Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliner

Let me preface this post by saying this is going to be some TMI.  If TMI is not your thing I would stop reading right about now and go check out itcosmetics.com because they extended their friends and family event one more day ending today!


You're welcome.    

I joined Influenster and had the privilege of receiving my first Voxbox.
My sample contained Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners.

I was shocked.  I thought my sample would be a liner or two, not a full size bag of 20 regular liners.  But hey, I'll take it!  Reviewing liners is not something I'm going to shy away from.  As a woman, a nurse, and a graduate student pursing degrees in Midwifery and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, I know women are afraid to talk about their vaginas.  Vaginas get discharge and it can be normal.  Think of your menstrual cycle.  Your body produces more mucus when you ovulate and you can have discharge with hormonal fluctuations.  (Your vagina also produce discharge for other reasons, which sometimes require treatment, but that's not the point of this.)  A woman wants to feel clean and fresh, and pantyliners are a great way to be able to help with that without feeling like you need to throw on a funky pair of underwear because frankly I still want to be able to wear my cute bras sets from Adore Me.
These Carefree liners were absorbent enough for me to last all day and discreet enough for me to throw in my Ipsy beauty bag to have on hand.

Prior to trying the Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners I was using U by Kotex Barely There Panty Liners that claimed to be the thinnest of them all.  The U by Kotex do not seem to stay in place as well as these Carefree liners and are definitely not as absorbent.  I actually prefer (gasp) these Carefree liners even though they are thicker than the U by Kotex.  I guess size does matter...go figure.  They are a great product and I will definitely use the Carefree liners in the future.

And while I have not tried them I just wanted to mention that Carefree Acti-Fresh Body Shape Pantiliners also come in thin, long, extra long, and thong.  My review is on the regular size liners, which I tried out with thong underwear and they fit just fine.

Note: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  My review of this product, however, is my opinion after my own testing of this product.

It Cosmetics Friends and Family Event - Save 25%

Guess what day it is?  Guess what day it is!?  Not hump day.  Even better.  It's that time of year where It Cosmetics decides to bless us with their Friends & Family Event.  It Cosmetics is probably my overall favorite beauty brand.  Almost every product I buy I like and they continue to improve upon their products.  Their mascaras and eyebrow products get better with each new launch.  It Cosmetics is truly innovative and high tech makeup.

The first two rows are my tried and true every day products in the colors I wear (if applicable).  The last row features products I'm purchasing with 25% sale event.
Row 1, from left to right: Vitality Lip Flush in Je Ne Sais Quoi (favorite lip product ever), Celebration Foundation in Light Medium or Medium-Beige, Heavenly Luxe Complexion Brush #7, CC+ Radiance Palette
Row 2, from left to right: YLBB Your Lips But Better Waterproof Lip Liner Stain in Buff Nude, CC+ Radiance Ombre Blush, Brow Power Waterproof Perfector in Blonde, Hello Lashes Extensions, Bye Bye Under Eye Anti-Aging Concealer in Neutral Medium
Row 3, from left to right: CC+ Radiance Vitality Brightening Creme Disc, Heavenly Luxe Build-A-Brow Brush #12, Build-A-Brow in Blonde (I'm really excited about the Build-A-Brow)

Before I even knew of the Friends & Family Event I posted a selfie on Instagram giving some love to It Cosmetics.  Random?  I think not.  My everyday work look takes less than 5 minutes and all makeup products I'm wearing in the picture below are from It Cosmetics as featured above.
