The First Evah, Brand New I Tried It Tuesday

Top o’ the Tuesday mornin’ to you.  And you.  And you two, yes, y’all — the ones wearing the matching yellow chintz sunhats!  Those are lovely, girls. 

Today’s the big day – the debut of Chic Critique’s I Tried It Tuesday.  We can’t wait to start seeing your links go up on Mr. Linky and read about the products you’ve tried out after we reviewed them here. 

I don’t know about Jo-Lynne and all of our illustrious guest posters, but I’ll tell you that when I review a product (so far I’ve only reviewed products I love because my husband is terribly afraid of being sued – he knows that on the occasions I find myself dissatisfied with a product, I can be downright CAUSTIC, y’all, and he doesn’t cherish the idea of the potential ensuing decade of litigational chaos), I get SO excited that one of y’all might actually test it out too.  Apparently I’m kind of an aggressive sharer, in that respect.  Even in real life, if I tell my mom or sister or a friend about a product or a recipe or book, for months thereafter I’m all DIDJA TRY IT YET?  WELL DIDJA?  WHADJA THINK?  C’MO-O-O-N – TRY IT ALREADY!  WHAT’S TAKIN’ YOU SO LONG?

Why yes, they DO all love and treasure this little quirk in my personality! 

Oh, I Tried It Tuesday’s right up my Desperately Needs Validation alley, people.

Now, to review the I Tried It Tuesday features and benefits:

We’ve written a million posts on a million different products, most of which we’ve said good things about.  You’ve tried out one or two of those products and you’re just ITCHING to tell us how right or wrong we were in our assessments of them.  You loved it, too?  It made you break out in a purple and green polka-dots?  Tell us!  You write up a blog post about the product we’ve reviewed on your own blog, you copy the URL from that post and bring it over here to Mr. Linky and paste it up with your name.  It’s that simple.

And then we all get to come to your place and read what YOU thought!  And our readers will read YOUR post!  And they’ll tell two friends about your brilliant insights.  And they’ll tell two friends, and they’ll tell two friends, and so on and so on and so on — and then pretty soon you’ll have 17 million readers and a book contract.   Just like that!  POOF!

So get to writing and linking, ladies.  Fame and fortune await!  Especially for you two in the sunhats — y’all are overflowing with STAR QUALITY.

  4. I tried it, but unlike Mikey, I didn’t like it. “It” being Sally Hansen Smile Brightening Lip Treatment. Oh, well …

  5. Joining the fun! Come check out the new Quattro razor for women. Lovin’ it. Oops just gave it away.
