BzzAgent #Unboxing and #ProductReview for Secret Clear Gel OUTLAST #Deodorant

This BzzAgent Unboxing and Review shares 100% of my personal opinion and experiences using this product, which was provided for free to Bzzagents.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to another BzzAgent campaign and this time I had the opportunity to try a new 'Secret' deodorant brand called OUTLAST.

BzzAgent Unboxing Product Review for Secret Clear Gel OUTLAST Deodorant
Wow! That's what I said to myself when I first read the front of this Secret deodorant bottle. 48 hours! That's a long time for a deodorant to work. It also talked about leaving no white mark residue, which is also VERY important, so I was definitely curious to try it out.

I tried the Secret Clear Gel OUTLAST deodorant with the Completely Clean scent. It had a pleasant smell when I popped open the top and the solid was indeed clear gel. After taking a shower, I applied the deodorant and could feel it creating a barrier in my armpits. It felt like my armpits were being sealed to avoid any moisture, but it wasn't sticky or anything but I could feel the barrier of protection. I had SO many things to get done, from boxing items for shipment, to yoga class, to working on editing tasks, etc, so this solid really worked when I felt myself getting anxious. I found myself checking my armpits throughout the day, after yoga class, etc, and it was still working, while I was lifting, sealing, and labeling boxes to mail. I also never noticed any white streaks on my camisoles or blouses so that's a plus.

I have used other brands of Secret in the past, so they already had a great track record with me, but I really like this deodorant. Sometimes, with other solids, I do have to reapply deodorant or sometimes wonder if I even applied any because I don't notice it there or working at all. So, I can say that it does it's job and since I did work like I was running a 48 hour marathon, I would have to say that this solid does work well under pressure. It did keep me well-protected and with my busy schedule, moving around this town, it stood up to my schedule.

Overall, I would recommend Secret Clear Gel OUTLAST deodorant. I would also purchase it again if it is reasonably priced and available in my regularly-shopped stores. Grade A

My Golden Princess Cruise #Excursion from L. A. Cetto #WineTour in Ensenada,Mexico

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose invites you to share in my Princess Cruise excursion experience to L. A. Cetto winery in Ensenada, Mexico. This particular excursion provided a nice educational tour and a wine tasting at the end to sum it all up. We were also given a bottle of wine to take home and share with our friends, family, and the loved ones. It was a 4 hour excursion, total, with a 50 minute drive both ways from the Ensenada, Mexico port to the L. A. Cetto winery. It was scenic but also entertaining with our tour guide, Roger. 

In this video below, I captured my entire experience during this excursion to give you some idea of how wine is made and enjoyed by many people all over the world. Enjoy!

Victoria's Secret Sport Influenster Unboxing & Product Review #VSSportBra (Video)

The products in this voxbox unboxing was provided by Influenster.com from Victoria's Secret and all opinions are 100% my own.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to participate in the Victoria's Secret Sport #VSSportBra Influenster Voxbox event! This time it focused on their new line of sport bras and I also received some workout pants as well. In this YouTube video you get an opportunity to see all that came inside of my Influenster Voxbox. Then you can read my product review, after wearing them, to my weekly yoga classes.

The Influenster Voxbox Unboxing for Victoria's Secret Sport

My Product Review for Victoria's Secret Sport * Sports Bra 'Incredible' * Sports Pants

Do you enjoy wearing sport bras to workout? Personally, I would rather wear a nice sports bra, instead of a traditional bra, any day. They seem to fit better, have less wiring and move with my body as I move through my day and even work out. That is also how I felt about the Victoria's Secret Sport Bra called Incredible. 

It came to me in a 34B, which was my size, so I didn't have to go to the store to replace it. The sports bra had a flower pattern that was a bit much at first glance, but then after putting it on, I was sold on it. The 'Incredible' sports bra had underwire but it was cushioned nicely on the bra and didn't feel tight or like it was swallowing my chest. That is my main problem when it comes to wearing traditional bras and the sport bras, the underwire, and being just too tight in places even though it's my correct size bra. So that was really what I was looking out for in this Victoria's Secret 'Incredible' Sports Bra. It just fit me nicely and I am seriously a happy camper. 

I also received a pair of their sports pants in a size small. They fit perfectly as well. I do weekly yoga to keep in shape mentally and physically and I was looking for workout clothes that would support me and feel comfortable in the yoga poses as well. For me, I was especially looking for a yoga pant, so they came at the perfect time as well, for my small frame and my buttocks size...lol! 

I would definitely recommend that you give their new line of sports bras and sports pants a try at your local Victoria's Secret store or just shop online at https://www.victoriassecret.com/. Grade A.

A special 'Thank You' goes to Influenster and Victoria's Secret for the experience. I will definitely purchase more in the future.❤

Silk Almond Coconut Milk Blend #Review & #BzzAgent Unboxing (Video)

Disclaimer: This is a BzzAgent Unboxing and review for Silk Blends Almond Coconut Milk. All information mentioned in this product review/unboxing, is 100% from my personal experience and opinion.

Are you a @LoveMySilk (On Twitter) Fan? If so, Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is happy to share with you another BzzAgent Unboxing AND LIVE Review



My Product Review for Silk Blends Almond Coconut Milk

Since becoming a vegetarian, I have drank my share of Silk soy milk, which I do like a lot. As a Bzzagent, having the opportunity to try Silk's Almond Coconut milk was a nice change from my usual purchase. 

I tried this milk two different ways, by glass and then on my morning cereal for 1 week, until I emptied the container. I was pleased with the taste and it's rich, thickness, in consistency. I purchased the Original and noticed that the coconut and almonds balanced each other out very nicely. I like coconut anyway, but there was an equal partnership with the two. I did find that the taste of the milk is more prominent when drank from a glass, rather than in cereal. The cereal seemed to overpower the milk and then it tasted just like regular soy milk or a plain milk, I'm used to having. 

Over the week of using this milk, I realized that I could include this milk into my regular, breakfast, routine. It was a nice change and coconut lovin good with almonds too! 

I would definitely recommend this milk to you, my friends, or anyone who has lactose intolerance or just want to enjoy a different type of milk. I will definitely purchase it again because of the taste and the price is good as well in my local Kroger store. Grade: A

BzzAgent Unboxing and #ProductReview for #Luvsome Indoor Formula Cat Food (VLog Inside)

Luvsome Indoor Formula Cat Food Review

I have 2 cat-roomies, living with me. My 4 year old cat, Sonia and my 14 year old, Theodore (Theo for short). I have to watch Theo's diet because he can gain weight fast, which causes him to breathe heavily. So, when trying Luvsome, I looked for their Indoor Formula cat food. My cats are both indoor cats and it's important to me that they get a well-balanced diet. 

It was recommended to mix some current food with the new brand of food, but I just happened to run out of their current food when the Luvsome coupons arrived in my BzzAgent kit. So, I gave both cats the Luvsome Indoor Formula cat food one morning on its own. Before I knew it, Theo was digging in and I mean eating like a mad-man. He definitely put into action the saying, "Now You See It, Now You Don't". He is definitely a fan! 

On the other hand, my 4 year old cat took a little longer, in the day, to try the new food. She did eventually come around and now eats it throughout her day. She's a slow-eater anyway though. 

Want A Coupon?
I will mail you one of each (while supplies last) of the coupons I have below for free. I have cats so that's why I only have these. Send me a request on my Contact Me form HERE or above. 

I have (3) coupons for: 

• Save $1.00 on the purchase of ONE (1) Luvsome Dry Cat Food, 3.5lb bag, any variety (Expires: September 01, 2014)
• Save $1.00 on the purchase of SEVEN (7) cans Luvsome Wet Cat Food, any variety. (Expires: September 01, 2014) -- Note: I am still trying to find this product in my Ralphs in Los Angeles, but it may be at the Kroger in your area.

California Naturel Skin Care Products #Review

Disclaimer: The skin care products mentioned in this review were provided by California Naturel for testing purposes. The opinions of each product are 100% my own. Your results and/or experiences may vary.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to personally experience the premium natural skin care products of California Naturel, a local company based in Sausalito, California. They pride themselves on using some of the purest, luxurious, and active ingredients found in nature. 

As you know, I have a pretty simple morning and night routine, so after reviewing their website and the ingredients in their skin care products, I thought that I would see if I could add anything else to my current line up of products.


The Skin Care Product Review

The overall package arrived in good shape. The items were nestled in the box very well with a shredded, green, heavy card stock. I really liked the personalized, handwritten card, sharing their enthusiasm for me reviewing their products. I found that personal touch to be very special. 






After taking an overall look at the products, in their own packaging and reading the ingredients, I decided to use the Gentle Cleansing Gel first.


The Gentle Cleansing Gel removes makeup and impurities from the face without drying the skin. 

Natural Ingredients Include: Organic Aloe Vera and Organic Soapberry

"I first noticed the smell, which was a little citrus and airy in a way, but pleasant. It was a thin-textured gel to the touch. The directions instructed me to wet my face, first, then lather my skin with the Gentle Cleansing Gel. It lathered quickly and easily on my skin. It left no soapy residue and washed away quickly as well. I left it on my face for a half of a minute, just to let it work a little more into my face. The lather began to dissolve so I decided to rinse the product off at that point. I used this product for 5 days straight to get a real sense of the product and was very pleased with it. I am actually still using it twice a day as instructed. It did not irritate my skin or dry it out so I would recommend this product for you to try as well."


The next product I used after cleaning my face, morning and night, was the Balancing Complex.


The Balancing Complex is an all natural moisturizer for combination to oily and sensitive skin types.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Argan, Borage, Olive and Jojoba oils

"On first contact with this particular moisturizer, I did notice that it was lighter to the touch. Although the ingredients share that it was made of oils, I didn't feel oily on my face after using it. It appeared to absorb evenly into my skin. I used it for 2 out of my 5 days of testing. I tend to have dry to normal skin so this was okay for me. For long-term use though, I would have to go with the other cream-based moisturizer, which seemed to satisfy my skin type better, throughout the day."


Speaking of California Naturel's cream-based moisturizer, I used it for three days of the 5 day testing after cleaning my face each time with the Gentle Cleansing Gel. It's called their Nourishing Cream.


The Nourishing Cream offers hydration, antioxidants and cell renewal, for dry to normal, and most sensitive skin types. 

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Alfalfa Extract and Olive Leaf Extract

"The cream was richer and white in color. It spread on evenly throughout the areas of my face. I could immediately see the glow and the radiance of my skin increasing even more throughout my day. I didn't wear foundation everyday, so this product was the only thing I wore to moisturize and protect my skin. I was very pleased with its performance on my skin. I would recommend this to any who has dry to normal skin because it doesn't leave you feeling greasy, but well moisturized for a full day."


The final two products I received was a lip balm SPF 8 and sunscreen SPF 30.

The Lip Balm SPF 8 protects from environmental damage, moisturizes, and provides antioxidants and SPF sunscreen protection.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Glacial Oceanic Minerals, Shea Butter, and Pomegranate Extract

"I was initially surprised by its thickness and how white it was when I rolled it onto my lips. I took my finger and continued to rub the product into my lips to blend it in. It had a light, fruity, taste, which was nice. Overall, it took some getting used to. Every time I used it during the 5 days of testing, I seemed to dab it on, then rub it in between my lips. It did create a moisturizing barrier, but it was a bit too heavy in consistency for me to use for the long-term."

The Sunscreen SPF 30 provides a non-oily, all natural experience. It protects from UVA and UVB rays and increases skin-hydration.

Some of the Natural Ingredients Include: Shea Butter, Pomegranate Extract, and Marigold Flower Extract

"This sunscreen was pretty thick to the touch and rubbed on white. I really had to rub it in to get it blended into my skin. However, once it was well-blended, it created a nice moisturizing look. On contact with the sun, while out and about, I notice that my skin was glowing and well-hydrated. This sunscreen has a similar thickness, white color, and consistency of some of its competitors. Since I have tried another brand of sunscreen recently, it was difficult for me to go back to a thicker brand of sunscreen. I appreciated the SPF 30 protection that it provided and how it protects from UVA and UVB rays, but its consistency was too thick for my liking."


Overall, my experience with California Naturel products were positive. I would definitely recommend that you try some of their products for yourself. You never know which product will be your new favorite, hot, item. All natural products are better for our skin and can only become apart of a bigger audience if we continue to use and share them with others.

Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ #Review

Disclaimer: This is a product review 100% of my own personal experience. Your results with this product may vary. 


Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose knows how that 'time of the month' for some ladies can be a nuisance, especially if you're an active mom or businesswoman. So when you have your next episode or time of the month, I suggest giving Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ with Odor Shied technology a try.

I was provided a complimentary box to test out from Influenster, just in time for my episode. How convenient! Here's my personal review of the product below:

"Now, I know that we all have different flow strengths when it comes to our monthly cycles. I, on the other hand seem to stay pretty average or Normal, so the Regular Absorbency worked for me throughout my cycle. I was already familiar with Playtex Sport Regular Light Absorbency tampons, which were also great at protecting me. So, I was okay with trying these, HOWEVER, I was a little leery of the 'light scent' on a tampon. In the end, it didn't bother me, I didn't notice the scent, and it didn't take away from the purpose of the tampon.

I do keep a busy schedule on a weekly basis, so when it is my time of the month, I depend on leakage protection and comfort in my tampon. I have to be active and alert when working with senior citizens, so the Playtex Sport Fresh Balance tampons worked well with my busy job. I tend to do a lot of moving around and having to lift and turn as well. I also like to take yoga/tai chi classes during the week, so protection is HUGE, when using a tampon. 

I would use them again and recommend them to my friends. Grade A, for comfort and protection."

You can find Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™, in your local drugstores, supermarkets and deparment stores (Walmart, Target, Kmart, etc.) -- approximate price $3.99 - $4.99

Softlips® Cube #Review

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose was invited to the SpringVoxBox event through Influenster and I am happy to do a review of the Softlips Cube that I received in the box of goodies. I never knew of this product before trying it out currently. I really enjoy using this product. 


The Softlips Cube provides a lip protectant/sunscreen SPF 15 for your lips, so not only are you getting that moisture for your lips, but you are getting some protection from the harmful sun rays. 

This product really came in handy when I was out of town, in Las Vegas, because it was pretty warm and the wind was dry, which made my lips dry as well. When I didn't use a lip gloss, I pulled out this product. I did also find myself using the cube a little more. 

I do like how easy it fits into my purse and it just glides on my lips nice and smooth. I would give this product a grade of an A. 



Go out and get the Softlips Cube to try! (Cost: $3.49 - $4.00 depending on if you get it on their website or in your local drug store)

Here's my YouTube Video Review for Softlips® Cube

About The Lego Movie

The LEGO® Movie, the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller is an original 3D computer animated story that follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. 

Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an erudite, anal-retentive CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken) voices the president's powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet. 

Starring as Emmet's fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), as tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, 30 Rock), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Lucy shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC's Parks and Recreation) as a craggy, swaggering pirate, obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Alison Brie (Community) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret.

Product Reviews for #SpringFlingVoxBox Items
$5.99 The Rimmel London Retro Glam Mascara is really nice as well. Its mascara applicator is fat and curvy, which helps to extend my lashes, but also keeps my lashes from clumping. I would recommend putting on more than one coat for a richer eye look.

$2.49 for 2.5oz / $10.99 for 13.5oz. 
This lotion is SO good. It keeps my skin moisturized and I would continue to use this for its hydration. As far as the skin firming part of the product, I would have to use it for some time to see the skin firming results. I did notice that it said you should begin to see a difference within as little as 2 weeks, so I will see how it goes as I finish the bottle. 

$6.49
I gave them a try on my weekend business trip and they lasted the entire trip and I'm still wearing them into my week now. The little white tabs on the ends of them, makes it easier to apply. There's a lot less interaction with the nail glue when using the white tabs. They seal down quickly and I liked that they provide a manicure stick so I could oval-shape them to my natural nails. I received nice comments about them and about how they looked very natural on me.

The Labor Day car refreshener lasted through the weekend as far as the scent goes. It was pleasant to smell on my roadtrip.
I am looking forward to watching Labor Day real soon.

$3.99 - $4.99 I have tried Playtex Sport tampons before and they have been great with providing protection, during my time of the month. I don't usually use scented products, but after trying these tampons, I see that it didn't have any effect on me. They still did their job and it never crossed my mind that they were scented. I would definitely use them again. I move around a lot, so protection, during my time of the month is VERY important. 

$3.49 I absolutely LOVE this softlips cube. It leaves my lips moisturized and I can feel this cool sensation on my lips every time I use it. I know that it's working. I like how the product is displayed in the cube. It rolls on smooth and easy. I don't have to roll it up inside the cube. I got a wind burn on my lips, while I was in Las Vegas, and I started using the Softlips cube - Lip protectant/Sunscreen. It has relieved that dry feeling on my lips and there's no more windburn. I will buy this again, once I use this one up.
