Have you joined VocalPoint yet? If not, go! Do it! Get free goodies in your mailbox! Here's the latest goodie I received this weekend:
Pantene Nature Fusion is a special shampoo formula that uses all kinds of nice natural ingredients (cassia, bamboo, avocado oil, and grapeseed extract) to help heal damaged hair and prevent future damage. The line has two formulas--Smooth Vitality and Moisture Balance. I was sent a full-size free bottle of Smooth Vitality and have tried it once and noticed my hair feeling a bit softer just after one use. And, truth be told, I beat up on my hair; I've colored it since I was 14, I blow it dry and straighten it a few times a week, and it's already going gray (and thus wiry and weak). I'm looking forward to seeing how this product works long-term.
This post will be short and sweet, both because of the nature of the product and because I need to get ready for work!
I've already shared with you my love for free samples from MySavings, as it catalogs nearly every free sample available. One sample I received through a MySavings link included a variety of feminine care products from Always. If you haven't yet signed up for the P&G Everyday Solutions Brand Sampler (which I posted about earlier), sign up here and use this as your first sample offer, because it's worth it. (If you've already signed up, wait until the next quarter begins, then come back to this link and order this sample.) I can't even recall what all is included in this sample pack, but it definitely includes my new favorite (and the reason for this post):
Just try it. That's all I'm going to say about this one. You will be so happy you did.
This post is the first of a new topic for the blog: product recommendations.
Occasionally, as part of my money-making endeavours, I get a chance to test a new product before it appears on the market. I've tested healthier versions of Campbell's soup flavors, hair care, body care, personal care, sunscreen, eye drops, cookies, taco shells, pasta sauce, dog treats (well, the dogs technically tested those!), a new line of Lean Cuisine meals, new varieties of Hot Pockets, and a few that I've forgotten at the moment. I've also gotten to try new products when they hit the shelves, through programs like Vocalpoint and Viewpoints. When I try a new product I love, I can't wait for it to come on the market so I can buy it--and so I can share my recommendations with my friends. So that's the new topic, and I'm going to backtrack a little to cover some of my recent tests. I hope you will be able to discover some great new products through these posts.
This summer, thanks to my membership with Mindfield, I got the opportunity to test four options being considered for a new fragrance concept at Bath & Body Works. Based on B&BW's long-running scent Sweet Pea, the new fragrance was inspired by youth, revolution, daisies, and peace signs. And this weekend, while hitting a mall sale to buy a gift, I passed by the store and noticed the fragrance had finally been released! The best part? They went with my favorite of the four fragrance options.
Sweet Pea Forever. The fragrance is described as "petals and citrus," and I think it's just delicious. I've kept the test bottle on my perfume shelf since the summer, rationing it and hoping they'd go with this fragrance so I could buy more--and now I can! : ) I definitely recommend it. There's also a Moonlight Path variant (called "Moonlight Madness") if you're more of a berries-and-musk person.
Mindfield Online is a company that signs me up for a lot of these, including a handful of tests for Bath & Body Works products (I just got an invite to another one today, in fact). If you know me, you know how I feel about B&BW--I just love it. It's one area in which I'm willing to splurge a little... but I still use coupons there! Here's one I received in my email today:
Use this in conjunction with the current Buy 2, Get 1 deal (or Buy 3, Get 2) for a total of half off the sticker price of 4 or 6 items.
