Relax & Exfoliate w/B&B Works Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub.

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla collection of products is one of my favorite collections of all time and the Sugar Scrub is no exception! It's actually one of my favorite products in the Lavender Vanilla collection.

I'm a true believer in aromatherapy. I'm an anxious type of person who's always worried about something. I like lavender products a lot because they calm me and relax me and help me to sleep better...but some products with a lavender scent are a little stronger than I prefer. Adding the vanilla made this product smell very close to perfect, in my opinion!

So, scrubbing my body with Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub makes me relax...but it doesn't stop t...

Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste Didn't Deliver For Me!

Overall

Rated 2 out of 5

I normally use toothpastes for people with sensitive teeth, because I have super sensitive teeth, but a couple of months ago I decided to try a tube of Colgate Total Whitening Paste Toothpaste because my teeth didn't seem to be as white and bright as they normally are.

I have to say that I was not very impressed with the whitening ability of this toothpaste. Honestly, after brushing twice or three times a day with Colgate Total Whitening Paste Toothpaste, and using the entire tube, I couldn't tell that my teeth were any whiter or brighter than before I used it. I was disappointed that this toothpaste didn't deliver for me what it advertised it would...at least in the stain removal ...

Desensitize Teeth & Remove Stains W/Sensodyne Pronamel!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

I have sensitive teeth--they are sensitive to both cold and hot foods and drinks, and even to cold air. Sometimes if I take a bite of a cold pickle spear or sip a cup of very hot coffee, it hurts my teeth so badly that I literally cringe in pain. Well, I should say that used to be the case because it isn't nearly as severe as it was before I began using Sensodyne Pronamel Anti-Cavity Fluoride Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth.

I have tried many toothpastes for sensitive teeth and I can honestly tell you that none of the other brands have worked as well as this one for me. With regular use, it actually "re-hardens" and strengthens" the enamel on my teeth, which of course, in turn, makes my...

Chloraseptic Sore Throat Lozenges Work Quickly & Effectively!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

I seem to have a sore throat more often than not, especially during the winter months. I also take medications that cause my mouth and throat to become dry and irritated, so I keep lots of throat sprays, throat lozenges, and cough drops around to soothe my dry, irritated throat.

I really like cherry flavored Chloraseptic Sore Throat Lozenges because they begin to work very quickly and they don't taste anything at all like the Chloraseptic Sore Throat Spray, which works well, too, but in my opinion, tastes nasty. I choose these drops over the spray all the time!

The numbing effect of these drops becomes more noticeable and helpful when you get to their liquid center. The center of the d...

L'Oreal Naturale Mineral Foundation Is Light & Covers Superbly

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

L'Oreal Bare Naturale Powdered Mineral Foundation SPF 19 is a light, airy, non clogging mineral makeup that I use very often. I use "Nude Beige" during the winter months, when I don't have a tan at all, and I use "Sun Beige" during the summer months, when I do have some color from the sun on my face.

I like this mineral powder foundation VERY much! It covers flaws, uneven skin tone, and other imperfections without the feel of a heavy cream or thick compact foundation.

I use it more often during the spring and summer because you can't even tell that I'm wearing any type of foundation, but it makes my face look smooth and healthy. It doesn't sink into fine lines and wrinkles as other ty...

L'Oreal True Match Compact Gives Perfect Color & A Smooth Finish

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

I was shopping for foundation at Walgreen's recently, and ended up buying several brands of foundation and some other makeup items,as well. (I love Walgreen's "buy one get one half off deals!")

One of the items I purchased that day was L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Compact Makeup. and I really like it a lot.

I had to go to a memorial service, during the afternoon, and I wanted more cover than a mineral makeup but I didn't want to look too "made up", either. This foundation provided the exact amount of cover and the exact color I was looking for.

This is a compact, moist foundation, that comes with a thin sponge on the reverse side of the makeup and a small mirror on the sponge ap...

Pampered Chef's Smooth-Edge Can Opener Is Wonderful!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

My family and I were staying with my sister in law recently because my mother in law passed away. There was plenty of food all over the place, but my very picky 13 year old son didn't want to eat any of the leftovers again, so he asked if he could just have a can of Chef Boy R Dee Mini Raviolis for lunch. It didn't make any difference to me, so I went into the kitchen with him to warm up the Mini Raviolis.

I dug around in the kitchen drawers until I found a can opener, and it happened to be a Pampered Chef Smooth-Edge Can Opener. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use this hand held can opener, but I was very impressed with it once I did figure it out and used it to open the ...

Dusting is so much easier & faster with Swiffer 360 Dusters.

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

I used to be a huge fan of Swiffer Dusters, and I still like them a lot, but not very long ago I decided to try the "new and improved" Swiffer 360 Dusters and I do like the newer dusters better than the original.

I bought my first Swiffer 360 Dusters in a kit and the wand is extendable and the dusters seem much fuller, which makes dusting a lot easier for me. I can reach the tops of some of the pictures on my walls and some of my ceiling fans with the 360 Dusters when that wasn't possible without a step stool when I was using the original Swiffer Dusters.

These dusters seem to hold more dust, too, which is convenient. I like the "ergonomic handle" better, too. It's not a huge differenc...

Give your hair a lift with Schwarzkopf's miracle Dust It Powder!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

Where do I start when it comes to this magical powder? Well, I guess the first thing I should say is that I have very fine hair. It's long, too, so if I'm not very careful, and don't use the right hair products, my hair becomes weighed down and my roots look as if they are stuck to my scalp. It gets very frustrating...or I should say it got very frustrating before my hair stylist showed me what Schwarzkopf Osis + Dust It Matifying Powder Hair Styling Serum can do for my fine, long hair.

She put a small amount of this powder in her hands and rubbed it into the roots of my hair, and "poof"...I had volume like I haven't had since I used to get my hair permed, which was about 20 years ago! ...

Restore your mature, damaged hair w/this wonderful conditioner!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

Schwarzkopf Bonacure Satin Spray Time Restore Q10 Conditioner is a wonderful restorative leave in conditioner that you spray in your hair and don't rinse it out.

I was introduced to this wonderful conditioner by my hair stylist who highlights my hair about every 3 months. She is also aware that I love to be in the sun, so my hair tends to be dry from those sun's rays, and she knows I use heat to blow dry and to style my hair. She is doing her best to keep my hair healthy despite the way I abuse it, so when she used Schwarzkopf Bonacure Satin Spray Time Restore Q10 Conditioner on her own hair and was very impressed with it, she could hardly wait to recommend it to me.

I'm SO glad s...

Time Restore Conditioner gives volume, softness & shine!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

Due to the way that I abuse my hair, I have to use really good shampoos and conditioners to keep it healthy and hydrated.

I love the sunshine, and I go to the beach or river as often as possible, so the sun's rays dry my hair out. I also blow dry my hair, use a Chi flat iron to straighten it, or use hot rollers or curling iron to style it. My hair is also chemically highlighted about once every three months. All of those things add up to potentially damaging my already dry hair beyond repair. I can't let that happen so I often use hair care products that my stylist recommends for me. One of those products that she insisted I buy and use is **Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Time Restore Q10 Conditi...

Give Your Hair A Breezy, Beachy Look Without Leaving Your House!

Overall

Rated 5 out of 5

evo Salty Dog Cocktail Beach Spray was a wonderful concept and I must give big kudos to evo for creating it because I have fallen in love with it!

I normally wear my long hair very straight with the help of my Chi Flat Iron and some smoothing serum, but it gets boring wearing my hair the same all the time, so when I want to change it up a bit, and I'm going somewhere casual like a bon fire or a cookout, I spray some evo Salty Dog Cocktail Beach Spray in my hair and I get that "I've been at the beach all day" look. I'm a beach bum and so is my husband, so both of us very much like the wind blown, natural, 'beachy' look that this product provides for my hair. It makes my hair look...

It's Sugar Free & Makes Me Cough Free! Works Great For Me!

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

Robafen DM Clear Sugar Free Syrup (Cherry Flavor) works very well in relieving stubborn coughs and aggravating chest congestion, too. The fact that it's sugar free just makes it all the better because I try to limit my own sugar intake as well as the intake of sugar of my husband and my four sons.

I just happened to run across this cough syrup because it was sitting beside the bottles of Robitussin DM Clear, and sure enough, the ingredients are the same, but the Robafen DM Clear Sugar Free Syrup costs much less. I have used both of these cough syrups, and they seem to work equally as well. I'm sold!

The cherry flavored syrup doesn't taste terrific but what cough/congestion syrup do...

Hydrates dry hair and makes it look sleek and healthy.

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

I read a lot of wonderful things about the new product line that Suave had created so when I got several coupons for Suave's Professionals hair care products, I decided to stock up on them and give them a try. I'm very glad I did because I have found that it's hard to beat many of the products in the Professionals line, such as Suave Professionals Sleek Conditioner.

I have dry hair from many hours spent in the sun and from chemically highlighting my hair, as well as from using heated styling tools to dry and straighten my hair. Dry hair doesn't look shiny or pretty, it looks dull and unhealthy. It also tends to get the frizzies when it's humid or when I don't use a good conditioner to m...

An above average shampoo for dry hair. It smooths and hydrates.

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

If you have dry or damaged hair, that needs to have moisture added to it so that it will look and feel more smooth, shiny, and sleek, and look more healthy, but you don't want to pay the high price for a salon brand, I recommend Suave Professionals Sleek Shampoo.

I like being in the sun as much and as often as possible...but my hair doesn't like it. I also like blowing dry my hair and using my very hot Chi to straighten my hair...but my hair doesn't really like those things either. They all make my hair dry and dull looking. Of course that won't do, so I am always trying hair products that will add moisture to my hair and help keep it hydrated, healthy, sleek, and smooth. That's what th...
