We Want to Hear from You!

October 16th, 2008 shammara No comments

The last couple days we reached out to BabyCheapSkate, a popular mom blogger and long time Buzzillions user, to hold a giveaway on behalf of Buzzillions. We decided to give away two $25 cash prizes to two random people who write a comment on how they would use Buzzillions, what they think of it, what could be improved, and so forth. Reading all the comments has been really exciting for us, and it’s great how much time people spent exploring the site and telling us how they’ll use it for their new baby, or holiday shopping, etc.

You can see the contest here, and you can even comment for a chance to win because it doesn’t end until Monday!

Our second giveaway is being held on SisterlySavings and that contest is still running too :) .

We love giveaways!

The New Neutrogena Wave: A lot of Hype but Little to Show

October 7th, 2008 shammara 2 comments

Like myself there are a lot of women (and men) try out new skin care products that make bold claims of reducing acne, preventing dryness, eliminating wrinkles, and so on. The Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser for instance has been widely advertised for a few months now, and it really did seem appealing with its creative design and supposed power to revolutionize your skin cleansing routine.

This time I held some patience and waited a few months to see what early adopters would actually end up saying. I’m really not surprised that a lot of people went online and swooped it up (it’s pretty cheap at $14.99), but the 72 reviews so far share a pretty bleak story.

Along with straight out disappointed buyers saying they want their money back, others elaborated on how the product doesn’t foam like it claims, and many even said it caused breakouts rather than diminished them! Don’t you just hate when a skin product causes acne when the one that’s the one thing you’re desperately trying to get rid of.

Disappointing to say the least, but I’m just going to stick to the basics and use the tried and true products highly reviewed on Buzzillions that never let down.

ShopSmart Names 7 Sites That Can Save You Thousands

September 24th, 2008 shammara No comments

It feels like every day now we’re hearing about another bank going under or getting acquired, mass job losses, and the Fed spending our hard earned money to “save” the financial markets. While we don’t have much control over these economic disasters, ShopSmartMag.org published 7 sites that can help individuals spend wisely and take control of their own personal finances. 

ShopSmart magazine, a product of Consumer Union who also publishes ConsumerReports.org, named Buzzillions as the top User Reviews site, as it can “help you to find the best products and avoid the worst.”

Among other sites, ShopSmarter also listed Ebates.com for rebates, RetailMeNot.com for  coupon codes that actually work, Freeshipping.org for free-shipping coupons, amongst several others that you can read about here

If you’re a ShopSmart magazine subscriber, watch out for the article in their November 2008 issue.

Mom Bloggers review Buzzillions

September 3rd, 2008 shammara 1 comment

Recently we’ve had two widely regarded mom bloggers review their experience using Buzzillions. MomAdvice who writes helpful money saving tips, wrote a very flattering review about how she uses Buzzillions and how it helped her find the right GPS system. 

MomReviews also writes reviews on a wide range of products she uses, which is especially why she found Buzzillions to be unique for having reviews written by real people. She highlighted all the features we love seeing catch on with people, like the affinity recommendation wizard, review snapshot, and of course the discovery of highly reviewed products you never would have known about otherwise. You can read her review on us here
