lorialcorn2006 says "Village Naturals are Better than my favorite High end products " about Village Naturals Natural Mineral Bath Soak

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:23:41 GMT

In this economy we all know money is really a problem - Recently my husband lost his salary and works only on commission now . As a result of this I have to depend on my amazon gift cards (that I get for doing surveys) to buy my beauty products now. The other day I found myself with most of my bath salts and scrubs all used up . I was thinking I would end up using all my gift card money to buy just one jar of my favorite salt scrub from Philosophy . Than I thought maybe I should look around a bit first . As a result I went looking for cheaper items that I hoped would be passable and get me through these tough times . What I found were these products called Village Naturals being sold on amazon for 5.99 to 6.99 . I thought gosh this is really inexpensive, it must be really bad stuff for that amount of money - I looked around and I saw a nice large jar of bath salts in lavender and other fragrances that are 95% natural which is good- I also saw that you are getting a big bunch 31 oz is......

lorialcorn2006 says "Bounce dryer Bar ends dryer sheet cleanup " about Bounce Dryer Bar

lorialcorn2006 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:37:06 GMT

I received a sample of the bounce dryer bar from viewpoints and have had a few weeks to use it . I found that the Bounce dryer bar is very effective in making the clothing soft and static free . What I loved about it was, its quite a time saver because you have no messy dryer sheets everywhere . I use to use a lot of dryer sheets because just one of those never did the job well so I use to add 3 or 4 per load to get the correct amount of softness and clean scent for my laundry . The problem with doing that is you end up having dryer sheets everywhere . My dog Asia will seek out used dryer sheets to rip up and I have to be really careful keeping those used sheets away from her which was a real pain. (she dose the same thing with Kleenex lol)

I really liked the way the dryer bar lasted such a long time which makes it a better value than the sheets . The only thing I could suggest to bounce is see if you cant make the bar have a stronger scent . The bar softens and prevents static cling...

lorialcorn2006 says "Ritz Crackerfuls a very tasty snack " about Ritz - Crackerfuls

lorialcorn2006 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:45:47 GMT

First Im suprised that Im apparently the first to review these very tasty snacks from Ritz. these are a bit new but I wanted to let everyone know just how good they are . I use to eat a lot of crackers with caned cheese on them its a bit messy but a normal snack for me . Than I found out about the new Ritz Crackerfuls that are very tasty and so much less messy .

Ritz Crackerfuls come in a box of 6 really big individually wrapped cracker sandwiches filled with wonderful tasting cheese . They come in Cheddar and 4 cheese , the 4 cheese is my personal favorite . I love these in the evening watching TV and drinking my tea . They go really good with tea and provide a very satisfying snack .

These are very portable and never messy . They stay fresh and good because they are individually wrapped and one package is a nice filling snack that requires nothing else accept a good beverage . These are so popular around my house that they are the first thing to go after unpacking the groceries...

lorialcorn2006 says "Purevia a wonderful sweetener " about PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

lorialcorn2006 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:02:32 GMT

I got a nice sample of the new Purevia sweetener the other day . I usually do not like anything but sugar but I have been using this in my tea and its really very good . I drink a lot of tea about 20 cups a day and besides crystal light its all I drink on a regular basis . I thought this would make my tea taste really different but was suprised to find it was very tasty . I detected just a slight after taste but not to bad . For a no calorie sweetener its great , I mean its a no calorie sweetener what can you expect lol. so for a no Calorie sweetener its a lot better than the others I have tried and I have tried many . I also tried this on my cereal and its great ! In the cereal I did not get any after taste . I would recommend this to anyone who is on a sugar restricted diet or regular diet .I liked that the packets were very good at giving you the right amount of sweetness you want and that they are very portable . I use 2 packet in each cup of tea and its the same sweetness as would...

lorialcorn2006 says "Bic Soleil Bella A Very sharp Razor " about BIC Soleil Bella 4-Blade Razors

lorialcorn2006 — Thu, 21 May 2009 22:15:52 GMT

I decided to go ahead and try the Bic Soleil Bella Razors that I got in my bzz Campaign a few days ago.

I must say these are very sharp and you do have to be careful you do not nick yourself with them. I would definitely recommend using a shave cream while shaving.

This product has 4 blades which in my opinion may be to many for shaving sensitive areas and people with very sensitive skin may have a problem with shave bumps . I really liked the handle, its is easy to grip and very pretty . The shave head pivots well but the conditioner strip is just OK .

This razor will give you a close shave and may just make it so you do not have to shave so often. One of the things about these disposable razors is the price for 3 of them , its very pricey even at walmart . I suppose with coupons and sales you can get a better deal but I really did not see a big difference between this and other razors that cost less .These can sell from 6.00 to around 6.99 and thats a bit much when you can get...

lorialcorn2006 says "Mahatma Gourmet Rice -Flavourful,Healthy ,Delicious " about Mahatma Rice Basmati and Jasmine

lorialcorn2006 — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:40:09 GMT

I received this Mahatma Rice through bzz agent as a product test and was very excited to try it .

I have made it 3 times so far, 2 times with the Basmati Rice and once with the Jasmine rice. I used my steamer to cook the rice because its a easy and sure way to cook any kind of rice with no watching or worrying about over or under cooking . If you have a steamer for vegetables all you do is get out the rice basket that fits inside the big steamer basket add 2 cups water and 1 cup of rice. In this case I also added some dried onion chips to steam with the rice . I set the timer to steam for 45 minutes and let it go.

This make a lot of rice . after the rice was finished I added about a 1/2 stick of butter , some onion powder and some Bragg Kelp seasoning and salt . Than I steamed some mushrooms broccoli and peas and than mixed them with the finished rice . this makes a wonderful tasty side dish or if you like you could add some fish or scallops to it to make a healthy meal.

lorialcorn2006 says "Revitalift by L'Oreal A excellent product " about L'Oreal Advanced Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair

lorialcorn2006 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:44:05 GMT

I received a set if L'Oreal Revitalift advanced deep set wrinkle cream through bzzagent as a product test . I am really ,Really into skin care, I have many creams and lotions form very high end department stores so I was dubious about a cream you can just get at any drug store .

I have spent the last 2 years trying and comparing different High end skin care products to see which are the best, everything from Lancome to Perricone MD and everything in between .

What I found was this product goes on well and smooth , you get none of the shinny oily look that some creams have . I was actually suprised that after applying the L'Oreal product that my face looked very soft and mate with hardly any wait time to apply my makeup. With other creams I always had to wait for quite a while before even thinking about applying makeup but this cream drys very quickly.

I also was suprised to feel a difference in the way my skin felt after applying it- it was kinda warm and tingly but very nice ....

lorialcorn2006 says "Kraft has a big time winner in this cream cheese spread !" about Kraft - Philadelphia Sundried Tomato and Basil Cream Cheese Spread

lorialcorn2006 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:54:14 GMT

I was given a free coupon for the Tomato and basil Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese as a product test from viewpoints a few weeks ago .

We usually only buy the onion and chives flavour but I was excited to try the Tomato basil flavour.

I must say this is really tasty stuff ! I tried it on a few different kinds of bread and crackers . First, I tried was spreading it on some garlic Texas toast wow was that good . I also found it to be very tasty on ciabatta bread . I now realize just what Im missing out on by just buying the onion and chives flavour.

I also tried the tomato and basil on some crackers with some bacon bits mixed in, also very tasty . I am going to try out all the flavours now that I I'm better informed about how versatile and tasty these can be . Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese spreads has tons of fabulous flavours and I found its not just for bagels anymore .

Thanks viewpoints and Kraft for the coupon to try the new flavours !

lorialcorn2006 says "The Fragrance collection by glade-nice" about Glade The fragrance collection by glade

lorialcorn2006 — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 01:09:34 GMT

I Got in my Bzz Kit in this week for the fragrance collection by glade. I am Bzz Agent and this is a campaign they sent me to try out the product .

I have used many Glade products over the years and I found the fragrance collection to be a nice addition to the glade family.

The candles are very large and have 3 wicks for even burning . The candles are soy based and come in a variety of lovely scents.

The candle I have is scented with Currants and Acai berry and is very pretty .

This candle also comes in Lotus Bamboo and sheer white cotton, I have tried the Lotus Bamboo scent before some weeks ago it is also very pretty and stronger than the candle I'm currently using .

I think this is really good because the first one I tried I had to keep in a larger area for burning because of its strength but the currants and acai berry scent is suitable for smaller rooms such as a bedroom . all of these smell very nice a do fill a room with fragrance. they are also very long lasting as I was...

lorialcorn2006 says "Best mineral makeup " about Estee Lauder Nutritious Mineral Makeup

lorialcorn2006 — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:23:37 GMT

I just got in the new Estee Lauder Nutritous Mineral makeup with pomegranate . this product is now my favorite mineral makeup . it goes on nice and even with no sparkles that make mature skin look older , the shade is perfect for me I got the intensity 1 shade and its great . I also got a sample of the shade 3 which is way to dark for me so I'm using it as a blush . this is the best mineral makeup I have tried yet and I have tried many . most are to dark or have the sparkles in it that make me at 48 look older . I recommend this product highly . it also is full of skin loving ingredients and SPF 15 ....

lorialcorn2006 says "Max Factor Volume Couture mascara the best !" about Max Factor Volume Couture Mascara

lorialcorn2006 — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 18:39:48 GMT

I am a mascara junkie I sometimes only wear mascara and mineral makeup and lipstick .I was given some max factor makeup as a product test through bzz agent .

I was not sure I would like it as Im use to my Lancome and Estee lauder mascaras .

However I really like this mascara , the brush is way different and makes lashes long and full with absolutely no clumping or smudging . this is a very new and different brush design and it works very well providing even coverage and long lengths . I think its actually better than the lancome which costs about 19.99 a tube . I will definitely be recommending this product to anyone who uses mascara . If you have a chance to give this a try I know you will love it to --I have tons of mascara's that I get as gifts with purchase from different beauty promos but I'm really thinking I'm going to keep using this mascara , its the cleanest application Ive seen yet and lasts all day

Its also a very good value

lorialcorn2006 says "Breaks after 3 applications " about Avon Pro-to-Go Lipstick

lorialcorn2006 — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:47:34 GMT

I bought this Avon Pro-To-Go lipstick for 5.99 on special and I'm very glad that it did not cost me more because after 3 applications the item does not work . you cannot get the lipstick to roll up and the metal sleeve does not roll down so you cant apply the lipstick .

I have had no luck with Avon customer service . My invoice said it may not be necessary to return the product for refund and I do not want to pay out another 2.50 to send it back only to get a 5.99 refund.

I was told by there phone customer service that they are behind 6 months in answering emails because they only have 2 girls doing them. Well thats not not my problem . she was not helpful and told me to send the item back . I told her that the invoice says I may not need to send the item back to get a refund and she said in my case I would need to send it back to them at my expense.

buyer beware . its such a shame because I like most Avon products but with this kind of service I don't want to take anymore chances with...

lorialcorn2006 says "Great way to carry things to the beach " about Ziploc Big Bags

lorialcorn2006 — Fri, 23 May 2008 16:22:38 GMT

These ziplock big bags are a very economical way to store all kinds of items .

If you like to go to the beach just one of these will hold everything you need and they are see through so it makes them so much better than a duffel .

The double zipper keeps sand out and items dry .I also use these in-place of expensive space bags . They work very well to keep things organized with out the 8 or 9 dollar price tag of space bags - they also hold up much better I have a few space bags and found that after a while the air gets back in and they are no longer flat .

The ziplock big bags can be stuffed full and the seal stays closed and are made of really strong plastic. also the handle is a real good idea for carrying items to the car for travel . there are so many uses for these they really come in handy for any kind of organization project . I think these are not only a great value but they also save time . I recommend them to every one I know and they make a good gift to give someone who is...

lorialcorn2006 says "Good for you and tastes Great " about Silk Soy milk - Plain

lorialcorn2006 — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:59:49 GMT

I just wanted to say How much I love the Silk milk- I enjoy the plain in cereal its especially good in oatmeal and makes it nice and creamy.

I need to get more soy in my diet but always thought it would taste really bad I was given a product test through BZZ agent and now Im going to drink only silk milk .

one of the surprising facts about this stuff is the amazing shelf life , it stays fresh in the fridge for weeks after purchase, this is good because I usually only use milk in my cereal or for cooking .However after trying all the flavors I find myself craving the chocolate or vanilla .

I'm in my late 40s and soy milk is great for those hot flashes I get from time to time . I think everyone should give silk milk a try and keep some in the fridge to fall back on in-case your regular cows milk is to old to use . I got my silk milk about 4 weeks ago and its dated good till 7/20/08 now thats some shelf life ! and a long shelf life make for a great value money wise. I also found out...

lorialcorn2006 says "One touch One remote wonderful" about Logitech - Harmony One Remote

lorialcorn2006 — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:14:55 GMT

I received my Logitech Harmony One remote from Bzz agent product test at first I was worried that it would be hard to program but I found thats its easy to program and works like a dream.

We have a system that requires us to use the DVD player surround sound to remote to turn the TV up or down, This was always such a pain and we would also have to select TV viewing on the same remote to hear it yet switch to another remote to to select the imput for the TV depending on if we were watching a DVD or just cable . Watching TV became a remote control tag game that was often very frustrating .

With the Logitech harmony one universal remote we programed it through the computer and presto everything works as it should using only that remote . When I press the power button on the logitech it automatically turns everything on and selects the correct input channels for that unit . no more selecting AV1 or Component 2 etc to watch TV . This product comes with a charger base that its sits on to...

lorialcorn2006 says "Wonderful alternative to regular candles" about Glade Wisp Flameless Candle

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:11:48 GMT

love Glade wisp flameless candle- they work very very well

I keep mine on the low setting to save on oil but when I'm getting guests I pump it up full blast everyone always says my house smells great !.

Im a Bzz Agent and just received one from them to BZZ and this is such a good product its my pleasure to talk about it

I have a short dog with a very big tail , the poor thing is always knocking things off the coffee table ,with the flameless candle I don't have to worry about her running pass and getting burned on a candle. These last a long time and are decor friendly with many wonderful scents to choose from .

I think these are better than plug ins because you get the look and feel of a nice comforting candle totally without the worry , what more could you want .

With The Glade scented flameless candle you never have to worry about forgetting to put out a burning candle if you have to quickly leave the house .I found them to be very long lasting on the low setting

These are very much...

lorialcorn2006 says "Great to use on those stubborn age spots " about Lumedia Facial Brightener

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:12:40 GMT

I have or should say had some really large age spots on my face for a while ,I stopped tanning and kept out of the sun but that did not help the spots to fade very well -

I have use Kinerase face brightening cream with some results but when I ran out I thought I would try something different .I got this Lumedia face brightener as part of a promo deal from beauty.com and started using it on the remaining spots .I am very happy to say I am now almost spot free and my face is much brighter as well .

I use this only on the darkest spots first and than apply the Alphaderma CE over that . In combination both products work together to really make a difference in my complexion .

I did a review on the Alphaderma CE and added some before and after photos so you can see the big differences these products make ,

Just to let you know my face would have a ton of freckles if I did not use a sunblock- I'm one of those people thats face literally gets covered in them and they are very dark and large so I now...

lorialcorn2006 says "Fantastic stuff works like a charm " about PHYTO defrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm 3.3 oz

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:54:53 GMT

This Phyto botanical hair relaxing balm is so far the best of the best

I also really like the Paul Mitchell super skinny serum that I did a review for a while back, but this balm is better in that it lasts and lasts . you only need to use a bit and all frizz is gone from your hair and is adds tons of shine without any greasy or flat spots.

Lots of de-frizzers work for a while but after a few hours the frizz is back especially if its a windy day or you are running around doing stuff in the sun ect - this balm stays with your hair throughout the day and way into the nex,t I actually had no problems until my next shampoo as I only shampoo every other day or so per strict orders from my salon .

It really brushes in nice and when using a flat iron or curling iron you really get a finished salon look .

I also like that it has no scent , now I like some of my products to be scented but by the time I'm done with shampoo,conditioner,and hairspray I already have enough smells in my hair to send a...

lorialcorn2006 says "Very good cleansing cream " about Bliss Sleeping Peel Cleansing Cream 651043020830

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:33:21 GMT

I actually got this product through there sale a month ago I only paid 6.50 so I thought I would give it a try, I had received a sample of bliss products before and wanted to look into them more .

This is a very good cleansing cream it should be used in the morning and before bed ,Its an age-minimizing 2 in 1 formula with lots of beta-hydroxy . it stimulates circulation and removes excess oil and makeup- It really gets your face clean and perfect

This cream is very refreshing and helps brighten the complexion It usually sells for about 20 dollars but you may be able to catch it still on sale at the bliss website.

lorialcorn2006 says "For the money its not the best " about Lorac Mascara Black

lorialcorn2006 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:22:53 GMT

I always wanted to try Lorac products I bought this mascara to give it a try and I found that its not much better than drugstore brands.

It takes a long time to apply and though you do not get any clumping you also do not get very much volume either . It usually only takes a few swipes of any mascara to get my lashes in shape but this took many many swipes .it also does not seem to last all day .

To me it seems dry and difficult to apply .I did not think it worth the money and this stuff is not cheep .I will be sticking to my lancome mascara in the future and not be buying this again
