Mamas Review: Purex Complete Crystals

April 2011

Easy

So unless you have been living under a rock, you know about Purex Complete Crystals. And you probably have a bottle that you got for free or really cheap sitting in your laundry room. So I wanted to do a review on it!

This might be a really short review because I have to say overall I was pretty happy with it!

Here are just a couple of negatives that I found: 

It says on the bottle the sent will last for weeks, I'm not sure if they did tests in an airtight room with no other smells around or what, but it doesn't last that long. I could still smell it on our clothes after five days and that was about it. I am ok with five days because by that point our clothing is probably already being washed again! I do wish it came in a bigger bottle I am not through my first bottle yet... but I highly doubt it is going to last 32 loads like it says. (maybe I just use too much, who knows)

All in all though I definitely like it and I wish I had stocked up on more! It smells really nice and works well! And the best part, it's been free at almost every store recently!

If you want to try it out for yourself; right now you can get a coupon for $1/1 here and there is a $2/1 from the RP 3/13 exp. (4-30-11).

I haven't gone to Target yet to double check prices, but you are supposed to be able to get this deal right now:

  • Buy Purex Complete Crystals Softener $2.99
  • Use $1/1 Purex Complete Crystals Target Coupon (under Household)
  • Use $2/1 Purex Complete Crystals (RP, 3/13)
  • Final Price: FREE!

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.)
