Your teeth feel very smooth after ever session with the Oral-B Professional Care products. The question is which one to get? If you have sensitive gums, then I recommend the more expensive versions (3000 or higher) since they have sensitivity settings.  If you are sharing the device with others in your household who may not have the same gum sensitivity as yourself, again, I recommend version 3000 or higher since you may not fully understand others' sensitivity levels.  Plus the 3000 model (or higher) comes with a covered container for holding multiple brushes which will prevent the family from misplacing or swapping the heads.

I own the Oral-B Professional Care 1000 Power Toothbrush and now the 4000. I was perfectly happy with the 1000, but I had the opportunity to acquire the 4000 so I thought why not? The 4000 though gives you different modes as well as a easily seen red light letting you know if you are pushing too hard. I didn't really need these bells and whistles, but they don't hurt. I've always thought that if this kind of tooth brush was painful then I either need to stop pushing so hard or buy softer heads.  That's just me, but I know others prefer having the feedback.

It's hard for me to spend $100 plus on a toothbrush, so if money is a concern, I recommend the 1000 or the 3000. I don't really need those extra feedback lights, and often I have to change the 4000 to polish mode to get it to behave more like the 1000 (which is ideally what I want).  Note for me that the grip of the 1000/3000 feels better in the hand as well due to its smaller size compared to the 4000.

I further recommend you order at least two different kinds of heads so you can figure out the style you like. The 4000 does come with one head, and this is the type that integrates some sort of rubber/plastic in addition to having bristles (e.g., FlossAction). I think I prefer the heads that are made up of only traditional bristles but heads with the added plastic do seem to polish more.

Whether you get Braun or Phillips, do your teeth a favor and get a power toothbrush. Once you use these power toothbrushes, you'll never want to go back to the manual way.


READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT BUYING.

Okay, straight to the point, I am entering my early forties and I never grew up doing wings on my eyes. I do not do wings although, I have been trying for the past 2 years to learn how to do them, it has not worked out. I have probably tried anywhere from 15 to 20 different eyeliners, to see if I can actually do it because they all promised a perfect wing. Well, that was bologna. I came across this pretty diva winged eyeliner stamp and decided why not try it. UPS drop this off to me at my job and when I went to lunch, excited to see if I could possibly just add a quick wing to my already done makeup and let me just tell you, it came out abso-freakin'-lutely perfect!!!!! I went back to work and my co-workers were said " A .... Is there something different with your eyes"? told him about my little wing stamp and they were like oh, okay!! Every single person complimented me on my eyes. Which I have to say is not out of the norm because (and im not being conceited) people always compliment me on my eyes, they're very light hazel brown. Anywho, if you have issues trying to get your wing perfect or trying to learn how to do a wing, this literally is the product for. You would think I was promoting it for them. No! I got it and it works. And when I do reviews, I do not lie, I do not fabricate and I will not say something works if it does not.
This badboy is perfect and fits in your hand. The stamp is on one end & liner on the otherand it's not a brush liner. It's sturdy & pointy so you're able to work with it. The actual instrument that you hold is thick, not skinny like an eyeliner so it's easy to hold & grasp. I found an eyeliner I'm going to use till they stop making it or I stop wearing makeup.
P.s. The 4th picture is just a comparison to regular sized eyeliners.


I bought this for two reasons. The first being that I have an unhealthy obsessions with the blackheads on my nose. For a while I was able to convince myself that they were just pores but my roommate has never minced the truth and now I am on a mission to eradicate all blackheads. So far I am failing. I also bought it so I can check how the back of my hair looks. I do not wash it every day and have a stupid cowlick. The suction cup is sturdy but easy to move. I like that swivels so you can move the mirror however you need to get a good angle on whatever it is that you are looking at.

I was given the opportunity to purchase this product at a discounted rate in order to test and give an unbiased review. As a longtime customer of Amazon, I also depend on others' honest reviews for purchases. The discounted rate of a product will not have influence over my personal opinion. I purchase lots of items through Amazon, some I get for free, some I get at a discounted rate, and some I pay full price. I will always disclose if I receive an item for free or a discounted rate. I purchase lots of items through Amazon, some I get for free, some I get at a discounted rate, and some I pay full price. I will always disclose if I receive an item for free or a discounted rate. I do a lot of reviews so here is a break down on how I determine my star rating of a product:
5 stars – I love it! It is awesome and I highly recommend everyone to purchase this product!
4 stars – I like it, but there are some flaws. Don't we all have flaws? I would purchase again.
3 stars - It was okay, but I would probably not buy it again unless there are no other options.
2 stars – There may be worse products out there, but you can definitely find better choices.
1 star – I dislike the product, I wish I had not purchased it and recommend others to not purchase.


I originally found Sweetsation Therapy for their safe and effective sunscreens (EWG), when I was pregnant with my daughter and wanted to use only very safe skincare products. I LOVE their sunscreens, and ordered a few different ones to try. They sent samples of other products with each of my orders, and I love free samples! Aqua*Tica was one of those samples - I tried it the night I received it and was immediately hooked. Though I absolutely loved the scent of the Q*Lumiere instantly, I didn't swoon over the fragrance in this at first - not that I disliked it, but I was sort of indifferent.

It only took me a few days of using this every night (and Q*Lumiere every day) to notice a real difference in my skin. I have really dry, VERY sensitive skin. So many products rich enough to offer ample hydration at night are greasy or thick feeling. And I often end up having dry or irritated patches from other products. Not with this. It is creamy and easily absorbed, and perfectly balances the moisture content in my skin, to make it smooth and soft. And I swear, it seems to minimize fine lines also. And now that I associate this stuff with fantastic skin (and going to bed!) I am no longer indifferent to the scent, I LOVE the scent!!!

Aqua*Tica is even better than many, much more expensive night creams that I have tried. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I also have to recommend the C*Bella brightening toner. I tried it shortly after trying the Aqua*Tica and Q*Lumiere, and again, am hooked on it! It is absolutely the best toner I have every used, after cleansing both morning and evening.

Yes, I am a Sweetsation Therapy devotee. It is sooo great to find products that are not only SAFE, but also REALLY do wonders for your skin. That is a combination that is not easy to come by.


I cannot tell you guys enough how much I am in love with this hair. It's the first set of extensions I've tried based on all of the positive reviews and now I know I chose the right ones. I bought these for photo shoots but I think I'll be wearing them out more often.

While my hair isn't necessary thin, it's not thick. In some of my photos, my hair looks stringy so I thought I'd fix that issue with some fake hair. I don't have much experience with extensions or clip-ins, I don't even know what to call them. Anyway, I got this hair in the mail and it was very long, perhaps longer than I needed. Then I clipped them into my own hair, which is long and black, and it all looked like my hair! The color was PERFECT as well as the texture, and even the length. I mean, if I'm going to the trouble of putting in fake hair, might as well have it look fabulously amazing, right? Well, it looks fabulously amazing, but in a subtle way that nobody would ever spot it being clip-ons instead of my real hair. I wore the hair for a full day and it never budged. It was up in a low bun and then down and then back up in a low bun again. Very happy about that.

The first time I wore the hair, I was wearing latex clothing, covered in silicone, so some of the silicone got onto the hair. It wasn't a big deal but I did have to wash it out afterward. The hair held up to a gentle washing and dried beautifully. I treated it very delicately and even had a moment with the hair, as if it were still attached to the person it came from. Sorry if that's spooky to you, it's just to say that I cherish this hair and would never want to mistreat it.

There are two photos of me with the hair and one photo without the hair. While the added length is much longer, it looks very natural!


After being scolded by the dentist one-too-many times that I wasn't brushing in circular motions and that I haven't been giving my wisdom teeth enough attention, I recently decided to jump onto the electric toothbrush bandwagon, but at the same time, I had no desire to spend half a truck payment on one with "sonic" cleaning or five-way floss/torture heads. Over the past month, I've found that this Oral-B Vitality, which is actually manufactured by Braun and bears a small Braun logo, cannot be beat for the money! It does just what I need it to, has a nifty compact recharging station with no exposed metal contacts, and my mouth hasn't ever felt cleaner.

The only two very minor cons that I think people should be aware of are related to battery life and the two-minute timer. It's probably true that the battery will last 20 minutes between charges, but I've found in daily use that if I don't hang it back on the recharging station after every other use, the bristles spin a bit slower than they do when the battery is fully charged. Not a huge deal, but my time is precious in the morning and I want maximum RPMs, so I prefer not to completely empty the battery beyond the manufacturer's recommendation to do so periodically. Also, I can see the two-minute timer being great for those who have a bad habit of not brushing long enough, but I find personally that I typically brush for about 2-1/2 minutes, even if I'm trying to rush, so it would be nice to have a way to turn the two-minute timer off. The timer isn't a light or a beep, but rather the toothbrush "revs" its engine down and back up a few times once two minutes have elapsed, which makes brushing ineffective over the course of those one to two seconds of revving and thus again wastes precious seconds. Again, not a huge deal, but a way to turn it off would be nice. Otherwise, this toothbrush can't be beat!


I recently had a bad chemical allergic reaction to Urban Decay and I think also the Bare Minerals I was using.  My eyes became swollen and angry and the rest of my face broke out in tiny pustules and bumps.  I had been wearing the same products for years but I read abotu gradual progression of chemical allergies.  So i threw everything out including the brushes, i didnt want to take any chances.
I just discovered Evan Healy at my Whole Foods.  I needed something to calm my irritated skin down so I bought the Blue Kit to give it a try.  After 1 night and 1 morning of use there has been a visual improvement in my skin as it calmed the inflammation down.

This serum is fantastic!
I found Evan Healy's videos on youtube.  Mixing this serum with the Hydrosol together (oil & water) and putting on the face is extremely luxurious!  It being winter now, my lips have also been chapped no matter what i put on them.
Yes i have even been using the very expensive Dr. Perricone Moisture cream for a few weeksand I put that on my lips... still chapped!  My skin also is not that well moisturized from it.
Well i love putting serums on and this rosehip oil serum is healing the skin around my eyes better than Dr. Perricone eye cream.
I put it on my lips too and immediately my chapped lips are GONE!
Maybe the chemical reaction is a blessing in disguise.  It is forcing me over to natural products and I'm happy to do it.

Im going to continue to use my Blue Kit and nothing else on my face to see how the progression goes.
This is restoring my faith in ALL NATURAL aromatherapeutic products free of harsh chemicals and cancer-causing agents.  I am now wondering about the lies from mainstream conventional skin care about oils on the skin making oily and clogged pores.  Perhaps it is the fact that all those chemicals suppress, force and stop the skin from doing its natural thing and when you add natural oils it gets clogged?

if you have irritated and chapped skin, give this serum a try.  you'll love the aromatherapy as well.  its worth it!


Look - Life ain't perfect - neither are we.  We increasingly live in a time where YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

First Premise: Anyone who still manually brushes is asking for trouble - the environment ain't what it used to be and groundwater poisoning is a big part of the story of deregulation.  I've spent thousands and hundreds of hours in dentists' chairs - currently much of the lower left quandrant of my smile is cerac - and I brushed faithfully daily for decades - up and down brushing with daily flossing (no matter how intense)does not cut it.  Thus, the incredible evolution in electronic toothbrushes over the past decade.

Second Premise: AC Outlet Rechargable is better and the motor will last twice as long (assuming proper care).  However, Battery Run is FAR MORE CONVENIENT.  I have found that with proper maintenance - these units last approximately two years.  Proper care means unscrewing the brush head and cleaning and drying the connection at least monthly if not weekly. After a month of brush use (or thereabouts you'll find alot of gunk - mostly from you and your tube of toothpaste - inside there - I use q-tips and paper towels to clean it) Proper care means checking the batteries for corrosion as well as charge when the unit slows down. If you find signs of corrosion in the - clean it out thoroughly.  For checking batteries - use a simple  aa/AAA/C battery tester - an invaluable tool to these days.

Conclusion: You spend about $10 bucks a year on the unit and $10 to use two brush heads per year as well. After two years, if it's broke or the motor has slowed down significantly - even when new batteries are installed - chuck it. If you've got the money, $20 a year for a new unit annually is not really a whole lot compared to what dental work costs these days.  Actually, mine unit is going on three years old and is working fine - although battery life does seem shorter.


This steamer is AWESOME my hair loves it! The features are great the quality is good. I seen many steamers that were price really high and I found a really great deal on this steamer. The dome is really big and the nape of my hair also get steamed which is a plus. I don't have to change postions just so my entire head get the full use and I love that. The company shipped really fast as well.... FOLLOW UP!! 01/21/2012 OMG! Where do I start, I was in love with this Hair steamer untill it begin to smoke and shut off on me. The plastic cup that holds the water has melted on the side Im not sure what went wrong today but this is crazy. It started off perfect and now I am wondering what went wrong I contacted the company via email lets see how this goes....I will keep this matter updated **UPDATE** 01/29/2011)I contact the company via email they did respond back in a day or two with the wrong number for me to call but when I sent  a second email they provided the correct contact info. On 01/23/2012 I spoke to a nice guy in customer service who informed me my warranty had ended and there was nothing he could do for me. I explained to him very calmly how this steamer went south on me, and I am not the only customer having issues with this model. Well I made my point clear, stood firm and he offered to send me a refurb model free of charge. The re-ship was very speedy it arrive just a few days later and it seems to be working better than the new one I purchase back in Sept.2011 It takes sometime to heat up just using the 400 wats but thats ok I will never use both as I agree with another review its just to much power and this may cause your steamer to smoke or overheat and shutoff. Im not sure how long this one will last but I will enjoy it while its working now....On my way to deep condition:))


All 4 perfumes are wearable & the bottle sizes are great for if you can become bored with a fragrance quickly. Great value.

Other people describe CURIOUS as sweet & light, but the top notes give a sharp first impression on me. CURIOUS has an unusual sweet/sour combination that will keep me coming back for more.

Scent notes: Louisiana magnolia, golden Anjou pear, lotus flower, tuberose, star jasmine, pink cyclamen, vanilla-infused musk, sandalwood and blonde woods.

Can cupcakes & chocolate ever be a bad thing? I admit I was a little wary - I suffer from migraines so can't wear a lot of my favorites; including Angel by Thierry Mugler. Not so with FANTASY. This is a sweet scent, but the fruity & floral notes lend a touch of grown-up supplely.

Scent notes: Red lychee, golden quince, kiwi, cupcake accord, jasmine, white chocolate orchid, musk, woods, and orris root.

The soft floral notes seem creamer as they're enveloped in the crème brûlée & the vanilla & musk notes warm the fragrance up. IN CONTROL blurs the top, heart & base notes into one on me. I'd recommend this for autumn/fall as it's so warming & comforting. I also like the black bottle; very dramatic. If I see IN CONTROL in any shops I'll be stocking up on it.

Scent notes: loquat fruit, midnight orchid, crème brûlée, black vanilla bean, tonka crystals, sugared sandalwood and musk.

MIDNIGHT FANTASY is strong on the fruit notes. The notes of plum & cherries stayed with me all the way through the floral hearts notes. The result was that I couldn't separate any of the floral notes. The vanilla in the base was also very subtle; I could pick out the musky tones. I'd have thought the base would be sweet, but it's not. MIDNIGHT FANTASY is all about the fruity notes.

Scent notes: Black cherries, framboise, plum, orchid, freesia, iris, musk, amber and vanilla.


[[VIDEOID:c3fd6aa3fd81dc685534297df7c2d3c1]] "PLEASE READ!!!" THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! o(╥﹏╥)o(╥﹏╥)o(╥﹏╥)o(╥﹏╥)o(╥﹏╥)

I want to thank you soooo much!!! For this. I was been trying to figure out where can I get this perfume. Because the thing is. That it was hard to find it. I can't see the words in my Grandma's perfume. It was her last thing she left for my Mom. And it was really little bit left inside.

She was really worried and depress and didn't know what to do already. And she asked me if I can help her find it.

So then I did try my best to find it. And check in Amazon too. Or in Google first. I check from the bottom of the perfume bottle to see if I can find the company for the perfume.

But then it was like faded and it was really hard to see.

So then I keep on looking at some words to figure it out.

I saw only half of this words EAU FUN SPRA something.

Then I spelled it. But still didn't find anything.
So then again I looked.

I saw words like AVAON something.
So when I type it in Google it showed me some other words like AVON. So I click it in the images. And it show lots of other kinds of perfumes. I scroll down and looked slowly.

But then!!! I found it!!! It was just like the one like my Grandma's!! And I was gonna hide it and not tell my Mom. But I want to let her know. So she can be really happy I found it.

I am really sooo glad you people still have it. I was worried. They won't have it anymore. Cause I know this kinds are old fashion.

Now my Mom is really crying and happy joy. She finally has it. Now I know they have here on Amazon. I will always order anytime.


After years of promising to cut back on dairy and hit the gym daily, I've come to accept that most goals — big or small — are more of a work in progress than an instant transformation. Such was the case with my skincare goals. But even though I don't wake up a brand-new person overnight, it's still nice to reset my intentions and recommit to my goals. My #1 goal this year was to transform my skin before the holidays. I didn't get serious about it until July when I decided to buy some skincare products.

There's so much conflicting information about what you should use on your face I decided to go with the most affordable options. Worst case scenario my skin falls off :P
Lucky for me, I've seen great results. The derma roller was the most intimidating and I was actually not going to buy it. But after reading about the hype I finally decided to make the purchase. I chose this brand quit randomly actually, I just liked their colors lol But after using the derma roller a couple of months I can confirm the hype is real!! I notice the difference in how my skin feels on the days I use the derma roller. My skin is softer, brighter, and overall healthier looking. In case you are curious, here's what I ended up purchasing for my skincare transformation routine.

Here are the products I bought:
• Neutrogena Gentle Cleanser
• Organic Argon Oil
• Cetaphil Moisturizer
• Neutrogena Sunscreen SPF 35
• Marvelush Derma Roller

My Routine:
AM:
• Cleanse Face
• Derma Roller
• Cetaphil Moisturizer (just a nickel's worth for entire face)
•  Sunscreen
PM
• Cleanse Face
• Derma Roller
• Argon Oil (just a nickel's worth for entire face)
• Cetaphil Moisturizer (liberal amount)
It's mid-October at the time I write this review and I am happy to say I will meet my goal. My skin looks more vibrant, less drab and people even tell me I look so much younger.


(I have this wig in two colors: Black and light brown. The quality of the black is very, very bad: It's really fake looking and looks cheap. However, I ordered it by accident when I meant to get the light brown, so I'm basing this review on the light brown, not the black. The black would be one star.)

I purchased this wig in "light brown" after having my eye on it for quite a long time. While this wig requires a bit of work, I think it's adorable! I will say that there is a TON of volume and frizz. I love love love volume but it was a lot for even me to like. I simply twisted it in two sections and let it sit under a few text books over night and it slimmed it down quite a bit. This wig is very cute left down and natural and extra cute when put into a side braid or bun. The waves are small, cute, and crimp-y, and it doesn't even really need brushed! There was minimal shedding the first time or two wearing it, as to be expected with a synthetic wig. I don't think people are accounting for the price when they look at the quality ;) I got this wig because right before my fifth semester of college began, I went to get a "beach wave" in my hair and the stylist practically burned off all of my hair. I would absolutely recommend this product, just remember two things: It takes a little patience and it's an amazing price!
UPDATE!!! It's been two months since I bought this wig and wrote this review, and I STILL love it. Since I purchased this wig I also bought an $80 lace front, "high quality" wig, and let me just say that this wig is even wayyyy better than that one. The bangs remain cute and easy to style and you can tame the poofiness rather easily. After a lot of wear and tear, this wig still looks great! :)


MatrixSight Set (4 in 1) Epilator/Callus Remover is very nice device for women.  I mainly use to remove Callus and it works great.

But for review purpose, I used Epilator adaptor and it pulls hair gently and quickly without irritating skin .  It hurts little bit like anything else that pulls hair out of the skin, I wouldn’t lie. But, it’s quick and safe to pull hair.  Unlike waxing, it doesn’t leave skin red or peel the skin.  I can see if someone has lots of hair to pull out, it can be very painful.  I would suggest to put “numbing ointment” about 15 min prior to using Epilator can help ease the pain.  Good thing about using Epilator is, eventually, no hair will grow on your legs.  I have been using Epilator for multiple years and now, my legs doesn’t have any hair. If any, it will be one or two strand of hair and I can even use tweezers to pull it out.

Best part of this device is, it’s rechargeable.  I have another one (pretty popular one on the market) and its battery operated and after just couple of use, I need to replace battery.  Just past 3 months period, I think I’ve spend more money on batteries than actual price of devices.  So, I was very happy to see this is rechargeable.

I have no use for clippers and trimmers for myself, but my husband does use it. So, we are using all adaptors that came with this device.

I had an opportunity to purchase this product discounted in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  However, regardless of how much I’ve paid for the item, the Company/Seller did not influence in anyway how I rate this product. What I wrote in my review, whether good or bad, is voluntary and entirely my own.


Should I start my review by telling you how incredibly creamy Easydew Daily face wash is? How it  makes my skin feel great as I'm washing with Easydew and even better after I've rinsed it off? How much I love the scent?

Don't worry, I'll tell you everything! This is  my first ever Easydew product. In fact, prior to seeing this face wash in my VINE offers, I'd never even heard of Easydew brand products.  I'm so happy I ordered it.

A nice, thin line of the wash dispenses from the tube.  (The tube is very sturdy and durable, for those interested in packaging) Now, the wash starts out like a kind of lotion but it lathers quickly and easily into a light, whipped foam. ( A dime size amount is all I need to sufficiently cover my face/forehead.  ) The whipped foam is SO creamy and it just feels so darn good as I apply it and when its on my face.  IDK if its possible but I swear I can feel it cleaning, hydrating and moisturizing my skin pretty much immediately.  After I rinse with lukewarm water and pat my skin dry with a towel, my skin is soft, smooth, clean and has  a bit of a glow.  It looks and feels so good and healthy. It feels fresh.  And it feels that way long after I've used Easydew.  Easydew leaves my skin feeling like it did when I was younger-before I used makeup, before I spent too much time in the sun unprotected.  It feels revived and I just love that feeling!  Everything about this daily wash is perfect in my book.  It works great and makes my skin look/feel great. The ingredients and what they do for skin is impressive. (I recommend taking a minute to read the info above regarding the ingredients!)  The scent is wonderful (though it vanishes VERY quickly).  And I have no issues using it on my dry, very sensitive skin.  The price is more than reasonable, especially with the results the wash brings and the fact only a small amount is needed when I wash my face.  Easydew is officially  a part of my daily skin care  routine now.  I absolutely recommend Easydew!


Impressive!  I've only had this product a few days and believe me, I received it in the nick of time.  I THOUGHT I wanted to switch from 10%/overnight to 35%/30 minutes.  I had no issues at all with 10% so I thought it would be quicker to bump on up to 35% and only need 30 minutes.  WRONG answer for me!  The second day of my new routine left my bottom teeth so sensitive, I had pain in my jaw.  It was like 10,000 bees stinging.  I immediately figured I had nothing to lose by at least trying this gel.  I put it in the tray and even though it was NOT instant relief, it seemed to calm the stinging down enough for me to get comfortable.  I fell asleep and after six hours, it was like nothing happened.  I got up the next morning and was able to eat and drink as usual with absolutely no stinging.  I will update this review after a little more time but the way it stands now, I won't be without this gel again.  I have a sensitive tooth in the very back of my mouth I am hoping to improve with overnight trays.  No noticeable improvement yet but it's only been three days.  Crossing my fingers!  **UPDATE**  After using this product for about 14 days (twice a day for 45 mins) I can tell a major difference.  I ended up bleaching at 15%/overnight which wasn't bad but I could tell it could have easily gone bad quickly.  An easy 30-45 mins with this after bleaching I was set!  I can also tell a big difference on my problem tooth.  It's not completely gone but much better. One small note (and it's kinda picky but......) The syringes can be difficult to "gently" push down and it's very easy to squirt out half of the tube without trying.  Of course, sometimes you can draw it back into the syringe but depending upon where it goes, you could lose it.  Like I said, it's a small thing and certainly not enough for me to never be without this for an emergency again!


I have really really thick hair. It's down to my shoulders on the sides and back and layered upwards. The top layers are about 5" long. My hair is wavy and unruly.  It takes a good 45 minutes to 1 hour to even attempt to straighten or style it. My hair would feel brittle and rough. Within an hour or so, it would kink back up. Not to mention, it would take almost 2 tablespoons of shampoo to get it to feel clean.

Then I tried this shampoo. It took 2 small squeezes. I noticed quite a g [d lather and bubbles, but no where near as  many as name brands you buy in stores. I always leave shampoo in for a few minutes, as recommended by a beautician. I towel and air dry 99% of the time.  My hair did not feel as rough, brittle, or unruly as normal.  It felt lighter, almost like it brought out more natural curl and bounce.  I did not use conditioner several times after using this. It didn't feel that my hair needed it. It did not seem to take as long to straighten, either. I did not notice too much of a scent to this shampoo, but it had some scent.  I honestly can't tell you the exact scent.

I love it that water is the first ingredient and alcohol doesn't appear in til the 8th ingredient listed.  I'm very cautious with anything containing alcohol within the first 4 ingredients. It drys my hair and scalp out to where I'm constantly itching and get really bad dandruff. My scalp has not has near the itching and has had less flaking.

''DISCLAIMER: I did receive this Earth Botanicals Argan Oil shampoo at a discounted price in exchange for my own honest, unbiased, and own original opinion. However, I will rate by my personal experiences with any product, instead of rating by price.


This is fantastic.  Free yourself from Philips' non-replaceable-battery tyranny!  In their high end toothbrushes, Philips doesn't use Li-Ion or even NiMh rechargeable batteries.  They use cheap Ni-Cd batteries that no one else has used for 20 years.  You can't even buy Ni-Cd rechargeables if at your local retailer if you wanted to, because they are so lousy nobody wants them.  And to top it off, they make the cheap Ni-Cd batteries non-user-replaceable.

This means when the NiCd batteries die (won't hold a charge), and they will, SOON, your Sonicare toothbrush is useless.

Unless you have this one.

It's just like the other Sonicare toothbrushes, except you can put your own rechargeables in it.  I use Sanyo Eneloop.  They run the toothbrush for about 6-8 weeks (compared to 2-3 weeks for a new Sonicare).  Then you just pop them out, recharge them, and pop them back in.  And the Eneloops, because they are a modern battery, will survive over 1500 recharges.  And if the batteries DO die, replace them, and this toothbrush will go on forever.

I'd fallen victim to Philips' trap twice before, when I had to trash two Sonicare's due to failed NiCd batteries.

Now I am free from their battery tyranny.  All their toothbrushes should be made with replaceable batteries this way, and the fact that they're not is just to force you to buy new ones (otherwise they would use modern battery technology.)

Don't worry about other reviews saying this toothbrush shorts out.  It's perfectly sturdy and reliable.  Just don't drop it in the water.  It doesn't matter if the brush end gets wet, it's only the battery end that can't be submerged.  Unless you plan to use this toothbrush while swimming, this is the one for you.

Best Sonicare toothbrush I've ever had, an the last one I will need to buy.


Update:
This primer is really growing on me. I've tried acouple other's since making my 1st review, and it makes me appreciate this primer much more. It's very smooth, and silky going on. Leaves, a very mellow, yet bright look on your eyes, which looks really pretty alone! Eyeshadow go's on smoothly over it, and I do think it helps it pop the color out. It's not tacky on your eyes like some. I would say it's better by itself, and to help making the application of eyeshadow easier, and help's shadow stand out. It does dry quick. The con's are, I can't really tell a difference in my eye makeup, or shadow lasting longer. &, I do still wish it came with more, because it doesn't last long at all. I only wear makeup once in a while, and I've already ordered another one, after 5 or 6 wears, and I probably have maybe, 5 or so wears left. Maybe! It's hard to tell because of the shape of the bottle. Will update when it's actually gone. If you're planning to use it daily, I'd say it will be hard to keep it in stock. I think I'm going to only use it by itself, when I don't want eyeshadow over it, so I can stretch it out, because that's my favorite thing about how this primer looks. Wish they offered a bigger size. Or, anymore at all. They're sold out as I'm writing this, and my 2nd bottle hasn't arrived, yet. Almost ordered 2 more, and I wish I would have now.

Original 2 star review, upon arrival, before actual use...
Came really quick. Still has 33 days left on estimated time. Came within the week. Packaged very good. A little too good, and hard to open. Product is in a pretty bottle. I am a little disappointed with how much product there is, however. It's also kinda thick down in the bottle, and looks like it could dry out fast. I haven't done my eye makeup, yet, so can't speak on the quality of the product as a primer. I will update once I do my eye makeup. I would give more stars if it had come with a little more product. :(


Reviewing the UV gels, I received; I purchased my set from the seller Bravolink. Although these do have a stronger smell than the odorless IBD clear products, I do find that most colored UV gels have that smell others have mentioned. I ordered two sets of these from different sellers. This review will only concentrate on the set received from the seller Bravolink. The packaging is perfect for UV cure gels; you must have them in a container that prevents UV light from curing the product. Do not buy any UV products packaged in glass or other items as another buyer has mentioned. The pots were stacked in a single layer protected by a plastic box. I had no leaks or loss of product; packaging was great. Since the pots arrived in the mail, i did set them face up and allow the gel to settle to the bottom for about 10 minutes before opening my pots. Who knows what position the ups truck had them in before my package arrived. Since I have amazon prime, they arrived in two days, so I cannot discuss mail time.  The only reason this did not receive a five star rating from me is due to the labels used on the pots. The brightly colored label can make it hard to see swatches placed on the top of similar colors. If they revamp the labels, it would be five stars. Even if they change the label to include a white dot in the middle to allow great place to do a color swatch, it would be perfect. I'll post some pictures here comparing the IBD pots, (which you have to color swatch also, btw) for a size comparison, I received about the same amount of product that comes in each of  these pots as the .25 oz. IBD color pots I purchase. The consistencies of these were great. I will post a green bay logo and mani I have done with these UV gels in the next day or so. I will be back when I need more and the purchase this from this seller. The amount of product is great for the price.


InstaNatural's Youth Express Age-Defying Moisturizer reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and other signs of aging as well as moisturizes your skin from deeply within. This may be used as an all around face treatment and as an under eye treatment. It also helps your skin to get better tone, complexion, brightness and that special glow that can get lost with age (or lack of sleep).
  As far as a daily moisturizer I loved this. It is very lightweight and comes in a HUGE bottle. I like that it is all natural and leaves my skin naturally soft and not greasy. Also a little goes a long way. It is very non-irritating to my sensitive and dry skin. It also lasts for a long time I could feel my skin soft over six hours after application. My only complaint with it is it smells really bad. It reminds me of burnt leaves. Unfortunately, it is a side effect of natural products not having fragrances and like all of the natural products the smell leaves minutes after application thank goodness! However, I will say my husband tried it as well and he liked the smell of it, so perhaps this is even better for the men out there who need to moisturize. The only other disappointment I had with this is that it does not have any sunscreen or SPF protection in it and that is always a bonus for me that I try to look for in my moisturizers especially.
  InstaNatural strive to have their customers 100% satisfied. Their logo is actually "we truly care about you". The Youth Express Moisturizer comes in a 4.5 oz 9100ml) container. Trust me while experimenting with this and all their products a little goes a long way. The Youth Express Moisturizer is 98% Natural which is actually very good for a moisturizing cream. The majority of the ingredients are oils, vitamins and organic herb blends. It is good for two years in the bottle, they do not test on animals and they even offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.

  Next Generation Stay At Home Mom gives InstaNatural's Youth Express Age-Defying Moisturizer 4 Stars!


I live in Southern California so suncare is a daily priority 365 days a year.  I've tried many different products on the market.  Here's my thoughts on the Every Man Jack suncare product line (spoiler alert: hands down the best products I've tried so far!).

1) The entire suncare line of products was designed specifically for athletes/active individuals meaning you can rest assured that you'll be well protected for a much longer duration than other brands on the market.  Less time spent reapplying means more time for enjoying life!
2) The spray and face shield bar makes applications a breeze.  I have two small daughters and don't miss the daily fights to put on sunscreen and rub it in for what seems like hours.
3) Their products don't leave you feeling sticky and greasy like all the other sun care products I've tried.  They are also fragrance free so you don't have a funky sunscreen smell all day... I don't get home and immediately run for the shower to wash it off!
4) The suncare lineup is enriched with aloe vera and vitamin E to help hydrate your skin rather than leave it dried out and damaged. We already do enough damage to our skin each day, don't compound the problem even more
5) Paraben free.  Enough said.
6) The company is extremely environmentally friendly (the entire lineup is ocean and reef safe).  I can apply sunscreen to the whole family and know I'm not adding unnecessary chemicals to the environment (every little bit helps!)
7) I originally bought Every Man Jack suncare products directly from their website but now having it available on Amazon makes it that much better... because who doesn't love free one or two day shipping?!

I hope this review helps anyone who is on the fence about trying these new products.  They really are better than everything else on the market that I've tried (and I've tried a lot).  Give it a shot.  You won't be disappointed.


I got this shaver as a gift for my husband who normally uses those shavers where you keep the handles but have to constantly buy the disposable heads.  I've always seen pictures of these types of razors in shaving commercials so I figured I would give him a little gift. And WOW! I really didn't expect it to go over as well as it did! I don't know a ton about razors but I do know when the man is happy with his.

As soon as I got it and gave it to him, he was a little reluctant to change his routine.  But then I couldn't get it back from him even to do a review for it! He loves it!  He says it gives him a much closer shave (probably due to the fact that there's an actual razor blade inside the shaver) and that, while it's a little weird shaving with just the edge of a razor (instead of having those disposable heads against his cheek) he's starting to prefer it because of the results he's getting.

And it's really easy to clean! You simply turn a knob in the handle and the shaver opens and you can take out the blade inside and give it a little rinse and you're done!  My husband applies a little oil to make it go further but it's a less than 30 second job and he sets it to dry to be ready for the next use.

After his experience, I really recommend this shaver to anyone else in the market who may have the same experience as him! My husband is a very hard man to impress and the fact that this has immediately become his new favorite razor says a lot to me and I hope it does to you as well.

*Disclaimer: I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased feedback. I do not review anything I wouldn't trust to use on my own body or on my family. My analysis is based on actual use and with the interests of the customer being my primary concern. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.


My wife has always done interim trims to her hair between salon visits and since the beginning of Covid she has been cutting my hair regularly.  At first out of necessity because barbers were closed, and then because she frankly does a very nice job of it.  Last November the handle on her favorite hair shears broke.  I superglued it but it ended up breaking again so it was time for some new ones.  I was just going to pick up a pair at a local general retailer and she told me I just didn't understand hair shears, they had to be very sharp and well put together or they won't cut hair nicely.

So I saw this Bicrops hair cutting shear set and thought I'd try it out.  These were her comments.
I was a curious how these would cut as when I took my first snips they didn't make that metal on metal shearing sound that my past hair shears have made, they are nearly silent. I was pleasantly surprised with how well they cut. They are very accurate whether it was a thick grouping of hair or just a few hairs and they are nicely balanced in my hand. The quality of the thinning shears is also very good. I'm very happy with the purchase and love the case that it comes with. It has snaps to keep the scissors in place so they don't move around and room for a comb as well.

When I told her the set was well under $20 she didn't believe me.  She  guessed it was around twice the actual price Bicrops is asking, so I figure these are a pretty good deal.

I also like that they have a click stopped tension adjustment nut to make fine and accurate adjustments to the blade engagement so they cut well but don't have unnecessary pressure making them wear faster and more tiring on the hand to operate.  They really are buttery smooth while cutting very well.

The finish is also really nice, bright and smooth with a little jewel on the adjusting screw, which is a nice touch.

Overall an excellent set of hair cutting shears.


Thanks to a series of unfortunate events involving a car accident AND a bike accident, I am the (not so) proud owner of a partial denture. For quite a while, I just used two old margarine tubs to soak my denture. (Pro tip: soak your denture in plain water in a separate container and then rinse it thoroughly before putting it in the cleaning solution, and then your cleaning solution won't get nasty.) But when the lids of my margarine tubs started to crack, I decided to get some "real" denture cups. Yeah...I should have just eaten some more margarine and washed out a new tub.

These cups are not in the least impressive. The lid of the blue cup snaps shut but isn't remotely leakproof--tip it just slightly and you'll have water or cleaning solution sloshing all over. The lid of the white cup doesn't even snap shut. It just barely rests on top of the cup and strainer, and if you don't watch what you're doing when you pick up the container, you'll find yourself holding the lid and looking at the cup and water/solution all over the floor.  Furthermore, the two cups are far too hard to stack. The white one can't go on top of the blue one because the lid of the blue one is curved, but putting the blue one on top of the white one is precarious because the blue one is wider. And I find it surprisingly annoying to have two containers that won't stack taking up twice as much space as necessary in my tiny bathroom. About the only feature of these cups that is at all handy is the little strainer thing, and since my denture is plastic and floats, I don't find even that feature very useful.

Bottom line: you can soak dentures in pretty much any container, and you can find two small plastic containers with flat tops and secure lids for considerably less than the cost of these. Toast with margarine, anyone?


This cellulite cream is not one of those hot, burning, ripoff products that make you feel like your cellulite is melting away when in reality you're only giving yourself a rash. This is a smooth, creamy, nice-smelling product that seems to really and truly be helping my cellulite. I am 5'2" and I weigh a firm, fit, muscular 125 pounds. I am also 43 years old and a mother of 3. Being as small as I am, I expected a few stretch marks with my pregnancies. I actually got lucky and ended up with very few stretch marks, but I did earn a little cellulite in my belly. Particularly around an old scar from where I had my appendix out at age 15. For whatever reason, this scar has become decidedly attached to some very stubborn fat cells. No matter what exercises I do, or how much cardio I do, this little scar retains a firm hold on an ugly little bubble of cellulite, and it's one of the few places I got a handful of stretch marks.
I have tried tons of products over the years, and never had much success. Now, I'm not saying this product is a miracle, because it isn't. My cellulite and stretch marks didn't disappear over night, or even in a week. But I have noticed some improvement, and I'm certain it isn't wishful thinking. I never hold much hope for any of these products, so that I'm never too disappointed. Also, I've stared in the mirror at this ugly little place on my body for years now. There has definitely been improvement.
This cream also makes my skin soft, and that's always a plus. At $22.00 for 4oz, I certainly wouldn't buy it as an all over lotion, but for spot treating stretch marks and cellulite....definitely.
I received this item at a discount for an honest review. I would have posted pictures, but I'm too self-conscious to do so...even without my face in the pic. But this is an honest review and I have in no way been compensated.


My moisture starved protein sensitive 3c curly hair loved this hair conditioner/masque especially in conjunction w/ the Hairgurt shampoo. My curls held their moisture a little longer than with my normal routine, I really love that, as I live in an arid incredibly dry climate.
I usually stick with tried and true or known brands, but recently I've been open to giving lesser known labels a shot I use Biolage ultra hydrating source & various Davines products fyi.

My first thought when I received this item was to think Oh, no... the 2 containers are very small, I'll burn through one of them in a single use.
 But Nope! The stuff's super thick and rich, I probably used about 1/5 or 1/6 the tub, so I'll get about 12 uses from both containers which puts this on par price wise w/ any other med to higher end hair masques.
My hair had body, and was bouncy and hydrated, not greasy or flat.

My biggest concern was since there's dairy & wheat proteins in the mix, it might cause my hair to be over protein-ized. Luckily this was not the case, I have to attribute that to the lovely mix of natural oils and butters included for moisture.
I'd say this product strikes a very nice balance w/ the moisture protein ratio, making it suitable for more than a once a week treatment.
The smell is understated and subtle, but pleasing.

My only con (aside from a high end price point) is the product ingredients are not listed on the separate tubs.
They are listed on the cardboard sleeve that wraps around the package.
This isn't ideal, as I've already misplaced it several times.
I hope they remedy this in the future.

The packaging, two six oz yogurt style containers, is cute.
It's handy they have 'do not eat' listed on the container, as I keep the extra tub in the fridge so it'll stay fresh longer.
Iit does indeed look and smell like an edible product, even after you open the container.

It's thick, it's creamy it has a lovely balance of ingredients.
I received this item to evaluate in exchange for this review.


I'm a false eyelash beginner and I have to say that magnetic lashes are far easier to apply, in my opinion, because the magnetic pull as you get the lashes close to their intended destination help you place them properly. They also seem to be a little more forgiving than traditional adhesive lashes if you need to slightly reposition them. This set has a great variety of styles and lengths and comes with two tubes of magnetic liner and a pair of eyelash calipers to help set them in place. If you're just starting out with lashes, this is a great way to do it.

However, there are some downsides. First, I find the eyeliner extremely irritating to my eyes (and my nose, as it is heavily scented). It is also really difficult to remove (I have to soak my eyelids with Bi-Facil on a cotton pad at least twice and then follow up with micellar water and MAYBE that will get all of it off). Be prepared to soak your lashes, because that's the only way this stuff is coming off. Second, I find the lashes somewhat uncomfortable. They feel heavier on the lid than adhesive lashes and I can often feel the metal on the band. I tend to remove these long before I remove a pair of adhesive lashes because I am never NOT aware of them on my lids. Third, if you use a tweezer/caliper thing to place your lashes, do yourself a favor and just buy a decent one. This one is plastic and has no tension, so you have to manually open it to fix the lashes in it, then fiddle with it again to take it away from the lashes. For me this was a bonus, because I got so frustrated with it, I just learned to do it with my hands with much better results.

Despite my problems with this set, I would totally recommend trying this out to see if magnetic lashes are for you. The variety of styles will give you a lot of options to experiment with different looks, but do take care of your eyelids and make sure you have appropriate product to remove the tenacious eyeliner. Happy lashing!


I pre-ordered this deck months ago and after much anticipation, it was very well worth the wait.

I'm slowly going through the deck card by card.  The packaging is nice,easy to take out without destroying the box.  It also comes with a Spread Sheet. Literally.  *snerk* A sheet which illustrates different spreads on the front and back.  Very handy for beginners.  The deck is roughly 2"x 4" and included are two extra quick reference cards -- one for the majors, the other for the minors.  Nice touch.  I wish all decks provided this.

My only complaint so far is they provided a 70pg. LWB.  Nothing more.  No large reference book with extensive background on the cards symobolgy, like they've done in the past with the Celtic Dragon and ShapeShifter decks.  Kinda disappointed (hence the 4/5 stars).  But if I wish to carry this deck around, a big book would be cumbersome I suppose.

HOWEVER, what is nice about the LWB is they provide a mythical background on the creature, a divinatory meaning, AND magickal use of the card.  Nifty!  Never have I seen the Magickal Usage option before in a tarot deck.

So, card by card, I'm taking in what I think the symbology means then reading the LWB and finding I'm fairly accurate.  Either I'm getting
better at Tarot or the deck really syncs with me like the Celtic Dragon and Fey decks do (ShapeShifter is a more difficult one for me to grasp now, but I have faith in the future it will become quite the tool for me when I'm ready).

Lastly, and one of the reason why I love Lisa Hunt's decks, is the Wands/Air - Swords/Fire connection.  Few decks represent that and I've always been more intuitively drawn to that way of thinking, even before my Tradition's teachings reflected the same.

If you are a fan of Lisa Hunt -- get this deck.
If you are a fan of mythology -- get this deck.
If you are a witch or tarot reader who is more connected to the Wands/Air, Swords/Fire -- get this deck.
If you are like me and need a reference card now and again (lol) -- get this deck.


Having mixed feelings, I fought with writing this review being that I'm a beauty industry pro and I usually purchase  wholesale from an overseas  vendor.  Just for clarification  there is a Loose Wave and a Deep Loose Wave. I have woren borh.
 So after unpacking , the loose wave  bundles were beautiful until I took it out of the net.... the curl dropped.. What was even more disappointing  was the tangling/manageability  and how dead/dry the ends were. Testing, by lightly -medium spraying with water and letting dry,I was able to see how much wave /curl  was left.... No curl and was puffy/bushy very little to no wave . Usually with  loose wave you can wash and go. Not the case here. I also noticed that some bundles lighten faster than the others. During the lightening process there was a toxic chemical smell,  yellow residue  and I noticed the hair was REALLY  hot to the touch and there was a sizzling sound that made me extremely alarmed .. I immediately rinsed in luke warm water. Was afraid to process again so that I could get the potential color want not knowing if the  hair was going burn  due to how hot the hair was during the first process. Good thing it's for myself and not a paying client so Im fine with the color that I have. There isn't any unusual shedding  even after the lightening process BUT it's still early!
 To sum things up... I do not recommend  using this company.  Trust and integrity means a great deal in the business word. As a consumer on Amazon did read the vendors return policy  before placing my order AND ALL of the hair vendors have the same policy BUT what I can't understand is how was I supposed to know the hair wasn't as the vendors description and have the problems that occurred without  disturbing the bundles?  I would have to give a refund if this was for paying client!! The vendor return policy implies they hold no responsibility for misrepresentation in the description so if once you've disturbed the hair... that's it!  Classic case of "Take  your money and run OR "Next". SMH!!!


Being as close to “all natural” is a requirement for all my skin care products. Over the years I’ve experienced the good, the bad and the awful when purchasing skin care products.  I’m happy to report that Jillaroo Luxury Natural Eye Cream by Y Not Natural is a GREAT product. It is a nourishing eye cream containing certified organic avocado oil, shea butter, vitamins, minerals and amino acids and retinol. I posted a photo with the full ingredient list.

The Jillaroo Eye Cream spreads easily and quickly absorbs into the skin. I’ve been applying the cream to my eyelids and below the eyes. It does not leave the eye area feeling or looking greasy. It has no detectable fragrance and it also does not sting my eyes. I let the Jillaroo Eye Cream absorb for about 2-3 minutes before applying any additional cosmetics to my eye area (mascara, eye line, etc.).  Only a very small amount of the Jillaroo Eye Cream is needed and I anticipate the bottle will at least two months or more.

I’ve been using the Jillaroo Eye Cream for 5 days, twice a day (morning & evening) to give the product a good test. I’m really happy with the results. It definitely helps smooth away the fine lines around my eyes. I’m seeing small improvements to my eye area. I’m planning on repurchasing this product when the bottle starts getting low.

The bottle is contains 15 grams of eye cream (about ½ an ounce). The 3.5 inch bottle is also a great size for traveling. The eye cream comes with a snap in place clear travel cap.

Y-Not Natural is a Western Australian owned and operated family company. The Jillaroo Luxury, Natural Eye Cream is just one of many products they make. The company has a full line of high quality natural products. I’m hoping more Y-Not Natural products become available on Amazon.

On a final note - I receive this item at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. I am not affiliated with the manufacturer or seller of the product. I do not receive any type of compensation for positive or negative reviews.  I only purchase items I truly want to use for myself.


I use fractioned oils to make rollerballs for my oil blends and for a carrier for various topical uses.
I have been wanting to recreate a muscle cramp relief oil from a major essential oil club and lucked up with a copycat recipe.  These oils are over $30 for 5ml and, while it works great and smells amazing, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that knowing that I have a box full of single oils.
When I saw this bottle with the pump, I knew it was time to try my hand and mixing this recipe.  I had a few other rollerballs that I wanted to make (some decongestant and immune boosters since it’s getting to that time of year) so I inserted the pump and got to work.  The oils mixed VERY well and the pump on the bottle made it very easy to dispense just enough into the small rollerball opening.  That is SUCH a nice feature – manufacturer, please don’t remove that from the item.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spilled my fractioned oil everywhere because it was difficult to contain since it’s thin.
Once I had worked through the 5 rollerballs for my family needs, I had enough room in the bottle to make a BIG batch of the massage oil with the rest of the fractioned oil.  IT WORKED!!!  I’m soooooo happy with this bottle of fractioned oil.  I can easily pump out what I need to work out my sore muscles and apply to hubby’s back (he has scholosis and other degenerative issues).  I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to use fractioned oil for their essential oil uses.
I have opted to test products as a hobby and thus, received this product at a reduced price in order to fully test the product offered. I have not been paid to leave a review but simply received a discount to test the product for flaws or issues.  This review is of my own words and using my firsthand experience with the product. If I like it, I like it, if I don’t, that is reflected in my reviews.  I have written this review as if I paid full price for the product and is not biased due to the discount. If you appreciated my review, please click “yes”, that it was helpful


I love, love, love Atomic Pink by Special Effects.  I've been dyeing my bangs unnatural colours for years, and I've always used colours that you could get at Sally's or the drugstore (Ion, N'Rage, Manic Panic, Splat) and NOTHING compares to this dye.  Not even Pravana, which is a professional hair dye.
I went to my stylist to have my whole head bleached for the first time, and she was able to get my medium brown hair very platinum.  She added on Pravana dye, Magenta and some other colour mixed together, to try and achieve a bright pink colour that would fade to pastel pink.
After two washes, the Pravana turned BRIGHT orange at my tips.  It was very disappointing, so I decided to take my hair dyeing into my own hands, and buy some Special Effects dye, which I had heard good things about in the past.
The first time I dyed, there was an immediate difference.  I diluted the dye with a bunch of conditioner, and used about an 8th of a bottle of the dye, with a tiny tiny bit of leftover purple I had.
After two weeks of washing every 3 days, the orange was very faintly coming back, so I dyed over it again, knowing it was the ugly Pravana colouring.
Ever since that last colouring about a month ago, my hair has not turned orange at all, and is fading beautifully and slow. I am very pleased with this dye and get compliments all the time.  I will always recommend Special Effects now, and I can't wait to try more colours!!  Also, the price is amazing for the intensity you're getting.  Mine turns out very bright, and I use mostly conditioner.

Please do NOT use this dye if you don't know what you're doing.  I saw a few reviews where people are putting this dye on their dark brown hair thinking it develops the hair or something.  YOU HAVE TO BLEACH YOUR HAIR.  This is a vegetable based semi permanent dye, all it can do on brown hair is tint it, maybe.


Still getting the hang of how to properly apply this, and get my parting juuust right so it will all fit on my head.

I was skeptical at first because it was synthetic hair...but I wanted to try it out and wow! I received nothing but compliments while wearing it! I was afraid of it being able to pass, from how shiny it was compared to my own hair (I'm black by the way haha), but it worked!

I love how wide it is near the middle, to simulate hair body, and the way it tapers at the end with a very slight curve.

I have to press my natural hair with heat in order for it to be straightened, so my hair texture is different from the wig--but applying some oil (Africa's Best-Ultimate Herbal Oil...which ironically, is made in America lol), really helped add shine to my own hair so it matched with the wig's shine.

My only gripe is my head seems to be a bit too small for all the clips to fit perfectly around its shape--but that may just be me getting that U shaped part all wrong haha So I'll keep working on that!!

Oh yeah, this wig is pretty weighty, but thank goodness the clips feel heavy duty-ish to handle it. They are definitely felt throughout the day while wearing, but once I get used to their tug, I should end up forgetting they're even in my hair.

Edit!: After a month + of use, I noticed the clips may have been pulling some hair from my scalp out and left it a little tender.

Overall, this half wig is fantastic for short term use. As for long term, a full headed wig is a lot less stress on my hair and my noggin.

And yes, the day my mother saw me wearing this half-wig in a braid, she thought it was my real hair. When I undid the braid and wore it as a straight ponytail, I thought ‘This is it. She’s going to notice how thick and straight it is and KNOW it’s not real.’

I spent the whole day waiting for a call out that never happened. She probably just thought I grew my hair out.


This ZAKORA electric shaver is actually an IPX7 water-resistant shaving system that includes brush and trimming accessories to use with the shaver. It also includes a standard razor handle with 3 cartridges. This ZAKORA electric shaver is rechargeable and uses UBC C charging so there's no need to think about taking along a separate micro USB cable if you're taking this ZAKORA electric shaver along with you on a trip.

I used this device for a bit over a month and it held up well. I shave 2-3 times each week using it on both my head and my beard. Being able to use this shave wet or dry is a huge convenience. So is being able to pop off the rotary shaving head to replace it with either of the included trimmers.  The items combined with the standard razor make this ZAKORA electric shaver a complete shaving system that helps keep a person well-groomed both at home and while on-the-go.

What I liked most about this ZAKORA electric shaver was:
- Delivered a close, comfortable shave.
- Had enough attachments to keep me from having to use multiple shaving tools to shave my head, manage my beard, and trim any loose hairs between my brows, ears, or nose.
- USB C charging is extremely convenient, especially if you use this ZAKORA electric shaver away from the home.

What I liked least about this ZAKORA electric shaver was:
- 1:1 charging. 90 mins of charging only yields 90 minutes of shaving. A bigger internal battery would have resolved this issue.
- I am not sure how to acquire replacement cartridges for the standard razer that's included in the package.

Overall, if your looking for a complete shaving solution at a great price this Zakora electric shaver should make your shortlist. This Zakora electric shaver comes with everything a person needs to shave their head, manage their beard, and eliminate most loose hairs around the brows, ears, and nose. This shaving kit even has a standard razor handle and 3 cartridges for those occasions when a manual razor is required. I wish this Zakora electric shaver had a bigger battery and there was a way to get more blades for the included standard shaver. However, those are minor issues when weighed against the totality of what's offered in this package and for this price. 4.5 out of 5.0


I've had water flossers before - they're honestly pretty fantastic since they can get in places and in pockets where regular floss can't. If you get the right one and know how to use it, it's a lot like having your own dental assistant to help clean your teeth. My last water flosser gave up the ghost after I dropped it while moving (RIP water flosser!) so this seemed like it'd be good to try out.

Upon using this I immediately noticed that the lowest setting wasn't shooting out water hard enough for me, so I turned it up to the max. That worked better, but it still didn't have the oomph that its larger counterparts did. So if you're looking for a particularly intense water flosser, this isn't really going to be it. On the other hand, this would probably do well with people who want lower pressure.

The fact that this is handheld is pretty nice, although it does take a while to get used to since I'm used to the smaller water flosser nozzles. It's a bit like holding a really huge toothbrush in some aspects, if that makes any sense. The water being in the unit is an OK feature but if you like being very thorough and doing several passes, you'll more than likely need to refill at some point. That part isn't a big hardship as filling this up is a breeze and one of the nicest aspects of it. It's insanely easy to do and isn't needlessly complicated.

In the end the main draw for this would be that I can take it with me on trips, which I almost certainly will. It's far easier to pack into a travel bag or throw into a suitcase than a standard water flosser with a huge tank would be. I just don't think that I'd prefer this for daily use over a more traditional unit, especially since I like my water pressure a lot higher than that. Still, for what it is, it's not bad and it'd be a good little gadget for travelers.


My first reaction: This looks neat (for the bottle/packaging). My Daughter's reaction; " It smells like in a hotel!". Since I have used the Argan oil facial cream and the hair mask, and I was so impressed with it, I have decided to take a chance on the Pure Body Naturals Therapeutic Shampoo. Right off the bottle it says HYPOALLERGENIC, GENTLE AND SULFATE FREE, I was a little bit hesitant on the gentle part, because even with kid's shampoos they are still a little bit harsh on the kid's eyes and I have five years old who knows when to complain. But I gave it a try anyway, since it says it there, well why not give it a try? right?! So, the time I opened the bottle, she asked me
 "Mommy what is that in the brown bottle?", .
 And I answered, " This is the new shampoo, Mommy wants to try".
 "Can I smell it?', she asked. So I let her, and long and behold she just blurted out ,
 " hummmnnn, smells like in a hotel!, I want it".
 End of the story, she now has it in her bath and another thing that surprised me, she said that it didnt sting her eyes at all. She said, I dont need my shampoo hat anymore. I like this shampoo.
So they were really not kidding about their "gentle" part huh. Usually, after shampoo, we have to use a conditioner because if not, its a battle with the tangly hair, but with this shampoo, we havent used a single drop of conditioner at all. It is gentle enough to retain my daughter's hair moisture. So, i like this one, but unfortunately I have to get myself a new bottle since she took claim of this one.

So I decided to grow my hair out and I'm at that lovely not-quite-long-enough for a ponytail but too long for letting it hang down in my face stage. I picked up this headband in the hopes that it would be more secure as I played sports, was active in the yard etc. It does hold my hair back and looks pretty good while it does so. I have moderately curly hair (big loose curls) and this pulls the front back securely enough that it goes straight without being so tight that it rips hairs out of my scalp or anything. You can bend the hairband out so that it doesn't grip the sides of your head so tightly - I had to do this, and I usually wear a large size hat. In fact the look with the headband on is so good I have been wearing it to work (business casual) and have gotten compliments. You can see the "wavy" part in my hair right after I put it on, sort of a cool effect, but after an hour or so my hair pulls up a little and the headband sort of just disappears.

I am glad that I ordered two.

Update Jan, 2014

I am back to order a couple more after leaving one on the bin at airport security. I really like these bands!
- Yes the black paint eventually wears thin/off where the band sits on your head. It does not flake, does not catch hair, just wears off. No one sees this but me so, I don't care really.
- If you buy this band, don't forget to bend it to shape to your head. I am amazed to read that people never realize that since it is metal you can reshape it. This point alone makes me prefer metal to plastic or wood.
- If you travel, take one in your luggage so you have a backup.
- I can see where people with really thin hair would not enjoy this band. I have a lot of very thick hair and the waves of the band are awesome at dealing with the bulk without putting extra pressure on my skull.


When I first tried this serum, I wasn't sure I liked it...but it has grown on me.  The serum is well-described as being milky.  It's thin and white...so much so that I found it hard to believe it could be much of a moisturizer.  And when I put it on my face, I noticed it had a bit of a tack/stickiness to it.  It wasn't overwhelming like glue, but if I put my hands to my face, I noticed that tacky feeling.  Again, these were not things I was used to in a moisturizer.

The moisturizer is fairly quickly absorbed; however, and that tackiness goes away within a minute or so.  What you're left with is a nice smooth feeling.  I don’t know that my face feels overly moisturized, but it feels healthy.  I also tested it on one of my elbows (which has just a bit of eczema), and I believe the eczema has improved beyond what it was looking like with shea butter applications alone.

My wife has been using this serum as well, and she would give it 3 or 4 stars...while my opinion is 4 or 5.  Four stars then seems fair.  I love that this serum has its origins in Korea, as I trust their beauty standards.  And admittedly I would say my feeling that the serum was a bit unusual was tempered by the product's origins.  Again, I trust their beauty standards and somewhat assume I'm filling a hole I didn't know was there.  A couple weeks in, I'm not yet completely convinced that I will make this or a similar product a standard in my skin care regimen.  I nevertheless love the idea of rotating products/varying what you apply to your skin (to again cover any holes the products you've been using may be missing), so I'm very glad I tried it.  If I notice any outstanding results (one way or another), I will provide an update.


[[VIDEOID:10ee564ed0527e6b550c90fb7fe5c4f8]] [[VIDEOID:d5cee90b22952126885005b624285c57]] Nice, high-quality tools with a compact storage case. There are several size options provided. TIP: use after a good long exercise session. Your face will be nice and warm and moist, perfect time to clean your pores before getting in the shower!  Instructions are not included in the package but I will include them here:

Before performing the extraction, please remember to:

1. Clean your face with exfoliating gentle cleanser and rinse with warm water.
2. Dry your face or skin with soft towel.
3. Soak the extractor tip that you want to use in rubbing alcohol for few seconds, this will make sure that your extractor is free from bacteria.
4. You can also fill a sink with warm water, cover your head and lean over the warm steam for 5 minutes before extracting the blackhead. This will open your skin pores and make it easier to extract the blackhead.

To use an extractor, please follow these steps:

1. Choose your appropriate size extractor loops or tips. The loop size should be near to the size of the blackhead or comedone.
2. Then center the extractor over the blackhead and then gently press down and pull forward at the same time.
3. Wipe away the extracted blackhead with an antiseptic cotton swab tip.
4. Do the extracting process only once. If the blackhead cannot be removed with this first treatment, and continuing several times in one go will most likely cause a wound on your skin. You can try again in a few days or so.

Update 10/26/15 - These are awesome! Finally had a blemish to take out with the kit. It was fast and easy, even worked well without my face being super warm. I used a warm wash cloth to heat up the blemish-area for 5 minutes (or less). Then I placed a loop over the blemish and dragged slowly. Magic! I was worried it didn't get all the gross stuff but it did and the next day you couldn't tell there had been a white head there. Very nice!!


The Oral B Vitality Dual Clean toothbrush performs like many of the $100+ power brushes but at a fraction of the cost.  I started using mine about a month before my most recent dentist visit and noticed a definite improvement in my brushing results, both above and below the gumline.

Brushing with the Dual Clean takes a little getting used to.  First, it's a different technique than regular brushes - you simply glide the brush along your teeth and gums rather than scrubbing back and forth.  The fast pulsation of the head takes care of that for you.  Once you get use to this new technique, it makes for a very comfortable brushing experience;  however, I did experience some minor bleeding for the first few days of use.  Second, the power of the motor means that the vibration is intense until you get accustomed to it.  I experienced this as a severe tickling sensation in my nose and palate for the first week or so of use.  It also includes a simple timer that momentarily revs the motor to notify you when you've brushed for the prescribed two minutes.

This package includes a handle, a charging base and a cleaning head, so it's ready to use out of the box.  It runs on a rechargeable battery, so there's no need to keep feeding it AAAs.  On the downside, this makes the handle rather bulky, although its rubberized grip makes it easy to manage.

Over the long run, the Dual Clean has proven to be well-constructed, having survived being packed away for several trips (battery life is good enough that you won't even need to bring the charger unless you plan on being away at least a week).  Maintenance is simple - both the handle and head are easy to keep clean by simply rinsing after each use.  Unfortunately, the initial value that this unit offers is diminished by the relatively high cost for replacement heads.

Overall, the Vitality Dual Clean does an excellent job of cleaning your entire mouth - my dentist said as much.  It's also dependable and very affordable, making it a great buy.  The sensation of a power toothbrush may not suit everyone's tastes, but at this price, it's easy to see for yourself.

PROS
*  Exceptionally clean teeth and gums
*  Value priced package with everything you need to start

CONS
*  Some may find the bulky head and handle uncomfortable
*  Replacement heads are expensive


I've bought 3 different styles of these and I had a hard time choosing which ones to get so I hope this review will help others. Sorry I don't have any pictures, I tried but I suck at that so I'll try to be as detailed as possible. First of all, these really do work if you make sure to put a couple coats of magnetic liner on, let it dry in between coats and before you put the lashes on. I bought the expensive liquid liner from Moxie and that seems to work better than the cheap stuff I've bought. However, I prefer these lashes over the ones from Moxie and they cost a heck of a lot less! I bought style 232 first and they are great for going out, they are long and thick but not so much that they touch my eyebrows or anything. I wanted a pair for everyday so I tried style 229. They are slightly shorter (not much) but thicker than 232 and do not flare or taper at the ends (same length lash all the way across). I really liked these also but they still seemed like a bit much for work, so then I tried style 234. These are perfect for everyday lashes! They are still decently long and full but they aren't too dramatic. They just look like you have a great set of natural lashes and a good mascara. (Keep in mind that my natural lashes are short and light.)

I had lash extensions for years and I loved them but they are costly to maintain and take a lot of time. I decided to take a break from them but they have taken a toll on my natural lashes and I had gotten used to the way I looked with them so I needed to find a replacement. I could never get the hang of using strips with the glue so when I saw the magnetic lashes I wanted to give them a try. I started with the expensive ones and loved the concept but had a hard time finding a pair of lashes that weren't too short or too long. I'm so glad I found these! I didn't give 5 stars because one of the pairs I bought had lashes that were 2 different lengths in the package (as a pair) so I cannot wear those.


The lights, vibration, and warmth feel wonderfully on my neck and face. The vibration combined with the lights helps make my skin look alive and healthy, after just two weeks.

HOW I USE:
1 - I cleanse my neck and face as I would on any day. When I say cleanse, that means washing and using toner.
2 - I apply [[ASIN:B073WVKRBN USDA Grade Jojoba Oil]] on my face and neck as the moisturizer I want to use with this device.
3 - with my neck I start at the collarbone and move up to my chin and on the back of my neck, I move up to my hairline.
4 - on my face I start in the middle and move outwards toward my hairline.

The vibration starts once you pick one of the gears below and the device head is touching your skin. Also, your hand must touch one of the sensing "rings" on either side.

First Gear (Green):
Promotes skin surface microcirculation
Fights edema
Calms skin

Second Gear (Red):
Improves blood circulation
Eliminates wrinkles
Restores natural skin color

Third Gear (Blue):
Tightens loose skin
Promotes collagen synthesis.
Suitable for oily and sensitive skin

I use it for about 10 minutes on my neck and face, daily.

GREAT PRICE & PRODUCT that is a definite match👍.
(The product is well made, exactly what is advertised, and is priced as it should be in MY OPINION.)

DISCLAIMER:
📝Yes, I am a VINE 🗣VOICE member. EVERY product that I review, I selected. The product or item is ALWAYS something that is needed and now is being used in my Home🏡 , Yard 🌱🍃, by my FAMILY 👨👩👧👦& Pets🦮🐾🐈⬛, or JUST BY ME 💁🏻♀.


I've been using Eufora products for maybe 10 years or more now?  I love all of the products I have used. I have naturally curly hair which can be prone to being frizzy or dry, and these products really help.  Some I use regularly and others on occasion.  The scent on this stuff is amazing.

In fact one of the reasons I got so hooked on trying this stuff was because my hair dresser uses them along with many other products and I was always going around smelling how good she smelled and wondering what perfum she was wearing.  However this is the type of scent that doesn't interfere with regular perfumes.

It reminds me of just a light natural scent you might get if you walked by a flower stand.  Not overwhelming or sweet or musky but just light and fresh.  I get a lot of comments on my hair smelling nice as well.

I use these products:

 1. Moisture solution conditioner - regular conditioner
 2. Moisture cleanse shampoo - regular shampoo
 3. Hydration leave in conditioner - leave-in conditioner
 4. Urgent Repair - on occasion as special treatment
 5. Beautifying serum - to tame frizz and dead ends daily
 6. Sculpture Styling Glaze - when I need some hold on occasion
 7. Illuminate Shine Mist - to finish off a look with a light gloss
 8. Fortifi Strength Spray - daily to enhance strength of hair
 9. Pure Polish Finishing Drops - Works the same as the beautifying serum, except I was say for situations when you have especially course, curly or dry hair.  Beautifying serum is a little lighter.
10. Curl 'N Defining Solution - when I need some hold on occasion
11. Curl Revitalizer and Spray - when I don't have time to wash my hair and just want to plump up and freshen the scent of my curls
12. Smooth 'N Straightening Balm - on the occasions when I want to straighten my hair
13. Fixation Styling Wax - Tame the baby hairs around the face, the little fly aways with this


Like another reviewer, this was not an item I would have selected myself.  I received it as a gift from a friend and was hesitant to use it out of fear that it would have an overpowering floral smell due to the lavender.  However, the bar ended up being a pleasant surprise, and I will likely buy it again.

Since I don't like too many bubbles in my bath and, more importantly, like stretching my Lush products as much as possible due to the cost, I cut the bar into fourths.  I found it to be a lot harder to cut than most Lush products, so if you're going to cut it, use a really strong knife and be ready for it to blow apart a bit as you slice through.  (It's pretty crumbly.)

What I like about this bar is that, even though it's not very bubbly -- even as someone who cuts bars, I usually get more from others than this one -- it leaves a wonderful silky feeling on your body.  I love that, even in the water, I can feel it on my legs, and not in an annoying greasy way at all.  It's so relaxing!  I usually put cocoa butter on my legs after shaving, and I don't need to do anything after using this bar.  It has some sort of wonderful lotion quality about it that I adore.  More than the scent or bubbles, that is the reason I will purchase it for myself in the future.

The only objection I have is that it seems to melt a bit more than other bubble bars.  I've kept it in a sealed container in a cool area, but it just doesn't keep well.  If you're going to cut it, be sure to use the other pieces within a couple weeks at the most.  And, like all bubble bars, don't get it wet unless you're going to use it right away, because even the tiniest bit of moisture gets it going.


It is absolutely miraculous and with regular use it will transform the look of your face and your skin, I cannot recommend getting it enough. you will need a lot of gel so you should buy the most economic brand that you can get, it doesn’t matter at all what properties it has, only that it is a water-based gel. I am not one of those Amazon reviewers who got “free product” in exchange for my “unbiased opinion”. I paid my own hard earned money for this, and then I bought another set in case anything goes wrong with the first one - and because they say you need to give it some kind of a break, in order to preserve the gases, like one day use one day rest. I don’t understand either, but because this thing works I’m going to give them a pass on the instructions. As a result I bought two sets, used one on the first day and one on the second day, problem solved. Yes it is somewhat expensive but my goodness, this can actually do something to your face unlike any number of topical creams which just sink into the epidermidis no matter how many so-called miracle ingredients they possess.  This thing works by basically wounding your sub dermis to the point where it had to make you collagen, but because it’s done with ultrasound you don’t feel any pain. The one thing I would say is do not submit to the temptation to put the saying on a high setting on your face, start on level one, and do level two on your next session. If you put it onto a high setting on your face you might burn yourself, and won’t feel it as you do. Also remember to put your full finger on the wand before you touch your own face with a Wand, this will prevent the very tiny little sparks like a miniature electric shock as the wand comes into contact with your skin. Read the instructions first. You only need a brief time per area. You’ll be glad you did. And get this if you can afford it. Use must be consistent for best results.


I've been happy with this clip.  The spring on my old Goody clip finally bit the dust and finding a quality replacement in a large 5 inches size is quite challenging.  I find that most clips nowadays are made with a brittle type of plastic that when I inevitably drop it on my tile floor, a tooth or two on the clip can easily break off.  This clip seems to be made of the more pliable or soft plastic like my old Goody clip was made of - so drops don't result in a tooth shattering off the clip.  I also really like the low profile of the tabs for your fingers on the back of the clip - they don't protrude nearly as much as on a regular clip and I like that.  I also like the tortoise shell color - it blends in well with my hair color. I was willing to pay for a quality clip that would last and I am happy with this purchase.  I like to have a few around the house for whenever or wherever I need them (cooking in the kitchen, in the bathroom for brushing teeth/washing face, in my suitcase, etc.)  I will definitely be buying a couple more.

UPDATE: July 2019 - I still really like this clip and use one every day (I own several) however I've now had two break within a couple of months of purchase.  One was at 3 months and one at 8 months. I can't remember what broke on the first one but this last one the spring didn't break - it was the plastic that holds the spring that twisted and will no longer hold the spring (see photo.)  I love these clips because I have very long hair and they do hold my hair, but at $10 each I wish they lasted longer than 3 or 8 months.  I had a Goody clip that lasted at least 15 years before it finally failed (spring broke) - too bad Goody no longer sells the super large clips.  3 stars off for the poor durability of this product.


I have have a constant battle with dehydration which leads to a secondary battle with dry skin.  I purchased this not really knowing how it was going to work, but thought it was worth a shot, plus I love the smell of Argan Oil.  So, my learning experience began.  After receiving it and using it for the first time, I was surprised and a bit disappointed.  Where was that amazing smell?  This must be crappy oil!  This brought me to do some research about Argan Oil, which led me to my answer.  Argan Oil in it's pure form has no smell!  Whaaaat????  Then why do so many of these Argan Oil products smell so heavnely?  I guess they have scent added to them.

Despite the lack of smell, I am using this Argan Oil with great success.  I apply it very sparingly...just a few droplets for an arm and my hands...repeat wherever you need moisture.  It absorbs very quickly into the skin, is colorless, has no fragrance whatsoever and it's not greasy feeling.

I also recently watched a tutorial on makeup application where one drop of oil was added to the hand and then foundation makeup was added and mixed with it.  I used this Argan Oil of mine to try it.  It went on beautifully and my skin appeared flawless and well hydrated.  It says the oil is from Morocco, which makes sense because the Maghreb region of N. Africa is where it originally hails.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is suffering from dry skin or wants a massage oil that is going to absorb and nourish the skin.  Also, it's a great product for those who might have allergies because it has no fragrance or parfumes which is so important for people who suffer from allergies or migraines.  I was fortunate enough to get a discount on my first bottle of this product and I wanted to share my honest opinion about it.


States that their mission is to repurpose organic goods into innovative and eco-friendly products and that their packaging is 100% recyclable, and the exfoliating coffee grounds are repurposed to lower landfill waste.  The bottom of the box reads: "Providing the highest quality beauty products while minimizing our footprint on the environment."

First, the three soap bars you receive are little; like taking a normal sized bar of soap and cutting it three ways.  As any soap user knows, once the bar is used down to a certain size, it's ready to be replaced.  And since these pieces are already so small, it's not long before you reach the replacement decision point, but x 3, as opposed to x 1 for a normal sized bar of soap.  So for a very high price for what's a normal sized bar of soap cut up three ways, you'll be going through these bars fast, possibly wasting more, and needing to buy more sooner -- not eco-friendly!

The package is meant to give the impression of being earthy and eco-friendly.  It's in a high-quality cardboard box (and not the recycled cardboard type), and the soap is surrounded with some shredded newspaper to give the impression of recycling/repurposing.  Inside were some additional card inserts which were unnecessary.  Then around Christmas time, I receive an enveloped Christmas Card (nice quality) from the “Urbanized Family" - at the time, I didn't know who the "Urbanized" family was or why they were sending me a card.  Later I realized that the card was related to the soap purchase; - the card, of course, had gone right into the trash as junk mail.  How very wasteful for a company touting itself as eco-friendly, wanting to help the world lower landfill waste, and promoting itself as a business with the goal of minimizing their “…footprint on the environment."

In my opinion, overpriced soap (attractive looking and with a light scent, but nothing really special) and a marketing strategy insincerely meant to play to the conscious of people looking to spend their money in ways that contribute to a more eco-friendly world.


I purchased OZ Naturals Facial Cleanser Contains Powerful Vitamin C, OZ Naturals Facial Mask, OZ Naturals -  Retinol Moisturizer Contains 2.5% Retinol Cream, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin E + VITAMIN B5 and OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum For Your Face - Organic Vitamin C + Amino + Hyaluronic Acid Serum, four items total.  I'm 48, light brown skin black American.  I want anti aging and skin brightening products.

Now, I don't know if it's because we've already have gotten some hot days here in DC which my skin tends to oil up compared to winter months, but I got a pimple above my right eye brow, then two small pimples on the left side  of my of the jaw, which I do use a rotary razor.  Then another one where I shave left side side face.  I'm light brown skin and don't' have severe acne, but they may pop up here and there. Today, I have another small pimple right side shaving area. But before OZ, I used another brand which uses all natural 100%, men anti aging; don't know if I should name it, RSVP. But I thought I would try OZ.

RSVP products were used during winter when my skin is dry, not oily and no problems.  I have some pigmentation spots due to chicken pocks when I was 19, so they didn't totally go away. But my face looked pretty good.

So, I don't know if I'll return OZ or stick it out. On my second week at least with the products.  I don't think my face can take a lot of lotions and creams, maybe with the warm days, oily skin and such, my pores getting clogged. I do a mud facial mask and use apricot face scrub too; store brands.

*** UPDATE 6/12/15 ***
I'm still getting pimples and now too late to return.  So disappointed.


This is the second ice roller that I have purchased through Heaven's Bliss. I have many health related issues as side effects from past cancer treatments as well as fibromyalgia, chronic pain and permanent nerve damage all over my body and a bulging disc in my lower back... etc. I get unexplained muscle pain...same with my tendons, you name it..it will hurt at some point. I'm getting to the point that i am tired of taking all these chemicals and medications that only make me tired and cranky. I'd rather deal with the most of my pain with heat/ice therapy and massage (so long as it doesn't hurt my skin). I cannot tell you enough how much I absolutely love these rollers. And its a great idea to have more then one going in the freezer at all times. When I am hot and tired from a hot flash I can roll it on the back of my neck and on my face and I am instantly awake! Its refreshing! It helps all my muscle aches and pains that aren't helped with heat. I even used them last night when I was attacked by a swarm of Florida mosquitoes out in the yard. I was a mess....scratching my legs like crazy until I went and grabbed an ice roller and started rolling away all the itch and burn from the bites. One of my medicines makes bug bites leave huge welts on me and they itch and last for days and days longer than normal. Having had cancer twice like I have...I'd rather not use all those sprays and chemicals either. So I try to cover up and stay inside but sometimes you have to be out there in a hurry, like last night and well...you know the rest. I have been given the chance to purchase these Derma Ice Rollers at a discount for my unbiased and honest review. I honestly can't say anything bad about the product. They are just so handy and help with so many things!! It's also helped to reduce redness from my childs acne issues...just a wonderful invention overall!


In short, this is THE best shaving cream/soap/gel/foam I have ever had the joy of using.  Period.

Here is the situation:  I have a really thick, course, wiry beard combined with ultra sensitive skin.  Quite possibly the worst combination of factors when it comes time to shave.  The result has been a life-long (25+ years of shaving) quest for the best combination of products, hoping to produce a smooth shave that doesn't leave leave my face resembling a slab of meat.  I have tried practically every method and product known to man, short of ritual sacrifice. Some products worked well, some were abysmal, but I always wondered if there was "something better" and would eventually move on from the latest greatest.  Then I found this product about a year ago.  I am finished looking for a better cream/soap/gel/foam.

Metrics: I shave in the shower, after I have washed my face.  I use a safety razor with Feather blades.  I sometimes use shaving oil, but only if I have more than 4 days of growth.  The cream is applied using a super badger brush.

First, the scent of this product only lasts about 10 minutes after shaving, so it isn't too perfumicatious.  The lather this produces is unbelievable.  My previous benchmarks were Proraso and the Art of Shaving, both great products that did the job.  This stuff is in a completely different realm.  You don't so much work the cream into the brush as much as just wave the shaving brush over the top of the tub once or twice, gathering up shaving  cream fumes.  That is all you need to produce more than enough lather.  I suspect backward engineered alien technology is in play here.

The quality of the resulting shave is beyond belief.  Nothing more to say about that.

Yeah, but what about the cost?  My first round of Trufitt & Hill lasted about a year.  No kidding.  A can of average foamy at your local store comes to about $3.50.  If that can lasts you 6 weeks, you will use about 8 of those in a year, equalling $28.  $28 for a year of horrible shaves, or spend about that same amount for a year of baby bottom skin with no irritation.  The choice is yours.
