Gucci Flora Garden Collection - Sample Giveaway

Hi Ladies & Gents!

(Im not sure there are actually any "Gents" that read my blog, but yay for political correctness!)

Once again, I have another blog pertaining to some free Swag provided by BzzAgent. The lovely people there shipped me a pretty little box, filled with pretty, girly, smelly stuff. The new Gucci Flora Garden Collection. (AND, they made sure to have it delivered to me before Mother's Day, to make as a nice addition to my Momma's gift.)

Momma was very happy with the Gucci Flora Garden Collection, and quickly chose  Glamorous Magnolia as her favorite. Her Mother's Day box is pictured below. ;)



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following is information taken directly from my BzzAgent Campaign Homepage:

Express yourself
Inspired by one of Gucci's most iconic designs, Flora by Gucci: The Flora Garden Collection is a bouquet of refined eau de toilettes, designed to express the multi-faceted personality and depth of emotion of every woman. Glamorous, Gracious, Gorgeous — each fragrance is distinct, yet together all the scents embody the beauty and allure of Gucci's renowned Flora pattern, originally designed for the charismatic Princess Grace in 1966. Explore each bloom, and express your loveliness, with Flora by Gucci.

Flora by Gucci: The Flora Garden Collection is available in three distinct floral fragrances:

Glamorous Magnolia
A brilliant opening of buoyant freesia, zest and green leaves yields to a tactile fusion of peony and magnolia. Sandalwood, musk and warm chocolate lend sensuousness to a base that proves as lingering as it is addictive. Glamorous Magnolia celebrates the magnolia in all its guises: radiant freshness, velvet petals and an enduringly feminine sensuality. Glamour is assured.

Gorgeous Gardenia
A sparkling prelude of succulent red berries and juicy pear gives way to an opulent floral heart. The plushness of gardenia petals is enhanced by the creamy warmth of frangipani flower, underlaid by the delectable aroma of patchouli and brown sugar. Gorgeous Gardenia is a paean to the lightness of the shrub's first blossom and the addictive richness of it in full bloom. The result is gorgeously feminine.

Gracious Tuberose
A distinctively elegant tuberose in which a verdant overture of violet leaves and peach softens into the plant's silken blossom. A base of white cedarwood and cistus enhances the impression of refined charm. Gracious Tuberose embraces all aspects of the flower's loveliness: its fresh green shoots, dew-sprinkled petals and lingering sillage. The effect is the most gracious aura.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine - Review and Giveaway


So, I love BzzAgent. I know Ive bragged about this particular website before, but Im going to do it a whole lot more.....again and again. I FREAKIN' LOVE BzzAgent. They continuously hook me up with cool Swag, and all they ask in return is my honest opinion. So Kiddos, lets get down to it!

Earlier this month I had a nice BzzKit in the mail with my full sized samples of Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine. Garnier states these few claims in reference to Sleek & Shine on their website:


Get the most intense smoothing yet from Sleek & Shine Shampoo.

Now it locks out frizz for a full 3 days, even in 97% humidity.

FORTIFIED FRUIT SCIENCE
Ultra-smoothing Argan Oil from Morocco
Apricot Oil

Now, in order to honestly review, Im going to give you some quick background history on my hair, and the environment It lives in. (My hair is SO big, it literally lives in it's own environment. It has a life of it's own, seriously.)

I have big, thick, Texas hair. It comes to about the mid-point of my back, and frizzes in every other way/direction it so well pleases. I live in Texas, where humidity is like a season all to itself, that unfortunately lasts nearly all year long. To tame my "do" I use Head & Shoulders shampoo, and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle to condition, daily.

I was worried as to whether or not I should change up my system. My Hair seems to be quite content with the products It currently uses. But, Im a BzzAgent, BzzAgent's arent scaredy cats! My Hair compromised, and we tried out the Sleek & Shine conditioner in lieu of my Aussie product. Garnier Sleek & Shine conditioner has a great smell to it, nice and fruity, so no worries there. Its creamy, and seems to lather very well. Rinses out easily, no problems there either. After my blow dry, I straightened My Hair, and stepped outside. Usually, this is the part where My Hair grows ten feet, but after several uses of Garnier's Sleek & Shine conditioner, it only grows to about nine and a half feet. Sooooo, not a major difference in the frizz department, as Garnier claims. But I will say, my hair does feel much softer, and I did receive compliments on it. ;)

Also, please keep in mind that I DID NOT use the conditioner in conjunction with the Garnier shampoo. Im sure this did have an effect on the total outcome. 

I will not be replacing my Aussie product, cause I love it to pieces. BUT I will however, begin alternating with Garnier Sleek & Shinen conditioner. It has a nice smell to it, I seem to be finding great sales on Sleek & Shine, and it leaves my hair pretty dang soft. ;)

So, do you Dear Readers like nice smelling fragrances, want to kick frizz's tush, fancy a soft fluffy "do" of your own? Now is your chance to try out Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine for yourself! One lucky winner will receive a full product of Garnier Sleek & Shine Shampoo, and one full product of Garnier Sleek & Shine Conditioner.
