FREE sample product review: The Face Shop











During a trip to my local Walgreen's, I received a free sample of a product for The Face Shop: Serum Infused Natural Cloth Mask Sheet - Collagen Mask Sheet. The label reads:


"Super high concentrations of Collagen that is responsible for keeping the skin firm and smooth". Hey ladies, I just hit THIRTY, I am all about firming my face...and other body parts too! Sign me up!


So, this evening, I tried it out. It came in a thick pouch that was easily opened. The mask was a soft cottony sheet, soaked it liquid. I am glad I put it on over the bathroom sink, because I could see it causing quite a mess.


It felt GREAT on my face! I really liked the way the moisture felt, and it was cool to the skin. After 20 minutes, I removed the sheet, and my face felt delightfully moisturized. I really liked it!


My only complaint about the product is that it didn't last very long. Once I removed the mask, it was a matter of approximately an hour, and my skin felt the same as before.

Perhaps it would work better if I used it more often...I did some searching, and the prices on these products are relatively reasonable. Walgreens price is 2/$5.

Target freebies!

If you do head to your nearest Target for the dollar school items, I suggest first taking a look at this deal scenerio from WICKED Cool Deals! I'd certainly say it is indeed WICKED COOL!

I was just saying to my coupon friends that I need to find a good buy on razors, and then wham! Here it is!!! Again, Target is a bit of a drive, so I don't think I will get there in time to take advantage of this offer...but I hope YOU CAN!

Target dollar deals

Over at Free2bfrugal, I found this list of dollar school items from Target!!! Unfortunately, the closest Target is about 40 minutes from me, otherwise I would be heading over there now!

With Rowan now being 2 1/2, I am considering starting a little pre-school at home. Every child needs that structure, and Rowan enjoys learning!!! These items are more for the teachers than for the students, so home-schoolers take notice!
