Review: Covergirl Mascara - Free from BzzAgent

Let me just say - this mascara is awesome. I have used it every day for over a month. Day. Night. Work. Date. It's perfect. I've received so many compliments on my lashes that I am thinking, 'People must really be able to see my lashes if they're going to comment on them." 

The wand was a little 'eh' when I first saw it. it didn't have as many bristles as I would have thought, but oh boy. Does it work. It adds a lot of mascara to your lashes (and because of it's shape, narrow, you can get those baby lashes in the corners!) and allows you to comb through...separating them and making them look like perfect lashes.

Tips: I put the tube in my bra against my skin as i do the rest of my makeup and hair, so that when you're ready for the mascara (to complete any look), it's warmed up and goes on that much easier. 

I highly recommend that you try this at least once. I know I'll be buying it again. I got this product for free through BzzAgent. My free sample was full size, and I also received some $2 off coupons to share the love =)

Bzz Agent Vidal Sassoon London Luxe - Permanent Hair Colour in Runway Red

Ellie tried out this beautiful hair colour, and the results speak for themselves. Here's her experience:

My Rating 5/5

I was actually pleasantly surprised with this product. I have tried MANY box colours in the past and was frequently disappointed so when I tried this colour I promised myself to really critique everything

The first thing I remember when mixing the colour was that I was pretty sure it was actual professional colour you get at the beauty supply in a one use, easy to use bottle. Mixing was super easy, no need to measure or add any pigment colours to get the vibrant look. 

The next thing that I LOVED was that finally a colour company did not provide you with oversized sandwich gloves to make you colour your hair with; you got actual rubber gloves that fit your hands perfectly. These avoided me taking the gloves off half way through due to frustration. For once I managed to colour my hair without having stained hands for a few days, or having to buy proper gloves separately; definitely a win in my book. 

Application was pretty simple just point and squeeze. One tip would be to not rush the shaking process before applying to your hair. I was very excited to start the colour transformation that I did not shake the bottle as long as directed. As such when I first applied the colour to my hair the first liquid that came out was some unmixed peroxide, after shaking the mixture for 10 more seconds (as directed) everything was mixed properly. The only down side was that a very small patch of my hair was a little lighter than the rest as it effectively developed a little more than the rest. Since I caught my mistake pretty quick it was not noticeable unless I pointed it out. 

One thing I can suggest is to know your hair, and what you can get away with work wise before attempting to do such a vibrant colour. For me I have very dark brown hair that doesn’t like to take to colour very easily so I kept the colour in about 10 min longer than directed but it turned out to be the exact vibrancy that I was looking for. Since I work in an office I needed to make sure that my hair would not be too “much”. I consulted the handy results images based on hair colour on the box and it was pretty spot on. 

All in all I was very happy with the whole process of using this product from start to finish. It had easy to follow instructions, super easy application, and the colour came out exactly how I wanted it. The best part was that weeks after colouring it the colour has not faded.  

Thanks Ellie! I really appreciated her taking the time to help me out with this Bzz Campaign, I was too scared to go red after being a blonde for ever! You can follow Ellie on Twitter here: @elethari
