Vita Liberata Review (Holiday Gift Guide)

During the winter months, I do not always have time to stop by at my local tanner. I am always looking for other options to get my skin that natural tan I am looking for. I am always scared to go to holiday get together and be the lightest person there. I am usually a pale person, so it become very awkward.

Recently I was introduced to Vita Liberata and their self tanning products. Here is a little background on Vita Liberata: Vita Liberata is a luxury self tan and skincare brand. Vita Liberata is the first oodourless tan. Their products are completely non toxic and 80 percent organic. When I learned about they product the offered on their site I was excited that I was going to be able to try their products for the holidays. I received three products to try out. They are pHenomenal, Rich Face and Rich tinted tan gel.

The first product was Rich tinted tan gel. I love the concept of this product. This product offers an instant tan. Which is great to tan and go. If you have a holiday party coming up you can tan and go. This product is non toxic and organic. When I first applied this product on my skin there was no strong smell to this self tanner. When I was rubbing this product in my skin I also noticed that their was no noticeable streaking. When I applied the self tanner it rubs very easily in my skin and looks natural. It took about 5 hours to get that golden bronze that I was looking for. I was pretty impressed by this product. I did not have time to go to a tanner and I applied this product and it looked just as good or even better. It took about 5 hours and all I had to do was rub this product in my skin and go. Very simple and easy. 

PHenomeenal is the next product that I received. If you are looking for a longer lasting product than this is your product. This product is last 4 times longer and also has a natural fade. This product is available in fair, medium and dark. What I like about this product is that new technology pHeno2 works with time release DHA which will release DHA over time. When I tried this I fell in love with it. My tan last about a week and half before I had to re-apply this product. When I applied this product to my skin it rubbed in my skin leaving it streak free. It also absorbed in my skin pretty quickly. I also liked how this product left my skin soft and smoothed after applying. If you are using this product you need to use a tanning mitt. After using this product I did not see results until 10 hours. It can take 3-24 hours to notice the tan. When you noticed the tan forming you want to rinse lightly with water and pat dry with a towel. After this another coast is recommended. Than you can repeat again after the second time for a third. This will help you get the full effect from this product. I would recommend this product if you are going on vacation or a trip to the families. Having that long lasting natural tan would be perfect.

The last product that I received was Rich Face. Rich face is a light tinted moisturizing gel. I noticed results in roughly 5 hours. The normal waiting time for results is 4-8 hours. This product is a great moisturizer and instant bronzing for the face and neck area. When I applied this to face area I noticed that it blended very well and did not leave a weird looking bronze. This product can be used for your everyday moisturizer. Since I have sensitive skin  was afraid that this product would irritate it. This product can be used for any skin type. I use this product now for my everyday mositurizer.

I would highly recommend Vita Liberata for your holiday needs. I know for me personally I tend to get busy and do not have extra time going to the tanning booth. This product can replace the tanning booth and bring you that beautiful tan you are looking for. Also it is a safe product that will not hurt your skin during the process. You can find their products here.

Firefly Toothbrush and Foaming Toothpaste Review

toothbrushes
I am always looking for the best and fun products for my children when it comes to oral hygiene. As a child starting a routine on taking care of your teeth is highly important. Sometimes brushing your teeth is not fun, but with FireFly products the bring fun to your child while they are brushing their teeth. Sometimes their is an issue while my son is brushing is teeth. There are times I am not sure if he is brushing his teeth long enough. Firefly came up with the perfect solution. They built a timer inside the toothbrush. They have three lights on the tooth brush and it lets you know the progress on your teeth. It also lets you know when you are finished brushing your teeth. 

When I was introduced to their foaming toothpaste it was quite interesting to me. I never seen a concept like this before. Your child pumps the toothpaste foam in their mouth, than they proceed to brush their teeth. Which I thought this was very strange at first, but then thought about it over time and thought it was a great product. This prevent a lot of clean up and mess while brushing their teeth. This is ideal for toddlers and young children. When you put this product in your child's mouth the foam toothpaste get into hard to get places. If your child has braces this product would be perfect for them. It prevents damages to the braces. This product also contains fluoride and comes in bubble gum flavor. This product is available in Original, Angry Birds, Spiderman, Barbie and FireFly.  Each bottle contains 1.69 ounces in each dispensers.

Their new Firefly Ready Go Brush helps your child brush for time that they need to. On the toothbrush it self it looks like a traffic light to let the kids know how long they need brush each row of teeth to prevent cavities. This is a great product that kids are going to fall in love with and they are going to help prevent cavities. Your child can choose from Barbie, Spider Man, Angry Birds or Firefly.

Overall my 3 and 5 year old absolutely fell in love with these products. They thought they were awesome. These products help my children know how long to brush their teeth and also encourage them to brush their teeth more often. My son loves his Spiderman toothbrush. Also fun fact that I like about Firefly is that they are made in the USA.

Baby Journey Magic Tray Set Review (holiday gift guide review)

I think shopping for a child under a year old for the holidays is the most difficult for me. I am never sure what to buy or what to look for. I tend to spend hour and hours just trying to pick one thing out and majority of the time I end up buying nothing. 

When I was recently introduced to Baby Journey they are a great site for babies. They carry baby gates, bath, changing pads and travel accessories. I was able to review their new products that are coming out this fall and they are the safari magic tray and tea party magic tray. When I heard about this Magic Tray Set I thought it was a great idea.

When we received both the safari and tea set magic tray in the mail. My opinion changed from a great idea to an amazing toy for a child under a year old. What I love about these trays is that you can bring them on the go. I know that my child at 6 months would get bored in the car or at the restaurant and this would make the perfect toy. On this magic tray there is a power zone and this brings the toys to life. In the Safari set the lion roars, the toucan's wings flap and the monkeys banana lights up. Then the tea set the tea pot whistles, cupcake candle lights up and the cup spoon stirs. I also like how this comes with a storage bag that you can bring on the go with you. The tray's dimensions is 
11L x 8.5 W x 2H and the toys are 2.5H. The toys do take batteries and the batteries are not included. 

If you are looking to find the perfect toy this year for 6+ I would highly recommend Baby Journey Magic Tray. These sets are very cute and brings a lot of fun for your baby. I wish  had these sets when my children were that age. I would highly recommend this product. You can find the Magic Tray at their website. Baby Journey Magic Tray.




Batiste Review (holiday Gift guide)

 Over the holiday season I know that I am always busy and on the run. I can already tell you that this Holiday Season is going to keep me on my toes. I know at time when I am at a Christmas party I need to freshen up and sometimes I feel like my hair need some attention also. I have a great product to tell you about! This product comes in a full size bottle or it come in a travel size. The travel size is a great product to have in your purse. So in case you have a hair emergency Batiste will help you with your hair emergency.


Well I was introduced to Batiste Dry Shampoo and this has been a great substitute for me. It has helped me throughout the day to give my hair that look I love. What is Batiste Dry Shampoo you may ask? Batiste dry shampoo helps banish oily roots. If your hair is looking dull through out the day, like my hair is usually looking. Batiste will give you that beautiful makeover without using any water. That is right you do not have to get your hair wet. 

I was able to try Fruity and Cheeky Cherry and Floral and Flirty Blush Batiste Dry Shampoo. I was surprised by the smell.Which was real nice. The other night I was going out to dinner and my hair was not looking good, so I decided this would be the perfect time to try Batiste. It was very simple using this product. All you do is shake the bottle, spray your hair, then massage your hair to work this product in. I was pretty impressed by this product!. I noticed that my hair had more volume and it looked amazing. I was rushed for time and this did not take long at all and I was ready to go out for dinner. 

I like how Batiste offers different scents and different sizes. The bottle I received was 6.73 fl oz. They also offer smaller bottles for travel. I like how they offer both sizes. The smaller bottle would be perfect for travel or to have handy in your purse for when you need it for an emergency. I would love it if I am out on a date, wedding, or any occasion to have this on hand.
