Review | Downy Unstopables in-wash Laundry Scent Booster

Downy Unstopables Laundry Scent Booster (13.2 oz)

$6.99 at Target 

(We got ours on sale for $5.99 on 8/27)

I was perusing through the Target dollar spot the other day when I happened across a sample of this new product by Downy. (See product line here) It was a little sachet ($1) that contained enough for two loads of clothes. I was so pleased with the smelly-good-ness of my laundry that I ran back to Target the following day and bought a full size bottle. 

I'm not sure why - but I've never been very happy with the scent of my clothes when they are fresh out of the dryer. Maybe detergent/softener commercials have made my expectations too high? There is no snuggly bear when I remove my clothes! Flowers are not shooting through the air! I am not dancing in a field next to a clothes line with happy children running around! I disapprove of the lack of these things. -_-

These little scent booster beads by Downy have finally done the trick. (They don't create hallucinations - they just smell nice) I can leave the laundry room door open and our entire house smells like amazing things. (I believe this particular scent is Glow?) The sample I tried before I bought the full size was the purple kind - aka Lush? 

Somehow this product has made it pleasant for me to wash my family's clothes. This is a small miracle my friends. I find Downy Unstopables Laundry in-wash Scent Booster to be a very enjoyable product. Way to go Downy!

Review | Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. I bought this strictly because of the packaging lol. I mean look at it...

Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush

$11.99

The price I'm posting is straight off the Physicians Formula website. I actually snagged it over at Kroger for around $8-ish. (It had a coupon attached to it) I've also spotted it at Target with a coupon. As you can tell, I stalked this blush at several stores before I purchased it lol. I took the above photo after testing it a couple of times. The heel on the shoe isn't as sparkly as originally was. The whole thing is just so darn adorable! I guess I should talk about the actual blush? If I have to...

The shade I picked up is the "natural" shade. I regret choosing this one. I should have gone for the "rose." I'm pretty fair. (I'm trying to take care of my skin now that I'm getting close to the big 30) I will be 27 in September, kinda-not-really 30. So...very little sun for me. This blush barely does anything. I've actually decided to use it strictly as a highlighter. I'm pretty disappointed with it. I couldn't even get the swatch to pick up on camera. The below photo is the best I could manage. 

I will say that it smells divine. It claims be infused with pheromone mimicking ingredients. Let's just say it smells like warm vanilla and cocoa extract. I love it. I don't really understand what it's trying to accomplish though. Am I supposed to feel sexier? Is it supposed to turn my man on? My man was really weirded out when I asked him to sniff my face lol. So at least we accomplished that! Either way, it makes your face smell yummy which is a plus. 

What do I think? Let's break it down...

It's a bit on the pricey side.

The packaging = amaze-balls

The product = so so blush, nice highlighter

Would I re-purchase it when I run out? No.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! I have a "empties" post I am going to try and get up soon. :)
