CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick Review

I recently had the opportunity to try 2 lipsticks from the CoverGirl Lip Perfection collection so of course I must share my thoughts with all you darlings! The shades I chose are Rush (270) and Temptation (285). Typically I am not a lipstick fan, I'm more of a lip gloss lover but these lippies won me over. Before you get into my full review I want to warn you that the deeper, more pigmented shades are more of a lipstain. Some of them may require a bit more effort to remove so if that doesn't float your boat, you may want to stick to the neutrals. Otherwise I suggest applying the lipstick in layers until you achieve the look you want without having the hassle of trying to wipe of excess color. With that said, here is my video review of the CoverGirl Lip Perfection lipsticks.

Try Educator.com Online Courses Free

I usually do not pay any attention to the multitude of websites boasting about their online learning services because they are often times mediocre tutorials that even my 12 year old nephew would yawn at. But being a BzzAgent provides many perks such as the opportunity to try many products and services. I recently signed up on Educator.com with limited expectations of what I would get out of the e-Learning service. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! Educator.com offers junior high to college level courses in Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science.

Though you have access to all courses, I opted to partake in the Computer Science area to brush up on my skills in web development. My inner geek couldn't resist seeing what the courses offered. Not only was it a refresher for what I already knew but I actually learned new skills and techniques. The courses offered in Computer Science are HTML, CSS, Java, JavaScript. PHP and Wordpress. Each course is broken up into lessons and you do not just read material, you get video instruction. You can start a course, logout and carry on with life, then login later and pick up right where you left off. Go at your own pace without the pressure of grading systems or time constraints.

I definitely think Educator.com is worth a look for teens and adults looking to refresh current knowledge, get additional help on a current curriculum or learn completely new information. The service is not free however you can try it free for 1 month using promo code BUZZFA626 or save 20% off any Educator.com product such as an annual subscription by using promo code SAVETWENTY314 at checkout. If you join please let me know how it works out for you, I really think you will enjoy the experience!
