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.
