Free Copy of Skyrim and Other Bethesda Games

Free Skyrim

Bethesda Softworks has an amazing program where retail workers at certain stores can receive free Steam codes for popular Bethesda games. If you work at Walmart, Target, Gamestop, or Best Buy, all you need to do is fill out this registration form and upload a copy of your paystub to prove you work there. You are allowed to black out personal information such as your social security number, salary, and pay rate, but your name must be visible and match the name given on the registration form. You will then be asked to fill out some surveys and watch some videos, but this shouldn’t take too long or be intrusive.  After completing the tasks, you can request free Steam codes from a list of available games.

As the title suggests, members of the Bethesda Insiders program are now eligible to receive a free copy of Skyrim. Brink and Rage are also available for free download.

You can read more information about the Bethesda Insiders program from the following forum links:

Review: Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser

Burt’s Bees recently launched a new product line called Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin. This product line, consisting of facial cleanser, daily moisturizer, eye cream, and night cream, was designed to be hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free, and extremely gentle on the skin. I recently received a sample of Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser, and put this product to the test. Did it live up to Burt’s Bees claims of being a gentle skin care solution?

Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser Product Features

  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Fragrance-free
  • No parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals
  • Dermatologist-tested and allergy-tested
  • 99% natural; made with cotton extract, rice extract, and aloe

Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser Product Review

Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial CleanserI suffer from extremely dry and sensitive skin during cold weather, so this product could not have come at a more perfect time for me to test them. I need a strong moisturizer during this time of year to protect my skin from drying out. The Sensitive Facial Cleanser did a formidable job of keeping my skin moisturized in this tough, cold weather.

The Sensitive Facial Cleanser is the most gentle facial cleansing product that I’ve ever used. It has a very faint odor, presumably from the materials used to make the product, but it’s not very noticeable or irritating. I definitely feel comfortable calling this product “fragrance-free.” The cleanser itself is just the right texture—not too thin, but not too thick. I could easily apply it to my face, and quickly work it into a good lather despite the notoriously hard water in my area. I didn’t need to scrub or work it into my skin to feel clean and moisturized. The cleanser was easy to wash off my face, and didn’t feel greasy.

What impressed me most about the Sensitive Facial Cleanser was how well it kept my face moisturized. I usually have dry and irritated skin after washing my face, complete with flaking dry skin and redness. Not this time. The Sensitive Facial Cleanser left my skin feeling smooth, very fresh, and well-moisturized. Even more impressive was that the product kept my face moisturized throughout the entire day. Despite my long walks in the cold and the dry heat keeping my home warm, my face didn’t dry out and start flaking. In fact, since I started using this product every day, I haven’t experienced dry skin on my face at all.

Conclusion

Overall, Burt’s Bees delivered on its promise to create a very gentle, but effective facial cleanser. People seeking a truly hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free skin care solution will be quite pleased with the Burt’s Bees Natural Skins Solutions for Sensitive Skin product line. The fact that this product consists mainly of natural ingredients is just icing on the cake.

The Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin product line can be purchased through their official website, or through retailers such as Walmart, Target, and drug stores.

I received a Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin sample kit through BzzAgent. The words and experiences in this review are my own. Please see my disclosure policy for further details.
