Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh Review and GIVEAWAY!

Here's the new edition to Purex!  Purex® Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh. First of all, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE scents that are fresh, floral, and clean. I was very eager waiting the arrival of my latest Purex Insiders, Disclaimer: If you didn't already know, I am a very proud Purex Insider. Where I get sent their newest products to try out and host a giveaway, and share with you my 100% honest opinions, which is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary product. All views here expressed are my own.

This product only lasted 5 minutes in my house before I already opened it up & started taking pictures and trying it out! The packaging was very colorful, and reminded me of summer and spring. I also LOVED the scent, it smelled very fresh, floral and clean. It really did have that  "Fabulously fresh" scent that was on the label. I have two active boys and girls, and a husband that comes home from work smelling musty. So in-wash booster fragrances in my house are a MUST. I was very excited to try this out! 

(Heres a up-close picture showing you the texture of the crystals)

 I loved how there was a cap that helped me measured how much to pour in, I easily added my desired amount of purex crystals using the cap to measure a small, medium, or large load. I like Purex crystals fragrance booster rather than using a regular fabric softener because its way less messy, it doesn't overflow or spill all over my hand when i'm trying to pour it! Also another advantage is I can put it at the same time as my detergent in the beginning, I don't have to wait till second wash to put in the fabric softener! (Which I always forget)

I decided to try this out on our towels, towels in my house get very stinky musty and dirty! First I poured half of the Purex crystals in the washer, then I put in my towels in and poured other half on top. Right away I could just smell the great aroma of the fresh, floral, clean scent. Then I added in my laundry detergent. One of the things they advertise is that Purex Crystals does not reduce the absorbency of towels, (which I found to be true) It's also a 87% Natural crystal laundry enhancer that boosts the scent of your laundry, causing it to smell better, longer. It's also safe for HE machines. It also says it stays on clothes for weeks, not hours. 

Once I started on my washer, the crystals dissolved very well. & when the load was finished I couldn't find any traces left of the crystals in my machine, it also didn't reduce the absorbency of my towels. The towels came out soft and smelling Fabulously fresh! The scent "fabulously fresh" is limited edition but their are also other great scents available! 

Overall, I would highly recommend this product.

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser.

Olay Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser.

Today I received a 5.0 Fl Oz Olay Fresh Effects (Shine, Shine Go Away!) Shine minimizing cleanser complimentary from Influenster. I've been dieing to try this product out.

 

From the official product description:

"Nothing says refreshment like a deep-down to the pores clean. our shine minimizing cleanser has all the purifying power of a mask, but lathers and rinses like a daily cleanser to remove 2x more dirt, oil and make-up than basic cleaning. Formulated with kaolin clay. Lift away impurities and help minimize shine - even after you leave the sink! Treat yourself to a deep clean for a fresh feel. Play your way to perfection for even fresher effect, use together with an Olay Fresh Effects Moisturizer."

My review: 

Lets start off by explaining my skin type, I have combination skin: Shine in some areas, dry or normal in others. During the summer months my skin is VERY oily. I use shine-control face masks in the summer to help my control my oil. But when I received Olay Fresh Effects (Shine, Shine go away!) Shine minimizing cleanser. I was eager to try out this product and see how this could help me minimize shine considering "Kaolin clay helps lift away impurities and helps minimize shine". At first glance when I lift open the cap, I saw a slight pearl appearance, and I could smell a very clean fresh scent. I instantly put the creamy product onto my fingers, and lathered it onto my face, and waited a minute then rinsed it off. I looked at myself in the mirror and I could already tell the difference. My face felt and looked less shiny! I felt a very deep clean as-well and I was very impressed with this product. It did not make my face feel tight like my face masks do, yet it worked just as well as my mask would without the tightening in my face.

Overall I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs some shine minimizing! Don't be afraid to give this product a try no matter what skin type you have.
