This weekend was what I like to call a chillax weekend. I didn’t do much but basically lounge around in my leggings, t-shirt, and my monkey slippers. I only left the house to make a quick run for food and then quickly returned home. I actually love these types of weekends every now and then because it gives me time to write and share with all my fabulous readers. I decided to take a look at some of the free goodies I received this week and share what the deals I got as well.
Influenster sent me what they call a Love VoxBox of free goodies for me to try out and review. I received the box on Monday and inside it contained
Gillette Venus & Olay Razor- I shaved my legs with this razor and I think it’s heavenly. There’s an Olay moisture bar that attaches so you don’t need shaving cream. I also like the fact it came with a shower hook because I’m really good at getting in the shower and forgetting my razor. The moisture bar left my legs super soft and because I suffer from dry skin, this was right on point.
Kiss Nail Dress – Super cute and perfect for days when you want cute nails but don’t have the time to go get a manicure. I found that they were indeed cute but a little young for my taste. I passed them on to my 17 year old sister because I think they’re more for teens.
Stash Herbal Tea Sampler and Truvia Natural Sweetener – I received 18 tea bags in different flavors and a week’s supply of Truvia Natural Sweetener. I decided to try the tea out while working on this blog. It actually tastes pretty good as far as tea is concerned. I think people drink herbal tea more for the health benefits than the taste. I’m drinking the acai berry sweetened with Truvia. The sweetener actually tastes good as well and doesn’t leave a horrid after taste like some of the others I have tried. Calorie & Caffeine free works for me!
Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion Bar – its chocolate, need I say more. It’s the equivalent to good sex! It certainly left a smile on my face.
Sample Society a division of BeautyBar.com sent me a box beauty samples this week. The packaging and presentation was enough to score high points with me. I love beautifully presented merchandise. In the box I received, Fekkai Advanced Glossing Cream with Olive Oil for my hair, Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, Skyn Iceland Icelandic Eye Relief Pen, Ren Renewal Peel off Mask, and Oscar De La Renta Esprit d’Oscar Rollerball Perfume. The Ren face mask will not be used by me; it contains 2 ingredients that I stay away from alcohol and fragrance. I wear fragrance and I drink alcohol but I keep it off my face. The Oscar De La Renta will go to my grandmother; it’s definitely something I think an older person should wear. I have tried Dermalogica before and it works well and I will try the eye relief pen and pray I don’t look like I went a few rounds with Mike Tyson after I use it.
I purchased 2 items from Ruelala; the first item was a pair of Juicy Couture tennis shoes. I forgot I was on the waiting list for these shoes because they sold out of my size quickly. At $39.99 it’s to be expected. UPS left me a notice that I needed to pick up a package and I thought someone had sent me a gift. That’s been known to happen to me occasionally, so imagine my surprise when I picked up the box and it was the Juicy shoes that I forgot about, super cute and fabulous for the Spring. I went to lunch one day last week and when I returned found this box from Ruelala; I ordered a black BCBG MaxAzria quilted leather tote because I honestly lacked a large black shoulder tote in my collection. Retail price $348.00 my price $79.90. Ruelala is by invitation only; you can join by clicking this link http://www.ruelala.com/invite/shauntee
It just hit me, I haven’t been to a mall in over a month, can you believe it? I think I’m going through mall withdrawal, send help!
