justbecause says "Awesome product - doesn't feel like paper!" about Kleenex Viva Paper Towel

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:32:39 GMT

This is by far the best "paper" towel on the market. You couldn't pay me to use another paper towel. It doesn't feel like paper, it is soft yet strong and absorbent, doesn't shred or tear during use. This paper towel can be rinsed out and used again! I like using a disposable product that feels as good as cloth. You may be able to buy a cheaper paper towel, but you will have to use two or three times as much to do what you can with only one sheet of Viva! ...

justbecause says "Easy to use and no nasty side affects." about Flonase Nasal Spray

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:23:34 GMT

Flonase clears up that horrible problem of not being able to breath through your nose or blow your nose because you are sooo "stuffed up". It also eliminates that nasty feeling of having everything stuck at the back of your nose and draining into your throat. If you hold your head slighty bent forward when "spraying and inhaling" it helps the product not to drain down the back of your throat and stay in the nasal passage longer. Within a few minutes of use I begin to feel the relief and am able to breath normally again. You will experience some drainage or coughing up of some of the phlegm build up (gross, but true), but once cleared out you are able to work all day without the constant coughing and hacking or that pressure build up at that back of your nose. The really great thing about Flonase is that there are no nasty side affects like drowsiness and it isn't another chemical in your system....

justbecause says "Unbelievable product - I own six different colors!" about Smashbox Cream Eye Liner

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:46:31 GMT

This product is awesome. I have used it for years now and you couldn't convince me to use anything else! It takes a little practice when you first try it to get just the look you want, but once learned it is the easiest eyeliner you will ever use. This eyeliner will last all day and you can use it under the eye for a dramatic look without worrying about it ending up on your cheekbones! You are able to get the same "look" every time. The key to this product is the Smashbox eyeliner brush. Practice on the back of your hand to get the hang of making your "line" as thick or thin as you want it. Watching a demo of the product helped me - I tuned into QVC to see them demo the product....

justbecause says "I was surprised a powder could cover better than a liquid." about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:32:03 GMT

Like everyone else I watched the infomercial and thought it really couldn't work like they said it does. I finally decided to take a chance. Yes, it takes some practice to get the hang of it, but even beginners end up with a natural look that doesn't feel like a mask. I have very sensitive skin and have found that they key to this product is to MOISTURIZE really well just before applying and there will never be any irratation from using a dry product. I really like the fact that you can make this makeup look natural or dramatic depending on your mood. I no longer feel "gunked up" the way I did when trying to cover flaws with liquid makeup. Thanks Bare Escentuals!

justbecause says "If you like advertising this is the magazine for you!" about Creating Keepsakes

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:55:42 GMT

I had purchased all of the scrapbooking magazines out there and Creating Keepsakes was my first and only scrapbooking magazine subscription. I was excited and wanted to learn everything I could back then and Creating Keepsakes was definitely the best publication available. Unfortunately, as the years passed what I found was a book chock full of advertisements. They have some really awesome designers but no longer dedicate enough space to the design and "how to" sections of the magazine. The designers are why I gave them four stars rather than three. After five years I am thinking about not renewing my subscription and saving my money for their other publications. They offer some really great books like Scrapbook Tips & Techniques which offers 288 pages dedicated to layout ideas and techniques. ...

justbecause says "Easy online service with super fast shipping!" about Dick Blick Art Materials

justbecause — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:11:01 GMT

Dick Blick had exactly the thickness of chipboard I was looking for at a reasonable price. The website was easy to use and the shipping was really fast. The one thing I would like to see is a smaller size like 12 X 24 or 12 X 28 as the larger size is a little difficult to cut down to a workable size for scrapbooking. ...
