Review of Maybeline 24-Hour 2 Step Color

As a Bzz Agent I was given the opportunity to try out the new Maybelline SuperStay 24™ 2-Step Lipcolor.

I have tried other lip colors that claimed to last all day, but none that made a 24 hour claim. I have tested it out a few times now, and have to say, I was impressed with how well it lasted! Admittedly, it did not last 24 hours for me, but I did not have to reapply during the day when I put is on early in the morning. In fact I put it on at 5 am the day I had my baby, and that lasted through the labor and beyond. In pictures taken 12-14 hours (and a childbirth) later, I still had lip color on. I thought it was pretty impressive! Look at this picture of me after my baby was born:

That is what it looked like with no reapplications after hours of labor and delivery! Pretty impressive, right?!

I wanted to also comment on the color selection. There are a lot of colors available and they are really nice vibrant colors. I have 4 different shades and liked them all, but was able to find an absolute favorite in the Forever Chestnut! Fabulous color and will replace my longstanding favorite I have been using!

Overall, I really like the product, though it did not last 24 hours on my lips. It DID last through a lot though!! There are 30 fantastic choices of colors to choose from-something for everyone! I was very happy with the product.

Great Mothers Day Deal: Snapily Amimated Cards review and DEAL



Well, I am always on the look out for super cute and high quality photo products, so I was really excited to get the chance to learn about and review these great Animated Printed gifts from Snapily.com. I knew of Snapily.com before this, but did not realize all the products they have: photo cards, notebooks, scrapbook pages, business cards, greeting cards, and bookmarks.

As I said I was able to get a free personalized card from Snapily.com to review. Just to let you know, it was super easy to make and order this card (which is the first thing I really liked about this product). In fact, I had my lap top at the hospital with me when I had my baby 2 weeks ago. The morning after he was born, I uploaded a couple pics of him with the family, and I made the card from the hospital that morning. It was seriously easy and quick to do.

The second thing I loved was that it arrived at my house in just a few days. It was really quick!

Initially I was not sure what an animated card would be, but it is one of those cards where you have 2 pictures that change back and forth depending on how you hold the card. It may not make sense for me to explain it, so check out this flash preview here:



Sweet, right?! So, I used the 2 following pictures:


The third thing that really impressed me about these cards was the quality. This is a thick, sturdy card that is not going to fall apart. It is really nice! It is such a nice thing to have that I selfishly decided to keep it for myself rather than give it to one of the grandmas...I might have to buy a couple more cards for them!

Luckily, there is a SWEET deals I can use to get their cards, and YOU can get the same deal!! Right now Snapily.com is offering great coupon's to get your mother (or loved ones) these great Animated or 3-D cards. They are full value coupons to Snapily.com for up to 50% off! Half price for great products like the Animated cards and the 3-D Cards! How fantastic is that for the upcoming Mother's Day?! Seriously! Stop by here to get your deal and then start making your own cards at Snapily.com!!
