First Impression and Mini Review: L'Oreal Infallible Setting Spray

So I've been hearing a lot of talk about the L'Oreal Infallible line of cosmetics. I am by no means an expert in cosmetics but just a 40-something wife and mother who is rediscovering cosmetics.

L'Oreal touts the Infallible line as a "never fail" type of make up and boasts a complete line from foundation to mascara to setting spray. What is setting spray you ask? The L'Oreal Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray is a way to keep your makeup looking fresh without having to reapply additional makeup. After you apply your makeup in the morning, you lightly mist your face with this product and feel your makeup setting. According to the L'Oreal website, this product is dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic.

This product retails for $16.99. You read that right and that's at the drugstore and not at some fancy makeup counter in a large department store. The beauty of purchasing cosmetics at the drugstore is you can almost always find great coupons and deals. I purchased my bottle at CVS last week which happened to be running a deal where you purchase $15 in beauty and receive $5 in ExtraBucks. If you are not familiar with this program, you basically earn rewards equating to "cash" which can be used at CVS at a later date. At some point you might even accumulate a lot of ExtraBucks where your out of pocket is minimal to nothing.

Fortunately for me, I had $1 off manufacturing coupon off any L'Oreal product plus $5 ExtraBucks from a previous visit and a $5 off $15 purchase which I received in my email a few days prior. After all was calculated, my out of pocket expense was only $5.99 plus tax. In addition, I earned another $5 in ExtraBucks which applied to this purchase made it really less than $2. How do you like them apples? Friends, coupons are free money!

I have been using this product for a few days now, and I really like how it sets my make up in the morning. It feels as if it is settling the makeup on my face. It is not oily and give my makeup that complete look. I'm not sure how long this bottle will last but it only takes about 2-3 mists which can't be very much. Of course the real test will is how this does over the course of a few months. But for right now I love it and I couldn't beat the price after all my coupons!

More Life: Getting Back On Track

It's been awhile since I've written anything here. I love to write but am not very good about keeping up with it. I have a few posts that I've been working on that I'd like to get up soon. One of them is about my weight-loss/health journey story. May not be interesting to anyone but me. The reason I'd like to get it up is to have a record of it somewhere. If I was cognizant, I would have kept better records of where I started and where I am today. There are a few things I do remember and things I currently do and other things. Those will be up in a post or two soon. Other posts I'd like to write are reviews of things I've been loving lately, food posts, healthy lifestyle posts, etc. I really do need to exercise my writing skills. Hope anyone who reads this is having a good summer. See y'all soon!

Why?

I've been thinking for awhile to get back into blogging even though it doesn't seem like a popular platform anymore with the rise in vlogging (video blogging). But I've never been one to be in front of a camera and opted instead to become a newspaper journalist right out of college. I've also taught high school and college as well as worked my way up but never completed my master's degree in communication studies. Instead I took the path of marriage and motherhood. I've blogged briefly in the past during the pregnancies of both of my sons but gave that up when life took over as it usually does. But now I've got a little time on my hands and decided to head in another direction. I'm a mid-40s (midlife crisis mode) wife and mother and more! This will be more of a lifestyle blog with entries of just about everything and anything (home, cooking, kids, beauty, travel, etc). So here I begin and away we go....

Product Reviews: Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray (Influenster Target VoxBox)

Image
Occasionally, if I'm lucky, I will receive a box from Influenster . If I'm super lucky, I will get a box with a variety of items. If you don't know what Influenster is, it is a website where you can learn about products and even get a few for free to try out and submit a review. There are also other activities you do to earn more free products to review. And who doesn't love something for nothing. You also might get super lucky and receive one of their boxes with a variety of items to try. But I've only been lucky lately from Influenster and received two items from them. One was the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Dry Spray Antiperspirant  for my husband to try out and the other was Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray for me to review. In this post, I will only be reviewing the Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray since I have used this product. The Dove Cool Essentials Dry Spray comes in a cool and simply decorated canister. The fragrance is called "cool essentials.
