I've been looking for this comb from Japan for several years now. I've found fake ones online (extra shitty quality), and this is the real one after comparing it to online pics of the actual comb and seeing the quality. If you have a Shiba Inu that's difficult to brush because her fur is so fine, then this green diatolib comb is the one for you! I've tried the following brushes on my dog:
1) The furminator seems decent at taking out loose fur, however I've found that it also cuts her fur a lot (that feeling where the blades on the brush suddenly gets caught on some fur and then cuts it) which is terrible for her.
2) the loop shedding blade was decent but created such a mess, still took awhile to take out all the loose fur, and she hated being brushed by it.
3) the slicker comb was good at taking out tuffs of loose fur but not loose fur that was spread out. She also hated being brushed by this comb, especially if I tried brushing longer than a minute. Knowing how rough the slicker pins are on skin, I've always tried to brush gently. However that did not help her like it any more.
4) toothed comb didn't do much.. even the finer toothed side.

Things I learned about this green diatolib comb:
1) it gets stuck in her fur very quickly because there's too much loose fur that gets caught in the comb. Do not keep pulling, as this will hurt your dog cause it'll also pull on the fur that's not shedding. Instead you need to unhook the brush and brush over that area lightly until all the loose fur is out.
2) this comb is excellent for removing loose fur whether it's in tuffs or spread out.
3) I am planning on looking for the wider toothed comb (orange?) when I visit Japan. I am going to test brushing with the wider toothed comb(orange), and then brushing with the smaller toothed comb(green) to see if it will help reduce the number of times the green brush gets stuck in her fur.


This was my first time trying shampoo or conditioner in bar form, and I had the opportunity to try both from this company's line of products.  My first impressions were very positive - the ingredients looked clean and natural, as well as being cruelty-free and vegan, I love that it’s plastic free (both the lack of bottle and the packaging), and that the scent options were relatively gender neutral.  The bars were a little smaller than I expected, but ergonomically they fit comfortably in the palm of my hand and don't seem to be shrinking too fast after a week or so of use.  I'm glad that they have different colors, so that I can differentiate between my bar soap, shampoo, and conditioner!

My experience using them was pretty good.  It felt odd at first as I've only ever used bottled products, but quickly got used to it and could definitely see myself using more bars in the future.  I tried both running the conditioner bar down my hair and lathering it up a little in my hand and applying that way.  Between the two, I felt that I got pretty good coverage and results.  My hair felt less tangled and I was able to work a brush through pretty easily once I got out the shower.  When my hair dried, it seemed softer and healthier looking than it had previously, and my curls had a little more life to them.

I only have two concerns - the first is that I'm struggling to find a place to put the bars in my shower where they won't get misted by water and disintegrate more quickly that way.  The second is the smell.  Although it's not unpleasant, it reminded me a little of a scented candle, and was very strong.  Three different people commented on the smell of my hair that week, which is not something that usually happens to me.  My husband thought that I smelled like cologne!  I could see this being a pro or a con depending on how you feel about fragrances.  Personally, I found it overwhelming as I'm more on the sensitive side to smells.

Overall, I would consider trying this or a similar product again in the future, but only with a less intense scent.


First off and to the bottom line, for quality and price point totally WORTH THE BUY!!

For reference, I ordered the 22 inch Color #2 Darkest Brown. I am 5'11" and ordered a length similar to my own hair.

Now for the background: I am mid 40s and I have always had SUPER thick, curly hair until an autoimmune thing kicked in at which point I lost 3/4s of that volume over a year. So I've been playing around with hair extensions. If we can dye out grays, do our nails, etc. to feel better about ourselves, why not hair extensions??  This particular piece is AMAZING! Honestly, it could be thicker, but then I feel it would be too heavy. It's perfect for me.

The color matches perfectly. The length is accurate. The sheen is beautiful. Some other reviewers complained about it tangling, and although it does, it doesn't tangle more than my own hair and brushes out back to original form with ease. ...Some other reviewers said it doesn't stay in place and I personally disagree. I straighten my hair, put it up in a ponytail at the height I want, clip in the extension, wrap the extra piece and secure with 3-4 bobby pins around the base. That may sound like a lot of work, but really it isn't (especially since I only wash my hair every third day or so, and in between days, I just shower without wetting my hair).  It took me a couple tries to perfect it, but since, I have it down and wear it for 12-14 hours continuously without an issue.  No headache, no slipping. My hair blends with the extension and you can't tell which strands are "real". ...Admittedly, I haven't played around with curling it or anything so I can't commit or advise on that.

All in all, I feel this is a cheap, quick and easy way to feel beautiful. And everyone deserves to feel beautiful!  Hope this review helped :)


I purchased my first bundle of Salux cloths back in September 2016 and I have hardly felt so good about discovering a hidden or abstract product. The tag line on the packaging and on the official Salux website "A shower isn't a shower without Salux." sounds like some corny slogan, but it is something most will agree with after using the Salux cloth just for the first time. I prefer the "Super Hard" version of the Salux cloth for showers, but even the standard version here is great to lather and scrub the entire body. I now think: How the hell did I shower all these years with just a loofa? The Salux gets your arms, your upper and lower back, your underarms, your "Swimsuit Area" (Tee Hee :) your legs, everything.

I have dealt with oily skin and acne, and the Salux cloth is also a game-changer for addressing those issues as well. Certain dry bar soaps like the line of Nubian Heritage soaps have always been more beneficial to my skin, and the Salux cloth's ability to lather up so well with a minor amount of soap has not only allowed me to apply these soaps all across my body (I get the occasional back zit) but it also allowed me to shave with those types of soaps. I have saved money on buying shaving creams and gels because the lather produced by the Salux cloth is so abundant that I coat my whole face in lather, which allows me to shave even easier than before. Dry soaps also last longer than liquid/gel cleansers, so you will also be saving money in that regard. Given the type of soap you use, you will even save money on shampoo since you can wash your hair with the abundant lather.

Believe the hype, everybody! Unless you have super super sensitive skin, you will be a life-long patron of the Salux Japanese wash cloth. Just be wary of counterfeits out there; The official website saluxshop.com has an entire section devoted to identifying the fake Salux cloths out there.


The photo makes it seems as if the openings on each end are equal size, but one is slightly smaller than the other.

The measurements are given for accuracy and to save you aggravation and waste, so be sure to use them and measure your devices before ordering.  I ordered it at the same time as my diffuser...

I bought this because I wanted to use the black orchid diffuser with my ancient Conair Ion Shine 1875, and I was worried it wouldn't fit.  Turns out the opening to my dryer is so large the black orchid diffuser fits INTO the hair dryer opening -- all I have to do is press very firmly and it fits into place without popping out.  I will use the snozzlepro for other dryer attachments now...

I thought about returning the snozzlepro, but then thought I should try popping it onto the end of my Revlon One Step, which I occasionally try to use on the cool setting.  If you have a Revlon One Step, you know there are at least four major problems with it.  One of them is that some of your hair gets caught in the rim underneath the upper cap/handhold as you turn it, and you either rip the hairs out of your head without realizing, or you have to stop and try to pry the hairs out.  I thought the wide end of the snozzlepro might stretch to fit over that rim, to protect my hair from getting caught in it.  (Turns out it's a little too small for that and keeps popping off, but the snozzlepro manufacturer was very sweet and tried to help me make it work, even though it is not intended for that purpose.)  [In case you're curious about the other problems with the Revlon One Step -- the heat is too high, the bristles grab your hair to the point of causing breakage, and the sound is so loud you should use earplugs.  I'm going to stop using it.]


A chiro student here. Have not used Activators of any types (Type 2 or Type 4) before, so this is my first tool. Once I got it, I used it on someone I know and it worked well! This works similarly to an activator type 2 where the tool just has to be placed at the spot that you desire.

Pros:
-The box is small, covered in foam when it arrived. Simple manual and instructions are included inside.
-This is a great tool if you decide to save some money instead of buying the 'branded' version. (Type 2 and 4)
-Lightweight
-Small, easy to carry around.
-Great quality, great materials.
-12 month warranty.
-Force is adequate and strong (at least for me, have not used activator type 2 or type 4 yet).
-Adjustment is gentle (as long as the setting is right depending on which body part you are planning to aim).
-Precise as it should be.

Cons:
-Sound of the recoil can be quite loud at times (you'll get used eventually), it is quite loud if it's near my ears.
-Recoil can be quite strong on the palm area if a higher setting is used (lower settings have lesser recoil as less force is needed), can lead to pain if you have thinner and smaller hands like me after using the medium setting for a while.
-The fingers and the palm rest can be a bit far from one another (I have smaller hands) so the recoil can be felt on the palm area (remember to take breaks).
- No carrying case included, sold separately (just a nitpick from me).

If the cons doesn't bother you too much, this is a really great tool. I have thinner and smaller hands so the experience varies.

Conclusion: This tool is worth the price that you're paying for unless you have used activators of any sort before as your experience might vary if you have used those before.
This tool is a great entry point for students/chiropractors/other people if they have not used activators before.
At least for now, I won't be able to use it as a primary tool as the recoil strains my hand and there are techniques for me to use. It might change as time goes on.

I will recommend this tool to people who use it as their secondary adjusting tool and to people who are really on a budget.


I bought this product, the Neutrogena Wave because I wanted to take my skincare regimin to the next level. I looked at the competetors but settled on this product due to the price of $12.97 at Walmart. It comes with the massager, pop-out attachment for the cleansing pad,(14) and a AA battery along with 14 cleansing pads. First, let me say I'm in my fifty's so skincare is important to me but I don't have the luxury of spending hundreds on skincare products. My skin is now starting to show signs of aging by fine lines and deep wrinkles and circles under my eyes. My main goal from this product is for my skin to improve in the following areas:

more even skin texture
more radiance
more firmness
more softer, subtle feel
help with deep skin cleansing and exfoliation

  I used this product today for the first time following the instructions carefully. The product is very well made so far as the size as it comfortably fits in your palm. The attachment which holds the cleanser pad comes of easily and the cleansing pad attachs to it with no problems. Simply wet the pad with some water and push the button to start.You can also re- wet the pad if more is needed later. The vibration is both somewhat quiet but not irritating on the skin at all. You don't need to push on the product while holding it as it does the massaging for you!! The cleansing pads have a nice smell to them- nothing too perfumy, just a nice clean smell. Simply guide the skin massager over your face concentrating on the areas that you feel need the most attention. You control how long you feel each area needs to be cleansed.
  I found my skin afterward to be more soft and brighter than before I used the Neutrogena Wave. It was easy to use and control and can ber used in the shower. The cleansing pads are available for about $6.49 for about 1-2 months worth depending on how often you use the product. It is gentle enough I feel you could use it every day depending on yourt skin type.
  Bottom line is, if you don't want to spend alot for a "skin rejuvenator" than consider the Neutrogena Wave! I think you'll like the results and for alot less too!!


Ok, I'm leaving 4* because after a ton of research, video watching and practice... I finally got the results I was hoping for. However, it has been a chore that honestly has left me frustrated and a bit disappointed.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for review. I was STOKED to finally get to try a fiber mascara. Being that I'm a first timer, I was relying heavily on the packaging to help walk me through application. The directions say gel on clean lashes, then fiber. Being a fiber lash virgin, I honestly had no idea which tube was which until I pulled both wands out... its then obvious which is the fiber. The part that really gets me is the applying to clean lashes. I rarely take my eye make up off, so the first attempt was over day old covergirl. I thought that was why I had so much fiber in my eye maybe and that it just wasn't working right... the second day, I was revved to try it again with clean lashes... and I got such crappy results that I wound up throwing cover girl over top and running out the door. Third day, I done some research... Watched a few videos and wound up with a few tricks and tips, mostly from younique users.
-Apply the gel over a good coat of your regular mascara NOT CLEAN LASHES
-Squish the fibers onto the fiber wand, like you're trying to get a q-tip smaller
-gel the top and bottoms of your upper and lower lashes, switch sides, and then add the fiber, repeat, repeat, repeat.
-WATCH  a few videos of applications. IF my toddler terrorists will ever give me a chance, I will totally post one myself. It seriously took me from hating this product, to making me mostly love it.

Meanwhile, fiber lashes are GREAT for date nights, but I find the application process a bit to time consuming for daily wear... and the price tag on them for date nights is a bit much, but if you have it to spend, go ahead. You wont HATE the results but don't let the other reviewers make you think this is an easy process for every woman. It certainly made me question my femininity.

I have used this for 20 years. I can not smell any fragrance with this at all,
this is best used in light applications for body and hair- a little goes along way! Its NOT gloppy like olive oil/almond/canola, seems lighter than grape seed oil even.
Worth the $. I lightly apply it through my hair the day I need to wash it- lightly oil all hair, twist up/clip, time it like a light hot oil treatment so it can soak in and work. It is a God send for unruley eyebrows. It washes right out no residue. I do this 2 times a week. I live in the desert/New Mexico/hard water/50 yrs/unprocessed thick semi curly hair. My hair shines but its not oily looking after washing, it semi tames and makes it so much better...it looks alive and healthy. My beautican is astounded. I have found its so much cheaper and works far much better than high scale salon items. It feeds your hair and body.
How I apply this I squeaze a small amount (pea size) onto one palm then rub my hands/palms quickly together till oil is warm- then lay my hands on area and massage in-it sinks right into dry scaley elbows, chapped lips, wind burned knees- etc. it does leave a light very fine oil film if it doesnt soak in 100%. If that happens it doesnt stain my clothes.
Oddly I have found for some reason it heals skin/cuts/wind burn more quickly than salves.
I keep my oil bottle on the (metal) end of an old frozen OJ tube style container- making a tiny saucer in case a drop oil seeps out.
Just my 2 cents....


I'm rewriting my previous review (listed at end) because when I'm wrong, I admit it.
I've come back to Castle Forbes because I learned that there is no product that provides the quality and product life comparable to Castle Forbes (sorry Proraso). Here's what I learned:
The texture, and this is where I went wrong in my last review, is not to be used (slathered) like other products.  This is a wonderful balm that I believe is best used sparingly and it will both out perform in quality and last for months past any other balm experience.  "Sparingly", to me, is a small (i.e. size of a dime - or less) amount applied with damp/wet hands.  The product delivers a slick and fragrant after shaving experience that I highly recommend.

Many things can go wrong in a shave (i.e. quality of cream, sharpness of blade, aggressiveness of razor, etc.) but the last step of the shave, the closing act, is the application of the balm which will tell you all you need to know and remember about your shave before you tackle the rest of the day.
I've learned that Castle Forbes aftershave balm delivers time and again.  No pain or burn.  No sticky slather with overwhelming or lingering scent. Just quality and value - well worth the price and experience - you'll see.

Original Review:
I'm a great fan of the Castle Forbes shaving cream - but - while I like the strong lime scent upon application, and that it does not linger more than a few minutes after application, I can't justify the price vs. value on this one.  The balm is a little heavy (almost sticky) on application.  In the end, as much as I like Castle Forbes, for aftershave balm I will stick to Proraso - it's smoother, lighter, and a fraction of the cost of Castle Forbes for this product.


My review is for Size: 22-Inch Straight | Color: 12 Pcs Multiple colors

Upon receipt, the yellow hairpiece was shedding really bad. When putting the pink hairpiece in my daughter's hair I noticed part of the hair wasn't sewn into the clip so it started to shed as well. Overall, I was able to use these hairpieces and they looked really cute. The shedding didn't affect the completed look. The aqua hairpiece didn't shed at all.

There were no instructions supplied with this set. (They are in the product listing.) It would have saved me some time had I the instructions been included with the clips. By the time these arrived I'd long forgotten what I read on the product listing. These look like they just slide into the hair like a comb so I initially misused them. It was by chance that I discovered they popped open.

The colors are bright and bold. They are accurately portrayed in the product listing. The hair was the length advertised and the clips are easy to use. The clips stay in place and don't fall out. The texture of the hair is soft and silky. It's not tangled upon receipt and doesn't easily tangle.

Ratings (Out of five stars):
Material Quality: ★★★★
Durability: ★★★
Ease of Use: ★★★★★
Color & Length: ★★★★★
Value: ★★★★★

Overall rating: 22 out of 25 stars / 4.4 Star Average

📌 SUMMARY: At the current price, $10.99 these cost $0.91 each. I like the price point and feel its on par with the quality. I would recommend these hair extensions.

The U Beauty Preface Kit is a trio of lotions that will help make improvements to your skin without much effort on your part. The three items included in this kit are Resurfacing Compound (15ml), The Super Hydrator (15 ml), and The Sculpt Arm Compound (50ml). The Resurfacing Compound and The Super Hydrator are intended to be paired to work together. After washing and toning my face, I first applied the Resurfacing Compound and then followed up with the Super Hydrator. The Resurfacing Compound is a gel-like golden colored serum. It glided across my skin effortlessly and initially felt sticky but once absorbed I didn't notice it at all. The Super Hydrator is a creamy textured lotion applied immediately following the Resurfacing Compound. Of the three products, this was the item I have a love/hate feeling for. It went on easily but had a sticky/tacky feeling on my skin that remained. No matter if I used less product or tried to rub it into my skin more diligently, it just sat. Even hours later, I could feel it on my skin which was irritating. Thus I would use the pair at night as I didn't enjoy the feeling during the day. As I awoke each morning, I found my skin looked noticeably improved with each passing day. My skin appeared revitalized, fresh, and moisturized. Meanwhile, The Sculpt Arm Compound is also applied to clean skin in either the morning, night, or both. This lotion can also be used on the neck, hands, and anywhere you want to see firmer looking skin. The lotion is a thicker white lotion but not as thick as body butter. It went on smoothly and absorbed incredibly fast. Of the three items, this was the item that I didn't notice any specific changes after using. It made my skin soft to the touch but other lotions have accomplished this feat.  The one common thread among all three products was that I did not enjoy the fragrance of any of the items.  The limited edition set is really lovely visually and has sleek modern looking bottles. This is a Product of Italy. Overall, I think this is a good introduction set to this trio of products. The products are the perfect size to take with you on a trip. I experienced noticeable results with two of the three products. I am really pleased with that.


Of all natural, aluminum-free deodorants and antiperspirants I have tried, this is BY FAR the best. Why? Because it truly works. In the heat, during a workout, while hiking, while I'm working outdoors, etc. This was so important to me, and so many other products didn't cut it. I had to reapply multiple times in the day (who wants to do that?) and was constantly worried that I smelled bad when I was around my friends or at work around customers. I was nervous about doing anything outside in the summer or going to the gym because I knew I'd sweat right through those products.

Admittedly, most of the natural products you find on the market are deodorants only, and do nothing to prevent sweat. So you cannot go into it expecting anything more than a little perfume for your underarms. Most people expect those products to work like the mainstream brands that are full of those harmful chemicals. Primal Pit Paste is the best product I have found that works just like the traditional products I used (Secret, Dove, Suave) but has NONE of the downsides of chemicals on your body. I even used to use Secret Clinical Strength, and this is better, no kidding.

Yes, I'll admit these are a little expensive when compared to mainstream brands. But, when I compared how long they last they were not any more expensive then how often I'd buy the old brands. Actually, these recommend only a couple swipes and you're covered and its correct. Don't over apply, because you don't need to for it to work. So yeah, one of these lasts for weeks and weeks. I only have to apply once at the beginning of my day and I know I'm all set. Also, though these are a "paste" and look white, they do not show once they are on. I used to like the gel products because they were clear and didn't rub on clothing or appear white when my arms were up. Once again, I was so happy and surprised to find that soon after application, this product was completely invisible. I have recommended this to all my friends, who know that I care about everything I put on my body as well as my diet. All my skincare, haircare, toothcare, etc products are all natural and much healthier without all those chemicals. You'll be surprised how incredibly well this works!! :)


.
I ordered this makeup primer because I had been using Eclipse Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a couple of months and loved what it was doing for my face -- leaving it much brighter -- and I hoped that the foundation primer would work as well as the serum. And it does!

I have used at least a half-dozen foundation primers over the years. I find that they not only help with foundation application, they also help foundation look better and last longer. For a couple of years now, I've used Avon's Magix Face Perfector, which is a reasonably priced, fine product. Having now used Eclipse Foundation Primer, though, I have a new favorite.

For starters, this product goes on and absorbs into the skin with amazing ease. It comes out of the container in a semi-solid state and then just melts as I rub it into the skin. After letting it sink in for a minute (it doesn't take long), I'm ready to apply foundation, which then goes on smoothly and evenly. Applied over this primer, my foundation is more consistently even, which looks very nice. And with the foundation being smoother on the face, my blusher and powder apply more smoothly and evenly, too.

Another thing I like about the Eclipse primer is the way it helps me go without foundation altogether! It makes my skin feel and appear so silky, I can just apply a bit of blusher and I'm ready to go. Since I'm 63, that's saying something!

The Amazon product description refers to the primer as a "powdery gel" -- and that's a perfect description. It feels really good on my skin and makes my skin look better regardless of whether I follow it with foundation, just powder or blusher, or nothing else at all.

The price of this foundation primer seems a bit high until it becomes apparent how long it lasts. It doesn't take much to cover the face; a little goes a long way. Plus, if you go to the Global Care Essentials website, you'll see that it's substantially higher there than on Amazon!

My experience with this product has been thoroughly delightful, and I'm very glad to have found it. I can recommend it highly.


So far this product has kept me odor free.  I only sprayed my under my arms and not my feet as suggested,  My concerns would be the cost as it is not a large bottle and spraying goes quickly!  I did receive a discount for my honest review.

This is not built very sturdy. T?he base of it, if only it had a metal piece to hold the bottom in place, it would be perfect...... but it has a plastic piece.......... and for this not to be sturdy, is pretty dangerous..

I bought it because I wanted to lay my mom under it as often as possible......... and it almost fell on her.............. and almost gave me a heart attack... she didn't even notice, but omg if it had fallen on her...........

Yes, that's a really big deal....... but...... I'm not properly set up over here either...... I just reallllllllyyyy think they need to do something about the bottom attachment piece to make this thing completely sturdy, because those lights get HOT!!!..........

Also when it showed up one of the lights was broken..... I never said anything to anyone about it though because it was for the night in the middle, and I don't really need that one........ But I probably should have just to get it replaced.

The last negative thing is that it makes a pretty loud humming noise while it's on. And depending on the brightness, it gets louder. (oddly it gets louder as the lights go dimmer....)

But on a bright note........ I can barely ever actually get my mom to get undressed to actually let the light shine on her skin....... (She doesn't know who I am most of the time, so I can't blame her....... ) but one time I was able to get her to....... we laid under it for probably 45 minutes........ and she was in such a bright and cheery mood after we got up.......... it was awesome.

So. Red light therapy really works.......... as far as this product goes.......... the fact that it's not totally sturdy, I think is dangerous, especially if you're in my situation with an older parent......... but it was the best one I could find. I don't regret buying it, but I hope that they replace the plastic piece at the bottom with metal.


When I first opened this brush I was very excited to see how my spoiled cat would like a nice brushing with it. I pulled it out of the package and showed it to him as he needs to inspect everything before he will allow it near him.  He unfortunately ran away as soon as he got one sniff! I was puzzled, but I quickly realized that the silicone was not smelling great. That sometimes happens with new silicone and it just needs to sit out for a few days to have the smell dissipate. In a couple days the smell went away and I gave the brush another try. At first my cat pulled away because he remembered the smell, but once he realized it didn't smell, he let me give him a pet. He generally likes gentle petting, but this brush by nature makes even the most gentle brushing a little more rough. He accepted the new level of brushing and I proceeded to brush him. I was immediately amazed at the amount of cat hair this brush was removing per brush. This hands down is the most efficient cat brush I have ever used! I had to clean the bristles every few strokes, which is very simple to do by peeling the hair off in one large section. My cat is a short hair and does not shed very much at all, so I was confused as to how so much hair was being removed from my cat. He was in heaven so I kept on going until each section I was brushing would not brush out any more hair. When he got up from brushing, the cat looked better to me. Maybe because all of the loose hair was no longer holding down his shiny Tuxedo hair. In all I took out a handful of hair from my 7 pound cat. His coat looks shinier, fluffier and healthier now because of a simple brushing.

One thing I do need to mention about this brush is that it is not the most comfortable thing to hold for long periods of time. I pet my cat for about 45 minutes and my hand was hurting from gripping the cube for so long.

I removed 1 star - for the initial smell and the uncomfortable hand grip.


I bought this rotating iron because:
- it was supposed to add shine and volume at the root. There is some truth to this save for the fact that the rotating iron burns your scalp and forehead if you try to get it anywhere near your roots. It does come with a "thermal shield" to protect you from this but the shield only protects one small <1" area on top of the rotator... which if you are straightening/ lifting your roots, it is the side of the rotator that burns you.
- the box says it "styles in 1/2 the time!" It does not do this at all. I generally blow dry my curly, course hair with a straightening brush and then use a ceramic flat iron to smooth and add shine... if you are trying to get to your roots, this takes much more time to do with the Instyler and the *shine results are less with it than with a ceramic flat iron.*
- it said "410 degrees F ceramic heat." This lead me to think it was ceramic coated (which is much safer and less damaging to your hair... giving you less breakage and split ends.) That was a foolish assumption on my part. The rotating barrel is not ceramic coated. I actually looked everywhere in the instructions, on the box, and even searched the internet to find out what the barrel was comprised of... no success. Although, I do hope that after I write this, the facts will come forward.
- it was expensive! I always think that if something is expensive, it is well made and will last long. This is not the case with the product here. In fact, reading a lot of these reviews, I found that you are lucky if it lasts more than a year. My hair stylist recommended that I go to a beauty supply store or look into buying a ceramic Chi flat iron online. She said to make sure the iron is ceramic. I have looked at reviews on this Chi flat iron, which can be found around the same price, and read much better customer reviews. Some customers even say that their Chi iron lasted them 6+ years. This may be my next purchase.


I was really excited to get these (ordered 2) because of 1) the automatic off feature 2) larger water capacity 3) price was great!  I guess the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here.  We live in a very DRY climate so I got these to help add moisture and fragrance to the air in our home. When I bought them they were titled "diffusers" but it looks like now the seller has changed the picture to a different product with the description "Air Purifier Air Cleaner with HEPA Filter, portable for home office car"??? This item definitely DID NOT come with a filter and plugs into a standard outlet so I'm not sure how it would be "portable" or work in a car since you would have no way of plugging it in. That being said, when these first came they were great! Only down side was that there is a "high/low" button for output but no instructions on how to set it other than push the button...so, when is it on high? when is it on low? no way to know unless you just keep pushing the button and see what happens. Even then, there was really no difference in the output.  Initially I thought these worked well but then noticed that they weren't putting out much of anything at all.  I tried changing the high/low setting and still nothing. It seems like the opening isn't right so none of the "mist" comes out and all of the water just kept recirculating around inside the machine.  Since these have an auto-off feature when the water runs out/low they never ended up turning off, since the water never left the chamber, causing them to get extremely hot. Viewing this as a fire hazard and not getting anything worthwhile out of them I was happy I was still within the time frame to return them. Guess I will be looking for a better option and maybe trying an actual humidifier.


Nothing matches the clean, refreshing feeling of a good hair washing, but if you need to "freshen up" between washes, this is a great product.  It smells good and I think it does make your hair feel cleaner and fresher.

Other users have complained about a lot of white powdery residue, but I haven't had this problem.  Please understand that the powder is what makes this product work:  you spray it on (read the instructions and don't over-spray) and then brush it through your hair and it absorbs oil and dislodges dirt to clean your hair.  I did see some powder on my black hairbrush, but it wasn't a lot and it's not like it stains or is going to ruin anything, it's just powder.  Most importantly, I did NOT see any of this powder in my hair or on my scalp at all.  Remove your shirt before brushing it through to make sure you don't get the powder on your clothes (which I would do anyway, I don't like to brush my hair while my shirt is on because it gets hair all over it, yuck) and you won't have any problems.

This is an especially great product now that it's summer time...if you have long hair, you know that you sometimes perspire and it just feels icky, especially in the back (I wear a ponytail and that area gets extremely hot on these humid summer days).  My hair is way too long to wash every day (and I have a sensitive scalp so that isn't good for it, it washes away the natural oils too much), so this is a great product to spray and brush through on hot days in-between washings just to feel a little extra clean and refreshed.

This product isn't something I need to use all of the time, but it is good to have when I need a refresher, and I have always enjoyed Garnier Fructis products.


Let's start out by explaining that I have longer (waist length), fine hair, but a lot of it.  Nothing stays in my hair.  It tangles like a beast.  I've pretty much been living with my hair in a braid for the last year because it is the only thing I can do that doesn't end up in a huge mess but also mostly stays-well, except for all the frizzies and flyaways that sneak out.  So I was looking for another fast alternative to get my hair back and out of my face that also wouldn't require an hour of brushing to undo.
These were cheap, and Amazon is always so great about returns, that I decided to give it ago.  I figured, at worse, at least it would be a simple-ish way to pull my hair back when I am working at the computer.  And they are.  20 seconds and my hair is back in a bun without the discomfort of lots of other hair styles.  I mean, they are actually surprisingly comfortable.
But what I did not expect is for them to hold so well!  I put my hair in a high bun yesterday then went for a run.  I had fully intended to take the bun out and put my hair in a braid, because there was no way this thing would hold through a run, but IT DID!  7 miles later, my bun was still secure and tight, but comfortable and looked as good (which honestly wasn't that good to begin with) as it did when I first put it up.  I could not believe it held through the entire run.
In all honesty, they are a bit fussy to use, and I have not perfected making it look like a perfect doughnut bun.  But I'm not looking for winning style awards.  I just wanted a simple way to get my hair up and back that would hold for a few hours. And in that aspect I got way more than I bargained for.
Very impressed, very pleased, very glad I took a chance!

Edit: Oct. 10, 2014
BEWARE there are NO replacement brushes available for this model (EW-DL82-W)! I searched everywhere and ended up calling the Panasonic Parts Department. A call center rep told me that they DO NOT have replacement brushes! Unbelievable! But she said Amazon had them (which I knew was not true because I'd searched it already). She said the replacement part ID was "WEW0929". I confirmed the ID and that there were no spaces, dashes etc. This part ID does not exist on Amazon, making this is an expensive, disposable toothbrush.

* * *
I've been testing the Panasonic "Sonic Vibration" Ionic toothbrush for about a month. What impressed me right away is the size of the unit... much smaller (about 30 percent) than my previous rechargeable toothbrush of another brand.

I was intrigued by the "ionic" feature, though didn't see it explained in any of the literature that came with the toothbrush. I researched the generic topic of ionic toothbrushes and learned that they emit a flow of positive ions that reverse the surface of the teeth from negative to positive polarity, pulling plaque towards the negatively charged toothbrush head.

I haven't been to the dentist yet for my 6-month cleaning but will be eager to see if I get any compliments on the low plaque levels. I'll update this review afterward.

In a nutshell...

Pros:
* Compact size; 30 percent smaller than the other 2 rechargeable toothbrushes I've used in the past few years
* Case is great for travel
* Ionic feature (in theory) removes more plaque
* Timer feature helps you learn the proper pace from start to finish
* Easy to use; elegantly designed
* The 4-brushing modes ensures the right speed for the desired effect
* Included gum-care brushes
* Brush is going strong after 1 month - no signs of it needing to be replaced

Cons:
* Designed (in my opinion) for one person - not really family friendly as claimed. It's sort of gross removing the brush (wet) and it takes a little effort to remove.
* Difficult to find (so far) replacement brushes

Overall this is the best electric toothbrush I've ever used. Two thumbs up!


This thing is REALLY long.  One side is rounded dimples, the other side is raised brush-type projections.  Bought it for my husband’s shower because it looked fairly indestructible and he seems to be able to destroy pretty much any type of back scrubber.  This thing is thick, has some heft to it, and has sturdy grips at either end.  My husband was definitely more impressed with this one than some of the others I’ve handed to him for use in the shower.

So, after his first shower with it I asked him how it went.  He looks at me and says “I’m not sure I’m using it the right way, but it works pretty good.”  And that was his idea of providing feedback on how it worked.  Of course, that’s not enough….especially when it starts with I’m not sure if I’m using it right.  Turns out (after tons of questioning, Good Lord it’s like bath scrubbers had suddenly become highly confidential state secrets) that it didn’t work all that well as a back scrubber for him.  He didn’t like that you have to lather up your back with a loofah or washcloth first and then use the back scrubber.  He tried to put soap on the scrubber and use it to wash his back but the soap just ran down between the scrubbers and he couldn’t build a lather up.  So he tossed it on the shower floor and was going to tell me that it didn’t work.  But then he decided to see if it would work to remove the callused skin on his feet.  Apparently it did.  He started by just leaving it on the floor of the shower and rubbing his feet back and forth on it, and that worked well.  But then he grabbed the handles and put some tension on it with his foot and moved it by using the handles.  Apparently this worked VERY well.  So well that he had brought up the brush he usually uses in the shower for his feet and threw it in the garbage.  (He said it needed replacing anyway.)  He wants to keep this one in the shower to keep using it on his feet & is completely excited that he doesn’t have to bend over and contort himself while scrubbing his feet anymore.  He still needs me to find a back scrubber though…….


I am always walking around barefoot. Not a big fan of socks, except in closed toe shoes, hence the dry heels. I used this religiously every night for about 1.5 weeks. I put it on, then put on socks at night (this is torture for me, by the way). While it is working and my heels are nicer, this has not "healed" the cracks (which were and are not that great or noticeable). It's definitely made my heels look better but no "healing" there.
I have also been having trouble with an awful looking elbow for years (cracked, bleeding skin and nothing's been able to heal it). I put this on and it's helped tremendously. It healed in within a few days. The only trouble is that I have to keep on using it, otherwise the dry skin comes back.
I guess  the skin on the heels is so much thicker that it may take longer to heal than the elbows. I don't know. I have used other products for my feet and they work just as well as this.
In the end, paying $9.95 for this little thing just to use on my elbows - I don't know that it's worth it. As for the feet, you can get a $2 tube from Walgreens and you're better off.

U P D A T E: Three weeks of continuous use, every single day, sometimes three to four times a day, has not "improved" my cracked heel (I only have issue with one). It still works for my elbow, but if I miss a day, my dry elbow comes back with a vengeance. I will definitely not be purchasing this again.

2nd UPDATE: I've been using this for almost two months now, as directed. I am almost out of this product and nothing has really improved. The cracks are still there (just softer looking). In fact, another issue has propped up; tiny bits of skin on the bottom of both my feet are "peeling off" so badly that it bleeds under them. I have stopped using this product and I am going to see a podiatrist. I don't know if it's a direct result of using this, but I haven't used anything else on my feet other than the heel repair.


Okay so let me first say I didn't buy mine from Amazon.  I bought mine through eSalon's Match-Up program (3 products per shipment for $30, the first month is $15) I ordered the Big Love Shampoo, Big Softie Conditioner and, Get Lifted Root Lift Spray.  I have her fine thin hair so I am always on the lookout for products to boost volume without breaking the bank. I have tried all sorts of products, everything from Living Proof, to Nioxin, Aveda's Invati line, Redkin, Purology, etc.  Now, I'm not saying the products from the other lines don't work, a lot of them are great, but they cal also be pretty pricey. I already use eSalon to color my hair (if you haven't tried them yet, you should) and their regular shampoo/conditioner packets they send along with your hair color are great (and smell amazing).  But I need VOLUME, not southern beauty queen volume, but volume none the less. So! In comes Big Love & Big Softie. For $15 for my first order I couldn't say no. Both the shampoo and conditioner are SUPER thick. So thick I had a little trouble getting them to pump out of the bottles. I was worried that something so thick would just weigh my hair down and it would have been a waste of money. I WAS WRONG.  The big test for me is "second day hair".  Most volumizimg products do well the day you wash, and that's great.  But, what about the next morning?  The answer, NOPE.  I'm on my second day hair as I wrote this and it still has some decent volume to it. I can't swear it's just the conditioner, but the shampoo/conditioner/root lifter combo worked really well. I would recommend it. Especially if you do eSalon's Match-Up.  Three salon quality products, of your choice for $30 is nothing to stick your nose up at. Ill be ordering it again for sure, next time with their Volumizing mousse (just to give it a try too).

TL/DR:  Give it a try, it's a very thick formula, but it works and it won't break the bank.


I've tried to transition from chemical based sun screens to more mineral based. The main issue I ran into was that they're super oily (not what I want on my face all day). I read reviews that this one would absorb better, and (bonus) act like a primer. All of that seems to be true, however 2 complaints. One tactile, and one visual.
Perhaps it's a side effect of the mineral aspect, but I can feel this sunscreen on my skin. Not as an oil slick in the crevasse of my face, but rather as a layer permeated into the surface of my skin. It doesn't simply wash off at the end of the day, and requires a somewhat exfoliating wash. I've been getting away with mild cleansers and a good face cloth  wipedown.

Visually, it does blend in with my (super pale) skin after a few minutes wait. However it also catches on any dry patches (forehead, nose, etc.) and looks a little... unpleasant on close inspection. I'm inclined to believe this is an aspect of the primer element. I don't normally wear primer, or foundation. So maybe I'm just uninitiated and this kind of reaction is normal. It's definitely not my favorite thing, but it is relatively minor.

So far it's working, and I feel good about what I'm putting on my skin and it's environmental impact. Those are major pluses in it's favor. :D

*Update*
after revamping my skincare routine I find I like this sunscreen more and more. It was catching on any rough spots on my skin, but with a improved moisturizing routine that hasn't been a problem. Instead I feel like it acts as a light primer and it's more than enough "makeup" to get me through the day. You do still want to be sure to wash it off in the evening. But that's all sunscreens. I like that this not only gives me protection, but also evens out my skin tone and lightly covers any blemishes. It's not a replacement for foundation. But if you're like me and usually go bare face, it feels just a little extra nice.


These work great at keeping my lips smooth and soft. I lick my lips a lot which in turn leaves them dried out often, this does a good job of replenishing the moisture to them. I also like to wear matte lipsticks which are notorious for dehydrating the lips and this counteracts that, in fact I even wear a light coating of this under my lipsticks. I like that this doesn't have an overly greasy texture or appearance when applied. It only gives a slight glisten to the lips and it's not too thick.

The smell is kind of herbal or maybe slightly minty but it's very light and not noticeable. It does eventually go away after application if you happen to not be a fan of the scent. It doesn't have any disgusting taste either, which was a huge plus.

I think these lips balms are a great value, it comes with 2 and the containers are huge. I don't think I've seen any lip balms in this large of a container. Best of all, the ingredients are all natural and petroleum free.

The only complaint I had is that it's fairly hard, I have to use my nail to break it up and scrape a small chunk out. It melts on your lips and applies easily once it's out but it's kind of a pain getting out the container. You COULD just rub your finger across the top but that took forever since I would only get a small amount that way.

Overall I am pleased with the quality and amount of these lip balms. I would absolutely purchase this brand again in the future.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way compensated and have no incentive to leave either a positive or negative review. These are my personal thoughts and opinions on this product. I try to answer all the questions I'd like to know as a shopper. I hope this review was helpful to you, if any part of my review was unclear or you have a question on this product I'd be happy to answer in the comments.


I've tried A MILLION  eye brow pencils in my 63 years they'either too soft to hold a point or so hard ,they had to be " dug" into your face in order for you to be able to make the little lines that actually look like "hairs". It seems that nowadays the young girls are drawing their brows in with a black ,Sharpie ( ! ) so....unattractive and fake looking!  I use the hazel color  AND dark brown color  because when I married my ( then, recently graduated from a 4 year  art college)  Husband , he helpfully pointed out that ALL hair is actually a combination of hair colors so drawing your brows on with just one color is NOT the most natural look you can achieve . After filling in my ( sparse ) brows with feathery short strokes (to simulate hairs ) ,I dust ( lightly ) with face powder ( the powder clings to whatever hairs you have,creating the illusion of more  brows) and then finish by brushing "Gimme Brows" or " Anastasia' s" brow gel ( mixed with a little clear mascara )  to lighten up ( color- wise ) the. dark brown gel for a more natural look. I am Hispanic  with dark brown hair but I don't believe that the " drawn on with a magic marker" look ( that many of my fellow Hispanic women seem to favor ) is very attractive or natural looking, unless you're trying to look like the legendary comedian Groucho Marx.I went to a plastic surgeon this week to discuss somel liposuction and he said " you have great brows" I laughed and informed him that they were 30 percent drawn on, wow pretty good if I fooled a plastic surgeon !  THE BOTTOM LINE: THESE PENCILS ARE FIRM ENOUGH TO SHARPEN TO A POINT THAT ACTUALLY " HOLDS " THE POINT BUT SOFT ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE WITHOUT HAVING TO " FIGHT" WITH THE PENCIL IN ORDER TO DRAW WITH IT- DID I MENTION THE ARE INEXPENSIVE? !


I have been wearing crochet braids as a protective style for a few years now. However, while I love the versatility I get with crochets, without damaging my hair, re-installing the braids over the weekend became a bit of a time suck. I decided to look for a wig that would serve as a transitional piece, that would look natural and still afford my own natural hair protection be allowing me to keep my hands out of it.

Enter this wig. I had never worn a wig before, though I had bought a few, which looked a bit fake, so I to tuck them in a closet. I even bought the half wig version of this unit, but it was too much of a hassle to get my hair to blend with that wig's texture. So when I saw this full wig on offer, I got a bit excited. I watched a lot of Youtube tutorials and reviews before taking the plunge to purchase it. All the while skeptical that it would look as good a reviewers said it does.

As I said, this was my first time really trying a wig. I am such a wig novice that I had the wig on wrong when I first tried it on, without realising where the part was, and was not really impressed. However, once I put it on correctly, I saw it had serious potential. The left side part was a bit odd, but I quickly overcame that once I tweezed it a little bit and cut a few strands to create the coveted "baby hairs" to blend with my own. Then I applied some concealer and powder to the part, so it more closely matched my own scalp and voila, a wig that is so fabu, that I want to buy a second one as a stand by.

The texture is natural looking. Like I blew out my own hair and then put some flexi rods in to create large spiral curls. I chose not to mess with the curls too much because I want to avoid tangles and matting. I figure the curls will loosen up with time. The wig is lightweight, yet the hair is thick enough that you never see the cap beneath. It really looks like my own hair, like it is growing straight from my scalp. I love it. I  just added some more hair pins to secure it a bit more, but I am happy with it. It was a great price and a good experience for this first timer.


I love using beauty products and finding new ones that are just fabulous. This is one of them. I've had facials done at a spa and absolutely love the effects of receiving a great facial. When you can do your own at home and the cost is much, much less expensive that's just an absolute bonus. You will receive this product in a well constructed Ziploc type package. I used scissors to open mine up. The product looks like a loose gray powder type clay. I used a bowl from my kitchen, a small amount of distilled water and product mixed together with my fingers to begin with.

Don't use a lot. A little goes a long way.
This mask will cover you face quite well.
It tightens up ALOT. I was really surprised at how much.
Once you remove it, your skin will feel smooth, clean, refreshed, my pores were smaller and the blackheads that I tend to get on my nose were all gone.

Overall, this mask does exactly what it says. I love this product and would highly recommend it.

*** Update 1/11/2017 - I've been using this about two times a month, sometimes twice per week. It has kept my complexion clear, my skin so very smooth and radiant. I've tried using it with the Apple Cider Vinegar using the encapsulated kind (just one capsule), with hot water and a small amount of the mask (you'll have to mix the apple cider capsule together with the water, discard a good amount of the water and then mix the mask in. The very small amount will work to cover your face. I also started using a rubberized basting brush and the mask goes on much smoother without any clumps. I found in using these steps the mask performed much better and the clumpiness was very minimal.

This is going to be the one beauty product that I will repurchase to have on hand. It has very simple ingredients and performs quite well!!

I did receive this product at a discount for my honest, unbiased review. All opinions are my own and are not influenced by anyone. I hope to leave unbiased, honest reviews to help other consumers like myself make purchase decisions.


I watched many videos in preparation of arrival of this kit and was excited to try it.  It's a really nice product to work with for a beginner.  I haven't been to a nail salon in decades and just have natural nails. Sometimes they grow out long and beautiful but too often they break and are uneven lengths.  That's particularly why I wanted a polygel product to allow my natural nails to grow and use this as an<br />overlay strengthener.  I think it will work well for that.  If you follow the directions and watch a few videos,  prep the nails and wipe off the sticky layer,  I feel this is a very good product and was lots of fun to play with on my current shorter nails.  With practice,  I hope to get better at application. I bought the glow in the dark set and I wasn't crazy about the opacity, so I painted over them.  The reason I dropped a start,  though,  was the nail forms.  The deap curve of the forms don't fit my nails very well and I was very glad I'd also ordered nail clips.  Without them,  there's no way they would have turned out looking decent.  It made it difficult to squish out the extra and clean up my cuticles before curing. Cleaning up the under side of the nail to give it a proper shape underneath was a little bit of a challenge because I didn't notice I'd gotten really thin on a couple edges. One pinky nail bubbled between the gel and form because the clip wasn't firm enough on my pinky.  These I had to patch. Some of the patches worked,  one did not (right hand pointer). I have ordered the paper forms to use in the future and hope they will work better for me.  All around I'm very happy with the glow in the dark kit and the one I tried,  really does glow in the dark!  Very cool and I think my granddaughters will love it!  I only applied them yesterday and I'm confident in my nail prep and use of base coat.  If I don't get decent wear out of them,  because I only applied yesterday,  I'll come back and update.


Growing up, my dad always told me that there are no sure things in life. For the most part, he was right, but my dad also didn't have Sure F*** cologne when he was my age.

It's no secret that a woman's olfactory perception is heightened by certain smells. Have you ever seen a chick when she gets a whiff of chocolate? It's like a pack of hyenas circling a wounded zebra. Well, that's how women act around a man wearing Sure F*** cologne.

And by "a man" I mean me.

For years, I went out to the clubs armed with nothing but hair gel and self-tanner lotion, but it wasn't enough. After numerous failed attempts with other colognes, I finally settled on Sure F*** after a recommendation from a coworker.

The first time I wore Sure F*** out in the wild, I applied a liberal coating -- upstairs and downstairs... if you know what I mean. I couldn't keep track of all the compliments I was getting from the ladies on the dance floor. Like: "Are you wearing cologne?" and "Are you the guy wearing all that cologne?"

Woah! Settle down, ladies, there's plenty of chatchi to go around!

It was INSANE! The chicks were surrounding me -- pointing and whispering to their friends. Surely discussing which one wanted to bang me the most. The cool, fresh and manly aroma is not at all overpowering. The best part is when you give a girl your shirt to wear, it's guaranteed to smell like Sure F*** even weeks later -- no matter how many times you wash the shirt -- so that girl will never forgot your name the next time she's in the mood to get down. It's the perfect bouquet to ensure that the ladies are handing their numbers (and their panties) over to you, and not some clown wearing Drakkar Noir.

Believe me when I say that this stuff is like testosterone in a bottle. I'm hardly the world's most f***able man, but with a bottle of Sure F*** in my arsenal, I'm sure to get, well... f***ed any day now.

P.S. While I'm not what you'd call a "condom-wearer," I do appreciate the FREE Sure F*** condom that came with my order. A classy touch.


I got tired of feeling plaque buildup with my tongue. I have MS and am wheelchair dependant. Standing to brush 2 minutes is torture. The MS has affected my right and dominant hand. I just can't direct a simple, regular toothbrush effectively.

After my last visit to the dental hygenist, I determined to maintain that clean, smooth feeling! I can't spend $100 on a fancy system, so after reading endless reviews of many brushes, I selected the OralB Vitality-Dual-Head as the best affordable solution.

I made a great decisionand plan to order replacement heads from Amazon.

The brush arrived in 4 days by free ground delivery. After wrestling to open the package made to send it safely to the moon, I planned to charge it overnight to get started. Much to my surprise, I didn't have to do that. It brushed perfectly, right out of the box. The handle is substantial, but easy to hold and control and not too big. The brush rotation changes to send me a signal that I've been brushing 2 minutes. I love it in all it's design and preformance aspects! I am also sight impaired. If I had one wish for the brush, it would be to have dual colors on the pad with the on/off switch. Cream on cream requires an extra look to turn it off. However, I can solve that easily with a marker.

I find myself brushing more often because of the great, thoroughly clean feeling in my whole mouth. I have an upper denture and love being able to brush my gums well. Also the task of brushing well is now easy. I love beating the system of life and Amazon sold this for $2.00 less than all other low priced retailers in my area. I called all of them.

My last three purchases from Amazon have been 5 star winners, and this includes a 32" HDTv I never thought I'd buy online.

Don't bother shopping any longer for a good brush. Click "add to cart" and do your mouth and psyche a big favor.


This is a really great quality set of brushes. I am a mineral makeup user, and struggle to find brushes that pick up the right amount of product without being wasteful. I have several brands of brushes, some purchased from amazon and some purchased piece by piece in Ulta or Sephora and these brushes are the same type of quality you would expect to find in a beauty store. You get 12 brushes and a very nicely made carrying case, I actually split the brushes into face and eye and keep the case open as holders placing eye brushes in one and face brushes in the other. I like that the seller addresses the smell issue head on, they include it in the instructions, you need to air out the brushes for 2 days and then gently wash the bristles, I find that philosophy brand face wash is what I prefer to use as a weekly washing for the bristles it really restores and removed the makeup that accumulated thru out the week. I will breakdown the brushes and how I feel they perform.
  1. Large Powder – perfect for my setting powder to complete the look.
  2. Large Angled Contour -  great for both blush and bronzer
  3. Duo Fiber – use for stippling on my powder foundation

I have had these for several weeks and I am impressed. I received these brushes at a discount in exchange for a honest review to test them and I am glad that I did.


TL;DR: Good choice if you're looking for polish with fewer harmful chemicals and a less intense nail polish scent. Not for you if you need allergy-free or scentless polish.

My partner has always been sensitive to the smell of nail polish and it seems I've developed a sensitivity as well. I tried painting my nails a few weeks back and was super dizzy and lightheaded before I finished.

After a lot of research to find polishes that don't require a HazMat suit, I came across this brand and one other. I liked the color range of Zoya better (400+!), so I ordered this kit and the color lock kit (remover, basecoat, topcoat, and dry drops - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IDHCSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Pros:

- The basecoat and topcoat both went on super easily.
- The dry drops are a little oily, but my nails were completely dry in under 15 minutes (dry enough to do things in under 5).
- The colors are gorgeous. Mia, the second shade, had almost full coverage after one coat and full coverage after two. The color also went on super easily.
- I'm only on day two, but typically by this time I've chipped even anti-chip polish really badly. So it's impressive to me that it's holding out. This kit claims 14 days, I'll update with how long it actually lasts.

Cons:

- The bottles in the Color lock kit are super tiny. The remover is travel size and the basecoat, topcoat, and dry drops are somewhere between travel and sample size.
- While they don't smell quite as bad as other polishes I've used, they still have that nail polish scent. It didn't make me dizzy, light-headed, or cough, so that's a bonus. Nor did the scent hang around or cause my partner to seek me out to ask why I was doing my nails when he was home. But it's stronger than I was expecting and was nowhere near being scent-free.

All in all, I'd recommend this. It's at least somewhat healthier than other brands, the color palette can't be beaten, and the application is great. Just know what you're getting yourself into.

Update: the polish started chipping after 4 days. Not the worst, but not the best either.


I've been using this product now for a few weeks and have had poor results.  With each use, I've applied a generous amount on the areas I wanted to see hair removal.  The first time I used it, I left it on for 10 minutes.  Very little, if any, hair came out.  It should also be noted that the hairy area had been trimmed maybe two weeks prior, so I started out with my hair already under pretty decent control.

The second time I left it on for 12-14 minutes.  A little more came this time, but the result was odd.  Despite the fact that I coated my hair with the product all the way down to the roots, it didn't come out at the roots.  Instead, it more or less dissolved the hair above the roots, leaving a ragged, inconsistent look over the area where the product was applied.

The third time I left it on for 15-17 minutes, applying a much more generous amount than ever.  Once again, the hair dissolved in patches, never all the way to the root.  Some areas were completely unaffected.  Pretty much at this point I realized that I wasn't going to get a better result than this, and, noticing that the Balm had brought my hair length down enough to do a decent shave, shaved in the shower immediately after scrubbing the product off with a washcloth.

Accusations have been levied that the positive reviews for the Bare Pair were written by employees of the company who produced this product.  This may be true, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and believe some people out there probably have had good results with this product.  I did not, this did not work for me as advertised and was a complete disappointment.  I do not have excessively coarse or unusual hair where the product was used.  I don't know what kind of hair you need to have for this to work on you, but know that your mileage may vary, so buy this product with caution!


[[VIDEOID:389c46e99dce0a9d7e6bdba91e48aae6]] I am not a professional, esthetician etc. I might have done something wrong, but I do have some experience with waxing. I did do a class on removing body hair, just for my own benefit. If you can do it better, good for you. My video was done with my left hand.

I had a small amount of hair on my legs, so I couldn't test it on fully grown-out hair. The instructions were easy to  understand. I had gloves on my hands (I didn't get them in the set); make sure to use them because this wax is very sticky. At first, the wax was a little hard to get out but, once it got going it rolled on fine. All the hairs did come up in just one pull. It was my first time with the wax roller.  Make sure to give it time to warm, especially if your package was delivered outside in the cold. I needed to wait 10 maybe more minutes to warm it up.

Before, with regular wax (using wooden applicator sticks), I was always making a big mess at home. The floor, my hands, my furnitures, toilet, everything would be covered with wax. It used to take me 2 hours to wax just my own legs as a beginner.

Now with this cute set, it is much easier, faster and cleaner. My bathroom no longer needs clean-up afterwards. I like that you can put the temperature at whatever is comfortable for you. I don't need to run from the bathroom to the kitchen (to warm the wax in a microwave). Most of the hairs did come up in just one pull (those enough long for this treatment). It's good for legs for sure! I don't know about face, but the rest of body for sure. It wasn't painful at all.

I like it. I had small spots with more portion of the product (wax) on my legs. It was difficult to remove it (the wax is strong, I put too much of it on, by accident) - don't rub it too strong with soap etc., To remove excess wax, use olive oil. from kitchen.

In general, I like it. I am not disappointed.


I use this, magic mud, once a day. I have read the  amazon reviews. Just my two cents and what i do. Mud on the brush and I take a small amount, half a pea sized amount of organic coconut oil to create a little paste. Personally i use a soft bristle brush and brush as normal. I brush with a closed mouth to keep the stuff inside, and to keep from the splash most talk about. If you brush with an open mouth, for some reason i dont get, clean up is pretty simple. A few splashes of water and a hand, washes it fown the drain. After the times up, i spit it out and rinse my mouth out with water. Swish swish spit, swish swish spit. I go back to the coconut oil and scoop some in my mouth for the oil extraction. Swish while im in the shower. The oil extraction methods i read say 20min, for the non brushed, am, stink mouth. Since i enjoy showers and water, the time is no problem while i swish away. Swishing in between the teeth and all around being careful not to swallow any. If my mouth becomes to full from the saliva, i spit some out and continue the rinse. After im done with the swish dance, im usually clean and just enjoying the water. I rince my mouth out again a few times to keep the extracted bacteria from being ingested. Before using this product and using regular flouride toothpaste, my teeth were getting worse. I looked at my teeth and would notice, patches, of enamel missing. After a few weeks, most went away. Its been a few months and noticed my teeth look much better and feel cleaner, longer. Even though i do enjoy coffee and eat foods that are darker than white, as the propaganda says, if your not whiting your not whiting statement, this method seems to work for me and is, what i think, fixing and rebuilding the damage the flouride has caused. Since we dont get the natural sodium flouride, and are inandated with hydrofluoric acid in the water, which is toxin from industrial waste, this mud seems to assist in combating the problems along with nascent iodine.

Again, just my two cents.


This is my first foray into essential oils and I'm liking it a lot. I'm using the oil in two ways: for aroma and, in theory, for its physiological properties. I like diffusers a lot but am too cheap and suspicious of additives to buy them often. I've been using this lavender oil along with some safflower oil and rubbing alcohol in my bedroom and it adds a nice, luxurious touch to bedtime. I've sprinkled a bit on my body pillow, too, when I feel like I want a much stronger dose of the relaxation.

I read somewhere that mixing it with a carrier oil (I'm using rosehip oil) and rubbing it on the bottom of your feet can help with insomnia, so I've been doing that. I don't know if it's working, but it is making my feet feel softer, so that's something. I haven't experienced any respiratory or skin irritation with this product.

The bottle is a dark brown color so that the light can't get to the oil and break it down. They sent a dropper along with the oil, which I appreciated since I didn't have others. Next I'm going to try to make some kind of reusable sachet for my drawers--I just need to figure out what scent to mix it with first.

I was fortunate to receive this product at a free or discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. I am always conscious and aware of the number of items and possessions I bring into my home and try to make mindful decisions, because The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up told me to. For this reason, I only accept items that I feel will serve me, my family, and my needs. I do not accept items that seem useless or that do not speak to me. If I post a positive review it is because I had a positive experience. If I have only positive experiences, I chalk that up to a successful exercise in mindful purchasing and decision-making. If I have a negative experience, as with any Amazon product, I reach out to the seller or manufacturer and seek assistance or replacement before deciding on a rating.


My hair type: naturally curly. Medium thickness/density. Medium/long length. Very fluffy i use no hair products. I usually blow dry it straight after a wash and it lasts for several days before I need to wash it again.

PROS:
- Smells nice. Smells like the essential oils. It's very subtle, not perfumey at all, and really I can't even smell it after my hair is dry.
- Gentle. It does not irritate my scalp
- Cleared up my dandruff/scalp rash from my previous shampoo that irritated my scalp and I was always itchy.
- Cleans well. Some natural shampoos don't seem to remove all natural oils or hair products, but this one does.
- Even without conditioner, I can get a comb through my hair. Not something I can say about most shampoos.

CONS:
- Still need conditioner. I thought with all the oils are nourishing that I wouldn't need a conditioner, but I do.
- My hair gets oily faster. When using this, I need to wash my hair more often. I used to get 4 days out of wash and now I barely get two since switching to this.
- My hair is extremely static-y! It doesn't matter how much conditioner, leave-ins or serums I apply, I cannot get the static to go away. I didn't have this problem before this shampoo.
- Price. It doesn't do anything for me that I can't get from a cheaper shampoo.

OVERALL: The fact that may hair gets greasy fast and and that it's so static-y tells me my hair is too dry. I need a moisturizing shampoo. When my hair/scalp is properly moisturized, it doesn't get greasy and I don't get flyaways. I thought this was a moisturizing shampoo with all the oils in it, but I guess they all just get rinsed away, and then some. I will not buy this again because I cannot stand static-y hair.


I love these, these are so cute and would be great for a photo-op. They are great items to put into gift bags for your bridesmaids.

I think that these would be so great during the summer, and amazing if someone was having a beach wedding!
(Also, if you are having a girls weekend  Bachelorette party, these would also be a great gift for those girls of yours, you all can wear them and match!!!! And then you can have the scrunchies for your wedding!!!)

I can see many opportunities for you and your girls to use these.

A little touch like this, can be fun and I love the heart glasses because they are so cute, but I also love the touch of humor on the scrunchies. The bridal party would love the fact that it says, "to have and to hold your hair back". It makes me smile, every time I read that! It adds abit a humor to it.

These scrunchies are extremely comfortable, my daughter usually hates scrunchies, they usually fall out of her hair easily but she seems to love these. As for the sunglasses, my daughter didn't care to much for it, she said it doesn't sit on her nose correctly but it seemed to look good on her. I actually love the sunglasses. It adds a special touch that we needed.

I would recommend these for a wedding on the beach or in the summer, or if you expect it to be a bright sunny day!

I would also recommend these as items to put into bridesmaids gift bags.

The quality seems to be exactly what I had expected and I am quite pleased.

I would like to note: You may not want go wear the sun glasses all day, but for a few hours here and there, it is quite cute and stylish.

These sun glasses and hair bows would also help coordinate your bridal party, without braking the bank. Little touches like this, really does make a difference.

(These are to be used for wedding next summer.)


I have been using Norelco shavers for 30 years at least. This was my 4th model of Norelco shaver. I have been using this shaver about 6 months. For the first time I am very disappointed in a Norelco product and I will purchase another brand soon.

The trimmer is nearly non-functional. With the old Norelco products, the trimmers worked very well and I would only occassionally have to pull out a special purpose mustache/beard trimmer to perform maintenance on my goatee. With this new 1090, I have to use a separate trimmer all the time. The location of the trimmer makes it very difficult to see where it is placed so I can't use it safely to keep the goatee whisker length in check without risking overcutting it. And the trimemr blades barely protrude from the body of the shaver which makes it nearly impossible to get the trimmer on a lone stray whisker. Now I have to to travel with 2 shavers.

Every other usage requires the shaver to be rinsed out. When travelling I have to keep the shaver in a travel case. This forces me to regularly dry the shaver with the hotel blow-dryer before I use it because it isn't yet dry from the previous day's cleaning. Every day I am either cleaning it or drying it. A real pain.

I will admit that it is light, feels good in the hand, and shaves well if you use it every day. If you skip shaving for a few days it takes many passes before it shaves all the long whiskers. I typically need to use a trimmer to cut some strays down before finishing off.

This product is not effective for anyone with mustaches or beards or someone that skips a day or two on a regular basis. Given how expensive it is, you would be well advised to find a different product to purchase.


Finally, after over a year of having these, I actually tried them out! I’ve never worn false lashes before and was hesitant to use them (obviously since I’ve had them a year without using them - lol!). I’ve seen so many false eyelashes that are so crazy over-the-top obviously fake looking. These are not that way at all. You get a generous supply of them (see photos) and they are reusable too. With the rate I’m going, mine should last forever!
I don’t have get up close vision so it was a little bit harder for me to apply them than it would be for someone who can see better. I used a magnifying makeup mirror though and did fine. The photos of the eyelash after it was applied was my first attempt ever to do this so it’s definitely not perfect but it was much easier to apply than I expected it to be. I am sure my results will improve with practice. These are secured in place with magnetic eyeliner (I guess I am pretty ignorant about these things but I had never heard of that!). The eyeliner goes on smoothly; actually better than some liquid eyeliner that I’ve used in the past. It’s a little tricky to get them in the best spot. Like I said previously though, I think this will get much easier the more times I try them. It comes with tweezers to use but it was almost easier for me to apply them without using them. Once in place, I was amazed at how well they stayed in place!
They were easy to remove and the eyeliner did require makeup remover to get it off, but it also came off without a problem.
I didn’t wear them long. I will have to get used to how they feel; it wasn’t uncomfortable, just different for me. I have very thin, light-colored eyelashes so I think I’m really going to enjoy these!
(Excuse my bad photos too - no other makeup whatsoever on and first attempt so I look pretty awful - lol But I actually love the lashes!)


I looked on here for a submariner clone. Everything was either really cheap and you know you aren't going to get much then, or more expensive than I wanted to pay.

This watch had the looks and the specs that really caught my eye. Still I debated purchasing. I thought yeah it looks nice (like the Octopus logo) and could fool a few at first glance that it's a Rolex, but in the  end is it going to be any good? Will it last?

The first thing I noticed (besides it being totally covered in plastic even the band which annoys me) is it's heavy. It has some heft. The watch is nice sized and solid. The band feels good and strong it's not cheap like on some of the lower end watches. It's as comfortable as a steel band that I've found I usually replace them with nato bands for sheer comfort. Not this one.

Love the fact it has a sapphire crystal to protect against scratches. Love the screw down crown. Love the hands. Even the lume, though I didn't get all night out of it, was much better than my Seiko 5s.

I had to take out two links and then it fit my wrist perfectly. That went pretty well and was straight forward but I have the tools to do that with so that helps a lot.

The battery for anyone who is interested is a Renata 371. I wrote the company very late on a Saturday night asking, and got a response literally in minutes. These guys are not take the cash and dash I was impressed with the response.

I liked that, and this watch so much that I'm getting another one in black, and they are the only watches I plan to wear going forward, unless I have to go to a sketchy area where a crackhead might mistake it for a Rolex and try to roll me for it. I can't recommend it enough. Very impressed. Built solid seems like it will last many years.

Also I understand why they cover everything - to keep it nice for when you get it. And as far as that goes it came in a really nice box, held securely in a quality pillow. I never keep the box but this one I kept. I'm really glad I made the leap and bought this.


I was shopping for replacement cutters and combs for a Norelco Micro Action (formerly Lift & Cut [formerly Rotatract]) shaver and noticed that for less than $10 more I could have a whole new  Norelco shaver. I was sold.

Norelco Reflex Plus shavers combine 4 features pioneered by Norelco and improved over time. Rotary heads reduce the vibration common to reciprocating shavers. Floating heads individually hug the skin. Lift and Cut blades gently pull whiskers into the cutter for a closer shave. Everything rides on a set of pivoting platforms that bulge slightly at the center of the head assembly.  The bulge allows the heads to maintain contact with the contours of difficult to shave spots like the concave hollows of the neck below the chin.

I've been a Norelco man from my first crop of peachfuzz to my current orchard of gray quills, so the first shave wasn't a surprise for my skin. It was as close and comfy as I'd expect from a Norelco.

The real revelation was the sound. The previous Lift and Cut was like shaving with a Black & Decker DustBuster. The Reflex Plus is so quiet, you can actually hear the cutters slice off the whiskers and then fall silent on the next pass over the same area. This is a real help for those times when a mirror isn't nearby. You could actually shave by the sound alone!

A somewhat poignant note: Models at the economy end of the Norelco line are now made in China and lack carrying bags of any kind. When I travel, I roll my shaver in an article of clothing, usually a T-shirt, so the carrying case is no biggie. Still, I miss seeing the words "MADE IN HOLLAND" on the bottom of every Norelco I've owned.

Times may change but at least the quality of the shave has only improved.


I ordered this bottle of Fractionated Coconut Oil by Sky Organics 16oz- 100% Pure MCT Oil (Cocos Nucifera) with PUMP. Ideal as a Massage Oil & Aromatherapy. Carrier Oil Made in USA because I always keep coconut oil in my supplies for all of my diy skin care projects. This fractionated coconut oil came quickly and undamaged. It was wrapped in a plastic bag and had both a flip top pour top and a pump.  This fractionated coconut oil is light and non-greasy and perfect for many of my diy projects. There is no odor so it doesn't interfere with your essential oils. This 16oz bottle will go a long way and since it is fractionated it will have a longer shelf life so don't worry if you don't use it all at once. Keeping this bottle in a cool, dry and shaded/dark place to help extend it even further by preventing light damage.<br />Fractionated Coconut Oil is an all-natural carrier oil that readily absorbs into the skin, making it an ideal oil for topical delivery. provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores and is excellent for dry skin and hair. It leaves skin feeling silky smooth and non-greasy,Use it to fade stretch marks, to help repair the skin, on cracked lips, discolouration patches, and even to remove makeup. If you have dry, damaged hair, it’s also worth trying coconut oil.The capric and caprylic acids work as antioxidants and disinfectants, and the low molecular weight of the oil means it can easily penetrate the hair shaft. Apply the coconut oil directly on to the hair and leave for 15 to 30 minutes. (do not leave it on overnight or throughout the day because it will start smelling nasty as the day progresses) Coconut oil can be used as a great natural shaving lotion. It creates a wonderfully smooth surface for razors, while nourishing and soothing the skin. Put a few drops in the palm of your hand and apply to the skin before shaving. Fractionated coconut oil has antibacterial properties and can be mixed with anti-bacterial essential oils such as cinnamon leaf, cedar atlas, ravensara, eucalyptus, bergamot, geranium, tea tree, thyme to create a natural treatment for wounds.


Great product, I can visibly see the blackheads have A) become very small, B) have completely disappeared, and it also C) really closed up my large pores and shrunk all of them. My skin has infinitely smoothed out, the acne(white heads, blackheads) have cleared up, and i only get the occasional blemish instead of a full on breakout. At first the deep tingly feeling was a LOT to handle(almost burned a little), so i started with small dime sized amounts and worked my way up to about a quarter size. After only a few days the tingle didn't bother me, i actually LOOK for that deep cleansing tingle to wake me up in the morning, It has become a staple of my daily morning routine.I would advise people with very sensitive skin to perhaps stay away from this, or use very small amounts until you become used to that deep clean feeling.

I also enjoy how the deep cleanse feels, with some products it felt like my skin was peeling off, you know the processed chemical burn you get with most OTC face washes. The dryness was very light, i only noticed my nose was extremely dry, to the point of peeling, when i was using this face wash in conjuction with another product i was using. i have since discontinued with the other product becuase this product does it all. No more rotuines of muliple face washes, toners, and moisturizers.

This is an all-in-one product. I'm buying more when my bottle runs out.

*Side note* I use this in the shower. First thing i do is wet my face, massage the product in and let it stay on as im washing my body, which takes a few minutes, by the time i'm done scrubbing myself i wash everything all at once. It acutally reduces my shower time. Also, on your first several times using this, perhaps cut the time you're suppose to leave it on in half until you get used to it. This only took me 3 or 4 days.

THANKS VI-TAE!


I trim my beard quite a bit because I don't want a full bushy backwoods beard so there are always little hairs EVERYWHERE!  This looked like a great solution and I wasn't keen on having suction cups on the mirror necessary for the other style of beard trimming catchalls.  Unfortunately I now know what my cat felt like with that damnable Cone of Shame after he was neutered-I mean seriously no wonder our pets hate those things.  Ultimately if you can figure out how to properly maneuver yourself into position it does do what it says, it catches the little hairs; however there are so many things wrong.  First the wires are too stiff and you end up shaving blind because you cannot see over it without holding the front 'bib' down, this means you are now relegated to shaving with one hand and that is not always possible (or you could try what my ex suggested and use a string, bungee cord or piece of rope to hold it down by tying it to a cabinet knob).  I'm not sure how big some of the people reviewing this item's heads are, but unfastening both the horizontal and vertical Velcro to get it on was fine, but removing it without getting the hair you caught everywhere including sprinkled in the hair on top of your head (that had never happened before..) was a bit of an undertaking--I solved it by only removing it in the shower thus containing the hairs in there and not all over the bathroom floor, counters and the sink.  I didn't have any trouble folding it back into the bag for storage, but I do find it very impractical for the purpose I bought it for.  I wouldn't recommend it unless you have extra long arms (if you can touch the floor while standing and not bending over) and/or your eyes are on the end of long stalks growing form the top of your head (think about a snail's eyes).  If I could send it back I would, but instead I'll just put it in the guest bathroom and suggest it for overnight guests to try out and stand back and laugh.  I'll try one of the mirror mounted suction cup catchalls next time, I now understand why they decided on suction cups...


This is the most amazing thing ever if you have Bell's Palsy.  Order it and then read the rest of my review.

Okay now read the rest of the review.

This delightful item allows you to have peripheral vision, not to mention depth perception without having to periodically cover your eye with one hand.  This is the perfect solution.  It keeps just enough wind out so that your eye stays comfortable MUCH longer than without and you can see where you are going. BRILLIANT! Don't wait - order it today!  For what it is, you might think you overpaid by a dollar or three.  For what it does, you will wish you had it in your hands immediately.

My doctor (a general practitioner didn't know enough about Bell's Palsy to warn me about the difficulty not being able to blink would bring into my everyday life. While a standard black patch was ideal for sleeping (with the eye gel naturally - I never learned proper taping) it made daily life more than a little annoying.  Little things like having to turn your head for seeing what's on that side is not the most natural thing to do when driving for instance.  This little gem is the perfect solution!

In Massachusetts this winter we had a series of single digit temperature days with high winds.  Having left my black eyepatch on the bedside stand, a jaunt from the parking garage to the TD Garden was amusing for my wife to watch as I had to keep a hand over my eye for most of the walk.I had forgotten gloves too so this sucked twice.  This arrived the next morning.and I didn't leave home (or really any part of life after my daily shower) without it.

I noticed that a few others had pointed out that the string was long.  As someone with a 7 3/4 size head, I appreciate the longer string as it was just about perfect at that size and lengthening it would have been a greater challenge than shortening it with a not was for those who used it.


Now that I bought and used the T980, my cool slacker goatee is attracting too many women. I'm not getting any rest.

Naturally, a product that causes grief should be down-rated, but I won't here because this shaver is just doing its job.

And, we all like things with "turbo" in the description, however loosely that term is applied. It makes it go faster with a cool noise, so even in a shaver that is attractive to many.

Electric shavers for beards sure beat the heck out of scissors! The Norelco has a wide range of cutting depths and my beard comes out a uniform length. I did not feel any pulling or other discomfort. The charge seems to last for days and the charger itself, like the shaver, is a decent and modern design.

The little detail cutter is easy to attach and does a great job of defining the beard area and also clipping any stray hairs under the nose where the big cutter head cannot reach.

Some people think the closest cutting position is still not close enough for that short-stubble look and that does seem to be the case. I don't want mine that close, but I understand those who do and I take off a star for brotherly solidarity. Actually, I'm sure that if it was to cut more closely, that would take it into the realm of regular shavers, an expensive world of high-tech blades and lubricants. Actually, if you press down a little, you can get closer.

The turbo thing works well. It vacuums almost every hair into the storage chamber. I didn't expect the vacuum action to work so well. I think the turbo button should be the only button, but there it is. The non-turbo setting is less noisy...

The parts detach easily and the little supplied brush works well to clean it out. The little travel pouch is nice.

The T980 works just as it should, for me, and the price is reasonable. I think it will last a long time and I am glad I bought it.

As for the women, I did exaggerate. One did make a favorable comment which is one more than before.  That is an improvement, eh?
