Mr. Bubble 3 in 1: Body Wash Shampoo and Conditioner & iOS App Mr. Bubble

October 5, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I’ve worked with Mr. Bubble but we haven’t stopped using it, that’s for sure. I just received samples from them of the Mr. Bubble 3 in 1, body wash, Shampoo and Conditioner and I’m excited to use it on the kids. Well, Miles has decided that he has outgrown bubbles but Zoe and I will enjoy it. Which brings me to the question? When are you supposed to separate your kids in the tub???

 

IMG_8586

I love the Mr. Bubble 3 in 1. Mr. Bubble makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty. A gentle, hypo-allergenic formula that’s tear free and dye free. The bubblegum fragrance and tons of suds makes bath time fun! This 3-in-1 formula is perfect for cleaning from head to toe! This formula does not contain animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals. The other one is a sensitive formula that is extra gentle.

There is a new Mr. Bubble App that you can try if you have an iOS device, the Mr. Bubble! app.

Join the iconic Mr. Bubble character that has delighted kids & parents for over 50 years and splash, pop, paint and wash in a virtual bathtub. With big buttons for little fingers and lots of interactive animations and sounds, it’s an app kids won’t be able to put down.
NO ADS or IN-APP PURCHASES, the Mr. Bubble app comes compete with three fun mini-games to play:

imageVirtual Bath Time
Fill the tub, add bubble bath, splash & pop bubbles, play with a rubber duck and 5 other bath toys. Even get a visit from Mr. Bubble himself now and then!

Bubble Paint
Pick from a group of cartoon kids (or Mr. Bubble himself!) or use your own photo to paint on with bubble or foam soap. Make bubble beards or hair, just like when you play in a real bubble bath. You can then save or share your bubble paintings.

Mr. Bubble Washup
Get Mr. Bubble dirty with everything from beach sand, a messy peanut butter & jelly sandwich or a friendly (but muddy) dog, then turn on the shower and wash him clean!

Other Mr. Bubble Features:
– Works on all iPads (including the mini), iPhones and iPod Touches with iOS 5.1 or later!
– Beautiful Retina graphics for iPad and iPhone
– Designed for kids 3-6, with no text instructions to read
– "Child-safe" mode that keeps little ones from accessing the more complicated screens like settings, camera/photo album, or sharing photos via email.

Philip B. Oud Royal Forever Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

May 9, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Samples Received:

Philip B. Oud Royal Forever Shine Shampoo and Conditioner

By Lynn:

I was given the opportunity to try out a shampoo and conditioner by Philip B. Oooh what a lovely little product! I am often on the lookout for a shampoo and conditioner set that leaves my hair feeling soft after the wash and hey, let’s be honest I’m a stay at home mom, I need this stuff to last a few days WITH a workout here and there in between! It also doesn’t get oily too quickly which is surprising. I’ve had a few conditioners that make my hair feel soft and silky, but at the cost of getting oily too quickly. DSC_0900

My hair is super coarse and thick and tends to get oily, and this really has not been the case with this shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels clean too! I’ve used it a few times now, as sometimes my hair gets “used to” a product and doesn’t seem to work as well, but not true here. Another little “experiment” I did with the product is put it on my 5 year old’s super straight hair. It made her hair is SO soft! I don’t wash her hair that often, she’s clean and doesn’t get sweaty so I don’t find it necessary to have the added argument every other night but after A WEEK of washing her hair it is still not only soft but SHINY! Seriously.philip b shampoo and conditioner

Philip B. Oud Royal Forever Shine advertises that it defrizzes and this is something I noticed for me. They say it also has a “time released botanical hydrators” that keep your hair shiny for longer and like I’ve said I really noticed this.

It’s a little on the pricey side but I think it’s worth it if you are someone like me who has frizzy out-of-control-hair and needs to have good hair days from time to time! As moms we need to have some pampering times for ourselves! Get it for yourself or your mom, or forward this on to your hubby if he needs an idea of something extra to spoil you!

Oh and did I mention how SOFT my hair is?? Oohhh!

Beginning Bath & Beauty Skin Care Products for Baby By Maclaren

March 10, 2012 by Momstart 14 Comments

By: Ashley

It wasn’t too long ago that I became a HUGE fan of Maclaren. I was in the market for a lightweight, yet durable, stroller and quickly learned that no one (in my very humble opinion) could match Maclaren. That’s why, I was SO excited to learn about Maclaren’s line of skin products! If a company could make such amazing gear that made life easier for both parents and children, I couldn’t wait to see what that same dedication would do for a skin care line. Let me start off by saying, I was NOT disappointed!

DSC00728

“Maclaren makes skin care stuff? Who knew?” That was literally what I said when received the samples of products for this review. Now, a shower, some lotion, and some body balm later, I am fully supporting the Maclaren Beginning line. What makes this stuff so special? Here’s what Maclaren has to say…

DSC00731

(These are) products offering everyday personal care for the entire family (mothers, fathers, babies and children). beginning…everyday, a natural and gentle range of holistic bath and body care products, delivers real therapeutic benefits based on holistic aromatherapypractices, and is made from the purest ingredients safe for sensitive skin.

Now, here’s what I have to say! I’ve kind of gone back and forth about what I think of the potentially dangerous chemicals found in lotions, shampoos, soaps, etc. It’s a tough spot to be in when you want to do everything you can to keep your babies healthy but also need to be cost conscious and… well to be honest, not afraid of everything in the world. That’s one of the reasons I really like the Maclaren Beginnings line. The products are natural… but don’t cost an arm and a leg. A little more than some of the other more traditional baby products, yes… but, for high quality skin care, suitable for sensitive skin, that leaves your body and mind feeling luxuriously relaxed…? Beginning is a GREAT product line.

DSC00735

Product Line Descriptions:

Replenishing Body Lotion: Enriched with the moisturizing and anti-aging benefits of avocado, almond and chamomile oils, this water-based, non-greasy body lotion is specially formulated for delicate and sensitive skin. An organic essential oils blend of relaxing lavender and regenerative avocado oil, combined with moisturizing almond oil, glycerin and cocoa butter, boost the skin’s defenses against the damaging effects of UV rays while softening and soothing the skin.

Gentle Cleansing Face and Body Wipes: Made from soft organic cotton and lightly scented with organic lavender essential oil, these alcohol free cleansing wipes are gentle enough for use on body and face. Known for its anti-bacterial and soothing properties, lavender essential oil leaves skin clean, fresh and stress free.

Gentle Softening Shampoo: Created using only the mildest ingredients to cleanse and moisturize the hair and scalp, this gentle softening shampoo leaves hair shiny and silky. A comforting blend of soothing lavender and restorative mandarin essential oils, combined with hydrating aloe and glycerin, make this gentle shampoo rich in healing properties.

Gentle Moisturizing Hair Conditioner: Specially formulated to complement the beginning gentle softening shampoo, this mild conditioner is lightweight in texture, leaves hair moisturized and hydrated, and has the calming scent of lavender oil. A blend of mandarin oil, aloe Vera juice oil and glycerin provides hair with repairing and restorative benefits.

Hydrating Lip and Cheek Balm: A distinctive blend of organic Shea butter, bees wax and jojoba oil hydrates and moisturizes lips and cheeks. This balm is infused with a light lavender scent and specially formulated with natural vitamin E to protect sensitive skin.

Indulging Body Butter: A rich, buttery moisturizer providing an intensive dry skin treatment, this body butter has a lightweight texture for quick absorption. Highly moisturizing with a blend of organic Shea and cocoa butter, as well as soothing aloe Vera and almond oil, this special formulation leaves skin hydrated and soft. For ultimate relaxation, it is lightly fragranced with a blend of revitalizing orange and sensual ylang ylang.

Aromatherapy is another added plus of the Maclaren Beginning line. Whether it’s the relaxing scent of lavender, or the energizing burst of mandarin orange, they have done a great job of using just the right amount of scent. I don’t use scented things very often because I can get overwhelmed by smell. The natural scents in Maclaren Beginning are just right.

Jenerations Baby Collection: Organic Shampoo, Lotion, Gel, and Conditioner

June 3, 2011 by Momstart 3 Comments

Founded by hairstylist and salon owner, Jennifer Reilly, jenerations baby enables mothers to feel comfortable in developing healthy hair and body care regimens for their children at a young age while bringing sensitive and organic products to the children’s market. The jenerations baby collection includes shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, body lotion, body wash and soap with prices ranging from $7.00 – $15.00. 

jenerations baby

I received four samples from jenerations baby and I loved the smell of each of the products.

Jenerations baby Shampoo Bodywash

The shampoo and bodywash is lightly scented completley natural and organic made with extra sensitive mild ingredients. Including extracts of comfrey, chamomile and rosemary giving it that wonderful scent. Plus, NO lavender or tea tree oils, which may cause unhealthy increases in hormone levels. Hypoallergenic and physician tested. It’s the ultimate in luxury for your little one!

Jenerations baby Head to Toe Lotion

The baby lotion keeps your child’s skin smooth and silky with a light creamy fresh smell. The lotion has the moisturizing shea butter and sweet almond oil in it giving you a non greasy easy absorbing feel. There is NO lavender or tea tree oils, which may cause unhealthy increases in hormone levels. 100% sulfate and paraben free, completely natural and organic, hypoallergenic, and physician tested.

Jenerations baby Hair Gel

The baby hair gel is a great consistency to work with. And yes, I use gel on my kids and even used it on Miles at a very young age. I loved his curls and would do anything to keep them in. This safe children’s hair gel is completely natural and organic, and 100% sulfate and paraben free. Define curls, tame flyaways, or simply create a fun style of your own! Contains NO lavender or tea tree oils, which may cause unhealthy increases in hormone levels. Hypoallergenic and physician tested.

Jenerations baby Conditioner No Tangles

Zoe loves to have her hair braided but the tangles kill us both. Or at least they kill our mood. I have to use either a detangler or conditioner. With sunflower oil, wheat germ oil, and panthenol, this conditioner adds moisture and shine like none other. 100% sulfate and paraben free, completely natural and organic, hypoallergenic, physican tested, and with NO lavender or tea tree oils, which may cause unhealthy increases in hormone levels.

Green Tip: Buy Chemical Free Products This Year, Here’s Our Chemical Free Product List

December 31, 2010 by Momstart 5 Comments

This marks the last green tip from Summer in our 31 days of  Red and Green here on Mom Start. Hopefully Summer will grace us with many more green tips and steps on making our lives more eco friendly in the future. Her last tip is about buying chemical free products and these are her chemical free product selections.

Are you ready to begin the New Year? Moreover, is your house ready for the New Year? Try and make yourself greener in the New Year by purchasing products not tested on animals and chemical-free. It is ok to start off with small changes in your toiletries. You know, small changes like in your shampoo, conditioner, make-up, lotions, toothpaste, etc. are a great place to start. I’ll share with you some of my favorite chemical free products:

Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash – Trader Joe’s Refresh (for about $2 a bottle it’s a steal)

clip_image002

Lotions – St. Ives lotion

Deodorant – Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant and Tom’s of Maine (make sure there’s no antiperspirant and that it’s aluminum free)

clip_image003
Lip Balm (and Other Beauty Products) – Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
clip_image005
Diaper Cream – Burt’s Bees Diaper Cream
clip_image007
Toothpaste – Tom’s of Maine

In finding and using products like these I feel good about my body and the environment. If needed, take little steps to introduce products such as these into your home. These are products I actually use and love. Be sure, as with any new product, that you test new products on a small area of skin if you have sensitive skin or believe you may have a reaction on a product.

Thank you for joining me in my red and GREEN December 2010 adventures! Hope I gave you some great ideas that made you and yours healthier and happier. Happy New Year!
