This is a really neat program where I am sent products to try for free, and then to share my opinion about the products. I have done two campaigns. One was for LipPerfection lipsticks, made with silk and very healing. It was a great way to start a pretty spring look. The next campaign I received was for NatureLuxe make up and lip balm. All of these products are CoverGirl Products. I have really loved the NatureLuxe foundation. It is also made with silk and has cucumber water in it to add moisture. It goes on silky, looks terrific, and lasts all day. It has improved the condition of my skin while I have used it, and I believe it is because of all the botanical ingredients that are used instead of chemicals. It does not even sweat off in the gym! I have had allergies to other foundations that made my eyes water, but that does not happen with NatureLuxe. Have you ever heard of bzzagent? Are you a bzzagent. I know of a few others here on the Lot.

Sounds fun! Sign me up! 
I might try that new foundation. I need a new one and I love Covergirl products. I thought I had a coupon for that new foundation you mentioned somewhere.

This is not a program for referrals, but check out bzzagent.com to sign up. There are a number of those coupons available. I know Walgreens had a great special on the foundation and Wal Mart has had a great price as well. If you sign up to be a bzzagent, you will want to sign up for MyPoints, too, as you get mypoints for some of your activity. That is also a place you might find and print a coupon. I signed up two years ago, but did not ever do anything with bzzagent until this year. I got inspired by other members on Gather doing their campaigns.

I let mine sit for two years after I joined. It is kind of neat. I get a lot of coupons to use or share with friends as well, and that is nice. You do not have to be invited now to join.

I've heard of it but it sounds like a lot of work promoting a product. And most people I've heard about it from seem to be trying makeup and lotions, neither of which I use. It sounds pretty labor intensive to me and with my writing I just don't have the time.

I am not sure the scope of what they offer, I just did questions about foot pain, we will see what that is about. I have seen educational stuff offered and some other stuff, I have not felt it was too much to do. The tweets are written for you. However, it is not for everyone, and that is also okay. I turned in the link for this discussion as part of my bzz and received MyPoints for doing so.

I have started an account there. Just now so no campaigns or anything yet. My live and interests are not very broad so hope I get some kits regardless. It sounds interesting and may be fun to try out new products. I do enjoy such things. I was a member of another one somewhat like it but it changes and didn't care for old fogies with no kids any longer. Oh well!

I used to not get any offers, but I am beginning to. I just did a survey on foot and back pain, so we will see what comes of it.

I joined a long time ago and never did anything with it. I guess I should get back to it. Sounds like you had some neat products there to test. Good for you GG.
I too have some problems with my skin and my eyes nearly always water when I use some products. You have been so good with it, I might buy that product.

I was so pleased after trying a sample. I like all the natural ingredients. I find that as I get older I just am more sensitive.

I dont think it has to do with age but the fact that the ingredients now are more and more against nature per say. So of course our skins react to it. The list of dangerous ingredients added to products keeps getting longer and longer now. I used to be allergic to a certain type of red dye used in so many products. I once bought a whole line of products for a total of $1200. Turned out that they ALL had this red dye in them. Lucky me it was a reputable company and they reimbursed me. Now I always ask the cosmetician BEFORE if they will take it back before I buy anything. But I'll try the one you mention and see if it works for me.

There seems to be a bunch of surveys, in addition to our profiles, and it may be that is how you get more invites. I had two more invites in the last two weeks. Their profile survey is really long.

As tight as the economy is, it is a really great way to try new products and have some influence on what companies offer.

I joined years ago, but I guess I didn't like it because I didn't do much on the site. I don't remember ever getting involved in a campaign.
There was another site I belonged to where I frequently got free products to test.. but now I don't remember the name of the site. I know it did a lot of surveys, and occasionally I'd recieve the product. One time it was candles, another time it was cereal bars.
I truly dislike taking surveys, so that's probably why I stopped using those sites. I really have to be in the right mood to take a survey, and it doesn't happen often.

They have changed it around a lot this spring and discontinued Frog Pond, which was the survey site. So far, other than my profile, what they ask is usually three or four questions to see if I would be a good match. I do not like surveys usually and they do not like me either.

Bzz agent seems to have a lot of other things to try. I was wearing a tinted moisturizer that looked good, but it made my eyes burn to have it on. I have started having some breakouts, and the NatureLuxe seems to calm my skin down a lot.

I signed up ±3 years ago. I don't think I stayed active enough to get in on any campaigns. That was about the time that I had to opt out of life for a while to have the hip surgeries. Haven't thought about getting back into the bzz agent thing. Glad you're enjoying it.

sounds great. so is it other things also or just skin care and makeup? sounds a bit like pinecone which used to be quite good to me but they stopped sending me products to try
they do still give me 3 bucks about twice a month for doing surveys but havent sent a product for months.

Based on what I am seeing, it can be several types of things. You may be a member if you have been in MyPoints for a long while. I hope you have fun. I sent you a pm with a link.

I have never heard of it before.Out of curiosity,I looked up bzzagent at Internet.It is a social marketing company that provides word of mouth marketing services in the form of network.I have never set foot in this kind of sites.I am indecisive and always afraid of making a fool of myself.

I had a hard time wanting to do it,when I did not understand it. Now that I do it is fun. Some of my other friends say it is not open internationally, though, and that makes me sad.

Haven't heard of that company but I live on a golf course and some company found out about it and sent me a full set of clubs to try out if I filled out a questionnaire about them... full set of clubs for some questions... heck yeah!
Thanks

The balm does have some color, but it is no where as dark as it looks in the tube. I got the coral, and it is just a hint of color.

Wow, that is strange..I went to sign up and it said my username and e-mail address was already taken. I used the username here and I can tell you, this is not a common user name..Then when I signed in, the password was also the same and on my profile it says I have been a member since todays date.. I am confused, I can see signing up months or years ago and forgetting about it, but I know I didn't sign up this morning and forgot. If so, I need serious HELP!!!

That is just too funny. I have no idea how it happened, maybe it was meant to be? Maybe they are secretly connected to MyLot? Have fun with this.

Maybe they are secretly connected to MyLot? Maybe...But I spent a lot of time filling out this survey about myself, is that all I have to do to get something to try? I really didn't have time to read much except a little on how it works..I am going to try to improve my midterm score and then off to English, and see what I can do there..:P2 people like this

Hi GG 
I saw someone mention something in a response but was not detailed, hmm you are so informative here and now I have to go check. Too bad they do not do referrals but I certainly will take a look.
I took want silky looking foundation and Covergirl is one of my favorites. lol

Cool. You know that I am a bzzagent. I have been a bzzagent for about three years and have worked on several campaigns. I have received several golden keys. Currently, I am working on about four or five campaigns and having trouble keeping up with them all. Your posting is well done. I am curious as to how many bzzagents are also mylotters.

We may find out. I had signed up a long time ago, but never did anything with it. I am a member at Gather, another sharing site and lots of people there are also bzzagents, and they finally got me to get going. I love the new products I have gotten to try. I actually bought the NatureLuxe with a coupon after getting a sample. It was funny, I bought the same lipcolor, so at Easter I gave my lip balm to my sister, she loved it.

I think that we have communicated about this before. I believe that this is how we first met. I am also a bzzagent and I think that I have been one for about 3 1/2 years. I have done maybe seven or so campaigns. I did the NatureLuxe Campaign and just finished The TRESemme Revitalizing Shampoo & Conditioner campaign. I have won about three gold keys and have used them all. Today, I was sent a survey about coffee. I love coffee and I am hoping that maybe the survey was sent as a feeler for a coffee campaign. Bzzagent is great -- a really cool site. Did you know that they recently were bought by another company -- I think a bigger company. There is or was reference to this on their web site.

Also, here is another site that you might want to check out. It is called mysurvey. I have been with them a couple of years or longer. And have been able to cash out maybe three or four times. They have been around a while. It is a trusted and legit site. And I love their surveys. You even get points when you attempt a survey and do not qualify. I usually am not accepted for surveys because I work in market research and because of my demos. But mysurvey sends me a few surveys every week and I usually qualify for one or two.
