The only lipstick you'll ever need {REVIEW}


I always look forward to trying out products and samples from bzzagent and was especially excited about the new Covergirl Blast FLipsticks. I was blessed with the absolute palest of lips, therefore I am a lipstick fiend!

I received: 820 Vixen. I really liked this one and I felt it was perfect for my skin tone. One dark pink and one light pink looks nice blended and I would buy this one for sure! The second is 840 Stunner. This one I feel like I can pull off, but barely. It is not something I would wear just because it was very orange-ish. Third is 855 Minx. Meh... Maybe if I had a darker complexion. Not sure if its good for my skin type, but it may work for you. What do you think? -------------------------------------------------->

Pro: They are definitely bold looking, Daring!
The various shades allows multiple looks all in the same day. 
Easy to carry & convenient having two colors in one tube.
Fairly inexpensive compared to the other brands.
Versatile

 Con: Must be mindful of lipstick rubbing onto your teeth.
Smudges easily. 
Doesn't seem to last very long.

To sum up, I loved the color ranges, and the glitzy glam feel it brought to my makeup, but wish it would be a more permanent stay - and I'd even be happy with the staining at that point!

I would, and probably will, buy more because I am a lipstick junky! :)

Feels so nice


As you may recall, I signed back up as a BzzAgent. I filled out my surveys, checked in regularly, and tried to keep my Bzz score high. Finally, I was emailed to participate in a few campaigns.  
Right On!
I love stuff!!


Last week my Covergirl & Olay products arrived. Aesthetically, are attractive. I love the swirly look to the foundation/base bottle and I’m a sucker for purple.

[Moment of truth] Time to try the product. 

Keep in mind that it has been years since I used Covergirl. I usually stick with Bareminerals or glo, which is another mineral makeup. I have not used liquid foundation since high school. 


Wow. What a difference. The Tone Rehab 2-in-1 was so much smoother than I had expected. It was light and covered all my revolting blemishes without using a concealer for acne. Then I topped it off with the pressed powder provided and voila! A work of art. The perfect base.

-you should probably ignore the pissy look on my face as i try 
to ignore the fifty plus questions coming from my daughter regarding why 
i keep stopping to take a picture of myself-


oh and what do we have here? A butt load of $2 off coupons! Email me if you want one and I'll try my best to get it in the mail to ya.

New to the blog: Product Review


Up To Tuesday: I love chiming my two cents in whenever I can (even if I have not been asked,) so I am STOKED to announce that I will start doing Product Reviews on here! *Happy Dance*


*Product Review Preview* First product up on the list is :COVERGIRL & Olay Luminous coverage for ageless, radiant looking skin. - Sounds snazzy, right? Plus, who doesn't love Ellen?

Once I get it in the mail, and try it out for a day or two, then I'll jump on here and blog-log it.

Full disclosure, I am going through a site called BzzAgent. Every heard of it? I used to be involved on this site years and years ago, but stopped for whatever reason. A couple months ago, I saw a few friends post things on their Facebook pages and I was like 'Oh Yea!' totally forgot about them. So I signed up again. My user names is GypsyB. I wanted you to know all this before hand so you didn't think I went and got all spammy on ya, because seriously, thats not going to happen. So who wants to have a little fun with me?! Totally Free. If you're interested, send me your email address, and I will send you an invite :)

If you would like me to review one of your products just shoot me an email and we can discuss.
