Cheetos Mighty Zingers Sharp Cheddar & Salsa PIcante

Posted by Tina on
Sorry for the lack of reviews, but I am back and plan on reviewing a lot more for you.                                       


                                                 


Cheetos Mighty Zingers in Sharp Cheddar & Salsa Picante is a new Cheetos product.  The first thing I noticed was the packaging. The bag is metallic silver and orange and very eye catching.  In the corner there is a notch that says "Tear Here".  Well, me being stubborn and wanting to eat my snack the way I always do, I opened the bag at the top, the way I normally do.  I have to say, that was a mistake.


When I opened the bag, I noticed two different colored Cheeto snacks. A orange and red colored and they were also smaller Cheeto pieces. Not the regular longer pieces that I am use to.  Hence the "Tear Here" on the bag.


Now, I personally do not like the smaller pieces.  I found it hard to get more than two or three pieces into my hand without having to dump them out.  And with the wonderful classic "Cheeto stained fingers", that I was trying to avoid I did not want them all over my hands.  


                                                     


I did enjoy the flavor.  And the classic "Cheeto crunch" was present in these snacks. The orange were sharp cheddar and had a great flavor that I did enjoy. They surprisingly tasted like sharp cheddar and had that great bite that I enjoy in the cheese.  The red were salsa picante and although I did not think they tasted like salsa or picante sauce, I did like that they had a nice spice to them. I little bit of a kick, but not hot at all.  The flavors combined were fantastic.  Having the sharpness of the cheddar and the kick of the picante really complimented each other and made this snack a pleasant addition to the Cheetos family.  


Overall, I liked the Cheetos Mighty Zingers Sharp Cheddar & Salsa Picante snacks.  I was pleased by the flavor and crunch of the snacks. I didn't like the size of the pieces. I thought they were too small to handle if eating out the bag.  If poured into a bowl, they may have been more manageable.

Bare Escentuals Big Tease Mascara

Posted by Tina on ,
Bare Escentuals Big Tease Mascara is by far the best mascara that I have ever used.  Now, I admit, up until recently, I have never been really big on make up. I never wore it very much, and I thought all mascara was the same. It was just something that you put on to make your lashes stand out. 




That is just not true. All mascaras are different. Before trying Bare Escentuals Big Tease, I was using Maybelline Lash Stilleto, which by the way, I love.  I decided to use the Big Tease, because it came in a make up kit that I had purchased. 

The first time I used it, I immediately fell in love. The wand is quite different. It looks like a toothbrush on one side and the other is short. My lashes were super long and seperated. The "brush" side pretty much brushed my lashes and seperated them.  There are no clumping at all and no flaking at any point of the day. I put on two coats both on my lower and upper lashes.  




The one thing that I was completely amazed about is that after applying, my lashes were soft to the touch, as if I didn't have any mascara on at all. I loved that.  The mascara stays on through out the day with no flaking. It comes off easily with eye make up remover or soap and warm water. It even stays on through tears. Yes, I have cried wearing this mascara. 







The price of the Bare Escentuals Big Tease Mascara is double the price of drugstore brands. It is $15, but worth every penny. It does everything that I am looking for in a mascara. It lengthens and seperates, so I am very happy with it.

Why Reviews?

Posted by Tina on
I decided to start reviewing products for the simple reason that I want to inform people on how certain products or companies stack up. I always get asked how well things worked or is this good or is it worth it. 

I like to try out new things. I tend to get bored easily and being able to try new products is fun for me. So you want to know what I will be reviewing.  I thought long about this one and I decided that I was going to review all different products and companies. Anything from food, make up, household items, movies, TV shows, restaurants and maybe even stores. I will review samples that I get in the mail and new products that I am interested in.  I may even match them up against another product.

I decided that the sky's the limit. I am just going to have fun with this. Why not, right? I hope you enjoy the reviews.
