Downy Wrinkle Releaser - A Must Have

Are you traveling this holiday season? Then, you won't want to leave without packing a travel size bottle of Downy Wrinkle Releaser.

We have been using this product for years. You can tell by the evolution of the packaging, all of which we have owned. (A little proof that we are loyal users of this product.)

Downy Wrinkle Releaser, Travel Size.

The travel size bottles above  are 3 oz. The most current packaging is on the right. This size currently meets TSA standards for carry-on baggage as long as it's in a clear Ziplock bag and put through security per their instructions. You can find it in the travel item section of Target, or get a large bottle in the laundry aisle.

Downy Wrinkle Releaser

Why We Love It: This product gets the fold marks out of clothes that were tightly packed in a suitcase. It refreshes your clothes, and you don't have to iron. The large bottles work great at home too!

To Use:  Hold bottle a few inches from your garment, and spray. Tug lightly on your clothing to smooth. That's it! The video below made us smile, and illustrates proper use.

Notes: We have tried Downy Wrinkle Releaser on every type of fabric we own: Dry clean only, silks, cotton, denim, and more. We have never had an issue. If you are unsure, test it in an inconspicuous place. The spray has a pleasant, unisex, fresh laundered scent that is not overpowering.

Cons: Downy Wrinkle Releaser won't give you the perfect, crisp look of ironing. It does, however, make your clothes passable and virtually wrinkle-free where you use it.

The first commercial for Downy Wrinkle Releaser (waayyyy back) originally showed a teenage boys spraying it on dirty clothes. We thought it wasn't something we would ever try, until a friend who hates ironing recommended it. We've been using it ever since. People always borrow it when we travel, so get your own bottle (especially if you have teenage boys.) LOL.

This product definitely gets a Glambo Kiss of Approval!

Essie Gold Nuggets and Baby's Breath - Lilly Pulitzer for Target

Greetings! We were lucky enough to purchase a few Essie polishes from the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection earlier this week. (If you haven't heard about the 'flash sale' chaos, click here.)



Lilly Pulitzer for Target. Essie nail polishes: Baby's Breath and Gold Nuggets, against exclusive Nosey Posey fabric.

Lilly Pulitzer is known for her happy, beach-style prints. Every tag on Essie's exclusive polish reads, "Palm Beach is a state of mind." We photographed our lacquers against the colorful 'Nosey Posey' pattern and 'Sea Urchin,' both exclusive to Target.


Lilly Pulitzer for Target. Essie Baby's Breath lacquer against exclusive Sea Urchin fabric.

Baby's Breath is a not-too-bright-white, without looking beige. It's pretty on it's own, or as a base for nail art or the glittery Gold Nuggets polish.

Gold Nuggets has a clear base and fine, not-too-brassy gold shimmer. They look nice in the bottles, but we like them better on our fingers.  

Stay tuned for additional reviews and for information about our #LillyforTarget giveaway coming soon.

Lilly Pulitzer for Target

By now, you have heard about the Lilly Pulitzer limited edition line for Target that sold out like a flash sale.

We ventured into our local Target stores on Monday, expecting to see empty shelves and large signage with no merchandise just like the 2011 Missoni Target sale. Instead, there was no evidence that Lilly Pulitzer products had ever been there. With over 250 products mixed in with regular merchandise throughout the store, the Targets we visited looked like they had never even carried one Lilly Pulitzer item (and we looked in two states!)

The Target employees told a different story:  Black Friday style lines waiting for the store to open; Everything selling out in just minutes. One manager was overheard saying, "That line may have just saved our sales. I hope there isn't a rush of returns." (That's doubtful.) A cashier stated, "I've never even heard of this woman! I don't understand why it was so crazy!"

Lucky us! We Glambo Girls accidentally scored! We found a dress in our size on the go-back rack in the dressing room. As we were doing our regular Target shopping, we discovered an end-cap with some pretty Essie polishes. Guess what?! They were Lilly Pulitzer! We bought a few colors to add to our collection AND some to host a Glambo Giveaway!! We have nail files for a few of our lucky readers too!

Give us a few days to swatch our polishes and post pictures. The giveaway info will be shared soon.

If you were lucky enough to find some #LillyforTarget pieces, just be aware. There is a shorter 14 day return policy for this line. That is, if you haven't already sold it on EBay for double what you paid. ;)

Stay Tuned!

Revlon Custom Eyes at Target

Two Glambo Girls walk into a store... They each have different complexions and skin tones, yet they both independently pick out the exact same set of eyeshadows. Sounds like the beginning of a bad bar joke, right?

It's true. We wanted to try Revlon Custom Eyes and were both drawn to the neutral set of colors exclusive to Target. We applied it several times and compared notes.

The set includes a black, great for using as a liner or a smokey eye; a glittered gold, used for the inside corner of the eye, but beware, that glitter travels onto the rest of your face; a taupe for the base of the lid, which we really liked; a white shimmer, which we used under the brow line; and a brown with gold glitter flecks. The brown didn't go on as dark as we thought it would, and the glitter didn't really transfer onto the eyelid. We used the applicator that came with the set a few times, then switched back to our usual make-up brushes. The brown applied better with our version.

It opens from the side, not the top of the shadows.

After using Revlon Custom Eyes for quite some time, we noticed the guide on the back. Turns out, we were using all the colors in the 'correct' suggested places.



Application Guide for Revlon Custom Eyes


We both liked the neutral tones. Like most eye shadow sets, we continued to use some colors more than others. We eventually added a shadow that we already had to create our daily look. For a drug store brand, we liked it, and would buy it again.

Mad Dash for Missoni at Target

The empty accessories rack

                                            

All you frugal fashionistas out there, get thee to Target QUICK! Missoni has come up with a collection for Target and it is selling like there's no recession.

Today was the first day the collection was released in my local Target, and I made the mistake of waiting until noon to go. Most of the shelves looked like the one above--EMPTY! There were a few things left in the kids area, and a couple of rain galoshes.

Missoni Toddler Girl

It looks like they had womens skirt and tops, and leggings in the cute Missoni knit style. There were also some Lounging shorts and pants sets. In addition, there was a sprinkling of Missoni all over the store--kidswear, cosmetic cases, stationary items, accessories (which were ALL gone), and servingware in the household section (2 glasses remained).

Ransacked Missoni Rack

Amazed, I asked my cashier when they had put their Missoni out , thinking I must have been mistaken on the release date being today.  She confirmed that it was today. She told me that there was a huge amount of shoppers first thing this morning, and a rush on all things Missoni. She said lots of people were spending upwards of $600 on all of their finds.

So funny, it's 100 degrees outside, and there was a run on sweaterwear here.  It's official, Missoni for Target is HOT,

So get down there now if you want to get your hands on some.

Or try online, but I suspect there's a run for it online, too, as this is the message I just got on Target.com :

woof!

We are suddenly extremely popular.
