Pinypon Review and Giveaway

by Nicole on May 16, 2012

Name of Product: Pinypon

Where to Buy:  at Toys R Us and Target

Price of Product:  $2.99 for the mini doll to $29.99 for the hotel

Description of Product: “Pinypon, a whole new world of creative play featuring collectible and customizable mini-dolls, pets, play sets and vehicles, makes its U.S. debut after unprecedented success abroad. This colorful collection of interchangeable friends was developed by Famosa, a leading European toy company with a well-established reputation for developing high-quality dolls with engaging and unique features. Pinypon also marks Famosa’s official entry into the U.S. market, with plans to introduce additional brands later this year.

With Pinypon, girls can swap outfits, accessories, hairstyles and even faces to create their own special friend. The more dolls, the more characters girls can create for hours of imaginative, fun and engaging play time. The distinctive play pattern not only enables girls to dress Pinypon using fashionable clothing, but they can spin the head around for an alternative personality. Girls can also store the accessories inside the doll to avoid any lost pieces.

For an added interactive experience, girls can log onto www.pinypon.com and engage with the online Pinypon games, puzzles and coloring books.”

Review of Product:  My adorable niece Avery got to try the Pinypon dolls and hotel out and as you can see from the picture in this post she LOVED them! My sister in law said they were sturdy and that Avery has played for hours with the set! The interactive website really makes playing with the dolls and hotel fun and this is a toy she keeps coming back to which we all know is rare with toys these days! There is a parents zone on the website

Make sure to print off this coupon so you can get $2 off the Pinypon Caravan and Buy 2 figures and get the third free! The coupons are only good through June 30, 2012 so get shopping!

Giveaway: The folks at Pinypon have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader 2 mini dolls and the hotel set!

Name of Product: TWIST-IT and Bugables

Where to Buy:  at more than 10,000 retail outlets nationwide, including Walmart, Walgreens, Toys R Us, and Bed Bath and Beyond

Price of Product:  TWIST-IT for $5.99, Bugables for $3.99

Description of Product: “According to the National Pest Management Association, an unseasonably warm winter is expected to bring bugs and pests out of hibernation early this year, meaning we’re in store for prolonged mosquito season. Rather than turning to toxic bug sprays to fight against mosquito-borne viruses like West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), Mom’s everywhere can count on PIC® to help protect their families from dangerous mosquito bites with two unique products that provide maximum protection with all-natural ingredients that don’t need to be applied to skin.

TWIST-IT® is a new flexible device that repels mosquitos by wrapping around essential summer items such as umbrellas, beach chairs and strollers. TWIST-IT® is great for family picnics or backyard fun without the presence of irritating mosquitoes and for those who are wary of applying toxic repellent chemicals to skin. TWIST-IT® keeps mosquitos away in a ten foot radius for up to 200 hours.

Bugables® Mosquito Repellent Stickers are perfect for kids and can be adhered to items including hats and clothing. Bugables® work by emitting an ‘aura ‘of all natural, plant-based essential oils, masking human odors that attract insects. Containing 100% all-natural repellents, Bugables® are sold in fun shapes and colors, and are perfect for parents who want to protect their children from the harmful toxins like DEET in conventional mosquito repellents. Bugables® last for up to 72 hours and are reusable.”

Review of Product:  We have some really big mosquitoes in south Florida and these great products are helping us get through this rainy season where the mosquitoes reign! TWIST-ITs are so neat and to me much easier and safer than lighting a citronella candle.  You just wrap the TWIST-IT around a chair, umbrella or even stroller! You just wrap it around and enjoy your mosquito-free evening! The Bugables are fun stickers for kids that you can attach to a hat or clothing.  They are all-natural and come in all kinds of  kid-friendly shapes and sizes!

Giveaway: The folks at PIC have generously decided to give three (3) lucky Nicole’s Nickels readers each their own set of Bugables and TWIST-IT products!

Review of Product:  I was able to try the Oral-B ProfessionalCare 3000 toothbrush this past month.  I usually use a manual toothbrush but at times have used electric toothbrushes like this one.  I really like this model and will continue to use it in the future! My favorite part is that it stops when you brush too hard which I am guilty of frequently.  This toothbrush really helps me take better care of my teeth!

Giveaway: The folks at Oral-B have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader their own Oral-B ProfessionalCare 3000!

Name of Product: P&G Spring Cleaning Beauty Revamp

Where to Buy:  at retailers nationwide

Price of Product:  affordable!

Description of Product: “Spring has sprung, which means cleaning is on everyone’s mind! Remember that spring cleaning doesn’t just apply to fashion. Take time this year to give your vanity some TLC too!

Here are some tips for you!

1. Try multi-purpose products to save room in your closet and time in your beauty routine.

a. COVERGIRL Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation combines the best in COVERGIRL and Olay providing luminous coverage to create youthful, radiant skin. One pump instantly covers fine lines, discolorations and wrinkles while just one bottle helps to improve skin tone over time.

2. Multi-purpose doesn’t just mean two-in-one. Consider alternative uses for your favorites.

a. Secret Outlast – this year’s newest product from trusted brand Secret – offers dual action odor protection, keeping your underarms dry for up to 48 hours! Designed to work in even the most hot, humid and stressful situations, this product takes you with ease from spring cleaning to the summer beaches

b. Dropped your favorite brush on a not so clean floor? Pull out the hand sanitizer and give the brush a good dousing. Hand sanitizer is meant to evaporate fast and will disinfect your brush in the process.

3. Use products that work at the vanity and on-the-go

a. Olay 2-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths deliver powerful cleansing in one easy step. These purse-sized wipes contain soap-free cleansers to remove dirt, oil and makeup while still conditioning skin with essential Olay moisture. Take these cloths to the beach for easy removal of waxy sunscreen and self-tanners on hands and skin.

4. Use floral scents to embrace warmer weather and feel fun and fresh. Strong and spicier scents synonymous with chillier temperatures can magnify on skin in warmer weather. Instead of going for another perfume this summer, utilize a floral or tropical scented body lotion and clean, fresh smelling shampoo and conditioner. The softer fragrance will keep you feeling breezy and clean.

a. Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner’s pink lily and Asian silk fusion scent will instantly make you feel ready for beautiful spring weather. In addition to great scent, the shampoo works to smooth hair while the conditioner moisturizes to leave hair hydrated and silky.

b. Deep condition in the summertime while you play outdoors! When heading outdoors apply conditioner to damp hair midway through to the ends. Then Braid hair or pin it close to head. Leave it in your hair for a sunny conditioning treatment and then rinse at night for salon-worthy hair.

5. Find a method of organization that works for you

a. Clear, accessible bins are a great way to store makeup and skincare items so that you’re can keep track of what you have while still being efficient with space.

b. Plastic baggies can also be a cheap and easy storage saver for smaller items and when on the go.”

Review of Product:  You all know I love my P&G products! Their beauty line is no different and I am a regular user of many of their products.  I love to try the new products and was thrilled to try the Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth and the CoverGirl Tone Rehab foundation.  I liked all of the products provided and LOVE the Secret Outlast deodorant.  I am using the Touchably Smooth shampoo and conditioner and it is leaving my hair very soft and manageable which is  great especially since the Florida sun is really heating up now! I trust P&G products – I trust giving them to my family and using them on myself!

Giveaway: The folks at P&G have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader a package containing each of the products featured in this post!
