Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Soups Review






I received this product free from Smiley360. I received the soup in the picture, but I went out and bought the other 6 flavors. What follows is my opinon on each.

1. Tuscan Style Chicken & White Bean Bisque- Really didn't like this one as I don't like white beans. It did have a lot of veggies, meat and beans.

2. Kickin' Crab & Sweet Corn Chowder- I like Corn Chowder and hate Crab, but this was good! I couldn't even tell I was eating Crab!

3. Tomato & Sweet Basil Bisque- This is basically a Tomato Soup with Basil. It was pretty flavorful and very rich with a few mini chunks of tomato. Reminded me of my Grandmother's Tomato Soup.

4. Braised Beef Stew- I have always loved Beef Stew and this was delicious. It had enough of meat and veggies to actually make this a real stew!

5. Portobello Mushroom & Madeira Bisque- Oh My God!  I am a mushroom lover! This was so good that I went out and purchased 4 more!

6. Southwest-Style Chicken Chili- This had the right amount of "kick" to it. I love spicy foods and this was not too spicy, but had a little bit of a "kick" to it. I just added some crackers to it as I always eat my Chili with crackers.

7. Roasted Chicken & Chardonnay Bisque- This was a pretty good soup also. I love chicken and there was enough in there to fill me up.

Actually, all the soups filled me up. I ate them for lunch. You CANNOT cook them in the container that they come in, which is not good, unless you keep or take a bowl and spoon with you to work. I work from home, so these were convenient for me!

Overall, these were delicious soups and I would/am going to get more!

L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

I sort of know what a BB cream is and have used a few, but was still leary of using them as I always had issues with them.

When I used this one, it was no different. Maybe I'm just not makeup inclined or what, but I have never known how to put on makeup. I gave it a shot and this is what I thought. It did cover all my imperfections, but it felt "heavy" on my face. I knew it was there and I prefer a makeup that I can't tell is on there.

It was easy to apply as the nozzle on the dispenser is very tiny and dispenses a little at a time if you don't squeeze to hard! You just dot it on and then blend in with your fingertips. It is white when you dispense it, but changes color after you rub it in.

The L'Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream has 4 beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all day, and corrects and evens skin. It gives sheer coverage needed to create a natural, bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits.

I am going to try to experiment a little bit more with it and I think it can be awesome, but like I said, I am not makeup inclined. I feel like a newbie sometimes, but I used to wear makeup all the time in high school (but that was a long, long time ago!)

It 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.
