jcrispin2004 says "an okay product" about L'Oreal Bare Nataurel Mineral Makeup

jcrispin2004 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:32:25 GMT

I wanted to try the mineral makeup and saw this version more affordably priced at a local store so I decided to give it a try. I found the results to be just okay. It was lighter than liquid makeup but also did not provide the coverage that liquid makeup does. The brush was also bristly against my face and the application very messy - the powder ended up all over the bathroom counter and on my shirt and you can't just brush it off because it cakes all over. The price is much better than similar products that I have seen but I just was not happy with the results or the mess....

jcrispin2004 says "Stinky and stains" about Jergens Natural Glow Self Tanning Daily Moisturizer

jcrispin2004 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:25:04 GMT

I would like to use a self-tanner instead of the tanning bed, obviously because it is much healthier, but it is so difficult to find a self-tanner that I like. I am still trying and this is one of the ones that I tried and did not like. I thought that maybe since it is made by Jergens, a good brand itself, it would be a contender, but it proved otherwise.

Pros - inexpensive, not orange or streaky, subtle, moisturizes while adding color

Cons - stinks! that is my biggest complaint! I can smell this like literally coming out of my pores for days with a stench that I cannot stand. It also stains your clothing and only goes so far when trying to add color; there is no healthy "glow" to it either

jcrispin2004 says "Great movie" about The Bourne Ultimatum

jcrispin2004 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:05:31 GMT

This is a great movie - in fact the entire series is excellent. It is not just an action movie, there is an actual plot involved, one complex enough to continue into a series of movies. The action is great and the main character likeable and identifiable enough to root for. I would definetly recommend checking out the entire series. Can't wait for the next one!...

jcrispin2004 says "Great product" about Heartgard Plus Chewables

jcrispin2004 — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:02:28 GMT

These are great - both of my dogs look forward to getting their heart pills once a month and gobble them up like candy. No trying to force them to take a pill. It is a reasonable price for the care of your dog, especially when it could save their life. Prevention is always the best medication!...

jcrispin2004 says "ok magazine" about O, The Oprah Magazine

jcrispin2004 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:54:03 GMT

I was excited to get the O Magazine, but it is really just A LOT of ads and the shopping advice and great finds are usually way out any normal person's budget. There are some great articles on occasion but I look forward to receiving less and less each issue. It seems like every month there are even more ads and less substance to the articles....

jcrispin2004 says "great way to be rewarded for online purchases" about MyPoints

jcrispin2004 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:24:24 GMT

This is a great way to be rewarded for online purchases. If you sign up, you earn points for every dollar spent online at certain sites - there are very many popular sites that participate, Target, GAP, JCPenney, etc. The points add up quickly if you shop online often. You also earn points for reading emails sent to you and participating in surveys, etc. When you earn a certain amount of points you can redeem them for gift cards at participating stores. It really is getting something for nothing - the only thing that you have to remember is to get on their site first and then click thru to the store that you will be shopping at in order to make sure that you get credited points for your purchases....

jcrispin2004 says "good toaster" about Black and Decker Home toaster

jcrispin2004 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:18:41 GMT

This is a good toaster for the money. It has large enough slots for bagels and also has an option for bagels and for frozen items. It is extremely easy to use and toasts quickly. It is easy to clean and looks nice as well. I think that it is available in different colors and it only costs around $25. After comparing quite a few, I thought that this one seemed like the best option for the money.

jcrispin2004 says "good so far" about Esurance

jcrispin2004 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:12:23 GMT

After getting MANY online quotes for auto insurance, esurance was by far the most affordable and the people that I encountered online and over the phone were incredibly nice and helpful. They do offer monthly payment options as well, which is nice. I have not actually had to use the insurance yet, thankfully, so I don't know how well they do at handling claims but their customer service was wonderful to begin with....

jcrispin2004 says "The best cat litter on the market" about Yesterday's News Cat Litter

jcrispin2004 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:04:56 GMT

I have tried just about every cat litter out there and this is by far the best ever! I used to use the clumping litter but the cats tracked the tiny particles all of the house and they always smelled like the litter. They do not track this anywhere. They also no longer smell like litter. This does not have a smell to it but it absorbs all of the odors. It is made of recycled newspapers so it is environmentally friendly as well. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to any cat owner to try....

jcrispin2004 says "new balance shoes are the best tennis shoes" about New Balance - WX608 for Women

jcrispin2004 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 00:59:52 GMT

New Balance tennis shoes are the only tennis shoes that I wear anymore. They are the most comfortable and the best quality that I have found. They last far longer than any other tennis shoes that I have owned and are more comfortable. They are also very competitvely priced. They have a wide range of styles to choose from as well. I would recommend them to anyone to try....
