aliannie2000 says "Most cost effective, and easiest on my daughter's tummy." about Carnation Good Start Supreme DHA & ARA

I tried the big name formulas that cost about half again as much as the Carnation Good Start, after I had to stop breastfeeding my daughter. (She was 7 months old at the time.) I dealt with her crying, refusing to drink the formulas, and then suffering through awful gas and belly aches when she did! Finally, we tried Carnation on the advice of a good friend - Thank Goodness!

I could tell the difference when I mixed it up - it smelled more like breastmilk, and looked more like breastmilk! My daughter accepted it more easily, and didn't have the gas pains that she'd had with the other brands.

Easier on our budget, and easier on my little girl's tummy - what a value!

aliannie2000 says "LG Rumor was great...until it got rained on..." about LG - Rumor Cell Phone

I've had my LG Rumor for almost 2 years. I've loved it most of that time. I'm a huge fan of the slide-open QWERTY keyboard, and use the text messaging frequently. I also like the menu layout and overall user-friendly setup of the phone in general.

Unfortunately, I was carrying my phone in my pocket during a rainstorm while I walked my 1 block commute from home to school, and it got a bit damp. Not soaked, mind you, just damp.
It has never worked properly from this time on - no speaker phone function, no ringer. I'm stuck with a phone that only vibrates as a call alert.

I would have liked to see a bit more durability from a brand that I trusted.

aliannie2000 says "Extra Emollient Night Cream - great for non-facial moisturizing!" about Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream

I got Mary Kay's Extra Emollient Night Cream as part of a set, and I have honestly never used it as a facial cream. It's far too thick and greasy for my skin to use it that way.

Some great uses that I have discovered, though: Hand cream! This stuff works wonders for dry skin in the winter! It's great to apply before bed - I wake up with soft hands in the morning every time. It's also wonderful for chapped lips as a night-time treatment!

The best thing about this product is that it is so concentrated and can be used in so many ways. I don't think I'd be caught without it now!

aliannie2000 says "Pureology shampoo/conditioners are the best made!" about Pureology Hydrate System Duo

Amazing! Pureology is worth every penny!!

I was turned on to this brand by my stylist, and true to his word, these are the best on the market! I have hair that is relatively short, and don't need to use more than a dime-sized dollop to get tons of wonderful lather!

The shampoo has a lovely ginger-y scent, and the conditioner is mint scented - what a wonderful wake-up in the morning!

Best of all, it leaves my hair silky-smooth, shiny, and healthy! My highlights and lowlights lasted much longer than before, and my hair is in better condition than before I colored!...
