Random Freebies

Here is the mismash from freebie heaven...... ready? It will be quick....





First, are these random 12 scent thingys (lol) from Colonial Candle. Basically, these are 'scent testers'. I will be using them in closets, drawers, and the bathroom. Anywhere that needs freshening up.





Next, another three pack from the Suave Natural Infusion line. I have already tried these, and hate them. They left my thick/dry hair dull and greasy.




Finally, I made bracelets with Shapeways via Google. The Made with Code site lets you make a bracelet with code for free. I made two. They are child size, but luckily I have small wrists. I can't wait to wear one at work as a conversation piece.



IPSY September 2014 Street Style



Yay, another great Ipsy bag. The physical bag is one of my favorite when it comes to quality. The studs aren't cheaply added, the bag is soft yet sturdy, and it doesn't have the plastic smell that most of their bags do.










Contents:
-Briogeo Don't Despare, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask.... This smells absolutely amazing and I can't wait to give it a go.  A full size is 5.25 oz and is $26- making this 1 oz sample worth $4.95.
- NYX Hot Single Eyeshadow in Dressed to Kill.... I am in love with this shadow. It is a Grey/Silver with Purple/Red shimmer. I believe it is from the Fashion Victim line, and I will be looking into the other colors. According to Ulta.com, these run $4.49.
-Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss.... So, I was super excited because the color is almost identical to my favorite gloss. BUT (and that is a big but, like Kardashian), it stinks like old makeup and rubber. I think I received a bad one :( This is a $19 product.
- Crown Brush Dual Ended Crease and Shadow Brush.... Errrmahgerd, I was stoked for this. I needed this as my brushes are getting close to retirement (lol). This is currently on sale for $10.61.
- Pacifica eyeliner Mini in Fringe.... I am not opening this, so I cannot comment on the quality/pigmentation. I don't do brown eyeliner often, and already have a couple open that I use if I do. A full size is $10.99 for 0.1oz, making this .026oz worth about $2.75

This bag was, approx, worth $41.80....well worth the $10 that I spent.

Pinch me! For him!

Pinch me has recognized that the majority of samplers and reviewers are women; so what have they done? They have decided to take aim at the male market. I received an email about this, and signed my boyfriend up. The samples weren't much different, but seemed easier to get than normal.


Included:
- 1 Lifestyles condom
- 1 packet of American Crew Power Cleanser Style Remover
- 2 packets of Gevalia ground coffee.....one is Signature Blend, and the other is Select Varietal Colombia


Looking at all of this together, it seems like their audience aim is more at the college crowd than the general male public....lol

Bzzagent, take two with Dial!

Normally, bzzagent sends a package that is meant to be shared. This one was a bit different, it was all for me. Dial's new product claims to have 'clinically proven' that it will clear your skin in 3 days.

What was in the package?
- 3 sample packets, each containing a body wash and face wash
-3 $1 off coupons

How did it fare?
I felt clean, though I am not sure if I actually noticed a difference in my skin. Studies have shown that it is something like 5-7 days that a 'zit' will sit under your skin before it actually appears visually noticeable, so I think the 3 day claim is just that- a claim. Would I buy it? I would, I felt clean in a sterile/comfortable way- which is how I want to feel when getting out of the shower.


BZZAGENT and My Monopoly



Let's start with the usual schpeil... Bzzagent is a website that has you take surveys and then sends out things for you to try, share, and review.

This time, I received 'My Monopoly', coupons to share, and a code for $10 off at shutterfly.com.

This game is mighty cool. Basically you use your phone or computer to register and select images. Then you print off those images onto stickers- and those stickers become your pieces and cards and property pictures. It is a fun way to customize your gameplay.



This is a prelim review, as I will be having a game night soon......
