My Favorite Health & Beauty Products are Frugal with a French Twist!

Hello all! Just wanted to stop by with a quick post about one of my favorite health and beauty lines. Most of you have heard of Mary Kay and I am sure all of you have heard of Avon. But have you heard of Yves Rocher? 

No, I am not some hokey paid spokeswoman. I am also not here to tell you how I now look 25 years younger using a European brand of wrinkle cream. Because you know it is impossible for me to look 25 years younger, since I am only 24….wink wink….nudge nudge…..

About a year ago my mom introduced me to Yves Rocher. I have learned a lot from my mom about taking care of my skin, since her skin honestly looks better than mine. The main lesson that I have taken away from observing her over the years, is the art of combining high end items with more budget-friendly products. Because when Crème de La Mer costs what it does per ounce, you will find yourself busting open that sample tube like it is the antidote to old age. 

That is where Yves Rocher enters the equation. These products have a distinctly more European feel to them than their more well-known counterparts. Just reading the labels of the products I have ordered, I have found they contain less ingredients overall and have a lighter fragrance. Sometimes when I shower or put on lotion, I do want some scent, but I don’t want to feel like I just rolled in potpourri while in a Yankee Candle store. 

The other reason I enjoy Yves Rocher is that the company appeals to the frugal “need to get a deal” side of me with coupons and freebies! Heck Yeah! Okay, so once you order something you will get these crazy mailers filled with 25 pieces of paper advertising products you might not need. However, every time you order, the site will: have a sale/clearance going on, have a coupon code for free shipping and will let you pick multiple freebies from bath salts to body lotions. 

While I have to admit, I still get most of my hair care products for pennies at CVS, my hypoallergenic deodorant at Whole Foods; I love grabbing a deal at Yves Rocher a couple times a year to change up my routine. Here is a link, so feel free to browse and check out their site!
