Covergirl Review with Pictures!!!

I am a BzzAgent member and was recently selected to participate in the Covergirl Blast BzzCampaign! If you don't know about BzzAgent it is a website that connects consumers and brands to test out new products and spread the bzz!

Since my sister Hannah was visiting I thought what better than to use her as my test dummy! Haha just kidding. I really wanted to use her because between the two of us she got all the good looks! It's ok don't feel bad for me, I'm not bitter...haha!

See what I mean even in her before picture she has eyelashes to kill for!

Here is some information about the CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast

* Easy 2-step eye shadow stick with specially designed applicator tips to easily deliver a colorful smoky eye:
o Step 1: Rounded end for shading the lid
o Step 2: Tapered end for lining the crease and the upper and lower lids
* Complete the look easily
* Six sophisticated color combinations expertly matched by professional make-up artist Pat McGrath:
o Silver Sky
o Onyx Smoke
o Bronze Fire
o Purple Plume
o Citrus Flair
o Tempest Blue


This is the first step. We applied the rounded end to shade the lid. I have to say I really liked the shade of pink.



Next we added the tapered end to create the smokey effect.



Here you can see we only applied the smokey purple to one eye to show you the difference.



Now to add the final touch with the CoverGirl Shine Blast Lip Gloss!

ShineBlast Lip Gloss:

* Delivers a blast of shine that gets you noticed
* Breakthrough ShineSculpt™ applicator hugs your lips' contours for optimum, smooth application and 4x more noticeable shine
*Available in 16 vibrant, shimmer behind the shine shades


Hannah was excited to receive her coupon, and here is a video of her experience with the CoverGirl Smokey Shadow Blast and ShineBlast Lip Gloss!




Personally I am not a big fan of the Smokey ShadowBlast. I don't like the wet texture and I know I would accidentally touch my eye and rub the make up off. I do like the two step process!
I love the ShineBlast Lip Gloss. It is the great color for me, and it goes on smooth with a perfect shimmer.

Disclaimer: BzzAgent and CoverGirl sent me these products to review along with coupons to pass out to my friends. All opinions are 100% honest.

NEW Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner! Review!

I am a Dove Hair Premier Ambassador and Dove provided me with a free product to try and share my opinion with all of you!

I have to say I'm a little biased, I LOVE Dove Products! I already use Dove deodorant and Dove hair care products! I want the product to work great but my main requirement is the right smell. My favorite is the Go Fresh Cucumber and Green tea! Loooove it!

I have to admit I am very hard on my hair! It is very thin and straight. I recently switched to a different hair style that's much shorter than my normal which allows me to blow it out with a round brush and a blow dryer! I add styling mousse, sometimes gel, and always hairspray!!! After all this I am able to give my hair a little body and a thicker look! So you can imagine this Daily Treatment Conditioner was much needed!

My Experience with Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner:

Consistency: I like the consistency, it was creamy and thick. Not much was needed to cover my short hair.

Fragrance: The smell was nice. I would describe it as soft, more on the perfume side. I personally prefer a fruit smell.

Wash out factor: It wasn't hard to wash the conditioner out of my hair. But I could tell it coated my hair. I hate when a conditioner takes forever to wash out and then you never truly feel like it is completely out. This conditioner did not leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy.

Styling: My hair styled just the same as normal, but I noticed a bit of a shine that wasn't there before!


Over all I really liked the new Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner. The bottle was sleek and easy to open. I have had problems in the past with the old Dove bottles. They were very hard to open. So I am very glad Dove changed to the new look!
