Review and Giveaway - Vaseline Sheer Infusion

I first noticed Vaseline Sheer Infusion when it was (and still is) a FREE after RR item at Walgreen's. They are $6.99 and when you purchase one you get a $6.99 Register Reward, essentially making the item FREE. Use the $1.00 off coupon from last Sunday's paper (10/18) and make $1.00. This deal is going on through 10/31. While still contemplating making this purchase myself, I was approached by Rocket XL to test all three types. They also have generously given me 3 full size bottles to giveaway to one lucky reader. Details below following the review...

Scent is an important factor for me in choosing a lotion. I like something that smells nice and works well. Vaseline Sheer Infusion comes in three scents:


Vitamin Burst - is a citrusy fresh scent


Botanical Blend - it a more flowery scent


Mineral Renewal- is a lighter flowery scent (I liked this one the best!)


What is different about Vaseline Sheer Infusion is that it claims to reach all three layers of skin - top, core, and deep down. I tested the lotion in the following situations:


Right before bed: When I woke up in the morning my skin still felt hydrated as if the lotion had just been applied.


My husbands dry knees and elbows: Holy cow! My husband has always had problems with dry knees and elbows. I give him regular "treatments" with different skin lotions and potions. The Vaseline Sheer Infusion seemed to soak in and cover better than other lotions I have used. My husband commented that his knees and elbows felt smoother the following day without having to reapply. Not bad!



My daugther's dry upper arms: My daughter has always had dry upper arms. I applied a small amount on her skin and even now a few days later they feel much more smooth and hydrated.


I would say that Vaseline Sheer Infusion is definitely superior to other lotions I have used in the past. It is more expensive, however, if you can use a coupon and stock up when it is on sale, it can be an affordable addition to your skin regimen.


Hurry by 10/31/2009 and go to Walgreen's and get some FREE after Register Rewards - and go HERE for a $1.50 off coupon, making this a MONEY MAKER!


Or you can just win some here :)! Here are the details of this GIVEAWAY:


I am giving a three pack of Vaseline Sheer Infusion lotions to one lucky reader. This will include all three scents in the 6.8 oz size.

...and the winner is...

Thank you to all who entered my giveaway! It was fun to read all of the comments - thanks for all of the encouragement. I know 30 will be great!

The winner of the awesome 13 going on 30 DVD is shannonjason who said:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!My 30th wasn't so bad...still hanging onto it until Nov 30th when I'll be 31.Best Wishes and thanks for the great giveaway!

Congratulations! I will be contacting you by e-mail shortly.

Here are some of my thoughts about turning 30 that I shared on my family blog earlier today (with a few modifications):

Why I loved my 20's -

I finally figured out who I am and what I want out of life. I feel like I really gained my testimony in my early 20's.

I met and married Nathan Wall. Looking back at that experience, I am so grateful for Heavenly Father who guided us to each other. We honestly barely knew each other when we got married, but we are so compatible it is ridiculous. He is my best friend - and isn't he gorgeous!?

I landed a great job that ended up being a huge blessing for our family and a great career for me. I know that Heavenly Father had a hand in this as well.

I was blessed with two BEAUTIFUL children. I am so grateful for the privilege of being a mother to these two special spirits. I love them so much!

We purchased our first home. We still love it!

Why I will love my 30's -

I will be able to live life and make decisions with the wisdom/mistakes of my 20's. Hallelujah!

My kids will not be teenagers yet! Owen will turn 13 about 3 months before my 40th birthday!

My kids will start to grow up and participate in things. Scouting, soccer, basketball, piano, dance, etc. They will also both be baptized in the next 10 years.

We will (hopefully) have more children. Our plan is for at least one more.

Nate and I will have our 10th and 15th wedding anniversaries. Some exciting milestones!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm...after careful consideration...I think my 30's are going to be okay!

Giveaway!

I am exactly one week away from my dreaded 30th birthday! I am not quite sure if I should celebrate or curl up into the fetal position and cry!

I have decided to celebrate by hosting a giveaway!


One of my most favorite movies of all time is 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner. When the movie is over I just want to jump up and cheer because everything works out how it is supposed to!

In honor of my 30th birthday I will be giving one lucky winner their very own DVD of 13 going on 30! You can enter from now until Friday, November 14th (my actual birthday!) at 3:00 p.m. I will choose a winner using random.org. I'm not going to make you work for too hard for this one, so here is how you can enter:

1. Just leave a comment and you are entered (please, please, please leave your e-mail address or a way to contact you by blog).
2. Blog about it on your blog and leave a comment with the link and you get a second entry.

This giveaway is for US residents only. I will notify the winner by e-mail on Friday, November 14th. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours I will choose another winner. Good luck!

I won again!!!

This is crazy! I just won another giveaway - I won a coupon binder last week. (I haven't received it yet, but I'll blog about it when I do.) This week I won an envelope of coupons from One Cheap Chick! It is so worth it to enter these blog giveaways!

And the winner is...(drumroll please)

The winner of my Burt's Bees Giveaway is Tami who said:

tami said...
my frugal tip- since i think all products are the same regardless of cost i shop the clearance sections with coupons and buy only what's on sale. i love burt's bees tho :)
October 2, 2008 9:41 AM

Great tip Tami! I'll be contacting you shortly.

Thank you so much for all who entered and left great frugal beauty tips. I was able to get some great ideas. Please keep checking Saving Some Green - I plan on having some more great giveaways...coming soon!

Just in case you were wondering...my best frugal beauty tip is - don't wear a lot of makeup. In my opinion, a little goes along way. I actually only wear eyeliner and mascara. I have been blessed (cursed!) with naturally rosy cheeks, so blush just makes me look ridiculous - clownish. I probably should wear eye shadow, but I have never found any that I think look good on me. I also just don't like the feel of foundation and I hate the way I look in lipstick! So there you have it!

More Giveaways!

Yippee! I love giveaways, especially since I won one last week!
