QwikShower Big Wet Wipes review and giveaway

When I first agreed to complete a review of QwikShower Big Wet Wipes I thought, “These would be useful for wiping the baby down after an ice cream treat in the car or for someone to take to the gym with them if they’re in a hurry to get out.” What I didn’t realize is how many more situations the QuikShower Big Wet Wipes would come in handy for.

QwikShower Big Wet Wipes come in a resealable pouch of 6, 12, 24, 40, and even larger bulk packs.  Each Big Wet Wipe is individually packaged.  Put one or two packet in your purse, back pack, gym back, or even if your pocket if you like.

I first used them on myself for a quick wipe down just to see how they worked.  These wipes are larger, about the size of a big wash clothe.  They have a fresh scent similar to that of a the little wipe packets you get at a restaurant. Each wipe contains aloe vera to help protect your skin.  
I then tried them on my toddler.  It seems several times a day he’s in need of a good wipe down.  They worked fine on him and didn’t seem to bother his skin at all.  
QwikShower Big Wet Wipes are great for a weekend of roughing it on a camping trip, to take to the gym, put a few packet in your teen’s back pack for them to use after gym class or practice, Take a few with your on a hot day outside to keep yourself feeling fresh, and so many more ideas.
I could personally see myself keeping these in the car for soccer season. My boys sweat like I don’t know what and some time the car ride home has a strong essence of sweat.
In my opinion a shower is always the best thing but when you can’t shower, I think QwikShower Big Wet Wipe are a good alternative.

Alpha Hydrox Skin Care Enhanced Lotion and Foaming Face Wash review

Neoteric Cosmetics Inc. offers several skincare and beauty brands.  One of which is Alpha Hydrox.  Alpha Hydrox offers a range of skin care products from face wash, body wash, acne spot treatment, and more.

Alpha Hydrox is an  anti-aging line using Alpha Hydroxy exfoliation.  Exfoliation helps to remove the top layer of dead skin cells letting the healthy layer of cells through.  Giving your skin a healthier, younger look. More abrasive exfoliants like scrubs and loofahs can break down the skin.  A healthier option for the skin is Alpha Hydrox acids like those used in Alpha Hydrox products.  Using a skin care product like Alpha Hydrox can also help remove the skin cells from pores to help reduce breakouts.

I remember hearing about Alpha Hydrox years ago.  I had never tried a product with Alpha Hydroxy acids (AHA) in it before.  I had an opportunity to try Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash and Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion.  
The Foaming Face Wash is a light cleanser.  It didn’t really have a scent to it that I could tell. The face wash come in a generous 6 fl oz bottle.  It’s a liquid soap type of consistency.  There’s no color too it. It’s sort of a translucent white.  This face wash is meant to be used both morning and night.  The directions say to squeeze a little into your hand, lather in your hand until it starts to foam, then massage onto face.  It rinsed off easily.   The box says it is meant for all skin types but it’s particularly beneficial for those with oily or problem-prone skin. 
I really like this cleanser.  I have area of concern for my skin.  Even though I’m a 30 something, I still get frequent break outs in my T-zone.  I also have some signs of aging starting on my skin that I like to try to work on and lesson the effects. I felt this was a good cleanser for my skin.
The 2nd product was the Enhanced Lotion with 10% Glycolic AHA Anti-Wrinkle.  
This product states that it can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  It gently exfoliates dead skin cells.  It also says it can renew moisture, refine texture, improve elasticity and skin tone.  It contains moisturizes and Vitamin E.  This product again is fragrance free and white in color.  It has the consistency of a thin body lotion.  This product can also be used both morning and evening.  This bottle I received is 6 fl oz. I only needed a drop about the size of a nickel to cover my face.  
My skin get particularly dry in the winter time.  To the point of itching and discomfort at times if I forget to use a proper moisturizer. I did not feel this product’s moisturizing properties were enough for my dry skin.  I also feel it fair to note that I had a pimple that was open on my skin.  When I applied the lotion it did burn a bit when I initially massaged over that are with the lotion.  My skin felt very tight after putting the lotion on.  I felt it was more to not having enough moisturizer and my face being dry that a firming tightness.  I ended up applying a separate moisturizer over top for comfort.  
Alpha Hydrox products are very reasonably price and generous sizes.

Purex UltraPacks liquid laundry detergent review and giveaway

I’m a Purex Insider.  I had the opportunity to try the new Triple Action Purex Ultra packs liquid laundry detergent.  The Purex UltraPacks have the same cleaning power as traditional liquid detergent. The difference is that they come in pre-measured  “Ultra Packs”.  No measuring, no pouring and spilling, just throw one Ultrapack into your wash and add your clothes, that’s it.  
Purex Ultra packs work in all machines including HE washers.  It comes in Mountain Breeze scent or Free & Clear for those that don’t want or can’t use fragrance or colors.  You only need one Ultra pack to do a whole load of laundry.  If you have heavily soiled clothes though, you can use two.  Each Ultra pack is 2 X concentrated, meaning each pack has double the cleaning power of other liquid laundry detergents. 
Purex Ultra Packs come in a resealable bag.  In the bag I received here was enough for 18 washes.    I loved the convenience of these little packs.  I used the Mountain Breeze scent. I loved that it still had the same great scent as the Purex liquid detergents.   
Purex Ultra Packs will not be available until February 2012.   Starting February 2012, you can stop by FreeSamplePurex.com to get your own free sample of Purex Ultra Packs.  As soon as I get the exact date for the samples to start I’ll let you know.

****UPDATE**** I have received the coupons for this giveaway!  It’s giveaway time:
