Where to Earn Easy Money Online

    Every so often my opinions change on various money earning sites and, of course, I always find new and better ones. So here is my latest list at the beginning of 2013 of my current favorite places to earn money online.

     Opinion Outpost is a survey site. In exchange for taking surveys, you are given Opinion Points which you can use towards rewards. 1 Opinion Point is equivalent to 10 cents. Shorter surveys are generally worth 5 Opinion Points, while longer ones are usually worth anywhere from 10 to 30 Opinion Points, sometimes more. In my experience rewards immediately arrive. I only cash out with Amazon, and my code arrives in my email mere seconds after requesting it.
     Rewards Include: PayPal, Amazon, Restaurant.com, American Red Cross donation, or Alawar games. All rewards require a minimum amount of points before you can cash out.

     I only just came across this website and I'm already loving it. Tellwut is a survey site, however, I would consider it more of a "polling site". Users can join and take surveys or create their own to earn points. Surveys are usually 5 points for one question surveys, 10 points for multiple question surveys, and 25 points for business created surveys. Points quickly add up to rewards which, when redeemed, are shipped to your household address. You will probably earn over 1,000 points just on your first day when you catch up with all the surveys on the website. Check daily for new surveys.
     Rewards Include: Amazon (US and Canada), Walmart, Home Depot (US only), Best Buy (Canada Only), Cineplex, and Future Shop (Canada only).

     Swagbucks is a rewards site in which you gain "Swagbucks" through various activities such as: surveys, daily polls, games, watching videos, getting free codes from them, and by using their search engine on a daily basis which will allow you to randomly win swagbucks. You can then redeem these Swagbucks in their swagstore for gift cards or many other items.
      Rewards Include: Many gift cards at different value ranges and many various items.

     Jingit is a website that allows you to earn money by watching videos and commercials. The payout is decent and you can put it immediately on a debit card you can purchase from them. There are many times when the ads are lacking, but then again there are times when you can earn up to $15 a week.
     Rewards Include: Money, which you can transfer to a Jingit Debit card or you can use on musicme to purchase songs.

     Crowdtap is a website that allows you to earn points in exchange for rewards. You can earn points by answer polling questions that their partner companies have them post. You can also earn points by sharing various websites on social media and getting friends to check out those posts, by participating in actions, and by being a part of a sample share (where you get free products to test out and pass out to your friends/family).
     Rewards Include: Amazon, and other gift cards or money off offers.

COVERGIRL blastflipstick Review

It's two lipsticks in one, allowing you to mix and match or just leave be for a wide variety of color options. Each flipstick contains two expertly matched shades; one is creamy while the other is a shimmery color. COVERGIRL has made a total of 13 of these matched shades, but your possibilities are seemingly endless. (Okay... so maybe it's a hundred or so, but endless sounds so much better.)

As a BzzAgent I received the pleasure of receiving three of these flipsticks for free. I received:

Stunner
Vixen

And Minx

Each flipstick is estimated to sell for around $8.49 in store (not bad for two colors) and can be found in major retailers (such as Walmart), most grocery stores and drug stores.

My thoughts:
First off, I did tend to use chapstick before applying because for me at least, the color starts to crack along with my lips after awhile. I always have terribly dry and chapped lips during the winter so maybe this is just entirely on me.
The colors ARE long lasting. It's okay for all day wear, but you may need to reapply when it fades a bit. If you're just wearing it for a night out, however, you should be good. 
I personally felt as thought only a few of the colors could I wear alone. Most of the time I ended up blending or highlighting because it just left me feeling like it was lacking some "pizzazz". The golden like end of Stunner was one of the main ones I was okay with wearing by itself, but not as a daytime color.
I feel as though the main way you'll end up pleased with the results is if you manage to find colors that work well for you. I, for example, can't really work a blended Vixen and I haven't even touched Minx yet because I know it's way too dark for me.
