so much ebay, so little time

Remember those great hand wash/candle combo packs, and the amazing "where the crap did this come from years later!?" mistletoe and snowy days hand wash I recently posted about being sold over on ebay?

Well, they have more! Like, tons and tons more! I just lust my mistletoe hand wash, and want to buy everything else up! But then I realize I sorta need money for groceries, and have to step back and take a deep breath. Darn, being an adult sucks! But hey, my greedy loss is your gain!

Looking for (see above pic) these great (and so old school! Like 2005!) holiday three packs of snowy days/hollyberry/mistletoe hand wash? What about some lavender + juniper dryer sheets? Or fig plug-in refills (Karin! Calling Karin!) Well, snatch some up! Cause they have them! (and some are at "or best offer" prices! I'm really curious how this works? So if anyone does this, let us know how it works out!)

Head on over now and you'll see the full method offerings from this particular seller! I'm not sure how she's managed to stock pile all this stuff, but I'm jealous! Enjoy! (And most are "Buy It Now" prices, meaning no auction waiting! Yay!) You think I could get a free snowy days hand wash out of this ebay seller promotion? Ha ha! Eh, I didn't think so. Double darn!

u review! + contest!

method lust wants YOU! - To review, that is! Well, and to bring me chocolate chip cookies and a large glass of milk, too! MMM, cookies.

sunshine + cleaning = method!

Oh what a really great deal! method's just let the cat out of the bag on their people against dirty blog that if you purchase the Sunshine Cleaning DVD at Target starting Tuesday, August 25th, you can find a nifty booklet inside with $10 in method coupons! (PS - Don't put cats in bags! It's cruel and mean! Hmm, I wonder how that phrase ever got started? I probably don't want to know...)

"we’ve teamed up again with our friends behind the adorably dark movie sunshine cleaning, starring amy adams, emily blunt and the uber-talented alan arkin. if you missed it in theaters, hightail it over to target starting tuesday, august 25, where you can purchase the movie on dvd or blu-ray.

the film is great, and the best part, in my humble opinion, is what’s inside the box: a method coupon booklet with $10 in discounts on Method products from target. don’t you love target? it’s my happy place. grab sunshine cleaning for movie night, crack that dvd box open to get the coupon book, stock up on your favorite method goodies, then swing by the snack aisle for popcorn. mmm, popcorn."

Make sure to head on over to their blog, and read not only what the movie is about, but view some cool shots of the red carpet premiere, complete with method goodie bags! (Ooh!)

I'm curious if these coupons are product specific, or just generic "save this much off a method product" type discounts. If anyone picks this up, let method lust know! Thanks!

hsn - 7-piece detox!

+ More HSN goodness! Hey readers, I'm curious, does anyone still watch these HSN videos when I put them up here on method lust (since there are like a zillion now!) or should I wrap these up? Let me know!

one man review - hand wash

Wow! It's been a while since our last one man review, hasn't it? Man, that Nathan is a no good lazy bleepity bleep! I swear... I'm gonna give him a real good talkin' to! Until then, though, why don't we just review ourselves some hand washes!

Today is a double dip one man review! Not one, but two hand wash scents! Whoa whoa, calm down there fellow luster! I know how excited you are, but really, chill out. Take a deep breath, grab some water, and see what I thought of both the new "guest star" mandarin mango, AND the old school vintage holiday mistletoe (I just got it yesterday in the mail! Yay!) hand wash!

+ The new mandarin mango method hand wash is out now in stores. It's labeled as a "guest star" meaning limited edition, so it won't be around for long! I picked up a bottle recently, and while not being a fan of fruit scents, I really like this one! As I've mentioned before, it sorta reminds me of orange Kool-aid. Is that a good or a bad thing, that's up to you! There is definitely a mandarin/orange top note; with the underlying mango coming in near the end - giving it a little extra burst of fruit freshness! I have to say I actually like this mandarin mango a whole lot more than method's ginger yuzu. Of course I like orange scents, so it's just a personal preference. The mandarin mango hand wash is available in gel wash only, exclusively at Target stores. I'm giving it a 4 out of five!

+ Second up is the vintage method holiday mistletoe hand wash! This was recently discovered available on ebay, and while you end up paying a tad bit much for hand wash (due to the shipping fee) if you're a diehard method fan like me, you just HAVE to try out this scent! The back of the bottle actually lists it as having been released in 2005! This was one of the few scents that ACTUALLY made it out before I got into method (sacrilege!) so I simply had to snatch up a bottle! I got it in the mail yesterday, and was all giddy and giggly!

The bottle is this cute light holiday-ish green, and it has these little white ornaments printed on the front of the bottle (like all bottles in the early holiday lines.) I have to say the scent is really light! Now, I honestly can't say if this is because it's an older product, and the scent has waned over the years, or if this was how the product was produced. So for the sake of my review, I'm just going with this being the mistletoe scent. Honestly, it sorta reminds me of frosted fir mixed with cut grass (no joke!) and then have the whole scent taken down by 50%. Subtle, but nice! And seriously, if you're a cut grass aircare fan, you will REALLY like this. The more I smelled it on my hands after I had washed them, the more I thought it reminded me of the cut grass scent. It's green, grassy, with just the tiniest touch of sweet. I say give it a try, while you still can! The mistletoe hand wash is only available via ebay (as far as I know. Though method lust reader Rhonda let me know she found a bunch of holiday packs, some featuring mistletoe, recently at a Salvation Army in Chicago! So who knows where else you might find it. But this scent hasn't been produced to my knowledge, since 2005.) It's available in gel wash only (as they didn't even have foaming and creamy hand wash back then! Wow!)
I'm giving it a 3.5 out of five! I think it's a really nice scent, but method has since improved upon the idea with frosted fir.

ebay candle + hand wash sets!

Ooh, more ebay goodies and deals! I thought this was a great deal, you get both a candle AND hand wash, for almost less money than just the candle cost in retail stores (and now with the aircare candles seemingly discontinued, it's an even BETTER deal!) - AND free shipping! Don't miss out!

+ method hollyberry candle and gel hand wash - $8.99 (Buy It Now Price) + FREE! shipping - Six sets available! (The candle comes in the holiday round ceramic candle jar. I love these jars, you can use them for so many different things once the candle is gone!)

+ method sweet water candle and gel hand wash - $8.99 (Buy It Now Price) + FREE! shipping - Three sets available! The candle comes in the regular ceramic candle jar.)

vroom vroom!

Ya know, I have some news. I just got a new car! Like, just just! Last Tuesday, to be exact. 2010 Kia Forte! And yes, I still lust telling everyone "I have a car that isn't even out yet!" Cause you know, it's a 2010, and it's only 2009, and so see... ah alright, never mind.

This happens to be the first car I've ever purchased all by myself. So while I've gained eight ulcers, I'm excited! (And now perpetually in fear of losing my job! I think that happens anytime you get a new car, house, something big. All the sudden you're not able to sleep nights cause you're trying to figure out how you'll live in your car if you lose your job; and the fact that the bank will now TAKE your car cause it's new and you're paying on it; and you will in fact NOT be able to even live in your car! Whew, just breathe, just breathe.)

Where are you going Nathan? Here! So I whipped out my old school (secret method brand) vroom car care products this past weekend. Now my trusty, but also dirty old truck didn't get cleaned that often; but now I'm wanting to make sure Mr. New stays spotless. And what a better way to do this than taking the vroom all purpose car spray cleaner, and giving it a spot cleaning! I lust it! (I'm sure many car cleaners come in spray nozzle form for just this reason. But honestly, I have no idea, as I've never really shopped for these products.) So while I still really wish method would rethink their car care brand (it rocked! Add some tried and true method scents to the cleaning line (as the actual cleaners were scent free for some reason) and I just know you'll have a hit!

Until that time though, you can pick up your very own old school vroom car cleaning kit on ebay! So snatch it up (before that other method advocate does! You know you want to beat them to the punch! Then you can drive your nice shiny car past their house one day and gloat. Oh, uh, not that I'd ever do a thing like that, no sir'ree! Nah. No way.)

+ vroom (method) car wash kit - $19.99 (Buy It Now Price) + $12.49 shipping - This kit comes with one 25 FL. OZ. car wash concentrate, one 16 FL. OZ. spray bottle of protectant, 25 Count All Purpose Wipes and one Microfiber Wash Mitt.

sea what's new for you

UPDATE Just found out officially from method that sea minerals multi-surface cleaner will be available at Target, and it started hitting the stores yesterday! So be on the lookout! (I checked today cause well, I'm nuts! But didn't see any!) Let us know if you find some! (And what you think!)

+

Are you ready? Cause method's got a new multi-surface cleaning spray scent on the way! Well... not really "new" but still. Sea minerals is coming to multi-surface! method says:

"This is (a rendering) of our newest all purpose spray scent ... sea minerals! It has been so popular as a hand wash scent we decided that our "people against dirty" might want to clean their homes with it as well."

What do you think? Excited? I gotta say, I'm not really a big sea minerals fan, but apparently there are lots of them! So I should just keep my mouth shut. Do you like sea minerals? Would you rather method whip up new scents, or reuse your favorites in different products? I'll be really curious to see if this scent replaces one of the four mainstays; or is in addition to; OR is a store exclusive (as is their ginger yuzu multi-surface cleaner, sold at Whole Foods.) I'll let you know as I get more information. Not sure when we should expect this to hit the stores, either. To be continued!
