NEW reinvented Dove®, with Fiber Actives

I am just winding down another BzzAgent campaign for NEW reinvented Dove®, with Fiber Actives. This is a new hair conditioning treatment from Dove. My hair is very short. I am a little leery of most conditioners because they usually weigh my hair down and make it look greasy. I have actually been using Dove's "regular" conditioner for some time now but I only use a tiny bit. I was interested in this new conditioner but was a little afraid that it is marketed as a treatment. I was worried that it was going to be very heavy.

I was wrong! This conditioner comes in a tube. Even as I was squeezing a small bit into my hand I was thinking about how oily my hair was going to look but, surprisingly, it rinsed clean away and my hair actually appears to be stronger and have even more body. The OPPOSITE of being weighed down! My hair can tend to get frizzy on the ends during this extreme heat and humidity that we have experienced so far this summer but I have not noticed my hair becoming frizzy at all. Even during a business trip to hot, humid, New Orleans!

I will be traveling to Orlando for business in two weeks. I'll be really anxious to see how my hair holds up to THAT heat and if NEW reinvented Dove®, with Fiber Actives can keep the frizzies away!

Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless

Another BzzAgent review to post!

I was in a campaign for Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless makeup. I received a foundation, blush, color corrector and eye concealer. I have been using (and LOVING) Bare Escentials for about 4 years now so when I received these products, I really didn't think I would like them at all. Especially since it is now summer and that is when I really appreciate the lightweight of the Bare Escentials. But, I'm in a campaign. I said I'd try it and I did (well, most of it!).

I used the foundation first. My first try, I just used my fingers. I've never really been a fan of an applicator, other than a brush. But it seemed to stick to my fingers and not go on my face. So, the next time, I used the applicator. It truly was flawless! The makeup goes on really smoothly and with only a hint of color. When using the applicator, it feels much like a very lightweight tinted moisturizer!

I have also been using the eye concealer. I have been using my fingers for it since I only use a very small amount. I have not yet tried the blush or color corrector but I still plan to.

I would have to weigh the costs and how long the product lasts a little longer to decide if I want to permanently switch but I really was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Covergirl and Olay Simply Ageless makeup.
