How is Karmic Cleanser ?

 

This karmic cleanser is awesome price point at or under $30.00 so it’s affordable! I didn't do much research before I received this cleanser to review so I was very surprised it was a powder the very first time I used it. Overall, I can say I am impressed and have come to love it. 

Product testing sites

I'm sure by reading my post you know that I am a member of a lot of product testing sites.  I can't lie they are very addicting. It's so exciting waiting for the mailman to see what freebies he brings for the day. I can't stand days when I don't get mail. With some of the sites the better you do, the more free products you receive. I have made friends with some amazing people in the process so I know we all feel the same way. One thing is unanimous we all strive to get better.  

Product testing sites are also a great way for you discover new things that you may not have tried on your own.  I wanted to share some of the tips that I picked up from others as well as some that I discovered on my own. I will also share links to some of my favorite Word of mouth sites. Hopefully these tips will also help you discover products you love. 

Chances are if you are selected to test a product you are or have used a similar product. Say you've been chosen to test foundation.  You put it on and you think it's perfect so that's great. You use it for  few days even weeks and it's time to write your review. A tip I have learned is try your old one again. This will give you and idea of why it is better than the one you were using before. You can also try your current brand on one side of your face and the one you are testing on the other. This is a great way to compare coverage. The same is true for anything you are testing. You can use a cleaning product on one side of the counter and a your usual on the other side, then take a paper towel and see if they are equally clean. 

When you are writing a review one thing I try to do is think of what I would want to know before I buy a product. I also think of why I loved the product. I also try to notice smell, constancy, color, different aspect of the product. You could love a product but not love the constancy or love the smell but not like the product. It's also easier if you think of it as having a conversation with a friend.

Then there's the dreaded this product is terrible. As much as I hate writing bad reviews it happens, nobody likes everything. When that time comes I always try to find something positive about the product. I also try to keep in mind that I may have not liked the product but someone else will. I like to keep them informed about why I didn't like it but not bash the product.  

I hope you find this post useful. If you have any other tips let me know. 

Here is is a list of some of my favorite product testing site:

But when you do get one all of that hard work is worth. It is a box of random products to test and review. Then you can win other products by being the most creative and original while sharing the products on your social media.

Covergirl/Olay 2-n-1 Rehab foundation

                                                     
I have been using Clinque foundation and powder for a very long time then they discontinued my favorite foundation. Because I always had a hard time finding a shade on my own that would match my skin I tried a few more types of Clinque but didn't find one that worked the same as my favorite. I was offered the Covergirl/Olay 2-n-1 Rehab foundation Bzz campaign and of course I was willing (and excited) to try it.

When I first received my BzzKit I took the bottle of Covergirl/Olay out and squirted a little on my finger. I was so impressed with the texture and it has light pleasant scent similar to the Olay cream. It has a built in moisturizer but I still did my morning routine of toner and moisturizer. Then I applied the foundation and was surprised that it took very little foundation to give me a great coverage - it literally only takes one pump. It also went on smooth and evened out my skin tones. It last all day and does not leave your face feeling greasy or oily.

 After a few uses my skin started to feel so soft and smooth plus people have compliment how good my skin looks. This is the best foundation that I have ever used and it it a very good price around $15.00 per bottle and available at WalMart or your favorite drug store. WalGreens often offers a buy one get one half price on Covergirl products. Makeup match will help you find your perfect shade.

I received this product free from  BzzAgent for product testing purposes but the opinion is this post in my own.

Covergirl Blast Flipstick

Vixen

Minx



Stunner

As I mentioned earlier I received a Covergirl Blast Flipstick Bzzkit the colors above are the colors included in the kit along with a generous amount of coupons to share with my friends and family. I was so excited to try these because I love lipstick, I love any make up if I'm being honest. Covergirl flipstick offers 13 different shades and each tube has two separate shades in it. One side is a darker matte shade the other is a lighter shinier shade. I first tried Vixen because looked like a shade I would wear and I loved it. You can actually create six (or more) different looks in one tube because the colors can be worn alone or together. The first look I tried was the darker matte shade with the shiner shade on top that was very pretty. Then I tried putting the lighter shade first and the darker one on top that was also very pretty. The second shade I tried was Minx and the darker matte side was too dark for me so I let a friend have it and she fell in love. I was hesitant to try Stunner because it had a orange look to it and that is not a color I would normally choose. I couldn't have been more wrong, I loved Stunner to go with my brown shades. I wore to a morning movie and it lasted through popcorn, candy, and a drink. It was still going strong when we ate lunch so it last a very long time. It also did not make my lips feel sticky nor did it cake up like some lipsticks I have used. This is a great lipstick and I will be buying other shades because I saw a few at Walmart that I liked. Don't be afraid to experiment and try different shades because I really didn't think Stunner would be good fit for me but I loved it.

Post Alpha Bits Cereal

As a full-time working mother of 5 children (2,3,4,5, and 9) on Saturday or Sunday I may have time for eggs and bacon or homemade pancakes but weekdays are always something quick and easy. When shopping for cereal my children usually request something very sugary that I refuse to buy except on occasion. They will eat Cheerios but lets face it that hardly has a "childlike" appeal to it. And who doesn't get tired of eating the same cereal over and over. When I got my Bzzkit in I was very excited to surprise my children with the new cereal. 

My 4 year old daughter and son were very excited that SuperWhy was on the front but honestly that is something that had no appeal to me. When I poured them a bowl I tasted the cereal and it tasted pretty good to me but one of my children is extremely picky so I knew she would be the best one to give her opinion. The fact that the cereal was shaped like the alphabet had not effect on my children even after I pointed it out all they said was yes it's shaped like letters. All 5 of my children said the taste was good and I asked if they would want me to buy it again they all said yes. 

After doing some research Alpha-Bits about the same amount calories and fat grams as Cheerios for a serving size of one cup. Cheerios has considerably less sugar with 1gram compared to 10 grams in the Post Alpha-Bits. I like the fact that Alpha-Bits has 12 essential vitamins and minerals so it does have nutritional advantages. All and all I think Alpha-Bits will be a cereal that I buy as an occasional treat for my children considering the sugar content.
