Product Review: Garnier Fructis

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge & Triple Nutrition Dry Oil

Not many people know this but I am a BzzAgent. Pretty much I signed up (for free) took a lot of surveys and companies send me free products. It took me about three months to get my first product which was Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream. I got it around the time that Curt and I got married so it kind of got lost in the mix. About a month ago I was asked to be in three different campaigns. For a campaign, BzzAgent.com will send you an email which invites you to a campaign. A campaign is just where you try a product then spread the word about whether you like it or not. You don’t have to do a campaign if you don’t like the product or you don’t think it’s for you. I signed up because 1. I deal with marketing and this stuff interests me and 2. ITS FREE STUFF.

So as I said, last month I got invited to 3 different campaigns. The first one was for the book I recently wrote about which was Contagious: Why Things Catch on by Jonah Berger. I got a free book and it was awesome. If you still haven’t read it seriously it is good. Two other products I have gotten are Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil and Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge shampoo, conditioner, and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. These are just trial sizes. I got the normal size s of these products. For example, the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Shampoo is 25.4 ounces. Let’s just say I was pumped! Yeah they are drugstore products which aren’t the best but still. Curt checked at work and found out that the shampoo, conditioner, and treatment were like $15. That doesn’t include the oil which was probably like $6. Now onto my reviews…

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil Review 

This oil is okay. I was excited about it because it is for skin, face, and hair. I have those bumps on my upper arms which has some technical name that I can’t remember. Pretty much is it is just these little soft hairs that can’t push through my skin because it’s too tough. I thought this oil may help because lotion doesn’t do much unless I put it on morning and night (which I never remember to do). So the oil was a fail on my skin. It smells like suntan oil and doesn’t really soak in like they say it will. I tried it on my face a little but let’s face it…it’s oil and the last thing I need on my facial skin is more oil. BUT I did try it on my hair as well. I actually enjoy it on my hair. I noticed that it does help with the frizz which is awesome because I hate when my hair frizzes. It doesn’t take much just 3 or 4 pumps of oil. I do recommend spraying it into your palm and then putting it on your hair. Otherwise, you will have parts of your hair be smooth, some places that look oily, and other parts that are dry. I found that out the hard way. So if you’re looking for a way to help tame your frizzy hair this product is pretty decent at it. If you find it on sale or don’t mind paying the full price I’d recommend trying it. You never know what your hair will like until you try it.

 

Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge Review

 

My campaign for this product came with the full size shampoo, conditioner, and 1-minute treatment. Like I said before I’m not a fan of drugstore shampoos and conditioners because I know they aren’t that good for your hair. I will say that this product is pretty awesome! I could definitely tell that my hair was smoother and silkier. I could also tell that it didn’t feel weighed down like some products will do. It smells fantastic as well. I could tell this after the first wash which amazed me. The shampoo actually has microbeads and is clear (it may have a blue/green tint – I just can’t remember right now) both things make it unique as well. That may be how they give my hair the smoothness without all the weight. They have this leave-in whip which I think is foam that I want to try too. I wish I could have gotten that in my campaign but I can’t complain about what I received. Overall with this product it is a definite try.

If you think you’d be interested in being a BzzAgent just let me know. I will send you an invite to join. It’s easy but you can’t just get free stuff and do nothing. The point is to write blogs, post it on Facebook (which I need to do more of), write reviews, etc. It also took me almost 6 months to get invited to these 3 recent campaigns. It all depends on if you’re a fit for the products that companies are testing right now.
