BuzzBallz: Ready To Drink, Women-Owned Cocktail Orbs!

I don’t often branch out from my usual rum & cola, so I was excited to take on an opportunity from Smiley 360 to try something new and review BuzzBallz ready-to-drink, pre-mixed cocktails! Even more so because I’d be supporting a women-owned business in the process. They all come in at 15% ABV, with premium spirits and real fruit juice, and there are a ton of different flavors so you’re almost guaranteed to find a favorite. In addition to being super-portable, the type 1 PET plastic containers can be recycled through most curbside pickup programs. Furthermore, these also include ENSO RESTORE enzymes that help to decompose the containers more quickly in case they do find their way to a landfill.

The first flavor I tried out was Watermelon Smash, which I enjoyed outside by the fire on a cool night. I instantly tasted a warming sensation down my throat from the high alcohol content, with a taste that reminded me a bit of cough syrup, or kind of like a jolly rancher dissolved into a vat-full of alcohol! It was a little strong for me, but it’ll definitely get you buzzed in a hurry. 

On a hot Sunday afternoon we tried out two more flavors, but this time poured over ice, which really improved them in my opinion. My boyfriend and I agreed that the Tequila ’Rita was our favorite, with its cirtrus-y, sour margarita flavor. The second we tried that day, Strawberry Rum Job, was a little too sugary-sweet for my taste, but not bad overall. Later on I gave the Pineapple Passion a try, and it was quite good, but made even better by mixing in some Berry Gatorade Zero.

I have three flavors left that I want to try; Peachballz, Tea-Licious, and Ruby Red Grapefruit, the first of which is waiting in my fridge right now. BuzzBallz’ reward program is also worth mentioning; the Buzz Club is a place where you can earn chances to win some fun prizes. I spun the wheel and got enough reward points on their Spin-to-Win promotion in addition to my receipt upload for a t-shirt and an adorable little floating flamingo drink holder!

Overall, I really like these tasty little cocktails and am looking forward to trying a few more, especially since they’re so versatile with all the different ways you can enjoy them. I highly recommend giving these little orbs a try, but please enjoy responsibly!

With so many flavors to choose from, why not have a ball today! Track them down with their Store Locator.

BuzzBallz: Ready To Drink, Women-Owned Cocktail Orbs!

CELGEN MILD SUN SPF50+ / PA+++

CELGEN MILD SUN SPF50+,  PA+++  is a silky sunscreen that fills the surface of the skin smoothly without leaving behind a white cast. In addition, the soft, creamy texture helps you to spread it on your face without any irritations or stickiness whatsoever. What sets it apart is its Energy Water with uniform micro-cluster, which delivers the effective components of various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and proteins more effectively in mild sunlight.

In addition to a 50/50 split of organic and inorganic UVA and UVB blocking ingredients, green tea leaf extract is included as an antioxidant, skin-soothing, and anti-aging additive. Oryza sativa (rice) bran extract, which works as an antioxidant and provides Vitamin E, is also present in the formula. Be aware there are also five different parabens in this formula, which I know can be a deal-breaker.

In practice, I found that the formula isn’t oily or prone to separation, and it spreads easily and evenly so only a little’s needed. Once rubbed in, it looks a little glossy, but settles into a barely-there matte sheen after some time.

The instructions state to use it above makeup, but I prefer applying to skin prior to makeup and after my skincare, but it says you can carefully tap and spread on top of your finished look. As indicated, there is no white cast or cloudiness leftover, and it seems to last quite a long time in the sunny & 85 degree days we’ve had here recently.

Celgen claims it will not be erased by sweat or water (while not explicitly stating it’s waterproof), and it seems to stay on rather well. Furthermore, it has the usual sunscreen scent with a bit of added sweetness, but it’s very minimal and fades quickly.

The tube is standard and easy to use, and the vibrant orange is easy to spot in your purse or counter making it easy to find or remember to reapply within the recommended 2-hour time period! You could also use the cap as a mirror in a pinch, since it's reflective. Compared to other mid-to-high end 50SPF sunscreens, the price and portion are reasonable; not as expensive as Murad, but in the realm of Shiseido. This 50 gram tube comes in around $35, but unfortunately it’s not available via Amazon like I would hope for. Ultimately I’m happy with the performance of this sunscreen, and I would prefer an all-natural ingredient list, but I would try it again if it were easily available in the US.

BEAUTREE PLA Bubble Exfoliating Cleansing Pads

BEAUTREE’s PLA Bubble Pads are a natural and earth-friendly 5-in-1 solution for cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, brightening, and soothing the skin. PLA stands for Polylactic Acid, which is the bioplastic the pads are made from, and it’s created from 100% renewable and non-GMO corn starch. Furthermore, it’s completely compostable, so the environmental impact is minimized through the entire life cycle of each pad.

They key superfood ingredients that combine to give the pads their cleansing benefits are blueberry, oatmeal, and moringa extracts. Blueberry is a potent antioxidant and conditioner, oatmeal soaks up oils and acts as an anti-inflammatory, while moringa leaf has significant anti-aging benefits. In addition to using only eco-friendly ingredients, they’re scent-free and BEAUTREE has also completed extensive testing to ensure there’s no risk of skin irritation.

The pads are provided dry, and only require a small amount of water to activate, so they’re really convenient to store and easily portable as well despite the somewhat large container. I really appreciate the integrated pocket in each pad, which made it easy to use both sides of the pad without wasting any product on my hands. 

I had no problem working the soft side of the pad into a bubbly lather, and it definitely cleaned up my face and neck very well. I love the exfoliating side as well, as it’s easy to vary the effect by changing the pressure applied and it seems to work great for targeting the neck and decolletage areas. 

Overall, it left my skin feeling softer, gently exfoliated, clean, not dried stripped of oils. If necessary, I also think it’d be no problem to rinse them off and add some of your own cleanser if you need a bit more to finish up during your skincare routine. 

However, I did find that it’s not sufficient on its own when cleansing from a full face of makeup; you’ll almost certainly want to double-cleanse and bring the pad in after makeup removal.

All that said, BEAUTREE Cleansing Pads are very safe and effective, and the exfoliation is light enough that you could use them on a daily basis. I highly recommend them if you’re on the lookout for natural and environmentally conscious cleansers! Also, check out their BEAUTREE Blemish Calming Treatment Pads made with different ingredients like eggplant, broccoli and tomato to help combat acne!
