Stay Beautiful with Cover Girl and Walmart #giveaway

2014 disclosureI’ve been told I have great skin. For as long as I can remember it’s been one of my best assets.  Also for as long as I can remember I’ve been taking care of it simply by washing it and applying Oil of Olay moisturizer.  I never thought I needed some fancy brand with a high price tag to get the results I always wanted. that doesn’t mean I haven’t tried other brands, I have, many; but I always go back to my tried and true Oil of Olay.

On a recent trip to Walmart I found really great deals on my favorite beauty products. I’m not talking about a little bit of change in your pocket, I’m talking about MONEY SAVING deals that are worth the trip.Cover Girl and Olay at Walmart at great prices

P&G brands like Olay and Cover Girl are staples for a woman’s life. From beauty bars in the shower to LashBlast Volume Mascara on the vanity these brands are part of my every day.Cover Girl and Olay at Walmart at great prices

Here is my first use of LashBlast Mascara. Just 2 quick swips and I was ready for the day.  If I was getting ready for date night or dinner with the girls I would’ve added a couple other swipes and a long wing of Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner Pencil.  With its attached smudger tip I get that perfect smoky eye every time.Cover Girl and Olay at Walmart at great prices

Old Spice Re-Fresh for the Tween & Giveaway

I’ve realized something recently.  As I watched my son grow up I missed seeing him actually “grow up”.  When I look at him I see a kid, a kid that makes messes, talks back sometimes, leaves his sneakers all over the garage and forgets his lunch at home. What I’ve been missing is the young man he’s becoming. I missed his growth spurt so now he’s taller than his mom. I missed the blossoming relationship between him and his older sister. I missed the way his grandfather looks at him with pride and love being the only grandson.Old Spice Holiday #SmellcometoManhood Kit #giveaway

Shaun is definitely approaching manhood no matter how much I don’t want to see it.

Old Spice is recognizing this very important part of life and is launching Re-Fresh technology.  This means no more need to spray over and over. This means Old Spice Re-Fresh lasts all day with one spray.  With the introduction of “Dadsong” it’s dad’s turn to tell his side of the story with another humorous, over-the-top song from Old Spice.

For the parent of a tween boy who is at the stage of sweaty/smelly/put up a fight to take a shower I’m happy to have a tool to help teach him a lesson in body hygiene.

If I can get him to take 5 steps in a day I’ve suceeded as a dad.

Take a Shower
Apply Old Spice All in One Body Wash
Use Deodorant
Spray Re-Fresh in the Morning
Brush Teeth

It sounds like a lot to do for a boy concerned with nothing but video games and snacks. Each step is simple and I think by showing him how these are steps to take into manhood his vanity (because he spends time on his hair and picking out the right sneakers) will kick in and he’s be back to a great smelling kid.

Dramatic Eyes with Rimmel London plus #giveaway

We all know looking good is important. I try each day to get up, dressed and presentable for the day. Sometimes it doesn’t always work out though. Somedays I take it a step further and add some sparkle and shine to my day.

Rimmel London gave me that sparkle with their Scandal Eyes and Glam’Eyes lines. Everyday make-up for me can range from just tinted moisturizer to full smokey eyes for a more glam look. Somewhere in the middle of that is where you’ll usually find me though.

I was sent a variety of products and colors to try out and I used them to alter my daytime smokey eye a bit. I tend to lean towards the browns/taupe with a hit of purples/mauve. I always thought this looked best against my eye and skin color. I received Green Park and Purple Reign Glam’Eyes HD Eyeshadows Quads and instantly went to the Green Park for a change.

Combining this with the ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Sticks in Gossip Green and ScandalEyes Show Off Mascara in black changed how I’m wearing colored eyeshadow now.
Rimmel London giveaway

Rimmel London Giveaway
This is me going for a new look of green and golds. I don’t wear mascara. It’s typically a step I skip since I don’t love the heavy fake feeling it leaves on my lashes. This ScandalEyes Show OffMascara gave me lift, length and curl and dried super fast. The new wand shape is all you need. You MUST watch the video to see how it works.

Rimmel’s extensive range is kept bang up-to-the-minute as it translates the look of London into new shades, products, packaging and advertising. But however creative and fashion-forward, Rimmel products are always easy to use, versatile and accessible, designed to encourage experimentation and self-expression.

Clearasil PerfectaWash for clean skin

One would think as an adult you wouldn’t have to worry about acne and other skin issues. For most of my life I didn’t worry about things like that, I was blessed with good skin that didn’t breakout. Today I suffer from clogged pores and black heads. Sometimes I have to perform mini surgery just to get clearer looking skin.

Raising a teenage daughter is hard sometimes. I try to educate her about keeping her skin healthy, washing her face and applying moisturizer. Clearasil recently came out with Clearasil Perfecta Wash, a perfect dose dispenser of rapid action face wash.

clearasil perfectawash

Rob and I have been using Clearasil Perfecta Wash for a couple weeks, we replaced our Oil Free Face Wash to see it this is was something that would improve our skincare routine.

clearasil perfecta wash
Key Product Ingredients & Benefits:

  • Maximum strength acne fighting ingredient – 2% Salicylic Acid
  • Dermatologist tested
  • SuperFruit Splash – energizes and refreshes with raspberry and cranberry extracts
  • Soothing Plant Extract – gentle formula with ingredients known to calm and reduce redness

I haven’t noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my skin but I have noticed a softness without additional moisturizer. I don’t feel tightness and dryness on my cheeks after using Clearasil Perfecta Wash. Rob is enjoying the hands-free dispenser. He’s a little bit of a clean freak so anything that cuts down on the mess in the bathroom is a bonus. I’m not crazy about the fragrance, I would prefer something more neutral or better yet fragrance free; to me it smells more like a household cleaner.

This summer, Clearasil is giving you and your family the chance to Rock Your Skin with PerfectaWash! Just head to the Clearasil Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/ClearasilUS, for a PerfectaWash Buy One, Get One Coupon and other great summertime sweepstakes, including the opportunity to WIN VIP tickets to the Clearasil Six Flags Summer Concert Series and tickets to Lollapalooza Music Festival!

Shop for the dispenser and refill as your local Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, RiteAid and Amazon.com.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Clearasil. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.”




April Birchbox is Here

I got my April Birchbox earlier last week. I’m still in love with idea of getting a handful of goodies that are new to me.
This month I was super psyched to see Pangea Organic products in there. Not just one either but 3. I’ve been wanting to try some of their items for a while though but haven’t gotten around to it.

Pangea Organics Lip Balm

The perfume is going to Sabreena but that might be it from this box. I want to keep every other product myself this time around. This is why I love Birchbox, I don’t have to feel guilty for giving away some things each month because I’ve only spent $10.




My Goodies Are Here

I signed up for Birchbox and waited impatiently for my first box to arrive. I’ve always loves trying out new beauty products but constantly shopping for new creams, cosmetics and haircare just isn’t in the budget. For just $10/month I get a package with some new things to try out. Can I tell you I’m in love with the packaging too; the small, simple cardboard box makes me smile.

  • Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint – can’t wait to try this
  • Orofluido Elixir – gonna try on Shae’s hair for more shine
  • One Love Organics® Skin Savior Waterless Beauty Balm –smells heavenly
  • Tea Forté® skin-smart™ Teas- might give 1 to Mom, she loves tea
  • Color Club Neon Nail Polish – going to Sabreena
  • Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien – going to Sabreena

birchbox, beauty products, MarchWhile $10 might sound like a lot for things I’m not even keeping for myself it’s a small indulgence for myself. Luckily Birchbox allows you to cancel anytime. I’m already looking forward to seeing what’s in store for next month.




Norelco Senso Touch 3D Evalutation

I am not sure where I stand when it comes to shaving but I would love to know if I am the minority or the majority.  Do men love to shave?  I will be honest and say I 100% hated shaving until I received the Norelco Senso Touch 3D electric shaver. I would think ahead on what days I would have to shave for work and knew those days I would be irritated.

I know you are going to say that I need to say that because I received this for consideration but I am serious when I say this is the best shaver I have ever tried. I still don’t love to shave but I also don’t hate it like I used to.  My skin is extremely sensitive so I could only shave in the shower when my face was wet and the hairs were soft otherwise my skin would get so irritated and cut up but with the Senso Touch 3D I am able to shave when I get out of the shower with no problems at all.

The Norelco Senso Touch 3D (1290x) is a wet and dry electric shaver so I now have options.  I can use the shaver in the shower if I want which I still haven’t done or once I get out which I have done probably 25 times already.  With a tradition razor and shaving cream I would only shave twice a week otherwise my face would be all messed up but now that I am using the Norelco Senso Touch 3D I am able to shave daily with ZERO problems meaning no skin irritation or anything.  When I was in college I tried using an electric shaver and I HATED it so I was very hesitant when I received the Senso Touch 3D but I am pleasantly surprised and will NEVER go back to my old razor, we are through!!!

Here are a few highlights:

  • Philips GyroFlex 3D system adjusts seamlessly to every curve
  • UltraTrack heads catch every hair with just a few strokes
  • SensoTouch Shavers with patented Super Lift&Cut Action
  • Aquatec seal for comfortable dry & refreshing wet shaves
  • Smooth, low-friction SkinGlide to minimize irritation

The Norelco Senso Touch 3D is super easy to use as well as clean.  It has given me a shave that my traditional razor could never give me.  It is close and like I mentioned it doesn’t irritate my skin which is huge because I wouldn’t shave just so I could avoid the uncomfortable feeling.  I’ve never used an electric razor and heard lots of things like it would take weeks for your skin to get used to it but the 1st night I was impressed.  Instead of shaving 2-3 times a week I can now shave nightly if I want and not worry about my skin afterwards.

The Senso Touch 3D is a shaver that I will be using for very long time.

Luckily we are offering this same shaver to ONE lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader.  Check out the Rafflecopter Widget below for entry rules and extra opportunities to win.

CATTIVA Cosmetics LipGloss Recap and Eyeliner Giveaway

A DIVA I am not but that doesn’t mean I don’t love girly things. Recently I’ve been trying to make a real effort to feel better about myself. Lounging around the house all day in jammies with messy hair doesn’t do much for my self esteem. Simply putting on real clothes, running a brush or flat iron through my hair and applying a touch of make-up does wonders and makes me feel more productive.

When I say a touch of make-up I mean really mean a touch; moisturizer, concealer and lately my new CATTIVA Cosmetics Swarovski Crystal Lip Gloss #7. This is CATTIVA Cosmetics most popular product. Its peachy pink hue is a neutral shade good for most complexions. It went on thick but luscious and stayed put for many hours. There is a hint of vanilla sweetness so you must resist licking your lips. As a special treat the gloss was customized with my own name. Think about how unique and fun naming your own shade of lipgloss for a girlfriend’s weekend, bridemaids gifts or as favors for a shower or birthday party.

cattiva cosmetics lipgloss swarovski crystyals
Inspired by the agelessness of love and Italian romance, CATTIVA is a fashion forward; anti-aging line of cosmetics that is mineral based and highly pigmented to meet the needs of both makeup artists and the everyday woman.

CATTIVA wants all women to love the way they look and feel so LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers are getting the chance to win 1 of 5 Precisione Ant-Wrinkle Eye Liners. Just tell me what your anti-aging skincare/beauty routine is, if you have one.

Intense eyes have never been so defined. Creamy and easy to apply, this paraben-free, waterproof formula is the secret to a perfectly lined eye. Fortified with hyaluronic acid and vitamins to fight the effects of aging and last all day. Retractable dispenser.

CATTIVA Cosmetics Mineral Makeup Recap and Giveaway

cattiva cosmetics logoI can be accused of being a frumpy mom at times, I admit it but that doesn’t mean I don’t love the girly things in life. CATTIVA cosmetics are new to my makeup table but I think if the rest of their products are as great as the Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo they might become a staple.

Inspired by Italian Romance, CATTIVA cosmetics is the first high-fashion, anti-aging line of color.With its chic, glamorous packaging, antioxidant rich formulas and rich long lasting colors, CATTIVA is rapidly becoming the world’s first fashion accessory makeup brand that makes a woman feel sexy yet sophisticated while defying age. Virtually weightless, our light reflective minerals make blemishes and fine lines practically invisible leaving your skin looking flawless and radiant. From Il Primo Bacio Lip gloss (first kiss) to Tutto Giorno Shadows (all day), the products are synonymous with old style Glamour in a modern world.

Extravagance has never been so good for you!

cattiva cosmetics blush bronzer belezza compact
With the cool weather comes the darker more dramatic eye and lip colors. In the summer pinks and browns were my go-to but now I’m reaching for greens, violets and chocolates. With the new color palette I needed to change my cheek color. Going from a peach to a rose was working ok but I hate the obvious look of blush so I usually go without. Bronzers always looked fake to me, too sparkly for everyday wear. I tested out the Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo on my girl’s weekend, I figured getting dressed up for the club and dinner was the perfect time to test it out.  I start with brushing along my temples, cheeks and nose and work the residual powder left on the brush along my jawline and down onto my neck.  using a fluffy brush gives it a smooth blended finish without looking like I’m trying too hard.

tanned and fresh with no side effects from the sun

I loved the fresh look it gave me, I looked sun-kissed. I did spend the day outdoors too so just to be sure I used it again on Thanksgiving and looked at the pictures that were taken that day and really noticed the radiance it gave me. I’m naturally tanned but using this combo blush/bronzer adds brightness to my sometimes dull complexion. You might be wondering why this isn’t something I use every day but honestly I don’t wear make-up every day. This is going to become a natural step in my FULL face application for things like going out to dinner, visiting friends and spending the day OUT with the family.

cattiva compactThe Belezza Blush/Bronzer Mineral Duo is a refill that fits perfectly into the Square Crystal Compact that also fits the eyeshadow quads.

Smooth, sensual, high cheek bones are created with this luxurious and refillable mineral blush/bronzer duo! Colors are so beautiful and natural that you will look like you’re glowing from the inside out! This duo can be used as an all over face color or used for contouring to create a variety of looks and moods! Create a warm and sensual Hollywood glow! Talc & paraben free.

Get Gorgeous Hair with WEN Hair Care Kit Giveaway

Infomercials suck me in. I can’t help it; I’m just like my dad. There is one that I’ve watched recently and thought this could really work for Sabreena. WEN is a cleaning lotion for your hair created by celebrity stylist Chaz Dean. It seems like all celebrities have something to peddle and people jump on the bandwagon to get glamorous results. I feel slightly different about WEN.

WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in hair care. A 5-in-1 formula, this one product takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner. It cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos—it is designed so it won’t strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention.

Many years ago when the makeover shows were in their infancy I remember watching this stylist talk about the harsh chemicals and detergents in commercial shampoos that can damage and strip color from your hair. He then went on to cleanse and style a woman’s hair using his very own products. It was Chaz Dean. There was something about what he said that stuck with me all this time. I use a natural ingredient cleansing bar and tried to get Sabreena to use one too but our hair is very very different. Mine is short and razored to feel thinner, no extra conditioning needs; hers is long and as thick as a horse’s tail. All of these natural alternatives weren’t giving her the soft, tangle-free, shiny results I wanted.

I was contacted by Gunthy Renker to try out WEN and I flipped. Here was the product that changed my way of shampooing years ago. I knew this was what Sabreena needed. The products came and that very night she used them. The next morning I looked at her messy bedhead and noticed it wasn’t as big and knotty looking. In fact it looking like she had curled her hair then fell asleep on the curls. Sabreena isn’t a good candidate for before and after pics because she doesn’t blow dry her hair at night and she’s gone before I even get out of my bedroom each morning. I have noticed her say recently “I like the way my hair looks today”. She’s getting more defined waves and curls and less frizz. Out of Sabreena’s own mouth, “I really like the Replenishing Treatment mist; no more frizz or flyaways, it works fabulously.

flat, frizzy and CURLED hair before using WEN

way less flyaways and softer natural waves and curls after 3 weeks using WEN

It’s been less than a month we’ve been using WEN Cleansing Conditioner and it’s almost gone. The instructions say to start with 10ish pumps, Sabreena uses about 15, that’s a lot of product. It isn’t the most cost effective product since it’s only lasting about 3 weeks but for less than $30 I see it as a decent investment. Sabreena spends a lot of time on her hair and if the only thing she uses is a cleanser and skips the styling products then it’s worth it for me.

Gunthy Renker is giving LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win a WEN kit from Chaz Dean Studios. Let me know how you hope this product will help your hair or change your routine.
