BzzAgent Report on CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Lipstick!!!!

Through BzzAgent I was oh so lucky to get into the CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Campaign. Now I LOVE everything make-up be it nail polish, eye shadow, foundation, blush you name it! But my all time favorite make up has to be LIPSTICK! I feel naked if I go out without something on my lips. I have always worn it. So when I got this I was like...YAY!!! I couldn't wait to try it.

When my BzzKit came it had three flipsticks inside Minx- a dark brown creme lip color on one side and a coppery shimmery side. I have redhair and I like the way the copper goes with my skin tone..Also my hair is kind of copper colored I guess so I LOVE it. I tried it first. I liked the way it glided across my lips and made a perfect lip. No smearing or bleeding which I have experienced with some brands in the past.I like the way the copper lightened up the dark of the creme side.

The second color I tried was Vixen a dark rose color creme side it was paired with a delightful soft shimmery pink frost that YES I LOVED oh so much. I wish they would make this alone in a lipstick. Maybe they already do and I am missing out on it. I'll check and let you know. I liked the creme color alone I liked the frost color alone and I LOVED them together!

 I really enjoyed trying these wonderful products for free no less thanks to being a BzzAgent and hope you liked my review. The third color Stunner was also very pretty but it was not a good match for my coloring so I gave it to my sons friend and she loved the rich vibrant color that Stunner had to offer. It is a orangey red with a gold shimmer on the other side. Perfect for her raven hair and flawless skin! I have given so many coupons out to my friends and they all liked the availability of the Lipstick and the reasonable price! We all gave CoverGirl Blast Lipstick a 9 on a scale of 1-10. Thanks CoverGirl! Thanks BzzAgent!

Benjamin Moore Aura Paint- Review for BzzAgent

  

   I was so excited to get in on the Benjamin Moore Aura Paint campaign through BzzAgent! I was looking forward to redoing a tiresome room and making it fresh and pretty ! When I received my BzzKit it contained a color sample wheel to choose a color- we decided on seedling, a soft muted green that was welcoming and warm being it is our entrance way. It was not easy to choose a color mind you being that Benjamin Moore Aura paint offers so many beautiful colors to choose from.

 We took our  coupon down to our local ACE hardware center to get our FREE gallon of Benjamin Moore Aura Waterborne Interior paint  and when we were getting it mixed the salesgirl told me how the colors in the Aura collection are all made to flow together so what ever colors you choose they will compliment each other. All the rooms you paint will be cohesive to each other eliminating the dreaded color clash!! How ingenius!
     Before we got to paint our room we unfortunately had to replace the sheetrock due to some water-damage from Sandy so it set us back on finishing this review on time, but with some help we got the sheetrock up, spackled and primed the walls....now the wall color. I was so excited to paint! The Benjamin Moore Aura paint contains no VOC's so there is no smell at all it was so nice! The paint was thick and smoothe and rolled on the wall like a charm! The coverage was fabulous! It really covered nicely.
     I was quite impressed by the smoothness and ease the paint went on the wall, I have used many different bransds of paint over the years and have to say I really like Benjamin Moore Aura paint the best. It is slightly moore expensive than some brands but I feel you get what you pay for. I will pay more for a product that is safer for my family and also better for our environment. Yes Aura paint is ECO-Friendly which is a big plus in my house. Our home is very old built in the 1930's and it has taken us 10 years so far to strip it of it's toxicity so we were glad that Benjamin Moore Aura paint was Eco-Friendly! My room is so clean looking now and fresh! I just love it! Stay tuned for my big reveal of before & after!!!

SMARTFOOD Selects Product Review

I am a BzzAgent as you know and I am lucky to have been picked to try the NEW SMARTFOOD Selects snacks.



I was sent Three flavors to try Garlic Tomato Basil Popped Hummus  Chips, Cinnamon Brown Sugar Multi Grain Popped Chips and Sour Cream & Onion Puffed Corn. These are All-Natural snacks that are extremely addicting! I absolutely loved the Garlic Tomato Basil Popped Hummus chips. They were like a taste explosion in my mouth. Very different from the usual snacks out there. The Garbanzo flour makes them very crispy and extra tasty.
The Cinnamon Brown Sugar Multi Grain Popped Chips were also very good they had a distinct flavor of sweetness and crunch.  I liked these because I always crave something sweet in the middle of the day and these are a healthier alternative to a candy bar. The Sour Cream & Onion Puffed corn was a nice surprise. With it's resealable zip style closure it proved to be easy to open and easier to close. It is also a great stay fresh benefit. The puffed corn is so light like a doodle and just the right blend of flavor. My husband enjoyed these the most.

I think the next flavors I will try will be the Feta-Herb Hummus Popped chip.My son who is the Hummus King is disappointed due to milk being in all the products and he is Vegan so he couldn't try them, they are Kosher though. SMARTFOOD Selects contain no MSG  0 grams Trans Fat No Artificial Colors or Flavors. My favorite thing is the contain NO PRESERVATIVES!  I try to buy all my food preservative free.
SMARTFOOD Selects are available in 8 Amazing Flavors Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn,Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn, Parmesan Herb Popcorn, Italian Herb Multi Grain Popped Chip,Cinnamon Brown Sugar Multi Grain Popped Chip, Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, Sour Cream & Onion Puffed Corn. Pick some up at your local store.

Holtsville Ecology Center & Rescue Zoo

I live on Long Island, This post is about the horrific proposal the Town of Brookhaven is ready to pass with little regard to the people in the community or the animals at this park. The closing of this park is a travesty, The animals that are in this park are mostly disabled and would most likely euthanized some sources say. I myself believe this. There is a fitness track, a greenhouse, playground and recycle center in this one-time garbage dump. The animals have been there and loved for  very long time. My son has gone there since he was a little boy, My husband went there when it was built. He remembers it as a dump, an eye sore to the community. If the park is closed what is to become of it? No one  is saying. Will it be left to return to a nuisance of overgrown weeds & a plight on the community? Or will it be sold to a developer for MORE houses or condos no one can afford. This is ridiculous! Instead of closing this park how about issuing town stickers to residents and charging non-residents  fee. The people in this community and the animals should not pay the price for lousy money managing of the town government. Instead of town cars and paid weekends away maybe some officials should step up and listen to the already fed up masses. We already pay high taxes in this state so give the people this one "luxury" a community park.

UNREAL Candy Campaign -BzzAgent

I was lucky enough to get to test some wonderful new candy today! It was UNREAL Candy and it is Unjunked! http://getunreal.com/ I recently joined BzzAgent. It is a wonderful company that values your opinion!www.bzzagent.com BzzAgent sent me Free candy and Buy One Get One Free coupons for me to give out to my friends & family. All I had to do was taste the candy and give my opinion on it. It was that simple!

It is made with real sugar not HFC (High Fruitcose Corn Syrup) and it has no Hydrogenated oils, & No Artificial's! It was very tasty! I found the chocolate to taste very clean CHOCOLATY! All the candy was wonderful tasting but my favorite was the candy coated chocolates- they were so good!

I liked the muted colors from the vegetables they used instead of chemicals, They use beet juice, cabbage juice, tumeric to name a few. It was very pure tasting. The sugar makes such a difference in the taste of the candy. When I was younger candy was made with sugar not corn syrup and it tasted so good. This was a pleasant tasting creamy chocolate that has half the calories of candy that is "JUNKED"

All they candy was delicious! If you get a chance to pick some up DO IT! You will not want to eat other candy again!

Times Square Visitors Center

Yesterday my son & I went into the city (NYC) to go to an event for New York Comic-con at and spend some more cash when I stumbled upon the hidden jewel known as t MidTown Comics. It was very cool we wound up winning passes for NYCC which was AWESOME! We were going into Manhattan that evening to see Ghost on Broadway so decided to go earlier and try to score some passes. The event was at noon and ended at 1 PM, Ghost did not start until 7 PM. We had 6 hrs to kill with a small budget to do it on.  I don't know if you have ever been to Times Square but it is two things you need to know.... 1. Extremely crowded  2. EXPENSIVE! not to mention...NO BATHROOMS. It is very hard to find a bathroom in Times Square. We first went to Starbucks and could use the facility w/ a purchase. So we bought a cold brew tea (ewww) I don't recommend the passion fruit tea w/ lemonade. It was weak tasting and not very cold for $3.50 plus tax.  So after the drink had kicked in and needed to use the facilities again we were going to go to McDonald's and spend some more cash when I stumbled upon the hidden jewel know as The Times Square Visitors Center.  I had been to Times Square many many times and had never noticed this before.
     Upon entering you experience the glitzy neon lights that spell out welcome, as you walk down toward the exhibit center you pass beautiful costumes from shows like Evita, Phantom, Joseph & the Technicolor Dreamcoat etc. Then the bathrooms which are very clean! The main room it filled with wonderful FREE things to do as well as a gift shop (fair prices for Times Square) You can take pictures (with your camera) of you with a replica of the New Years Eve ball that is all lit up in multi-color fashion. There is even a very sweet public safety officer who will be more than happy to take the photo for you. There is a starbucks cart for coffee. a broadway show ticket agent there, and the best thing I thought was the newsreel. Every ten minutes they show the history of Times Square from 1904 til present. It was a very unexpected delight  to be treated so nicely by all the employees and a much needed reprieve from the heat and noise of Times Square. It was rejuvenating to sit in the air conditioning and cool down while learning some interesting things about Times Square.
      So......If you find yourself in Times Square and need a break for no cost go and check out The Times Square Visitor Center Entrance is located at 7th Ave between 46th & 47th Streets
They are open 7 days a week from 8am-8pm.

SoBe Coconut Water

     I Love SoBe life water so I tried their new flavor Coconut Water.  It is excellent for hydration. I used it when the humidity was sky high and temps. around 100 in NYC. It refreshed and replaced just like they say. After walking 45 city blocks in a heat wave I reached for a water but saw this instead.
     After drinking it I felt energized enough to walk the 45 blocks back to the train station! I think Pacific Coconut is my new favorite flavor of Sobe Life water! I hope you try it too!

Lysol Power & Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner

     I don't know about you but I have always cleaned with bleach. My mother cleaned with it so I do. To me it makes me feel like everything is really clean. I recently found out about the health risks there are with using too much bleach. So when I saw Lysol (which I love & also always use) came out with a multi-purpose cleaner with the power of bleach but using hydrogen peroxide I was soooo happy! I couldn't wait to try it!
     I was delighted to find it had a pleasant smell  (Citrus Sparkle Zest) PLUS it cut through tough bathroom & kitchen stains like hard water & greasy stove. Anytime a cleaner cleans & doesn't give me a headache is a good thing.
 I would definitely buy this product over my usual multi-purpose cleaner w/bleach. I recommend giving it a try.

Almond Breeze Almond Milk

This is one tasty replacement for milk! If you have stomach issues or diet restrictions for milk this is great. I have it by the glass with cookies or cake, use it on my cereal and cook with it!
At 60 calories per 8 oz. glass it's great. It is a thin consistency like skim milk. It tastes great unlike soy. It has no after taste which works well when using in recipes. Soooooo, if you are looking for a healthy alternative I would suggest Blue Diamond Almond Milk! Enjoy!
This is vegan friendly contains no dairy

BOCA Savory Mushroom Mozzarella Veggie Patties

     I am NOT a Vegetarian, My son has been a vegetarian by choice for 6 years  now until he decided to go vegan.  I had this box of BOCA Burgers in the freezer which he can't eat anymore since there is cheese in it, so I decided to try it.
     It couldn't hurt to try something healthier for me since I am always looking for healthier alternatives to what is already in my diet. I cooked it up like I always did in a non stick skillet with a little extra virgin olive oil until it is crisp on both sides (about 15 minutes total) Put it on some toast , hit it with a dab of ketchup and took my first bite.....WOW not bad! The taste is very flavorful, lots of spices with the cheesey goodness that is mozzarella. My only dislike was the texture, not the thick meaty texture I am used to but not a bad texture either.  My son assured me that after you eat two or three veggie burgers or soy burgers you don't miss the meat feeling.

     So I would recommend BOCA Savory Mushroom Mozzarella veggie patties to anyone who would like to try a healthier alternative to a meat patty. One patty is only 110 calories with 25 fat calories. Pretty good considering a regular beef patty is 4 oz. 240 calories 17 grams of fat (chuck patty 85% lean)
It is a great way of cutting calories with out compromising taste and satisfaction.

JIF Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

     Do you love Nutella? I do..... but I also like JIF peanutbutter, so when I saw that JIF came out with a chocolate flavored hazelnut spread I jumped for joy! I could not wait to try it.
It comes in a 14.1 oz container which is a tad bigger than Nutella (13 oz) and it is about twenty cents cheaper.

     First I tried it like all TRUE lovers of Nutella like their choco goodness....On a spoon right out of the freshly opened jar! MMMMMMMM! Smooth, Creamy, DELICIOUS!!
I was delighted to find it was just as tasty as Nutella. Way To Go JIF!!

I have since had it on toast with banana, used it as filling for my sweet rolls, and made cookies with it.
I Love it and would highly recommend it!!
