review: Designer Imposters perfumes and colognes (Walmart & Big Lots)

I found these fantastic DESIGNER IMPOSTER perfumes that smell just like the expensive brand names-

 $2.50 each at Big Lots and $8 at Walmart!

Dolce & Gabbana "Light Blue", Marc Jacobs "Daisy", Juicy Couture "Viva La Juicy"

Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce", Gucci "Guilty", Giorgio Armani "Code"

Thierry Mugler "Angel" smells just like the real thing, patchouli and chocolate (but fades quickly)

PLUS Walmart has this men's holiday gift set cologne trio for only $9!

Abercrombie & Fitch "Fierce" is my FAVORITE cologne! sometimes I spray it on me or my pillow before bed and have the sweetest dreams, mmmm! I wish more guys would wear this scent!

Imposter Chanel No. 5 and Coco Mademoiselle smell very, very close to the current watered down versions of the authentic Chanel perfumes. Coco Chanel would be rolling over in her grave is she could smell what her company is selling as "perfume" these days! Perfume companies periodically re-formulate their scents because ingredients become too expensive or federal regulations outlaw particular chemicals- so the original (year 1919) animalistic Chanel #5 is not the exact same scent as the perfume being sold in stores today (year 2015). And this sad fact is a huge reason I won't pay full price for perfume in stores- I'd rather buy the older, original versions at garage sales; or at least pay discounted prices at stores like TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Ross. BUT these Designer Imposter fragrances are so fantastic :-) lol I'm definitely not shelling out for the real thing if there's a scent imposter instead!

Hello, my new most *favorite* things ❤

Hands-down the most surprising Designer Imposter I LOVE is Clinique "Happy"- I don't remember the original Happy smelling this GOOD! It smells so fresh and delicious and beautiful! I find myself wanting to wear this scent all the time :-)

🌼 🌼

BLACK FRIDAY HAUL: Target, Walmart, Big Lots, Dollar Tree, Walgreens

TARGET: Santa suit and elf costume pajamas, with cute matching slippers!

Eggs and bacon, t-bone steak,and sushi socks, YUMMY!

DOLLAR TREE: these jewelry holder trees look super cute, right? but they were cheap, flimsy plastic :-(

Also picked up some green *sparkly* Milani nail polish for the holidays, and Sally Hanson gel nail stickers.

Disney Frozen tins (Olaf) with Q-Tips inside, "Style My Way" fun tattoos and gemstone stickers

WALMART: these accent warmers plug into the wall which is super convenient since I don't like burning candles around my pets. Plus they're only "on" when you have the light glowing, so you shouldn't easily forget to turn them off before bed. This might be a problem if you have kids and they think it's a 'night light'... but...

maybe you just need smarter kids! -LOL SORRY NOT SORRY I SAID THAT!!

I got the "Flutter n Posies" accent warmer that's like a metal tube with butterflies and flowers cut out. When the light is turned on it makes really pretty reflections on the wall. The warmer scents I bought (Walmart changes their selection every season) are sweet pea, peaceful waters, banana bread pudding, enchanted pumpkin valley, and comfy & cozy. The "Comfort&Cozy" one smells so clean, it's perfect! Like a blanket that came fresh out of the dryer. Not strong or overly irritating to my eyes at all :-) I will definitely stock up on this scent for year-round use.

 

BIG LOTS: Maybelline eyeshadow trio "Crown Jewels 20T" (looks like shimmery Neapoliton ice cream)

WALGREENS clearance: Ever Pure 8 in 1 color miracle hair mist, Wet n Wild Fergie "Come Correct" concealer and shimmer "Take on the Day" eyeshadow primer (I expected better sales at Walgreens, boo!)

more WALMART!
