John Frieda Brilliant Brunette

After recently having a baby I've had a few people ask me how I have the energy to keep up with my hair.  I actually have two secrets that save so much time when it comes to my hair color.  Today I thought I would share some of my tips with you guys since I know a lot of you are moms on the go.

In between visits to my hairstylist, I usually use some kind of at home color treatment to keep my color fresh.  At home color kits can still take forever to use though and aren't usually the best for your hair. Sometimes  I just want a subtle lift versus a huge change that my stylist might have to correct.  I found the brand new John Frieda Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ line at Walmart and purchased the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Shampoo and Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Conditioner as well as the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ In-Shower Treatment. I was excited to head home and try out these new products!

I started first by using the brand new Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ In-Shower Treatment. . This product is not available in all Walmart locations but you can definitely get it delivered to the comfort of your home by clicking here for your own hair color experience.

This product instantly lightens for a sun-kissed brunette along with lightening up to 1 shade instantly! A big plus is it will only lighten your natural spectrum, so hair won't appear bleached or orange along with being safe for natural, highlighted, and color-treated brunettes.

The treatment was super easy all you have to do is wet your hair and apply the entire contents to your hair. You can concentrate on your hair regrows or cover your hair entirely. I just mainly concentrated on my roots. Let sit on your hair for 5 minutes and rinse! I shaved and washed the rest of my body while it sat on my hair to save some time. 

Next up was the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Shampoo.
This product will gradually brighten for natural-looking sun-kissed brunette and illuminates glowing tones.

I gently massaged the shampoo into wet hair, got a good lather going and rinsed. I love when a shampoo gets a really good lather and this one did not disappoint. Along with the great smell of cocoa and evening primose oil. I was an immediate fan. 

For the final step I then applied the Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™ Subtle Lightening Conditioner. This conditioner will visibly boost the brightness of your brunette daily. I applied to wet hair from root to end let sit for about a minute then rinsed. I could right away tell my hair was softer. I normally have an issue with tangles and could already tell my brush was going to go through with ease. 

I will definitely continue to use this line of products in between my hair appointments. Not only did they give my hair that boost of lightness that I crave during the summer, it left my hair silky smooth and smelled great! The hair color experience with just the Visibly Brighter™ Shampoo and Conditioner was so much easier than what I'm used to doing. Don't believe me?

As a family we all struggle with sensitive skin. From my frequent skin redness due to the changing weather to my son breaking out due to the pollen outdoors. With all of us suffering from skin sensitivities, I decided it would be a great idea for us to try a dye and fragrance free detergent for all our of clothes, sheets and towels. I will be honest at first I disliked the thought of not having that "fresh out of the laundry smell" but, figured it was totally worth it for my family's well being. However, once I started using the all® free clear Mighty Pacs®  I knew I had made the right decision. No break outs. No itchy skin. Nothing but clean laundry for my entire family! all® free clear Mighty Pacs®  
are #1 Recommended brand by Dermatologists, Allergists, and Pediatricians. Not only do the all® free clear Mighty Pacs® remove 99% of top everyday and seasonal allergens like cat and dog dander, dust mite matter, ragweed, grass, and tree pollen, it also allows your family to look and feel their best while living free from sensitive skin worries.

*disclaimer: all free clear is not intended to treat or prevent allergies

I purchased my all® free clear Mighty Pacs® at my local Sam's Club. The product was super easy to spot and I was out the door to start my laundry! 

 

I love the mighty pacs. Super easy to use, especially for a mom on the go. Throw one pac in with your laundry and you are good to go! 

 Always remember to follow the directions for use on the packaging exactly, and not to over use the products by putting too much product in one load.

 

I love the fresh seal pouch. Not only does it keep the laundry pacs fresh its an easy breezy way of storage. Try it for yourself next time you are at your local Sam's Club. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

CeraVe Skincare

As a busy mother on the go I am always looking for a quick skincare routine that will leave my skin feeling clean and out the door for school drop-off. I suffer from redness and the occasional blemish or two so I am always up for trying a new product so when I was approached to try CeraVe I was eager to lather up. What I really love is that CeraVe products are non-irritating and fragrance-free and most are also non-comedogenic. I hate when a facial product smells stronger than the perfume I am spritzing on for the day. CeraVe also helps replenish the vital ceramides healthy skin needs. Our skin naturally contains ceramides. Gradually, with time, these ceramides begin to deplete, in return causing dry and irritated skin. CeraVe helps bring back those vital ceramides your healthy skin needs with a patented, controlled-released system that penetrates your skin's surface, to help rebuild and lock in moisture all day long. 

I was able to find all of the CeraVe products with ease at my local Walmart to start my skincare regime at home. *Note the following items will be on Rollback until 5/29/2016. 

• CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
• CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
• CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

All 3 will be at a $9.97 retail until that date.  Plus, you can find a $2.00 off any Cerave product here!

 

 

The first product I tried was the CeraVe Foam Facial Cleanser. This cleanser removes dirt, oil and makeup while replenishing skin with ceramides. Other cleanser I have previously used left my skin not as clean and would result in having to go an extra step and use a make-up remover cloth.

I started off by wetting my skin with lukewarm water. I thin massaged the cleanser into my skin while using a gentle, circular motion.

 

 Followed up with rinsing my face off and lightly towel drying.

 

 Next was the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. This cleanser removes dirt, oil and makeup as ceramides and hyaluronic acid moisturize, soften and help repair the skin barrier.

 I again wet my skin with lukwarm water. Massaged the cleanser into my skin in a gentle, circular motion and then rinsed. This cleanser left my skin super soft to the touch.

 

 After I had cleansed my skin next up was the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. This cream moisturizes and helps restore the protective skin barrier, with vital ceramides.

I applied the moisturizing cream to my skin liberally and now as I'm typing this the next day I can tell my skin feels visibly softer. You can apply this product as needed throughout the day.

 

The final product I tried was the CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion. This lotion moisturizes and provides broad spectrum sun protection, it contains  SPF 30 which is important to protect your skin from  harmful UV rays. Especially for me living in Orlando, Florida

I also purchased the CeraVe Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 50. I have not used it yet but will definitely be bringing it along with me on my next beach or Disney day. 

 Next time you are at your local Walmart store make sure you stop by the beauty aisle and take a look at all the amazing products CeraVe has to offer. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
