~ The Fekkai BzzCampaign ~

I love being a BzzAgent as I get the opportunity to participate in BzzCampaigns and try products for free while in return I will share my opinion about these products.

This time I was lucky enough to get picked for the Frederic Fekkai BzzCampaign. I was pleasantly surprised when I received my BzzKit, which included full-size 8oz. bottles of Fekkai Technician Color Care shampoo and conditioner, also included were samples of the Fekkai Glossing cream for me to pass along to friends and family, a BzzAgent letter, and a Fekkai brochure and DVD with information about Frederic Fekkai and his line of hair care products.

The first thing I like to do when seeking out a new shampoo and conditioner is checking out the scent. And I have to say, the grapefruit-like smell of both products is irresistible! The bottles were sleek in their appearance and handy with a simple pop-up lid for easy dispensing. And don’t let the small size of the bottles fool you, these products are so rich, luxurious and sufficient, you will be able to use much less than other products you may be used too! I have used both products for quite a while now, at least several weeks, and I still have more than half the bottles of both products left in them!

The shampoo is lathering up nicely, and while you indulge in the great scent while washing your hair, the shampoo takes care of the rest. It restores moisture, makes your hair soft and shiny, while protecting your hair color against brassiness and UV light fading, making its shine super vibrant! The conditioner is creamy and luxurious, it makes the hair super smooth, which you can already feel while rinsing it out. The scent is my favorite feature overall, it will last and last not only while washing, as many other products’ scents are already gone after your hair dries up, but this shampoo and conditioner’s scent will last the whole day and even the next day it still smells great, and I’m still always glad to get a whiff of it now and then throughout the day.

I love how these products pampered me and my hair. My hair is straight, long, and color treated every couple of weeks, which leaves it frizzy and damaged. I’m also using red hair dye, which is a hard to keep looking vibrant color anyways. I switch shampoo and conditioner brands quite often to find the right brands to revive my hair’s look. But it is kind of hard to find the shampoo and conditioner that do not weigh the hair down while trying to make it look smoother, and instead making it look like it need to get washed again only after a couple of hours. I have rarely seen my hair look so shiny and healthy, while feeling smooth, sleek, and having my hair color look vibrant. I received quite a few compliments about how good my hair looks, thanks to the Fekkai Technician Color Care shampoo and conditioner!

I have never used the Fekkai brand before but am honestly very impressed and happy with the results I got. I have to admit I actually fell in love with the Fekkai Technician Color Care shampoo & conditioner! I recommend trying it out for yourselves and honor yourself and your beauty with a little pampering that you so well deserve!

BzzCampaign - Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer Cream - My review

BzzCampaign - Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser and Daily Moisturizing Cream

As a BzzAgent I received full size products for free to test and review. I was recently selected for the Burt’s Bees Sensitive skin line BzzCampaign which I enjoyed being a part of very much.

The BzzKit I received included a full size Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser, a full size Daily Moisturizing Cream, a BzzGuide and BzzAgent letter for me to help me create some Bzz, and also several samples of the Daily Moisturizing Cream plus coupons to pass along. Here is a pictureI took of my great BzzKit the day it arrived:

Now on to a little background story about me: Ever since I was a teenager my facial skin has always been very sensitive and still easily breaks out today. I am constantly searching for the perfect facial product for my skin that are gentle, yet fight breakouts successfully. I tried a lot of different facial cleansers already and think it's hard to find one that works for me.

Now on to a little more valuable information about the products in the new Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin line you all might want to know. All products are 99% natural and gentle enough for daily use. They are fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic, dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested. Burt's Bees has also made a point in never testing their products on animals ever since they came into business over 25 years ago! All products in this line contain cotton extract to soften and help replenish the skin’s outer layer. Cotton extract includes seven sugars which help improve the skin’s barrier function, reduce skin redness and increase production of keratin, which is the key material that makes up the outer layer of the skin, gives strength, flexibility and its water-retaining capabilities. Cotton extract increases softness, suppleness of the skin and helps even out the skin tone. You can find the Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin line in mass retailers like walmart and Target, drugstores, grocery stores, and natural health stores. Depending on your skin's needs you can choose between facial cleanser, daily moisturizer, eye cream and night cream. Price ranges between $9.99 and $14.99.

The Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser is a soap-free, very cream like cleanser, that is clinically proven to moisturize sensitive skin. It gently cleanses away dirt and make-up without over drying, irritating or causing redness. It has a nice texture and left my skin super soft after use! It’s almost completely non-foaming, which took me a little while to get used to since I usually use foaming cleansers.

The Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizer is a weight-less lotion that will not clog your pores up. The aloe in it soothes your skin and the rice extract keeps skin moisturized all day long, which is a great lotion especially right now in winter. What I really liked about this lotion is that it did not leave any oily residue behind and absorbed completely into my skin. I usually avoid lotions on my face because my skin responds to them almost always very sensitive and breaks out like crazy.

My opinion of both products: I enjoyed using the cleanser and moisturizer very much! I loved how clean, soft and renewed my skin felt. The only negative thing I experienced is that I had lots of little breakouts after a few weeks because this cleanser lacks an anti-breakout additive. I'm sure this is not caused by these products, but rather because my skin is extra sensitive during this pregnancy and my hormones are a little whacky.

My rating for these products: 4 out of 5 stars!
If you have sensitive skin and are looking for products that really work for you, I highly recommend that you give the Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Solutions line a try and see for yourself how great they work!
