Hersey's Chocolate with Hazelnut Spread


I received a jar of the New Hersey's Chocolate Spread with Hazelnut in return for my honest review.
First I must say that I have never tried Nutella but both my boys have and love it. Although I never tried Nutella I love Hersey products and I was very excited to try it right away. As soon as it came in the mail it didn't take much time for me to rip the package open, grab the bread, bananas, honey, and start my concoction. My kids have always had Nutella with bread and honey but I thought adding bananas would top it off just right. At first the boys wanted to stick to what they knew until they tried a bite of mine and then they were hooked
How to make the best Hersey's Chocolate with Hazelnut spread sandwich in 7 easy steps!
  1. Get your ingredients as I stated above (sliced bread, bananas, honey, and Hersey's spread)
  2. Toast your bread
  3. Put your Hersey's spread on both sides
  4. Slice bananas on top on one side until you cant see the spread anymore
  5. Drizzle honey on the bananas
  6. Put the other bread slice on top and slice in half
  7. Eat it while it is still hot!

When I tell you this is the most amazing sandwich ever I am not exaggerating! This stuff is amazing!! I compared the ingredients to the back of Nutella and again Hersey's seems to win as far as what I would consider better ingredients used. Also, my boys that use to love Nutella have now replaced it with Hersey's Spread! It's officially on the shopping list. One con, the jar was empty within the first 4 days!! Lol.. If you want to consider that a con? So, do you like chocolate spreads, than what are you waiting for? Put it on pretzels, graham crackers, fruit, anything your heart desires, just watch out cause it will go fast!!

Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream


ponds
I received the Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream in both light and medium shade for free in exchange for my honest feedback.
Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream is available in both light and medium shades. The medium shade of Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream was a perfect match for my olive/tan skin tone. Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream is exactly as it says, luminous! It goes on silky smooth, smells amazing (as all Pond's products do), gives you a glowing look and gives you long term benefits of even toned skin! It delivers a pigment system designed to blend into your skin flawlessly and conceals pretty well for minor blemishes. It helps target dark spots and helps them fade over time, which is great for women like myself that have blemish prone skin and need a product that will help with the dark spots!
Here are some pros about Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream:
  • It smells wonderful
  • It blends into your skin tone easily and beautifully.
  • Gives light to medium coverage.
  • Targets dark spots and helps them fade over time.
  • Long term benefits of even toned skin.
  • Bottle design is awesome and eliminates the risk of contaminating the product.
  • A little goes a long way!
  • Leaves you with a glowing appearance.
Some cons of the Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream:
  • Some people are very sensitive to ANY scent a product could have (even small amounts).
  • Product doesn't come in a dark shade.
  • Product may be too moisturizing for women with extremely oily skin.
As you can see there are many more pros than there were cons with Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream, however to some women the cons listed may be a deal breaker and are must be considered before purchasing this product. Outweighing the pros and cons and looking at the long term benefits, as well as the products performance, I would have to say I believe that Pond's Luminous Finish BB+ Cream is one of the better ones on the market today!

Truvia Natural Sweetener

I received a sample of Truvia Natural Sweetener in exchange for my honest feedback.
I have tried a few natural sweeteners and never really cared for any of them so when I was excepted to try this sample I must admit I wasn't sure if I would like it at all. I drink chamomile tea almost every night to help calm me and get me ready for a good nights rest. I decided to switch my regular sugar I would normally use with the Truvia Sample I received. First I was surprised that I didn't have to use nearly as much Truvia as I normally use with sugar in order to get my tea to the sweetness I like. Second I noticed that there really wasn't much of a difference at all in the taste of Truvia to sugar, if anything Truvia has more flavor than regular sugar does. After drinking my nightly tea I was convinced that not all natural sweeteners are equal. Although my experience with some of the other brands hadn't been good Truvia was amazing! I've been told that many natural sweeteners only taste good when using them to bake but I would have no problem sprinkling Truvia on my fruit because it taste that good! Plus Truvia has zero-calories and comes from leaves so it's better for you than other alternative sweeteners. This was one fact that I really liked about Truvia.
If you have tried a few natural sweeteners and haven't had a good experience or if you haven't tried them but have been wanting to, do yourself a favor and go for the Truvia! You will be happy you did!

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes Ultra Soft Clothes

As I have said in a previous posting, I really like Neutrogena's products; I've had some great experiences with them so far. I was a Target shopping one day and had come to their skincare aisle, I saw that the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes Ultra Soft Clothes Twin pack was on sale and since I trust Neutrogena's skincare line so far I decided to try it out.
I liked Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes Ultra Soft Clothes, If I was rating this item from 1-5 (5 being the best and 1 being the worst) I would rate it a 4. They are very soft for the most sensitive skin and remove my make-up with ease! The only reason I would give it a 4 is because I wasn't crazy about the smell. It had a cucumber scent (I believe), although I like cucumber melon scent on many things I can now honestly say I really don't like it on my face! I normally wash my face after using the towelettes and basically use them to ensure that all my make-up is removed before I wash my face so I don't really have to smell them for too long. I would recommend them to anyone, the smell may be something that only bothers me and it's hard to find great make-up removing towelettes that are this sensitive!
Here are some pros about this product:
  • They come in a easy to use pouch which is great for traveling.
  • They are very sensitive on skin.
  • They are gentle enough to use near your eye area.
  • Each towelette is a perfect size to use on any face!
  • Using disposable clothes are a great way to keep your skin healthy and prevent breakouts!
Here are some cons:
  • I personally wasn't crazy about the scent.
So as you can see from my pros and cons list Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes Ultra Soft Clothes are a great buy! Feel free to ask me any questions and thanks for reading!

Cottonelle FreshCare Flusable Cleansing Cloths


cottonelle 1
I received a sample of the new Cottonelle FreshCare Flusable Cleansing Cloths in exchange for my honest feedback.
I have used several other personal bathroom cleansing cloths in the past and I have never liked the design of the dispenser they come in. Some say the stick to your wall, others say they keep your cloths moist, but I still haven't found any that had everything I would want from a personal bathroom wipe. What is it that I am looking for? I would want a cleansing cloth that is tuff and wouldn't rip while I was using it, I would want one that had a great scent, one that had an easy dispenser, a dispenser that was easy to reach and kept my wipes moist at all times, one that was safe to flush and that went with all of my bathroom decor no matter what it was. Well, I just described the New Cottonelle FreshCare Flusable Cleansing Cloths! It has it all! Best of all it looks as if it is smiling at you while sitting nicely on your bathroom counter or where ever you may need them.
Although they may be used mainly in the bathroom don't underestimate this cloth! It can be used in your childs play room for easy clean up, in your kitchen to wipe down your baby after feedings, anywhere you may need to clean up quickly is where this cloth can come in handy! Best of all, it's sleek dispenser design makes you feel comfortable having it anywhere in your home. Not just in your bathroom. So, think outside the box for easy everyday clean up and pick up your own Cottonelle FreshCare Flushable Cleansing Cloths.
