ladym33 says "Garnier Fructis Style Curl Shaping Spray Gel Curl - Great Curls" about Garnier Fructis Style Curl Shaping Spray Gel Curl Defining Strong Pack Of2 8.5 oz

ladym33 — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:19:54 GMT

My daughter and both have naturally curly hair. My daughters hair is really thick, long, and curly and sometimes she has trouble controlling it. She likes to use products to help keep hear curls under control. There are plenty of expensive things for that, but we use the nice reasonably priced Garnier Fructis Styel Curl Shaping Spray Gel.

According to the manufacturer Garnier Fructis Styel Curl Shaping spray Gel, "Takes control of your style with fruit micro-waxes, gives you the power to ceate and contrl any style you want."

The product boosts curls, helps to control them and hold them in to place and helps keep frizz away.

it kind of works like a hairs spray but also helps the curls get curlier. You use it while your hair is still a bit damp. As you are drying your hair you can curl it around your finger or push the hair as you are drying it in to curls. You just spray a little on your hair as you are drying the certain sections. It works best if you use a diffuser...

ladym33 says "Moen 7434 Chateau Single Handle Centerset Kitchen Faucet with Si" about Moen 7434 Chateau Single Handle Centerset Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray

ladym33 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:19:06 GMT

When we moved to this house all of the faucets were original to the house the house was about 9 years old when we moved in. The faucets all worked fine for many years but a few years back our kitchen sing started to have some leaking problems. My brother in law came over to fix it and thought that it was probably time that we got a new faucet. The old faucet was not looking that great anymore anyways. It looked as if it had been chrome plated and the plating was coming off.

My brother in law took care of ordering it for me on a site called Home Perfect. I told him I wanted something similar to what we had but I wanted it to be chrome and not chrome plated or any other type of material; and he picked out this faucet for me which was exactly what I wanted and was perfect for my kitchen. I did not install it but according to my manua it has a 3 Hole Application 1/2 IPS Connections 8 1/2 supplies.

The budget was tight at the time so I did not want to spend more than $100 for a...

ladym33 says "Get The Smokey Eye Look With Ulta Smokey Eyes Automatic Eye Line" about Ulta Smokey Eyes Automatic Eye Liner Smoke

ladym33 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:32:44 GMT

I like to line my eyes to give them some punch. I love the Ulta eye liner pencils. I also love it when they give away free stuff with purchase. Last time I was there I was nearly out of black eye liner. Unfortunately they were out of the black eyeliner pencils, they were giving a way a nice freebie so I wanted to buy something, but I did not want to buy something I didn't need so I asked the sales girl there if they had any more black eye liner pencils in stock, she said no but I could try the Smokey Eyes pencil.

She told me that it was pretty much just like the regular eye liner pencil but also has a little brush on the other side that you could use to spread the liner out to get that smokey affect, but she said you don't have to do that if you don't want to you could just use it as an eye liner. That sounded reasonable to me so I got it.

I believe the price was $7.99. I have pretty much already explained it. The Eyeliner side has a big lid that covers it and the brush...

ladym33 says "Thank Goodness for Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch Up." about Clairol Nice 'n Easy Root Touch Up Light Brown

ladym33 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:04:01 GMT

One time before I started to get some gray hairs I tried to dye my hair. It really did not go so well, the dye got all over the towel I was wearing and I accidentally squirted some dye on to the carpet behind me, which was a really bad thing because it was almost impossible to get out, if you look really hard you will still see the stain there.

When I started to get grays a couple of years ago it was only a couple at a time and I would just yank them out. But then more started to pop up. It is not so bad that I need to dye my entire head to cover them, but they are a little notifiable up in the roots and at the temples, actually you can only see the ones on my temples if I wear a pony tail, and since I am a busy work at home mom of three I wear pony tails a lot.

So when I first saw the commercial for Root Touch up a little over a year ago I thought that I really needed to try that.

Clairol's Nice 'N Easy Root Touch Up comes with a plastic mixing bowl. gloves, an application...

ladym33 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:58:41 GMT

When you sign up for Sephoras member card you get a free gift on your birthday when you go in to a Sephora. While my kids were at school on my Birthday I went to Sephora to look around get my birthday gift from them. I chose a very nice little make up set that was on clearance and I got a cute little container of bath and shower bubbles. What I recieved was a 2.5 fluid oz plastic bottle filled with Sephora Vanilla Cupcake Bath & Shower Bubbles. The solution inside kind of looks like a light caramel and it is also kind of comes out like a caramel. The bottle has a flat bottom but is round. There is a black lid on top of the round bottle and it has a flip top opening at the top of it.

When you open the bottle you smell the vanilla smell right away. The scent right out of the bottle is very strong and very vanilla smelling. It is a nice smell, but strong. When you use it in the tub or in the shower the steam makes the smell drift in to the air and it is lovely.

ladym33 says "Sunsilk Captivating Curls conditioner" about Sunsilk Captivating curls conditioner

ladym33 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 19:11:28 GMT

As I explained in an earlier review my daughter and I both have naturally curly hair. One of our favorite products to keep our curls curling nicely and keeping the frizzies away is Sunsilk Captivating Curls de-frizz conditioner.

Sunsilk captivating curls is a very nice conditioner for those with curly hair. It is used after Sunsilk captivating Curls Shampoo. Together they work to clean your hair, remove knots, keep frizz at bay and allow your curls to be full and bouncy.

It comes in a green bottle whose lid is on the bottom. So you actually have the bottle standing on the lid which means it is ready to use at all times and all the conditioner is by the lid and ready to come out. The bottle is 12 Fl. Oz. It sells for just under $4.00 so it is nicely price. It keeps your hair from being dried out and keeps it hydrated so frizz has less of a chance of occuring. It is formulated with Aloe-E.

The conditioner and shampoo are part of a whole curly hair cair routine with other...

ladym33 says "Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves Fortifying Shampoo Nice Waves" about Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves Fortifying Shampoo

ladym33 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:19:30 GMT

My daughter and I both have long naturally curly hair, and while I have learned to embrace my curls quite some time ago, my daughter is thankfully embrassing hers as well. Her hair is much thicker than mine is, and all one length so she just likes to let her natural curls hang down, but she likes them to look neat and frizz free. So she has really gotten in to products especially made for people with curly or wavy hair. There are a few brands that we like, one is expensive, the other is hard to find and the third is Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves Fortifying Shampoo.

She uses it along with the Wonder Waves conditioner, and her curls always look beautiful and frizz free. I also enjoy using the shampoo but sometimes I will just use the shampoo with out the conditioner if I am short on time. But I never have trouble combing my hair after using this even by itself. So that little bit of conditioning really works.

Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves Fortifying Shampoo has active fruit...

ladym33 says "Toppik Hairline Optimizer Not an Essential Tool" about Toppik Toppik Hairline Optimizer

ladym33 — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:18:49 GMT

Ever since I had my third child my hair as been thinning on the top which as been pretty heartbreaking for me. Recently I found a product called Toppok that actually fills in the thinning on my head and you can't even tell it is there. It has been an amazing thing for me, and has made me feel more confident and made me feel so much better about myself. You sprinkle the Toppik on and it sticks to your own hair and bonds to it. I did a review on it if you would like more information on it, just scan through my reviews and you will find it.

The last time I went to order more Toppik I saw the Toppik Optimizer comb. The Toppik stays on pretty well, but sometimes if you get it a little too close to the forhead you can see the line of it. When I saw the Toppik Optimizer comb I thought this it might help to move the Toppik back and I just thought since it a product made to use with Toppik that I should have it. So I ordered it. The Optimizer cost $2.50 and I received two of them...

ladym33 says "Thomas The Tank Mail Delivery Loader with Harold the Helicopter" about Thomas the Tank Mail Delivery Loader withHarold The Helicopter

ladym33 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:15:27 GMT

My 5 year old has been in love with Thomas the Tank engine ever since he could point at a television. His love for Thomas has not stopped yet, and as I write he is playing with his Thomas Toys right now. We thought that a couple of Christmas's ago that he would love Thomas the Tank Mail Delivery Loader with Harold The Helicopter set. This set is not to be confused with a Thomas and Tank and friends set, which is a bit different.

Thomas the Tank Mail Delivery Loader w/Harold the Helicopter is a Thomas theTank set based off of the television series. This is one of those sets where you have to put it together before it can be played with. Basically it is a small scale train set.

This set took us about 30 to 45 minutes to put together it may take other people less. Once it is constructed it works a bit like a mouse trap game where one thing moves and activates another, which activates another. You will not only have to assemble the tracks, but you will also need to do a little assembly...

ladym33 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:50:15 GMT

All of my kids loved to play with Play Doh. My youngest really enjoys it so I am always on the look out for new Play Doh sets for him to play with. I found the Play Doh Duffel works set for just $9.99, and although the pieces in side are classic they are still good pieces to work with when playin with play doh.

The Play Doh Duffel Bag is actually a Play Doh set. Not including the duffel bag itself there are 15 pieces. The package says it comes with 4 cans of Play Doh and over 10 accessories there are actually 11 accessories and I don't know why they could not just say that.

The duffel bag itself is mostly clear, it is the shape of a long gym bag. It has two handles at the top and zips opened and closed. It is made of plastic and has red cavas handles and some yellow detailing. Inside the duffle bag it is seperated in to 4 sections, 2 outer sections are where the Play Doh goes and the center section is for the accessories.

There 4 kinds of colors of Play Doh are pretty...

ladym33 says "Homelife Laundry Stain Remover - Like Shout But Cheaper" about Homelife Laundry Stain & Soil Remover

ladym33 — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 21:21:56 GMT

I have been using Shout the spray for many years. When I ran out last time, I was floored at the price of it at the store. I did however see a new brand I had not seen before called Homelife that was about .40 each. Not a big savings, but a savings non the less, and I am always willing to try something new. So I bought it.

Homelife Laundry Stain & Soil Remover is a spray laundry stain remover, that you use as a pretreater prior to washing the item. You simply spray the stain remover on a stain before tossing it in to the wash. You spray it directly on to the stain on the fabric. They recommend you let it sit on the stain for at least 5 minutes before washing it.

It comes in a 32 ounce spray bottle. The lid is the spray part and it is removable. I actually like the spray nozzle on this a little better than the one on the shout because the shout one is kind of large and made of a thin plastic, I always knock the bottle down, and it always seems to break really easily which...

ladym33 says "You Won't Know I'm Thinning on Top Because I Use Toppik" about Spencer Forrest Inc. Toppik Hair Building Fibers - Covers up bald spots

ladym33 — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:52:56 GMT

Once upon a time I had thick naturally curly hair. After my 3rd child was born that was no longer the case. My hair started thinning at the top and a bit on the sides. This was devastating to me. Here I was a 40 year old woman whose part line was a little to large. For years I tried product that claimed to thicken hair but they didn't help. I even had a consultation for a hair transplant, but they could not guarantee that it would work for me. My alternatives were hair pieces or getting expensive hair extensions. Until now.

I know my introduction paragraph sounds like a commercial but this actually comes from me and from my own experience, and I can not tell you how happy I am that I discovered Toppik. I actually saw Toppik on the Rachael Ray show, a man tried it out for the "Human Lab" segment of her show, and the man was impressed with it, and so was I. So I immediately looked it up on the internet, and bought my self a bottle. It comes in various sizes but I bought...

I am a member of bzz.com a web site that sends consumers products to try and also tell others about them or create a buzz about them. About a month and a half ago I was offered the opportunity to try Cover Girl Out Last Lip Stain. We were given a very limited choice of color. I picked the more naturall one which is the Flirty Nude. The Cover Girl Out Last Lip Stain comes in 12 different colors. All of the shades are pink and pinkish purple. I did not really see any reds.

When the lip stain came I was surprised at its appearance it actually looks more like a marker than a lip stick. Even the lid on the tube resembles the lid of a marker except for it is see thru and most marker lids are colored the color of the marker. The tip of the lip stain also looks like the tip of a marker. I thought it looked odd, but put it on my lips anyways. Since is fine like the tip of a marker it was very easy to outline my lips with, and then fill in the rest of my lips. The ease of...

ladym33 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:34:10 GMT

There are times in the winter when I get really, really dried and chapped lips, it can be from being out in the sun on a hot day watching my kids play baseball or from being out in the snow shoveling or building a snow man. When my lips get this sore and chapped a regular lip balm is not enough, that is when I turn to Neosporin Lip Treatment. I have always appreciated regular Neosporin so I had faith that the Neosporin Lip Treatment would work well.

Neosporin Lip Treatment comes in a .25 oz squeeze tube and the tip is round and flat and very easy to apply. The product the product is not only used to treat lips, but is also used to treat cold sores. I have never had a cold sore so I can not comment on weather or not it works for cold sores. However, I know I trust Neosporin anti biotic treatment to treat minor cuts and scratches, so I don't have any doubts that is does what it says it does.

Neosporin lip treat actually has 2 different active ingredients. These ingredients have different...

ladym33 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:13:45 GMT

We have a 5 year old who has many Thomas the Tank trains all that use batteries up rapidly. We also take a lot of pictures and have cameras that take AA batteries. These cameras also go through a lot of batteries. So we decided that it would be a decent investment to get a battery charger. So we bought a Digipower - DPS-1800 10 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit. The kit came with 2 AA batteries.

The charger charges both AA and AAA batteries which is really nice. I don't know why they call it a 10 hour charger, maybe because the batteries stay charged for 10 hours, it only takes 7 hours to fully charge batteries. You just basically plug the battery charger in and place the batteries inside and it begins charging the batteries. This must be charged in to 120 bolts, so this is not good for foreign use if you plan on taking it out of the country with you.

It can charge either 2 or 4 batteries at one time. It comes with 4 AA rechargable batteries.

The charger costs about...

ladym33 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:36:39 GMT

Our family loves to take pictures. When my husband has a camara in his hand he tends to get a bit carried away. Recently we were on vacation and my husband was being himself getting carried away with our camera, trying to take a video while driving a Go-Cart, yes you read that right a go cart. So he ends up dropping the camera, and my son who was right behind him ran over the camera with his go cart. This was a really nice camara and this was devastating. Needless to say we couldn't go the rest of our vacation with out a camera, but we didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new one. So we went to a local Walmart where we are staying anad picked up a new camera but we had to pick a cheap one as we were already over budget on the vacation. we bought a Nikon L20 10MP Digital Camers. It is in the red color which is a deep shiney maroon.

It is a simple 10 Mega Pixel camera. It has a 3.6X optical Zoom, with a 3.0 High Resolution LCD Screen. The biggest feature of this camera...

ladym33 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:05:14 GMT

We get a lot of birds in our back yard, they really love to hide out in my huge lilac bush. We wanted to be able to feed the birds, but we did not want a feeder that would have squirrel knocking food all about. So we got a Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. This is not a cheep bird feeder, it sells for around $80.00 but we got it on sale for a little over $50.

This bird feeder has a 21 inch long tube, and a 4 3/4 width. It is made of clear polycarbonate and is UV stabilized so it keeps its color and does not get yellow or dull with age and with the constant beating of the sun, and other weather. This birdfeeder is quite clever and a little bit high tech for a bird feeder anyways. The birdfeeder is complimented by a forest green powder coated flat lid that is made of metal, and a forest green die cast zinc bottom.

The birds have 4 holes with which to eat from. The feeder is held by a strong stainless steel bailing wire forms the hanging loop. Loading the feeder...
