Be.Wines BzzCampaign!

BzzAgent is on FIRE!! Not only have I earned enough for a $25 MyPoints gift card but I keep on getting freebies!! Its so amazing to know that I get to test out products BEFORE anyone else and I never have to pay a dime. For anyone that has ever tried out a product, you know how the concept works. Receive the products, rate and share your thoughts, get rewards!  House Party never gave me any rewards, just free stuff. BzzAgent gives me rewards AND free products!!

It doesn't matter if I like the product or not, they want honest opinions. Recent campaigns have included: Filippo Berio Olive Oil, Dr. Scholls High Heel inserts, SoBe lifewater, Neutrogena Makeup, and now ...

Be. WINES!! Yup alcohol!
I'll be sure to post an update once I get my vino.. Because I'm in California, I probably wont be getting free wine, but a wine rebate. Other states are allowed to have free alcohol, CA says no.

curse of the fat fingers!

oh my hands aren't that big, but whenever i'm getting a manicure or trying to use manicure products, i feel ginormous!

For example, I received the Sally Hansen Salon Effects as part of my Influenster Spring Beauty Box and the thumbs don't fit. Luckily, I knew to always test my thumbs first to see if they will work but the bummed out feeling still is here.

For those with 'normal' hands:

i can't even tell you how many times my pads have hurt after a night out of being cute and wearing heels. i don't often rock the heels so when i do, i pay for it the next day.  With my Influenster Spring Beauty Box, now i don't have to worry about that any more.  I tried them out on Sat night, for a lil drinks and dancing and Sunday came pain free (except for my head)

Spring Beauty VoxBox Featured Product and I got a free one to review!! I received Paris Amour Scent and while its not my usual cup of tea, I do love the redesigned bottles. Much more esthetically pleasing. I'm usually a citrus and berry flavored girl, but this Paris Scent isn't too bad. I lightly applied it in the shower right before I got dressed. At about 4 pm, I could still tell it was there, but it wasn't overpowering, just a light hint of scent. Not too bad for a long day of work.

Sheer Cover

As you know, Influenster is an amazing site that sends you free products to test and share. Here is one of the items from the recent Beauty Box.


I have always watched infomercials when on vacation, I'm not sure why but i love to sit in my hotel room (usually the bathtub) and watch different infomercials.. I have always been intrigued by the Sheer Cover but too chicken to order. I'm seriously reconsidering that now. Not only am I in the middle of my monthly break out session but I have a bit of sunburn too. This concealer covers them both and makes me look flawless.

Sheer Cover Duo Concealer Sheer Cover® Concealer is perfect for all skin types and tones. Our concealer is a customer favorite offering a custom blend for the various shades on your face and covers up imperfections. It not only covers up the look of dark circles, blemishes, redness and age spots, it also moisturizes with Jojoba and Allantoin. It instantly conceals blemishes, dark spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone – we’ve got life’s little imperfections covered!

 KEY BENEFITS: Instantly covers skin imperfections for a flawless, natural look Variable coverage – sheer and creamy perfect for under eye circles or more opaque for blemishes, dark spots and hyperpigmentation Easy application – glides on, won’t pull or tug at fragile skin Enriched with natural, moisturizing Jojoba to help nourish and restore the skins’ natural moisture balance Allantoin helps calm and soothe sensitive, irritated skin Provides antioxidant protection from free-radical scavengers Dermatologist-tested

HOW TO USE: Using fingertips, concealer brush or a cosmetic sponge dab a small amount of concealer on area to be covered. Blend well. Start sheer, adding layers to increase coverage. Wear alone, under or over makeup. Let dry before applying makeup.

Where to Buy: Customers can visit www.SheerCover.com or call 1-877-489-2035 to purchase Sheer Cover. $29.95 for the concealer (non-member price) and $29.95 for the introductory system, which also includes the Duo Concealer.

While surveys have been slacking off a bit lately, secret shopping is doing better than ever. I get paid to go to concerts, get my oil changed, go grocery shopping, play at regular stores.. All reimbursed and paid for by someone else! Here are some of hte sites I'm currently using:

  BestMark - Referral ID CA25472- does concerts, electronics retailers, oil changes, and much more.

Intelli-shop - high volume of call at home shops, new ones each day. Pays via paypal.

QAMS - tons of lil shops requiring less than 45 minutes for completion. Get in, Get out, get paid.

Check out slickdeals.net and volition.com if you ever have any questions regarding the validity of these companies.

Big FAT Ebates Payment!!

Got my Big Fat Ebates payment! This quarters total? $215.60! Grand Total Ebates earnings? $1,066.55. Its completely ridiculous to me that some people shop out there and don't use Ebates. There is no fee, no extra work really on your part, just a simple click through. Have to order from Staples? Click through Ebates and earn 2% cash back, EVEN if you already have a staples account. Have to book a hotel, click through Ebates and earn up to 15% cash back. Want to order those shoes you saw but don't feel like going back to the store, click through Ebates and have them delivered, earn up to 15% cash back. Yes, you have to wait a lil bit for it, but hey, since its free money, what's the harm in waiting. I joined Ebates in 2008, and didn't really use it that often. Now when I have to book rooms for my tech's at work, i earn 3% cash back on top of the rewards my company earns on the amex card. Its free money for me and them!

Received ANOTHER Buzz Kit!

BzzAgent is on FIRE right now! i'm getting a campaign a week and loving it. My Filipo Olive Oil kit arrived yesterday. It had the most amazing conversion magnet inside. it gives you the conversion rate for replacing your butter with olive oil. Don't know if you've ever tried it but i constantly over oiled my food when doing replacements and now I know how much to shave off, so freaking excited to get cooking! For those that dont know,BzzAgent is a site that sends you products in bzzkits. These kits are to introduce you to the product and get your honest opinions about them. You then share with friends and family and post your reviews/interactions on the site. The bzzkits are 100% free and are based on your activity level. The more you do, the more you get! Right now, i'm in 6, YUP six! Amazing, best of all you get mypoints for doing reviews and spreading the word which can then be converted into gift cards!
