Fruits & Passion Sale ~ Review

This past weekend Fruits and Passion had this crazy sale.
I could purchase any nourishing butter for $5 with any purchase.
There was no minimum.

I purchased their new Cucina Hand Cream - Origano and Green Citrus for $2 (promotional) and Shea Nourishing Butter for $5 (Reg $22.5).

I think their new hand cream is OK.  My hands smells like herbs like I was working in the garden.
The Shea Nourishing Butter is another OK product.  It has a strong sweet smell which I neither like or dislike.

This has temporary satisfied my hand cream addiction.

In Heaven at Chapters Indigo

The Indigo I went to is one of the massive ones.
Two floors and a small main floor.
My daughter always want to go to their toys section.
I dont mind because there is so much to see.

Yes, I am a Geek and had to take some pictures of the Star Wars items they have in stock.
Warning: there are lots of photos  :)

I love bento boxes

I would love to purchase this for my daughter

So cool

Would anyone purchase them?

Who remembers these guys?

Found another Star Wars section in the store

L'Occitane Sale

About a month ago or so, L'Occitane was having a sale.
You could save up to 50% off.
In additional I was able to receive 10% off because I subscribed to their emails.
Even after the discount I've found their products over my price range so I settled for their Lip Balm: Rose Pivoine - Teinte 3.
The bill ended up to be C$8.14 incl taxes.
It is OK...it is not as good as the ones I already have.
However, I still like their hand cream :)

Vichy Event at Rexall

A few weeks ago I was at a Vichy event at Rexall.
I described my skin concerns and in the end he gave me quite a few samples to try.
Its so easy to get samples of Vichy without going to an event.
Just talk to one of the SA and they are usually have a ton of samples in stock at the store.

It was my first time trying the Light Weight Sunscreen. I cant believe how light it was.
Unlike your usual sunscreen that is thick and takes forever to rub it in, this one is very watery.
It blends into you skin very fast and does not leave your face all greasy and oily.

I also like the Normaderm.  It really hydrates my skin without the greasyness.
Once I in dire need of face cream, I think I will purchase this product unless something else draws my attention.

This is makeup remover I have yet to try.

Yes, I have already tried this product before.  I am not going to say no to free samples of ProEven

Aqualia Thermal Aqua-Gel - I have yet to try.
I am not sure if I was suppose to receive this sample but I am not complaining.

I really enjoyed receiving all these samples.
It was well worth it.
Would I attend another event?  Yes!  Free Samples!!

Another Day at Winners

I need to stop going to Winners.
I cant resist not going.  There is always something there.
I didnt purchase any of what I photographed.  Believe me, I wish I could.
