Covergirl & Olay BzzCampaign! UPDATE WITH REVIEW

  • Posted on August 21, 2012 at 10:53 PM

Hello, this is BzzAgent MizCouponista reporting for duty. 🙂 Once again I’m blessed to have been chosen to participate in a BzzCampaign. This time I get to play with make-up. I was sent a full-sized bottle of Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-one Foundation AND Covergirl & Olay Pressed Powder! Did I mention it was FREE. uh huh! Wait, I also got 20 coupons. If you want one,you know where to find me! 🙂

Within the next few days I’m going to stop my usual make-up routine and try this stuff out. I’ll let you know how it goes.

~D

UPDATE: loved it. It blended so well nobody could tell I was wearing it!

On the flip-side, it made me break out on my T-Zone. I tried just using the foundation, same thing happened. Now wanting to give up I just used the powder alone. The coverage wasn’t as good. I would still recommend it to others. Just not to those who have senistiv skin.

As a BzzAgent I received the make-up, and coupons to share. All opinions in this review are 100% mine.

Bulu Box ~ August 2012

  • Posted on August 21, 2012 at 10:20 PM

Once again WOO HOO FOR BULU!  Here’s to another month of discovering a healthier ME. Here are the 5 samples + bonus I received from Bulu Box this month.

Elementz Nutrition ~ A protein shot. This little 2.5oz shot contains as much protein as four eggs without fat or extra sugar. This one bottle retails for $5- half the cost of your Bulu box right there!

Vplenish ~  It’s a taste free vitamin boost that you can mix into anything. Does not contain calories, gluten, caffeine, artificial colors/flavors or preservatives. You can get 2,000 of these packets for $12.18 on Amazon. Making these samples worth less than a penny each.

 

 

Click Espresso Protein Drink ~ A kick of espresso that meets the sustained energy of protein. It contains 2 shots of espresso, 15 grams of protein and 23 vitamins and minerals with only 120 calories. This sample is worth $1.93 (Came with $5 and free shipping off your first order)

BONUS Shower Pill ~ Athletic Body Wipe. It’s the perfect body wipe for that midday workout when you just don’t have time to take a shower and freshen up after. The cloth is 9″x 8″ and seems to be really thick. You can get a 10-pack for $12.50 making this sample worth $1.25

 

 

Probulin. ~ 5 day supply! This product is meant to replenish the good bacteria in your digestive system with seven strains of live microorganism probiotics.   This sample is worth $8.33 (This also came with a web address to get a free copy of Probiotics for Dummies AND 20% your order.)

Immuno-Viva Defend + Energy ~  This is meant as a boost of energy as well as support for your immune system. One of these packets (mixed with water) has 4x the amount of calcium as a glass of orange juice. It’s also a way to provide natural energy and hydration. Each packet has a sample value of $1.17 (Also came with a 20% off coupon)

 

 

After totaling values it appears this box is worth $18.85. Almost double the subscription cost! This box came with one final offer. 🙂 I got a scan tag to send a FREE box to a friend.

Using Twitter to Find Giveaways

  • Posted on August 21, 2012 at 7:10 PM

If you are a serious sweepstakes/giveaway hunter like I am here is another way to find *hot* giveaways for stuff YOU want: TWITTER!

I’m still new to using Twitter to it’s fullest potential. I’ve had my account for over a year and I barely surpassed 1000 tweets recently. I don’t know that I ever will master it. I’m willing to try though. Now that I know what it can truly get me, I say BRING IT!  First of all, just like couponing and  sample hunting, create a Twitter account just for giveaways. Most if not all require that you re-tweet to enter. This will save your friends from being bombarded with “Contest Tweets” OK now let’s get started!

Use Twitter Search 

  • Think about what you need/want.
  • Search Twitter by item type or brand. Example: ”Clothing giveaway” or “Sephora giveaway.”
  • Scroll through the tweets and click on the hyperlinks of the giveaways that interest you.
  • Each blog is different. Make sure you follow the directions exactly or you’ll forfeit the entry.
  • Usually find a “Tweet” button on the blog giveaway post to complete your Tweet.
  • Go to your Twitter home page.
  • Click on your latest Tweet to see “details.”
  • When you click on “details” look for a URL unique to that Tweet.
  • Copy the URL and go back to the blog giveaway page and paste the URL to finish your Tweet entry.
  • Use Twitter to re-Tweet.

Follow Up

  • Most blogs allow one Tweet entry per day. The more you are able to enter, the higher your chances of winning.
  • To see previous entries, go to your Twitter home page. Click on Tweets.
  • Click on hyperlinks of the previous day’s entries and you can reenter from the blog’s giveaway post again.

Winning

  • Most blogs will send an e-mail and allow 48 hours for a reply with a name and address. I have found these contests are legitimate. They are new products sent from a company (not a blog) or from a contracted marketing firm. Remember, make sure you respond to contest entries that you’ve sought out and entered.
  • When the item arrives, send a quick reply to the blogger. If the prize fails to arrive for six weeks, contact the blogger who has direct contact with the company.

Obviously, the more time you devote to this, the more often you will win. It’s been slow for me at first, but I’m beginning   to receive 1-2 FREE  items a week.  As I put more time into it, I’m sure my rewards will grow greatly.
