Carefree Acti-fresh Liners Review

 Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing some panty liners.  I don't usually use these, but after trying these they have become extremely useful.

                                                        Carefree Acti-fresh Liners

I really liked these. These were perfect to use before and after menstruation- for days when you discharge, or when you have a light period day. I also used these on days that were hot- it helped get rid of any sweaty or uncomfortable feeling. It helps maintain a freshness to that general area.

It is comfortable in the sense that you do not notice it's there when you put it on, however I did notice that sometimes it'll slide off if there was TOO much heat/humidity (like if I was outside in the heat for a few hours with too much layers on, and went to use a bathroom). This can be a bother, so if you rely on just this, make sure you bring extra or backup.



Update:  I was in family dollar the other day and found similar ones by the brand 'Always'. It was only $1.  Same amount, and they work just as well,  minus the sliding off. Both are good options, however I think I'll reach for the Always brand since they are easier to find in my location. (Keep in mind,wearing panty liners for too long, can cause irritation)
 

I received the Carefree Acti-fresh Liners through Influenster for testing purposes, however all opinions are my own.

Physicians Formulas Shimmer Strips Review + Swatches

Posting this super late, oops.  Hi everyone!

Here are swatches of the Physicians Formulas Shimmer Strips All-in-1 Custom Nude Palette for Face & Eyes.  Each one is with two swipes. I like it! Mostly the more bronze (8-12) type of colors since they make my blue eyes pop (I personally rather use these as shadows). 

This palette is said to be used as the following: Shadow, Eyeliner, Bronzer, Blush, or highlighter.  As with most products that promote multiple ways to use it, the shadows won't have extreme staying power or pigmentation.  This rings true with the lighter colors, which are mostly used as a highlighter or blush (Top two rows).

I found these to be soft, and not chalky, and they were smooth when applying. It does a great job at giving you a subtle shiny and glowing type of look.  While I did love this product, I did find that the shades would swipe and fade away easily after leaving it there for a while.  This can be due to user error, since I did not wear any sort of primer. 

 In conclusion: There are SOO many products that have these exact same shades, or have better staying power.  What sets this apart from others is the texture and smoothness of it. It does give you a glowing appearance without seeming chalky or packed onto your face.


*Note: While each row is made for a specific purpose, you can mix and match to your liking.
These retail for: $13.95 online, but in some places you can get this for about $10 in stores.
