Garnier Ultra Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Night Cream Review:

This cream costs exactly $14.47 at walmart

I got this face cream a week ago, and it says on the box that you’ll see results in five days.   I’ve been using it for seven, and I don’t see any results, but I can feel them.   By which I mean that my skin is softer and feels smoother than it did five days ago.  This was also the only cream that I was putting on my face, except for a one time use of Estee Lauder Advanced Time Zone.   The reasoning behind that was because I didn’t want any interference in my testing. 

The cream itself is heavy, which is to be expected since it is a night cream.  For me it was a little bit hard to get it to fully absorb into my skin.   I tried different amounts from what I normally put to a whole lot less and I still had a little trouble.  When I woke up the next day, I could still slightly feel it on my t-zone. 

My biggest problem with this cream is its smell.  Garnier usually has a typical fruitish smell to all of their products but this one is more like heavy hot plastic.  It’s not something that I can see myself getting used to; unless it after the jar is empty I see a vast improvement in my skin. 

As for the packaging, the jar is glass and the top is plastic.  It’s seems like a very durable jar, I don’t see myself breaking it, or it breaking if I were to take it on a journey with me.  It surprised me that it’s as heavy as it is, but that just makes me feel like it’s even more durable. 

When I use it all up, I’ll give an update on how much it worked for me, currently I would suggest it to a friend who was looking for a new night cream to try that is in the affordable drugstore range.

Shopping Haul!

Over the weekend I went shopping like always and I found a few cute items, I don’t have all of them in this post, but I have a new post coming up with the rest of my finding soon. 

I also bought two new things, and one thing in a different scent.  (Great explanation Ann…) 

First things first, the earrings!  I found these at target.  When I saw them I fell in love!   I spotted the cat ones first, and then I saw the bow ones and I just couldn’t choose between the two, so I bought both.  They cost $7.99 each, and I’m so excited to pair them with outfits.

I bought this deodorant on a whim.  I needed a new one, and I picked this one out because it said it was rose scented.  When I smell it, and wear it, rose is not what I get.  It’s very sweet, but not floral.  It also says that it lasts 48 hours, but it doesn’t.  This one also has an odd build up.  I don’t really know how to describe it, but it’s kind of like it balls up when it’s been on for a while.  My favorite one doesn’t say how long it last, but it does have some pretty strong hold.  I don’t think I’ll repurchase this one.  I’m not exactly sure on how much it costs, but it couldn’t be more than $3. 

This is my second box of these little wipes.  (Empties post coming soon.)  I like the wipes.  This scent is in fresh scent, and it smells a little citrus like.  I didn’t like the other scent, and I’ll go more into about this product soon.  I think I paid about $5 for them. 

I’ve been looking for a night face cream for a while now.  I’m a little weary of garnier products after disliking their BB cream so much, but I decided to give it a go because my sister told me that it’s a nice cream.  I also chose this one because it has retinal in it.  It says that you’ll see results in five days,  and when I do start seeing results I’ll be sure to tell you.   The only thing I currently don’t like about it is its smell.  It kind of smells like warm plastic.  Not nice.   This one was my priciest I paid exactly $14.47 for it.  That one I remember, because I was having a conversation in the face aisle with my sister about the outrageous prices.  (Yes, I know, they’re cheaper than what many buy. ) 

Anyways, have you ever tried any of the above products?  Let me know!
