Suave Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion and Dry Body Oil Spray Review and Giveaway

      It's winter, and as much as I'd like to say that there weren't six more weeks of winter ahead, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, and it looks like we are in for cold weather for a couple of more months.  Living in the Idaho desert, winters are cold and dry; making my skin dull, cracked, and scaly. The constant hand washing that comes along with motherhood, paired with the sanitizing of cold and flu season, and it becomes nearly impossible to keep my skin hydrated.

     When I heard about new Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care line, I jumped on the chance to try it out.  

Here’s a bit of information about their new line:

         With new Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care,  women everywhere have access to premium products infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil

• NEW Suave Professionals^® Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion is a daily moisturizer that absorbs quickly for up to 24 hours of radiant, non-greasy hydration
• NEW Suave Professionals^® Moroccan Infusion Dry Body Oil Spray has a non-greasy formula that absorbs instantly and seals in long-lasting moisture

         New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care products, clinically proven to moisturize as well as Moroccanoil^®1 , feature a light, luxurious fragrance and are infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil, a lightweight miracle oil known to be rich in nutrients and antioxidants

      Non-greasy hydration is something I appreciate. I hate feeling like I can't touch delicate fabric of a sewing project, all because of my hand lotion. Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Lotion does indeed absorb quickly into your skin, and it has a wonderful scent. Sometimes lotion can smell too medicinal, or overly floral, this lotion doesn't have either of those problems. It is a light and very pleasant scent. I found that it did a great job moisturizing my skin all day long. 

      Baby oil gel had been one of my favorite moisturizers of the past, though I was often left feeling like a greased pig after application. So a dry body oil spray was something I was eager to try. It was easy to apply, and did a good job keeping my skin moisturized through out the day. Oftentimes along with having dry skin comes dull skin. The dry body oil spray seemed to add a nice subtle sheen to my skin, making it look healthier and more radiant.  When summer comes, and I’m once again donning shorts, capris, and bathing suits, this will make a great addition to my beauty routine. A nice glow makes even the pastiest of legs look much better.

       I love the scent of the moroccan argan oil. If you are looking for a moisturizer that you can use, and still wear your favorite perfume, this is it. You can spray it on right after the shower, rub it in, and it does a great job hydrating your skin. The scent is of the dry body oil spray is lighter than that of the body lotion, but both are very pleasant.

Love: Clean Dishes, A Good Deal, and Online Shopping

I like to think of myself as a bargain shopper.  I love a good deal.  A good deal however, isn't always the product that sells for the lowest price.  Don't get me wrong, my shopping cart is generally filled with quite a few store brand products, but if the store brand just doesn't get the job done, well, it's not a bargain.  The product should fulfill it's function.

I've come to realize that one product I will not cut corners on is my dishwasher detergent.  Having tried a number of different liquids, powders, and gel pacs, Cascade Complete Pacs consistently provide good results. The little pacs are easy to use, and don't make a mess.  My dishes go in dirty, and come out clean. And a big fat bonus, they smell great (I love the citrus as well). Sadly, when I've tried other products in the past, I haven't seen the same results, I may have spent a dollar less initially, but the bottle of soap is still under the sink, it didn't work, and had to be replaced.

In addition to offering great products, P&G is making their products  easier to access.  Their new P&G eStore is open, and offering several fantastic bundles and special offers through the month of August.
You all know how much I love shopping with kids.  Well, now when I'm dashing through the grocery store with the boys, I don't need to stress about remembering to pick up the Pampers, and the Tide.  If I forget them at the store, I can sit down at my lovely computer, and place my personal order, without the entire store having to hear my three year old's melt down (or mine).

One thing that I really love about the new website is that they have e-coupons linked with their proper product.  All you have to do is  put a little check in a box to say you'd like to apply that coupon to that product, and badda boom, badda bang, instant savings.  No more digging through the purse to find the coupon you've been carrying around for three weeks, only to find out it has expired.

 P&G has some more great incentives for you to check out their new store...

-Free Shipping on orders over $25

-10% Discount through August 31, 2012

-Lots of great Olympic themed bundles 

-If that's not motivating enough, they are going to give me a little commission on all orders that you purchase from their eStore, by clicking through the widget above-woot woot! (So make sure to shop through the widget :). 

Click on the widget above, check out their new eStore, and let me know what your favorite P&G products are.  (I also really love their Tide with Febreze....perfect for line dried clothes).  

I'd also love to know what your thoughts are about what makes a product a good deal, how much does price have to do with value?

Opinions are 100% mine.  I chose to write about the Cascade Complete Pacs, because I really do use them, and I really do love them!
