Disclosure: I received beauty products from Meijer to help promote the Meijer Beauty Department. All opinions expressed are my own.

Of all the partnerships I have had the opportunity to participate in, my favorite is with the Meijer Beauty Department. They always challenge me to get out of my routine and try new things. When I received a huge box of Meijer goodies, I loved that the theme was stocking up on new beauty finds and they definitely delivered! Some of the items they sent me are definitely on the cutting edge:

My husband came home to find me squealing over the Curl Secret! I was SO excited to get this.

I first saw this on my friend Mary’s blog, Raising Dick and Jane. This thing is seriously amazing! I’ve probably shown Mary’s video to five different people already because most people haven’t even heard of the Curl Secret yet. I am planning to do my own separate review, but this is so cool it really deserves a video and I am still getting a spot set up in the new house to do it, but stay tuned. In the meantime, you can get wowed by Mary’s review – the Curl Secret will blow your mind!

Next up is Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Water Gel. I first saw this on Kerry Washington’s Instagram. Apparently she gave them out to all the girls at Scandal. How fun!

Hydro Boost includes Hyaluronic Acid which is an ingredient naturally found in skin that acts as a sponge for dry skin cells and moisturizes up to 1,000 times its weight in water. it is one of the most hydrophillic (water-loving) molecules in nature…who knew?

I have seen a ton of commercials recently for Nivea’s new In-Shower Body Lotion. The thing to remember with this is that you apply it in the shower, then you rinse it off. So it’s a little different then regular lotion.

You just have to be really careful because it might make your tub slippery. They have a few different variations: sea mineral, almond oil and shea butter.

I had fun trying on this new Cover Girl Lip Lava gloss. Mine was Oh La Lava. Definitely a great color for spring!

L’Oreal has a new line called Infallible which is made for longevity. This is important for me because I am teaching again and have long days. I need my makeup to stay on all day and night and look just as great as it did when I first put it on. The Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray helps set your look and keeps it in place all day. When you apply it you spray two sprays in an X shape.

I’m not sure what I did to deserve all these awesome goodies, but I sure had a lot of fun testing them out! What are your favorite new products for spring?
