Mamas Review: Finesse

February 2011

Easy

As couponers we have the great opportunity to try new products for free or at a great discount. So every month I will be reviewing some of these products so you can find out more about them!

Today's Mamas Review is on Finesse. This obviously isn't a new product, but it's new to me and I was able to get it for free with the deal here.

So this was the first time I had tried finesse and I used the texture enhancing conditioner, extra control mousse and extra hold hairspray. Here is what I thought of each product:

Texture Enhancing Conditioner - I was surprised how well this worked on my hair (I have really thick hair that has a mind of it's own) It did make my hair softer and a little bit more manageable. There was only one thing I hated about it, and unfortunately it was kind of a big deal. It stinks! I couldn't stand the smell. Maybe I will get used to it, but it's bad! So if you are willing to overlook the smell, I would say it's a pretty good product.

Extra Control Mousse - Lately I have been trying to work with the natural curl in my hair, so I am using a lot of mousse to keep it under control. So I was thrilled when I was able to get these because I was starting to run out of my Herbal Essences Mousse (that I got for free on another deal). This also worked really well, it held in my hair and lasted the whole day. It was just as good as any other mousse I have tried. The only problem once again was the smell! I don't know who created the smells for Finesse, but they are bad. So once again great product, bad smell. 

Extra Hold Hairspray - I have to say, for the most part to me, hairspray is hairspray. I have never been really surprised or super happy with one particular brand. So I thought this worked just fine. It held in my hair well and kept my hair up all day. And out of the three products it smelled the best, probably because it doesn't soak into your hair as much. 

So to simply put it, all three product worked great they just didn't smell good. I definitely don't regret getting them and I will continue to use the ones I have because they do work. (I will just have to try to ignore the smell.)

Mamas Spotlight: Look What I did today! Smith's

Beginner

I went to Smith's today, to check out their "Double Your Savings Event". Where if you buy Buy 10 participating items, you save $3 instantly" and also get a $3 catalina at check out. I planned on getting a lot more, but unfortunately they were out of a lot of stuff (that's what happens when you wait till Friday).

Here is what I did get:

Final Price: $16.50 for 30 items! That's around $0.55 an item! Not too bad, I think this might be the lowest price I have had on Totino's Pizza's.

I did three separate transactions of ten items at a time. I got $3.00 off for each transaction and a $3.00 catalina for each transaction. Not everyone can do exactly what I did, we have quite a few computers at our house, so I was bale to print off enough coupons to do this. If you find that you always are in need of more printable coupons, try asking friends and family if they can print some for you.

If you have a deal you would like to share, please email me here.
