REVIEW: NEUTROGENA LONG WEAR EYE SHADOW + BUILT-IN PRIMER

Thanks to Crowdtap + Neutrogena, I was given the opportunity to try the new Neutrogena Long Wear Eye Shadow + Built-In Primer complimentary for testing purposes! I was so thrilled when I received this product in the mail because I immediately fell in love with the colors in this palette!



I wondered how long the eye shadow would stay considering it has primer built into the shadow.  I was not disappointed! In my experience, the eye shadow definitely does not wear off easy and lasts a while.  This is great because it gives results that would normally take two steps to acquire: (1) applying primer and (2) applying eye shadow.



I also love that the back of the palette gives you directions on where to apply each color.  I personally like to wear the colors separately and one at a time, but I love that all the colors compliment each other and can be worn together for a smoky look.



I also really liked the amount of shimmer these eye shadows had. I am a sucker for shimmer and this product did not disappoint! Overall, I really enjoyed trying this eye shadow and am glad I now have this mini palette in my collection!

REVIEW: BROOKSIDE DARK CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY CLUSTERS


When I was invited to be a part of the Crowdtap Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters campaign, I was so excited! I had been wanting to try these candies for a while and never did get around to it. Thank you Crowdtap for giving me a great reason to bite the bullet and give these a try! These Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters are made with "Berry Medley Flavors".  I was unsure of what to expect before trying these, but I did not expect it to be as much of a berry flavor as it actually has! I was pleasantly surprised at how much berry flavor comes through.  The flavor does not taste artificial! I love the texture of the cluster that is largely due to the crisps.  Overall, Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters are absolutely delicious and a great snack for when you are craving sweets!
