NUXE Rêve de Thé Deodorant Review
★★★★★ A good, quality, aluminum-free deodorant can be hard to find. After first being introduced to NUXE Huile Prodigieuse® Florale and falling in love with the NUXE brand, I knew it was about time I gave the brand's only deodorant product a try. Wanna know if I liked it? Read my NUXE deodorant review below to see if this product is truly worth the hype. About NUXE NUXE is a French beauty secret that has been making waves in American beauty and skincare markets. In 1990, NUXE came from humble beginnings as a Parisian formulation laboratory founded by Aliza Jabès. Within 30 years, it transformed itself into a global, iconic brand, known for its signature oil, Huile Prodigieuse®. The brand has a series of rising bestsellers, including Huile Prodigieuse® Florale, and the 3-in-1 Hydrating Micellar Water. Shop NUXE Benefits of Using NUXE Rêve de Thé Deodorant Most aluminum-free deodorants are either a hit or a miss, there is rarely an in-between. Finding the best aluminum-free deodorant can be tricky because unlike anti-perspirants that rely on aluminum to block sweat from forming, aluminum-free deodorants lack this chemical, making their effectiveness different for everyone. Although your pores are still free to sweat when you use an aluminum-free deodorant, it aims to neutralize odor and keep you smelling fresh. Below are the benefits of selecting an aluminum-free deodorant like NUXE Rêve de Thé Deodorant: 24-hour natural odor protection - Feel confident in your deodorant's odor-fighting abilities all day. Fantastic scent - Enjoy a rejuvenating green tea scent infused with energetic notes of Rhubarb and fresh herbs.

★★★★ Once deodorant, also known as antiperspirant, is applied, many of us rely on it to ward off body odor and keep us smelling fresh and feeling confident throughout the day.

Chicken of the Sea Commercial 2024
Chicken of the Sea released a commercial promoting its new tuna packets – an old classic, but with a new twist. Speaking of classic, the canned tuna brand topped its commercial with melted layers of nostalgia taking us back to a random time in 2003 when singer and reality star, Jessica Simpson, asked this famous question, "Is it chicken or fish?" https://youtu.be/1CRAoumL61c?si=0uGkhCme71IA31es Jessica Simpson and her daughter, Maxwell, reenacted the famous pop culture moment in this Chicken of the Sea commercial for its portable tuna and salmon packets. Jessica, a busy mom and former reality star on the MTV show Newlyweds, once had a blonde moment while name-dropping the product on her show, and her little oopsie helped boost sales for the brand by 10%. As a result, it only makes sense for her to be the face of Chicken of the Sea's, "It's the One for Me Campaign," which also includes a $100,000 sweepstakes. Like the canned tuna company, Jessica Simpson has evolved her brand, or a recognizable identity of a product or service that enables it to stand out from its competitors. Now that time has passed, can Jessica distinguish the taste of chicken from a flavorful pack of Chicken of the Sea tuna? 11 years later, she corrects herself and concludes the commercial by telling viewers, "Yes people, I know it's tuna." ...
Gucci Beauty Review
Now when I hear about the Gucci brand, I immediately think of its impressive line of cosmetics. The Gucci #FloraFantasy fragrances have officially had me in a chokehold all year long. So, I figured it was time to see what other phenomenal beauty products Gucci has in store. And now I'm glad I did. Gucci beauty products have become a staple in my beauty routine. Luxury and high-definition glamour have collaborated to develop a few must-have beauty products from Gucci that make my beauty routine as easy as 1, 2, 3. Here are the three products I have fallen in love with and everything that makes them so special. 1. Hydrating Silk Priming Serum ★★★★★ A smooth face primer is the foundation of every good beauty routine. The Hydrating Silk Priming Serum from Gucci has a subtle, mild aroma, and it glides onto your skin. While I am highly impressed with this primer, there are other primers on the market that are just as effective for more than half the price. But if you're like me and Gucci cosmetics and fragrances have transformed you into a loyal brand advocate, or someone with an affinity for a brand who voluntarily promotes its products or services to an audience, you will be singing its praises once you try it out for yourself. Sold Out 2. Éternité De Beauté 24 Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation ★★★★★ Éternité De Beauté 24-Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation from Gucci looks and feels like I'm brushing on a flawless layer of new skin. If you are a dark-skinned girl, you probably already know how difficult it can be to find a foundation that matches your skin tone well. With 40 shades available, Gucci cosmetics has a variety of shades that are designed to match and blend in impressively well with darker skin tones. Unsure if you have the right foundation for your face? Try Gucci's Virtual Shade Finder to meet your match today. 3. Brume de Beauté Beauty Mist ★★★★★ Brume de Beauté Mist is a product that is silently effective, but highly addictive. Infused with immense protective and hydrating properties, this product has a lasting power of up to 48 hours. Just one spray can revitalize your skin, help set your makeup, or shield your sensitive skin from pollution. Given it can be used as a setting mist, or a primer, I find myself spraying this...
10 Best Print Ads of 2023
As we entered 2023, we were welcomed by a series of creative and memorable print advertisements to set the tone. Some ads targeted pet lovers, while others pulled at our heartstrings by incorporating a few familiar faces and hitting us with the delight of nostalgia. No matter who the target audience appeared to be, these print ads in 2023 made us smile, cry, and most importantly, they helped us continue to cultivate prosperous relationships with the brands behind them. 10. Sheba: You'll Do Anything for a Kitten Campaign Image: https://musebycl.io. Sheba's You'll Do Anything for a Kitten Campaign leads with the statistic, that 1 in 4 cat owners are allergic to cats and still can't resist. This advertisement features an adorable gray kitten and an individual who appears to be its owner, suffering from an allergic reaction to their fur baby. 9. FUSE Create: The Gingerbread House-ing Crisis Image: https://www.adsoftheworld.com/. According to Statistics Canada, the average square feet of a home in Toronto (outside of the suburbs) is 1,520 square feet and the average condo is around 840. So when Fuse created this 2023 print advertisement to bring awareness to the homelessness crisis this has created in the city, it resonated with many individuals who were struggling to keep a roof above their heads. The ad features an outdoor snapshot of a gingerbread home and several photos of its interior, and features the shocking statistic in bold red letters below: One square foot of real estate in Toronto costs roughly $1,000. 8.

IKEA: Bring on the Mess Image: https://campaignme.com/. Some ads leverage the power of visuals so well that words aren't required to get the message across. Since print ads are often provided with limited space, so stunning visuals may just be enough to boost sales. Bring On The Mess is a 2023 print ad from IKEA in collaboration with FP7 McCann, and it's a depiction of a hoarder's dream. Two sisters are centered around a compilation of stuffed animals cradling the scene. 6. Burger King: Late Breakfast Image:...
Sol de Janeiro: Delícia Drench Body Butter Review
★★★ Sol de Janeiro released a new product right in time for the holidays. Delícia Drench Body Butter is a nutty body butter distinguished by its deep purple container. Given it's the first body butter released by the brand, I had to purchase it the moment it was released on December 21, 2023, and compare it to my Sol de Janeiro favorites. Will it live up to the Sol de Janeiro name? I tried Delícia Drench by Sol de Janeiro, so you don't have to. Here's what I discovered about the brand's unique body butter product. About Sol de Janeiro Heela Yang and Camila Pierotti founded Sol de Janeiro in 2015, with a vision to develop Brazilian-style beauty products in a luxury skincare market, but with a tropical twist. In Portuguese, Sol de Janeiro translates to Sun of January — which is a special time of the year in the summer when the sun reaches its highest point. The award-winning brand is known for its Brazilian Bum Bum Cream — a cream designed to tighten skin and firm the buttocks, which are lovingly referred to as a bum bum (pronounced boom-boom) in Brazil. Sol de Janeiro is a celebration of culture, beauty, and body positivity that can be felt from the moment it touches your skin. What you should know about body butters and creams by Sol de Janeiro. Sol de Janeiro body creams range from $22 to $48 in price, depending on the size you purchase. On holidays and special occasions, a Biggie Biggie version of select Sol de Janeiro body creams is available in a larger size - 16.9 oz (500mL). Delícia Drench Body Butter is the first body butter offered by Sol de Janeiro. If you are a fan of the famous Sol de Janeiro body creams, there is one critical fact you must know before investing in its Delícia Drench product. Delícia Drench is a body butter. It is not a body cream, like the others. Personally, the beautiful fragrances infused in the brand's body butters and creams are one of my favorite parts of the Sol de Janeiro product experience. While it does get the job done, it pales in comparison to the famous Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and its scent is not as captivating as the Beija Flor-Elasti-Cream either. Read the Review Would I recommend Delícia Drench Body Butter to a friend? To be honest, Delícia Drench Body Butter is okay, but there is...
