Affordable Fragrance Collection for Your Home: Glade Expressions

I finally got my first “homework” as a BzzAgent and I was (still am) stoked!

PRODUCT NAME:

Glade Expressions

SCENT AND VARIATIONS: Four Stars

I must admit…I am in love with Glade Expressions’ scents because it does not trigger/aggravate my sinus allergies and it lasts longer than other leading brands. My personal favorites are the “Pineapple & Mangosteen” and “Cotton & Italian Mandarin” scents. They smell so clean and so luxurious and I find these scents relaxing…not suffocating or over the top. I know…I have a very picky nose. =)

In addition to the scents that I have already mentioned, they also have Lavender & Juniper Berry and Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice. However, I have yet to find these scents because for some reason, the stores in my area favor Febreeze over Glade. They have Febreeze galore all over the place but carry very minimal Glade products. Oh well…I have two more Walmarts and one more drugstore to visit and hopefully they have the last two scents that I am very excited to get my hands on and try!

The only reason why I didn’t give this product five stars in the “Scents and Variations Category” is because they only have several variations. I dunno about y’all, but I am very adventurous when it comes to “smell good stuff” for my home. I love being able to pick from a wider range of scents and my choices all depend on my mood, the season, etc.

PACKAGING: Four and a Half Stars

Personally, I love how their oil diffusers look like because it echoes my design preference. It’s sleek, straight to the point as far as aesthetics go and it’s not bulky/clunky. Also, I love the fact that it doesn’t look kitchy at all. I also like the fact that their Fragrance Mists are “refillable” because that equates to “more affordable”. I’m a big fan of recycling and reusing stuff that I regularly use in my home and I applaud Glade for incorporating these features in this collection.

PRICE: Five Stars

Glade Expressions’ oil diffusers retail anywhere from $5-$8. Their Fragrance Mists retails for $3-$4…I think. My local Walmart was having a special on these items and were selling them for $5.98 for the oil diffusers and $2.98 for the Fragrance Mist Starter Kits. Like I mentioned earlier, both items are reusable…and refills are pretty cheap. I personally think that I am getting a lotta bang for my buck on these products. . For the quality of the product that you’re getting…it’s definitely worth your while.

FINAL VERDICT:

I can honestly say that I would buy these items again when I run out. I am not just stating this because I got them for free because hey…being a Bzz Agent is all about airing out your honest opinions about products. So yeah…TWO THUMBS UP for Glade Expressions!

Inexpensive Make Up Storage

I have been toying with different ideas on how I can properly store my makeup and my brushes. As we all know, make up palettes and tools can get very pricey...so it is a must for us to store them properly. 

 

Here are a few inexpensive storage solutions that I came up with:

 

   

Vases from Walmart's Floral Section - 97 cents each

Clear Crystal Beads from Michael's Garden Section - $2.98 

The pack of crystal beads from Michael's was originally $5.97 or something like that. I had a 50% off coupon tho (I never leave home without them), which brought down the price of my purchase to $2.98 (hey, every single dollar counts!). I suggest that y'all check their website for coupons before going on a shopping trip, specially if you're planning on scoring a big haul from their store. You can also download their mobile app like I did, so you don't have to print any coupons.I had my husband download their app too...so I can do separate transactions and use more coupons.

 Three-Tier Storage Trolley from Walmart - originally $19.97 but went on sale for a little over $16

 Moral of the story...?! We don't have to spend thousands of buckaroos on expensive/designer storage systems. All we need is a little imagination. Coupons and sales are a big help too! =D

Have a great weekend, y'all!
