Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream


So I received this product complimentary from Bzzagent.
I tried it and I loved it. It's said to repair 7 signs of damage such as dryness, chapping, splitting nails, dry cuticles, scaliness and roughness. It was also awarded with 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal Award. It's said to keep manicured hands looking beautiful and last longer. My sister has eczema and tends to have really rough dry skin. I decided to do her nails and first started off with clean polished hands. She put some Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream to help with her cuticles and rough skin. She loved it. She thought it was really soft and it didn't burn her dry hands like vaseline tends to do. Once it was all absorbed I began doing her nails. The result was nice. I hope this helps her rough dry hands and splitting nails and maybe even the eczema on her arms. As well as aiding in having her manicure last longer. In the picture you can see the instruments in the background. We play guitar, drums, bass and piano. The guitar and bass tend to chip our nail polish and also cause splitting nails. Hopefully this helps our manicure last longer and our cuticles stay healthier.

Thanks Bzzagent for the product.

Pantene® Pro-V Silky Moisture Whip

I got a sample of the Pantene Pro-V Silky Moisture Whip complimentary from Vocalpoint. Go check out Vocalpoint! (Click on the picture and it will take you directly to the site.)
The Pantene Pro-V Silky Moisture Whip is said to erase the damage of 100 blow-drys. 
I don't really blow dry my hair. I usually straighten it, bleach it and dye it. Nevertheless I have very damaged hair! I tried it out and I absolutely loved it! It left my tangled damaged hair very smooth and manageable.
I was afraid it was going to feel like mousse and leave film residue but it didn't leave any unpleasant residue on my hair.

The Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue


So I just received this Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue box complimentary from Influenster (click on the logo to go directly to their site.)

I have really damaged hair thanks to constant bleaching and dying and straightening. This is perfect for me. I just got out of the shower and used this. First things I noticed:

  • This smells divine! I adore and have a civil union with the smell. 
  • This helps with dandruff. I don't have much but sometimes after bleaching can be very harsh to my scalp and causes flakes.
  • Usually after showering a couple of strands fall out but it didn't with this shampoo & conditioner. 
  • This did help with my dry scalp though.
I am excited for the end results of these products n.n

UPDATE 12.18.12: I've been using this for 6 days now. It said it was safe for color treated hair but it made my hair go pink. I don't mind pink so I'm ok with it. But if you have freshly dyed hair I wouldn't really recommend this unless you want to strip the color off. I'm not sure if it's safe for natural colors like auburn, brown and black dyed hair but for semi-permanent dyes this isn't what you're going to want to use. My hair smells great but it doesn't look significantly better. It feels stronger and my hair to the touch pretty much feels the same. We'll see after 10 days what this does to my hair overall.
UPDATE 12.25.12 Merry Christmas everyone. My final review for the Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue will be concluded today.
Well at first I had high hopes. My hair in the end just felt really dry and became very hard to comb and it was constantly tangled. I had to return to my normal shampoo and conditioner. My hair doesn't LOOK significantly better but it does FEEL softer. Like I said before I wouldn't recommend this for someone with colored hair (semi-permanent colors) because it will strip the color right off. My hair is currently pink. For the sake of reviewing and using this product I didn't redye so I could keep using the product to see it's overall affect on my hair. Overall I give it a 3/5.
Thanks Influenster for the chance to try out The Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue shampoo & conditioner.

Nightdrive Music.

There's one song that I can't help but blast every time I go for a drive.
I absolutely love this song! Its been on repeat nearly everyday for a like 3 months. Oh my.
Teenage Crime is just a great song by Adrian Lux!
Another nightdrive fave. is Anoraak Nightdrive with you
Anoraak has been my fave. for as long as I can remember. I discovered him a while back when listening to College, Electric Youth, Lifelike and Tesla Boy (among many others).
The last nightdrive song I'll leave you with is Collect Call by Metric.

This remix was done by Montreal based Adventure Club. They honestly make some of the best remixes I've heard. 
Enjoy!
