BzzAgent: Covergirl Blast Flipsticks Review

I am nowhere near as beautiful as Sofia Vergara, that's a fact.  But what's true is that I really love getting FREE stuff!  I am so happy to have the opportunity to review the newest line of Covergirl lipsticks called "Blast Flipsticks".  Each Flipstick comes with two different colors.  One is a lighter, more shimmery color that can be used during the day and the other is a dark, bold color that you can wear at night.  The texture of the lipstick itself is really creamy and the color actually stays on for quite a good amount of time.  What makes this lipstick somewhat unique is that you can mix both colors to produce a new color effect, which I appreciate.  It's like getting two lipsticks for the price of one!  For those who know me, I'm all about a bargain.  :)

But you know what?  I wasn't a huge fan of the two colors BzzAgent sent as samples.  The colors minx and vixen were definitely not made for my skin color.  I personally would never choose these colors for myself but appreciate the free products very much. I liked the texture though and the fact that the color didn't stain my teeth and that the color remained on my lips for hours even between meals.  So I will use my coupons to try some different colors and hopefully I will find one I will like!  

THANKS BZZAGENT!

Aug 13: Mary Poppins
The movie combines a diverting story, songs, color and sequences of live action blended with the movements of animated figures. Mary Poppins is a kind of Super-nanny who flies in with her umbrella in response to the request of the Banks children and proceeds to put things right with the aid of her rather extraordinary magical powers before flying off again. Written by alfiehitchie

Aug 20: Hook
Peter Pan (Williams) has grown up to be a cut-throat merger and acquisitions lawyer, and is married to Wendy's granddaughter. Captain Hook (Hoffman) kidnaps his children, and Peter returns to Never Land with Tinkerbell (Roberts). With the help of her and the Lost Boys, he must remember how to be Peter Pan again in order to save his children by battling with Captain Hook once again. Written by Ed Sutton

Aug 27: Over the Hedge
Traveling raccoon con artist, RJ, arrives in a woods outside a human city in the Midwest, excited about the wonders that living near humans can bring hungry animals. What he finds, however, is an Amish-like community that is deathly afraid of humans, after their leader, Vern the tortoise (Shandling), has an encounter with human boys that terrifies him. Encouraged by RJ, however, the animals slowly venture over the hedge that separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the winter while they were sleeping, and what RJ shows them is a whole new world where humans leave tin cans full of fish and other food in big canisters, ripe for the taking. As they get closer and closer to humans, however, their comfortable lives in the woods appears to be threatened...

The free screening, which starts at 8 p.m., comes complete with candy, popcorn and, of course, locally crafted wine (for a small fee). Call 434-0319 for more information.

A younger Kate Hepburn finds herself at the center of a comical love triangle in “The Philadelphia Story.”

Wealthy Philadelphia socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn) married charming, handsome C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) in a moment of passion, then divorced him when his drinking got out of control. Now she’s got a new beau — aspiring politician George Kittredge (John Howard).

Tracy must chose between her ex-husband, her husband-to-be and an enterprising reporter (Jimmy Stewart) who has his own designs on the lovely lady.

Old Navy Shorts Party!!!

My friends and I had such a fabulous time at Old Navy (in San Luis Obispo, CA) trying on many different outfits and even some of the same exact outfits! Great minds think alike. :) I had originally planned it to be like the "Supermarket Sweeps" game show, where we were supposed to sweep through the store grabbing as many outfits as we could in a short amount of time and then try them on all real quick. We were only planning to be there for an hour due to other events we had to attend, but we ended up being at Old Navy for two hours! Plus it was kind of silly to think we would have room to have all 4 of us try on the outfits in the fitting rooms...on a SATURDAY. The place was packed!! There were long lines for the fitting rooms so we ended up taking over both fitting rooms in the men's section.

I was slightly irritated as well with customer service since I asked for the store manager right when we walked in, and this young kid who was an acting manager, gave me attitude right away saying the store's too busy for us to be doing the party. I explained to him that it was the only day that worked for all 4 of us so we had no choice. He told me that he had to talk to another manager (another young kid) and as I explained to her what was going on, with letter in hand, she told me she had to call someone to confirm the letter. So as we stood there for close to 10 mins waiting for her to get back, we just walked around and browsed through the racks. When she came back, she was still skeptical that the letter & the booklet I showed her were "real". So I had to show her the Crowdtap website on my phone to let her know I wasn't making it all up. *Sigh* But customer service did redeem themselves throughout our shopping experience. One in particular was very helpful as he made sure we were OK while we were trying on our outfits and he even helped take pics of us. Then at the checkout lane, the cashiers were shocked when we used our coupons but they were all very nice and accommodating. It all started out on the wrong foot but even though it didn't quite go as planned, we still had a really good time!

My friends Jenn, Corinne and Tiff were very excited to be able to partake in this Old Navy Shorts Party. I was really happy to be able to give them FREE outfits and shoes!! We ended up getting close to $375 worth of clothing and shoes for free. So thank you sooooooo much Crowdtap for picking me to host this party!!!! We love all the clothes and shoes. We heart you Old Navy and Crowdtap! :)
