Anti-Viral and Lotion Kleenex Brand Tissues Review

Before I left for my holiday break, I received a package from +Crowdtap and +Kleenex® Brand that included:
  • 1 Sampling insert
  • 1 box of Kleenex brand tissues with Lotion (Aloe & E)
  • 1 box of Anti-viral Kleenex brand tissues  

I am a long time user of Keenex brand tissues so I am excited to share with  my readers my review of these awesome tissues AND a coupon too!!

The coupon can be found HERE.


I’m a member of the Crowdtap Kleenex Brand® rewards program, and Kleenex® Brand sent me this product to review.
 

Anti-viral Kleenex brand tissues


I was a bit scared to use these tissues at first. Being anti-viral is a great thing but when I hear those words, I immediately think of hand sanitizer and how it dries out my skin. I want to kill the germs but my nose is already sensitive from blowing it all the time that I don't to make it worse! Luckily my fears were unfounded and these tissues didn't bother my nose a bit but kept my germs locked inside. 

The tissues do have a slightly medical scent to them and if you look closely you can see small blue dots on the tissue which I can only assume is the anti-viral that locks in your germs. The tissue is three ply and the middle one is most important as it contains the moisture activating 99.9% killer of viruses!

The Kleenex brand in general has always been high quality. These new Anti-viral tissues are effective at stopping the spread of virus especially the flu. In the future when any of my family gets sick this is the variety of Kleenex we will be running to.


Kleenex brand tissues with Lotion (Aloe & E)

I have been using Kleenex brand tissues with lotion for as long as I can remember. I love how soft they are and gentle on your nose.

I have used lotion tissues from other brands that left my nose feeling greasy but the Kleenex brand tissues have just the right amount of lotion on them.

My Instagram
I made this tea today because I was cold, the best time for tea. Plus the Candy Cane Lane flavor is the perfect one for this time of year! I think I have a new go to Christmas tea now! I just love this flavor! It's not just a strong and overpowering peppermint like a lot of mint teas are. It is a sweet peppermint flavor with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. This tea does not need sweetening and still tastes just like a candy cane! Because it is a decaf tea, I can drink it all day long without feeling too wired to sleep later in the evening.

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. Join me on Influenster to get products to review yourself!

My Review

First off, the product I received was the 15oz sample size and is not the same size as the normal bottle. It is not the exact item shown on the Amazon page.

They advertise that a little goes a long way but I found I had to apply more than the dime-sized amount recommended on the package. It didn't even leave my face feeling soft. I wound up needing to use my normal moisturizer on top of this product. Not impressed.


The company makes some VERY bold claims about this product and how well it works but I saw no change in using this product over the past few weeks. Seems like a lot of money to spend on something that doesn't work.

My Instagram
I have been using Yacon Syrup in my coffee and tea recently and I love it! This product is similar to the other Yacon Syrup that I recently reviewed however this one is 100% pure and doesn't smell as good. The other Yacon Syrup products I have reviewed smelled like molasses. Not this one. This one smells bitter and doesn't do as much in sweetening my coffee.

I do really like the other effects that this product offers though such as: reducing cravings, constipation and digestive distress. It is also high in soluble fiber leaving you feeling relieved, light and energized. It is a great alternative to artificial sweeteners and there's no icky aftertaste.

My Review

My Instagram
I already love this Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil. I love the large size of the bottle and I'm pretty sure I will never use it all, well maybe in a year or two! Most essential oils come in tiny 10 ml bottles, but this 4 fl. oz. bottle is big! Such a good value given the size of the bottle! The oil itself is great too, peppermint is my favorite of the essential oils plus this is 100% pure and natural.

There are so many uses to this product too! I get a lot of headaches from looking at a computer all day and this essential oil is my go to cure now! Plus I have friends who use it as a toothpaste - mixing coconut oil and a few drops of this peppermint oil. Dry, itchy scalp? Put a few drops in your hand and run them over your scalp. Wait a few hours and wash it out.

My Review

No matter how old or young you are, there is always something out of reach. Whether something is up high and you're short or down low and you have trouble bending. This product helps!

I am five foot three which isn't that short but I often have trouble reaching items on shelves in my apartment. Since receiving the Reach it Grab it, I have been able to reach everything I need!

I'm one of these people that keep a step ladder in my apartment because I am always struggling to get things down from high places. Either that or I have to climb on my counters. I have saved myself a step with the Reach it Grab it. It stores in a much narrower location and I don't need to lug out my step ladder each time I need to grab something.

I wouldn't trust this product to pick up heavy items. The image included of me using the Reach it Grab it to get a full sized air mattress off a high shelf was me just moving the air mattress to a level where I could use my other hand to get it down. I do not recommend trying to get heavy items from a shelf above your head because there is a chance that it could fall and injure you.

My Review

My Instagram
I have been using Argan oil in my hair for more than a year now and have recommended it to many people. I love what it does for my hair. I apply a quarter sized amount to my hair after each shower and when I wake up my hair is soft. How easy?!


I have been using Ogx Extra Penetrating Oil for dry and coarse hair. I love how it smells the most and I never need to wear perfume because my hair always smells so great! I think that's my main qualm with the Pure Body Naturals Pure Argan oil, it doesn't smell good. It actually smells kind of bad. While it works amazingly, it just doesn't have that same delicious smell.

The winter always seems to be the time when my hair and skin are the driest. I have naturally wavy hair that can never be hydrated enough though. By using Argan oil products I have noticed less frizz and my hair isn't being weighed down with all kinds of products.
