What’s the Bzz?

// May 19th, 2010 // Couponing, Life in General, Opportunities

I signed up to be a BzzAgent a while back, which is not a way to make money, but it is a way to get to try products for free.  I recently got my first BzzCampaign, which means I got a product to try and report to my friends on what I think about it.

I received a full-size Cover Girl Shine Blast lip gloss and Smoky Shadow Blast eye shadow duo.  The lip gloss is bright pink in the tube, and while I thought it would be way too bright (but would be a fantastic toenail polish color for summer) it was actually quite sheer and pretty.  Like all lip glosses, though, it didn’t last particularly long.  Still, it is something I would probably buy again.

For the eyeshadow, I got Smoky Shadow Blast in Silver Sky.  Looking at the shadow in its packaging, it looks like dark, dark purple and charcoal–almost black.  However, when I put it on, I was surprised at how light and sheer it was.  I actually had to apply more than I thought I would, because it was so pale and shimmery.  It’s not my usual look, but I liked it a lot, and I think it will be a very nice look for spring and summer–very feminine.  My one problem with the shadow stick was that it broke right away.  It’s still usable, but I just hate it when my makeup breaks, whether it is a broken lipstick or a shattered blush.

Now let’s make this blog interactive.  Head over to Cover Girl Blast’s homepage and check it out.  Post a comment here or on my Facebook page telling me what you think of it and/or which color of shadow or lip gloss you are most likely to try.  I have several two more $2 off coupons to give to readers who comment while supplies last.

(By the way, some Cover Girl products are BOGO at CVS this week, so if you hurry, you could get a great deal!)
