Fragrance Sampler

Hi all,

I hope everyone is enjoying their new year.  The next product that I am going to review is not a beauty bargain, but I really love the idea behind this gift set.  For Christmas, my husband purchased for me the Sephora Favorites Fragrance Sample for Her (he bought it for $65.00).






What I love about this gift set is that there are 14 fragrances for me to sample, and the samples are a pretty good size.  I have so far sampled them all and I still have enough to use from each sample to try them a few more times.  The gift set also contains a free beauty clutch and a booklet explaining each perfume.  You also get a voucher for a 1.6-1.7 fl oz full sized perfume of your choice.  

My personal favorites are Guilty by Gucci and La Vie Est Belle by Lancome.  I haven't made my decision one which bottle I want a full sized one of!

I hope this review was helpful!

Bath & Shower Oil

Hi all,

On a recent trip to my local TJ Maxx, I visited the beauty section.  Normally when I look through these products, they are opened/broken/used... so to my delight, I was excited when I found a bath and shower oil for only $4.99 and it appeared to not have been tampered with!  It smelled amazing and I had been wanting to try a bath oil for a while, so I figured I'd give the product a try.


 
The product I purchased was: Bath & Shower Oil 06 by APOTHEKE:M.  I purchased the product for $4.99 from TJ Maxx.  Upon internet research, you can also find the product for $8.99 at Target.  I tried the oil in the shower and also in a bath.  In the shower, I applied it after washing my body and rinsed.  It left a nice smell on my skin and my skin felt very dewy after my shower.  I also poured the recommended 3 tablespoons into a bath, and the results were the same.  I was a little disappointed in the consistency of the oil... it is extremely watery and has bubbles in it (I'm not sure how oil has bubbles).  I also wanted a stronger mandarin guava smell in my bath.  While I am content with my purchase, I will probably not be buying this product again.  

Thanks peeps,

Jenn

Moisturizer Review

Hello all,

So here is my first review on a bargain product; Garnier Nutritioniste, Moisture Rescue Lightweight UV-Lotion.  


This lotion was around $7.00 at Walmart and I had a $1.00 off coupon, pretty good deal for face moisturizer!    

Now, I have extremely oily skin.  I'm not even exaggerating, after an hour of putting on my make-up, I already have to use an oil blotting paper.  So I am always very hesitant about using a daytime moisturizer.  This moisturizer is very lightweight and does not add to the oiliness of my skin.  I also like that it has an SPF 15 element.  

While I am not sure how well this product would work for someone who has dry skin, it is a nice lightweight moisturizer for my oily sisters!  

I hope everyone has a fabulous day.

Introduction

Hi all,

So this is my very first time at attempting to create a blog!  What I am hoping to achieve with this blog is to share my passion for finding the best deals and products that are cheap.  I love reading reviews on beauty products that other people do, but I often find it hard to find reviews on things that I can actually afford.  I would love to be able to purchase a $70 moisturizer, but to be honest, that is not something I can do.  My goal is to help others who want to learn about certain products and have an honest review on those products, learn what is out there, and find the coupons for getting products for a bargain!

I hope this will be successful, but you'll never know until you try!

Thanks peeps, 
Jenn
