CVS Radiance Platinum Inside & Out #CVSradiance Giveaway

November 16, 2014 by Momstart 31 Comments

This is a partnered post, all opinions are our own.

We received a new line of vitamins and supplements, radiance PLATINUM line that are 100% preservative-free developed by CVS/pharmacy and available only at CVS stores. This new line also offers options that are gluten-free, dairy-free, Non-GMO and some are suitable for vegans and vegetarians which is great because of so many allergies out there. My sister has gone gluten free and my daughter is diary-free. The radiance PLATINUM line is really designed to help shoppers find vitamins or supplements that fit their health goals, no matter what lifestyle needs they might require or prefer. You can view the entire line here at CVS.com.

These are the vitamins and supplements we received.

Vitamin B12

Probiotics

Men’s Multivitamins

Vitamin E Oil

Melatonin

I picked these because of certain goals I have for myself and for my husband. We both need to be eating better and living healthier. We just purchased an elliptical and are going to set up a better routine for our lives. We’re not getting enough sleep or exercise. The Melatonin is for me to help me sleep and I’m going to discuss with my doctor the possibility of giving some to my son. Miles really doesn’t sleep well at night and he wakes up at 6 am no matter how he slept the night before. I want to get back into a routine of getting up at six again too so I’ll be up with him and I can use that extra time to exercise.

I’m also working to go dairy-free and the fact that these are diary-free and gluten free and easy to find at CVS instead of a specialty store is amazing. Why are we making the change? I think my whole family except for me has a sensitivity to dairy. My daughter’s sensitivity is the worst and I forget how many things have diary in them.

My husbands needs to take the vitamins, and I need some Vitamin E for my nails and hair. I love taking B12 for energy and I think I read that it might help blood flow too. And the probiotics are for digestion for me. I like taking vitamins and supplements, I really feel they help me get through my day. And if you need any help picking out vitamins for yourself try the useful tool called the Family Vitamin Center online on CVS.com.

New from Vivabox Travolo and TryFirst

November 6, 2010 by Momstart 104 Comments

tryfirst Vivabox is a unique experience for anyone. With vivabox, you purchase the box and it comes with a few themed items and then with a gift card for the recipient to finish it off by ordering things they want within that theme that you purchased for them. For example, give mom a wine tasting experience. She will receive, a Gift card for a six bottle collection of wines, book: wine’s spectator’s essentials of wine and 12 issues of “Wine Spectator” Magazine. Then she can go on and pick the wine collection of her choice at vivabox. The variety is pretty good in my opinion. TryFirst, powered by vivabox, is like all of the other Vivaboxes. They are all two gifts in one. The Try First is s a sampling of the season’s hottest perfumes and then a second gift where the receiver gets to redeem a gift card for a full bottle of their favorite scent! TryFirst is available for the holidays this year exclusively at CVS and selected Target locations nationwide and offers between 6 and 8 perfumes in one box. I received the CVS TryFirst.

TryFirst CVS sampler can include:

FOR WOMEN: White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor, Curious Britney Spears, Mariah Carey’s Luscious Pink, Britney Spears Circus Fantasy, Fantasy by Britney Spears, Britney Spears Believe, Forever Mariah Carey, M by Mariah Carey, Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills, Halston, White Shoulders, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Curve Crush, Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion, Liz Claiborne

The coupon inside was for 20.00 off of a perfume of my choice at CVS.

FOR MEN: Usher, Usher VIP, Curve, Curve Crush, Drakkar Noir, 9IX Rocawear, Paul Sebastian PS, Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion

TryFirst Target sampler can include:

FOR WOMEN: Britney Spears Circus Fantasy, Curve Crush, Fantasy Britney Spears, Forever Mariah Carey, Lucky You Lucky Brand, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor

FOR MEN: Curve, Curve Crush, 9IX Rocawear, Usher, Usher VIP, Tommy

Also, vivabox launched, Travalo, a pocket-sized perfume atomizer which would make the perfect stocking stuffer with a TryFirst gift. The must have beauty gadget for 2010 features a no mess internal refill system so you can take your favorite designer perfume on-the-go. Travalo is great for purses, gym bags, briefcases, or suitcases and has been given the all clear to go on a plane. More information coming soon!

A Vivabox is a themed gift. You pick out the theme of your choice to send to your friend and then they get to finalize the details after they get the box. Inside the box will be the samples. Here is a list of vivabox types and their prices!
