Just the Goods - Vegan Cuts July 2014

Hey guys!  If you watched my video - the July Vegan Cuts product review - you'll see I didn't have all of the product info regarding the Just the Goods body lotion samples I received, so here is a quick up date.

I received 2 body lotion samples from Just the Goods in the scents lavender and peppermint.  I looked up the products on http://shop.justthegoods.net and found that there are several size options to choose from should you want to purchase this product.  Please note - I did not find the scents that I had received in my Vegan Cuts box.......

1 oz. - $2.00
4 oz. - $5.50
8 oz. - $8.50

Just the Goods is also running a promo:

$5.00 off any product purchase $50 or more!

And, as I stated in my video, I really like this lotion.  It is not greasy, it is quickly absorbed, and I really liked the two sample scents I received.

So, stay tuned to Simply Pru!  I'll have some more cruelty free product reviews and some great info for Thirty-One Gifts!!!!

Follow up info for Lip Glosserie

Greetings!  I hope this finds you all doing well on this glorious summer day!  Hopefully you watched my recent vlog on my thoughts regarding the product samples I received in my June Vegan Cuts Beauty box.  If you didn't be sure to watch that video - it's my review on the products I received and what I would and would not purchase for my cruelty free beauty stash.

One of the featured products was the Lip Glosserie lip balm in the scent Light Asian Pear.  I really like this lip balm - it's soft, it smells great and leaves my lips feeling.......well, yummy!  I Google'd the company to find out how much this product costs and where it can be purchased.  I came across the Lip Glosserie web site www.lipglosserie.com and read about the company and products.  Lip Glosserie is a woman owned (Jinny), small business based out of Austin, TX.  Jinny has lots of lip balms in all different scents available on her web site.  She also has body creams is different scents as well.  She makes all of the products herself and is the sole "employee" of the company. 


Anyways, I emailed Jinny to find out if her lip balms had any kind of SPF in them.  She promptly responded and was very sweet, but unfortunately, the balms DO NOT have any kind of SPF in them, which is kind of a bummer.  But this would not deter me from purchasing her product - I mean, I use lip balms at night before bed and don't really need an SPF for that! But, I do like to have a lip balm with SPF for use outdoors.  I don't want chapped lips......do you?  

So, back to Google I went in my search for cruelty free lip balm and found that Say Yes to Carrots has a lip balm with SPF!  Yea!  Perfect for those blistering summer days and brutally cold winters!
Now, I do not have this product, but on my errands today, I'm going to certainly look for this.  And of course I will let you know what I think.........So stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!

What is in my Vegan Cuts box

Hellooooooo!  And welcome to "What is in my Vegan Cuts box"!  I've been on a quest to find cruelty free/vegan beauty products and came across a company - Vegan Cuts - that will send you monthly beauty samples when you subscribe.  For $19.99 (free shipping) a month, Vegan Cuts will send you 4-7 beauty product samples that are cruelty free/vegan.  This is a great way to find new products without having to commit to a full size product only to find out that you really don't care for it.

For June, I received 6 beauty product samples:

Superchic Lacquer in Coming Unblued -  a light, shimmery blue nail polish
Pacifica Waterproof Eyeliner in Nude
NYL facial serum
La Fresh Nail Polish remover in the scent Fresh Tuscan Orange
Lip Gosserie lip balm in Asian Pear
Jane Carter Solutions hair butter

My plan is to test each of these products over the next week and then come back with an update of each product.  I will also include pictures of each sample and prices.

Stay tuned.........I'll be back!
