Product Reviews 2010, First Edition

Ahh, word-of-mouth. The hub of reliable marketing.
Here are my latest experiences,

L'Oreal Active Daily Moisture Lotion, SPF 15



So, I have been using this particular moisturizer since the end of summer 2009. And, so far it's a winner; one of my favorites. I clipped a $1 coupon in the newspaper and decided to give L'Oreal a go. But, while they had a short break in issuing coupons to consumers, I purchased other products that did have matching coupons with them (ie; Aveeno).

L'Oreal Facial Moisturizer is very silky and gives your skin a beautiful glow. I fell in love with this product when I began using it. I have oily skin, and this moisturizer isn't at all over-bearing. And, another plus-- there were $2 coupons for this product in this past circular and I must say that I was quite jolly. How very generous of L'Oreal. I clipped multiple of these coupons and cannot wait to spend them. Thank you, L'Oreal.

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

I am in super LOVEEEE with these helmets!! Do you remember when you were younger and you never wanted to wear a helmet when you rode your "bike," because they were so bulky and UGLY?!

lol. I do!! And, I've found these nice little jewels.

Uhhhhm, that white helmet. Sheesh. I cannot stop staring. It want that one and the navy blue. Both very classic styles. They are soooooo gorgeous!!!

Underneath the stylish cover is a thick stainless steel helmet. The covers are interchangeable (and, washable I'd hope). You get safety and style. I want these helmets, and several different covers.

And check out the ear warmers,

Do these ear warmers complete the look or what?! So perfect for winter days.







The navy blue "boat-look;" the preppy/classy-look. I am beyond smitten!! [Not sold in the U.S. Absolutely ordering some of these].

CVS Run!

I did really well at CVS today. iheartcvs.com has some really great printable coupons. $5 off $20, $4 off 3 Coca-Cola 12-packs.

My deals;



3 Coca-Cola 12-packs 3/$11
2 Special K Cereal Red Berries (12 oz, twin pack-- my FAVE cereal!!) $7.99, get $2 ECB (in theory, $3 each-- cheapest price yet!)
1 Green Bag Tag (filler/forgot mine at home) $.99

Total = $19.98
less $5 off $20 Q
less $4 off Coca-Cola Q
less $5 ECB
less $1 ECB

= $4.98 + $.54 tax = $5.52 OOP, get $2 ECB!!

Overall in theory, $5.52 - earned $2 ECB = $3.52 :) :)

The Indian man at the checkout counter was like, "You're going to make your husband very happy, I bet!" Or something to that extent; highlighting my savings and admiring my couponing strategy.

That made me smile greatly; it put a genuine smile on my face, considering I don't have a husband nor a fiance, and considering the time I spend clipping/organizing/planning... not to mention the previous not-so-great experience I had at Target (bleh!). It really meant a lot. Overall, perfect trip ;)
