L’Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream #MagicBBCream @LOrealParisUSA @SheSpeaksUp

February 21, 2013 By Anne

I’ve heard a lot about these new BB creams in the magazines and have been wanting to try them. When She Speaks offered to let me try L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream, I jumped at the chance!

The first time I tried it I was surprised to see the color was kind of grayish white.

But it’s like magic! It’s very thin and fine like a moisturizer but supplied coverage like a concealer. I was plenty pleased and have been using it ever since! It’s super easy to apply and a little goes a long way. It feels like I’m not wearing any make up!!

The only draw-back is there is no SPF Protection. I always put a facial sun screen on anyways, but to have one built in would make this perfect!!

This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits. With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization.

L’Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide. Click here to find out more.

Here are my before and after pictures:

I received a complimentary product from SheSpeaks/L’Oréal to facilitate this review.

Quadra-Fire Stoves are Eco-Friendly

February 19, 2013 By Anne

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of QuadraFire for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Our old home had a wonderful fireplace. While we did not use that often it was a wonderful fireplace and it was great to use on those cold Florida nights. When we were building our new home we opted to not go with a fireplace. But now that winter is here there are times when it would be nice to build a fire.

Have you seen the QuadraFire Pellet Stoves? Quadra-Fire’s stoves and inserts are the quietest, easiest to operate and most durable products on the market. These stoves look great and we could easily add one if we decided to in the future. Quadra-Fire® is built on a strong legacy and they create products with proven performance, durability and control in mind. Quadra-Fire Pellet Stoves are a popular heating alternative and have many benefits to your home? Using a pellet stove costs 44% less than oil, 47% less than electric, and 53% less than propane heat. Plus it’s very eco-friendly! Biomass fuels are composed of renewable, carbon-neutral products.

If you do decide to get a biomass-burning stove, you could qualify for a tax credit. The federal tax credit on 75 percent efficient biomass heating appliances, which expired on Dec. 31, 2011, was reinstated on Jan. 2, 2013. The extender provides a 10 percent tax credit of up to $300 on a qualifying biomass heating appliance purchased between Jan. 1, 2012 and De. 31, 2013!

The Quadra-Fire Company starting in 1985 revealed their patented Quadra-Burn system as an eco-conscious replacement for traditional wood-burning stoves. These are perfect heating your home and I love that they are eco-friendly.
