Neutrogena Review

Hello Ladies!!

               A few weeks ago I joined a site called BzzAgent. 

What is BzzAgent? 

 "BzzAgent is the leading social marketing company. What's that mean to you? We put products in the hands of hundreds of thousands of real consumers and help them share their opinions about them with friends and family via reviews, Facebook posts, photos and videos, blog posts and more."

 One of the first campaigns I was invited to was the Neutrogena Cosmetics campaign.


Revitalizing Lip Balm
I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars. These lip balms are a great product to take with you everywhere!!  They are priced fairly at about $8 (you can usually get them on sale or use a coupon).  I love the way they feel, the SPF 20 & the amount of pigmentation.  It has a very smooth texture that feels great on your lips and not sticky, the way lip balms feel. The SPF 20 is definitely one of the best features for reasons I really don’t think need explanation, let’s just say it’s a perfect lip balm for a day out at the park or the beach. The pigmentation on the lip balms make you lips get an even tone without looking like you are wearing makeup. They make your lips look very naturally colored.
Now the reasons it got 4 instead of 5 stars is the scent & shape. Opening them I thought I liked the scent on them I thought it was a nice fruity scent, but after wearing them for a while the scent kind of bothers me a little bit, I have no idea why but I just didn’t like it. The shape is also a little odd it makes the lip balm hard to put on, although, I do see a few positives in the shape. You put it in your pocket and it not bulky or lay it on the counter and it won’t roll away. Overall, I like these lip balms and would buy them.

Nourishing Eyeliner
I gave this product a 5 out of 5 stars. There is no makeup product I buy more than eyeliners. I don’t know why but I’m always buying different eyeliners. I buy gels, pencils, liquid liners anything I can get my hands on I buy.  I like the packing, the smoothness, and the smudger at the end of the pencil.  I like the packing of the pencil the width of the pencil is perfect. The pencil is easy to use it glides on easily and doesn’t tug on my eyelid. One of the best features of this pencil is that it goes on dark. I also really like the smudger. The smudger makes it easy to create a smokey eye or if you use it lightly it blends the little mistakes you make while putting on your eyeliner.  This eyeliner also stayed on all day and didn’t run or smear throughout the day the way other eyeliners do.

Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector.

I gave this product  3 out of 5 stars. I have dark bluish circles under my eyes look super tired all the time. I’ve spent a lot of money and time on different products that would cover those circles without making it look cakey. This product is only okay when it comes to covering the dark under eye circles. I really don’t care much  for the packing the brush applicator is not good. I usually put a little dab on my hand and use one of my own makeup brushes to apply the product. I usually wear full coverage makeup and this product probably would not satisfy the average full coverage makeup girl. This is very light coverage which I think is great for summertime!

Overall, I think they are great summertime "natural look" products!

Absence & Blog Changes!

Hello Beauties,

So I've been absent from my blog for a while. The reason? I don't know, I just haven't found the time to write. Between work, being a sweeper, and spending time with my husband I haven't been paying any attention to this blog. So I needed to find inspiration to keep me interested in writing so I'm going to change things up a little bit. This blog will not only be about fashion but it'll also include personal things going on in my life & reviews of products I'm sent by different companies & the recent sweeps and amazing coupons I find online. Essentially this blog will be about everything!! I really hope this works because it is what inspires me to write. Here's a list of a few upcoming exciting reviews! 

* Neutrogena Cosmetics
* Flora by Gucci The Garden Collection
* Sobe
* Dr. Scholl's for her

As well as many other posts!!
