Garnier Whole Blend Green Apple and Green Tea

The Garnier Whole Blend Green Apple and Green Tea Shampoo and Conditioner* have got to be one of these most photogenic press packages I've received. The greenness of the bottle mixed with the PR boxes graphics and booklets were so A+. Kudos to the Garnier graphics team on this one. But more importantly, aesthetics aside, this hair set has been nice for my locks too!

For the Eye Bags - Garnier BB Eye Miracle Skin Perfector*

*Press Sample

 There's something special about the mirrors in the bathroom at work. Nothing quite draws out the under-eye baggage quite like those fluorescent lights. You think you covered those babies up but your reflection during the morning work pee break makes you wonder if you need some sort of eye-bra to help you lift those bags. Add to some progressively smudgy eyeliner,  you may have started the day off at the ripe age of 26, but you're ending the day at the almost over-ripened age of 80.

Learning that exfoliators are an important part of keeping the pores unclogged is a relatively new discovery for me. I knew exfoliation was something I should do now and again but I always forget.

Finally, someone in the West is trying their hand at creating a drugstore cleansing oil. Since I always go in for the double cleanse, I'm always on the look out for affordable cleansing oil options.

Garnier: Deconstructed Line (Beach Chic Spray, Move It Gel, Pixie Play Cream)*

*Press Samples

 Garnier's new Deconstructed line promises a done-yet-undone look with 24 hour touchable, deconstructed style with a soft satin finish. Having tried a pseudo-perm (where I waffled for about 20 mins at the salon and the dresser decided to finally imitate a perm by blowdrying so I could get a sense of how it would look before I committed....) I realized I wanted to do something NEW with my hair. I like my hair generally but I just wanted something different so instead of opting for the perm (though I still just may) going with styling products seemed an inexpensive alternative.

There are some downsides to buying things on sale and in bulk.
