Aquation – Review


I received 3 full size Aquation products free for purposes of my review. All opinions are my own.

About Aquation:

There are endless elements that affect your skin daily – not all of them in your control. There is a solution. Skincare that protects, restores and fortifies, with moisture you can feel. Clinically proven results you can see. Moisture balance technology you can count on. The perfect Aquation for hydrated + healthy skin.

Aquation consists of a family of hydrating cleansers, creams, and moisturizers. You can learn more about Aquation here.

Summer can be so hard on my skin. I’ve been outside with the kids a LOT this summer, and my skin definitely needs some additional moisture. So, I am quite happy that I got to try out these products.

Aquation Gentle Moisturizing Cleanser:

I set this cleanser in my shower and used it instead of my usual body wash. I am very pleased with the results.

It doesn’t lather very well. I tried it in my loofah and that didn’t work very well. This body was was just a bit too lotiony to lather. So, if you’re looking for lots of bubbles, this isn’t the product for you.

I also tried it using a wash cloth (because I like to scrub with something) and that worked quite well. The pump bottle is easy to use in the shower.

The results are what I’m most pleased with. This body wash did a great job of cleansing without drying out my skin. It also moisturized without leaving my skin feeling greasy or oily.

It’s lightly moisturizing, so you’re still going to want to use the Aquation lotion after your shower if your skin really needs moisture, like mine does. But it is nice to get out of the shower with my skin already one step closer to being well moisturized.

Aquation Daily Moisturizing Lotion:

I just love, love, love this lotion! It moisturizes so well without leaving my skin greasy. One of my biggest lotion challenges is that after putting lotion on my hands are clammy because of the lotion. I often end up having to wash my hands just to get the greasy feel off – which kinda defeats the purpose of using the lotion. Not so with this lotion. It absorbs quickly and without leaving my skin oily to the touch.

This is a great all over body lotion but honestly, I’m loving it for my hands because I can moisturize my hands without the being greasy afterwards. I need to get a bottle just for my desk so I have it on hand when I want it.

Aquation Moisturizing Cream:

This is a lot like the Daily Moisturizing Lotion, just a little thicker and a little bit more moisturizing. I’ve been using this product after my shower and on any spots that need extra hydration. Like my shoulders after a fun day in the sun.

I’m not using it every day but just when I need a little extra moisture and it’s working great. It’s also non greasy but still does a great job of hydrating my skin.

This combined with the Daily Lotion and the Moisturizing Cleanser has been really good for my skin.

After more than a week of using these products my skin is more hydrated and refreshed than I usually manage in the summer.

All of these products are gentle and non-irritating to my skin. They also seem to be unscented so they would be safe for me to use on my kids as well.

Want to try these product for yourself? You can purchase them HERE. Or purchase in-store at WalMart and use this Coupon for additional savings. At $9 each these are a great deal!

Oz Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Serum – Review


I’ve tried Oz Naturals products in the past and liked them, so I was pretty excited to try this Oz Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

What they say: “CLINICAL STRENGTH anti aging, anti wrinkle serum is proven to plump skin and fill in those fine lines and wrinkles.

THIS HYALURONIC ACID SERUM is guaranteed to give you that dewy, moisture boost needed to achieve that youthful glow and is proven to reduce skin’s fine lines and wrinkles.

Our CRUELTY FREE, Hyaluronic Acid Serum does not contain alcohol, parabens or sulfates and is safe for all skin types.

MADE IN THE USA in a state of the art FDA registered facility, OZ Naturals formulates effective anti aging products.”

Now for my opinion. First of all, I had to figure out what a Hyaluronic Acid Serum is, and how to use it. Because, I don’t know about you, but I have no idea what Hyaluronic is and Acid doesn’t sound like a good thing to put on my face.

But it has this cute little dropper in it, which makes it lots of fun to use. It’s just fun to drop stuff on your hand and put it on your face instead of having to dump the bottle into your hand or figure out how to get the stuff out of the bottle. I just love the bottle and the dropper!

So, I read the instructions – I followed the instructions as well 🙂

Step 1: Wash and dry your face as usual
Step 2: Apply Oz Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Serum and let dry (it dries really fast)
Step 3: Apply your usual facial moisturizer and makeup as usual.

Super easy.

So, what does the Oz Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Serum do you ask? Well, basically, it preps your face for your moisturizer. I’ve been using it for several days now and it allows your moisturizer to soak in better. I was worried it would make my skin more oily, but it does just the opposite. Since my moisturizer is soaking in more, that means less oil ON my face and more deep into my skin where I actually need it. Hooray!

This oil is just about odorless – I can smell a little bit of the witch hazel but it’s not strong and doesn’t smell bad so it’s not a problem. It does remind me of when I used witch hazel as a facial cleanser when I was a teen. I need something a little more moisturizing these days! And it’s made with natural ingredients.

It’s gentle on my skin, soaks in fast, and when used as instructed, helps my face stay more moisturized throughout the day.

Want a bottle for yourself? You can buy it here.

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Review

Thanks to Bzzagent I got to try a full set of Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge products. Shampoo, Conditioner, and Moisture Plenish Treatment for free.

I have loved these hair care products! They’re all about putting moisture back in my hair and leaving my hair shiny and weightless.  The Hydra Recharge range contains superfruits goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to actively replenish without heaviness. My hair is soft and shiny without being weighed down or oily. They definitely live up to their advertising!

The Hydra Recharge Shampoo has these cool “moisture beads” in it that make it really fun to wash my hair. It’s like a massage for my hair every time I use it! And on top of that, I love the mild smell of all the products, light and refreshing.

Next I use the conditioner and then right after that the Moisture Plenish Treatment, which is supposed to be in for 1 minute. So, I rub the Moisture Plenish Treatment in then finish the rest of my shower and then rinse it out.

I love the way my hair feels right afterwards and the softness lasts well into the next day so if I don’t get to wash my hair every single day it’s not a big deal. And with little kids, that’s a wonderful thing!
