YSL Volume Effect Mascara

If you are a member of Influenster then you know the excitement of seeing one of it's boxes sitting at your doorstep. I already knew what was waiting inside but knowing it made it that much better.

I have never had the pleasure of trying YSL before but believe me, I have eyed it up on many occasions. I'm becoming somewhat of a Francophile and so this mascara was high on my list of things to try. So is it weird that the first thing I do when I open a tube of mascara is give it a good whiff? I have opened some where the chemical smell burns my nose, and it also can tell you if the product is old and rancid. YSL's mascara smelled like a beautiful bottle of French perfume. The brush is thick and fluffy, the exact type that I love. I have long lashes already so what I look for in a mascara is building up volume without clumping. YSL's mascara left no clumps and my lashes did not stick together. Perfect! Here are a few pics of me wearing it below. Please don't mind my dumb expression, I am not a huge fan of selfies honestly. I think I may have found my 'holy grail' mascara in YSL. And I look forward to trying other products.

Coppertone Clearly Sheer

This month I was lucky enough to be chosen to try a bevy of products by Coppertone from BzzAgent. I was given these products complimentary for review purposes.

I have reviewed a few products through BzzAgent, but I have never received a box so stuffed with product! This was so exciting to dive into.

Wow! Look at all that stuff! BzzAgent really wanted me to get the buzz out. I had a deluxe size for myself, and several others to give to a select few cool people.

Also included was a tear pad of coupons! Most of these went to close friends and co workers. I love a nice high value coupon and so does everyone I know!

The first product I tried was the Coppertone Continuous Spray w/ an SPF 50. I loved that this spray was so easy to apply. It felt cooling on my skin, left no residue, and applied evenly. It was effective and lasting the entire day! My only slight complaint was the scent was a bit strong. It smelled a bit like baby powder and bug spray. Not my favorite. I am cool to wear this while swimming, but prob not going out around a lot of people.

I received several mini Clearly Sheer for Sunny Days SPF 30 lotions and one deluxe size! This product is amazing!! You must try it. It smells like coconut, Hawaii, and beaches. You know, a vacation in a bottle. It is like wearing body lotion with benefits. It did not leave a residue and absorbed immediately and smoothly. I experienced no break outs or sensitivity, and I did not get a sun burn! Even after an entire day on the boat. Wonderful!

This was clinically tested on acne prone skin and proved to be A-OK. And I can attest for that. I break out easily, but this was great! It says you can use this under make up as a great primer also. I was not that brave, and I also have a primer that has an SPF in it, but I am sure this would have been fine.

I would highly recommend trying Coppertone Clearly Sheer as a great sun screen and moisturizer for summer. Everyone that I let try this product loved it!
