I Got Free Juara Skincare Samples!

I have a little joke about Twitter being my enabler because I am following sooo many bath/beauty/skincare companies. And these companies usually tweet often about their products, sales, discounts, etc..., and I usually end up buying something sooner or later (depending on my budget). Well, one day @JUARAskincare made a tweet about free skincare samples and of course I emailed them quickly. And a few days later got a package with 5 generous samples:
Lime Puree Cucumber Clarifying Mask
Candlenut Hand and Body Balm
Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer
Rice Facial Cleanser
Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner
I have only tried the hand and body balm so far; feels nice, light, and has a warm nutty scent.
I will be trying the rest soon!

Shecky's Girls Night Out! I Went!

A couple nights ago, my friends and I went to Shecky's Girl's Night Out and there were tons of women there; a lot more than we expected. In fact, we arrived a little late in hopes of there being little to no line at the entrance. However, the line was jam packed and a little disorderly I must say. Anyhow, we got in and boy was there tons to see. There were plenty of vendors selling everything from jewelry, and clothing, to bath and body products and more. There were also lots of sponsors selling and giving out samples of their products including drinks and snacks. My friends and I checked out most of the vendors and of course I had to make a personal trip to each and every seller of "smell goods" of which there were about five.

Huh? You wanna know if I bought any "smell good" stuff? Of course I did! I bought some soap from a company called Kejor and some manicure scrub (called hand candies) from Bath by Riley. The soap is called Nature and smells great and is all natural. And the manicure scrub or hand candies are awesome-they are individually wrapped like candy and smell incredible; I think I will not only use them for my hands but for my body also.

Now, I can't make a blog post about Shecky's Girl's Night out without mentioning the "Goodie Bag" which is filled with all types of products and samples from the night's sponsors. The goodie bag costs $15 ( you can buy it when you order your ticket online) and is well worth it because there were a couple of full-sized products in the bag that were well over $15. Needless to say I was pleased and would definitely do Shecky's again. The only thing that was missing was chocolate and I am very serious about that. How can you have an event for women that has everything (snacks, drinks, shopping, smell goods, free samples, etc..) and no chocolate. So that is my one suggestion to Shecky's-get some chocolate people in there. That is all!

Note: I apologize for the lack of photos in this post; I had some issues with flickr that I have not been able to resolve.

Beautyhabit is having a clearance sale and there are some great products available for really great prices. So much to buy-so little money!

Join the Inner Circle

Saffron Rouge is a website that sells only natural and organic skincare, haircare, and cosmetics. They carry many brands-some I have heard of before and others that are new to me. I, being the beauty product junkie that I am, was interested in so many of the products on this site. I wanted to try almost every product I saw, especially the brands I had never heard of. However, I simply can not afford to spend much money on skincare these day, so I decided to join their sampling program. The program is called the Kirstin's Inner Circle and costs $35 to join. A membership gets you a couple of samples ( of the very best organic and natural beauty products) every month for 12 months and a detailed letter about the product. Also, there is usually an exclusive (for Inner Circle members) percentage amount off of that product or brand for a month. I have even received one full size product (valued at $17) as one of my monthly samples. Whoo Hoo! so glad I joined-now when I get some real money I can buy full-sizes of the products I like.
