L' Oreal Paris: Bare Naturale Gentle Mineral Eye Liner

Price: $5.00

The powder liner makes for a smoother application and the thin, angled brush allows you to create better lines. I love the fact that it goes on in one even stroke. With the pencils you have to do several, smaller strokes which pulls on your eyelids and makes them painful.

The downside to this product is the huge mess. Obviously this is to be expected because it is a powder.

Here are a few tips if you plan on using this eyeliner: Protect your clothing. Do not apply any other make up until aftewards. That is just incase of any spills. Otherwise you'll end up having to start all over. You'll need to have a cleanser on hand. Do not use water alone to fix the problem as this only causes the mess to smear.

The best acne fighter?

A review of three facial cleansers tested by me and my girls.

AcneFree: Oil-Free Acne Cleanser

Price: $6.00.

Big sis didn't like this one. She said it dried her face way too much.

Little sis seemed to have no problem with it.

I also found it too drying, but that is true of most of these types of products. Nothing a good moisturizer won't fix.

Gentle exfoliating? Not impressed. The purpose of exfoliating is to remove dead/dry skin cells. Imagine doing this with a marshmallow. Obviously it's not going to work.

Clean&Clear Daily Pore Cleanser

Price: $5.00. Big sis actually bought this one with her left over birthday money.

There wasn't much to complain about here. Exfoliation is just right.

Big sis said it left her skin feeling very smooth. Thumbs up for me although it was also a little drying like the first one, but not as bad. I'm guessing lttle sis also likes it since big sis kept asking me to hide it from her.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser.

Price:$5.00 This one didn't have any scrubbing beads, but it was our favorite of all three. The dryness was very minimal. Big sis told me she loved that "tingly feeling".

I didn't even notice it at first untill she told me to leave it on a few minutes before rinsing off. My face did break out a tiny bit after using this stuff,. I've always heard that this is normal when first using some facial cleaners, so I'll give it a chance.

What cleansers or acne fighting remedies would you recommend?

Online earning sites

In this blog I'm going to discuss the online earning sites that I'm currently using. None of the sites mentioned here will make you rich, but they are worth looking into if you're in need of a little extra money.
Neobux:

Neobux is a well established site. They are mostly PTC (paid to click), but you can also earn from completing offers, and doing mini tasks. Payments are sent though Paypal, Neteller and Payza. There are plenty of payment proofs in the forum http://www.neobux.com/forum/?/6/. Here is one of mine

If you're really in need of referrals and have no luck at all getting direct referrrals, you may rent some for a small fee. They last for about 30 days before you need to renew them. There are some pros and cons to both direct and rented referrals. Direct referrals are free, but you have no control if they become inactive. Rented refferals cost money, but they can also be recycled...but again,they cost money... Minimum cashouts are stepped starting from $2.00 to $10.00.

Cash Crate

Cash Crate pays their members to do offers, watch videos, complete surveys (they've got loads of surveys)tasks, and for shopping at any of the online stores listed their site. About offers: Any offer that requires a purchase is going to have a higher pay rate, but there are plenty that are simple and free to do. Some people earn a lot by doing the free trials, and then canceling them before the time is up, but that may not be a good idea. Some sites have a rule against this so make sure it's okay first. Cash Crate also has a points system. Points can be saved up and used for prizes or to play in game tournaments. Payments are made by check or through Dwolla. A Paypal option is only available to those who are Silver status and have recieved their first check. The minimum payout is $20.00. Payment proofs can be found here http://www.cashcrate.com/paymentWall and in the forum.

InboxDollars

Inbox dollars pays to read emails, play games, do surveys, complete offers, use their search feature, watch videos and redeem coupons. Their minimum payout is $30.00. Sorry Paypal lovers, but they only pay with checks. You automatically become a gold member after recieiving the first check. After that, requested payments will be sent out weekly instead of the usual schedule. Payment proofs can be found all over the web. Here are some http://forum-ptc-investigation.com/index.php?topic=498.0

Swagbucks

Swagbucks is pretty well known now that the news stations have even recommended them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcDS6NuJG-o. Its kind of like inbox dollars, but they offer a bit more variety in their earnings and reward system. Members can pick from Paypal money to one of many e-gift cards or donate their swagbucks to one of the charities featured on the site. You can also use your swagbucks to enter into sweepstakes for even bigger prizes. Some payment proofs can be found here http://forum-ptc-investigation.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=sio6bio857mnb2m1c2f00r8en1&topic=514.0
