Garden Botanika skincare review and giveaway

In 1989, Garden Botanika was started. Their mission was to create botanical based products that are a careful blend of science and nature, would be cruelty-free, and gentle to the environment. Their mission still holds true today.

I had the opportunity to try Garden Botanika’s best selling Daily 1-2-3 skincare and their bestseller Age Reverse Night Recovery cream.

As you can see in the picture their products are free of artificial dyes. What you can’t see is that they are also free of parabens, gluten, glycols, phythalates, SLS, and are vegan.

I tried the Daily 1-2-3 skincare of normal to combination skin. The 1-2-3 skincare consists of a cleanser, tonic, and moisturizer. I received the Balancing Gel cleanser. This products had a natural scent. You could smell the orange oil in the product. It also uses algae extract to remove impurities in the skin. You can see this pictured on the far right in the pic above.

Step 2 for normal to combination skin is the Balancing Neutralizing Tonic. This one again uses orange oil which is evident in the pleasant scent. It also uses walnut seed and echinacea extract to protect skin and panthenol and aloe to comfort. This is pictured on the far left in the pic above.

Step 3 for normal to combination is Balancing Daily Moisturizer. This product comes in a glass pump bottle. The moisturize itself is very light and absorbs into the skin right away. Botanical ingredient in this product include: Orange oil, Echinacea Root extract, green tea, acai berry, glycerin, and panthenol.

The 3 step combo was gentle on my skin. My skin didn’t feel weighed down or irritated in any way after using these products.

The last product I tried was the Age Reverse Night Recovery Cream. Again this came in a glass pump bottle. This product was also very light and is meant to be applied at night. It was gentle on my skin. It is supposed to help minimize age spots and sun damage and make your skin appear smoother and more radiant. Honestly, because I’m pregnant I’ve been having a bit of a pregnancy glow anyway so not sure if this product added to that. After a few nights I felt like my skin was a little more taut.

Garden Botanika does not just offer these products though. They also offer cosmetics, fragrances, bath products, and more. As a fun savings find, every Tuesday they have what they call Super Tuesday Savings. They offer one customer favorite 50% on Tuesdays.

You can find Garden Botanika on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Garden-Botanika/153799290332

These were great safe and effective products to use. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a natural, cruelty-free skincare routine. Garden Botanika only ships to the US and Canada.

Garden Botanika is going to give 1 Luv Saving Money readers all the products

I reviewed here geared for their skin type

Soft Scrub Total All Purpose review and giveaway

I’ve been using Soft Scrub cleaners in my house for years. Mostly the Soft Scrub cream cleanser before. Thanks to Purex though, I was introduced to the new Soft Scrub Total All Purpose cleaners.

I received the Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Lemon Scent to help remove grease and grime from the kitchen and Soft Scrub Total Bath and Bowl. There are several near features about both that I really like. It’s a spray bottle but you can hold it upside down to spray and it works just the same as if you were holding it upright. This comes in handy for spraying the inside of your toilet bowl for instance.

Another neat feature of both of these products is that there is a flip open screen on each one. Close the screen to get a foam spray, open the screen to get a regular spray.

I decided to try the kitchen cleaner from Soft Scrub on my stove. It was definitely a bit grimey. I was kind of obsesses with the foaming action so I used that on the stove as well.

I think it worked pretty well. The bathroom cleaner I used in the tub, sink and toilet. I even used it on the stainless steel faucets and such and it did a great job.

Soft Scrub also has a sweepstakes going on that they wanted me to tell you about. Enter the Soft Scrub Tough and Gentle Sweepstakes for your chance to at $3000 in prizes. The grand prize is $1000 but 50 more winners will win $40 in gift cards!

That’s not all, Soft Scrub is also giving 3 Luv Saving Money readers a coupon for a FREE bottle of the Soft Scrub Total cleaner of your choice!
