TIDE PURCLEAN REVIEW

by Leave a Comment

tide purclean product review

It’s my day off today meaning it’s my laundry day. And it’s time for me to use and test the Tide Purclean Honey Lavender HEC Liquid Laundry Detergent that was sent to me through bzzagent for free. I am glad that I received a pack of 5 to test this laundry detergent. Having a baby now, I am all about safe and natural detergents and fragrances. Good thing that Tide has this kind of product.

Tide Purclean Honey Lavender HEC Liquid Detergent has these following features that I really like:

  1. Tide purclean is a formula made with 100% renewable wind power electricity and is made at a site that has zero manufacturing waste to landfill.
  2. Tide purclean™ Liquid Laundry Detergent is a bio-based detergent with the cleaning power of Tide.
  3. Free of dyes, chlorine and phosphates and brighteners
  4. For use in standard and HE washing machines
  5. Available in scented and unscented washes.

Tide Purclean is a product every household must have especially if you have a baby because it doesn’t use harsh chemicals.  I love the fact that Tide has come up with a completely bio-degradable product. It’s about time that we should also use an environment friendly product. This detergent works just as great as any of the other products Tide currently has now and the smell is great and performs well in cold water too! It leaves our clothes feeling fresh and clean all day.

I will definitely buy this laundry detergent again. It’s all worth the money. You can purchase this product at your local store now. I saw this when we went to Canadian Tire and the price was at $19.99 (2.21L).

Vaseline Lip Essence Cherry Petroleum Jelly

by Leave a Comment

Lip balm or lip moisturizer has become my ”must-have” in my purse since I came here in Canada. Apparently, the harsh weather in this country makes my lips dry. I’ve tried different brands: cheap, expensive, made of organic ingredients and even made my own. But none of these really satisfy me.

The latest one that I tried is the  Vaseline Intensive Care Lip Essence Cherry Petroleum Jelly. I got it for free from yessytle.ca. And nope I’m not oblige to review the product. I’m doing this review because it’s worth my time. And I mean it’s my favorite!

Here are the reasons:

1. It doesn’t feel heavy. You know some of the lip balm feels like it adds weight to your lip.

2. It moisturizes my lips all day. My lips feels softer. looks healthier and never experience crack lips since I use it.

3. It blends well with my lipstick (currently using Revlon 525). As with other lip balm I notice that the color of my lipstick won’t stay long.  Not with Vaseline Care Lip Essence.

4. A little amount goes well. It’s not a stick but a jelly that you can squeeze from a tube.

I wouldn’t say it’s a perfect one ‘coz I found some cons about this product too.

1. It’s not cherry flavor. I wonder why they call it cherry. My first impression is that it might be a flavor lip balm but it’s not. It smell and taste just like the original petroleum gel. Which is not really good.

2. No color. I was expecting it as red but it’s a clear gel. Well it’s not a big problem on my part because I wear lipstick.

3. Quiet expensive. It’s $ 4.66 at yesstyle.ca But I would say it’s worth my money.

 

Overall Vaseline Care Lip Essence is still my favorite lip care product. This product is Frugal Chickas’ approved and rated five out of five.

XTAVA Allure 220W Professional Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer Review

by Leave a Comment


It’s been awhile since I last purchased my hair dryer. I only bought it from the drug store which was the cheapest one. My hair can only use a professional hair dryer if I’m in the salon. I always dream of having a professional hair dryer because I have a frizzy hair. Frizzy hair should have a good hair dryer.  An opportunity came when I was invited to review XTAVA Allure 220W Professional Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer. As usual, Xtava’s Packaging is really beautiful, elegant and neat.

I was so excited to use this professional hair dryer. The first time I used it, I was thoroughly impressed. This is a powerful hair tool. It only takes a few minutes to dry my hair and it’s not that frizzy at all.

Here’s the feature of XTAVA Allure 220W Professional Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer:

  1. 2200w motor with a lightweight frame. Made styling much quicker and easier
  2. 2 speed setting and 3 heat settings. You can customize the setting to your own hair type.
  3. Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Technology. With such a powerful hair dryer, ceramic technology makes sure that your hair is protected from over drying and it saves time in drying your hair too.
  1. Concentrator Nozzle included. Vital for getting the straight look, and taming the frizz.

I am pleased with this professional hair dryer.  I would highly recommend this hair dryer. I can feel that I left the salon everyday using this XTAVA Allure 220W Professional Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer.

XTAVA AUTO CURLING IRON REVIEW

by Leave a Comment


Although, I have a curly, hard to manage frizzy hair, I do sometimes use a curling iron to at least curl my hair the way I like it. This is my second product that I received from Xtava for review. The first one was a straightening iron. You can read my post here. I love hair tools. I’m addicted to it since my hair needs one. But the problem is I need to a really good hair tools since my hair is hard to manage. I tried lots of tools some works best but others do not last long. Hair tools are quite expensive too.

I have tried lots of curling iron but I was not really satisfied with the result. With Xtava’s offer to review a hair curling iron, I was not hesitant to accept it since I like to try new hair tools. As usual, Xtava products has a really nice packaging. It’s so neat. I like the all black box. It looks elegant.

Here are the features of the Xtava Auto-Rotating Curling Iron:

1. It is a universal dual voltage, a travel friendly device because this appliance operates at 100 – 240 volts AC. So it’s not a problem for me if I go home for a vacation in the Philippines.
2. Automatic Shut off. So now worries if you forgot to unplug the device, it will automatically switches off.
3. Maximum temperature setting is 430F. This will be perfect especially with the hair type I have since my hair is so curly and coarse.
4. I will not need an extension cord since the curling iron has a n 8 feet and 360 degree swivel cord. Your cable won’t get entangled while styling your hair. It will simply rotate as you work.
5. Express heat up time: within only 2 minutes and the device is ready to use. What I like with this one is that there’s an LCD display for the temperature. At least I don’t have to guess how hot the device is already. The LCD display will ensure simple and accurate operation.
6. The Xtava curling iron is an auto-rotating barrel. Simply clip the hair on the barrel and let xtava do the job! I just need a little bit of practice with the device because I can’t see the auto rotating button which is the L & R button on the device. The ceramic tourmaline barrel generates constant and even heat creating long lasting perfect curls.

This is my first time to use an auto-rotating curling iron. For me, I find it hard to use the auto-rotating button since I got confused on which button to press. I need a lot of practice but once I will get used to it will be easy for me to do my hair. And once I will get used to it, let Xtava do the job since it has an auto-rotating barrel. I like this device because of the large barrel which my hair need. I can do a large section on my hair to curl. Usually with my curling hot iron before, I only do small sections on my hair to curl it. This device is amazing. It creates nice curls on my already curly and coarse hair. I would gladly recommend this product to all the women who want to style their hair.
