christinab says "Great for working out and on the run, not for music fanatics" about Apple - iPod Shuffle Second Gen. Silver (1 GB) MP3 Player

I pre-ordered this as soon as I saw it, I love it! It is not for those who always want all their music with them, or for those who want to rearrange their music along the way. This is definitely something where you go to your computer, set it up how you want it, then take it to go. If this is a problem for you, it may work better as a second Ipod.

The clip is great, always secure. This is by far the best device for workling out. No gadgets needed, no bouncing in pockets, just clip and go!

christinab says "A great cream, not just for mature skin" about Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Replenishing Cream

I am in my late 20's and I use this cream. I first got it as part of one of Philosophy's value kits and thought it would be good to keep on hand for times when my skin gets extra dry, like during a ski trip. Now I found myself loving it. One of the first things I noticed was clearer skin. It may be something to try if you are pass the stage where you use heavy duty acne creams. I think it just keeps my skin healthier, therefor less dead skin cells, less congestion, less breakout.

It is not greasy, just leaves my skin soft. I went From using this only as an emergency dry skin cream to using it as my everyday cleanser.

christinab says "The best makeup for looking like you have no makeup at all" about BeneFit Dandelion Blush

christinab — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 05:10:17 GMT

First of all, this isn't really a blush, but more of a highlighter. You put it all over your face, it is very light, and very discreet, even though it is helping so much. When I feel I just look bleh, this is what I put on. Often time it is my only make-up. It give you a nice color and brightness which negates the "I wanted to sllep in another hour" look you may have....

christinab says "Keeps me going, and tells me where I've been!" about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

christinab — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:51:10 GMT

I love this gadget. It is perfect for the casual runner who is not looking at investing $200-$300 into a running watch. At only $30 (If you own a nano) this is a great little gadget. You can set your workouts, do goals on the website, and there is a little motivational person living inside your ipod who updates you on your progress as you run. I have heard that the sensors do die, and there is no way to replace the battery. However, online I have seen the sensor only sold for less than the original set-up. I have had mine, and used it actively, for about 2 months with o problem. I do not have Nike shoes, but have used it with brooks and Suaconys successfully. You can get little cases for your laces, put it under the tongue of your shoe, or with my sauconys, they surprising have a little slit in the tongue where it fits perfectly. My only down side is that it is not incredibly accurate with distance. I have calibrated it, but it still seems to be a little generous with......

christinab says "Amazing! Goes above and beyond other washes!" about Philosophy Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser 236 .6ml/8 oz

christinab — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 04:41:10 GMT

I started using this facewash before my wedding, to get picture perfect, and have been using it now for over three years. It cleared my skin up, leaves it soft, and is one of the only face washes I have ever used where there is not make up on the towel when i dry my face afterwards. There is no need for a make-up remover or toner. A little goes a long way, so it is definitely worth the price. Love it!...
