How Well Does ColourPop Pretty Fresh Foundation Hold Up?

I sent my mother one of the makeup pieces I had received. She got to try it out and let me know how well it worked for her. Her skills with makeup are way more refined than mine. 

*This product was sent to me for free in exchange for reviewing. All opinions are mine or my mother's. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed.* 

This is ColourPop Pretty Fresh Foundation. There are 3 Skin Undertones and then you choose your color from there.  

Robin said it was very light weight on the coverage. It doesn't have an overbearing scent either, which is great for those who are smell-sensitive. At first, she was worried that the light weight wouldn't cover the redness, but as you can see in the pictures - it worked just fine. The color matched her skin tone perfectly! 

Where can you find it? 

Target has them. You can find it on their website HERE.  

Or you can get it from Ulta HERE.  

Go to the source on the ColourPop website!  

I found it at other places too, so don't think these are your only options. I just didn't think I should overload the post. I think overall, this works well. There are so many options, that it would be difficult not to find one to match your skin tone. A helpful foundation for staying glamorous!  

Be Natural Organics (+ discount code!)

As I get older, I am becoming more and more aware of the products I use and buy for my family to use. The chemicals that they contain and how they can affect a persons health are important to me. I have been moving away from things that are not organic, have been tested on animals or contain parabens and phthalates. Be Natural Organics caught my eye because of these reasons. They are also very affordable! 

*Disclaimer: I was sent these products for the purpose of reviewing them, free of charge. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*

First of all, I love that they offer trial packs at a great price. I was sent the Anti-Aging 4-piece trial collection. These run for just $10.

If you are curious about the ingredients they use, they have a list with explanations on their website. I appreciate them being so upfront about it all. It shows accountability as well as reliability. And is the best way to gain their customers trust, in my opinion. 

So how well did they do for me? 

The video shows my immediate usage and reactions while using their products, but I would like to add that my skin was noticeably better! I did this treatment before bed (best time without the kids and distractions). My skin felt smooth and clean. When I woke up the next morning, there was not nearly so much oil as I usually have on my face. This alone made it worth my time! But aside from all that, I find the quality and prices to be fantastic.

They also have great perks for ordering from them! 

They have a rewards program to give you points when you purchase from them. Every dollar spent gives you a point. Its the perfect way to go natural and save money! New customers can get 30% off as well. But even if you are not a new customer, you can still get 30% off because you are my reader! Use the code: NerdyWords30. Plus free shipping on all orders in the United States that are $50 and more. 

Even if you are not into a healthier way of living, these products can do wonders for your skin. Or maybe you should consider them as gifts for the people who are naturally inclined in your life! Now is the time to get great deals and finish up your shopping list.

it Factor hair products review

I have naturally thick, coarse hair. And frequently I like to grow it out to a point that I have enough to cut it and donate to Locks of Love. In the meantime, however, I have to deal with a rough horses mane for hair. It's unruly, plain, and not as soft as I'd like.

Before....

At least until now. I was given the chance to try out some it Factor™ products that have had me saying Wow! for the past couple days now.

Shampoo, Conditioner, and Smoothing Lotion - all with the Quick Blowdry formula and VaporBoost System™. One washing and a couple dabs of the smoothing lotion had me ready for a night with the girls! I let my hair air dry since blow dryers can be so damaging and take so long with the amount of layers I have to go through. it Factor™ has a quick drying formula that enables your hair to dry faster. It also keeps your hair smooth and soft. I've always wanted hair like the commercials and this is the closest I've come yet!

After!

I also love how it doesn't have all those unhealthy added chemicals such as: sulfates, parabens, or sodium chloride. I was able to wear it down all night and not once be tempted to pull it into a pony tail which has had me breaking at the top.

The scent is really light. It's not like the name brands that are overwhelming but don't last. I think this is great also for those like my mom who have allergies to string scents. I can't even spray much perfume on when I go to visit or she starts sneezing like crazy. Have a lighter scent in my hair means I don't have to forfeit a hug to save her nose! The Shampoo leaves your hair clean and shiny. The Conditioner gives it the soft, bouncy, smooth and shiny effect. And the Smoothing Lotion also helps keep your hair smooth and shiny while helping to keep your hair detangled and frizz-free.

All three products are safe for colored and chemically straightened hair. Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled with them. I was a Dove™ only user, but this has changed my tune. Compared to it Factor™, Dove™ seems dull. Check them out and let me know what you think about them! They have products for coarse and fine hair. You can purchase them online here.
