my life in a new city
 
as a fan of social media, i have been using it lately to test out new products and have tried to win freebies. i follow a company on instagram, flowebeauty, which is sold at walmart, but founded by the very talented, household actress, drew berrymore. every friday they do something called 'flowerfreebiefriday' and they give away a product to someone who has either retweeted or regramed the pic they posted. and I was the lucky winner a couple weeks ago! 


last week it finially came in the mail and i get to try it out. wasnt sure how i was going to like it because ive used the same eye-liner for 8 years. and it turns out this stuff is pretty cool. its like a markers. and you just draw it on. the only issue i have with it is that it seems to smear. like when i blink, thats when it smears. it could be also that i have a droopy eye-lid and thats half the problem, but i dont know. but i do suggest to anyone to try it. it goes on really easily. and me being the artist i am, i prefer this because it is like a marker. 

so thanks flowerbeauty for this awesome product!
 
so a few weeks ago i stumbled across this website, bzzagent. i highly recommend everyone click on the link and go there right now (or after your finish reading this post haha.) anyway, this site is so awesome. you fill out surveys, and then you can join campaigns based on the results of the surveys. they team up with different companies that want to market their products to certain test groups so thats why they have you fill out surveys.

so a couple weeks ago i qualified for the covergirl© clean whipped foundation. and a week ago it came in the mail. 
inside the 'bzzkit' were coupons to hand out and a full-size jar of foundation to try out... for free! i must say, i love this foundation. i wasn't sure if i would like it or not because i have been using mary kay and was scared to go back to a drug store brand. however, this stuff is awesome. i have horrible skin to begin with, large pores and psoriasis so i wasn't sure how this would work. since its a 'whipped' foundation, its thicker, doesn't run like the mary kay stuff does that i had been using, and covers up so well. i don't need to use concealer with it either. it covers up my psoriasis so well. i use a brush to put it on and then set it with a powder foundation. my skin always looks so perfect now when i use this. im in love.

i seriously recommend this to anyone who's looking for a change in foundation! 
if you want more information of the product or bzzagent just send me a message. plus i still have a few coupons left if you'd like any to use to try out this awesome product!
