A Giveaway With Swagger

Michelle Smith — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:40:41 +0000

Did you see the Old Spice Gift Set that I wrote about the other day? You did? Good news! I’m going to be giving away 5 of those babies. The giveaway is for the Swagger fragrance and it contains the following:

…full-size versions of Red Zone products; Body Spray, the Deodorant, the 8 Hour Body Wash, a “Deck Scrubber” shower tool, and a small size of the 16 hour Odor Blocker Body Wash.

I’m not a fan of overly man-scaped men (why do they insist on messing with their eyebrows?). I do, however, appreciate a man who smells good and has nice skin. The Old Spice Deck Scrubber, included in the gift set, is a mesh-type scrubber. It features a “manly” handle, so you don’t confuse it with a lesser, girly mesh scrubber.

These scrubbers are good for two reasons. One, you only need a little body wash to get a healthy lather (Guys, saving money means you’ve got more to spend on your lady. Yay!). Two, it exfoliates. Exfoliation is a trick that we women have known about for a long time. Exfoliated skin is soft, smooth skin.

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment telling me what you think of the Old Spice commercials featured here.

The Old Spice Gift Sets will be available this season at stores like Walmart and Target.

A Giveaway With Swagger

Gift Idea: Old Spice Gift Set

Michelle Smith — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:53:57 +0000

The Old Spice of today is very different from the Old Spice my Grandpa used. With a quirky-cool new ad campaign and a new product line with scents like Swagger and After Hours. My teenage son has used the Swagger line – the body wash, body spray, and deodorant. The products smell good and work effectively, which is an important selling point where a teenage boy is concerned. Hey, sometimes teens are stinky, this makes them not stinky, good-smelling even.

Old Spice sent me this huge gift set yesterday. It holds full-size versions of Red Zone products; Body Spray, the Deodorant, the 8 Hour Body Wash, a “Deck Scrubber” shower tool, and a small size of the 16 hour Odor Blocker Body Wash. The box has a coupon for 20% off a Old Spice purchase at the Old Spice Store right on it.

The Red Zone products come in the following fragrances, complete with Old Spice descriptions:

Vitality: Scent technology last 8-hours, an average work day
Hydrowash: Hydrating formula leaves your skin smooth
Swagger: For men who want power to see into their pores
After Hours: Bathe yourself in power
Showtime: Refreshing lather choke-slams dirt and odor
Aqua Reef: Drop-kicks dirt and odor
Double Impact: It’s one thing that’s two things
Live Wire: It’s one thing that’s two things and green

Watch for Old Spice Gift Sets this holiday season. It’s a good gift idea for men of any age.

Saving Money At ULTA

Michelle Smith — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:23:37 +0000

Finding new ways to save money is a subject that’s always on my mind. This year I’m going to try to begin my holiday shopping extra early in an attempt to keep as close to my budget as possible.

I was looking at ULTA and they have these ULTA Spa Sponge Collections that include 3 different sponges – a mesh pouf, a loofah, and a natural cut body sponge. I like a mesh pouf because you can use a very small amount of body wash and still get a ton of suds. Using less product saves money. These sponge sets are on sale for half price right now.

ULTA Spa Sponge Collection
Regularly $12, on sale for $6

Another great buy for the bath is the Earth Therapeutics Feng Shui Mesh Body Brush for only $1.99. It has a long handle and a rope hanger. It comes in two colors – Earth/Yellow or Wood/Green.

Feng Shui Mesh Body Brush
$1.99

Here’s something that I’m going to need to snatch up before it’s all gone – Bodycology Vanilla Buttercream Body Cream. I love this stuff and I use it regularly. It’s thick and creamy and leaves you smelling like a cupcake. The 8 ounce size cream is available at a clearance price of $2.49. I hate to see this body cream go.

Vanilla Buttercream Body Cream
$2.49

Add a muliti-use product like Philosophy’s Vanilla Birthday Cake 3-in-1 Shampoo, Body Wash, and Bubble Bath, and you’ve got the makings of a easy and inexpensive holiday spa-style gift basket.

Vanilla Birthday Cake
$16

When shopping at ULTA, use the promo code 23126 for a $5 savings on any $10 purchase or use the code 22493 for 20% off of one item.

Amazing Grace 3-Piece Layering Set

Michelle Smith — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:23:12 +0000

The best way to make a fragrance last all day is to put it on in layers. Layered products, one on top of the other, build a good foundation of scent – they allow the scent to cling to your skin. Start with a body wash, then apply a fragrant moisturizer. Finish with a spritz of your favorite eau de parfum or eau de toilette.

For best results, pick three products of the same fragrance or the same fragrance family. I like to layer the Caroline Chu products, but I add a different brand of body powder in a lavender scent. It’s not the same fragrance, but the florals work really well together.

ULTA carries a set of Philosophy’s Amazing Grace products that are meant to be used in a layered manner. Right now ULTA is offering a sample of Philosophy’s Unconditional Love Eau de Toilette with any Philosophy purchase.
Philosophy Amazing Grace 3-Piece Fragrance Layering Gift Set
$59.50

The set includes 3 of Philosophy’s Amazing Grace line; Buffing Wash 8 oz, Firming Body Emulsion 8 oz, and a 2 oz Amazing Grace fragrance spray.

Amazing Grace Fragrance notes: Mandarin Orange, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Freesia, Jasmine, Rose, Musk

Lemongrass & Sugarcane Shower Mousse

Kelly Townsend — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:21:43 +0000

For many years, I have been a fan of Crabtree & Evelyn. Their products are always top quality and most often very affordable. One of my favorites is the Lemongrass & Sugarcane Shower Mousse from their Naturals line. You might have seen this product in Oprah Magazine or any number of other beauty publications.

Image: Crabtree & Evelyn

This luxurious, foamy body wash cleans, nourishes, soothes and hydrates dull, tired skin. It contains no parabens, synthetic dyes or sodium lauryl sulfate. And with all the bad things out of it, there’s room for plenty of goodness!

The vitamin-rich lemon water, lemongrass and sugar cane come together with wheat proteins and glycerin to really fortify your skin.

Regularly priced at $16.00 for 6.8 ounces, Lemongrass & Sugarcane Shower Mousse is on sale now for 20% off.

You can get this product online at crabtree-evelyn.com for just $12.80.

M·A·C Naked Honey Moisturizing Body Wash

Kelly Townsend — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:17:48 +0000

This weekend, I tried a new body wash and had to share my experience with Splendicity readers. Usually when it comes to M·A·C, I stick to their makeup — not straying into their bath and body products. I guess I figure that they do makeup so well that I don’t really want to put them to the test in something outside their realm. But I was extremely pleased when I tried their M·A·C Naked Honey Moisturizing Body Wash.

Image: Nordstrom

Created from bio-converted honey, lavender, narcissus, jasmine flower waxes and blue agave extracts, this body wash is nourishing and soothing. It provides just enough lather without being overly bubbly. The scent is relaxing and sensual. The product really moisturizes skin, leaving it silky soft.

This body wash is priced at $19.50 for 3.4 oz at Nordstrom and other retailers. At Nordstrom.com, you can also find the M·A·C Naked Honey Hand & Body Cream ($22.50) and Skin Salve ($18.50).

What body wash do use? Or do you stick to a good ol’ fashioned bar of soap?
