Crowdtap Unilever Sampling Take Two: Dove and Suave Beauty and healthcare products #sponsored @Crowdtap @Dove

I recently had the opportunity to sample a variety of Dove and Suave products through a sampling from Crowdtap. This was a fun box to try out and I was surprised at the quality and value of the Suave line of products. The fragrances were enjoyable and the products were effective and fun to use. If you are looking to find some good products and save money, Suave is definitely a brand to check out.

Dove Clinical Antiperspirant Deodorants both had a light, fresh scent. They are reasonably priced and smell really fresh and clean.  Neither of them had a super strong pefume kind of scent either. They went on smoothly and left just enough scent to feel fresh. They both worked well during my regular work day when I tested them during the week. The formula in the Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deodorant Rebalance glides on easily and keeps me feeling clean. It has a fresh plum and sakura blossom scent. I like that it is moisturizing and alcohol free too. The formula in the Dove Care Clear Tone Sheer Touch was also very good and had a nice fragrance as well. For the best results,  I apply my products after a shower and wait until my underarms are dry. Both of these keeps me from sweating during a long and stressful workday which is important and provides effective odor protection. There were no white marks on my clothes either.

The Suave Extreme Hold 10 Hairspray left my hair with a natural-looking hold and control. It sprayed easily and smoothly on my hair. I liked that this is a vitamin- and protein-enriched formula that works for all hair types. The formula adds back moisture instead of drying the hair out. The hairspray creates a fresh, natural effect and held my hair all day long.  The extreme-hold formula provides a natural-looking effect and all-over control that kept me looking good all evening long during a recent special event. It is inexpensive and leaves my hair looking great. This product is a great value and works effectively.

Suave Silkening Body Lotion is infused with real baby oil. It moisturizes my skin deeply and left it feeling comfortable. If you like the scent of baby powder you will really like this. It is not my personal favorite though I love so many other scents. I liked the feel of this lotion though. This lotion is made with a unique formula that is super enriched with baby oil. It leaves your skin silky smooth to the touch. It is gentle enough to use on the whole family so it is perfect if you have little ones since you can save time and money with one moisturizer for everyone.  I like to use this right after a bath or shower to lock in the moisture. You can smooth this gentle lotion on hands and body every day. If this scent is not your fave you can try one of the other Suave Professionals Body Lotions. One of the things I do love about these lotions from Suave is that they are clinically proven to provide 24-hour moisturization which is key for me. This product is a great value and works effectively to moisturize my skin.

Suave Professional Firm Control Sculpting Gel is a great option to keep hair in place all day long. This is easy to use and perfect for men or women that want firm hard. Add a dime sized amount of product to damp hair and scrunch it in for pretty curls and firm hold. It is great if you have naturally straight or super wavy hair. You don't need a lot and be careful about using too much. You only need a bit to create a really nice look that will last all day long. I like the large size and it is an excellent value. This is a good one to try if you like firm hold and want to save money.

If you are looking to find some good products and save money, Suave is definitely a brand to check out.

Suave Clinical Antiperspirant Deodorant Coconut Kiss has a light, fresh scent. It is inexpensive and smells really fresh and clean. It doesn't have a super strong pefume kind of scent either, it is just enough to feel fresh. It almost has a light cherry coconut scent. It lasts most of the day but after my evening workout it was a bit challenged.  It worked well during my regular work day.  The formula glides on easily and keeps me fresh during the day. I would reapply for a long evening or a hard workout.  It keeps me from sweating during a long and stressful workday which is important and provides effective odor protection. There were no white marks on my clothes either. This is a great value.

Suave Suave Waterfall Mist Shampoo has a light, fresh scent. It is inexpensive and leaves my hair looking great and smelling fresh and clean. The Waterfall Mist Shampoo gently cleansed my hair and left behind a light ocean air kind of scent.  The fragrance was not heavy but I did notice it during the day in a good way. It left my hair feeling soft and hydrated when I used it along with the accompanying conditioner. This product is a great value and works effectively to clean my hair.

Suave Suave Waterfall Mist Conditioner has a light, fresh scent. It is inexpensive and leaves my hair soft and shiny. My hair was easy to brush though too. After my usual routine I left the house looking great with freshly styled hair. The Waterfall Mist Conditioner moisturized my hair and left behind a light ocean air kind of scent.  The fragrance was not heavy but I did notice it during the day in a good way. It left my hair feeling soft and hydrated when I used it along with the accompanying shampoo. This product is a great value and works effectively to condition my hair.

Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom Body Wash is a great cleanser that has a really nice fragrance that I enjoyed. It totally smells like fresh cherry blossoms. It smells good in the shower and the scent lasts during the day. I have smelled the one from BBW and this one really does smell as good as that one. After my shower this body wash left my skin feeling clean and soft. The scent lasted and was really pleasant. I like the large size and it is an excellent value. This is a good one to try if you like cherries and want to save money.

Red Gate Beauty LipSense makes it easy to have a pretty lip color lookall day long plus a discount! #sponsored

I have a busy career and spend my day running around from account to account and fielding calls in between it all. Thank goodness I found Red Gate Beauty and LipSense to help me maintain a pretty lip look without worrying about reapplying over and over throughout the day. LipSense from Red Gate Beauty is a lip color system that is unique in that it is waterproof, kiss-proof, smear-proof and beautiful too. LipSense colors work in tandem with their moisturizing shea butter based gloss. You use both products together to get that lasting effect. I received the two gorgeous colors you see above: Aussie Rose and Bougainvillea Gloss.

LipSense is easy to apply and use and really does last throughout the entire day. LipSense is a long lasting liquid lip color that is also free of lead, wax, gluten and is kosher, vegan and not tested on animals. I love that LipSense is made in the USA to ensure high levels of quality control too. You can mix and match the LipSense colors to make your own custom look too. LipSense is a great option for women of any skin color from very light to very dark and everyone in between too. You can customize the colors to best fit your personal skin tones. The nice part about LipSense is that it is not a challenge to remove after your busy day is over. You don't need to scrub hard or rub. You can use the Red Gate Beauty Ooops Remover, another oil based remover of your choice, Neutrogena bar soap or just plain castile soap. Easy peasy! 

How do you apply LipSense to make sure it stays on the guaranteed 4-18 hours? That is a cinch. Clean and dry your lips. Shake the LipSense tube. Apply the color in 3 layers. Swipe one direction with a thin layer and wait 10 seconds. Leave your mouth open and no touching the lips. You might feel a little tingle. That is normal. Apply your second layer after 10 seconds. Wait 5 seconds then apply the gloss to magically seal the color and add moisture. Reapply gloss before meals and to keep the color longer.  Don't forget to store LipSense at room temperature. Avoid high heat.

I focus on healthy eating and living an active life. Some days it can be a challenge.  Now it is easier toeat healthy on the go anytime and anywhere. I found them recently at a Whole Foods near me. I tried Tio gazpacho de sol which was delicious! These handy and yummy soups are great for on the go. You can even tuck one in your lunch bag or in your tote. These would be great for parties, tailgating or even picnics in the park. There are six delicious flavors so you can try all your faves. They have Clasico, de Sol, Verde, Rosado, Maiz and Fresa.

I loved the homemade flavor of the variety I tried. It made a delicious lunch with a simple salad. These are great for work, school or even a picnic. Fall tailgating takes on a new level with fresh Tio gazpacho too. All the soups have no added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. They are gluten free and vegan too. As I mentioned, I found it at Whole Foods this past week. They are also stocked at Wegmans and some Shoprite stores. Check their website since they are adding new stores all the time.

SPLENDA ZERO® Liquid Sweetener lets you enjoy life without compromise. @crowdtap #splendasavvies #sponsored

Splenda Zero Liquid Sweetener is the easiest way to sweeten my coffee or tea on the go. The tiny container stashes right in my purse so I can travel with it to my local coffee shop or on the road. I know I have it when I have to fly across the country, I like that it has the same amount of sweetness as 100 packets of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so it lasts forever. This tiny container is microscopic!  Each squeeze has the same sweetness of a ½ packet of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so I can use what I need. Usually one squeeze is perfect for all my needs.

I get warm on hot summer days so I like to cool down with a Lemonade Cocktail on Fridays after work. It is a special treat that I really enjoy! Ready to get sweet without those cocktail mixer calories? Use SPLENDA ZERO™ Liquid Sweetener like I do. The tiny container easily fits in your purse or pocket, but contains the same amount of sweetness as 100 packets of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener. You can take it anywhere you go to enjoy the sweetness of sugar without all those calories.

Mix up a fresh batch of lemonade using this instead of sugar. Each squeeze delivers the sweetness of a ½ packet of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so it is a cinch to measure. Sweeten up summer with SPLENDA® minus the calories.
