Quickie Review: NYC Big Bold Gloss

Well, if it weren't for the awesome free things Influenster gives me, I would not have written this blog post at all.  I am not a fan of this product, but I'll start out with the pros:
~it does make my lips look glossy
~you get a lot of product for a small price

Alright, now for the cons:
~the applicator wand is HUGE
~said wand picks up way too much products
~the formula is really sticky
~it does not plump the lips like the brand claims


Overall, I would not purchase this with my own money.  It looked interesting as a possible dupe for a higher end plumping gloss, but it just does not do the job.

Until next time,

BzzKit Kroger Skillet Meals

Let me take you back to dinner last night at my house.......This will be a review, led by photos, of a BzzKit I received from BzzAgent.

 The main course

 The sauce looks funny because it comes out in frozen chunks. Don't worry though, they turn into creamy bliss after being heated thoroughly. 

 The main issue I have with this main dish---the sodium content. For those who have high blood pressure, I do not suggest choosing this particular skillet meal. Maybe one of the other flavors will have lower sodium, but I doubt it.

 Mmmm, garlic bread.  This baby heats up in the oven in 8-10 minutes also like the skillet meal.

 To complete and round out the meal, I prepared this salad. LOVE!

 There was plenty in the bag for a third salad as well. In fact, I believe these three products could feed a family of four.

 I had a lot of left over garlic bread. It would be cool if you could buy just half a loaf of this type of garlic bread.

And this is what the main course looks like all heated up and ready to eat.

Overall:

I love that everything in the meal gets done around the same time.  Timing is one of the most stressful parts about cooking.  This meal takes the guesswork out of it.  I think this is a great option for a small family who is crunched for time or not the best at cooking.  All you have to be skilled at is turning on the stove/oven!  If you can use a microwave, you can heat up this meal in 10mins!

I received coupons to get these products for free at Kroger, from BzzAgent.  Join BzzAgent here.
