scherall says "Keepin this one as long as we can" about InSTEP Safari Double Jogging Stroller

scherall — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:03:17 GMT

This stroller has turned out to be our best baby product investment and (by far) less expensive than most other double strollers. We spent months debating between a side-by-side or an inline, ended up with this one because it seemed more versatile. We can take the kids shopping, walking or even over rough terrain in this stroller. I drive a small car (Focus) and this stroller easily slides in and out with some room to spare. We have been using this stroller since my youngest was a newborn (yes, it does work just fine for brand new babies.) The kids are now 2 and 3 and still fit in the stroller with no discomfort. The wheels glide over the pavement plus you cannot feel the weight (of the children) you are pushing in front of you. The stroller can make sharp turns, is easy to stop and stays in place when the brake is applied. This stroller is used to walk five miles, four days per week, has only needed a washing twice and still looks absolutely brand new. This model exceeded all expectations...

scherall says "Finally found a use" about Lancome BI-FACIL - Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover

scherall — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:34:30 GMT

For so many years I received this product sample in the gifts Lancome offers and could never figure out what to do with it. I would use it to remove eye makeup periodically and use it on my face from time to time but that still left bottles of the stuff sitting around. I then discovered that this product is actually a miracle cleaner and saves so many of my other beauty tools and products. You can use this to soak your makeup poofs/sponges in and they will be as good as new. It works for the powder puffs, eyeshadow applicators and brushes as well. I used to throw these things away once they were saturated in beauty products; the money you spend on buying this makeup remover will save you cash in the long run if you reuse all the other tools. Great for getting dried up, stuck on makeup off mirrors or counters as well. Aside from that, it is also a great mascara remover and will remove stubborn foundation that facial cleaners fail to remove.

scherall says "Did it for me" about Lancome Cils Booster Mascara Base

scherall — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:29:33 GMT

I will first say that I had never noticed a burning sensation when using the product but after reading another review, I paid more attention. I will also state that I use this product every day before applying my waterproof lancome mascara. After reading the other review I will say that indeed this product can burn your eyes if you start at the very base of your eyelashes. I don't usually get that close to my skin, but rather start about half way up the eyelash. I get fabulous results with this product and the difference is noticable. I find that the mascara sticks to your eyelashes better and you do not have to apply as many coats to achieve optimal results. It does cost quite a bit, but if you are using less of the product itself, I guess it is not wasted. I think it has made my eyelashes themselves thicker and they certainly do not fall out as often and by the quantity that they do when I use mascara alone. It creates a barrier between the waterproof stuff I have to use and the natural...

scherall says "thick glam lashes " about Lancome L'Extreme Mascara

scherall — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:12:11 GMT

I have always used Lancome mascaras with fantastic results. I use waterproof because it gets so hot in our region, that mascara will "melt" off the eyelashes. I am on my third tube of this particular mascara. This formula seems to be the biggest producer for the company as far as big bold lashes goes. This stuff will indeed give you dark, thick, glamourous lashes. It makes your natural lashes look much longer than they might be and it is easy to pose or manipulate your eyelashes once the product is applied. My biggest complaint is the lash brush. The tip that you hold to apply the product is really thin. I do prefer a thinner handle over those that are the size of hair brush handles, but it can be difficult to keep this in your grip. The brush is also very harsh on your lids. No matter how gently you try to apply this product, you always hit the skin and this brush hurts! For me, the results outweight the pain but I know others probably would not feel the same way. Also, if you are trying...

scherall says "Not going anywhere" about Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup SPF 10

scherall — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:57:49 GMT

I have used this make up for at least 15 years. I used to use it exclusively when I was younger and wanted the perfect matte finish. Now that my skin has changed and I have some fine lines and wrinkles, it does not work as well for an everyday, practical foundation. I do, however, use it every single day during the summer. The sun will not melt this make-up away and it does protect your face from sunburn. I also love it because you can put your face on before going swimming and know that you will look just as fabulous when you get out of the pool. It seems to look more natural when it mixes with a little summer persperation. Other reviews have called it cakey, and I agree. It does go on very think and during the winter when skin may be dry, it will show flakes and rough patches. If you have acne, I would say you will probably get mixed results. If you are looking for a makeup that covers your blemishes, this is the stuff. But, I think the thick formula keeps skin from breathing and I have...

scherall says "Nifty interior design plus elegant exterior" about Whirlpool Dishwasher - Quiet Partner 1

scherall — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:43:35 GMT

When shopping for a dishwasher, we tried our hardest to find an American made product. Discovered that was almost impossible. This one had components made in the US and Canada, which was acceptable. We have had the dishwasher for six months, it is used at least once per day and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The utensil basket is in the door, which frees up the entire bottom basket for large pots, pans, lids and dishes. I wash all of my plastics in the dishwasher as well and have never had them shrink or melt in this particular dishwasher. I have inserted items with dried, stuck on food and ran the high temperature cycle. I did not really expect it to get the dishes spotless, but was rather surprised at the results. The dishwasher is also as quiet as promised. Before I bought the dishwasher, I read reviews that listed negatives and will agree there are issues that might be considered unfavorable. This dishwasher does take a VERY long time to run through a cycle; I am talking...

scherall says "L for Lovin It" about L Lamb by Gwen Stefani 3.4oz Eau De Parfum Spray for Women

scherall — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:36:13 GMT

This is my favorite perfume out there! Sweet yet rich. Men and women alike seem to be drawn to it; every time I wear the fragrance out I am asked for the name. Once applied, it lasts all day and the scent does not change even after being on the skin for hours. I recommend the gift sets as the gels smell just as scrumptious as the cologne. The bottle is also attractive if that counts for anything. Some celebrity endorsed perfumes are all hype and no results, L does not fall into that catagory....
