So I have a funny story about the foot masks!  I applied the mask on Thursday night and left for a cruise on Saturday.  I was ready to give the masks a good review because my feet were noticeably softer after the mask treatment.  On Saturday evening (aboard the cruise ship), we sat in the hot tub for about an hour and then went back to our room.  When we got there, my daughter asked what was wrong with my feet.  I looked down and my feet were covered in peeling skin.  I had totally forgotten about the foot mask and the fact that it specifically tells you that all the dead skin will start to peel off in about 48 hours!  Well, let me tell you, that dead skin was peeling off, just like the instructions said!

So, now that I'm back from my cruise, my good review is now a great review!  After I got all the peeling dead skin off, my feet are extremely soft almost all over.  My heels are still a little rough but I didn't think one mask would take care of them because they were bad!  I'm planning on doing a second mask tonight and I think that will take care of that little problem area.

So here's my official review:

Pros:
Very easy to apply, simply put the mask on your foot and put a sock over it to hold it on.  I was still able to walk around and do what I needed to do while I had it on
Definitely works to get rid of dead skin!  You should have seen all the dead skin in that trash can in our cabin!  I wish I had taken a picture.

Cons:
The only con I had was the size of the mask.  I wear a size 10 ladies shoe and the masks just fit me.  I think anyone with a much bigger foot would have trouble getting it on and keeping it on

Overall, these masks worked great! I'm super excited to put the second application on and finish getting rid of the dead skin on my heels.  I've got to get my feet sandal ready!


First off I must say this is my first electric razor that I have owned.  I have been wet shaving for over 8 years now and tried an electric razor once before and hated it.  I first started looking at an electric razor as wet shaving seemed a drag, a waste of time and just a pain.  I have to be clean shaven for my job so I have to shave.  First I had to decide on a foil razor or rotary razor.  As I had such a horrible experience with the foil razor the time before when I used it I decided I defiantly did not want that type so I opted to try the Rotary razor and have been very well pleased.  Some things that drew me to purchase this razor were
 1.  You can use it in the shower.
  This to me seemed very convenient as I could shave as I'm getting showering which in my eyes saved some time from having to do the traditional way.
2. Applies Moisturizer while shaving
  This was another seller point for me as my face dries out very easily and I hated after wet shaving take more time to apply aftershave so to have a system that applies it while I'm shaving seemed like a bonus.

  The size of this unit is great it fits in my hand just right and is easy to grab.  The only complaint I have of the body itself is the charging prongs on the bottom back side of the razor stick out and can poke your hand while using the razor.  Another downfall with this razor is that it does not have a tray to collect the hair as it cuts it so at least in my experience I have to wash my face afterwards as to get the little hairs off of my face that it has just cut.
  One thing about this razor and I noticed other people complain about is that it does not do well as a dry razor.  In the instruction manual it actually says to wet your face before using it ultimately meaning it is not a dry shaver, but it does not take long to splash water on your face.
  So if your looking for a good razor that will apply moisturizer as you shave, that you can use in the shower and ultimately if you want a razor that does an excellent job (in my experience just as good as a wet shave) this is the razor for you!!


A loooong time ago, my new roommate in college was unpacking her things and out popped a can of Dr. Naylor's Udder Balm, which she set up on her dresser.  I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the distinctive red and yellow can caught my eye and I read what it said.  Udder balm?  What the heck do you use Udder Balm for???  Everything.  ?????  I began to wonder what kind of roommate I had.  Turns out her grandparents lived on a farm and it is used for chapped cow teats.  Yup, really.  They also used it for pretty much everything else.  Chapped, lips, irritated nose from a cold, scrapes and cuts.  The stuff is amazing.  When we left for winter break, I asked her to bring me back a can.  I still actually have that first can, dated 1982, because Udder Balm holds a special place in my heart.  Since then I have used it for all kinds of things with my family.  if you have a bad cold and have been blowing your nose a lot, you end up with a very sore, chapped and irritated nose that can take many days to heal.  A little Udder Balm before you go to sleep and the next morning the skin feels almost completely better. Same for chapped lips. I actually use it each night before I go to sleep and I can't even tell you the last time I had chapped lips,  Now, I will caution, on chapped skin it may sting at first, but that stops after about a minute or so. We dab some on the gauze side of a band-aid for cuts.  It's great for chapped hands.  If you are coloring your hair, you can use some around the hairline and ears to create a barrier and keep the dye from staining your skin.  There are many uses, and a little bit goes a long way.  I was a little disappointed when I got this from Amazon the first time because the ingredient list was different from the original can, and I was concerned it wouldn't work as well.  But it does, and I am thrilled.


My friends and I have been using Sonicare toothbrushes since our early 20s, and this has been our collective experience.

PROS:
-Once you use Sonicare it is hard to go back to a regular toothbrush.  You don't get the same "clean" feeling that you get from the vibrations.  You can feel the sonicare get between the grooves in your teeth where a regular toothbrush just feels like you're rubbing the top surfaces.
-There are always deals on this toothbrushes; mail-in-rebates, etc.
-Charge lasts for a long time.  I only charge mine every two weeks.
-I love the timer feature which lets you know you've been brushing for 30 seconds.  I usually brush longer than 2 minutes as well because it does feel like you're massaging your gums.

CONS:
-Somewhere between the base of the brush-head and where the handle meet is this hollow area.  It inevitably lets water, toothpaste, saliva etc. and collects in the nook (upper portion of the handle).
**This is how I have prevented this.  Always remove the brush-head from the handle and just put it on before you use it.  It takes less than 10 seconds so it's no big deal.  With this method you can just rinse the inside of the handle and the bottom of the brush head.
**Rinse the loose gunk out of it by running it under the sink and use Lysol or Clorox Wipes to clean the rest of the gunk from the handle if you don't use the above drying method.
**The Flex version which apparently doesn't do this but there is an added cost.
-I stick with this version because the brush-heads seem to be cheaper than the newer Flex models.
-There is no battery indicator.  If you lose track of when you charge it, it just might die on you out of nowhere, leaving you with a half-brushed mouth. So I often either use a back up toothbrush or manually brush with a Sonicare (although I think it ruins the bristles quicker that way).


I'm not a huge lip scrub lover due to the flavor or waxy feeling it leaves on my lips.. mainly the aftertaste.. for this reason I'm not even a huge lipstick girl since if any little bit ever gets inside my mouth it's nasty.. I've found this same thing with most lip scrubs.. mostly they smell nice but if any gets inside your mouth is gross or waxy.. most times the scent doesn't match the flavor & many times it is so rough it scratches my lips.. well this is definitely not the case with this lip scrub!!!!

I love Soaplicity products but this is one I'd not tried. With winter coming my lips are already dry & with a bit wind burn.. at times without even realizing it I rub my lips which can also cause irritation.. so I tried it.. it didn't further irritate already tender lips.. it was amazing.. I'll be purchasing this product in the future!

The jar is a nice compact size.. lid stayed closed & nothing leaked out from the lid.. YAY! The jar isn't huge but a great value.. trust me a little goes a long way!!!

The flavor/scent I chose was a pina colada.. one of my favorite scents.. which actually smelled like a sweet pina colada! The scrub was a nice, soft scrub that was super moisturizing but wasn't at all scratchy on my lips.. which is a huge bonus especially my lips were tender! Worked as promised.. I used it 1x & I could tell a difference.. it was perfect & I'm not a lip scrub girl!

Let's face it.. when something is on your lips.. the odds of even a little bit I of it getting into your mouth is likely.. or after it's on your lips like lipstick you lick your lips (again why I don't do lipstick)! This Pout Lip Scrub worked just as described.. I even took the challenge for licking your lips after... and the aftertaste flavor is a nice, sweet pina colada but not too sweet.. it's not waxy or oily but soaked in nicely.. it was simply lovely!


I'd been using a Norelco 5863 XL for years before this. When it finally kicked the bucket following an unfortunate water-immersion incident, I figured I'd go for its direct successor. Bad move. Norelco's manufacturing standards appear to have dropped precipitously over the last decade.

Here's what's wrong with this shaver:

1. It just doesn't shave as closely as its predecessor. Additionally, the springs on the floating heads seem to be a bit stiffer, or else the heads just don't fit together as well - the point is, instead of smoothly gliding from one position to another, the heads are noticeably popping into position as you shave. It's disconcerting.

2. The trimmer is just godawful. It's now spring-loaded, which is as convenient to open as the old one with a manual level, but comes with a really severe drawback - you can only use the trimmer by pulling down across your face, not by pushing up. If you try to push, the trimmer will just close, since you can no longer hold it open by holding you thumb on the level. I don't know about anyone else, but pulling is completely useless for me, thus making the trimmer useless as well.

3. The water-cleanable feature is a half-truth. Yes, you can rinse it out after use, but it still recommends you take it apart and clean with a brush once a month - exactly as frequently as the old non-water-cleanable model.

4. It feels like light cheap plastic [...] in your hand.

5. Sure the pictures on Amazon look ugly... but they really don't do it justice. This could very well be Darth Vader's shaver. If you've got a techno-dystopian theme going in your consumer electronics, then go for it... otherwise, you may want to reconsider.

Mine is currently en route to Norelco's returns facility (at my own expense, naturally), after which I will wait 6-8 weeks and hopefully get a refund. Sorry, but Amazon's staff recommendation of this shaver is just not warranted.


Okay so the product arrived quickly. The product DID have a smell when it arrived. Not THE normal smell synthetic hair has when you purchase it at a beauty supply store but it did have a scent. I can't identify what it is but it's not necessarily bad in my opinion. I braided my hair down, left some leave out and commenced to installing the hair as a crochet/latch hook style. I couldn't do the "invisible" crochet method in the areas I wanted it to blend better because the hair wouldn't comply and stay with the one knot. I just triple knotted it like I did the rest but used smaller sections of hair. After the full install i used my thinning shears to remove some of the bulk (I removed way more bulk than is shown in the pic. That was the bulk from the back section by itself) and i also cut about 4-6 inches off because 24" is more than i can tolerate when wearing weave. I attempted installing flexi-rods for a curly style but the left half curled beautifully and the right half just ended up wavy. It's user error because I started with the left half so the water was hotter and I didn't re-heat the pot of water on the stove before putting it in a cup to complete the right side. So I ended up brushing the curls out into waves so both sides matched. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase. I haven't applied low heat to it as of yet to see if it holds up but I've only had it in a couple days and have been focused on other things. 4 stars because of the unidentifiable scent. I'm posting some pictures so you can see it down and up. It blends very well with my hair (when my hair is straightened of course.) The color matched my jet black exactly. I hope this helps anyone that wants to buy from them! I will be purchasing again!


This is ONLY meant for GEL polish NOT for acrylic powder, dip powder, Poly gel, or builder gel. Why? I don’t know. I’m guessing whatever chemicals in it breakdown the gel polish won’t breakdown the acrylic powder, dip powder, Poly gel, or builder gel in the same way.

This works great! I have tried other gel polish remover before and they just don’t feel right on the nail. It’s hard to describe, but it’s just a weird feeling I get in my nail bed when I’ve applied them. I’ve been trying out different ones hoping to find one that doesn’t feel like that and works really well…I finally found one!

This is easy to use.
-USE NAIL FILE TO REMOVE TOP COAT. This step is important. A lot of people think this step isn’t necessary with a gel polish remover like this. That it’ll remove the top coat too. It might, I haven’t tried it. But, I’m guessing it wouldn’t do it as quickly and easily. Just take a nail file and lightly buff off the top coat. It doesn’t take much.
-Apply a thin coat of the gel polish remover just like you would any nail polish
-Let it sit for 3-8 minutes. It will start to crack/bubble.
-Take a cuticle pusher and use it to push off the nail polish. It should push off easily. You can always add another coat of the remover if it’s not fully off.

I found for me with 2 coats of gel polish on, it usually took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. So much easier than acetone or even a drill! As long as you remove the top coat by filing it off before applying this remover and give it time to work and soften the polish, it’s easy to scrape off!

As a side note, even though this says it’s not meant for acrylic powder, dip powder, builder gel, or Poly gels, I tried it with dip powder. It worked well but did take longer for it to crack/bubble and I had to do 2 coats of the remover. It also worked much better when it was a solid color dip powder and not a dip powder with glitter in it.


[[VIDEOID:1ed986b5dff229713ac6fd881c1dff23]] [[VIDEOID:d2a0a898388879de9727988eb42c74e8]] These brushes are super nice!  I can't believe how soft they are!  The bristles are velvety touch and they are so compact that they do not crush.  They glide along your skin softly.  I also notice that the product that I am using does not seem to seep into the brush but it sits atop the bristles.  Excellent since you dont lose any product to the depths of the brush itself.  I feel like I can use less product with the 10pcs Professional Oval Brush Set , Aoohe Multipurpose Toothbrush Makeup Brushes Set.  Now, this is a little different than the brushed I am used to using in the way the handle and the brush work.  You kind of need to learn new movements to get used to it but then I have been using pretty much the same style of brushes for a loooooong time so it feels a little awkward for me.  I like the 10pcs Professional Oval Brush Set , Aoohe Multipurpose Toothbrush Makeup Brushes Set enough to keep trying with them and eventually they will feel right in my hands.  I have sensitive skin and like to wash my brushes often and I followed the directions in with cleaning and the brushes cane out like new.  We will see what the test of time shows but I feel like these are a quality item and should last a long time with proper care.  We'll see - I will report back any issues. My daughters are checking the brushes out and I might get them for Christmas for them as they are that nice and definitely gift giving quality.  The  box they arrive in is niece and the whole item presents very well should you wish to use as a gift. I purchased thsi brush set at a discount and this is my honest opinion and experience having used the product.


As someone who used a Philips Sonicare toothbrush for 20 years until switching to an Oral-B toothbrush a couple years ago, I jumped at the opportunity to review this skin cleansing tool.

I have been using one of the original Clarisonics since 2009.  I use it every day and have come to love the brush.  Despite that it is now six years old, it is going strong.  I love it so much that I purchased the Mia 2s for my family in the past year.  (Clarisonic was bought by L'Oreal in 2011.)

This brush by Philips has some interesting innovations, but I am not so sure that they are an improvement over the Clarisonic:

1. Different shape: I didn't really notice any better performance or results with the cylindrical shape of the Philips PureRadiance.
2. Slower rotation: The Philips PureRadiance seems to have much lower RPMs.  I feel like my original Clarisonic is better in this respect.  Rather than the entire brush rotating like the Philips PureRadiance, only the inner ring of the Clarisonic rotates.
3. Charger: The Philips PureRadiance is not the easiest to fit into the charger base.  The original Clarisonic had a nice cradle and the new Mia 2s have a magnetic base that attaches easily to the brush handle. The Mia 2 has nice haptic feedback letting you know the brush is connected to the charger correctly.  The Philips PureRadiance base is so lightweight that I have easily knocked it over a couple times on the sink counter.

I really want to like this brush, but I don't think that it's any better than the Clarisonics.  If I were to buy a new one, I would go with the Clarisonic today.  The Philips PureRadiance is nice, but I think I still love my Clarisonic more.  (Just make sure you buy from an authorized retailer for full warranty coverage.)


I’m a sucker for a good brush set. It’s even better when it comes with case and a sponge!

So the case is very sturdy and feels well made. You can use it as a brush holder and you can use it store brushes. I am using the shorter half as a brush holder and find that it blends in nicely with my other holders.

Now I’ll do a brief breakdown of the brushes and sponge.

The lip brush is great and it blends in my lipsticks really nice.

There are three brushes for eyes- eyeshadow brush, blending brush and angled liner. I have tried these and they are very soft and work very well.

The powder brush is a bit smaller than I would personally like for powder. It’s not quite dense but in a brush that is used for powder products that’s okay. When I’m buffing in the powder I don’t want the brush to be too dense or it will move the foundation around. I’ve been using this brush for blush because of it’s smaller shape and it’s working great.

Now the final two- the foundation brush and the sponge. I decided to do half of my foundation with the brush on one side, and the other half with the sponge on the other side.

The foundation brush is a typical brush of it’s kind. It did not make the foundation look streaky and applied very smooth.

The sponge is the most interesting piece in this set. It doesn’t feel super soft like a Beauty Blender or a Real Techniques sponge. It feels like a softer stress ball and feels a bit rubbery. I’ve never had a sponge like this. I soaked the sponge in water and drained the excess as I would do with any sponge. It felt heavier but did seem to soften a bit and did expand in size. I dabbed the foundation on my face and pressed the sponge around to press the product in and I got a really smooth finish. The sponge did not seem to absorb much product.

Overall I think it’s a very nice set!

I purchased this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review. I did not get paid to do this review and my opinions are 100% honest.


First time ever doing this. I bought it for my daughters they couldn’t do it so I wanted to try it out for myself to see if I got ripped off. After trying it out I realized the reason they had trouble was bc they don’t have any nails to grip the fake nails to and they have the tiniest fingers which makes a difference. So I tried it out and I had a lot of trouble at first but once I got the hang of it it wasn’t hard. Tips i can give a newbie :
 1) use the nails they provide. At first I thought to speed it up I would just apply the gel to my nails and I never got length. So I did it the way it tells u to and it made a huge difference literally lol
2) to make it easier to spread the gel use rubbing alcohol. In a small bowl put some rubbing alcohol and before u apply the gel to the nail dip ur brush into the alcohol wipe some off then apply the gel onto the nail. That’s the slip it gives and makes it less thick and goopy to work with
3)bc the nail setter is not that many watts u will have to set it several times to get it to actually set. I did it at least 5-7 times but I guess it also depends on how much gel you use
Overall I think it’s not bad for a newbie and will def use again but I will buy a drill for next time. The drill will help with removing the gel later and makes it much easier when u have to fix mistakes One of the gel tubes did pop broke I don’t know if it was my error but but just something to add in this review. I loved the fact it came in a cute portable box to contain everything together. I would buy again but it was tricky to learn and u definitely need patience. The first 2 hours we’re trying to figure it out and I only finished my right hand. Once I got to my left hand forget it i lost my patience ( I was tired) and all the nails popped off. I gave up and tried the next morning and got it done in 45 minutes.


I have several X-tress/Soku wigs.

This is a machine made part. There is no lace to cut.
This is a Synthetic hair wig. It has beautiful luster.
No fake shiny
No odor
Cap is well constructed, no funky, no wefts showing, no wefts breaking, no tearing

In this particular " model" of X-tress as described
*** there is Zero Combs ***
I wear my wig grip with my wig cap and it is Good. No movement.
I am not worried at all. The cap is average, it is not considered small.
It isn't a cap swimming on my head.

 My measurement is 21.5 inches. My natural hair is close to the scalp, clipper Pixie.
Nothing in the way basically and this wig suits me perfect ( add wig grip and cap)

This #2 is with a darkest of brown cast. This how and why I love Soku / X-tress
they achieve natural color with their hair in tone and hue. I am never left with
a giant sigh .. why is it sooooo black, not once.

Not even with my " 1B" purchase. There is still a hue of darkest brown within the darkest of tones.

Nothing worse than a Witchy Halloween Black Root with an Ombre,
and or overt costume black for an everyday wig, it's unwearable.

I do not know anyone who has Over-dyed Crayola black hair do you?

The parting space has a small linear band like area, across that is alike lace front, a little over a centimetre.
This where you can do, if you chose to, use spray or gel, for extra security.
This wig has density. It is not thin. It may thin out towards the bottom.
However from scalp to 24 inches, You've got a lot of Hair. It's NOT WIGGY.
I have not altered this wig in any of the photos, other than the lopping off the length.
I did not use thinning shears on Her.

I use a Mannequin Head, I assess and then use my Wahl Clippers and lop off the bottom, slowly.
28 inches is great, you can then alter the wig to different lengths, before it's been loved too much, unable to wear.


First, I got into ethique for the environmental benefits.  I looked at my cosmetics and face care collection and it just hit my how much waste I am producing in the name of vanity.  I also don't really have the time to sit down and make my own home brewed recipes either.  Stumbled across the Ethique brand and it was like aaaaaaaaahhhh.  One single use plastic down.  This is on par with what I pay for my other serums, if not actually a little cheaper.  I was able to try it in the sample pack - DO IT THERE FIRST!!  This sadly will not be a serum for everyone.  I have really, really, really dry skin.  Just genetics.  I also work outside and play outside year round so my skin is abused.  I need very heavy moisturizers.  If you have oily skin, or even mixed, this may not work for you, or it would be best used as a once a week quench.  It takes some tinkering to find out the right amount to put on.  I screwed it up the first two nights and over did it.  Plus, since I was used it with the lotion, my face was slippery it was like teflon.  As someone else said, a little goes a long, long way.  Be patient.  I pinch of the tiniest amounts and as soon as it hits my face it melts and is able to be spread around.  Pinch and repeat.

I think this is the bees knees personally and will be using this.  I love how it travels.  I love I don't have to feel like a froufrou girl when I go into the backcountry with a serum.  Someone could certainly ask why I have so much soap... but whatever.  I hope they take another stab at this and make a lighter version for the girls that don't need to soak their faces.  Again, try the sample pack.  You get this, three facial soaps, and the lotion at a very fair price to try before you commit to the full size.  So if you hate it, you are still bound to find something you love.  And if you hate it and chuck, at least it's not another plastic bottle.


I am not an impulse buyer. So before I spend $$$ on a parfum, I did some extensive research. First, I knew I wanted to have a Tom Ford because of his reputation in making parfum. Then I narrowed down the choices to the 5 most preferred private blends by online reviewers. Then I bought .5ml sample for each. After trying them one by one, my husband made the choice for me: Noir de Noir, but my favorite is Amber Absolute.

Vanilla Tobacco is really sweet and nice, with straight forward vanilla tabacco notes. Vanilla is sweet and yummy. The tabacco smells like Turkish tobacco: sweet and sexy. I can imagine that whoever wears this could be quite irresistible. This is one of my favorite. However, compared to Noir de Noir, I feel that it lacks a bit complexity. It is a bit straight forward Vanilla and tobacco.

From my research and trial, I find that parfum is very personal, and you have to try it in person. It is better to try it at home and wear it once or twice before you buy it at a store. The 5 scents I tried:

- Noir de Noir: complex, sweet, lovely scent. Not overwhelmingly floral, not overpowering, and not sharp/edgy. This is my husband's favorite when I wear it.

- Vanilla Tobacco

- Amber Absolute: Unique, herbal. Stronger than Noir de Noir. Initially, I couldn't stand Amber Absolute. It smelled to me like Chinese medicine box. But then I am totally in love with it. It is very unusual. It has a very unique dried herb fragrance and very complex. It reminds me of the fragrance in the air in Big Sur, CA or Mono Lake, CA when the flowers and plants are drying in fall. The fragrance is not floral, not particularly sexy or feminine.

- Tuscan leather: couldn't stand it, very leathery.

- Neroli Portofino: didn't like it at all. Just like some reviewers said, it smells like Tide.


I've been using a corded version of the Braun Silk Epil for a few years now so I was super excited to try this cordless version. Truth be told, I haven't used the rotating brush head yet, but I LOVE the epilator! They've made so many improvements to the design since I received my last one. The unit charges pretty quickly. I didn't time it but it couldn't have been more than 20 minutes after plugging it in from completely dead that I found it fully recharged. The contour of the unit is also improved, and I love the changes to the on/off dial. It was very easy to accidentally slide the on/off switch on my older model, but this requires two fingers so you won't be accidentally turning it on or off when you don't intend to. The new contouring head is also fantastic. The older model did not pivot with the contour of your legs, but this one works perfectly. The rounded epilator head is protected by the pivoting frame so that when it meets your skin, it is always in the right position. I had jabbed myself a few times with the older model as I was getting used to it. Not painful, but annoying and not effective. It's impossible to do it wrong with this new pivoting head. Overall, I don't feel that it's less painful than previous versions (and underarm hair is still excruciating and I will not do it!) but if you keep up with it every couple of days the pain is extremely minimal. The worst will be when you've let the hair grow out for a while and then do it all at once, and even then it's bearable. I'm glad to see they removed the cold pack from this version because it never helped with the pain despite the claims that it would and the ice on my legs was more uncomfortable than the actual epilating. The weight is just right, not too heavy to fatigue your hands but not too light as to feel like you don't have precise control. And of course, my skin stays smoother longer and epilating removes a lot of the dark spots that are left behind with regular shaving of my very fair skin. Definitely worth picking up for first timers or if you have an older corded version!


Okay, so I have super long, thick hair, and managed to kill 2 Revlon blowdryers in one week!!! In all fairness, the second one was a worn out one that I replaced the first one for.  The first one is one of the highest-rated Revlon blowdryers on Amazon, and it lasted me less than 6 months.  I was super disappointed, so combed through customer reviews before deciding on this Xtava dryer.

First, it is super heavy-duty.  It is heavy.  My mom, who's in her mid-60's, specifically looks for lighter-weight hairdryers, because as she's lost strength with age and they hurt her arm.  This dryer initially did that to me.  It is NOT at all lightweight.  After a few weeks of use, I've gotten used to it, but I wasn't completely sold at first.  Also, I like dryers where the attachments fit into the dryer nozzle.  These slip-on to the end of the nozzle, and sometimes they slide right off, so that I don't like.  Also, I'm not soooo sure that it's as quiet as it claims, but who can really tell when it's right in your ear.

However, my hair does dry in a fairly normal time frame (I can't claim it dries super fast or anything, as some have) and while product and less-frequent washing probably helps, I've noticed my hair is very shiny these days.  Overall, I DO like this hairdryer and am happy with it.  I just hope this one lasts a significant amount of time, then I'll love it!

11/09/15 UPDATE:
Well...another one bites the dust.  In all fairness, I dropped the dryer about a foot and a half onto the carpet while using it, but that is apparently all it takes. I'm extraordinarily clumsy, but still super disappointed that it wasn't more tough. However, I do really love the dryer and would probably buy another if they were in stock.  They just need to make them a little tougher!


I change my nail polish often and have been concerned about the effects of acetone polish removers. I saw an Instagram video featuring Pure Body Naturals Nail Polish Remover and decided to try it. I am SO glad I did! This polish remover is unlike acetone and even unlike the typical non-acetone nail polish remover you can buy in stores. First of all, the fragrance is light and fresh - no chemical odor at all. It is similar in consistency to cuticle oil, so it actually made my nails and the surrounding skin feel hydrated instead of dried out. It doesn't evaporate like my acetone does, so a little goes a long way.

Instead of using it as directed (applying directly to the nail with the included dropper), I applied a half dropperful onto half a cotton ball. Then I applied the cotton ball to my nail and let is set about a minute. Then I rubbed the polish away as I would with acetone. Pure Body Naturals Nail Polish Remover takes a little longer than acetone to remove the polish but it is faster than the non-acetone polish remover purchased from a store. Best of all, since it doesn't evaporate, that half cotton ball lasted for all ten nails. My nails had a minimum of a high-adhesion base coat, two coats of nail polish, a holographic top coat, and a quick dry top coat (5 coats total). Four accent nails also had nail polish nail art designs that added another coat of polish (6 coats total). This product removed everything cleanly, with no trouble, very little time, and my nails felt amazing.

The bottle is 4 ounces, doesn't evaporate as I'm using it, and requires a small amount of product, I am confident that I am getting a good deal. Since it's all natural and non-chemical, those who are concerned about what they're saturating their nails and the surrounding skin with can put those worries aside. I will absolutely be repurchasing this product.

P.S. I paid full price for mine and my recommendation is entirely voluntary and unsolicited.


I have had tape-in extensions for several years and these are BY FAR the BEST replacement tapes I have used.  I only use Glam Seamless extension hair and these fit those pieces really well.  I love that these can easily be split in half because when I place my extensions I use a single piece and fold it in half, rather than sandwiching 2 pieces, to put less weight on my baby fine hair.

I have tried many types of replacement tapes including the "Super Blue", and in a pinch the super cheap (quality, not cost!) Satin Strands, and these far outshine them all.  With all other tapes I always lose 1-2 pieces every time I wash my hair (which is only 1x/week), and the rest slip a little with each wash.  So because of that I always put them in as close to the scalp as possible.  To my surprise, not only did I not lose any with this tape, they didn't slip at all, not even a little!  So I had nearly 2 weeks of my extensions remaining really tight to my head!  I almost pulled them out because they were getting uncomfortable, but I ended up sticking it out.

It has now been just about 6 weeks and I am going to pull them out and reset them within the week.  They still haven't slipped very much, and I still haven't lost a single one!  By this point with any other tape, half of them would have come out by now!  I could easily leave these in another month without much issue, but my baby fine hair knots easily when there is any outgrowth.

This tape is a little bit thicker than other tapes, which is likely why it holds so well.  When putting the two pieces together, really press down and squish them together to ensure there is a secure contact with both sides.  Then heat set the pieces between a hot iron on low for 5-10 seconds - this is not in the instructions but is recommended on the product's website, so I did it, and got really great results!

Because these have such a strong hold, I just ordered the C-22 solvent to remove them.  I normally use coconut oil, but suspected I might need something a bit more to remove these.  I will update my review once I remove them and share whether or not it was more difficult, compared to other tapes.


I want to believe in a world in which redemption is always possible. There should be no unforgivable sins; your better qualities should always offer the hope that your failings, however profound, can be overcome.

But this shaver fails in the single unforgivable way that an electronic device can: despite lots of bells and whistles, it doesn't do the one thing you purchase it to do.

I bought this to replace an older model Norelco wet/dry shaver that finally gave up the ghost. This razor offers some additional features my old one lacked: it's much lighter, holds a charge longer, and has a silly and totally unnecessary shave-goo-dispensing system built into it. I tried to find a wet/dry Norelco shaver with no "moisturizing system," but to no avail. If you want to shave in the shower, Norelco wants to insure you keep purchasing more shave gel cartridges. After reading some reviews that suggested the shaver worked perfectly well without it squirting glop everywhere, I was satisfied this was the right purchase.

Unfortunately, the shaver is unsatisfactory in one way: it just doesn't shave very well. I've used it on my face and head, with and without moisturizer, wet and dry, and its shave is pretty lousy. My old Norelco provided a shave that was very smooth and comparable to a blade; with this model, there's noticeable beard fuzz left behind immediately after I shave, and by the end of the day, I look like I forgot to shave at all that morning. When I found myself going back over my face with a regular razor right after I used the 8040X, I knew this shaver had to go. I would like to believe that its lightweight, comfortable form and good battery life could redeem it, but sadly, its transgression is too profound. I may not be able to forgive it, but I'm pretty sure I'll forget I ever owned it before long.


I am very happy with this extension kit!  I was initially a little worried based on the fact that it only had 2 1/2 stars when I made my purchase, but as long as you read the description it's VERY clear about what you're receiving.

These are *synthetic* feathers.  They aren't meant to look like rooster feathers (as are some hair extensions) and are more like pieces of dyed hair.  Think of a Halloween wig, that's pretty much the quality you're receiving here.

That being said: You can ABSOLUTELY curl AND flat iron these puppies, however, I would HIGHLY recommend only doing so on the lowest setting!  They can be washed and dried just like normal hair, just make sure you don't tug at them too hard when brushing your hair.  The beads that these come with have silicone on the inside so they will grip well.

How to install:
(See the pictures in my review)
* Slide the bead onto the latch hook (I used a blond bead for my pictures, however, use the bead color that most closely matches your hair)
* Take a small section of hair (about 1/2 of the width of one of these extensions)
* Latch the hair and slide the bead onto your hair (this can take a little getting used to, I would recommend using a bit of hairspray on the secton you grabbed and also twisting the hair first)
* Slide the end of the extension into your bead with your hair
* Use the provided pliers to pinch it shut
* Done!

How to remove:
* You may need help with this one.  Simply put the pliers around the outside of the bead (length wise) and pinch it so it forces the bead open then just slide it out, done!

What's included in the kit:
* Synthetic, dyed hair "feathers" (52 pieces)
* 100 beads (half are blond, half are brown, no black)
* Pliers
* Latch hook


After a LOT of research and comparison I purchased the entire 7-piece Collection from this company.  Along with the other 6 remarkable products that came with the Collection was this one--AquaTica Organic Botanical Night Cream with Caviar Extract.

I am going to plagiarize another reviewer by saying that you will “wake up with a new face”!  I don’t think I can say it as well as that, but I will try:  For what you get this product is incredibly affordable.  The ingredients include a wonderful blend of oils and extracts.  I am 60 years old so AquaTica’s ability to provide superior moisturizing and protection is important to me.  It has many super-effective ingredients that help support and "cradle" my skin throughout the night.  It has been said that it has a sort of “thick water” texture and this is actually a pretty accurate description!  As a footnote, I use this cream along with Sweetsation’s “Geneylesse Advanced Lifting & Firming Night Recovery Complex” which I have raved about on its product page.

Imagine your face being enveloped with a subtle, water-filled “layer” that not only remains softly on the skin but also penetrates the skin. After applying it I could not resist touching my cheek.  I immediately thought of a cocoon-like protection.  I was truly surprised by how good it felt on my skin.  And it does much more than just moisturize and protect—it also helps to even out your skin tone and gently exfoliate it.  You don’t need a lot of it to cover both your face & neck.

AquaTica absolutely deserves the high rating it has.  It is a super night treatment for all skin types.  It can even be used safely during pregnancy. But it is really fantastic on my dry, mature skin.  In summary, I love this product and I love the company. If you are looking for a way to pamper your skin while you are sleeping… this is it!  I don t care how discerning you are, this product will impress you.


This is interesting! I’ve never seen a primer that comes with a brush built in like this! You push the bottom and 3 dots come out onto the brush. How I apply my primer usually depends on the primer I use. There’s some I use that I apply with my fingers to help melt the product into my skin and really press it into my skin. There’s some I apply with a brush to really spread it out. A while ago I watched a video from a well known makeup artist. He said that if you want to hide your pores, you can use a brush and basically press the product INTO the pores. Yes, your occluding the pore by using the bristles on the brush to put product INTO the pores, rather than just going over the pores, but if you wash your face well at the end of the day it shouldn’t be an issue. He said when you take the brush, you use the bristles to push the product into the pores, which fills them, and leads to an even base. If you use a product that just kind of layers over the pores, they aren’t filled, they just have a layer over them. A lot of times just having a layer over them works. It creates a smooth layer to put your base on. But, throughout the day the layer kind of breaks down and you end up with your pores showing. If you had actually put product into the pores, then they would continue to be filled and leave you looking smooth all day. So, ever since then I try to use a brush when applying product where I want my pores filled. So, this coming with a built in brush was perfect!

The brush is soft. It isn’t rough or scratchy. With 1 push giving 3 dots of product onto the brush I have enough product for everywhere I want to use it.

It makes my skin nice and smooth, so I have a smooth base to apply my foundation on.

Overall, I think this is a great primer! It fills in fine lines and pores. The built in brush really helps with that. And foundation goes over it great!


I'm in my late-20s and was looking to start a preventative care/anti-wrinkle regimen. I'm not very wrinkly yet... but have noticed some slight crepe-yness/very fine lines under my eyes, possibly from inserting/removing my contacts everyday and stretching my eyes out. I've also noticed some slight lines forming on my left forehead, and some frown/smile lines around my mouth/chin which I'd like to prevent from becoming more noticeable. I have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) which is prone to breakouts so I normally do not apply any moisturizer to these areas of my face. But this cream has different ingredients than my usual average face lotions so I decided to give it a go, and applied this cream even to the oily zones of my face. It did not cause me to break out, and did not increase how greasy these areas became throughout the day. I've been using this cream 2x/daily for a little less than a month now and I actually think it helped improve the condition of my skin in these problem areas. My forehead and chin have slightly fewer breakouts, and just seem smoother in appearance (tone, color, less random blotchiness). The fine lines under my eyes are still there, but do seem to diminish whenever I apply this cream--it seems to fill in the lines temporarily and the cream moisturizes the dry skin so it looks smoother and is less visible. This moisturizer has a great non-greasy texture. It comes out feeling just rich & creamy enough, and then my skin just drinks it all up, feeling soft, light, and moisturized. It barely has a smell at all, and the tiny bit of fragrance fades almost immediately.<br />Overall, I do like this face cream since I have noticed a slight improvement in my skin in less than 1 month. I wouldn't consider it a MIRACLE cream since I have had experiences with very expensive (out of my usual budget-type expensive) creams/serums that DID deliver more noticeable results. But for this price point, and the slight results I have noticed, I would recommend this to someone with similar skin problems as me. And I would also consider buying this again.


I had been happily using Sonicare for about seven years.  I read positive reviews about Oral B and decided to try it.  A key reason I decided to try the Oral B is that I had to unscrew the brush head of the Sonicare once a week and clean the gunk out of it.  I hated doing this and often needed a cotton swab to clean the gunk out of the inside of the brush head.

In contrast, the Oral B is much easier to clean.  After each brushing I just pull the bush head off and rinse it off and wipe everything off with a towel.  It takes less than a minute and the toothbrush is always clean.  The Sonicare takes much longer to clean and the process is less pleasant.

But how does the Oral B clean?  The smaller brush head of the Oral B makes it easier to clean my back teeth and they are cleaner than they were with the Sonicare.  For my front teeth the two products are comparable.

If you want to take the charger with you when you travel the Sonicare charger is smaller than the Oral B charger.  But for trips of a week or two taking the charger just isn't necessary.

They both have 2 minute timers that prompt you to switch to different quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds.  The Sonicare shuts off after 2 minutes but the Oral B signals that 2 minutes are up but keeps going in case you want to go for extra credit by brushing more than 2 minutes.  I just shut it off after 2 minutes.  I prefer the Sonicare approach on the timer but it's not a big issue for me.

After 2 minutes, the Oral B leaves my teeth -- front and back -- squeaky clean and the brush and handle are easy to keep clean, which is nice considering that this is a tool that you put in your mouth. There is also a device to attach to clean your tongue which seems to work well.

I'm glad I switched from Sonicare and wouldn't go back.  The Oral B leaves my mouth cleaner and is easier to maintain.


Not all Obagi products are made at the same place -- but i found out that this formula is made by one of the top skincare labs in the US--one that manufactures high-end dermatologist and clinical skincare brands on the market today. So knowing this, i knew there would be *some* efficacy to this product. I actually LIKE that ingredients are straightforward and not full of fluff:

Water (Aqua), Dipropylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol, Caffeine, Malonic Acid, Zinc Carbonate, Arginine, Laureth-9, Copper Carbonate Hydroxide, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin

To be honest--if you're looking to reduce eye puffiness and dark circles, this won't do much.  If found no visible evidence of that in my use. BUT--it's really good at minimizing fine lines, plumping up the skin, and returning elasticity to the skin. That's why it's called "Elasti-derm", to help coax the skin into being more hydrated, refined, and pliant, thus reducing the signs of lines. Obagi's main active to do that is malonic acid, and I give a big thumbs up to the addition of arginine-- a powerful delivery vehicle to help drive the malonic acid further into the skin for more efficacy. As many in the skincare industry know, anything with arginine helps make the active ingredient even more "active".

The stainless steel ball is not just a "feel good" gimmick -- it actually helps to massage this serum into the delicate eye skin, further pushing the ingredients into the dermis. After using an entire bottle of this product, i definitely experienced a reduction in the signs of my fine lines. the skin was plumped up and the lines less visible, plus the texture more refined. Used in conjunction with a good eye cream and alternating with Vitamin C serum, this is a great addition to any anti-aging regimen. I would surely purchase again.

I take off one star because I do not like the plastic packaging, as glass is the safest material for stability, and plastic has a tendency to shorten the shelf life of a formula. Plus plastics are not as safe we think.


Where have you been all my life??? I had looked at purchasing a product like this before as I have noticed some wrinkles forming on my chest (due to being a side sleeper)... I thought to myself, how could a product like this actually work??? I was a big skeptical until I just decided to give it a try... I read all the great reviews on these chest pads so I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did... These pads are an ingenious creative masterpiece that still mystifies my skeptical nature... The first night I used it I washed my chest with foaming antibacterial soap and allowed to completely dry... I peeled it off the plastic wrapper and placed it on my chest and applied pressure to the pad with both hands to make sure I had a good seal...  I was amazed at how it stayed in place and that it did not irritate my skin whatsoever... I slept with it on for over 8 hours and when I woke up that first morning after, I was in utter amazement on how young my chest skin appeared... The wrinkles that I had noticed where "G-O-N-E"... I immediately thought to myself, this is a miracle... I am kicking myself now because I waited so long to actually try this type of product... This a great price for 2, and they work amazingly... Washing it for the first time is what sold me completely on this product... This would be the moment of truth (for me) to see if the product was as good as it says it is...  I was baffled that it functioned just as well after washing it as it did when I used it for the first time... I have not missed a night using this product... I will be buying a package a month from now on, as I will never be without these wrinkle blasters... EVER... I will have a stock pile of these baby's on hand at all times... I've been shouting from the roof tops to all my friends about this product!!! These are a must have for every woman out there...


I have long, fine, thinning hair that's oily near the scalp and dry at the ends.  It's naturally a bit wavy. I prefer to let it air dry so as not to subject it to heat and dry it out even more, but that inevitably turns my waves into a frizzy mess - especially on humid days.

This product is on the thicker side of other conditioners I've tried.  I've used it twice now, six days apart, each time leaving it on for at least five minutes.  It goes on easily and smells nice.  It's easy to rinse out.  The first time I air-dried like usual and then gently combed it out.  My hair was extra-soft and unusually shiny.  I still had to hit it with a heat comb, but it wasn't nearly as frizzy as usual - so this stuff does work!  However, as soon as the next day, the frizz started coming back, and by day four it was just as frizzy as ever.  The second time I used it, I dried my hair on low heat with a dryer brush.  Once again, my hair was soft and shiny and looked great at first.  It even looked good n day two!  I wash my hair every other day, though, and after that first post-treatment wash it was nearly back to normal.  After the second post-treatment wash, the frizz was back like usual.

If my hair stayed looking like it does after this product has been applied, I'd give it a five-star rating hands down.  But the benefits (so far) don't seem to stick around very long and, for the price, they're going to need to last longer than 24-48 hours if I'm only to use this once a week.  But maybe it's something that improves over time.  I'll keep using it and will update the review if I find that to be the case.


This is my first extraction/blemish remover set, so being a first timer I am not so skilled, however this requires little skill to be useful. It is straight to the point!

I like the case that the tool kit comes in, and there is a great selection for whatever removal needs pop up, also the tools are sturdy, they seem strong like they will last and do the job without worry of breaking. I am a picker, anytime anything appears on my face so this is my go to for any unsightly blemish. So far, there has been the right tool for any type removal, however I have not yet had to use all of the tools (which is probably a good thing, right?) It has been really great for getting those harder to reach places like the sides of my nose , and now I no longer use my fingers or nails to squeeze pimples or blemishes, so I like that my hands are not touching my face for this, and it just seems much more effective and sanitary.

I get dirty clogged pores along my nose forehead and cheeks, so I thought this would be great to clean out these areas in-between and when face masks and cleaners don't do the job completely. Like I said this tool set is great...for most areas, except for along the top of the nose, I mean its an awkward area for a tool to extract from anyhow, but I thought it would help or work better than it does (could be operator error). Also, it can be painful in some of the more sensitive areas, but I think that is part of the removal deal.

Another thing to consider is, if you are like me, you may get so into it that you start looking for things to extract! The first day I had it my face was all red from scraping everything I could. My face was squeaky clean after, but I went looking for more when there was none and ended up creating more of a problem than solving it. No big deal, I just need to have some restraint!

Overall I am happy with this set, and would recommend this for sure for anyone interested in an extraction tool kit. I received a discount on this for
my opinion and review


I love trying new skincare products so when I saw this Tula Advanced Neck Cream with probiotic technology I was anxious to give it a try.  I have tried several products from the Tula line and I am quite impressed with all of them.

This Tula neck cream is a balm like cream that is very thick and creamy.  Even though this neck cream is thick, it quickly absorbs into the skin and does not leave a greasy or tacky feel.  I have been using this neck cream twice a day since receiving it.  Since using this neck cream my neck and décolletage have a firmer appearance.  My neck lines have seemed to lessen in appearance, and the skin texture of my neck and décolletage has also improved.  I can hardly wait to see what my results will be after a month or two of continued use of this neck cream.

This neck cream contains omega 3/6 essential fatty acids, rice proteins, vitamins A, C, and E, and fruit extracts.  It also contains a complex that includes yogurt extract, green tea extract, and blueberry extract, as well as plant derived squalane, which come from the olive tree.  This product also contains retinol and peptides which help improve the appearance of the signs of aging.

Overall, I am truly impressed with this Tula Advanced Neck Cream and it will be a product that I will continue to use in my skincare regimen to help combat the signs of aging.  This is truly a great product and I highly recommend giving it a try.  Additionally, this company offers a 30-day money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the product.

I received this product at a discount for an honest opinion.  My opinions are my own and I stand by them 100 percent.  I shop on Amazon frequently and I rely on the customer reviews to make an informed buying decision so my reviews will always be honest and unbiased regardless of whether or not I receive a product at a discount or not.  I hope this review was helpful.


Honestly if you worked with synthetic hair before, you will know this hair isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst. It falls right in the middle. I ordered 14 packs of hair from this vendor- a 7pack of 14 inches and a 7 pack of 18 inches. I had planned to do the extended loc style that’s trending right now. I specifically wanted straight locks so this vendor was one of the few on Amazon who had straight locks with no kind of curl which is why I ordered from them. I managed to do 80% of my hair but now I need about two packs of each to finish the look because I don’t have enough strands to make the hair look really full (when trying the style out some of the strands unraveled on me). This vendor would not work with me and let me buy four packs of hair instead of ordering seven. I wouldn’t have been upset if they told me I would still have to purchase seven and pay for the full 7 but I can still pick whatever inches I need it but they just flat out refused to budge. Customer service is knowing that sometimes your customers might need additional or custom assistance. I can’t just order one pack of hair from other vendors on here because I specifically ordered from this vendor  because they had straight hair. So if you plan on purchasing this hair, don’t make any mistakes because this company will not work with you or let you buy an individual pack or customize your own lengths of hair. If you are someone who needs individual packs of straight hair because maybe you need it for maintenance, to fill in the spots, to make your hair look full, just go to Aliexpress because they care about customer service there. They don’t individually packed their hair anyways you get all seven bundles in *ONE* big bag so it’s not like they cannot put three packs of 14 and four packs of 18 in one bag because they don’t individually package their bundles. Thank you for talking yourself out of a customer. I won’t purchase from them again.


My mom turned 82 in March.  She is extremely active for her age.  Before the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020, she would go grocery shopping once a week.  During the pandemic, she went as often as three times in one week.  She was always concerned about us not having enough to eat.  Mom, who is vain, also wears a lot of makeup to conceal her true age.  Therefore, she was excited to obtain the 7.8 fluid ounce bottle of Biore' Makeup Remover.  It is a clear oil with a very pleasant scent.  Mom has been using it for two weeks.  She told me that a little goes a very long way.  She gently rubs the oil on her fingertips and then rubs her fingertips all over her face.  Using a Kleenex, she carefully rubs off the makeup and Biore.  She does not like splashing water on her face for fear of splashing water, makeup, and Biore all over the bathroom sink.  She is very OCD about keeping her bathroom and entire house clean.

  The Biore efficiently and safely removes Mom's thickly layered makeup.  She hasn't experienced any ill side effects or allergic reactions from using the Biore.  Her skin is oily like mine.  We don't wrinkle easily.  Both of us look very young for our ages.  Also, I would like to point out that the plastic bottle of Biore arrived with a protector around the nozzle and pump, which is very nice.  The hard plastic protector is transparent.  It easily slips on and off the pump, making it highly reusable.  It protected the Biore against tampering and accidental spillage during shipping.  (The protector covers the nozzle's opening and prevents the pump from operating.)  I highly recommend not throwing the protector away; you may want to do some travelling and take this attractive pink bottle of Biore with you.  My mom and I both recommend the Biore Makeup Remover for removing the thickest layers of makeup.


I wanted to use this product before writing a review.  So here it is...

Product arrived 3 days after I ordered even with standard free shipping ( I do not have amazon prime so no 2 day free shipping for me!)

The first time using this product I wetted my face then I massaged in an amount of the product about the size of a quarter for about 1-2 minutes.. It felt thin and it also tangled instantly. I will admit the thin part worried me at first..
After massaging it in I let it sit on my face for a few minutes then I washed off the product with lukewarm water then once I had no more face wash on my face I splashed ice cold water to close my pores ( I have cystic acne and massive clogged pores) once I patted my face dry I applied a 2.5% retinol lotion.

That was day 1 couldn't really say much but I felt nice and clean, so jumping forward about 2 weeks.

I noticed I started to massively break out. I knew this was positive believe it or not. All my pores were cleaning themselves by pushing the gunk out.  As hideous as I felt I have continued  using this product and I am glad I did!! I use to have bumps all over my face.... small annoying bumps everywhere...and don't forget a cyst here or there, and the white and blackheads galore... I  am 26 years old and let's just say I was very depressed over my skin issues!! As of now the bumps are not as high and I have a quarter of the ones that I had before! I did notice my skin was drying out but the retinol face lotion works amazing as long as u remember to use it!

I will be purchasing this face wash from here on out. The price concerned me but now it just makes sense cause it actually works.

So if you try this and u notice you are breaking out more than a usual, just give it a little time like I did.  It is so nice to finally find a product that actually works!!


I purchased this pack of ponytail holders which includes 3 sets/types of holders in a variety of colors.  I received scrunchies which are not really my style but are nice and come in good neutral colors and two different thicknesses of hairbands.  I typically use these when getting ready in the morning, to separate my hair into layers when straitening and also when I go to the pool or beach, as well as when I am at the gym.  I appreciated that there were different thicknesses depending on how strong a hold you needed.

 I have thin hair and I found the thinnest bands seemed to hold best without pulling on my hair.  I used them at the gym and found that they held up well through my workout.  Like any band they stretch a little over time which I actually prefer because they adjust to fit your hair the best.  Eventually as like with all ponytail holders I have used these seem like they may stretch out too much over time but they were durable and I didn't have an issue in the few weeks I have used so far so I don't think there is a longevity issue.

The one thing I did not like about these holders is that they have a plastic piece at the connection of the band.  To me this was the only but important con and the reason I probably wouldn't switch brands.  However, this is not unique to this brand and if that doesn't bother you these are a great option.  They come in a variety of colors and were of good quality.  If anything this piece will probably help them last longer but for me I have worries about hair snagging.  Although I will still continue to use the ones I have it is not my first choice.  I think if you are careful while using them there wouldn't be an issue.

Other reviewers have covered just about everything that I would have to say, so let me just add a "me, too" to what I consider to be the most important points.

1)  Very, very comfortable shave, the most comfortable I've ever had.  (I will qualify that by saying that this is the first electric shaver I've used in the shower, so as far as that type of shaving goes, my experience is limited.)  It's not as close as a blade -- almost, but not quite.

2)  It's very easy to clean, charges fast, and holds a charge for a pretty good length of time (probably about 45 minutes or so of shaving time).

3)  The gel and lotion packs are a neat idea and are very convenient, but they are exceptionally pricey.  They're about $1.25 each, and they last only about a week.  I do use them when I travel for the convenience, but at home, I use regular shaving gel, and I encourage you to try the same.  It saves a lot of money.

4)  As with any new shaving technique, you will need to experiment a bit to find out what works at what doesn't as far as direction of motion, amount of pressure, and the like.  They do say in the manual that you should give it three weeks, so if you don't like it at first, give it some time and try different shaving methods.

5)  I've never actually dropped mine, so I can't confirm or deny whether it breaks as easily as others have said it does, but the shaver does look a little delicate, so being careful is probably prudent.

6)  I don't use the trimmer, either, but I can see how having to change the attachment would be annoying, as others have reported.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the shaver.  It makes shaving easy, convenient, and even fun -- so much so that, for the first time since I started shaving over twenty years ago, I'm actually shaving every day.  For me, that says more about the shaver than anything else could.


I recently had a facial and they used a sheet mask and used face globes on top of the sheet mask for a massage. It felt so amazing as soon as I returned home I decided I was on the hunt for a pair for myself. I am sure they used a more expensive pair as a professional place, but I wanted something cheap. I searched and saw lots of reviews for glass globes that broke or shattered, which seems scary to me. That is why I decided to go with a metal pair and ordered these.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
These come in a nice little box but there is no case for them other than that. I do wish they came with a little storage case so I could place it all in the fridge and keep them clean, but I just threw them in a sandwich bag and it will work just fine. I placed them in the fridge (I have no desire to use them in the freezer as I think that would be too cold for comfort). There is a warning on the package that says not to leave them in the "fridge" for more than 20 min, but I think they meant to say "freezer" so that they don't burst or something from freezing. I have had mine in the fridge since I got them and other than the time I used them so far, they have stayed in there and they are fine. I washed them with a little soap when they first arrived just to make sure they were clean before applying anywhere near my face, but they appeared to be clean right out of the box.

PERFORMANCE
I removed them from the fridge and used them on my sheet mask for about 25 minutes and they remained nice and chilly. I am sure you can use them to apply serums or lotions but I don't think I would enjoy direct contact with the metal even at room temperature, not sure why but maybe I'll try it in the future. The feeling when running them over the sheet mask on your face though... so relaxing! I do wish they were a bit smaller, because the larger size makes it basically impossible to run them across my undereye area which I think would be so nice. The rubber pads are nice and keep them comfortable to hold.

OVERALL
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend these particular face globes for several reasons. They stay cold for a long time, they are low cost, and they feel safe being that they are metal.


This is my first time trying a skincare product from Jericho Cosmetics. According to the product descriptions, this special blend of eye cream is formulated with minerals from the Dead Sea, Olive Oil, and plant extracts. This new improved eye cream not only smooths the delicate tissue around the eyes and protects the skin from dryness, it also helps maintain the skin's elasticity and youthful appearance. I was intrigued but skeptical of the claims. Regardless, I have decided to give it a try and I am glad that I did. The first thing that caught my eyes was this beautiful and elegant glass container carefully and securely packaged inside of a professionally designed box with a thoughtful scooper. From the way it presents itself, it tells me that this company is dedicated to their products and I feel assured I am making the right decision. Nevertheless, one dab is enough for both eyes, so I am very happy with the size of this 1.7 ounces jar because it will last for quite a while and it also makes this product valuable and affordable. It also has a light scent which goes away immediately after it dries. The smells is pleasant in my opinion.

This eye cream is deliciously creamy and luxurious, but it absorbs completely and leaves no trace of oily or sticky residue. The skin under my eyes feels silky soft and my makeup goes on perfectly. It spreads on smoothly and immediately softens my skin. The effect is very different from my other regular eye creams. It has actually left me impressed after only one week. I have noticed my dark circles have gotten lighter, they have not disappeared entirely, yet they are much lighter and the skin around my eyes does not seem as tired as it was a few weeks ago. My skin under the eyes appears smoother and hydrated. I also feel like my whole eye area has tightened up a bit and I look much more awake now. The difference is subtle, but I am hoping it will improve the results with longer term of usage. My eyes are not as puffy and that is a much more noticeable difference. This cream comes in a gorgeous jar making it look much more expensive than what it actually is, yet it works much better than many other expensive brands I have purchased in the past. I am very pleased with the results and will highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good eye cream to help with puffiness and dark circles.

Disclosure: I purchased this eye cream at a discount for my honest and unbiased review.


I got this for the hubby since he has decided he needed to wear a beard year round.  He normally just washed his beard with his regular body  wash but was told by friends that was why his skin was drying out and flaking under the beard.

The shampoo has the manly scent or that is what I call it.  It is outdoorsy, woodsy smell with a hint of pine to me.  It doesn't linger around.  My hubby says since he started using this shampoo is beard isn't as itchy and it isn't flaking.  He also uses the oils this company offers after shampooing.  Their products are good and so far have been great for the hubbys beard and skin.  His beard is more manageable with less fly away hairs.  It is soft and not wiry like it used to be.

If a beard can shine I will say that it appears his does since he started this product.  Even without the beard oil applied his beard has a healthy shine.  Not a greasy look just a healthy look.  It makes sense that a man would use all the products offered for a beard when we all use different hair products to get our hair to do the things we want it to.  My hubby says he will always use products for his beard and the beardsmen spirit company I s the one he will continue to use.

He likes the fact their products are made with natural oils and they do not have loud fragrances.  If your looking for a great beard product give the beardsmen spirit products a try.  They sure have helped my hubby's.  He had the itchy flaky skin and the beard that wanted to lay in all directions before he started using this product along with the oils they offer. **** I received this product at a discount for a honest and unbiased review. The words are my own and the opinion is that of the hubby who used the product.  He says the product is a game changer. Lol. That is a man for you always throwing a game in the mix.


These are very easy to wear, and comfortable.  They should eliminate ear irritation and abrasions due to pressure and rubbing by mask ear loops.

I keep my index fingers on the buttons as I pull the headband into place, and haven't needed to adjust the positioning after putting it where it looks best.  When I loop the mask's ear elastics over the buttons, my mask stays in the right position, and has less slack at the sides, which is a win-win.

It might be helpful for some, since nobody seems to be explaining this to the general population, to have some tips about how nurses (are taught to) put facial masks on so that they'll stay where they're meant to.  Hold the mask up to your face, lining (generally white) side toward you, and with the long edge with the nose strip (some just feel a little stiffer on one edge than the other) toward the top.  Place the mask against your face, centered, with the top at the bridge of your nose.  Hold it there as you mold that strip closely over your nose, and against your cheekbones (to the extent that you can).  Keep holding it there with one hand, while you use the other to pull down on the lower edge, so that it goes down below your chin (or to, if it won't go below – when you can, you'll want a longer, better fitting mask, which will stay there).  Still holding the mask in place over your face, use the other hand to either put the ear loops in place (in this case) over the buttons on the headband.  Using this headband, and putting the earloops over the buttons will also help keep the mask up over your nose, where it belongs if it's going to provide the best protection, since germs won't have as easy a time getting around the sides as you breathe.

Before receiving Jane & Co.'s Roller and Gua Sha, I had never really used anything like it on my skin before. For me, it was simply wash, dry, moisturize and occasionally use makeup.

The roller and Gua Sha that I received is supposedly made of Jade. To me, it looked more like New Zealand Nephrite or even Aventurine. The packaging and product are nicely done, complete with a handwritten note from the proprietress of Jane & Co.

There is a small pamphlet with a set of instructions that includes a contact number where you can send a text to receive a complete guide on how to use both the roller and the Gua Sha. Instantly, you are given a URl to download the free eBook to go with the product.

To use either the roller or Gua Sha you simply chill the implements in the refrigerator or freezer.  This  extra coolness helps to shrink the pores and ease any puffiness that might be present.

Wash your face as normal to avoid pushing any dirt or impurities in your skin with the roller. Dry your face and apply a moisturizing oil such as coconut oil, jojoba, or argan oil which are particularly nourishing to the skin.

Take your now-cool roller and roll over your face, from the center outward. The included instructions suggest to pay particular attention to the area around the nose and under the eyes to aid in the draining and circulation of the lymph glands in those areas.

To use the Gua Sha, again, cleanse the face, and moisturize with an oil that is beneficial for the skin. Never, Never NEVER use mineral oil on the face (or anywhere else on the body for that matter).

Using moderate yet firm pressure in a gentle scraping motion to ease out tension from the face.  I confess I haven't quite gotten the hang of the Gua Sha yet, but I am still working on it. The coolness of these facial tools feels excellent on my skin and it definitely is a relaxing practice to get into regularly.


Great travel accessory at an affordable price!  I purchased this kit for a weekend backpacking trip that I will be taking in a few weeks to Havasupai falls in Arizona.  I'm not flying so it doesn't matter to me that these are airport or tsa safe but it's very important that they are lightweight.  The plastic bag that it comes in is also cute and will come in handy.  I searched through quite a few of these types of kits and I couldn't find any that have the small twist off containers.  I need them because with hiking over 30 miles in a weekend, I expect to have soreness so I need a smaller container to put a muscle pain relief cream in.  These ones seemed perfect!  Once I ordered, the kit came in 2 days, thanks to amazon prime.  So if you don't have it already, sign up!  The packaging was perfect, they even put something inside that would keep it from being bent or damaged during the shipping process.  I had no issues with shipping or damage.  The bag is cute and the perfect size for all of my travel accessories, the containers are perfect and work great.  I put shampoo and conditioner in the taller containers and I put an essential oil bug spray mix in one of the spray bottles.  it works great, no issues with the spray at all.  it even works for the essential oil mix / coconut oil.  I'm not sure what I will use the other spray bottle for, maybe just an eucalyptus and water spray to keep refreshened during the hikes.  I would highly recommend this kit to anyone who may be in the market for one or anyone who will be traveling by airplane or backpacking and needs something small and lightweight.  this kit is perfect!  I did receive it at a discounted rate in return for an honest and unbiased review but this in no way affected my rating or review in any way.


UPDATE: Now that the weather has gotten warmer, this really does not work for me at all. I do not recommend it on any level. The price point is really ridiculous for the quality. Don't waste your dollars.

Power: Lasts the day for me (as in from morning to night, not 24 hours) -- note that I am not very sweaty person and do not have a bad issue with body odor, so it isn't that impressive. So, it is better than some of the other natural deodorants for sure, but it is not magic or super powerful and I cannot imagine that it would last someone 48 or 72 hours. I only used it on pits so that is what I am referring to.

Scent: The scent is where this loses a lot of points for me. It just does not smell good. It is not so bad that I will not continue to use it up, but it is a definite down side.

Consistency: This comes in a traditional deodorant dispenser, yet it is a cream that pops up through three holes. You have no choice but to rub it in like lotion, and the amount that comes out of the 3 holes all at once is too much. I only need 2 because I only use it for pits only. As far as putting it on, it does rub right in and then it does not feel like you have anything on you. Not any annoying sensation on the skin.

Overall impression: Would maybe buy again in another scent if the price were 1/2 what it is. It is just not special enough to pay this much for it again. Also, I think the applicator is pointless and it should simply be in the lotion tube, especially if they want to advertise right on the package that it can be used on other parts of the body. It seems unsanitary the idea of rolling this traditional deodorant applicator on your foot then popping it onto your armpit. Again, this scent is disappointing and I would not want to buy it again. It does provide me with 1 day's worth of coverage.


Woolzies has outdone themselves yet again with their 100% Sweet Almond Oil!! I can not say an adequate number of glorious things about this stuff!I use it for everything ranging from homemade face scrub, shampoo, and moisturizer… to body mist, massage oil, lip balm, and shaving cream!! I have mixed it with homemade pet shampoo, added to foot soak, combed it through wet or damp hair and FINALLY MY LATEST OBSESSION…

BLENDING IT INTO MY SMOOTHIES!!
YUP! When I make smoothies with a great deal of vitamin K (such as kale) or pro-vitamin A (such as carrots or apricots) the sweet almond oil (Excellent Source of MUFAs) improves the absorption of these fat-soluble nutrients into my body!
It also contains a truckload of vitamin E (Antioxidant) which aids in boosting the immune system, supports a healthy inflammatory response and benefits as a cicatrizant, “ A medicine or application that promotes the healing of a sore or wound, or the formation of a cicatrix. [1913 Webster]”

So yeah… this stuff is truly badass! BEST PART... this particular sweet almond oil is extremely mellow in fragrance and flavor. In fact, if I were not the one blending together the ingredients I would be oblivious to its existence in the mix.

In any case…I read a review that claimed the scent or flavor of this oil was not the finest, which perhaps could be the ‘pseudo truth’ IF someone was expecting an intensely rich almond essence. (This is what would be found in bitter almond oil. Actually known as almond essential oil)

Nevertheless, the ‘aroma/flavor’ or better yet, the lack there of, contained within this particular oil is precisely what I look for when I purchase a product that can be incorporated into my diet or included in so many personal products.  My intent is such that I can exercise full control over the fragrance or flavor of my creations. Typically I do so by mixing in some of my favorite essential oils, dried herbs or citrus zests.

In sum, I’ve tolerated many but valued only a few products as much as I do this oil. It has earned its place among my officially declared ‘household staple items’! For its versatility, benefits and purity Woolzies 100% Pure Sweet Almond Oil has officially won me over!


Well, I purchased these same lashes without the dandy little tool.  I had such a bad experience, but I was determined to get those little ****s on my eyes.  Well, the tool was of no help whatsoever.  Those little lash pieces still fell and fluttered around.  I could not even find one piece until I looked in the mirror and found it on my nose.  I even watched YouTube to get tips.  One model put hers on, claiming that it was easy after you get the hang of it... but even her lashes did not fit next to her eyelid.  There was a space of about 1/16 of an inch.  She said that they look really good "from a distance".  Hey Hey Hey... from a distance???  You've got to be kidding.  How many of us want to stay across the room to look good??

In addition, I really don't know whose eyes they are made for.  These lashes do not follow the contour of anyone's eyes who I know.  Who has straight eyelids???  These lashes look like wings on your eyes.  They stick fly out at the edges and I could not find any way to get them to fit the lid, short of a lot of nail glue.... that sort of defeats the purpose of them.

Now I can look back at this experience and laugh.  I'm quite certain that an observer would have found it to be hilarious to watch me.  At the time, I saw no humor in it.  This was funny enough to be on the "I love Lucy" show.  I would have loved to see Lucy and Ethel trying these out.

The concept is great.... wow!!  But, it makes me wonder if the developers did these to determine the lengths that we would go to for beauty.

In closing, I even tried to get ahold of the company.... and wouldn't you know, there was no contact number on their site.  Amazon was gracious enough to receive them back from me.  Thank goodness for Amazon's commitment to trying to ensure that we are satisfied.

Now do you see why I procrastinated in doing this review???  I have never submitted a review as negative as this.  BTW, I finally admitted to some friends my experience with these.... and they confessed that they, too, returned their magnetic lashes.


I don't know how to get this across. I am a makeup fanatic. And not like eyeshadow and all that. Although I do own like 75 palettes. But thing had always been the chase for a Flawless base. The closest I've come was Chantecaille Future Skin or Just Skin tint. Both of which retail for over $80. And I could never get a perfect shade match. THIS stuff has taken over Chantecaille, Charlotte Tilbury, Nars, Chanel... everything. All my luxury and high end have nothing on this. I have fair rosy Skin and 51.5 was a perfect match. It's thin and light weight. But the coverage is good, but looks sooo natural. Easily build able. I prefer light coverage, but it needs to be able to perform well under concealer so that I can spot conceal any darker or redder areas. This is perfection. I wish this was easier to get in the US. I paid $11.99 one day and a few days after it was delivered it shot up to $21.00.  Not sure what that is about but my God it performs 100x better than anything I've paid 4x as much for. I hope that this stays available to the US market on Amazon and hope that their shade range develops more for other skintones.  I realize I am lucky to be in that range..  I'm usually an NW15 to NW20 in MAC for comparison. It's so thin and looks so natural. Jt doesn't settle into my pores.  It is water-based so please be vigilant of the type of primer you use so as not to experience separation. No breakouts at all. I am on prescription trentinoin so I have sensitive and dry skin. This doesn't cling to dry patches like a lot of my other foundations do.  I am so happy I found this. I just wanted to give some feedback so that Bourjois understands that there are US customers.  Thanks to Allie Glines on YouTube for turning me on to this stuff.

I have relaxed hair that was damaged and breaking, you know, the usual struggles of relaxed hair. =_= So I decided to try one of these. And it is amazing!!

The instructions are easy to follow (but I was nervous about it so I went and watched a TON of youtube tutorials haha) and I went ahead and did one myself! My hair is smooth, soft, stronger, and actually is easier to comb! The packet says to do it every 6 weeks and I will do just that.

Here are the steps: 1. Put in protein (I used a spray bottle). 2. Comb through. 3.  Dry to harden. (I used a blow dryer). DO NOT TOUCH YOUR HAIR, IT WILL BE AS HARD AS TREE BARK. 4. Rise out protein with warm water. 5. Put in moisturizer, leave in for 2 minutes covered. 6. Wash that out. 5. Done! Style or deep condition, your choice!

The smell of the protein is abysmal. Smells like eggs and feet lol but hey, you're gonna wash it out anyway so what does it matter? But the moisturizer smells wonderful and is REALLY, REALLY moisturizing! I still deep conditioned afterwards with some Shea Moisture stuff though.

Am I still seeing breakage? Yea, I am. I'm still shedding and breaking at times but it is significantly less than before! And I think it will only get better the longer I use protein. Not bad for just 1 treatment! My hair is already night and day!

Overall, very VERY happy with this purchase and will definitely use again! If you're nervous about protein look at some Youtube tutorials about how to put them in. It's very easy!

I bought these from Sally's. I have hair to under my bra strap and surprisingly 1 pouch was enough for me. I bought 2 but I even had a tiny bit of both the protein and moisturizer left over! But I used every bit of it cause I didn't wanna waste my money lol .


I'd first like to say, I love Brandon Carter. I've learned a lot from his YouTube videos, and when I saw him promoting this "fat-burner," I figured I'd give it a try to see if it would help me get somewhere near his shape. However, it seemed a little sketchy, the TeaRexx website doesn't work and after doing some research, I noticed the bottle is packaged in Forest Hills, NY which is where Brandon Carter's modelmayhem profile says he resides. Coincidence? If he is the one selling this or is getting endorsed to do so, it would've been nice if he admitted it. I mean his YT vids are free and nothing wrong with a man making some bucks, especially since he's given me a goal and tools to help me, but full disclosure is all I ask.

Anyway, basically this has green tea extract, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, B5, B6, B12, panax ginseng, and L-taurine.
Let me also say I'm a doctor, and multi-vitamins have never been proven to provide any health benefit.
So does the pill work? I get NO EFFECT from the pill, it gives me no extra energy. It gives me no jitteriness, nada, nada.
I think you're better off drinking your own-made green tea. And there's lots of B vitamins in meat and whole grains.
The B6 in one capsule is 40mg or 2000% your daily rec, and B12 is 8333%, and the bottle recommends 3 pills a day!
The max recommended limit of B6 is 100mg/day from supplements, so 3 pills would be 120mg. I don't think this pill is dangerous, and maybe some people will feel more energy, but you could get B vitamins and green tea naturally for much cheaper than 50¢ a pill.

Hope this helps you guys, I think the other reviews written here are shills.
Lastly, still love you Brandon if you're reading this, and so I'm ok with the $40 donation for your vids.


Most of my life has been spent on the ice either in the pursuit of tests and titles or coaching skaters in that same pursuit. Buns and other updos aren't just  for their look... they protect our eyes and faces! Centrifugal force is merciless.
In all of these years, there has been one of many things I've lamented about updos - the tools available to us. Hair pins are a necessity for a perfect updo. Unfortunately, most hairpins are so weak that it feels like you need HUNDREDS of them in addition to an entire can of hairspray. Magnets and open flames cause new feelings of danger as you wait to take the ice.

HERE IS A SOLUTION WITH THESE PINS!!!

These pins are AMAZING! I feel like I could breeze through jumps and spins without a care about my hair - JUST AS IT SHOULD BE! Trust me when I say that we're not thinking about our hair while performing... unless it comes loose which is always a risk if you have long hair.
However, these pins are super sturdy. I was able to assemble a standard bun (think - good enough for a hard practice) with only SIX PINS.
SIX!! And, yes, I have long hair.
I have no idea how many different updos I've done in my career as a skater and coach, but I ALWAYS was armed at test sessions and competitions with the necessities to do a sturdy updo should a skater be in need which was something that happened more often than not. Bobby pins and hair spray? No complaints. Thick hair that needed two hair bands? No big deal. A synchro team all in need of buns? Each skater better have their own supply of hair pins because I'd run out halfway through bun number 2 because standard pins are WEAK and require copious amounts of them to withstand the forces of physics.
However, these pins? I could easily assemble at least 12 competition and test ready buns and only need ONE can of hairspray!
You can be sure that I'll be sharing this find with all my current and former colleagues.
These pins are the best I've ever seen or used!!!


I purchased this epilator after my first love (Satinelle HP 6401) slowly came to an end (after lasting more than 5 years). With high expectations of it's double head tweezers I eagerly set out to epilate (is that a word?), but at last, I was met with great disappointment. Attempting my under arms first, it was a struggle to use this larger double-tweezer head (thicker) on the curves of my arm pits (and I'm a pretty small person). It just would not pick up the hairs as it should and I eventually sat with my personal tweezers plucking out every last hair... On to my legs, it took some practice, but you have hold it at a 90 degree angle and move it back and forth like you would an eraser, short movements. Together with the short length of the tweezer head, this short movement made this process take forever. Be prepared to spend a few hours on this.. (and yes, the head is thicker and shorter than my previous Satinelle model). I've always loved using an epilator, but this one hurts more! I think its due to the back and forth motion. The hairs seem to break as well because I never get that smooth finish that I used to. I also used an epilator on my B-line... same problem I had with my under arms! It just doesn't fit the natural curves of the body. I found myself in some strange positions trying to hold the skin tight and angle this thing to reach places that should have been a breeze. Oh! And let me warn you... if you bend your legs at your knee and use this thing to come up your calf or to get at the side of the knee, be warned that it could grab your skin and practically suck it into the rotating head - painful!!! Keep your eye on to any lose skin! (And again, I'm pretty slim with not much lose skin). My reviews? Save yourself the drama and buy the Satinelle HP 6401! The E-rase is a waste of time (literally! hourssss I will never get back!).


RETURNED!
First of all, I am barefoot all day long, so I need to clean the bottoms of my feet, but I also do a lot of dying, and constantly have dye spraying or dripping on the tops of my feet as well.  So when I get in the shower, I usually end up scrubbing my feet with a brush anyway - I thought this would be great, because it scrubs the bottoms *and* tops at the same time! Yay! What a great idea!.... NOT.
Problems;
1. First problem, the suction cups suck (and not in the way they should!)  The thing slides around, and is nearly impossible to keep still long enough to get on a good scrub. I spent more time chasing it around the shower with my foot, than it would ever have taken me to just scrub my feet by hand. Even when I was able to keep it still long enough to start scrubbing, every time I pushed my foot into it with enough pressure to actually scrub, it started to move again, and here I am chasing it around the shower again! So #1, bad suction.
2. And this is the worst part! When I was able to push it up against the side of the shower so it wouldn't slide around so much, I don't know if it's because I have high arches or what, but when I put my foot all the way in, that hard blue plastic across the top just scraped the tops of my feet raw!  Very painful, and even feeling kind of bruised as well!!
So even if it didn't slide around, and make it impossible to scrub for more than 5 seconds, it is so painful to put my foot all the way in, so I wasn't able to scrub the whole foot, I had to just do the bottom of my toes, and then going only up to about half of my foot, stopping once it got to the hard blue plastic on top.  So after my first use, my feet remained dirty, and now have painful scratches on the tops of my feet.
Not a pleasant experience to say the least!!  I saw another one on here that only does the bottoms, so I am going to cross my fingers, and try that one, and hope that the suction cups work better!  It won't get the tops at the same time, so it won't hurt them either!


I am 55 and this is the first time that I am using an elecric shaver in my life! I selected the Norelco 6613X because it had the fewest complaints and/or negative remarks amongst all the shaver reviews that I read. No electric shaver, however expensive, can give a shave as close as a good manual razor. First-time users of an electric shaver should not make the mistake of judging it after the first couple of shaves. As mentioned in the user's manual, it takes 3-4 weeks for a conventional shaver's face and beard to adjust to an electric shaver. I am now in my third week of shaving with this Norelco 6613X cordless shaver and am getting more comfortable with using it. So how does the 6613X rate? Well, I have no major complaints at all. It gets the job done. I would give it a rating of 80% in terms of the closeness of the shave. And that should be good enough for a first-time user. I charge it when the battery is completely down, for the full 16 hours as recommended by the manufacturer. I shave every other day and this lasts me for 4 shaves at 7-8 minutes per shave. There are no fancy gizmos like dials to set or flashing LEDs. I have not had any cuts, nicks or scratches. It takes practice and time to become adept at using an electric shaver. It is very much like learning to ride a bicycle or drive a car. You get better and better with practice. Perhaps, after another 2-3 weeks of usage I might get a 90% close shave. There are many advantages in a cordless shaver. It is not messy. It is faster than a conventional razor shave. There is no up and down scraping of the face as in a conventional razor because an electric shaver has rotary cutters. The best part of a cordless is that you can take it with you and shave in your car or the rest room of your workplace in case you got up late and had no time to shave!!!
