Burt's Bees Sensitive: My latest BzzAgent Campaign

I've had sensitive skin since I was a kid.  Red, blotchy, dry skin.  There have been lots of products that I have missed out on trying because my skin is just that sensitive. A lot of my family and friends also suffer from sensitive skin, so I was super excited when BzzAgent emailed me about their latest campaign.

Burt's Bees has an awesome new line of skin care products for people just like me! Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin.

What is Sensitive Skin?

A formal definition for the condition has yet to be created, but most dermatologists characterize sensitive skin as skin that experiences:

• Redness


• Irritation


• Stinging


• Dryness


• Itching


• Blotchiness


• Breakouts easily


• Rashes

What Causes Sensitive Skin?

Environmental Factors:

• Weather – extreme heat or cold


• Sun and UV exposure


• Wind


• Pollution

Genetics:

• Sensitive skin can be hereditary for some

You can’t control your genes, but you can care for your sensitive skin naturally. Our new Sensitive Skin Products are 99% natural and are proven to moisturize and cleanse without causing redness or irritation.

Skin Irritants:

• Products can contain irritating ingredients like:


• 
  
  
  
  • Soap
  
  
  • Exfoliants
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Alcohol
  
  
  • Salicylic acid
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Fragrance
  
  
  
  


• Sunburn


• Dermabrasion


• Frequent contact with water can cause inflammation of the skin


• Allergies to ingredients in cosmetics and skin care products

Stress:

• Skin can become more sensitive and more reactive when stressed


• Stress triggers the body to release hormones and chemicals that can cause the skin to become irritated

Almost every case of sensitive skin has one symptom in common: Inflammation. That’s why Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Care line is crafted with natural ingredients that help soothe and soften your sensitive skin.

Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin products contain Rice Extracts, Aloe, Eyebright and White Genepi, all products that support and heal sensitive skin. They are 99% Natural, and area great choice for those of us with sensitive skin. They are: Fragrance-free, Hypo-allergenic, Dermatologist-tested, and Allergy-tested.

I am giving away samples and coupons  of Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Daily Moisturizing Cream to readers.  The first 5 readers to leave a comment will receive a sample of the cream and a coupon for $1.00 off as well as a 20 coupon pot luck. I will contact you for your mailing address.

I am a member of Bzzagent, a great WOM (word of mouth) website that helps spread the word on tons of great products.  I received these products for free. The opinions of these products are all mine. I recommend that you check Bzzagent out!

Giveaway- $10.00 Dakota Beef Coupon

A few months ago Dakota Beef was offering a coupon for $10.00 off any Dakota Beef product (exp 12/31/11).  I was lucky enough to snag one!

When they had posted the offer, Whole Foods sold the product. Once the coupon arrived, I discovered that Whole Foods no longer carries these products.

Dakota Beef is sold at :

• Bill The Butcher


• Balducci's


• DeMoulas


• Central Market


• Food Emporium


• H-E-B


• King Soopers
  


• Kings Supermarkets


• Shaws

Since I can't use it, I'm giving the coupon away!

For your shot at this really high value coupon, as well as some other great coupons (that's right, I'm making it a potluck!), simply leave a comment telling my what you'd make with the Dakota Beef.  I'll choose a winner next Friday (9/30/11).

What's your Shopping DNA? Find out with Itemize!

Last night BzzAgent sent me to the You-Phoria party (as part of the BlogHer '11 conference) where I learned all about Itemize, a great new online shopping service- a digital shopping assistant!

How it works:

When you join Itemize, it auto-imports your receipts right from your email to your Itemize account. Itemize analyzes your purchases, and shows your Shopping DNA. Your Shopping DNA shows you how and what you spend your money on in 13 categories.

After your Shopping DNA is mapped and you select 3 or more categories of items that interest you, Itemize finds sales and deals from thousands of sites that match your unique tastes!

Check it out!  I learned that I buy a lot of babies stuff (what a surprise, I have a 4 1/2 month old!), and Itemize showed me some really great promos and sales going on! I can't wait to take advantage of some of the sales and promo codes that Itemize offers!

Now, more about the party! The cocktails were great (the Kiwi fruit, vodka and lemon juice was to die for!), the swag bags were awesome!  Here are just a few of the sponsors and what they provided!
