I received a .68 fl. oz/ 2 mL sample of Garnier Nutritioniste Ultra-Lift Pro Deep Wrinkle Cream SPF 20. I was able to use all of the amount given in the sample for my face, neck, chest, hands and arms. In other words, it was good for one use.The texture of the cream was a light, easily absorbed cream. It left my skin feeling very soft.The cream is fragranced, unfortunately. I prefer my face pro...

I wear two bags all the time: this Maurizio Taiuti Black Leather Bag and another one. I hardly ever deviate from those two bags because they just "work."                                      &...

When I was in Italy, a few years back, I was definitely blown away by all the leather goods. I went to many stores. Not all of them were affordably priced. When I am in a more expensive store, it is to admire the goods and window shop. I generally do not buy the items firsthand.By chance, I saw the store, Carpisa. I had never heard of them before, so I am not exactly sure wh...

I was able to get the 50 mL Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy ultra-moisturizing hand cream free by using a coupon, but I would honestly pay the $7! It is that good. It is loaded with shea butter and glycerin to hydrate, and rosewater to soothe.I really like the packaging of Hand Therapy. It is smooth and metal, not the typical plastic tubes that usual hand creams...

I've been using this since a dermatologist suggested it (Approximately 4 years ago). I asked for her recommendations, at an appointment, because I've always been concerned with sun exposure. She said that this product would not cause any breakouts. I have found this to be the case. It has not caused any pimples, and I am quite acne-prone.There are a couple of things I love abo...

Recently, I got a new Berkshire Blanket Softest Microloft Blanket Full/Queen blanket from Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was originally $30.00; I used a 20% off coupon, making the price $24. The blanket is super soft, smooth and cuddly. It is light, so it is not too heavy for summer. Despite its lightness, I think it would still be good for winter because it keeps me warm.My blanket measure 90" ...

This tank top was given to me for my birthday. It is so pretty. I love the lace trim around the collar. The straps are not too thin, so they cover my bra straps well. I don't own a lot of white colored clothing, so I was pleased to receive a top in this color. It fits well. It is a little roomy, but I like when things are not skintight. It was bought in my size; I did not go a size up or an...

Lately, I've been on a real sugar kick. I had some candy left over from last Halloween and was immediately drawn to the Now and Laters in my stash. I bought a huge mixed bag of candy for trick-or-treaters a year ago. I didn't realize at the time that no children would show up (I had just moved). I live in a rural area on a long dark street. No one showed up, not even during the day, so ...

I bought these earrings for myself specifically for Halloween. I thought they were adorable from the moment I saw them. I have a black-and-white cat, and these remind me of her minus the white markings my cat has. I have to say, the hooks on these are uncomfortable! My mom told me to try to bend them, so they wouldn't keep poking into that area behind my ears (She had a pair herself and exp...

A month or so ago, I needed a new razor. I wanted something girly, something that expressed my personality. Especially since this would be something I would use all the time, for a long time. At first, the only razors I saw were the thin ones, the ones for men.I wanted a thicker razor, specifically for women, maybe one with a design, glitter embedded in it, or bright colors. While sca...

I have been using Differin Gel in a 0.1% for approximately 5 years. Throughout my life I have dealt with cystic acne. This type of acne gives a person deep, hard pimples that often causes scarring. I also deal with regular pimples and blackheads, but the cystic acne was definitely the worst. They were the most painful.Perhaps the best thing I did for my skin was to start seeing a dermatologist ...

Yesterday, I really got rewarded; I was taken for a massage. I haven't gotten a massage in at least a year and a half. I used to get them more often for muscle pain and fatigue, but it got expensive and honestly, I didn't feel like it provided any long-term or even intermediate relief. Basically, it only felt good in the moment.Since this was a gift to me, I was totally game. I wanted t...

I have been using the same medicated cleanser for quite a few years. Some of the brand names for it are Prascion and Plexion. I have used both, but I use the generic right now. A couple of months ago, I experienced some serious excessive dryness on my face from it. I actually got big dry patches! This was especially weird since you usually hear of people getting su...

I kind of like this brand. Their products are affordable and come in a lot of scents. The size I bought, net weight 3 oz., looks like the size of Yankee Candle's small jar candles. Yankee Candle's small jar candles cost $9.99 (Their net weight is 3.7 oz). Basically I paid 1/10 of what I would have paid at Yankee Candle. Since I paid a fraction of that price, I bought a couple other scen...

I received these samples in the mail recently. They are designed to protect against the damage caused by heat styling. I rarely use my blowdryer, and I never use any other hot tools, like flat irons, curling irons, wavers, etc. My hair is prone to breakage and split ends. Stylers like these make this issue worse. I figured since this is for people who use thermal stylin...

I received Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream along with a bunch of other goodies customized to my skin type after filling out a questionnaire. I wanted to like you, Hyaluronic Eye Cream, I really did! Alas, after trying it for a while now, I have realized that it is not "workin' for me."The texture of the eye cream is creamy and rich, probably too rich. When I apply it, even...

Lancome Le Rouge Absolu Lipstick in Crushed Rose is a dream to apply! It is very hydrating and has a very creamy texture. The main caveat of the lipstick its' fragrance which is a combination of Play-Doh and dead flowers. Initially, the perfume of the lipstick is nauseating. Luckily, somehow, the odious scent wears off as time goes by until it is not notic...

L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise Advanced RevitaLift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Intensive Restoring Treatment SPF 15 Day Lotion... Boy, is that a long title for a product or what? These companies should be set quotas for how long they are allowed to title their products, because WOW! When I first opened up my sample, I did not like its fragrance at all. It smelled like chemicals and ver...

The other day I received a very generous sample. I received it by filling out an online form on Costco's website. The sample was a 2 fl. oz (60 mL) size. I like this size a lot. It is the perfect size to throw in my bag. It fits in my hand well also. So far I really like this body lotion. I have been using it on my hands and forearms, rather than on my entire body. It has a very light formu...

This sleeveless tee is a beautiful cornflower shade of blue! It is made with 100% cotton fabric. I like cotton a lot because of its ability to breathe and keep me cool. This material in particular feels very soft. It is trimmed in lace, but it is not of the stiff, rough variety. I don't find it irritating at all.The tank fits pretty well allover. It's a bit long, but I find that manufac...
