My PinchMe Reviews

DISCLAIMER: I received these products for free from PinchMe. All opinions are my own, and I wasn't paid to share them.




I finally finished testing out the samples I received in my first free PinchMe box, and I figured I should post my reviews here to flesh out this blog a little more. I didn't take any more pictures after the first one, so this might look a little wordy. I'll have to remember to take more when I get my next box.


My review of Dove's Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner:

         I really liked how soft this made my hair feel. It didn't leave my hair feeling "squeaky" clean (a.k.a overly dry) and it didn't weigh it down either. It had a nice, delicate scent that wasn't overpowering. My favorite aspect about the product is that the conditioner felt like it actually soaked into my hair instead of just sitting on top of it like so many other conditioners do. Because of that, I could tell my hair was actually soaking up the moisture, which is great. I was very pleased with Dove's Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, so I will definitely be buying full size bottles after I run out of the shampoo and conditioner I already have. (Five Stars)



My review of  Milk-Bone Brushing Chews:

        I don't normally give my dog treats, so when I offered her the Milk-Bone Brushing Chews treat, she devoured it in minutes. On the one hand, that's great because it means she obviously loved it. But on the other hand - as other reviewers have pointed out - I don't know if it made much difference in terms of dental health and cleanliness. Still, she enjoyed it and it made me happy to see my old dog so happy about getting a treat. However, I'm only giving it three stars because the ingredient list is filled with preservatives, food coloring, and other things like chicken by-product. I'd rather play it safe and brush her teeth myself and give her apple slices and baby carrots as a way to clean her teeth and curb bad breath. (Three Stars)

My review of Sinful Colors Nail Polish:

        I love Sinful Colors and own quite a few of their polishes. They're inexpensive, but the quality is just as good or sometimes even better than the nail polishes that cost more. That is very appealing to me because it means I can get a whole bunch of new polishes without breaking the bank (and Sinful Colors has a HUGE range of colors, which is awesome.) For some of the colors, you do have to apply more than two coats, but the polish dries fast and lasts long so it's not a bother. I only rating it four stars, however, because I am a fan of Sinful Colors in general, but I wasn't very fond of the sample color I received (Open Seas.) (Four Stars)



Even though I've only just gotten my first free box, I'm already enjoying PinchMe very much. Getting deluxe or full-sized samples for free in exchange for filling out a feedback survey with my honest opinions is a pretty sweet deal. It can be a bit of a pain to order the samples when they release new ones though. So many people try to access the site at once to order samples and that can slow the site way down or even break it. But I haven't had any problems ordering myself, so it's not too big of an issue for me. I was able to get two more samples on the last sample day (June 24th) and I cannot wait to get it! Next sample day is July 15th at 12 pm and I know I'll be waiting patiently to order more free samples!
