Now this BuzzAgent is testing CoverGirl BlastFlipStick! Who am I kidding?! As soon as my Covergirl box came in the mailbox, it was removed from my clutch by my 15 year old daughter. A new make up diva! lol! What can I say, she IS stunning anyways. Yes, the box is still lying on her floor with flyers strewn all about as well. Ha ha! She was kind enough to give ME the coupons though, and the color looked amazing on her! Now I'm just waiting for her to give me intell on how she loves her new BlastFlipStick!


I visited the CoverGirl website and researched all the shades they come in and more! It's a great website because it gives you ideas on what shade(s) fit what skin type and style. Check it out:

As always I am always happy with CoverGirl as I have always trusted their brand! I am a bargain shopper and rarely buy anything for myself, let alone something to make me "going out" worthy. I am also greatful to BzzReport for my free sample and my friends love you all for the fab coupons so that they may try this product as well. I always try to find my friends the best bargain to use their coupons too! Looking forward to my daughters input soon!

Gorton's Skillet Crisp Tilapia is FANTASTIC! We are avid hunters and Fish as much as we can here in Ohio. This not only means to get our fill of trout, bass and Catfish at our local club pond but to do lots of trolling for our favorite: Lake Erie Walleye! The two years since we sold our boat we have not had any Walleye filling our freezer like in the past and since then we have not had much in the way of our usual fish frys and occassional fish dinners. That being said, I was eager but skeptical about trying Gortons Skillet Crisp Tiliapia, but I can't argue with a free sample.

I went to our local Giant Eagle and got the Garlic & Herb seasoned fillets (which were on sale as well). I did not cook these right away as it was not added into my monthly meal schedule at the time but on one particular day when I was feeling a little under the weather, my husband decided to give it a whirl. In reading the instructions I was surprised when he said that it didn't require any oil or anything to coat a frying pan to cook these,so naturally I thought for sure they would be dry. He was pleasently surprised and happy to tell me that it was fantastic, tasty & moist!

Recently we finished the whole box in cooking the last 3 fillets with our Pirogie night and I too sampled some along with our 1 year old daughter. She gobbled the fish up and was asking for more, more, more. I managed to get a little bit of fillet from her to try myself and I do have to say Gortons has this nailed! Fantastic!

My husband has since told me that this is the best fish he has ever had, frozen from any store and wants me to buy more!
Our ONLY question is this: wonder if you could deep fry these fillets?!


Well after many many days of sampling Glade Expressions products we are happy to make them a permanant home within our house. We absolutely love the spray refill and plan to use this for the camper when we reopen it in spring after our long Ohio winter has come and gone. That is, If I can pry it away from my 14 year old daughter who LOVES it! The home decore, oil is something that has grown on me. At first I thought it resembled a Christmas time scent, however I now realize how much the scent resembles one of those hip teen mall stores like Hollister! I have become very attached to this scent and plan to purchase again! Glad to also report that these items have lasted the 30 days plus in a near century home with 3 dogs and 3 kids!
Thank You BzzReport and Glade!!!!!

Whatz the Bzz 'bout Glade Expressions?

 

Well I received a campaign invite to Glade Expressions which I thought "WOW does BzzReport know how much my house smells like my 3 dogs"?! lol! I was interested in trying this product because I personally rarely purchase any air freshener items unless I can get a real deal. Lets face it, in this economy it's hard enough to feed 5 people and 3 dogs in a household like mine for only $100 a week! So air freshener is a luxury. With this said, I was a little pressed to find this new product on local store shelves right away. I managed to find a SMALL selection at the next town over- Giant Eagle. There were only 2 varieties of the oil diffuser kits and 2 selections of the fragrance mist starter kits.
I purchased the Cotton & Italian Mandarin fragrance mist starter kit at the Painesville, Ohio Giant Eagle and on first impression of the "kit" it simply looks like a fancy spray can. I am not sure how it works as a refillable kit. Now I see how the bottom unscrews open and there is a canister (under pressure) inside which is the spray and because it is refillable with any scent, the label is easily removed if you wish. Nice. I can say the only small draw back is the screw open/close bottom. This will be a little difficult for people with arthritis as to screw it close (you have to get it just right to screw it back on). Now about the scent I purchased. I didn't use it right away. It was my daughter who was complaining about a "smell" in her room that initially wanted to use the fragrance mist. The next thing you know, she is spraying it all over the house and what a nice scent the Cotton & Italian Mandarin turned out to be! We both looked at each other and exclaimed it smelled "fresh" yet not overwhelming.

At the same time I had opened the Oil Diffuser starter kit in Lavender & Juniper Berry and quickly put it together. I placed it on my computer desk origionally but after my 17 year old son complained of how strong the smell of pine and wild flowers was, I moved it. I don't recomend placing it right where it will be in your face. It is a great item to fill a room slowly and the Lavender & Juniper Berry scent would be better suited for the holidays I think.

I love the cotton & italian mandarin so much that I plan to purchase refills as soon as I can but I personally don't plan to purchase a refil for the oil kit anytime soon. I am extra happy that I have these items as of this moment though. Not only for the dogs but we have grandma and grandpas recently purchased 5th wheel camper which we started to clean out. It has been in storage for years, thus finding it turned into a mouse habitat and smells quite musty. Will Glade help this? I plan to find out quickly! KIT.......

Candy Unjunked- Unreal (good)


Well, we've tested our Unreal candy- Unjunked thus far. (we meaning myself and my 14 year old candy consumer daughter) Myself, I will say I prefer MORE peanut butter in my peanut butter cups, but it was good. I do like the candy coated chocolate candies and the Chocolate peanut nougat candy bars were also good. My daughter liked the candy coated chocolates and the chocolate nougat bars herself. We both agree that the candy has a "different" taste than those well known brands we all eat. Possibly because these candies are "natural" in that they have none of those extra artificals.
Would I purchase these items, you may ask? The answer is as long as the price is good, and possibly a coupon or two here and there then YES! I feel better as a parent of a daughter who LOVES to eat "junk food", giving her these candies for occassions!

I also plan to purchase more this weekend and continue our testing by offering my daughters best friend to try them as well!

My surprise from Covergirl & Olay!


This WAS my daily routine, to get ready for the day. My moistureizers, foundation, concealer and pressed powder.

 

 

Since testing for BzzAgent the Covergirl & Olay foundaion and pressed powder I have fallen in love. The foundation goes on seemingly dry at first but as a few days go by you start to notice a difference in texture. I beleive this is because to be fair, I did quit totaly, the use of all my moistureizers to get an accurate and honest feel for the product.
One day recently, I was quickly hurring through my make-up routine and grabbed my old foundation (Covergirl TruBlend) and was imediately surprised to notice a total difference in coverage on my face. My dark circles returned under my eyes, the creases and fine lines became noticeable and I QUICKLY grabbed the CoverGirl/Olay foundation to FIX my look! I barely need any concealer (use it only in the corners of my eyes) and it hides any blemishes (don't you hate those middle-aged blemishes).
I have spread the word to people I talk to and have passed out coupons, thanks to BzzAgent. I plan to do my bi-weekly shopping tomorrow (Friday) and will stop at my local CVS where they have CoverGirl on sale b1g1 50% off! I also plan to offer up coupons and speak to any customers I see in the make-up asile!

Bzz #1 campaign RECEIVED & ready to start!

Well, after a very long and arduous day I was happily surprised to find I had finally received my very first BzzAgent campaign... My Cover Girl/Olay foundation and pressed powder came in the mail and I am so excited (though you wouldn't know it from the bags under my eyes and the ache in my body) to start my "grand tour" on the product! Day number one comes on the same day as my husbands family reunion picnic here, where many will travel to meet. I not only hope to see some results to take the tired look from my over worked 42 year old face, but to hopefully have family say "hey, did you do something different"? I will also be sure to bring my fliers with coupons to offer to any who are interested as well!

Campaign no 2 for me and I'm VERY EXCITED! Why?! Well, I get to test candy.... Every girls fav (even if it's only 1x a month)......

I've personally never heard of this particular candy or brand so it should be very very impartial I think. And besides, my family will love it as well! Hope it comes quickly....
