COVERGIRL Full Lash Bloom

I have just received my COVERGIRL sample in the mail today. I'm so excited to try it out!
I choose the Full Lash Bloom in very black.

I'm not often a makeup user but when I do, I stick with the basics; some lip gloss and typically some clear mascara. However, as I get older I'm finding that the clear mascara doesn't make my eyes "pop" like it used to so I have been on the hunt for a good, black mascara to add to my minimal make up routine. When I was given the chance, I jumped at the opportunity to test out this mascara for COVERGIRL.

I do not get paid for my reviews, comments, or my opinions on products that I receive from Bzzagent. I only receive the product with the promise to give an honest review. If you like free stuff and love to give your opinion and share new products with friends and family, take a peek at Bzzagent.com

Stay tuned for my opinion on this mascara. :) I *may* even attempt to take a selfie!

Bzz Kit Arrived Today

I received my Herbal Essences Bzz Kit today from BzzAgent. I opened the box and all I can say is oh my goodness did this shipping box ever smell good! My daughter stole the box and kept inhaling the scent. This campaign doesn't start until the 21st but I don't know if I can wait that long to use these products!

Thankfully, the kit came with 3 trial sized bottles as well so I'll give a set to my daughter and let her try it out as well (we don't share bathroom products). We have completely different hair types; mine is very fine and dead straight and hers is thinker and curly (her Fathers genes!).

Product Review: Twistos

I received this sample bag of Twistos in my Sample Source sample box the other day. 

These come in three different flavours: Parmesan and Garlic, Bruschetta, and Asiago. I received the Asiago flavoured sample.

The packaging on these is clean and simple but the image of the product looked a little ... odd? I really wasn't sure what to expect when I opened the bag to taste one. However, since I did get them for free I popped the first one into my mouth and then the next one, and the next ... and before I knew it, the bag was empty and I was wishing that they had sent me a larger bag. 

These are perfect. They are crunchier than a cracker but not as soft as a potato chip. The closest thing I could use to describe the texture of these is exactly how I described them to my boyfriend when I mentioned that I had received a free trial bag, "The best way to describe these would be to say that they are like a thinner, oval shaped crouton." The flavouring is not overpowering yet not muted either and unlike potato chips, they don't leave your hands feeling greasy after eating them. 

These baked snacks are 100 Calories per 20g (seriously, there is NO WAY I could only eat 20g of these if I had a bag!) and make a great alternative to chips for your snacking needs. 

I definitely want to try the Parmesan and Garlic and Bruschetta flavours now! I can't wait for my local store to stock these so I can buy a bag (or 5) and I may even share some with my kids. 

** I have not been compensated in any way, other than a free trial of the product for this post. This review is my honest opinion of the product and yours may vary depending on your personal tastes. **
