Suave Kids Cool Ocean Blast Styling Gel {Review}

P1080393

I never would have thought that I’d be blessed with a son that has very prominent curly hair. I usually can run a brush or pick through it and it’ll just sit fine. But sometimes I like to shape things up especially when we may be out all day and I’m needing his hair to accomplish a certain look and keep up appearances. Suave Suave Kids Ocean Blast Gel is my go to whether trying to give his hair a messy or more neat and formal look.

I’m often very careful of what products I use to bathe my son or to put in his hair. He has very sensitive skin is known to have skin irritations that really bug him. One thing that prompted me to try Suave Kids Cool Ocean Blast Styling Gel is that it’s hypoallergenic, alcohol free, residue free, and dye free. We’ve had no issues at all with it and he totally loves getting his hair done!

I found this product to work wonderfully! It’s easy to apply with just a small amount. His hair holds great without being to stiff or crunchy like. I also noticed no build up or undesirable flakes. I can apply this in the morning and it keeps my sons curls all day! The gel smells fantastic too! Both my kids love the smell and it’s cool enough to work for a boy and chic enough for a girl.And for my daughter, I’ve used this in her hair to keep loose ends in when she’s wearing braids or ponytails. She has very thin hair and this keeps everything in place very well!

I stumbled across an awesome company early this year that I’m excited to share about called Twice! This company offers stylish second hand name brand apparel at 70-90% off original retail prices! I’m pleased to say that because of Twice I’ve been able to get out with the old and in with the new (even though second hand), totally revamping my wardrobe with great name brand apparel for a prices I can easily afford compared to buying at full price.

I’ve made 3 orders to date in the past two months with Twice and have been 100% satisfied with all of my purchases. An example of my savings to talk about is an outfit I picked out recently for a date out with husband which was a pair of Mid-Rise Black Skinny Jeans by Banana Republic and a Teal Dreamweight Cotton Tank Top by Express. If I purchased at the normal retail price, the outfit I chose would have cost me about $90.o0 but with Twice, the outfit only cost me $25.00 saving me 65.00 ! And that savings is something to totally brag about knowing that I got top brand clothing that will last and looks great! It’s about time this mom updated her wardrobe too!

Have I convinced you to check them out yet? Some other reasons I am happy with Twice is because they have a very nice selection of clothes and navigating the site and searching for apparel is simple to do! You can search by color, style, cut, and brand (Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Nordstrom, Express, J. Crew, and more!). If you wonder if something might not fit, be relieved that all the measurements for each items are listed with right along with it and if it comes to it, returning an item is free!

Twice offers professional photographs of all items, there are all sorts of clothing sizes from xxs and up, sizing descriptions as well as care instruction on each item, same-day shipping, 30 day full refunds, and excellent 24-hour customer service. Also, if you’re cleaning out your closet, you can send in your clothing ( they pay shipping), and they buy upfront!

If you join Twice through my link you’ll get $10.00 of your first order and if you invite your friends, and you’ll get a credit to your own account of $10 when each friend makes their first purchase (up to a max of $100). Shipping is Free on orders over $49 ($5 otherwise) and free 30-day returns.

All the items pictured in my post were purchased from Twice! Again I’m very pleased with everything and highly recommend this great company. I’m looking forward to making another order soon! Also as you can see there are clothes for any and every season available for purchase!

I highly recommend following Twice on Facebook and reading their blog! I a few weeks ago joined them on a live Friday Fashion chat and got some great advice on what types of clothes are in and what would flatter my skin tone and body type the best! Bonus was they offered all participates a 15% off coupon code too! So you totally want to be in know!
