Ciate Velvet Manicure Giveaway

I am thrilled to announce Slices of Samantha's very first giveaway!! One lucky winner will receive one Ciate Velvet Manicure Kit in the color Mink Cashmere.  I'll just tell you already that I am jealous.  I have been dying to try anything Ciate and have never gotten a chance to.  Instead, I bought this product to give away to one lucky winner. Who ever wins will surely be rocking perfect holiday nails!

This giveaway is now open, so earn all the entries you can!  All entries must be received by December 4th at 12 A.M. CST, and soon after, one random winner will be announced.

Free Schick Razor at Walmart

Despite the fact  that this razor is two-bladed and not the best Schick razor out there, you certainly can't pass up a deal that makes the Schick Silk Effects Plus razor free-- actually better than free!  SmartSource currently has a coupon for $4.00 off any one Schick women's razor or refill, and Walmart sells this Schick razor for $3.98.  Since Walmart pays overages, that means that each Schick Silk Effects Plus razor purchase is a $0.02 moneymaker.  

Razors are expensive nowadays and this great of a deal (or steal) is rare to come by, so get to couponing quick!  Remember that coupons can be printed twice per computer.  Happy couponing!

Deal:         Schick Silk Effects Plus Razor $3.98 at Walmart
                           Use $4.00/1 Schick women's razor or refill
                           $0.02 moneymaker after coupon (not including tax)

Influenster Review: Sugar n' Spice Voxbox

What is Influenster?

Influenster is, what I would call, a word-of-mouth marketing website.  Members unlock expert badges, and to strengthen your badge scores members can write reviews of products, submit blog posts, submit youtube videos, complete surveys, etc.  In return for an active members' participation, Influenster will occasionally send members a voxbox filled with free products for review.  Visit their website for more information and to request and invite.

Sugar n' Spice VoxBox

Within a week of signing up for Influenster I was lucky enough to be invited to try out the Sugar n'  Spice VoxBox, and, everyday since then, I had been eagerly waiting for the package to arrive. And finally, after what seemed like forever, the package reached my doorstep.  Of course I then tried the products out, and now I am here writing my thoughts on these FULL-SIZE, FREE products!



Splenda Nectresse
I have always steered clear of using Splenda because of it being artificial and because of the bad things I had heard about it,  but, with the craze of natural sweeteners hitting the market recently, I was excited to try Splenda Nectresse.  Overall  I would consider buying any sweetener that is made from a fruit over the competing artificial sweetener, but the taste just doesn't compare to regular sugar.  For that reason, I am just not a fan of any sweetener other than plain, old sugar.

BelVita Breakfast Biscuit
Plain and simple: these cookies were delicious!
C
Colgate Optic White Regimen
The toothbrush, I loved;  It was probably the best toothbrush I have ever had.  But the toothpaste and mouthwash were absolutely horrible.  The toothpaste did not whiten my teeth whatsoever, and the mouthwash was unbearable due to the lemon juice/ hydrogen peroxide taste.  I have tried better whitening regimens than Colgate Optic White.

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer
This product was my least favorite product in this VoxBox.  I primarily didn't care for this product because it contains paraben.  Other than that, I just didn't get point of aerosol lotion, and the lotion, itself, was way too thin and watery to be an effective moisturizer. 

Dickinson's Witch Hazel Towelettes
The fresh-face feeling these towelettes gave me was wonderful, but the smell of the towelettes was so overbearing that I still haven't finished the box. 

Though I had varied opinions on the contents of the Sugar n' Spice VoxBox and didn't fall head-over-heels for any of the products, I do love FREE, FULL-SIZE products.  If you are interested in becoming an Influenster and reviewing free products, check out www.influenster.com.

Buzzagent Review : Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

What is BzzAgent?

BzzAgent is a word-of-mouth marketing website that facilitates a community of consumers who try products and give their honest opinions about them.  When you register for a free account, you then become a BzzAgent.  As a BzzAgent you take several, very short surveys that tell the website what interests you, and after some time you will be invited to join a BzzCampaign.  Once you join a BzzCampaign, you will be sent a BzzKit filled with free products, and in return all you have to do is share your opinions of the products on the website.


Only after about a month of being a BzzAgent, I have already been invited to two BzzCampaigns!  It's a really cool website and isn't time consuming at all. Get more information here, and sign up to get free products!


In addition to offering my opinions directly on bzzagent.com, I will be doing reviews of the products I receive, on Slices of Samantha, because they are often new products or products that haven't hit the shelves yet.  And after participating in the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil campaign, today I have, for you, my first product review!




About Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

This new, multi-use product provides everyday use for hair, body, and skin.  Use it to nourish your hair, as a body fragrance, or to combat skin dryness. Garnier Fructis says that the combination of olive oil, avocado oil, and shea oil work to transform dryness, all while this dry oil absorbs instantaneously and leaves no oily residue.

What I Experienced


My hair goes from sleek to tangled on a daily basis, so when I first received the product, I thought this might just be the product that gives me sleek hair for the entire day.  Unfortunately, I had mostly bad experiences with this product.


I first tried to use this product on my day-old hair...trying to revamp it.  When I sprayed my hair with the miracle dry oil and then straightened my hair, my hair absorbed way too much oil and turned my hair very greasy and stringy. Maybe it's because I have thin hair or maybe I sprayed too much, but, when used on dry hair, all of my attempts ended in overly oily hair. On the other hand, the product worked decently on damp hair. When I used the product on damp hair and then blow dried it, it actually did keep my hair soft and sleek all day long.


As for using the miracle dry oil as a body mist and for skin nourishment, I didn't care for the product at all. The smell of the product was not strong enough or good smelling enough to use it as a fragrance. And when I used the oil on my dry skin, I found that it didn't provide the long-lasting moisture I need.


Overall, I would probably not buy this product on my own.  But, thank you BzzAgent and Garnier Fructis for the free product.  Even though I didn't like the product, I loved being able to try out (especially since it was free)!  If you would like to try Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil or if you like other Garnier Fructis Products, use the link below to access a manufacturer's coupon for $1.25 off any one, full-size Garnier Fructis product.
