Target Beauty Bag: the 2nd best thing I've gotten!

I received the 2nd best thing in the mail a couple of days ago. 2nd because the first best thing I ever got, specially from the samples department, was the P&G BrandSaver pack I received, where I got one of the best shampoos ever! I also liked it because I thought it was well sorted. A few days ago though, I received a box that looked like this:                          
                                                                              " Beauty for every body."

And those surrounding those words are little Target signs every where, all over the box. I was trying to remember what I had ordered from Target and it didn't hit me until I opened the box. Then, it was when I found this:




That, to the right, is a Target beauty bag they were giving out as free samples! I never knew what they were actually giving out and what the bags contained, but I was really happy when I opened it. For one, I LOVE the bag. (I needed a much smaller cosmetics bag and this one was free and looks of good quality...) Second, it was filled with goodies!
So, upon opening it, I found these:

•  The first little bottle is for Neutrogena Visibly Bright. This product is a daily wash that is supposed to "transform dull, tired skin to visibly bright and   refreshed." It is a 0.5 fl. oz. bottle. 
• The second bottle is Nivea Extended Moisture Hand Creme. It is a 1.5 fl. oz. bottle. It really does leave your hands feeling soft.
• The third and last bottle that is shown is a sample of Pantene;s Color Preserve- Volume Shampoo. I love Pantene. (I think I've already said it a lot of times and how I fell in love with their Aqua Light Shampoo.) Like I mentioned in my previous post, I don't die my hair, but my mom does, so maybe she'll like it. 

The item that was taking much of the space was the

packet to the right. These are Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. It is a little packet that comes with an 8 count of wipes. I actually used one of these and it really removed all of my make up without making it hard for me or having me to keep scraping at my face for my water proof mascara to be removed. It was gentle and seemed to not have done harm to my skin. I also went to CVS and noticed that these wipes and the Refreshing Facial Wash Gel are sold for $2.99 each. But I didn't have to pay for both of them; I received both of them for free! 

(The wipes I actually kept in my Target bag, now my cosmetic bag, along with the Nivea hand lotion, a hand sanitizer bottle, my eye curler, mascara, eye liner, compact mirror and small comb.)

     This is actually the last sample that was given away in the beauty bag. It is a L'Oreal Magic Lumi Primer. I don't really use foundation, or anything on my skin. The only real make up I use is eyeliner and mascara. Honestly, I don't even know much about this product, so I have to do much more research. 

   And last but not least, the last thing that came along with all these samples. The little picture shown is actually a coupons booklet. And, in the first page, $2 off my favorite mascara! Of course I will use!

     I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I didn't write of anymore products because I didn't want it to get too lengthy, and it helps to be able to write more on my next blog!

Astroglide, Tums, cloSYS, Fekkai

I feel weird because I have not been writing for a good while. I wish I could hurry the samples, but I can't. Today I received 3 in a single day, which has not been happening too often. I was able to save a few samples over the past few weeks, enough for me to write a well written blog. I hope you guys enjoy this one.

     I'm going to start with probably a rather controversial sample for some people. I had to give it a try because I wanted to know if the company was really serious in sending these samples. I still have to wait for what they could and should be used with: condoms. But more on that later on. The sample I got was this:
Yup. This is Astroglide's All Natural Personal Lubricant. REMEMBER: Practice safe sex. This is parable with condoms, so if you want to try something new, I'm guessing this is a good product.
     What a way to break the ice, huh? Well, in that case, let's keep moving on to the next product!

     This little packet contains two Tums Freshers antacid and fresh breath tablets. I haven't tried these yet, mainly because I don't suffer from heartburn; at least, I don't think I do. In any case, it's a good thing to keep around just in case people are not feeling all that well with the food they ate.
     Now, these Freshers are supposed to also refresh your breath, not only soothe or help you heartburn. They come in mint flavor. But another product that I got in the mail was this one:
cloSYS mouthwash. From what I read in the packet sample, it contains no alcohol, so you do not get the

burning sensation you get with other mouth wash. It also eliminates bad breath germs and protects from them for about 8 hours. Who does not want both of those things, right?! I honestly want to try it as soon as possible, but right now I'm content with the Scope mouthwash we purchased not too long ago. I will let you know what I think about it as soon as I give it a try. Now that I think about it, it's a new month, so why not try something new, right?! By the way, I have to mention that I love the size of this sample! It's a 3.4 fl. oz. bottle which feels like it will last a good while. It comes in a none taste formula and from what I read, if and when you purchase the product, it might come with a some flavoring tasting of mint. So you can opt for a none taste or mint taste. However you want it, that's the way you need it, anyway you want it... (Get it? I made a Journey reference. That and I was watching the commercial for State Farm and well, it fit. That and you can "Have it your way." But that is already taken by Burger King.)

 
     This up above, is a sample for Fekkai Technician Hair Color. I don't die my hair, but I obviously know someone who does. Either way, I still ordered the sample and this one came from Costco. (Just to let you guys know starting from right now, if I ever post samples that you could get from Costco, you might notice that in the form, Costco asks you for your membership number. If you have one, go ahead and use it! But if you're like me who's either never been to Costco or just doesn't have a membership number, use any random 12 numbers starting with a "1".) I was reading some reviews for it. I read from a couple of people that if you have thin hair, the product will leave it without volume. It gives great shine and smells great. Some people loved it, some liked it, others did not.

     Now, these pills I ordered from a vitamin company named Swanson Health Products. The only reason I was able to was because I had read about how to get them for little of no cost from another sample website. The company was giving away $5 worth of a coupon after liking their page and using a promo code, they would take I believe 15% off and give free shipping with any order as long as both or just the promo code were used. The sample site where I had gotten the little "loop" from said to add something of $2.99 or less of value to my cart and that adding the coupon plus the promo code would guarantee a free order. Sure enough, when I placed the order, I owed nothing but a mere $0.64, which was almost nothing. These pills are for the heart and I actually got them from the "Buy one, get one free" tab. I have not tried the pills yet, but I will soon do so. I guess that the company caught on to what was going on because a day after I had placed my order, they said that these (coupon and promo code) and their effectiveness were only to be placed on orders $25 and higher, but that orders that had already been placed using these were going to be honored, so in the end, I still owed only $0.64. Yay!
     I hope you guys enjoyed this post and another new one is sure to be posted in the following days. Stay tuned! And remember to visit my Facebook page and "Like" it! Share this with other friends and help me spread the word, yeah?

Lipton: Tea & Honey/ Burt's Bees: GUD lotion

I don't know if it's because of the weather, or there are just delays on the arrival of the samples, but the ones that are suppose to be arriving at home are taking a very long time to get here. I try to let there be time between posts so that I have something to say about every week, but these samples are just not getting here on time! Any who, I thought I'd let you in on the latest samples I got. But first, to let you guys know which ones of the previous samples I used and tried.

     As I had previously stated, I had received a travel sized samples of Pantene Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner and loved it. So, about 2 weeks ago I decided to buy myself the actual product and I am finally in love with a shampoo! My hair does not feel puffy, does not feel greasy or weighed down, is always really soft, doesn't really get tangled, or feel dry. It is always shiny and the way it smells is just, oh, too good in my opinion. I usually take my showers as soon as I wake up. Lately I've been putting up my hair in a pony tail when I go to sleep, but I mostly leave it loose, but no matter what way I have it, the smell of the shampoo is still usually there in the mornings when I wake up! Freshness that lasts a whole day!
     I have oily skin, which I hate. I feel it is and looks nasty. Not that I'm oozing the stuff, it's just that if there is a really nice, bright day and I go out, I feel like my face is mirroring the shine off of the sun and feel everyone is looking. The feeling is about the same sometimes when I wake up in the morning. This one day in particular, I remembered I had received a sample for Simple Refreshing Facial wash and decided to bring it in the shower with me. I took my shower, but before being done, I used Simple. Honestly, I thought at first it was going to leave my skin oily yet again or later on, but when I used it, my skin felt a tash bit firmer, but soft, not dry, but not oily either. I was surprised and skeptical at first, but to me, it seemed to work on the first try. Just to play it on the safe side though, I have only used the product two times, because I kind of broke out a bit around my face and upon reading some reviews for it, some women said this occurred to them as well, so I just thought I'd stop it before it broke me out. Honestly, I started breaking out the day before yesterday, and before those days, I had not used Simple, so I do not know if to attribute it to the product or not, but like I said, I'm still going to play it safe and I will just use it when I know or feel I have to use it. Otherwise, a really good product that will leave your face feeling really, really smooth!
     Last, but not least, this:

  

That, I am holding, is a Kleenex share pack I received in the mail about a week or so ago. It was from my boyfriend and well, me loving the little things in life, was so surprised and loved it! It came along with a really cute note, but I was honestly surprised because I did not know it was from him when my mom first gave it to me. When did he send it? I don't know. Maybe a day he was using my computer and I was watching tv thinking he was playing? Oh, he's good! I let him know I had gotten my delivery and now, we both shared a gift. Cheap, but who cares! It's useful and handy!

     Okay, so now to the samples I have recently received! 

     This is the sample I received for Lipton Tea & Honey Mango Pineapple to go drink mix. The top is one of the cover folds, the upper right picture is the sample packet, and to the right is a $0.50 coupon to use on my purchase of the drink mix. The cover where the sample arrived gives you information about the ingredients the company uses and how it is beneficial. I have not yet tried the sample, mainly because I am waiting for the right time of the year to use it. You know, for when it gets all sunny and hot. Maybe I will enjoy it with some ice, a sandwich, and maybe a mango? I don't know, but when I do, I will write it all down here for you guys.

     The other sample I received in the mail was Gud Body Lotion sample by Burt's Bees:

This is from one of the covers of the cover the sample came in, if that makes any sense. Any way, right here they pretty much list most of their products. I received lotion, but they also have shampoos, body wash, body mists, and even hand soap! Sounds all good, specially if you want to smell good, and let me tell you, it really does smell good.

How do I know this product smells good? First of all, my hands are usually not dry, but sometimes after washing some dishes and then coming as soon as I can to the computer, my hands start feeling wrinkly and dry. To tell you the truth, even before writing this blog I applied a bit of the lotion to my hands. At first, I thought my hands were going to be left with a sticky like residue, but that quickly went away, followed by hours of great smell. As you can see to the left, I got the Floral Cherrynova sample and it smelled really, really good. It was not strong nor light. It just lasted! And I can still smell it! It left my hands feeling really smooth, so maybe they convinced me! I might buy the product, specially because I want to see if the body mist and lotion combined will have a longer smelling effect, seeing how some of the perfumes I've put on lately don't last at all, which angers me, but any way... I might just buy it with this:

Yup, $1.00 off my purchase of the Gud product. (Get it? You see what I did there? I was going to write "good" but because their name is "Gud," I used that instead! hahaha) Sorry, I apologize if that didn't make you smile. I'm running on little sleep right now actually. I had to make myself laugh a little bit and you too, if possible. Did it work? Well, I'll just give it a try some other time.
