Reader's Frugal Glam Product

Since the snow storm sort a put a pause on my posting I thought I would post a reader's product review.

Evelyn washes her face with store brand baby wipes and they cost less than $2 a pack. The last thing she splurged on was Bath Fragrance by Bobbi Brown for $40 (bobbibrowncosmetics.com or bergdorfgoodman.com) because it smells so clean and fresh.

Wish List Item 2: Perfect for the Girly Girl

Another Wish List item of mine was Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette Natural Spray ($35.00 for 1.7 oz).

I smelled a sample of this and knew I had to have it. It's sweet without being too sweet and girly. I smell hints of cotton candy and other sugary delights.

I would leave this spray for daytime (you would want something sexier for night).

From the description:

Pink Sugar begins with sugary sweet notes of cotton candy, strawberry, raspberry and orange which fade to reveal sensual mid notes of lily of the valley, fig leaves, and barbe-a-papa. The scent finishes on rich, soft base notes of vanilla, amber, musk, and woods.

What I also like is how the scent pleasently lingers. If you have tried or have this product, please let us know what you think?

Not so basic products.

I was having technical difficulties yesterday, because of that I will post two Frugal Glam items.


The first is White Barn Candle Co. Concentrated Home Fragrance Spray Bartlett Pear ($5, bathandbodyworks.com or White Barn Candle Co. stores).

I like to spray this in the living room and it smells devine. It might be small but it's concentrated so you don't have to use too much. If pear is not your favorite fragrance, other scents are available.



The second Frugal Glam product is Crest Whitening Expressions Toothpaste in Extreme Herbal Mint ($3.39, drugstores).

You're probably wondering how toothpaste can be glamourus. Well you can clean and whiten your teeth with this tingly minty toothpaste. It has an amazing minty taste that feels so refeshing.

No more smokey hair

I love to go out but the only thing I can't stand is my hair smelling smokey. As soon as I get home, I run one of the Umberto Giannini Glamour Hanky Pankies ($6, Rite Aid) scented sheets through my hair to take away the smell. The last thing I want to smell is smoke before going to bed.

It doesn't dry out my hair and it's easy to use. The Hanky Pankies sheets contain a de-odorizer that absorb the smell and not just mask it.

The best thing is you can stick one in even your smallest purse before you go out.

Va Va Voom Vanilla

I fell in love with this Ulta Va Va Vanilla Body Mist ($10.00, ulta.com or Ulta stores) when I visited a close friend in Phoenix, AZ. Since there is not a store near me I purchase it online.

Upon finding the body mist, I immediately fell in love with it, because the scent is luxurious and rich, which is rare from a body mist. Since it is a body mist, the scent is not overpowering. Another plus for this product is it's not tested on animals.
