L'Oréal® Paris Lash Boosting Serum/Mascara (Product Review)

I am a Bzz Agent & had the pleasure of participating in the Bzz Campaign for L'Oréal® Paris Lash Boosting Serum & Mascara. This special combination of products is designed to actually make your lashes grow! YESSS!!! I was so excited about this, as my lashes have thinned out & lost length over the years.

I was sent the L-Oreal Paris Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum, which you apply in the morning underneath your mascara & on bare lashes at night. Lashes are supposed to appear thicker & multiplied in just 4 weeks with less lash fall-out when removing make up. I was also sent the L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara, which has a serum-enriched Lash Boosting Primer on one end & an ultra-lengthening mascara topcoat on the other end. This is supposed to build longer, thicker, fuller lashes when you apply it. First you apply the Lash Boosting Primer to prep lashes & boost their condition, then apply the Ultra-Lengthening Mascara topcoat for 80% longer lashes instantly.

So........did it work? I am happy to say...yes! I am not paid to review this product, and as with all my reviews, I give my honest opinion (plus that's part of being a Bzzz Agent). I did miss a few days within the 4 week period, but I have noticed my lashes are longer, have more fullness, and I do have less lashes falling out, all confirming L'Oreal's claims. So way to go, L'Oreal! The mascara is also a great mascara, one of the best I've ever tried. I would post pictures but our digital camera is on the fritz. If I can get it back in working order, I will add in pictures later.

You can buy the products separately or together in a value package. The value package includes both products for $24.95. Separately, the Lash Boosting Serum is $14.95 & the Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara is $12.95.

More information:
  • Ophthalmologist- and allergy-tested, and safe for sensitive eyes & contact lens wearers
  • Available in the L'Oreal Paris cosmetics section in major retailers such as Walmart, Target, CVS & Walgreens
  • Visit www.lorealparisusa.com to learn more

Also, please give me your feedback & let me know if YOU have used this product & what you think about it!

Become a ChaCha Guide~Earn Money at Home

Have you heard of ChaCha? ChaCha is a service that mobile phone users can use to text or call in a question (any question!) and have it answered by a ChaCha guide in a text message sent to the inquirer's cell phone. ChaCha is free to use, but they pay their "guides" for each question answered. I am not a ChaCha guide, but I'm an expeditor & I pick up some extra cash whenever I log in. What I love about ChaCha is that I can do it whenever I want, for as long as I want, whether it be for just 1 minute or a couple of hours (ha! that never happens with this busy momma). As an expeditor, I don't actually search for answers & send them to customers, I correct spelling, grammar, put questions in readable form (yeah, sometimes they are quite confusing), "categorize" the questions that need to be sent on to guides, and send customers quick answers when they are available for their particular question. It can actually be quite fun!

Right now, ChaCha is asking us to ask our friends who are interested in working with ChaCha to sign up. You will receive some training information online and then will be required to take an assessment to see if you would make a good guide. There is no cost to become a ChaCha guide. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please go to http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/
Very important: You will need to enter in my email address when prompted during the sign up process to let ChaCha know I sent you! It is qysova @ yahoo dot com (remove spaces & put in email format).

My personal warning: ChaCha users ask ALL kinds of questions, and I mean ALL, and you will be required to answer them ALL if you become a guide (unless they are abusive which you will learn more about if you become a guide). So this might not be for everyone!

Homeschool Freebie Just for You!


Good morning, ladies. As some of you may know, I am a homeschooling mom. I currently teach 2 of our children at home, and next year I'm going to add one more. My 4-year-old is soooooooooooo excited to be starting kindergarden next year! Yesterday I just ordered our school books for next year, and I am so excited for them to come.

Along that same line, I just got an email from my friend, Cindy Rushton. She is "pumped" about her Ultimate Homeschool Expo resource library. Actually, she is so "pumped" that she has just shared a sneak peek into her Membership Site.

You see one of the neat things about the Ultimate Homeschool Expo is that everything is ONLINE as more than a convention--it is the ULTIMATE homeschool resource library.

With every online event that Cindy plans, she builds a private, exclusive Membership Site that includes everything from the UHSE in one place--it has audios (from all of the sessions and from the bonus gifts that her speakers give to us), ebooks, complete unit study guides, articles, printable notebooking pages, cookbooks, on and on. I can't believe all of the things that we receive for only $39.95. It is truly ULTIMATE! And this is just perfect for me since I don't really have the ability to go to a homeschool convention. This is so much more convenient.

Anyway, back to the reason that I am sharing with you...

Cindy just sent me permission to give you a sampler of one of her free gifts that is included on the Membership Site. I am so excited to give it to you! It is a audio and ebook set that she actually sells on her website, but she is giving away on the Membership Site. Here is the link:

The normal retail price is $11.97 for 3 cans, but now you can get 3 cans for only $7.18. Order here:http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/wild_fish.htm?s=e21110

60% OFF GOLD LABEL VIRGIN COCONUT OIL FOR HAIR TREATMENT ENDS SUNDAY. Our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment is specially made for hair application. It has a slightly higher amount of protein than our other coconut oils, due to the presence of coconut solids. This Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is a truly unrefined coconut oil. This coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw and surrounding areas from organic coconuts. Coconuts are used fresh (within 24-48 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each harvest. The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world! Testing done in independent laboratories reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water. The oil is then filtered from the curds (coconut solids). No chemical or high-heat treatment is used, and this oil contains no trans fatty acids. We do NOT mass produce this oil. It is made by families who are coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in the Philippines for hundreds of years. Our coconut trees and family producers are certified organic according to strict USDA standards. The families who produce the oil are also trained according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and re-certified each year. This high-grade Virgin Coconut Oil has a long shelf life due to the high antioxidant properties. The Gold Label standard is our highest standard for Virgin Coconut Oil.

Now, through Sunday, February 14th only, you can buy our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment at 60% OFF. The normal retail price is $25.00, but now is only $9.99!http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/virgin_coconut_oil_for_hair_treatment.htm?s=e21110

50% OFF ANTIOXIDANT OMEGA NATURAL GREENS ENDS SUNDAYWith 2600mg Organic Flax and organic flax lignans per serving, these greens are rich in ALA Omega 3. Our Organic Flax seed is RCM (Real Cold Milled) Flax™. It is no secret that standard milling or grinding of flax has produced a product that usually spoils rapidly. There are two main reasons conventionally milled flax spoils or oxidizes so rapidly. First of all, the conventional milling process creates temperatures that are too high. Several processors use the words "cold milled" to describe product but studied closely, their product almost always heats up during the milling or grinding process. Second of all, the conventional processing actually liberates or expels oil that coats the ground particles creating a substantial increase in the surface area of the milled flax. The high temperatures and oil coated particles alone or in combination produce a product that turns rancid or oxidizes in a relatively short period of time. RCM Flax™ is truly a cold milled product and process. The flax enters the RCM process at room temperature, is milled at room temperature and it exits at room temperature. Furthermore, this proprietary milling method does not grind, crush or liberate oil like other processes, making Antioxidant Natural Greens very unique. Tests have shown that RCM Flax™ maintains a very high peroxide value and a very long shelf life for up to two years!

Flax Lignans are phytonutrients found in the flax seed hull which include SDG (Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside). Antioxidant Natural Greens contain only pure, mechanically separated organic flax lignans.

Now, through Sunday, February 14th only, you can order this product at 50% OFF the retail price! This sale includes both Berry flavors with and without licorice, and both Mint flavors with or without licorice. That's $22.00 per container, with a retail value of $44.00! Order here:http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/antioxidant_omega3_natural_greens.htm?s=e21110

50% OFF THE WHOLE SOY STORY BOOK ENDS SUNDAYThe book that tells the truth about soy that scientists know, that you need to know, and that the soy industry has tried to suppress. Hundreds of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, immune system breakdown, and even heart disease and cancer. Infants on soy formula, vegetarians who favor soy as their main source of protein and adults self-medicating with soy to prevent cancer, heart disease or relieve menopausal symptoms are especially at risk. The Whole Soy Story presents and interprets the often contradictory evidence on soy and disease to determine what studies are valid, which justify hope, which are mere hype - and why.

Now, through Sunday, February 14th only, you can purchase a copy of this book at 60% OFF the retail price. That is a $29.95 value for only $14.98! Order here:http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/whole_soy_story.htm?s=e21110

NEW SALE: 55% OFF EXPELLER-PRESSED COCONUT OIL GALLONSTropical Traditions Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil, non-certified, is made from high quality coconuts in the Philippines. This is the "common" type oil that millions of people in Asia consume on a daily basis. It is less expensive than our certified organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil because it does not include the cost of organic certification. We get our Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil, non-certified, from unpolluted areas of the Philippines where pesticides and fertilizers for coconut palms are virtually unknown. The coconuts typically come from very rural areas in the Philippines, far away from major urban centers. It is also deodorized and processed the "old" way with "physical refining" that DOES NOT use solvent extracts. This is the most economical high-quality coconut oil we sell. Expeller Pressed Coconut oil is less expensive than Virgin Coconut Oil because it is machine made, and because it goes through a steam deodorizing process the taste is very bland, unlike Virgin Coconut Oil which retains the odor and taste of fresh coconuts. Some people prefer a bland, tasteless oil.

Now, through Thursday, February 18th only, you can buy 2 gallons of Tropical Traditions non-certified Expeller-pressed coconut oil at 55% OFF the retail price! That is a $120.00 value for only $55.00! Order here:http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/expeller-pressed_coconut_oil.htm?s=e21110

I don't have an iPad, iPhone, or an iPod Touch, so I wanted to pass this on to my readers. This is a new prodcut test panel that is opening up. Here is the information:

We're pleased to announce iPadBeta.com, a new unique user community being offered by Centercode.

iPadBeta.com (http://www.ipadbeta.com/ ) is a free service that connects iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch Developers with great Testers for their Apps, offering the tools and help they need to easily to run a great beta test; creating Apps with less bugs, better reviews, and higher sales.

Much like OnlineBeta.com, App users are given the opportunity to try new iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad Apps before anyone else. They can provide their feedback and bugs while participating in discussion forums and wikis with other Testers.

App Developers are each given their own private projects which include bug and feature tracking, custom surveys, discussion forums, custom wikis, build distribution, tester participation monitoring, reporting, and much more. iPadBeta.com will also recruit App Testers matching the Developers market; or they can invite their own friends and customers.

Developers will also have access to market research materials on the App market, as well as the ability to request custom research. These services are all offered at no cost, with no ads.

iPadBeta.com is currently accepting both App Testers and Developers. Signing up is free and requires only a few minutes to complete your profile.
