If you haven't been to CVS this week, get over there ASAP and scan your Extra Care card at the red scanner box, because you might receive a coupon for $2 off any beauty product with NO minimum purchase! This is basically free money for you to spend on a beauty product!
I had been wanting to try one of Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balms ever since I saw them pop up at CVS a few months ago (I'm a big fan of their liquid and bar soaps). Well, they retail for $2.69, so with that coupon I ended up paying just $0.69 for this one:
Dr. Bronner's Magic All-One Organic Lip Balm in Orange Ginger
(retail: $2.69 at CVS, 0.15 oz)
For those of you who don't live in San Diego, Escondido is a suburb of San Diego. I love that their products are made right here at home!
Here's my quickie review of this balm (I've only been using it for two days so far):
If you like the scent of real orange and real ginger, you're going to love the fragrance of this balm. To me, it smells divine! The flavor is VERY natural-tasting. This balm does not have sweetness (aside from the natural sweetness of orange and ginger oils). It does not taste like candied ginger or candied orange--it tastes like real ginger and real orange.
I find this balm to go on very easily; it glides across the lips with no tugging or pulling. It's creamy without feeling too oily. My one complaint is that it's a pretty thin balm, meaning it doesn't leave a thick, protective coating behind. My lips are eternally dry, so I like a nice, rich coating on my lips. I do find I have to reapply this product every two hours or so.
Other than that, I love that this product contains all organic ingredients (aside from the tocopherol, aka Vitamin E). And I also love that the first two ingredients are jojoba and avocado oils, since those are two of my favorite oils.
I absolutely don't regret this purchase--especially at just $0.69!
Have you scanned your CVS card this week? If so, did you get the $2 off beauty coupon?
Thanks for the heads up to scan our cards!
ReplyDeleteI have $5 in EBs that I got from scanning my card last week as the beauty club reward and I was wondering if I could use this $2 coupon with it?
Balls, I was just there yesterday and only got two useless (for me) coupons!
ReplyDeleteI do have $5 in beauty bucks though, that's pretty damn sweet. I *love* their beauty club. It's the best damn thing they've come up with. That's really all I buy from drugstores (and I mostly shop at CVS), aside from the occasional toothpaste or floss.
