Garnier Fructis BzzAgent


I received the Garnier Triple Nutrition from BzzAgent to review. I was excited to try this since I have really incredibly dry hair. I also have a lot of split ends, so I was quite excited to try this product to help me repair my ends and make my hair appear healthier and shiny.
You can use this on you hair and skin.
Below is a picture of my ends and you can see some of my split ends. 

Below is a picture of my hair just after using the Garnier Fructis Triple nutrition Dry hair oil.
Just be sure to use it sparingly or you could have greasy hair.





You can also use this for your skin which is the was I prefer to use it. A little spritz is great. As long as you use it properly. 
For more information see Garnier Fructis Facebook Page and like them HERE.
Thank you to bzzagent for giving me the opportunity to try out this product. If you would like to join BzzAgent click HERE!

Morning Star review


I was so lucky to be able to get in on the BzzAgent Morning Star campaign. I got the Chik Patties,  Grillers Prime Veggie Burger, Asian Veggie Patties and Regular Grillers.
I love the taste of these products.
The Chik Patties are almost exactly like a regular chicken patty. The crunchy top coat and the "meaty" inside is delicious (textured vegetable protein). 140 calories.I like to cut them in slices after cooking for my kids and they love them too. They cannot tell the difference. My sister-in-law attempted to give her boys the Veggie Burgers, but when they heard they were Veggie Burgers they said NO WAY! so she told them how about "Chicken" Patties. Of course they agreed and guess what?! They LOVED them LOL. She still to this day refuses to tell them they were not chicken. My kids love them no matter. They accept it just because it tastes great!








The Asian Veggie Patties were great too! I was a little shocked when the taste had a little kick to them. I was not expecting that at all. You can see and taste all the veggies in them. I loved that! There are Water chestnuts, celery, onion, bamboo shoots, and more! 100 calories. These are all Kosher too. 




Check out the Morning Star web page HERE for some unexpected recipes. These are a must try.
TRY THIS!
You can also take these Asian Veggie Patties and chop them up and add them to your stir-fry too. They already have amazingly good veggies in them and to add them to some cabbage, onion, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, snow peas and french beans too. stir-fry them together with a little Oyster sauce and fish sauce just divine! You can eat it with or without rice depending on if you want to reduce and have a little less carbs. Either way it is delicious!

chop the broccoli & cabbage in to large chunks 
slice the bell peppers
cut onions in slim slices
cut the patties into slices
Heat the patties thru with a touch of canola oil in the pan

Add the onions and cook thru and add the rest of the veggies and a teaspoon of chopped garlic
Add oyster sauce and fish sauce to taste
DONE and YUM!

SMARTFOOD® SELECTS

I was part of the BzzCampaign for 
SMARTFOOD® SELECTS
Although I was part of the campaign my shipment did get "lost" in the mail. I think some happy neighbor accepted and ate it. Good for them, but sad for me. 
I went ahead and purchased 2 bags from my local grocery store. You can see they had many varieties. All the bags were $3.49 
  I purchased one bag of  hummus popped chips in Feta Herb and the other bag in Garlic Tomato Basil. 

The texture was very nice and crisp with a bit of a nice chew at the same time. You can see all the herbs on the chip. It is quite strong in flavor. 
Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chip
 I like how it has a resealable closure to maintain it air tight when sealed. The bag
 It has about 3-3.5 servings per bag.

Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chip

 I have to admit to attempting to bring a bag to work and share with my co-workers, but It happened to be an extremely longer drive than usual and I ended up eating the whole bag. I never got to share it, but I have to say I enjoyed it. The flavors are very bold. If you like a strong flavored chip than you will really enjoy it. My only complain is that it needs more in the bag. You can check out SMARTFOOD SELECTS Facebook page HERE or smartfood.com to find out about all the flavors and types of snacks available. 

Thank you for checking out my blog!

UNREAL Candy unjunked review

I was sent coupon to get this product for free to try and give my honest opinions from Bzzagent.
 UNREAL(TM) Candy
I was very interested in trying out this candy. Although I am not a major candy eater, I do from time to time like to eat some chocholate. I am very aware that an excess of sugar in you diet can lead to belly fat. I often try to avoid added sugar and sweets as much as possible. Those little candy bars during Halloween have more sugar in it than you need in an entire day if you eat just 2 little pieces. That's awful! So when I read the contents of each bar I was pleasantly surprised.

EXAMPLES:
Peanutbutter cups (reeses) 11g sugar vs 21g
Chocolate caramel nougut (milkyway) 19g sugar vs 35g
Chocolate candy shell (m&m) 17g sugar vs 31g

for more information on UNREAL Candy check them out here or on their FB PAGE here

I appreciate that they get their coloring for their candies from food like
Blue - cabbage
Green - Tumeric root and cabbage
Purple - beets
orange - Achiote tree seed
yellow - tumeric root

Not artificial dyes

Glade Expressions Collection review



This was sent to my from BzzAgent to review and give my honest opinion
You can goto their website for more information http://glade.com/ or goto their facebook page

Included was:
  1. 1 coupon for a free starter kit
  2. 1 coupon for a free diffuser starter kit
  3.  coupons to share with family and friends
I really liked the packaging of these glade expressions. I purchased a "few" with my coupons. Not only the free one, but a "few" more for all areas of my house. Here are a couple areas I have them in ...





 Overall I really enjoy the scent of all 3 scents I purchased. (cotton mandarin reminds me of fresh laundry, fuji apple & Cardamon spice it's like christmas, and pineapple & mangosteen)
Here are the scents available:


Cotton & Italian Mandarin - Open your home with the bright, breezy blend of cotton and sparkling citrus, honeydew and sandalwood*
Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice - A ripe, spicy blend of sweet pears and crisp apple with a dash of cinnamon and clove that warms and invigorates
Lavender & Juniper Berry - Lush lavender blends with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose to relax the senses and open your home
Pineapple & Mangosteen - Evoke a tropical paradise with the blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower


 You can purchase these in just about anywhere you go, from grocery stores to drug stores. I love how it removes the smell and in it's place is the nice clean smell all over. 
Thank you to Bzzagent and Glade for letting me have a fresh take on these new Glade Expressions! Check out Bzzagent.com if you would like to get in on trying new and exciting things!


Thanks,
Annette

Covergirl Tone Rehab foundation and powder reviewThis is a photo of the from BzzAgent

This is the Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2in1 foundation and powder. This was sent by BzzAgent to try and give my honest opinion.


Bzz Kit included
  1. Welcome Letter
  2. Official BzzGuide
  3. Multiple coupons to share with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers
  4. 1 Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab Foundation in #155 Soft Honey
  5. 1 Covergirl & Olay Pressed Powder in #350 Medium

Kit sent











Interesting product and the packaging is very sleek, pretty and easy to use.
Love that it has a pump
This foundation has a very light clean floral scent. It states that one pump will cover your whole face. This is true. The perfect amount is dispensed thru the pump.  It goes on very silky smooth. My skin felt so soft and hydrated after the application. I like to apply it using my fingers and use a large stippling brush after blending it all over to just smooth out and soften up the look. Adding the pressed powder after gives additional coverage and mattifies the look. I just loved the final look. I do have hyper-pigmentation and it does not cover it completely even with concealer, but I have yet to find any product that can do this for me. This has a med-full coverage.
The pressed powder is wonderful too. I used a fluffy brush at first and I didn't notice much coming off onto my brush. Using the puff provides more coverage if that is what you desire and gave a touch more color. 
The lasting power is not all day and can tend to transfer if you touch your face frequently as I do. I did notice that it does not last for my entire busy day. After my long day at work I goto the gym. It doesn't stay thru my sweating and becomes a patchy look. I will definitely use this on the days I do not goto the gym, cause it is a perfect match to my skin and love how it makes me look and feel. The only thing that can make this better is to give it a stronger staying power.
  • Price: about $13.99-$16.49 This is a display I saw at my local CVS
  • Shades: There are 14 shades in the foundation and 6 shades in the pressed powder.
  • Final Thoughts: I love the texture and consistency of this foundation and of course can I say again the color match was perfect. The combination of the foundation and powder is a perfect pair and made it a picture perfect look. You will possibly need to touch up thru out the day if you tend to touch your face as I do. The one pump is great, the perfect amount and if you feel the need for a little more coverage you can add more foundation to needed areas. 

This is a photo I took from my local CVS and look they have my color!
They did not have the powder at this CVS, but found it at another.
You can goto http://covergirl.com/ and get color matched. or their FB page http://facebook.com/covergirl 
This was sent to me by BzzAgent to review and give my honest opinions. 

Before photo I do have some eye makeup on and no foundation,
you can see how prominent my hyper-pigmentation is
and After photo using the foundation and pressed power. It helps minimize my flaws.
Smile please :)

UNREAL candy Bzzcampaign



I am so excited about being accepted in the Unreal Candy campaign. 
I can't wait to taste it and see if it is as good as it looks. 

I really am looking forward to trying the chocolate peanut butter (the one on the far right) it has 11g sugar compared to the other one that looks like it at 21g sugar! That really is UNREAL. I try to pay close attention to the sugar content in things cause I know that sugar contributes to the dreaded BELLY FAT. I am sure we all want to avail that. I will let you know when I give it a try!

I really like the packaging if you pay attention it is not just geometrical shapes it actually says UNREAL.

I appreciate that they get their coloring for their candies from food like 
Blue - cabbage
Green - Tumeric root and cabbage
Purple - beets
orange - Achiote tree seed
yellow - tumeric root
