NEW Purex® plus Clorox 2 ® Laundry Detergent gives me the best of both worlds! @purex #PurexPlusClorox2 #SocialInsiders #Spon

Disclosure: I am a member of the Social Insiders. The brand provided me with samples of Purex® plus Clorox 2 and coupons in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.




I am a busy mom that juggles a lot just like everyone dos. Between work, travel, trying to help with homework, cook healthy meals, squeeze in fitness and keep up with laundry it is a crazy schedule. I am always on the lookout for anything that can help me do household tasks more efficiently. The to-do list always seems to be so long for all my chores even with a great husband who does a lot. What if I told you I found a product that actually helps you do laundry more efficiently? I was excited to see that two of my favorite products from Purex and Clorox were recently "married" to formulate a new and effective stain fighting detergent. I was honored to be one of the first to try the newest innovation from Purex®! NEW Purex® plus Clorox 2 ® combines the Purex® Dirt Liftpower you love with an extra boost from Clorox 2®!


Everytime I go shopping and end up in the laundry detergent aisle there are just oodles of products staring me down. What is the best product to use? How do you decide? For me, it comes down to efficacy and value. Purex plus Clorox 2 Detergent is innovative and effective because it combines the bright clean of Purex with a super powered boost of Clorox 2 stain fighters. This is a detergent that was truly formulated to get out the toughest stains. I don't know about you but my family leaves me with some doozies when it comes to stains. I was excited to hear that this new detergent was tested by the experts at Purex in over 100 stains too and it works effectively. That is reassuring to me that no matter what my hubby or tween brings home on their clothes, I know Purex can remove it. I have had great experiences so far with it plus the best part is that this Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent is totally safe on colors. 


Sometimes you worry about whether a detergent is going to work on particular stains that plague your household. Do your kids play sports? Perhaps you or your spouse play sports too. My hubby and tween play Ultimate Frisbee so don't even talk to me about grass and dirt stains. I am sure Ultimate Frisbee rivals football and lacrosse for the dirtiest sports. How about sweat? I was very pleased with the performance of Purex plus Clorox2 detergent on all of those stains plus it left my clothes fresh and clean. Not to mention it worked nicely on all my gym clothes and I work up a sweat. I can really sweat up a storm with my HIIT cardio classes, spin and don't forget hot yoga. I literally peel those clothes off and bring them right downstairs to the laundry.



Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent also did well on everyday food and dirt. I like that I can count on Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent to get all my clothes clean from work items to towels, blankets and kids clothes. It really provides a bright clean for everything I have to wash each week. The stain fighters are high quality in this Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent and get out the worst stains that my family can do every single time. I like that it is safe for colors too. Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent is a smart value detergent versus many of the other options out there too.

I love to put my own spin on things whether it is mixing and matching makeup or my outfit for work. MAKE Beauty products were designed to spark your own desire to create. These are completely user friendly makeup products but are professionally formulated. Each product was designed so you could experiment with it to fit your own style. I love all the different ways I can use this makeup including wearing it wet or dry, alone or layered, subtle or super-pigmented. Perfect for day, night or even special occasions. One of the things I love about MAKE Beauty products is that they are paraben free,  not tested on animals and are hypo-allergenic.

I received two miniature samples of the eye shadow and lipstick to try out and while it was a challenge to get a complete layered type of look, the makeup performed well and the colors were truly exquisite. I received Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster and Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy. They both had lovely textures and applied smoothly on my skin and lips.  


The MAKE Beauty collections for lips, eyes, cheeks and skin offer rich formulations and exquisite palettes. I can just imagine how pretty a look you can create with the wide range of colors, finishes and textures they have in their product lines. I prefer a lighter, more natural look for day but I will go all out for a special evening out with my hubby or a formal event. MAKE Beauty has the products that let you achieve a perfect no-makeup or modern minimal look or you can rock a totally more pigmented finish if you prefer. 

I received a mini sample of the Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy. This is a truly moisturizing lipstick that provides bright color. It is super creamy but has good staying power which is an unusual combination in the makeup world. This creamy lipstick is filled with antioxidant vitamins including rosehip, soybean and safflower oils. It even contains Aloe and chamomile extracts to offer additional conditioning effects for dry lips. It was surprisingly feather-resistant and stayed on for hours. I looked at some of the other colors online and was impressed with the highly pigmented colors like Heliotrope and Magnolia. There are 18 colors to choose from in this Silk Cream Lipstick line.  MAKE Beauty suggests that you apply this lipstick over primer and liner for the best and most long-lasting results.

• Usage: Apply to lips after primer and liner.
• Full Size – 0.12 oz. (3.4g)
• Price $25
• Not tested on animals, hypoallergenic.

I also received a mini sample of the Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster.  I love a fresh neutral like Alabaster and find it adds a little pizzazz to a simple look. You will totally make them look again when you apply this stunning, intensely pigmented shadow. Alabaster is a soft eggshell shade that has peach undertones. It is matte so it is perfect for day or night. It comes in an array of 34 blendable shades. The velvety matte powder goes on smoothly too. I found it to be quite crease-resistant and it stayed fresh for most of the day without touch ups. It is comprised of an oil-free formula that has Vitamins C and E help to provide antioxidant protection for the delicate eye area.  You can apply dry or wet for a more intense finish depending on the look you are trying to achieve.

• Usage: Gently sweep over lids.
• Full Size – 0.10 oz. (2.8g)
• Price - $25
• Not tested on animals, hypoallergenic

They even have tons of makeup videos to help you achieve the perfect on-trend look.
