New Neutrogena Makeup

            



Ok normally I love neutrogena cosmetics.  I used to wear exclusively Neutrogena.  I was super excited to try, for free, their new Crease Proof Eyeshadow, Healthy Lengths Mascara and the new Color stick for lips that I got from being a BzzAgent.

The Good:

Loved the new Healthy Lengths mascara.  When I first opened it, I could smell the difference.  Not only did it make my lashes look a mile longer, but it smelled....good.  It smelled as though it contained vitamins, really nourishing.  It didn't clump like other mascaras on the market and came off easily.  I feel this mascara is a great product and comparable in price with others out there.

Moisturesmooth Color Stick:
I actually was pleasantly surprised with this product.  I feel the price is excellent when considering the lesser quality products on the market today. 
I really liked how it didn't give me that "lip cheese" or clump up after a while of wearing it.  I normally have really sensitive lips and break out easily when wearing most lip products, but this was really great.  It didn't cause a breakout and looked awesome.  It was smooth and lasted throughout dinner.  Great product in my opinion.

The Not-so-good:
I love makeup and love eyeshadow and when I read that Neutrogena had come out with a crease proof eyeshadow, I was super excited to try.  When I put a light shade on, I was impressed with how smooth it went on, but when I tried to layer it with another color, it wasn't good.  It started to flake even though it didn't crease.  It wasn't able to layer or create a smokey eye on top of another Neutrogena Crease Proof eyeshadow. 
I think used alone, this is a good product, but who only uses one color eyeshadow anymore?

My opinion of this product is it's really not worth the price when there are cheaper and better products available.

Overall I still love Neutrogena Products and found a couple of new ones that I will keep using, and I'm glad that I got to try the new eyeshadow, but unfortunately I probably won't buy it.

I simply love Morning Star products.  I have been counting calories for what seems like a century.  So when I got the opportunity to try this healthy option line of food, I was like, um....yeah!

My absolute favorite is the Spicy Black Bean burger.  It seriously does not taste like health food, who know like cardboard.  These burgers cook super fast, so if you're a mom like me and have to cook EVERYONE else's food first, these are great.  Cook it up before the rest of the family has gotten through creating their own hamburger bun masterpiece, add some cheese to it and viola! You're eating with the rest of the family.

I've also tried some of their other burgers, like the chicken patty and the veggie burger.  The chicken patty is really delish!  If you add some cheese and shredded lettuce and close your eyes, you might even think you were getting a chicken sandwich at a fast food joint.

Overall, my review of Morning Star is a HUGE two thumbs up!!

This is a guilt free, healthy option that will definitely be on my shopping lists for a long time.
