they worked! Not only did they work, but it didn’t even feel like I was wearing a liner! So I was very impressed with that aspect of it and the fact that the slogan, “So thin and absorbent, you’ll forget you’re wearing a liner!” really rang true. At least for me.

Another thing that was a positive is that they did not bunch up in any way and remained in place very well.

All in all I really liked these pads and would highly recommend them.

Mom’s Note

As a nursing mom, I am not experiencing my monthly cycle yet, nope not even 8 months postpartum and with baby eating solids – I think this is a new record for me! However, I did want to say that due to the size of this pad that mothers who have given birth multiple times may need more than one. Just sayin’.

You can buy the new Carefree liners at major retailers nationwide.

bareMinerals Review

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

About the Product and Leslie Blodgett (Creator)

“We’re on a mission to change the way woman feel about their skin.”

“In developing a skincare line, we championed our expertise in minerals and their ability to energize skin cells in an entirely different way than conventionally done before.  We  use only the finest quality ingredients in our products – the purest, most beneficial minerals from the earth – to give you the results you desire without the use of harsh chemicals, preservatives or irritants.”

“It all began when Leslie Blodgett, Creator of bareMinerals, sought out a visionary in the field of organic agriculture with over four decades of experience.  This farmer had unearthed a complex blend of essentials through a unique process, these minerals yield a densely rich concentrate capable of extraordinary skin-renewing benefits.”

“Clinical studies further validated the transformative efficacy of this soil: Faster cell renewal, reduced pore size, increased luminosity, softer, smoother, younger-looking skin.  Today, this rare soil is our proprietary, 100% pure RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex and the miracle ingredient in our groundbreaking bareMinerals skincare line.  For the past decade, we’ve perfected the bareMinerals skincare formulas to combine the very best nature with science and modern technology so you can experience extraordinary results.  Help prevent, treat, and protect with bareMinerals skincare – the all-in-one solutions to your skin’s needs.”

The product I received was the Skin Renewing Trio, 30 day Try Me Kit.  The kit included a purifying facial cleanser, firming eye treatment, and purely nourishig facial moisturizer (combination skin).

Purifying Facial Cleanser:  “This deep cleansing, hydrating formula removes makeup, dissolves impurities, and re-balances skin for a softer more luminous complexion.”    The ingredients include pineapple, lychee & guava fruit enzymes, avacado oil, and pomegranate extract.

Firming Eye Treatment:  “Restore firmness and reduce puffiness around the eye area with this breakthrough treatment to reveal younger looking eyes.  The ingredients include vitamin E, soybean & sunflower seed oil and roman chamomile flower.

Purely Nourishig Moisturizer (combination skin):  “Hydrate skin with this lightweight, yet remarkably effective moisturizer for iproved firmness, elasticity, radiance and skin texture”.  Ingrediants include honeysuckle, rooibos (red tea), green tea, chamomile, coffee, licorice, vitamins A, B5, and E.

My Review

Just a background on my face.  My chin, forehead and nose are more oily than my cheeks.

I’m always leary about trying new facial products.  I had a bad experience with a very abrasive product.  I’m old fashion when it comes to facial products.  I normally use the blue tub of paste that starts with an “N” to deep clean my face.

I’ve been activity using the bareMineral products instead of my own now for about a week.  I followed the directions on each bottle saying to cleanse or apply morning and at night. I found the bareMinerals purifying facial cleanser worked well on making my pore smaller and cleaned my face well.   The firming eye treatment also worked well, my skin felt a little tighter in that area.  And the purely nourishing moisturizer, I love it on my cheeks.  However, I did notice that since my nose, chin, and forehead are normally oily.  It seemed to make them look more oily than usual.  But, still a great product.

The product box showed the ingredients, however the product bottles did not.  Maybe it is because they are a trial sizes.

bareMineral products are available at QVC.  I went on the QVC site to see what other products bareMinerals have and my search returned 155 products!  And people seem to love all their products!  Lots of 4 & 5 star ratings!  To purchase these or any other bareMineral products you can call QVC at 1-888-345-5788 or visit www.qvc.com/bareescentuals
