The Hottest Looks Are Easily Achieved With Cover Girl's Blast Collection

I completely love the smoky eye look, but have never tried it, I didn't think I would be able to achieve the look on my own and have it turn out well. So, needless to say, I was very excited, and a little nervous, to to hear I would be receiving the Cover Girl SmokyShadowBlast, in Purple Plum from BzzAgent.com, to try.

Yes. I would finally be able to get the ever so popular, sensational and quite intense, smoky eye with Cover Girl's SmokyShadowBlast, which thanks to professional make-up artist Pat McGrath, comes in six expertly paired, colorful shades (SilverSky, BronzeFire, CitrusFlair, OnyxSmoke, and PurplePlum), all with uniquely shaped tips, to help you achieve that desired look in just two easy to do steps:

Step 1) Using the round tip of your ShadowBlast stick, smoothly  sweep the lighter shade from your lash line to the brow brow bone, and if you want to, just below the bottom lash line as well.

Step 2) Now, using the tapered tip of the your ShadowBlast stick, apply the darker shade on your lash line and in the crease of your upper lid.

It's really that quick (and painless lol), all that's left to do is finish off with a really great volume or lengthening mascara, like LashBlastLength or LashBlastVolume.

I did the above steps just as directed. It was very easy to achieve the smoky eye and it looked amazing, even if I do say so myself, at first then it was gone just as easy and just as quickly! It also took a little for me to get use to because I had never used a cream eye shadow before, so it had a much heavier feel to it than I had ever experienced before. I liked the applicator a lot, at least until it flew out of the stick! I had never adjusted it either, I used it just the way it came. I found that I had to go over each eyelid several times, the color  was a little too light, and creased badly, for a dramatic, night time,  smoky eye. Since I was having some problems, I tried using a bit of foundation, dusted with translucent face powder, on my eye lids before I wore the shadow the next time, which helped the color turn out darker and last a lot longer then with out it.

In addition to receiving the SmokyShadowBlast, I also received  another product from the that same collection, ShineBlast Lip Gloss in Fire (there are 15 other vibrant colors in addition to this one). This new lip product is a sculpting gloss and also has a new, wonderful, innovative, make-up artist inspired, applicator called the ShineSculpt with 4 times the shine of other products.

Professional make-up artist Molly Stern offered these tips for both day and nighttime looks when using the new ShineBlast Lip Gloss:

For a daytime look, apply the gloss to the top lip and then kiss the bottom lip for a wearable high shine.

For a nighttime look and a super sexy pout, dab an extra amount of gloss on the center of your bottom lip for a high shine focal point.

When I first saw the lip gloss, I was pretty alarmed at the color, it was very orange in the tube, nothing at all like what I had pictured in my head when I thought of "Fire" for a lip color! I really loved the new applicator. I applies precisely the right amount of gloss, that was never sticky, with just a hint of color (it was not orange at all when applied), has a beautiful, shimmery, light-reflecting, shine that you will love!


You can find both products everywhere Cover Girl is sold, such as grocery and drug stores, mass retailers, and online.  The suggested retail price for the Smoky ShadowBlast is $7.99, and the suggested retail price for the ShineBlast Lip Gloss is $7.49.

May 2 thru May 8, 2010 at Rite Aid BOGO FREE Covergirl!!

The ad scan for Rite Aid week of 5/2 – 5/8, shows Covergirl Cosmetics are BOGO Free! It’s difficult to read the fine print, but it looks like there’s also some type of single check rebate. Something about a free coupon booklet?? I have bad eyesight, so if anyone else can figure it out…please let us know! 

The last time Rite Aid had this sale, we scored so much FREE makeup. Remember, it states right in the Rite Aid Corporate Coupon Policy that you can pair a BOGO Free Coupon with a BOGO Free Sale, essentially getting 2 products for FREE! I LOVE Rite Aid! I would suggest printing a copy of that policy and taking it with you in the event you get a cashier who didn’t “get the memo”.

If you do your math, you can also use your $5/20 or $5/$25 coupons (assuming new ones are released) and get another $5 item for FREE!

There was a BOGO Free CoverGirl Face Makeup coupon in the 4/11 RP…hang onto those!

Hopefully, there will be a new “any cosmetics purchase” Wellness coupon available for that week to stack with the manufacturer coupons. The current one expires on May 1st. Boo! I will let you know tomorrow when the new Wellness coupons are updated. Fingers crossed!

One more thing I’d like to add to this discussion: The BOGO Free coupon states that it is for CoverGirl “face” products. Obviously ALL makeup is for your face, right? So, in my opinion what they are getting at here is that the coupon is valid for products like foundation, concealer, powder and blush. What do you think?

Who Uses Coupons The Most, Or Least, And Why?

I love, and couldn't survive without, my coupons! In fact, my wonderful mother in law, Trina, calls me the "coupon queen", and I can't let her down and not live up to the name! :) But I never really gave any thought to who used them and why, or why not. Well, walletpop.com has given it thought. I received this interesting article today and thought I'd share it with everyone.

Who uses coupons? You might think that the most cash-strapped among us would use them most, but studies have shown that upper-income whites make far greater use of them than members of minorities of all income levels. A recent study published in the Journal of Retailing provides some interesting answers as to why the most needy are not the most frequent users.

One surprising finding of the study conducted by Anne M. Brumbaugh of the College of Charleston and and Jose Antonio Rosa of the University of Wyoming was the degree to which the attitude of the checkout clerk can determine our willingness to use coupons.
A clerk's conscious or subconscious negative cues (deep sighs, rolled eyes, terse movements) are enough to discourage all but the most confident from using coupons. On the other hand, a clerk who implies that the customer is shrewd and admirably frugal can inspire the customer to use coupons more often. (Here I have to admit that in the past I've been one of those discouraging factors, frowning and tapping my foot when the person ahead of me in the checkout line pulls out a wad of unsorted coupons.)

I recently took a $1 off of New York Style Bagel Crisps coupon to my local grocer to get a read on the clerk's reaction. My checkout person took and scanned it without giving off any cues one way or the other about how he felt about my using coupons. Was the study wrong? Of course, I'm a white middle-class boomer male, the least likely group to receive a scowl because we're most likely to be a golfing buddy of the store manager. Also, one coupon is not as burdensome as a fistful of them, especially if the customer has to dig them out of his/her coupon wallet while other customers wait in line.


The study also investigated the reason behind previous study findings that even more affluent members of racial minorities don't often use coupons. They cited a study that found "the consistently higher levels of poor service experienced by high socioeconomic status black and high acculturation Latino consumers reduced coupon use by both decreasing their confidence and increasing their embarrassment over coupon use." More affluent white stay-at-home moms and dads, on the other hand, "have incorporated the judicious use of coupons into the image of what stay-at-home spouses should do."

The key finding? Well-to-do white shoppers are confident enough in their affluence that they are not threatened by the attitude of clerks. Those who struggle to keep their financial footing, on the other hand, are very sensitive to the criticism they often receive at the checkout counter, and therefore unwilling to use the coupons they see as symbols of their financial plight.

Coupons are a time-tested strategy for building business, but this study suggests that a store that prints coupons but does not train its staff to treat users as valued, admired customers is shooting itself in the foot. The next time a clerk looks down his/her nose at you when you pull out a coupon, recognize them for the fool they are, and keep on clipping. Don't let the disregard of a clerk cheat you out of the savings.

Have you ever been given, or given someone, the evil eye for using coupons? If so, please share your story. I would love to hear it or your thoughts about this subject. You can leave me a post on the Guest Book on the bottom right! Take care!
