Sarahcp says "Great moisturizing lipstick" about L'Oreal Liptstick

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:08:52 GMT

I have very sensitive lips that tend to be very dry. After trying many brands, I have determined that LOreal is the only brand I will use on my lips. It's not irritating or drying to my lips and actually moisturizes them quiet well. I have found that some of the additives in other lip products actually irritate my lips and I don't have that problem with LOreal. I do wish the color would last a bit longer but it lasts an acceptable time.

I've been very pleased with the prices on the product. I would be willing to pay more if it would provide me with the look and comfort that I need but LOreal provides all of that with an easy to live with cost. Between watching for sales and coupons, which the company puts out quiet regularly, you can get a quality product for very little cost.

I also enjoy the large selection of colors and "finishes" that they offer. There is always one that will work for me. I do wish that they wouldn't change the colors and names as frequently as they do since it does...

Sarahcp says "Good bed but doesn't live up to hype" about Select Comfort Dual remote sleep number bed

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:59:37 GMT

We purchased our Select Comfort Dual remote sleep number bed 3 years ago just before I had back surgery. We have been pleased with the product but it has not been as wonderful as they claim it will be. I still find that I don't wake up totally comfortable and refreshed. May just be that we're getting older but we're younger than spokeswoman Lindsey Wagnor! We got the queen size, which is wonderful having the dual control since my husband and I have drastically different comfort points. We also got the "craftmatic" ability to raise the back and feet. We don't use that feature frequently (and the "massage" feature never) but it does come in handy. It's especially useful when you have congestion and need to lift your head a bit for a better sleep.

We have had a problem with the side foam edge on my husbands side bending and creating a slope to the outside of the bed. They replaced it for a prorated fee, though it looks like it is going to be a constant problem. Their service has been...

Sarahcp says "A must see for every couple!" about FIREPROOF

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:40:03 GMT

We missed seeing "Fireproof" when it was in the theaters so were anxious to view it when it came out on DVD. Many friends had told us how good it was. We were not aware of the impact this movie would have on us. My husband and I have a very good, solid marriage but it was so easy to see how small missteps could lead you into major mistakes. This movie is excellent for any couple to view and should probably be required of any couple contemplating marriage.

As I struggled to keep my tears from being too distracting in the last part of the movie, my macho husband turned to me with tears in his eyes. We just started passing the kleenex's. Never has a movie had this great effect on both of us. we've discussed it for months afterwards and have purchased the DVD so that we can view it again and to also share with others. There are so many great messages that it gives and certainly gets you thinking and reassessing your life and relationships. It's great and I would recommend it on that level...

Sarahcp says "Great Vacuum!" about Dyson DC14 Upright Vacuum

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:24:26 GMT

We have 2 cats and a dog as well as two people in the house with allergies. I was constantly looking for a vacuum that would remove the pet hair and dander as well as the normal dust and dirt. After having gone through several vacuum cleaners and not being satisfied with any of them, a dear friend gave me a Dyson dyson DC 14 upright vacuum. I love it! This vacuum not only picks up everything on the carpet but also easily transitions to my tile and hardwood floors. It's amazing how much it picks up!

The machine is lightweight enough to easily handle and it's so convenient having all of the attachments right on the vacuum. The ease of empting the collection is a real plus. I don't feel like I'm dumping all of the dust, dirt and pollen right back into the air. I love that there are not a lot of filters that have to constantly be cleaned and replaced. I know I'll have this vacuum for many years. I had considered purchasing this product before receiving it as a gift but hesitated due...

Sarahcp says "Love This Dryer!" about Samsung Steam Dryer DV448AEP

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:06:38 GMT

I absolutely love my Samsung Steam Dryer DV448AEP! I purchased it a few months ago along with the matching washer. Laundry day has never been shorter or easier! The tub holds a lot of clothes so that I can dry in fewer loads and it's very quiet. I've been very impressed with how wrinkle free all the items come out. The timing system adjusts to let you know when things are dry so that they're not "overbaked". It couldn't be easier.

We chose not to purchase the pedestal base and I've so glad we did. The door is no lower than your typical front load dryer and the opening is large enough for you to easily remove your items without "climbing in". I also use the tops of the machines for folding and stacking my clothes so I'm still able to do that without the pedestals underneath. I do recommend that you lay a towel or cloth over the top of the machine so that the surface doesn't get scratched. I placed a plastic bottle of laundry detergent on it and it scratched the top of the machine when...

Sarahcp says "I actually look forward to laundry day!" about Samsung - Vibration Reduction Technology Washer

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:50:15 GMT

When my washer died I had no idea where to look for it's replacement. I knew I wanted a dependable product that was energy efficient. After much searching we finally decided to purchase the Samsung VRT Steam WF448AAP. I LOVE IT!!! The first day that I used it I actually took my cup of coffee and sat in front of it to watch it "do it's thing". It's hard to believe that a product that so gently rolls the laundry through the water can clean everything so well. The cycle is a reasonable length and the clothes come out extremely water free. They actually just feel damp. And quiet! It's unbelievable. You don't even know the washer is in use!

I love the extremely large size of the tub too. I recently washed my thickly quilted queen size comforter with no problem at all. It's great to be able to reduce the number of loads that I have to do each week. The only negative I've encountered is that I'm having to adjust to not spot treating stains as heavily. It's a habit that is tough to break but...

Sarahcp says "Great addition to the Philly Cream Cheese Family!" about Kraft - Philadelphia Sundried Tomato and Basil Cream Cheese Spread

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:30:03 GMT

I recently decided to try Kraft's new Philadelphia Sundried Tomato and Basil Cream Cheese Spread. What a wonderful addition to the Kraft/Philly Cream Cheese family! The flavor is very robust and is a great balance between the tomatoes & basil. It's excellent on bagles but would not recommend using it with anything but a plain bagel due to the strong flavors in the spread. We used it on bagles and crackers and loved it spread onto celery sticks.

I know this is a product I will frequently use for both my family and also company. It's an excellent addition to my appetizer repetore and I'm anxious to try it in some of my receipes. I believe there are great possibilities there, maybe creaming it with chedder cheese as a hot dip.

It was very easy to locate the product at the store and the price was not too expensive. It was right around $2.00, which was well worth it for the versatility it has and the fact that it tastes like an expensive homemade spread. It certainly kicks up your simple...

Sarahcp says "Excellent way to easily clean windows quickly and completely." about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

Sarahcp — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 18:40:56 GMT

I've always said "I don't do windows!" because every time I would wash them I would be worn out and sore when I finished, only to see streaks once the sun hit the glass. Usually the windows would look worse than when I started. That description of me may have just changed though. With the Windex Outdoor All in One Glass Cleaning Tool you can quickly, easily and effectively clean your outside windows. No bending or stretching is necessary due to the sturdy pole with a rotating head that the cloth securely adheres to. I was able to completely clean 4 sets of paned french doors (it use to be a huge chore to get into the corners of each individual pane, but it was a breeze with this product), 3 sliding glass doors and one large picture window in less than 20 minutes. The results were amazing. No streaks or smudges! The only negative aspect would be the cost for the replacement pads. The penny pincher in me would like to see them priced a little bit lower but they're still worth it.......

Sarahcp says "AWFUL!" about Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Sarahcp — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:46:35 GMT

This film was horrible. I kept hoping it would get better but it only got worse. I saw no value in watching it. The concept had great potential but they got so caught up in sophmoric pranks that they lost the plot line. It's as if they filmed someone saying and doing the most disgusting, rude, idiotic things they could think of and then tried to hook them together with some excuse of a plot. Don't waste your time or money on this movie. You will definately come away from it with lost brain cells....

Sarahcp says "Awesome camera for the money" about Nikon - COOLPIX L2 Digital Camera

Sarahcp — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 12:34:22 GMT

The quality pictures we've taken with this camera is beyond our expectations. For such a low price you get video capability, zoom, nice size screen and good pixels.It is small and light weight easy to carry "just in case" you see something you want to photograph. We like the fact that it uses AA batteries. We don't have to wait for a battery pack to recharge or have to get to a location to charge it. We carry 2 extra batteries in the case and are always ready. As long as you don't leave the camera on for extended periods it doesn't eat up batteries. I highly recommend this camera....
