Ultimate Straight by Loreal Paris Review

Review Time,

Influenster sent me another Vox box, this time for Loreal Paris's Ultimate Straight collection.

The shampoo and conditioner works as well as expected. The box also came with a pre-conditioner. I don't know about you guys but I am pretty sure I have enough bottles in my shower. Maybe one more is that one too many? It also came with a straightening gel, this stuff seemed like a neat addition for the days that I plan to go the extra mile and use the straightener. Instead, it made my hair dry and frizzy. It textured it, which for straightened hair doesn't accomplish what you want. Texturizing is more for curling hair so it will hold its shape. All in all I'm not sure I would go out of my way to buy this product. Seems like it's more fluff and fancy labels rather than actual, usable product. That said I will always be willing to try out some new products from Loreal Paris.

Deal On Kids Clothes, Don't Miss

So I am always looking for free stuff. I mean really, why pay for stuff if you really don't have to. I also have three kids to look after and don't have four hours to hunt down the best offers on the hundreds of freebie site scattered all across the inter-webs. So when I find something super cheapo or free I want to let you guys know about it. For starters baby stuff is so east to find.... really!

Pampers, Huggies, Enfamil, Similac. All of these will send you more formula and extras then you will even know what to do with. My daughter was 6 months before we finally started to run out. All you have to do is go to one of these websites while your cruising the internet and fill out the fields. (Lots of people use a fake or old email address to avoid the onslaught of spam that sometimes follows.) These guys also send you diapers and lots of coupons and anyone that has had children knows how expensive that stuff can get.

Finally, my reason for the post today. I recently discovered a new website that sells gently used kids clothes. If you're like me you probably just got a little squeamish at the sight of "gently used". Hey, I'm with you, used clothes for me isn't bad but for the kids? Well your first purchase will be free. When you sign up you will get a $15 credit. Then if you create a new collection they will give you another $10. Use this credit to try out the clothes and see what you think. Right now (5/15) they have free shipping as well so definitely check it out! Finally, the best part! The take a percentage of your purchase and donate it to local school to supplement their budget for musical instruments, art supplies, updated texts and other supplies. Pretty good cause to be a part of!

Click Here and don't forget to create a collection too!

As always let me know what you think and if you have any sites with freebies worth getting or discount clothes please post them in the comments.

First Batch of Reviews

As promised I have completed some reviews for you that I hope you all find helpful. Since I am simply posting links for my reviews instead of rewriting or copying them I will add a few to each post.
