Neutrogena products review
I have been using the Neutrogena revitalizing lip balm for a few weeks now. Of all the ones sent to be by BzzAgent, I like the Sunny Berry (30) the best. The color is a nice tint and not shimmery. It really moisturizes my lips, and there is a faint watermelon smell that I adore. The only questionable thing about the product is the shape - why did they make it oval? At first sight, the BF thought it was a USB flash drive. =_=
I have also been using the Neutrogena nourishing eyeliner and it is one of the better eyeliners I've used. It glides on very well but does not glide off like some of the more slippery liners. I can't say that it is completely smudge-proof, but no liners are on me. It does a good job lasting all day.
The concealer is my least favorite product from this BzzKit. It's okay, but nothing to write home about, and at the steep cost, I wouldn't rebuy it. There are better ones out there. It isn't very pigmented nor is it brightening.
Stay tuned for swatches!

Sleek by 3 Blush Palettes
I just got word that my international friend found the Sleek by 3 blush palettes and is getting them for me! I am so excited... sleek blushes from my previous experience (I have Pomegranate and Life's a Peach) are really nice, super pigmented and blendable. I love them! Can't wait...

Neutrogena Cosmetics
I just got my Bzzkit from Neutrogena!! I am so excited - I'm already a fan of their stuff, so I'm super excited to try out the tinted lip balm and brightening skin perfector. Stay tuned for a review!
(one of the lip balms is missing - that's because it's already in my bag!)

Buzz about Dr. Scholl's High Heel insoles
So I am definitely late to the BzzAgent game... I signed up a few months ago and have joined only a handful of campaigns. My very first BzzCampaign was the Dr. Scholl's High Heel insoles - I still have a whole bunch of high value coupons for these!
I personally have yet to find a great use for these, but that does not mean they're not good insoles! When I put them in pumps I found that they made my feet slip out of the pump even more easily than normal. I don't have strappy sandals that these will fit into. So I currently have them in a pair of mary jane pumps (the strap around the middle keeps my foot in the shoe) but I have yet to wear those anywhere, since they are on the upper limit of the height of heels I can handle (~4" without platform, eek!).
Anyway, so my preliminary review is, because the surface of the insole is slippery and not the gel surface, these insoles will only work in select shoes and not in all shoes. I really wish Dr. Scholl's would go back to their old insole texture - I have a pair that I bought in Asia (Watson's in Taiwan) about 4-5 years ago that I absolutely love - they're only for the balls of your feet, but they had that wonderful non-slip grippy texture that works well in women's high heels (though I suppose they may get to be annoying on a hot sweaty day).
