Bath and Body Works Semi Annual Sale Preview

The Bath and Body Works website is having an Exclusive Preview Sale Event.  This is a preview to the Semi Annual Sale which begins on June 12th in most areas.  I know some stores in Colorado have already started their Semi Annual Sale.  During this sale, you can find items that are discounted up to 75% off and sometimes 90% off.  Going to the website using this link will take you to $3 signature scents, $6 double pack wallflowers, current 50% off items which will more than likely go to 75% once the in store sale gets going on June 12, 2013 and many other sale items.  This is the time to stock up and make sure you use your coupons!

Redbook + L'Oreal Paris Happy Hour House Party package

I recently received my Redbook + L'Oreal Paris Happy Hour House Party package.  I was chosen to be a host of this party by HouseParty.com.  In order to be chosen to host a House Party, you basically have to agree that you will invite so many people to attend your party, share the contents of the party package with your guests, review the items, you agree to not sale any of the items in the package and lastly, you must take a group photo and share it on the House Party website. 

 

I had no idea that this party package would include so many great products.  It was actually shocking to see all of the great items.  (Disclaimer:  I received these items free of charge in exchange for my and my party guests reviews of the products.)

 

You can see all of the wonderful items that were included in the party package in the picture below.   

Looks pretty awesome, right?!  I will make cute gift bags with the items here and add some of my own products to make it even more fantastic.  I will do some sort of game to give the books, lip stain and eye shadows away since there are only a couple of each of those products.  Each guest also gets a free subscription to Redbook!  I personally love Redbook.  I think it is a great magazine that touches on family, food, finance, beauty, health and other topics. 

 

I will post more once I have the party.  My party will be on May 4th, and I am looking forward to it.  So, stay tuned for more pictures of my guests and I partying!  I'm sure it is going to be a fun one! 

Make Your Garden Grow

I was just chosen to participate in the PENNINGTON® SMART FEED™ SPRAYER SYSTEM BzzCampaign!  Thank you BzzAgent.com.  I can't wait to receive the sprayer system and the fertilizing tablets.  We have been working on our lawn and the shrubs, and this will only enhance it!  My husband also has some tomato plants that we can use this system on and hopefully, we have some good results.

 



As stated on the BzzAgent.com website, Pennington developed their reusable Smart Feed^™ Sprayer System; an easy, reliable way to apply fertilizer that delivers bigger, better results*. Simply attach the sprayer to your hose, load in a pre-measured Smart Feed^™ water-soluble fertilizer tablet and spray to release nutrients to your plants.  The Pennington® Smart Feed™ System delivers 100% of its nutrients in roughly 10 minutes.  That’s half the time and half the water needed for competing products!  We love products that are made for simplicity, and this seems like it will be pretty simple to use!  

I will be taking pictures of our yard, shrubs and plants so that we can have before and after photos.  Once I do take the before pictures, I will post them.  After using the product, I will post after pictures.  I'm excited to give this a try.  

The products are provided by BzzAgent for free in exchange for feedback and spreading the word about this product to friends, family, co-workers and anyone who will listen!

Covergirl Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balm - 845 Juicy Jam

I recently picked up the Covergirl Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balm in the color 845 Juicy Jam.  The Covergirl Queen Collection of cosmetics is intended to complement darker skin tones.  I personally think many of the gloss balm colors complement any skin tone.  Some of the other products in this collection will also go with most skin tones.      

 

The following is what the Covergirl website says about the Queen Collection Jumbo Gloss Balms: 

• Twist up the color and glide on the shine. Treat your lips to a balm that complements darker skin tones and is fortified with shea and mango butters for a smooth look with a hint of color.

There are 16 beautiful colors in this gloss balm collection.  You can visit the Covergirl site here to see all of the colors available.  

 

I only purchased one color to see if I like the way it feels on my lips.  I wanted to make sure that it didn't cake up or feel sticky.  For the record, it didn't cake up or feel sticky.  It feels really soft, smooth and creamy.  I absolutely love it!  I will be purchasing many more in a wide array of colors.  

 

In order to get your lips looking beautiful, all you have to do is generously apply the gloss balm to your lips by starting in the center and work your way out.  It really does give your great color and shine.  The color lasts for quite a while (hours) without having to reapply.  

 

I purchased my gloss balm at Target for around $7.  You can pick it up at other retailers such as Walmart, Ulta, local drugstores such as CVS and Walgreens, and your local grocery store.  You can also purchase other products from the Covergirl Queen collections such as matte pressed powder, concealer, flawless foundation, mascara, etc.  Click here to see the full Queen collection. 

 

And like I stated previously, the collection is geared towards darker skin tones, but several of the products like the eyeliner, lipsticks, gloss balms, mascara, eye shadows, etc. will work with many skin tones.  I'm not dark by any means, and several of the products work wonderfully on me.

Bath and Body Works Market Peach Candles

 

I went to Bath and Body Works last weekend and purchased some home fragrance items.  While there, I received two free Market Peach 4 oz. candles.  I bought the two candle holders that fit either the mini candles or the small 4 oz. candles.  They are really cute and made of bubble glass.  They were only $6.50 a piece, but I had a coupon and got a discount. 

 

While burning the candles this early morning, I decided that I really do like the candle holders.  They put off a wonderful ambiance.  The only thing about burning the candles that I don't like is that I can't smell a thing.  I was burning them in my living room which is a pretty good size.  They were burning pretty much right in front of me on the coffee table, but I couldn't smell them.  The only way that I got even a tiny bit of scent is if my nose was right over the flame.  I guess I won't be buying any of these 4 oz candles.  I have rarely had any luck with the 4 oz. candles from Bath and Body Works.  I usually purchase the 3-wicks, but since these were free, I thought I would give them a chance. 

 

You should go out and purchase some Bath and Body Works candles and try them for yourself.  I would recommend the 3 wicks, but you can try out the 4 oz. ones because you never know, you might have better luck.  Some of their stronger candles may put out more scent in the 4 oz., but it will be trial and error. 

 

Please visit the Bath and Body Works website to see the great collection of candles, candle accessories, and other products.  Or visit your local store or outlet location near you.  Here is the link to the store locator.

Bath and Body Works Spring Market Event

Here is a picture of my haul from the Bath and Body Works Spring Market Event that took place on Saturday, March 9, 2013.  If you purchased a home fragrance item, then you got a free 4 oz Market Peach candle as a free gift..  I did two transactions and received two free gifts. 

I bought two more of one of my favorite scents at Bath and Body Works.  Pineapple Orchid is an amazing scent!  If you have not tried it, then you really should.  It is sweet and beautiful!  This 3 wick candle also burns perfectly.  I have not had any problems with it tunnelling or with the flames.  You should definitely check this one out before it it is gone for the season.  I also purchased four of the the wallflower bulbs in the same scent.  I currently have this scent in three rooms throughout my home.  I'm surely addicted to this wonderful scent.  I picked up two candle holders which hold either the mini candles or the small 4 oz candles. 

The last items that I picked up were the Pink Chiffon hand creams.  I was waiting and waiting for these to show up in my local stores.  A friend of mine posted online that they purchased one on Friday evening, so that is one of the first things I looked for when I arrived at the store on Saturday.  One of the Sales Associates actually ran up to me and pulled one from her apron just in case by the time I showed up they were all gone.  She said that she knew I would show up sooner or later on Saturday.  I really love the scent.  It feels nice and smooth, but after a little while, my hands were itching like crazy.  I don't know if it was a one time thing or not, but I'm going to try it again on another day to see what my reaction is.  I hope that it doesn't make me itch like that again because I will have to return them.

Overall, I had a great shopping experience.  All of the SAs and the manager were so kind and helpful like usual.  My store didn't hand out free samples like some other stores did, but maybe, they will hand some out at future events.  I used two survey coupons for $10 off of $30, and got the two free gifts, so that made me happy!
