Kitchen Finds on Friday; Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix.

((Disclaimer: Not getting paid to write review/nobody asked me to write review/ just wanted to share my opinion.))


You all hear about the tornados in mississippi? Lucky enough I live in the north-east, so they don't naturally happen here. Good luck to all of you and stay safe. Though I'm not sure its an option.. anyways. I figured every Friday I'd do "Kitchen Finds" because food is my favorite thing and its probably the easiest thing to review. So, today I decided to do Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix.


Bam; there it is. So, when you get your first package of this stuff, it comes with a bottle, somewhat relevant to this drawing;



I was going to show you all mine, but! its in the dishwasher. :[ awwwwmayunn. Its really easy to make, you just fill to the V line with vinegar, the W line (that are on the actual bottle) with water, and pour in the seasoning package, shake, pop off the lid again, add oil, shake again.Wah-Lah, Italian dressing.


Thought I'd show the packet picture. Now for taste. It has to be, by far, the best non-restaurant quality dressing I've ever tasted. Even better than restaurant quality in most cases. Its really flavorful and delicious. delisiouc? delischous? the first one was right, I suppose. I eat this on just about everything containing lettuce.


Short thing today, I'm fairly busy with actual life for once.


Until next time,

BzzKit Box - Covergirl Natureluxe Collection.

((Lets start with the disclaimer: Note that these products were sent to me by BzzAgent.com (I am, indeed one) for consideration of  review, I am not paid to write this, and everything that I say is my full and honest opinion.))
Hi everyone. This is my first review, so bear with me! To start out, I received my BzzKit in the mail today, and I was ssssuuuper excited. After all, it is my first BzzKit. It excites me to be able to share an honest product review to consumers and that I get to test it out, as well. If you don't know, a BzzKit is a package that comes in the mail with the products, along with other items as well. They just thought of a nifty name for it. Lets hop in:
1. I had every intention of taking a picture of the newly opened box, BUT I got all beside myself and tore it open. :]

2. Everything that was sent to me:





                 A. The Covergirl Natureluxe foundation in Flax [number: 310]
                 B. The Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm in Muscat [number: 240]
                          (Better look at the color, I think. I'm a camera newb:)
                                    



                 C. A guide that explains the good things/benefits I get from using the product:
                                      Which I will list now: 
         1.3 out of 4 professional make up artists would recommend this line of products.
         2. Foundation has a touch of cucumber water and jojoba/rosehip extracts.
         3. Foundation provides a flawless coverage and silky, lightweight feel.
                                    -8 out of 10 professionals agree with this fact. 
         4. Balm contains a blend of mango, shea and other natural butters.
                                    - 9 out of 10 professionals agree.
         5. Balm is sheer color with non-sticky, lightweight feel.
       
                    

                 D. Coupons to hand out if I do indeed enjoy this product.
                              



3. FIRST THOUGHTS.  -- Upon the arrival of my package, and opening it, I really do love the packaging of the products. I think the Gloss Balm tube is very cute, and the tube of foundation is also extremely cute. The only downside I have is that the tube of foundation is in a "squeeze" tube, and I myself am not one for squeeze tubes (I prefer pumps). That's also just my personal preference, obviously.

4. Applying/Results...  --
                      A. Before/After:
Before


After


Lip color


So as you can see, hopefully, it had fairly good results. I enjoyed applying the products because they both had a wonderful smell (the foundation was kind-of a cucumber like smell, and the gloss balm was cherryish) and they were both easy to apply. The foundation went on smooth and didn't take long to set, and the gloss balm had a smooth and even application. I liked how I could change the intensity of both, by applying more or less. I basically have no complaints. Sure the foundation was slightly lighter than my natural skin tone, but that could be fixed by applying bronzer. Anyways, I am 100 percent satisfied. I will definately be telling my friends/family about this line of products. I encourage you to try them, too.




WELL, I hope my first review wasn't boring/all over the place. Hopefully my skills will improve.
