GlossyBox ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 31, 2012 at 5:51 AM

I got my August GlossyBox today! So far this is my favorite out of all the boxes I subscribe too. It’s just sooo fancy!

So this month’s theme is Pure Luxury. Here is what the card reads:

A balmy summer has come to a close and your body is in need of genuine TLC. Pamper yourself in this month’s GLOSSYBOX by nourishing your body from head to toe with rich, technologically-advanced products infused with vitamins, natural oils and sublime color. The exquisite selection of cosmetics will preserve your sun-kissed beauty, leaving you looking healthy and radiant. As the season comes to an end, wrap yourself in pure luxury.

Here is what I unwrapped.

 

Biologe ~ EsquisiteOil Replenishing Treatment. It’s a serum infused with Morigna Oil that is supposed to make your hair shine. Oh how my hair is crying for this!

3.1 oz full-sized product retails for $22

 

 

 

 

 

Ellis Faas ~ Ellis Faas Lips.

Ok I got this in my Beauty Box 5 and LOVE it. This one, not so much. This one is a glaze and the shade is HORRIBLE! I seriously don’t know a soul that would wear it. It’s oompa loompa orange! I don’t think I could give this away if I paid someone to take it.

0.095 oz retails for $35  (that’s a lot to spend on Halloween make-up)

 

 

 

ILLAMASQUA ~ Nail Varnish “Glory” I am sooooooo happy with this shade and can’t wait to try it. My University’s colors are Maroon and Silver. PERFECT! 🙂 Griz season starts tomorrow! GO GRIZ!

Retails for $14

 

 

 

 

OLE HENRIKSEN ~ Truth Serum !!! High powered vitamin C to smooth out lines and wrinkles.

1.0 oz Full Size retails for $48

 

 

 

 

 

TOUCH In SOL ~ Feel like Honey Moon Skin Base (interesting!) This is a primer that is a honey texure. It firms and revitalizes skin and allows for better makeup application. Aside from the polish, I’m super excited to try this. I’ll keep you posted!

1.13 oz Full Size retails for $20

 

 

 

 

Super excited to try everything out. I’ll update this post when I do.

New Wording on Coupons ~ P&G, Pom Wonderful

  • Posted on August 30, 2012 at 9:12 AM

I try and make it a habit to update coupon policies in my binder and to read the “instructions” on coupons so I’m not blindsided at the checkout. I noticed some new wording on the P&G coupons that came out last weekend. BTW P&G coupons are the only ones that have this new wording. If you seen coupons from other companies doing the same, please share.
They used to state: “Limit of 4 like coupons in the same shopping trip“.

They now state: “Limit of 4 like coupons per household per day”,

So basically, if you would like to buy 5 like items (boxes of cereal) and you want to use coupons, you can only buy 4 one day, then come back the next day to buy the 5th one with a coupon. For most of us small time couponers this wording will not matter much.  To those who are extreme couponers and buy 100′s of items in one trip, you will have some major changes!

On the flip-side POM Wonderful. the first to feature the new wording, (“Cannot be used during any in-store promotional offer or discount.”) retracted their changes after outcries from the couponing community. YAY!

POM Wonderful issued us the following statement tonight:

“POM Wonderful has always been as passionate about our customers as we are about our products. We recognize that some customers were disappointed in the limitation attached to one of our recent coupons. After examining this issue, we have changed the wording on future coupons so they will no longer prohibit usage in combination with retailer promotions. We hope customers will take advantage of future coupons and promotional opportunities so they can continue enjoying POM Wonderful.”

Wonderful, indeed. And lesson learned: if you don’t read the fine print on your coupons, maybe you should. And if you don’t like what you read, maybe you should start asking questions. Couponers often know coupons better than the companies that issue them, after all.

P&G, are you listening?
