BzzAgent Neutrogena Cosmetics

I recently joined BzzAgent and have been really pleased with their activities. So far I've been invited to four campaigns and one of my current campaigns is for Neutrogena Cosmetics. For this campaign I received:

• Neutrogena^® MoistureSmooth Color Sticks for sheer, shiny color that continuously conditions lips.This was in the color Sweet Watermelon

• Neutrogena^® Healthy Lengths Mascara for 100% longer looking lashes, in Black

• Neutrogena^® Crease Proof Eye Shadows for 12-hour wear that instantly revives and brightens eyes, I received two of these in the colors Lasting Taupe and Constant Copper. 

This is an awful and awkward picture, but in this picture I'm wearing the constant copper eyeshadow and the Sweet Watermelon Color Stick.

I've always wanted to try Neutrogena cosmetics but had never purchased them. I must say that I LOVE the copper eyeshadow. It's a wonderful light color. The taupe is darker so I don't care for it as much. The Watermelon Color Stick is also nice, it has a nice scent to it and a lovely soft color. I also have a Revlon Color Stick which is a lovely consistency but the color isn't noticeable at all, making it sort of useless except as a moisturizer.

Thanks BzzAgent, can't wait to try out more products!

I'm also currently testing out Garnier Fructis Hydra ReCharge  Shampoo, Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment and have a Lysol Foaming Soap Campaign coming up!

Review- March Hammock Pack "Spa Day"

I received the March Hammock Pack on Friday, the last of my three month subscription. I won't be continuing with this subscription, but this months was my favorite of the three I received. This months theme was "Spa Day";

                                              Here's a look at everything that was inside

What was inside?

Aqua Blossom Lip Polish and Facial Steam; this is the papery looking item and the small box tied with ribbon. For the facial steam you boil hot water, add the contents and put a towel over your head to utilize the facial steam. The lip polish comes with a little wooden spatula and is in the flavor buttercream.

Dang Foods Coconut Chips; this is a decent sized bag of coconut chips, these were pretty tasty!

Good Cacao Superfood Chocolate (Coconut); This was a full size dark chocolate bar with coconut flakes on the underside. I don't usually like dark chocolate but the coconut was a nice addition and this has already been consumed!

Perennial Soaps Vegan Soap (Lavender); This is an adorably packaged full size soap, I had seen previews/hints on the facebook page for this and was hoping for the Eucalyptus one because my husband hates Lavender. I may use this in a birthday gift box I'm creating for someone.

Teatulia Organic Green Tea (6 bags); My husband and I both drink tea so it's always a welcome surprise. My husband had this this morning and didn't have any complaints.

Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Milk & Oat Bath; This is the packet with the yellow on it in the picture. Basically it's a bath soak. Our bath isn't great for taking baths so I may gift this in the birthday box I'm making as well.

I enjoyed the variety and amount of items in this box. Both food items have already been eaten and I'll likely be gifting some of the "spa" items. I calculated the cost and this one came out pretty even to what I'd spent ($30). All in all a good box, but not enough for me to resubscribe at this time. 

Review- March Season's Box "Spring into St. Patty's"

I received my beloved SeasonsBox this week! Lovely packaging as usual;

                                               Bad picture of the information card, sorry!

Here's what was inside:

                                           Ecoverse Compact Umbrella from ShedRain

                              Organic Gourmet Tea from Octavia; I received Irish Breakfast Tea

                                 Natural Incense Cones from Vance Kitira; I received these in Lime scent

                                               Dublin Mint Irish Soap from All Things Herbal

I've tried the incense and it doesn't give off a strong lime scent, but in general I like the smokey smell of incense. My husband has stolen the umbrella so that will go to good use. I was able to try the tea last night and it was much better than expected, as I tend to prefer fruity teas.

                                                       All in all another successful box!

Review- February Starlooks

I won a contest through MUT and was super excited, I never win anything!!

Starlooks was originally giving away a free box to 20 lucky winners so I was surprised when I saw I had won! I later found out that Starlooks had been so generous and had instead chosen 100 winners to receive boxes. They gave one box, which was either the October, January or February box. I looked at pictures of each box and had my fingers crossed for February since I LOVE pink makeup and SCORE I got February!

                                       This is what everything looked like when I opened up the box.

                                                                             Close up



Here's what was inside:

1. Starlooks  Lip Pencil in Tipsy--I don't really use lip liner but I'm open to trying it
2. Starlooks Infinity Liner in Princess Diaries--This is such a pretty color and can be used as a liner or an all over eye color
3. Starlooks Lip Gloss in Pink Oasis--This is very pretty on, a very pretty purple/pink
4. Starlooks HD Fluid Blush in Barbie.--Love this, you need only the smallest amount

Overall I was impressed with this box and if I wasn't overloaded with makeup right now I would probably sign up. 

It's been a while...

Happy Saturday!

It's been a while since I posted, I got a little overwhelmed with all the subscriptions I was getting since this was new to me. I've since made some updates to my subscriptions and will try to be better! Below is an updated list of the subs I've tried, will be trying or want to try;

Pop Sugar Must Haves;
I was subscribed to this for December 2012, January 2013 and February 2013. I enjoyed this sub since it was a nice mix of "lifestyle" items but decided to cancel it to try out some others. Thankfully I wasn't too impressed with the March box. Right now there are some good promo codes out there;  Use GET$10 to get $10 off a 3-month sub and GET$25 to get $25 off a 6-month sub!!!Please use my referral link if signing up;http://popsu.gr/EAI

SeasonsBox; 
I was subscribed to this for January-March 2013. I LOVE this subscription and here's why;
-Full Size Products
-Value higher than you're paying and for me, these are items I actually use
-Lovely packaging (that could be reused for gifts)
-The option to "skip" a month
-The option to purchase items from past boxes
-Great customer service 
-Preview of the items in each month's box

This is a pricier subscription service but it has been my favorite so far. While I haven't continued my subscription, it's only because my birthday is in April and I've already asked my husband for a 3 or 6 month subscription. I've just really enjoyed/used the products in this box, had great customer service and I like that you get to preview the items with the option to skip. They just made improvements to the "my account" page, making their service even better. I highly recommend; http://curebit.com/x/CZ0zf 

Hammock Pack; 
I was subscribed to this for January-March 2013. I was not happy with the January or February box. March was better, but I will not be continuing with this subscription.The items in this box tend to be from Etsy and I love that you're supporting those types of sellers, but in general you're usually getting items worth about the same as you've paid and for me personally they aren't items I would have bought.

KlutchClub;
This is a fitness box that I'd been interested in. I signed up for the "best of valentines box" using a great coupon where I paid only $8.00. While the items were interesting, I didn't continue with this but continue to receive their e-mails/promotions


Starlooks;
My first "beauty/makeup" box. I won a free February box (review coming later). I loved the items in this box and the price/customer service/reviews are great. Right now I'm overloaded with makeup, but this is one I may try in the future

Yuzen; 
A mixture of beauty, food, and home items, I signed up for Yuzen when they announced they were going quarterly, with my first box arriving in February. I can't really judge this one yet since I've only gotten one box, but I like that it's quarterly and I've enjoyed trying the deluxe sized items so far.


In the coming months...

Pawalla;
A pet subscription for all you crazy animal people (like myself!). I ordered the April Standard Pawalla box for my two kitties using a referral link for $6.50 off. I later referred a co-worker and in turn got $15 back, SWEET! I can't wait to get my first box. Check out my link to get $6.50 off ; http://curebit.com/x/paoAj  There's also a great deal on fab.com right now for either a 1 month standard subscription box or three months of their mini version.

Love with Food; 
I signed up for this one with a coupon code (expired) to pay only $2. This will be my first food sub and I'm excited about it, especially knowing that for each box they donate a meal to a hungry child. I also got a deal on fab.com for another month and paid only $2 when combined with $5 in fab credit.

FabFitFun;
This is another "pop sugar" type subscription with it's first box coming out this month. Seems like this will be more beauty related but I'm hoping as they start to customize I can get some fitness items. I signed up using a $10 off coupon code and the promise of Moroccan Oil. This is another quarterly sub which I enjoy more than monthly subs. My first box should be arriving next week, I'll definitely stick around to see at least the summer box and then decide if I'm keeping it.

ConsciousBox;
A natural beauty/food product box, I got this using a coupon so I only paid $1.00. I've read mixed reviews but for the price I couldn't say no.

Subs I'd like to try...

The Jungle Stand; Another food box that gives you a "tasting" experience. For only $9.92 with free shipping, I'm sure I'll try this at some point


TwistBand Club; I got a twistband in my KlutchClub box and LOVED it! For only $10 a month I was thinking of doing a three month sub, but I'm holding out for now, hoping for a coupon

TheFancy.com ; I've seen mixed reviews of this one but I thought their food sub looked interesting, it's pricey so I probably won't subscribe

My Cotton Bunny or Juniper; Both of these are Time of the Month boxes that I think seem cute. Don't know if I'll ever try them but I've seen reviews and like both of them

The Homegrown Collective; My husband is a landscape architect and loves everything related to gardening, the yard etc so this would be ideal for him. I looked at some past boxes and I know he'd love some, one day I'll order!
