kell25 says "Smudging is a delight! (Black Pot Review) " about Stila Smudge Pots - Grey

kell25 — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:22:17 GMT

I've alternated between using liquid and pencil liners in the past, and prefer the smudge pot to both. I didn't give it five stars because I guess I'm still getting used to it (I just bought it yesterday!) So I've leaving room for improvement. What I love is that the pigment is bold and doesn't give that wet look that liquid liner gives, and it doesn't give that dull look that a pencil liner can.

As for ease of use, I think it takes some practice. I bought a thin wedge-shaped brush for $9 at Sephora that worked really well, yet I think I might go get another one that is more of a lip-liner shape. I would recommended using a brush like a lip liner that has a pointy end.

Conclusion- definitely a great a product and I know I'm going to love using it. I would recommend it to anyone. A little on the pricey side- $18, but it will last and be worth it.

kell25 says "Does the Job" about Garnier Sleek & Shine Weightless Anti-Frizz Serum

kell25 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:26:03 GMT

I used to faithfully use a John Frieda product- Frizz-Ease years ago to leave my hair frizz-free and smooth. That was awesome. Unfortunately, the bottle size has gotten dramatically smaller over the years and the price has gone up!

I decided to try this product because it is cheaper. I paid $6.29 for 5.1 fl oz. at CVS. Like the other reviewer, the bottle is super cute and is easy to use.

I also find I need to use 2 pumps to get a decent amount to work through my hair.

I've been pleased with this product. It does the job and makes my hair more smooth and shiny.
I may try another product to see if there's any difference but I would definitely recommend this to anyone to tame moderate frizz.

kell25 says "Leaves Hair Super Silky and Soft" about Pantene Pro V Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask 7.6 oz

kell25 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:18:03 GMT

I'm a fan of conditioner. I have long, thick hair and it needs good, quality conditioning. I've tried lots of conditioners and they do the job alright.

Then comes this product. Seriously, I have long, thick hair. I get comments on how thick it is whenever I get it cut by a new person. My hair is not coarse or color-treated or extremely dry. But after blow-drying, it can tend to get fluffy frizzy.

This conditioning mask makes my hair so soft it's unbelievable. It's the best feeling rinsing it out after the 5 minutes you let it set. My hair is just SO SOFT when I rinse it out. Like the other reviewer, I use this once a week or so.

I bought mine at CVS for $6.19. It's a good sized amount you get, 7.6 fl oz.

Such a great product.

kell25 says "Delicious, Family-Friendly & Affordable" about Roseanne's Kitchen - Clinton Township, MI

kell25 — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:57:42 GMT

This is such a nice, family restaurant. The menu has all the usuals of a family restaurant: fish and chips, burgers, pitas, salads, soups, and much more.

They have a special that runs during the week from 4:30pm-6:00pm where they have a list of entrees to choose from including but not limited to- hamburger steak, fish and chips...and more. I can't remember them all. But there's about 6-7 items to choose from. You get the entree, soup or salad, bread basket, and dessert all for $6!

What a great deal!

Otherwise, the staff is all very friendly and it's a great place to take the family or have a nice meal.

kell25 says "Most amazing Lemon Bars!" about Krusteaz Lemon Bars

kell25 — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 03:48:53 GMT

These lemon bars themselves are amazing. However, there is an extra tidbit- the back of the box always has the same recipe for adding a layer of cheesecake to the lemon bars which is one of the most amazing desserts I've ever had.

I've baked brownies and cookies for years. Lemon bars are nice because they are not as common and it is always nice to have something different.

If you are up for the twist, I would definitely recommend adding the cheesecake layer. It is so delicious! I took them to work once, and by the end of the day I had so many requests for the recipe that I photocopied the box the next day and gave them to everyone I work with!

kell25 says "Best Shave Gel!" about Aveeno Therapeutic Shave Gel

kell25 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:40:27 GMT

I used to buy the cheapest shave gel around until I felt like the gel I was using was not any better than a bar of soap! I tried some lotion by Aveeno that I really liked and decided to give this shave gel a try. I will never use a different shave gel! It is a dollar and some change more than cheaper shave gels, but it is worth it. Before, when I used other gels, I felt like they did not lather up much and I would still get nicks when I was shaving. After using those cheaper gels, my skin felt almost raw after, and I would want to use lotion immediately.

With this Aveeno shave gel, it is a night and day difference. It lathers up really nice and is thick and I feel like it conditions the skin immediately. When I shave now with Aveeno, I do not get any nicks. Also, my skin feels mosturized and conditioned after shaving.

This is a great, quality product. They have other versions of their gel that are just as good, also.

kell25 says "Best microwave mac & cheese!" about Bob Evans Macaroni and Cheese

kell25 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:25:07 GMT

Bob Evans has really done us a service here with this great-tasting, microwaveable macaroni and cheese! It tastes so good and is quick and easy. I have tried other microwave macaroni and cheese dinners, and this one is my favorite. Sometimes other brands have an off-taste, or are too try, or too cheesy. This one is perfect.

kell25 says "Happiness in a beverage!" about Starbucks Java Chip

kell25 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:19:42 GMT

This is such an amazing treat! It is rich and sweet and makes me happy! It has a slight coffee flavor that is nicely balanced with the decadent chocolate taste. This is a far cry from Hershey's! (no offense, Hershey's!) But, this is not a measly chocolate drink. It is quality becaue it is Starbucks, and is overall my favorite special coffee drink....

kell25 says "Most satisfying cookies- ever!" about Kashi - dark chocolate oatmeal cookies

kell25 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:13:14 GMT

My friend brought these cookies along on a trip and I fell in love with these cookies! I am all about sweets- I love brownies, brownies, and anything chocolate and sweet! I definitely did not anticipate that cookies with whole grains would be tasty, but I am telling you- these cookies are so good! My family loves them, too. They are sweet, good for you, and also filling so eating one is plenty. Unlike other cheap cookies, these cookies are very satisfying and you realistically can not eat many of them because they are filling.

Great product!
