NEW Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair Review #RapidResults

Disclosure: I was provided with the following products as a part of the Vogue Influencer community.

Taking care of my skin has always been very important to me. Now, more than ever, I have been paying a lot of attention to the products I am using and what they have to offer. I may only be in my late 20’s but my mother always taught me that it is never too soon to take care of your skin. Aging doesn’t happen over night and even though we may not be able to stop it there are products to help stall the process! In the past year I have noticed a ton of changes in my skin. I don’t get the quality of sleep I used to which has resulted in dark circles, fine lines, and dull skin. I am always ready and willing to try products that will put a dent in these issues and with the Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair my skin has slowly came back to life.

During the Summer your typical beauty and skincare routine is almost guaranteed to change just as fast as the weather does.

My complexion instantly turns from flawless to frightening within days and I find myself frantically looking for a miracle. The song “Summertime Sadness” now has a completely new meaning.

A SIMPLE Solution To Skin Care + Special Offer At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Sensitive skin is an issue I am far too familiar with. I have always had a decent complexion, clear most of the time with an occasional stress induced breakout. But in time all good things must come to an end! Once I had Toodie I noticed a huge difference in my skin and how sensitive it became to the products I had been using years prior. Sure pregnancy gives you that natural “glow” that others rave about but after all that goes away your skin has to adjust back to normalcy. My usual routine was leaving my skin irritated and angry. I had the red splotchy spots, patches of bumpies, and dry areas that weren’t very flattering at the end of the day. I needed a miracle and after stumbling upon a Simple® Skincare display at Walgreens I had the answers and solutions I was looking for.

Green Grab Bag Review

To all of my monthly subscription box lovers, let me introduce you to the Green Grab Bag! As part of this eco friendly program each month you will get at least 6 beauty samples that are natural, organic, and vegan. These samples will include skin or hair products, makeup, fragrances, and more. Unlike many of the subscription programs floating around, the Green Grab Bag is known for keeping their service 100% natural. Not only are their products organic, BUT their packaging is even eco-friendly! This includes their bag, shredded filler paper, tape, and even their wrapping materials. It’s refreshing to see a company that is truly devoted to providing the greenest of the green! I have read a numerous amount of positive reviews on the Green Grab Bag and was thrilled when given the opportunity to experience it myself. 

The August edition of the Green Grab Bag embraces the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. The samples provided are meant to assist in hydrating, exfoliating, and replenishing for a fresh fall look. In my bag I received six different generous sized samples. Taking a quick look at everything, most of these products remind me of things I would find in my local Whole Foods or natural food store in their cosmetic section.  

  • Selma Valentines Whipped Body Butter: soothe dry skin with this decadent body butter, made from moisture rich coconut oil.
  • Green Tea Skin Anti-Aging Cream: it’s never too late to reverse & repair, and this multi-use, antioxident rich cream does the trick on face, neck, hand and eye areas.  
  • Emtage Hair SILKtage Rejuvenating Serum: turn your dry, parched hair into silk with this amazing product that offers 30 benefits in one bottle. 
  • Moody Sisters Organic Eye Cream: fight those fine lines and deflate those bags with this luxurious cream, loaded with vitamins and essentials oils. Great for nails and cuticles too.
  • Tierra Mia Organics Raw Goat Milk Soap: baby and nourish your skin with one of these delicious smelling soaps. Everything your skin needs and nothing it doesn’t.
  • Scrubz Natural Skin Care Lipz Shea Butter Lip Balm: you should crack a smile, not your lips. Keep them soft and smooch ready with pure shea butter and eight botanical oils. 
 I can’t say that there was one sample that I did not enjoy using from this bag. My favorite product was the whipped body butter because it smelled amazing and was the perfect size to keep in my purse. Even the eye cream has become a staple in my nightly routine. Green Grab bag allows you to try new products and their deluxe samples can even be used more than once. This is a great way to try before you buy. The upcoming September Green Grab Bag is currently being curated by the Whole Body Department of Whole Foods Market. It’s going to feature deluxe samples of some of their most popular national brands that are being hand selected for next month’s bag. With that being said, you will not want to miss out on September!

If you are interested in subscribing to Green Grab Bag, they offer two different subscription options. You can pay $15 a month or you can purchase their yearly membership with a 20% discount attached. If you are someone that enjoys trying natural, organic, and vegan products then this program is something you will probably enjoy. For more information you can visit the Green Grab Bag website or stop by their Facebook to see what other fans are saying about their experience!

Beautybox Five Review

Beauty Box Five is a monthly beauty subscription service that provides members with 4 to 5 cosmetic samples each month to try. Each box is $12 a month, $30 quarterly, or you have the option of purchasing it for $100 to cover a full year. Some of the brands that Beauty Box Five works with are Weleda, Freemans, Blinc Cosmetics, and Tree Hut. Beauty Box Five also has a referral program in which you refer 5 friends to join and you will receive one month for free!

In my box I received 5 products to try:
  • Blush from Everyday Minerals ( Girl Friday )
  • Makeup primer from Bodyography
  • Makeup Geek Eyeshadow pan (Sensuous )
  • Dry Shampoo from Pssssst
  • 2 Freeman  anti-stress facial masks

Out of all five products I have only used one previous to receiving my Beauty Box Five. I am a huge fan of the Freeman’s facial masks but was happy to see that the other products we’re new to me. It’s always nice to try something you never have before.  

The Everyday Minerals Blush came in the color “Girl Friday” which is described to be a soft plum berry shade. This color is matte and won’t leave your cheeks glittery. I hate when mineral blush makes my face look shiny. This is very subtle but a little goes a long way. If you apply to much you could overdo it very easily. ($6.99 for the mini size)

The Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Sensuous was the first sample I was eager to try. I have always loved deep plum eyeshadow colors and this looked to have a good amount of sparkle to it. The texture was soft and it was easy to blend. I wore it a few days to test its staying power and to my surprise I didn’t have any issues with it creasing or disappearing during the day. Not really feeling the refill pan because I have no wear to stick it after I throw the packaging away. ($5.99)

The Freeman’s Anti Stress Mask is one of my favorite things to use when my skin goes completely crazy on me. I have the full size in my bathroom right now so I decided to save these packs for traveling or over night stays. It’s made with natural ingredients and is very gentle on the skin. I’ve always found it to be helpful in calming down breakouts. ($1.99-$2.99)


I really wanted to like the Bodyography primer but I am still on the fence about it.  It goes on very smooth but I couldn’t help but feel like it made my skin oily. I usually stick to oil-free foundation primers and the texture is a lot different. It did hold up during the day and it didn’t make me break out, so that’s a plus. I am going to keep using this and see if it grows on me. ( $30 for Full Size )

The Psssst Dry Shampoo was the last product that I tried. I have used my fair share of Dry Shampoos and this is by far the best smelling one. It also doesn’t leave your hair feeling dry or chalky. You can’t even tell that this is in your hair after spraying. While giving you body it also gives you a freshened up look. The 1.76 oz bottle is also air travel friendly! ($3.99)

With Beauty Box Five being $12 a month I wanted to calculate the retail value of each sample received. It does appear that you would get your moneys worth with the products provided but in some cases it could be a hit or miss. Most of the products I did like with the exception of being iffy about one. But then again you have to remember this is a subscription program and the point is to try new things and see what you like or dislike. I am going to keep up with Beauty Box Five because I think they do have potential. I hope that in the future they add more well known brands to their beauty boxes like other competing companies.
