The first product that I tried was the Playtex Sport Tampons! I absolutely loved this product. I have used tampons in the past and I must say this product is better than them.
The applicator was something for me that really set this apart from others I have tried. It was super easy to get into place. The card that accompanied these said that "It's designed to neutralize odors for ultimate freshness on the field." As we all know I don't play any sports, so it just so happened that when my "Dear Aunt Flo" showed up, it was very hot, so a little bit of exercise and sweating made this product a good test for me. It did exactly what it was supposed to. There were no odors like maxi-pads tend to cause/emit. The price point listed on the card is $3.99-$4.99 and I believe that is a very good value for these, especially if they can help others eliminate the odors! I will definitely be buying more of these!
The next product that I tested was the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara! I have never really been a mascara fan, so I was skeptical giving this a try. I wear glasses so it was pretty hard for me to capture an after photo with my glasses on, but I did my best! :)
So this is before any makeup!
These were the best that I could manage with my glasses on. You can still see the mascara, which really impressed me. With other brands (Dollar Tree brand included), I never was able to see it as clearly as with this bold black. I noticed my eyelashes looked thicker and have more volume. I also noticed that there are no clumps and that is one thing I absolutely love about this product! The other brands I have used all had clumps. It stays on very well also. With other mascara brands if you touch your lashes you would end up with mascara on your fingers. That was a pleasant surprised to not have happen with this brand! The card that came with my box says the price retails at $5.99. For that price I would not hesitant to purchase it especially depending on how long 1 tube lasts.
The next product that I tried was the Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Lotion. I compared this to my brand I use, Essence of Beauty Island Bliss that I purchased from CVS. The first thing I noticed right away is that the Nivea is more watery than the brand that I currently use. The smell of the Nivea was also like a faint fragrance smell, which I am not used to. The Nivea also seemed a little bit oily. I did noticed some firmer skin after using it for a few days. My skin also seemed a little softer. While using the Nivea Lotion, I was not using my own brand.
Yesterday was Father's Day so we went out to dinner and we put up the air freshener in the van! It smells wonderful and the kids absolutely love it. It smells like Peach!
The only product that I had a super hard time with was the press on nails. The Kiss Everlasting French Nails (msrp $6.49), I found were super hard to get the glue to stay on my nails. I bite them, so there isn't much nail there. They are very beautiful, and I only wish they would have stayed on. I have started letting my nails grow out after they wouldn't stay on and I will try again once they are a little longer!
As always, my disclosure: "I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster."
