Glade Expressions(R) Collection

So, this bzz campaign was for Glade expressions. They have new products that look like home decor and are supposed to blend in with your regular decor. I received coupons for a free oil diffuser and a free mist as well as many coupons to pass out to friends and family. It took going to a few stores to find the fragrances I wanted to try. Because of my allergies I had decided I wanted to try the Pineapple Mangosteen and the Fuji Apple and Cardamom spice. CVS only had the cotton scent, so i ended up going to Meijer. They had all of the scents in stock, so I got the pineapple mist and the apple oil diffuser. They really did go well with the decor and look pretty, but I was more interested to see what they would do to my allergies. I will start with the Pineapple Mangosteen mist. I put the mist in the bathroom because the generally the place where it is needed most! :) It does look good in the bathroom, but I find the holder kind of pointless. If I was going to be the one paying for it, I would buy just a spray and not pay the extra for the refillable one. It does look prettier I suppose, but in my opinion isn't worth it. The scent is nice. It smells very sweet! I like it as opposed to the oil diffuser because it isn't a constant stream of fragrance into the air, it only smells when you spray it.
The oil diffuser is the one I got in the fuji apple and cardamom spice scent. It did look nice with my fall decor and smelled good, but it was sooooo strong. I had it in the living room for less than 5 minutes and my eyes were burning and my chest was heavy. I ended up putting it outside. I think I will take it to church and put it in the mens bathroom! :) I think no matter what the scent, I wouldn't be able to handle the oil diffuser because of the fact that it is a constant smell and not just occasional. So, in conlusion, I would not be purchasing the oil diffuser and probably not the mist either unless it was on sale. I prefer my scentsy because I can use more food scents to which I am not allergic.
