I love the addition of this Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment to my skin care regimen.  I have been using the BHA and AHA gels for months with awesome results and this was something that was sent to me for free to product test through bzzagent.  I was advised not to use this retinol product at the same time I was using my BHA and AHA gels, so I use the gels in the morning and this retinol in the evening before bed.  I have never had a bad reaction to this and my skin has never looked better.  In only a few weeks of use, about 5 times a week, the light brown spot on my cheek near my ear is all but disappeared.  My pores are non existent, my skin is brighter, my skin feels great.  The scent is very mild and kind of smells like light citrus, like oranges.  The amount that comes out in 1 pump is enough to do my face and under my chin.  It is not greasy at all, absorbs very quickly and feels lightweight, actually non existent on my skin after application.  Now, true, I am using the AHA and BHA gels as well, but, I saw more of a change after starting this Paula’s Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment.  I have really never been happier with the appearance of my skin and after only just turning 38, I am not kidding when I say people mistake me for my mid to late 20's all the time.  I know I owe it mostly to the addition of Paula’s Choice products about 1.5 years ago and most recently, really pin pointing the Paula’s Choice products that work best for my skin.  I am a HUGE Paula’s Choice fan and more specifically, a Paula's Choice Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment fan.  Thank you to Paula's Choice for the opportunity to try this product as it has quickly become one of my favorites.  I will be more than happy to purchase multiple bottles once I am through with this one.  I can also say that the family and friends I gave samples to have for the most part also went ahead and purchased their own full sized bottles they loved the results so much.

Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid is nothing short of a miracle!


I just simply cannot say enough GREAT things about this Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid.  I have struggled with having my nose completely covered in tiny blackheads.  I have tried every product you can think of and in all ranges of price.  Cheap to very expensive, gentle to harsh and nothing worked.  I tried seeing estheticians and dermatologists and all of them were surprised by the amount of small blackheads and try as they might with their tools of the trade, no one could ever totally get rid of them.  I also cannot tell you how horrible some of the treatments were, drying my skin, or causing severe redness or stinging.  That is, until I was lucky enough to be selected to product test this Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid.  I cannot tell you how happy I am, how great my skin looks overall and how amazing it is to me and my current esthetician that almost all of the tiny little annoying blackheads on my nose are all but GONE!  My skin glows, it is even in tone, the fine lines around my mouth and eye as well as on my forehead are diminishing and my skin is as clear as a bell.  I use it in the morning and in the evening and when I say I will never be without this product, I mean it.  It is gentle enough not to cause any redness, burn or dry my skin out, but strong enough to have dissolved all my blackheads, remove the dead skin and make my skin glow. It looks like I am having a facial every day and I am only going every 6-8 weeks now because of this miracle in a bottle.  I know not everything works for every one, but this worked for me after everything else failed. I am forever grateful for this product and so are the friends and family I passed my smaller bottle samples out to for them to try for free as well.  This stuff is great and made a believer out of me.  I have used other Paula's Choice products in the past with good results and have continued purchasing them, but this is something I cannot express my happiness about enough and will always have in my beauty cabinet.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this product and for giving me peace at last that the main skin concern I had is now no longer an issue.  I am over the moon!!!

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a Game Changer...


I love olive oil, I use it for everything and not just in the kitchen.  I have been known to remove stickers and lube up squeaky doors in the house, lol...  But let's get back to the cooking test.  I was lucky enough to be able to try out Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I am glad I did.  BzzAgent gave me an opportunity to try Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil for free, yes, they shipped me a bottle to try and blog about.  Now, on a normal day, I usually use Kirkland brand olive oil as I go through so much, I need to buy a large container at a time, but it is an average taste to me.  The first thing I noticed was that the Filippo Berio is so light, fresh and full of flavor, I forgot how delicious olive oil could really be.  I have used it to make a salad dressing with balsamic vinegar and it was awesome, very refreshing and flavorful.  Look at the posted pictures of an amazing dairy free sandwich spread  that I made with it.  Man I could taste the difference, without a doubt.  It just tasted cleaner and less oily if that makes any sense.  I also made a Mediterranean pasta dinner that is super fresh and delicious that only uses a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice salt and pepper.  This time, I served it to my husband who had no idea I was using a new olive oil and he noticed a difference in the flavor.  Again, the Filippo Berio is lighter, cleaner and fresher tasting and really helps bring the food to life.  I must say, I am very pleased with this brand of olive oil and I will be not only looking for, but buying the largest bottle of it I can find at the grocery store.  Filippo Berio has really brought my taste buds alive! 
 These are the ingredients for the dairy free Avocado Basil Sandwich Spread
 The finished product.  Replace your mayo with this and not only save calories, but surprise your taste buds.
 The ingredients for the Mediterranean Pasta dish
 All mixed together, mmmmmmm...
Garnish with a little feta and prepare to have your mind blown

I just recently received Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel  through BuzzAgent so I could give it try and tell you all about it.  Let me start by telling you a little about my skin.  It is generally clear, no real issues, other than light brown spots below my eyes and on my nose from sun damage.  Normally I cannot see these issues in the winter as I am not out in the sun, but I am gearing up for a vacation and have been to the tanning beds. Well, that has brought those pesky spots out and receiveing the Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel could not have come at a better time.  I have started putting a towel over my face in the tanning bed as the product tells you that it will make you more prone to sunburn.  I have been using the product for about 8 days now and I have to say, I am seeing a difference.  My skin feels smoother, softer and more hydrated, which was not what I was expecting from a peel.  I would have bet that my skin would have dried out and become dry as that is usually what happens when I use skin peels.  I would also say that I am seeing the darker brown spots fading slightly, which is awesome.  I know that I should be seeing really amazing results after 4 weeks of use, so I will follow back up with all of you in 3 more weeks.  The product is super easy to use, just apply a thin layer on your face before bed and voilĂ !  That is all you have to do to see softer, brighter skin with fewer brown spots.

What is the BEST razor EVER! The Schick Hydro Silk® razor of course!



I have used countless razors in my 20 years of shaving, but none have allowed me to shave without shaving cream!  I was skeptical at first, but once I wet the Schick Hydro Silk® razor, I did a small test on my calf and I was so excited by how soothing and moisturizing it felt.  I was able to shave my armpits, arms, bikini area AND legs in less time than it takes me to do just one leg.  I do not have to stop and lather up with shaving cream that just clogs up the blades on my razor and my skin is left feeling so soft and smooth.  My husband was especially surprised by how soft and silky my legs felt afterwards.  I have already ordered blade refills as this is going to be my ONLY razor from now on.  I cannot tell you how pleased I am with its performance as it has been 3 days since shaving and my skin still looks soft, silky and smooth and the shave was so close, my legs still look freshly shaved.  I also like the ergonomic handle, it was lightweight without feeling like it would break or fly out of my hand.  It was also nice that it came with a suction cup hanger so it can dry properly in my shower.  It seems they thought of everything and I look forward to telling everyone I know what a great product this is.  I must disclose that I did in fact receive this razor for free from none other than the amazing Buzz Agent so I could review it.  All I can say is, THANK YOU!!!

I had the opportunity to try COVERGIRL blastflipstick in 3 different shades for a new BuzzAgent BzzCampaign.  I have to say, I was very excited about this campaign as I LOVE trying new beauty products and when the BzzKit arrived, I could not wait to open it.  I was super excited to see that they had sent me 3 different shades to try out, but when I saw the colors, I knew they would probably not work for me.  I opened the packaging and applied the first shade, way to bright for my taste, but that was something I was going to put aside so I could be impartial about application and wear-ability.  It went on beautifully, gliding along my lips and saturating then with rich color.  The flip side of the deep color was shimmery.  I applied it only to the center of my lips first to create the first "look."  I have to say, having the ability to customize the look was pretty cool.  I then went for the full lip cover with the shimmer and that did help to tone down the brightness, but I was not crazy about how the shimmer looked on me personally.  Now, that being said, it was time to test wear-ability, how long the color lasted before needing to be reapplied.  I have to say, I ate a sandwich and had some iced tea and was pretty impressed with how good the application still looked.  Now of course after a meal like that, most women would expect to reapply anyway, but you really wouldn't have to, which was nice.  My personal beauty style is very natural and neutral, but for a woman who likes to punch it up, be a little more daring, or for a awesome night out, these colors would work.  I think women would be pleased with the ease of application and the durability of the color as well as the nice selection of colors available to choose from.  Overall, it is a great product, but it just doesn't work for my personal taste.  That should not, however, discourage you from using this interesting and innovative lipstick.
