Cover Girl Smoky Eyes Review


I’m back and with a new review and giveaway for my readers!
I had the chance to try Cover Girl makeup recently — from the Cover Girl Smoky Eye line. We can thank Drew Barrymore for the smoky eye inspiration. When I first opened the box of Cover Girl goodies, I was more than a little excited there were three “Smoky Eyes” kits — bold, glamorous, and natural (my first choice). So the Smoky Eye line is: CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast, LineExact Liquid Liner, and LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara.
Step 1: CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast: I really liked the roll-on eyeshadow (double-ended). Super quick and easy, I would actually purchase this product.

Step 2: LineExact Liquid Line. I tried it and its great if you like liner but I have always been terrified of liners. Something about sticking a pencil or brush that close to my eye just screams danger coming! My eyes tear up and it smears before I even finish applying it. (FYI it’s not just liner, I can’t even have contacts or use eye drops.)

Step 3: LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara. I love how light weight this product was and it really made my eyes stand out!

I've returned!!


Well we are all moved. The cross country move went as well as expected. Peyton screamed for 500miles at the end. The 15 hour trip took 24 hours and he didnt sleep at all!
We ended up selling our living room funiture becasue we couldnt fit it on the truck. So I sit here in my bare living room waiting for the new funiture to be devlivered in the next 6 to 8 weeks.



The house is actually pretty great. We have a pool and a fantastic yard for the kids. Besides needing new paint (sorry to the previous owner but I'm not digging the pink living and dining rooms or the 'hulk' green bedroom) the house is in great shape.
We have unpacked about 1/2 way and there is still alot to do. We got our internet, phone and Tv setup today so look forward to my usual post and tons of reviews/giveaways.

Sorry

A Message To My Contributors and Followers
I realize I haven’t posted any reviews for awhile, and I don’t want you feel like I took your free product and ran with it. I want to assure you all that this is far from the truth. The reason I haven’t been posting reviews is we are moving in less than a month and all of my products are either packed or being sent to my mother-in-law’s house, which is the area we will be moving to. Add to that the amount of stuff we have to pack, it’s increasingly difficult to find time to review products right now. Rest assured, however, that once we are set up and settled in our new home, Family Treasures will be posting a ton of reviews of every product I have. I thank all of my contributors for their patience and understanding during this time. And I thank my follower for faithfully following my ramblings. I couldn’t do what I do without you.
