  • Accutane Advice!




    I'm looking into getting Accutane and I was wondering what your opinions are of it or what your experiences have been.  I have moderate acne which really affects my day to day life and I have EXTREMELY oily skin which is the main reason I want Accutane.
    There are so many side affects and horror stories out there and I'm really kind of nervous.  What do you guys think?

  • Covergirl lashblastfusion

    covergirl lashblast fusion


    Recently I was sent a tube of Covergirl's Lashblast Fusion because I am a member of BzzAgent.  I was sent this product to share my honest review with people like you.  I am not paid to write this and this is my honest opinion.

    I have never tried any of Covergirl's mascaras before.  I had heard all of the hype on the Covergirl Lash Blast mascara but I just hadn't gotten around to buying myself a tube yet.  When BzzAgent asked if I wanted to review lashblast Fusion I was really excited because I had heard a lot of good things about it.

    I received the mascara in Very Black. I have been using it for about a month now and I have to say that I love it.  I really love mascaras that give lots of volume but don't clump up my lashes.  A mascara that does just that is really  hard to find. This mascara does add volume and hardly ever clumps, even though sometimes it does.  If it does clump I just take a little eyebrow brush and brush the clump out. As far as length goes this mascara does lengthen my lashes but not too much. 
    Overall I am very glad that I received this mascara, I will purchase it again, and I recommend all of you to try it!!

  • New Dove Hair Products

     

    So Dove has recently re-vamed  their hair care.  They have added what they call fiber activities to take care of damage.  Dove says the daily treatment conditioners:
    -are designed to give hair the deep nourishment of a treatment in the time it takes to condition
    -instant smoothness after just one use
    -Dove's most advanced technology ever

    and it says the damage therapy system:
    -has micro moisture serum which helps protect and repair damaged hair
    -new fragrances
    -advanced care and repair for beautiful hair.

    As a BzzAgent I received the Intensive Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner free of charge.  I am not paid to make this post and this is my honest opinion.  I have been using the conditioner for over a month now and I really like it.  It makes my hair soft and while I have not seen any significant difference in my hair, I also have not seen any new damage.  I use a straightener on my hair a few times a week and so keeping my hair free of damage is high on my list.  I think this conditioner might be the key to keeping my hair healthy and it only takes a minute of your time.
    I recommend that you try out some of Dove's new hair products.

  • Covergirl Smoky ShadowBlash

    As a member of BzzAgent I was sent the Covergirl Smoky ShadowBlast to try out and spread my opinion. I was sent these products for free and this is my honest opinion.
    I received it in the shade Onyx Smoke which is the black and the silver.
    Both shades are very creamy and very easy to blend. In my opinion they are too easy to blend. When I tried to blend the colors with my finger they would completely wipe away.

    The silver is a very nice shimmery silver color. The black also has shimmer and it is kind of sheer. Both colors are buildable in color but the black never got as dark as I wanted it. Here are two looks that I created. On the left I used the silver all over the lid and I used the black end as liner and made a wing at the end. As you can see the black is not that pigmented.
    On the right I used the silver all over the lid and blended the black into the outer corner and the crease. As I'm sure you can tell it does not look the greatest. That is because I had such a hard time blending the black without wiping it all away. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion on the left eye and no primer on the right eye.


    Here is a picture of what my eyes looked like just two hours later. As you can see both sides creased. The left side, the side with the primer did crease but not as badly as the right side without the primer.

    Overall I am very disappointed in this product. I was very excited to try it out and it did not deliver. It was hard to work with and get the desired look and it didn't even last two hours with a good primer.

    Have you tried the Covergirl Smoky Shadowblast? What did you think?

  • Anti-Aging Eye Cream

    All right lovelies I need your help.
    I know that in order to prevent wrinkles later in life you need to take action while you are young.  I am 19 and have fine lines around my eyes and mouth.  I am looking for a good anti-aging eye cream that will combat my fine lines and prevent wrinkles later on.  Also, if you use a product that works on fine lines elsewhere like around the mouth I would love to hear about that too.  I am looking for your help because I do not have the extra money to spend to try out 10 diff brands of eye creams to see what works and I don't know where to start or where to turn.  Thank you all!
