Gildan Care Package review

I got the great chance to review some Gildan items for a great promotion that is going on now through November 15th. Their Touch Downs for Tuition is a great sweepstakes, you can win up to a $10,000 scholarship (no matter age of child) and a family (family of 4) trip to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. They are also giving away 25 daily prizes that include their College Care Packages! (More in a minute on those) Enter here to win!

Now to the care packages! Right now through November 15, 2011, for every College Care Package that is purchased for $39.99 ($65 value) Gildan will donate a special care package to My Stuff Bags. My Stuff Bags has donated over 400,000 bags since they started in 1998! Their bags include a variety of items to bring children the comfort they need. You can purchase a care package for someone you love and know that one will be donated to another child in need. I know children that were in foster care and I think getting a special package to call their own from My Stuff Bags would really help them with a difficult transition. I also know that a college student will LOVE a care package! I used to check the mail every day hoping I had a package full of goodies! You can check HERE what is all listed in the care packages, there is a slight variation between men and women's. 

My care package was slightly different but I loved it! This is what I got:

• 2 packages of Gildan socks (New socks are like walking on heaven)
• 3 2000L T-Shirts in Red, blue, and pink (like above pink shirt)
• A sport crew sweatshirt bluish/gray color
• A big Gildan tote, that Velcros shut!

I loved all the items. I ordered a size Medium for my package which is the normal size I wear. All the items fit, but the sweatshirt seemed a little short in the sleeves. It was still super comfortable! I would recommend these care packages to any! Who does not need socks, shirts, etc?? They are made of great quality and are super comfortable. Plus, you will be helping out a great cause with the  My Stuff Bags!!

Hollywood Fashion Secrets Review

So personally I find it hilarious when celebrities have fashion oops on the red carpet. It shows that they are human, and it also makes me giggle. (I know I am mean sometimes) Also, it means that these celebrities do not know about Hollywood Fashion Secrets. I know about them, and I love their products, I just wish this meant I was a celebrity! Thankfully Hollywood Fashion Secrets are available to everyone, and they are amazing! Added bonus for my local ladies, they are made in Minneapolis, MN.

I was more than excited when I was sent their "Fall Favorites". I have been waiting for awhile to do this review, as I wanted to wait until I was able to use all the products I was sent. Here is a description off all I was sent and my opinions of them!

Lint Removing Sheets:

• 30 sheets ea. come in a 2 pack
• Reminds me of those sheets you use to remove the oil from your face, (they have those too!) but these remove lint from your clothes.
• Super convenient, I keep one in my purse and it it great for on the go touch ups!
• Strong & Powerful, and last more than one sweep of your shirt!
• Definitely recommend

"The Original" Hollywood Fashion Tape:

• Clear double sided stick tape to hold garments in place
• This would help many celebrities with their "nip slips"
• Works great with buttoned up shirts from that gaping in between buttons 
• Holds up a tube top great 
• Made from 3M Hypo Allergenic fabric friendly strips
• These are a must have! 

Sweater Saver:

• I was terrified of this at first! I thought it would for sure rip my sweater wide open, not get rid of the pilling and fuzz!
• I definitely did the garment test like it recommends, because I was so nervous about ruining my clothes.
• I tried it on my sweater that I thought I would just have to throw away, because the pilling was so bad...it is like a brand new sweater! It took all the fuzz right off, and did not damage my sweater at all! 
• I would definitely test the material first, but this is another must have for the Fall/Winter wardrobe!

Hollywood Boot Straps:

• Do you wear high boots over your jeans in the Fall/Winter? I do and these have made it some much easier to dress!
• They are straps that you put around your ankles or calves to hold your jeans tight and in place. For me as a runner, I have large calves so I wear mine on my ankles and they work great. 
• Now you don't have to fold your pants into your socks and hope that they stay in place. The straps keep your pants neatly in place and looking nice!
• Fall/Winter MUST HAVE for boot lovers!!

Temporary Hem Tape:

•  It is rare, I mean very rare that you  would see me in heels, but on occasion it will happen. Some of my pants look cute with flats, and others well sometimes they just call for a heel to be a little sexier!
• The Hem Tape is perfect for these times! I can wear the longer pants with the heels and when I want to wear my flats (usually) I just add some Hem Tape. 
• Reminds me of the Fashion Tape, it does its job and works great!
• If you are between short and tall like me, you can NEVER find pants that fit correctly in the length...I recommend the Hem Tape for times like these! 

Overall everything I received in the Fall must have collection was amazing! I would recommend these products to everyone! They are very reasonably priced and they do their job. There are so many items to choose from, check them out!! Get $4.99 Flat Rate Shipping and on orders over $25 FREE shipping! Get all the things you need to make this Fall and Winter season, a great one in fashion!! LIKE them on Facebook too!

Burt's Bees Review

I was super excited when I got picked to review Burt's Bees new Sensitive Skin  facial cleanser and daily moisturizing cream. I have always had break outs and they are annoying and embarrassing, I am not in high school anymore, I just want clear skin. I also have sensitive skin, so finding the right product can be hard as well. 

I have tried the Burt's Bees cleanser and cream for over a week now. The first few days my skin felt really smooth.The cleanser takes some getting used to, as it does not really lather so that was weird. The great feelings only last a couple days though. My face broke out even more and using the cleanser and the cream made me feel like I was rubbing in double the lotion. The cleanser as I said does not lather so I feel like I am rubbing lotion into my face. Even after you rinse it off it feels as though there is a residue that is left behind. 

I did like the daily moisturizing cream, just not used in combination with the cleanser. My only complaint about the cream was that 3X the amount I need comes out, so I feel like I am wasting so much of it.  

Here are some facts about the products:

• Cleanser is made with Cotton Extract
• Soap free (Cleanser) and fragrance free(both)
• Hypo-Allergenic (both)
• Dermatologist tested (both)
• Cleanser has rice extract to moisturize and aloe to soothe

So overall the Burt's Bees products did not work out well for me. I felt like I had a residue left on my skin and it did not help clear up my skin, but made it worse.I would recommend the daily moisturizing cream, but personally I can not recommend the cleanser. 

I received the above products for free for being a  Bzz Agent in exchange for my honest review. As you read above, those are my honest opinions of the products.
