Covergirl & Olay Bzz

So, I am a BzzAgent, which means companies send me products to test and get the word out about.

Right now, I am testing the new Covergirl & Olay Tone Rehab Foundation and Pressed Powder.  I used it for the first time tomorrow and will let you know more about how I feel about it in the coming week.

Initial feelings.....the foundation feels great going on.  It has that typical Covergirl scent to it.  Now, they sent me Buff Beige color, which I think may be one shade too light, but it's enough to get away with for now.  It has great coverage.  At 44 years old, I am starting to prefer a more full-coverage foundation, but they say just to lightly dab it on if you are wanting lighter coverage.  I have a lot of sun damage on my face, and the foundation was great at smoothing that out and says it will help lighten over time, so I am excited to see what happens.

Covergirl states the following about their Tone Rehab 2 in 1 Foundation:
  • One pump instantly covers discolorations, lines and wrinkles while one bottle hydrates to help improve skin tone over time
  • Clinically shown to help reduce the appearance of discolorations over time by hydrating the skin
  • Available at all major retailers, with a suggested retail price of $13.99
  • Online at covergirl.com — visit the site to get shade matched, discover tips and looks, and learn more

The Pressed Powder was nice too.  I don't wear powder that much during the summertime...preferring to use a bronzer, but I did use it under my eyes and in my T-zone.  It has a silky feel on my skin and took out the shine.

I will let you know more as my testing progresses.  So far, so good.  :)

Hmmm...now maybe it's time to start back?

Started wishing I could say more than what I do on my Facebook page.  I keep all politics, religion opinions off there, but still have opinions none the less, so thinking about going back to blogging.

Well, here's what has happened to me personally since my last post back at the first of 2009.  The "mystery job" I spoke about was me going back to work for Metro Traffic doing traffic in Memphis again.  I started back in June of 2009.  The weekend I moved from Chattanooga to Kennesaw, my Dad passed away, so everything was bittersweet.

Metro Traffic was bought out by Total Traffic (Clear Channel) in 2011, and so far, I've been lucky enough to make it through all the "blood lettings"...so far.  We will be moving into new offices in September.

Chris and I are still together.....it will be 4 years September 5th.  We've had our ups and downs...another guy with infidelity.  You'd think I'd learn by now.  He left his job at Pugs Eyewear in 2011 and has been umpiring girls fastpitch softball full time since.  He's pursuing a dream no other woman in his life has allowed him to do.  If there's one thing I know, it's how doing/using the gift's God gave you is the best feeling in the world.

At this point, I'm trying to be optimistic about my future.  The radio business has changed so much....all the fun is completely gone.  One thing statistics continue to show, is that radio listeners still want their weather and traffic info, so I still have that going for me.  I LOVE Atlanta, and hope to stay here for the foreseeable future.

More opinions on life and the world soon.
