I was excited when asked by the vendor to test this product for free in exchange for an honest review.  I love all types of beauty products since I am at an age (47) when you start to realize that...yes...I am getting old but that does not mean I have to look old.  This product interested me as it was the first peeling gel that I have used in a long time.  Also it contains algae extracts and other goodies.

The only thing that bothered me about this product and other products (to be fair) that is sent to me free for a review is that they come with no instruction on how to use or how often.  This one came without any instructions and part of the label was in symbol/language that I do not understand.

I did go to their webpage on Amazon and followed their instructions.  In my opinion, this should be called a Scrubbing Gel not a Peeling Gel because as soon as you spread on your face and massage it, it instantly turns into grains.  My recommendation is to use/apply while at a bathroom sink so it does not make a mess.  It smells yummy (a big plus for me).  It is recommended to remove with a warm, wet washcloth but I found it easier just to rinse with water and my own hands.  The directions also say to apply SPF face cream once you are finished but this product left my face feeling smooth and hydrated that I did not want to use any other products.  Of course I use it at night so I feel ok just washing my face and going to bed.  Because I have sensitive skin, I decided that I would not use this every night, instead I use 2 or 3 times a week.  Feels like I am treating my face when I use this gel.  I received this for free however as a consumer of beauty products, I feel that the price is reasonable...nothing too outrageous!!!


I ordered two lots of these. Unlike the other reviewers I didn't get a lot of duplicates- even when buying two lots. There were a few but the majority were different. I would like to point out (though I am seeing this AFTER purchasing) the seller has listed under product description: “please note, random colors does not mean different colors, it means you will get either one color or different colors. “ So buyers just be aware, I might not have ordered if I saw that first.

Quality wise, I mean for the price and they amount you're getting you can't expect high quality. Be aware they are not made 316L Surgical Steel. If you're sensitive to metal, I'd stay away. They are externally threaded which I wouldn't recommend if your piercing is new. Internally threaded will cause less irritation. The dome shaped head can cause some irritation as well. I have found it really just depends on the ring. I've used several of them and about ¾ of them are fine but that ¼ for some reason, the dome just scratches the roof of my mouth.

I also want to warn buyers the pictures shown, don't really give a good representation of what is sent. Here's an example of the ones I received: Slut, Bitch, Cum Here, Zebra Print, American Flag, Smiley Face, Winking Smiley Face, Chanel Logo, Playboy Bunny Logo, Rolling Stones Logo, Party Girl, XXX, 90% Bitch, Yoga Ohm, Bad Girl, Evil inside, Snake Eyes, Che Guevara, Lucky Cherries, etc.

I wouldn't recommend buying these because it's really a gamble on what you're going to get and the quality isn't that great.


My hair type is at the end of the spectrum I have 4c hair which in addition to being very coily is also very course. The brush heated quickly as I needed it at its hottest 230 degrees.  I didn't expect my hair to get bone straight like using a flat iron, but I was expecting it to get close enough and it did. The first pass got it visibly stretched and 2 more passes did the trick. Three passes is using excessive heat on natural hair, but I won't be using the brush very often only for styles where I need my hair stretched. I should say after 3 passes the hair is straight it's just not silky smooth. For persons with a softer texture hair or less curls & coils, the brush should work well Great brush works well.

I received a free eBook from the vendor "Secrets of Hair styling", nice touch Carenoble. I only got around to using one of the recipes today as it's my was day. I made the avocado, egg yolk and honey mixture. This mask had my hair noticeable softer after 1 use, I'm definitely going to try it again. It may have aided in the use of the brush, but I cannot say. There are other masks or hair treatments and most of the ingredients I'm sure you would already have at home.

This brush worked reasonably well on my hair texture, as I said not bone straight, but straight. If this review helped you, click the yes button and let me know. I received this product at a discounted price for my honest & unbiased review.


i purchased these at a brick and mortar store near my house after seeing this product and how sought after it was on Amazon. I purchased a pack of 10 initially to try out and wow they are awesome. The towelette is big so I am able to cut it in 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 pieces depending on my skin needs. I don't have to use a whole towelette since I really don't wear make-up normally but still suffer from oily skin and I found that one towelette was too effective at getting rid of the oil and dried me out a little too much but that's part of the trial, testing and modifying process. But other than that I have no qualms about it. The product on the towelette smells so good and it's dual sided exfoliating/non-textured quality is really well made due to it not being too abrasive and the towelettes are made with high quality cloth fibers that don't fall apart when used more than once or twice. I have even saved my custom made cut portions after I used them and cleaned off to use another time with my charcoal foam cleanser on the exfoliating side when I feel like I want to do a little extra while washing my face. So for me a pack can go along way but with that being said I just purchased a 30 count pack just to stay stocked. Also I put a wide strip of clear packing tape on the opening of the package where you pull out the towelettes just to make it more are air tight and also for extra measures put in ziplock bag. Hope this helped.


I'm guessing that this company originally had a funnel with this kit, that you'd pour the castor oil into the mascara tube with, but, my kit came with a suction tube/eye dropper, which made the filling process, pretty easy. You just suck the castor oil up into the tube, then release the oil into the mascara tube. I chose to do this process over the kitchen sink, just in case, and it didn't take long at all, even though I was being overly cautious, not to make a mess. When the entire process was completed, I ended up with only a small amount that got on my hands. Not a big deal, at all. I have one small complaint. When you're finished using the suction tube, there's no real way to clean the tube. I chose to wrap the tube with saran/cling wrap. You could use a Ziploc bag, I'm sure, but yeah, it'd be nice if they included a sealable bag for the tube, for storage in-between use. I chose this brand for two reasons, one, the plastic mascara tube that was included, and two, honestly, I just liked the look of the amber glass bottle. I immediately curled my eyelashes, and then applied this oil to test it out. As I'm writing this, the oil is not bothering my eyes. In the future, I plan to apply it at night, before bed. I'm giving 5 stars, but, will update my review if anything changes.


I stocked up on these when I went through Basic training in San Diego in 07, finally on my last card. Shows how much I use them, But I have always had one in my wallet for the past 7 years. It is always nice to have some floss when you are out and about and you never know when you are going to be eating and something gets painfully jammed between your teeth.

Plus if your into survival/prepping, you always have some string on you with these, great for camping, first aid kits, or random handouts to friends.

AAANNNNDDD....
I hope that they don't mind that I ammend my review, but I got a piece of paper that said that I get 10 FREE Flosscards if I put a review up and send it to them.

I leave reviews for the things I really, really like, or really have a problem with. The rest I don't bother. But I really like these, so I was happy to review.

I sent my email with my review posted to Amazon to their address and the next day I got a reply saying that my 10 Free Cards are on their way.

So its like a BOGO special. I can't guarantee you'll get the same slip of paper I did, but today's date is 6/24/14 if that helps you make your decision at all.

Side note: I broke a tooth a few weeks ago which is why I have been flossing more; to prevent further decay while I have money for fillings.

But the broken tooth probably could have been prevented if I FLOSSED MORE! I used mine today at work after some celery got stuck in my teeth.


[[VIDEOID:c90a143dced07dff7222aec252715475]] Im a hair stylist that own a hair salon...I have had my hands trough hair for over 20 years, and this is by far the worst hair I have ever purchased... I made 2 orders of the 360+Bundles. When I received the hair I opened the box and saw the plastic eye lash and the weaving cap, I was not impressed with that I wanted to see the product.  I took one bundle of hair out the plastic bag and said OH HELL NAW... I ten begin to take all the hair and 360's out of the bag and said OH HELL NAW, AND WENT TO MY COMPUTER TO REQUEST A REFUND TO SHIP BACK...

See video, the hair on the yellow envelope is this hair review

Pro's: NONE

Con's:
There are way "TOOO MANY FLY A-WAYS" in each bundle. This is a big deal for me cause what if my client wanted to wear the hair flat ironed straight, it will look tacky with all the fly a-ways.

2. There are red, gold, light brown strands that over taking the bundles and closure. This is a problem if my clients wanted to be in sunlight you will see all the different color strands in the hair.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: WHEN YOU BUY HAIR WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT COLOR STRANDS IN IT, THATS AN INDICATION THAT IT IS NOT REMY AND THE HAIR DID NOT COME FROM ONE PERSON HEAD, WHICH WILL CAUSE TANGLING, AND SHORT LIFE SPAN! BUT DONT BUY BUNDLES THAT IS BLACK BECAUSE THE COLORED THE HAIR TO COVER UP THE MANY DIFFERENT COLOR STRANDS...

9A AND 10A GRADE BUNDLES SHOULD BE COLOR 1B NATURAL WITH NO ORTHER COLOR STANDS!


Very best shaving soap there is, and I've used dozens and have years of experience as well as belong to the shave forums. It has tallow so it is super slick and cushiony allowing for a maximum of comfort and protection of the blade. Skin moisturization is superb and the only soap that beats it in that area is Provence Sante IMO. Also since this soap is made in the EU it must comply with EU regulations on safety and labeling requirements. American soaps aren't regulated and they can put whatever caustic or toxic substances they want in them and even make up the ingredients. A member of Badger and Blade proved How to Grow a Mustache (now renamed Phoenix Accoutrements) shaving soap made in USA, couldn't possibly have the ingredients that it did. After that the soap maker changed the label to reflect the true ingredients. Supposedly, but there is no way to be sure. With any EU made soap you can be assured it is correctly labeled.

Some people have trouble lathering this soap but it is merely operator error. It is as easy to lather as any other soap and easier than some. I use a synthetic brush mostly and face lather exclusively. It does require more loading time with a super soft silvertip badger though.

Note on price- DO NOT buy this soap from American vendors if you don't want to get ripped off. You can find it at half the price from UK or Irish vendors and shipping is the same price.


Best thing: control lock feature. I was using a more expensive "professional grade" one and although it had a similar range of function, I was constantly accidently hitting the buttons and changing the settings while rolling it to do waves. It was very frustrating and I really started to dread using it. This one solves all that with one easy press and hold of the lock button for a few seconds.

It's also well insulated and I can hold the barrel with my gloved hand no problem, but I have had a few close calls getting my fingers too close to the inside, so always wear the gloves with this. The set only comes with one, but that's pretty standard. If you don't already have another one, I recommend getting one and wearing them on both hands if you're doing waves.

It feels light-weight so I thought it might not work very well, but it actually curls even faster than my old one and it being lighter is a huge bonus because it's a lot of work curling my whole head. For reference, I have very thick straight hair in a shoulder length shaggy bob style and it takes me about 15 minutes to do my whole head with this (6 section rows and about 5 sections per row for about 30 separate curls) my old one took me about a half hour and that wasn't even doing as thorough of a job.

Overall, for $50, this is performing like an $80 tool and is my favorite straightener I've tried so far. Nice that they include some bonus clips, section comb, and a storage bag as well.


Color me PLEASED!! After having my nails done with gel at the salon, damage to my nails not to mention damage to my pocketbook as well, I have been on the hunt for the perfect polish for an at home manicure. The polish needed to be lush, vibrant, easy to apply, fast drying and resilient. I know, I know, asking too much??  Orly Color Amp'd fit the bill perfectly.  A nice palette of colors ranging from pastels to dark and rich. The polish feels somewhat silky, very easy to apply. The brush is amazing! It is contoured to the shape of a nature nail with a nice curve at the tip so you can get in close to the cuticle without a lot of maneuvering. It is a thicker brush which fans out nicely and allows the brush to hold enough polish to paint a nail without having to go back to the bottle. The directions suggest waiting 8 minutes to allow the polish to dry which I do between each coat. Once the clear coat (make sure you buy the Orly Color Amp'd topcoat!) dries, I am off and running. No nicks, smudges...nothing. Every couple of days I swipe a coat of the topcoat on and my manicure can last 10 days. And, I am not a princess; I am cooking, cleaning, gardening and this polish holds up. One IMPORTANT note: the first time I used it, no basecoat ( basecoat is in the polish itself), two coat of color and the topcoat. Next day....chips!! ARGH. I went to Orly's website and found the answer. Alcohol. Yep, swipe your nails with alcohol before you polish, even if you just used remover and washed your hands. USE ALCOHOL. Works like a charm! Now what are you going to do with the extra time you have from not going to the salon??


First, I am a beard oil connoisseur.  I have tried dozens of quality (and not so quality) beard oils.  In my years I have learned that I MUST have clean all-natural oils. Meaning, no artificial ingredients or chemicals. Fragrances must be naturally derived.  If you'd like a recommendation, I'd be happy to oblige.
Now...I will say that the scent of Apothecary 87 Original Scent is great. It's really good. THAT is why this is so disappointing.
I feel I need to bring notice to sneaky ingredient descriptions. Apothecary 87 makes no claim to being organic, no. However, it does state on the website that it has " high quality Ingredients."  Well, what ingredients are these?!
I asked them on their FB Page. I asked them for a list as well as particulars about parabens, etc. The only response I could get from them was about what the scent was similar to. When it came to the ingredients, nothing. They wouldn't reply to questions about ingredients.
So now I'll tell you that when my beard comes in contact with any artificial chemicals in beard oil, my skin will develop a mean case of Folliculitis barbae.  It takes antibiotics to get rid of it. It gets so irritated and there are so many bumps my skin becomes raw.  The opposite of what beard oil should do.
I've used Apothecary 87 beard oil two times. Each time, my skin was clear prior to application.  The following days I had the worst case of folliculitis
 develop. I discontinued use after one application and had to remain oil free for weeks.
So, if you are sensitive to chemicals, especially those that you as a customer are not made aware of, steer clear of Apothecary 87!
It may smell great, but it's not worth the results.


I kept hearing about the original, but could not find it anywhere in a color I wanted (black or red).  Saw this as a well reviewed alternative, and figured I'd give it a try.  First of all, if you have are used to finger detangling or using a large tooth comb like I did, this is revolutionary.  All the shed hair is gone.  At first it is a little disheartening, but the ease with which that brush burns through tangles and curly hair...amazing.  I use mine either with a pre-poo concoction before I conditioner wash or during my first conditioner wash.  Pre-COVID I had a strict weekly hair washing routine, but that has somewhat fallen by the wayside, and I now definitely have more shed hair between stress and not weekly washing.  But...this gets it all out, no matter what.  No random hairs still dangling after the wash, after the conditioner, as you move to preparing to style.  Gone. I feel like it gets all the shed hair out, allowing me to actually clean and condition my hair even more directly.  By the time I get to moisturizing and styling, there is no hair all over my shirt or skin.  I also use the brush to make sure that my products are fully distributed, root to tip.  The only "downside" is the back bar that I think is supposed to give it structure.  It attaches easily, but sometimes by the time I get the entire head detangled, its come off.  I don't have a problem with the brush alone, and for my bra strap length, 3b/3c hair, we aren't getting caught or any snatching.  Get the brush. My sister stole my second one, and uses it for basic detangling, product distribution and re-twisting her 3c/4a/4b hair midweek. Get the brush.


I am a cosmetologist and do nails regularly. Although I use good quality tools which normally cost a bit my expectations for this set was no more then them being useful. The clippers to clip, tweezers to tweeze, filer to file... that's not necessarily the case. The clippers will cut your nails. As for the tweezers there is absolutely NO resistance. They completely close. I would def recommend anyone watching the previous video posted as a review. It's very accurate and my experience is the same EXCEPT: I did get the nippers that where pictured. They do offer some resistance but aren't sharp at all. My packaging does have some loose edges.
  When I first opened the packaging I had a piece laying in the plastic wrap which had falling out of the kit. Which immediately gave me a false hope for items saying in kit while travel if they couldn't successfully to me. I wasn't able to open the kit either. Something was stuck inside. I tried numerous time then had to tap the sides to get whatever was stuck inside to release. I did get it open to find the scissors stuck oddly inside the medium size nail clippers. I don't really understand how, but it took me a few light pulls trying to get them to come out. I wasn't trying to bend my new set. The picture shows. I also attached a picture showing the loose strings inside. I did receive this product for a discount for a non-biased reveiw. I'm questioning  if I wasted even that. I've honest got better quality at the dollar store. I would definitely not purchase again.
  Like I stated above my expectations weren't extremely high. I would spend money on better products or search for a set with more honest reviews.


I purchased this brush because I have fine wavy hair. Although different than the typical hair type this is marketed to I like to straighten my hair and because it is so fine it tends to really drag it down. If I just blow it dry while straightening it I get all the little fly away ends. I was hoping that this brush would give me the straightened look I want without making it look like I just got caught in the rain and just let me hair dry plastered to my head. I was pleasantly surprised. Because it is a brush I can use it to lift the hair is it gives it direction and straightening. It gives it a full but straight look. The fly aways are tamed with the teeth gliding through the hair without pulling. The buttons are in a place where you don't accidentally hit them. I have turned off my straightener while using it only to realize it in a couple minutes when it is no longer hot.  These buttons are placed so you can't really accidentally hit them but to turn it off you need to hole the power button so it cannot happen accidentally.
I am very happy with this brush. I even shower at night and just run this through in the morning to get my hair to look good. It is quite a time saver and I feel it is s much gentler on my hair. It does not feel as dry and it shines so nice after using this brush. I have had it for a couple weeks and tried different techniques.
I just wanted people to know that it is not just for thick curly hair.


I was excited to be approved for this promotion, I did receive this kit complimentary for review purposes. These are my unbiased opinions.

I always love to try and whiten my teeth as they are permanently yellowed from allergy shots I got as a baby so trying to keep them as white as possible is something I like to do though the kits are very costly and when on a budget it is not always practical. The Ultimate Smile kit is reasonably priced and you can get multi uses out of the trays, just have to repurchase the whitening gel.

When I first got the kit I wanted to try it right away but was a little nervous as so many of the kits hurt my teeth since I have a sensitivity problem. I read about it and it said " this unique formula has a specific balance of ingredients forming together to create a highly potent but sensitivity-proof product with proven results." So I said ok then, lets give it a try. Well lets say I am glad I did, I have not had any sensitivity with this product. I did only use it once a well for the first 2 weeks and then every day for the last 3 days and all seems ok. Best of all I can see a slight lighting of my teeth. So yes the product does work!

I do have to say that the only thing that I found in the negative was the directions, they are seriously lacking! How often do you do this treatment? How to exactly get the trays to mold to your mouth? They give you some info but not enough, I had to do read around the internet to help with the way to fit my trays properly. (That is why I gave it a 4 star rating)


This is my 3rd Waterpik device. I guess I'm like a boat person. Apparently most start out with small crafts then their needs or they think they do, and they get bigger with each purchase. Well, I started with the blue & white hand held. Then it crapped out and I got the next size up in handhelds until that one's well began leaking and then that company the Walmart uses for it's extend warranties told me that, that particular problem, wasn't covered in the 2 or 3 yr one that I paid for (what a Scam). So I ordered this one from Amazon because of the price. For $10 bucks than the last handheld one that crapped out. For the $10 DOLLARS LESS I got a stationary device where the part that goes in your mouth is so light and maneuverable that it makes mad I didn't get it yrs earlier. One reason I waited is the bathroom that I use - I thought - was too small. Yet, after getting this I can't believe the compactness is the smart way it was designed so the attachments case sets comfortably above the water well.  But not only do I get this wonderful device - they added in a SECOND WATERPIK FOR TRAVEL IN A CARRY CASE. Oh man! I'm trying very hard NOT TO SOUND LIKE A SHILL FOR WATERPIK....BECAUSE I AM NOT. I just a very SUPRISED and SATISFIED customer. I just hope it doesn't bite the dust early (like the first two).


I almost never write reviews, but feel compelled to on this one.  I took a chance on this and haven't seen any results yet.  Granted I'm not super close to a six pack, but just wanted to lose some the of abdominal fat.

Also, when I received my product, I noticed that it was sold from a Jeffrey A Bolter.

Looking back at the 5 star reviews: the first is from Jeffrey. the second from A. Bolter, the third from Adam.  And all three of these are the only reviews written by them.

Coincidence? maybe. maybe not.

Take my review with a grain of salt, maybe it'll work for you.  The smell is pleasant.  However, I won't be ordering again.

----------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE 3/11

All 3 of the 5 star reviews I mentioned have now been deleted.  Which now makes me certain that they came from the seller!

I guess the moral is you can't really trust any non-verified purchases. The more I think about it even some of the verified purchase ones might be questionable.  Clearly the seller has  seen my original review (and will see this one) and will probably verify some purchases in order to give 5 star reviews.  Sad because I guess I naively do trust these reviews on Amazon.  Going forward I'm really going to pay attention more to the 1-3 star reviews.

Just consider yourself warned.  Buyer Beware.


I have really long hair--midway down my back--and generally have difficulty getting it up in an orderly fashion due to it being really straight and fine (ie, slippery!) and me being impatient. I got interested in these various kinds of bun devices online and thru my research found this fantastic bundle! I have used very few products out of it, but here are my findings:

PROS

- The bun holders work! Especially the Korean version one--I found this to be super-fast to put up and effective! At most I have used one hairpin with it. I think the donut ones also work though I believe are better suited for slightly shorter hair.
- Everything is your hair color! I really underestimated the impact of that in the past. Generally, I would buy black hair bands or pins because those are 'standard', but this kit comes with everything already optimized for your hair color!
- Seems to have every bun making option that exists!!! This is the main reason why I purchased this kit in the first place. I found that I could buy some of the individual components more cheaply, but then I wasn't sure which would work best for me. This way, for just a little more money, I knew if a bun option was going to work with my hair, it would be in this kit! (And, again, all the pieces match my hair color!)
- Comes with a booklet with diagrams/explanations on how to use each item

CONS

- I think the only thing I would like to have is more info on how to use, maybe some video tutorials. But I am guessing I can find those on YouTube when I become sufficiently motivated:)


I know the description said for thick hair and I have fine, thin, silky hair that is long but I like wearing my hair up at times. I have yet to find anything that stays. I have tried pins, combs, clips, barrettes, and some gizmos I don't even know what they were called but claimed to hold hair. I can't even find ponytail holders that won't slide down. When these clips came this morning, I figured no way would they work. If you are looking at a side view of them, they don't even close flat and tight, they have 3 teeth at the top that close and just one toward the bottom, the rest is open (see photo). Then there was this clear cap thing which does fit over the top and goes down the sides, they called it a lock but I didn't see what good that was. Then I tried them! That clear plastic thing also curves over the tip so hair can't go out that way and it is a lock to hold it open with a flick of the finger (see photo and note that I am not even holding the end that opens it) so my other hand is free to hold my hair in a bun. I had my hair up all day and it still looks like I just put it in a bun. I normally would have had to re-do it at least three times by now. With these clips, looks are deceiving because they do hold my hair in a bun great.<br />*I received this product either free or at a discount for my unbiased review.


I have just "had it" with my second 7140XL.  I bought both for $29.95 on sale at CVS.  While it shaves good, there are two problems. The first is that the "charged" light does not go on when fully charged.  Morever it does not hold a charge very long.

The major problem involves cleaning this razor. I have shaky hands and fingers. Other than rinsing with hot water, one must remove the top lock and then clean each head.  With my first copy, I could not get the top lock back on. Moreover two of the plastic circles about the heads fell off. So did two wires that fit delicately into plastic parts on the lock.
I finally threw it away.  I have been a Norelco user all my life and this was the first time encountering such a problem. My friends could not put it together again.  On Sat. Dec. 29, I turned the lock to release it. In doing so, two of the protective plastic circles again fell off as did one thin small wire clip. I could not put the razor together again.
The second razor is less than five months old.

Those with steady hands and fingers can do better.  This particular unit seems to be too cheap vs. other models.  There are no Norelco shops within 150 miles.  I am going to try and get CVS to give me a refund. Then I will look at a different brand.  The basic Braun unit has the heads
on so only the metal cover needs to be lifted off, a simple process.

If you have shaky hands or fingers, think twice. Also, the indicator when the razor is fully charged should go on.  In such cases, Buyer Beware!


I was expecting the scent from this to overpower me but to my surprise it doesn't. It has a faint sweet smell but you kind of have to really strain smell senses to get anything out of it. You can add essential oils to it to make it have more of aroma but then I felt like that would defeat the purchase. However, there are a lot of individuals who prefer a stronger base scent. I am pretty chill about how strongly something smells unless it is coconut or pumpkin. I poured some of this into my shampoo bottle and let me just say that WOW! I have been able to tell a difference in my hair! It is full of bounce, it is shinier, and I have not been scratching my scalp as much. Another use that I have gotten from this sweet oil, is that I massage my hubby's knee. He hurt is at work a few weeks ago and where he works third, he doesn't really have time to attend any therapy. So after he gets out of the shower, I will pour a little in my hand and rub my hands together to warm the oil. Then I will apply it to his knee and massage his knee for him. He has enjoyed it and has stated that it feels a little better. Of course it isn't going to cure him but the massage and working of the muscles is helping him. The oil allows me to have that warm friction and also moisturizes his knee. You can also make a homemade scrub with this oil, do an all over massage, and to be honest the list is endless due to the diversity of almond oil.

I did receive this item for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. That is exactly what I have provided, all of the statements are true and my own. I am in no way affiliated with this seller, my feedback is due to my own personal use of the product.


The color was different (blue with black bristles) and the bristles feel a little "sharper" than my 20 year old cream colored Goodys Brushes.  I was looking for a Goodys Brush For my son because he likes mine so much.  (We both have longer hair than his mom)  These brushes are the best brush for guys with long hair.  The design prevents any "catching" as you brush out knots.  Brushes with little "balls" on the tips of the bristles, get caught in knots. Then the little balls pull off leaving uncomfortably sharp bristle tips.

The "Original" Goodys Brushes I have, have lasted since 1993.  I have two large ones and a number of miniatures.  Their design, one of simplicity, has allowed the to last 23 years with only minor bristle breakage.  The bristles are wider at the base and tips than the newer brushes; and the bristle tips are rounder than the newer bristles.  The new bristles are black in color, compared to the opaque bristles of the original.  Not being sure about the composition of the bristles; I am unable to tell you if they will last as long as the originals.

All in all; my son is very pleased to have his own Goodys Brushes which are distinguishable from mine.  Hopefully we will get twenty years out of the new ones.  If nothing else; the price is right if you buy in bulk.  Six of these should, barring loss, last a lifetime.


This hair....OMG this hair!! I am going to be serious with you, I had my doubts about purchasing this hair online but I took the chance and I am SO happy that I did! I bought a wig from my local hair supply store earlier and compared the two side by side. Premier's wig SHAMED the other by a mile and I paid almost the same price for the other! The only things I can truly be honest about as far as criticism are the knots and size of the cap. I would have liked for the knots to have been bleached but it is not that bad considering the color of the lace matches my own scalp pretty darn well. The cap was a bit snug but I also had some chunky flat twists in my head. I will try it again with smaller braids so it will fit better and have a little more room. Also I need to note that if you want to switch parts with the wig, a little work needs to be done to get it just right. The standard parting was down the middle like the picture. The texture matched PERFECTLY with my own hair as when it is straightened. The density provided enough to feel sleek yet full like a fresh silk wrap on permed hair. I ordered the 16 inch in #1B and it definitely was longer than I expected it to be. This way I could customize the length to make it shorter if necessary. I was also pleased to see that it was in layers like real hair. The bonus eyelashes and combs with wig caps are also A+ in my book. Once I get some wear into it Ii will update with a future review and maybe pictures. I will DEFINITELY be ordering from Premier again in the future. Maybe a shorter curlier wig next time. Thank you Premier Lace Wigs!


I work with my hands a lot and have fairly tough skin. Normal lotions and creams don't really work. This kit is the full package, starting with hand cleaner that works hard to get dirt out of every area of your hand and fingernails and works well when used with a brush. You also get the healing hand cream which was softer than I was expecting but it's really an amazing product that helps soften tough skin and provides a lot of moisture to help heal cracks.

The final product is the barrier skin cream. This is more of a protective cream you apply once you have your skin where you want it. It protects your skin and helps prevent cracking and dryness. All three of these products are fantastic and have been working so much better than I expected. I had heard of this brand before but never had a chance to try it until now and I'm a big fan. I think my favorite product is the healing hand cream. It's the most useful for me and really works fantastically to heal my dry skin, especially in the winter when it's especially dry where I live. The other products are also good but I'm positive once the healing hand cream is used up I'll be purchasing more. Great product, made in the USA and has a real quality look to both the packaging and product. I should also mention there isn't a lot of scent at all to these products, they just do their job and don't try to make you smell a certain way which I really like.


I was really excited for this product and thought it would be great not only for myself but for making custom temporary tattoos for my seven year old daughter. First of all, I only received two sheets with I thought would be plenty since I planned on printing multiple small tattoos on. Due to the lack of instructions with this product two sheets is not enough you need at least one page just as a "trail" page. Once I finally figured out on my own how to use these tattoos sheets I didn't have any issues with placing the tattoos and they last for a few days to a week at least depending on where the tattoo is placed on the body. The reason I am giving this product only four stars is because of the lack of directions, I feel like if you buy a product the least they could do is place a single sheet of paper with the product which gives detailed instruction on how to use it. Other then the lack of instructions this is a really great product and works well.

I received this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest, fair and unbiased review. All statements and opinions in my reviews are my own personal opinions about the product and its performance and are in no way influenced or obligated by the seller, or the fact that I received a product at a discount for testing purposes. This is a required disclaimer but it does not make my Amazon product reviews any less truthful or valid. I was given ample time to test and evaluate this product thoroughly before composing this review.


I have purchased a lot of faux hair buns/extensions/ponytail scrunchy type pieces and I have got to say that this piece is hands down the best one I have ever gotten!

The "hair" is beautiful. As with all hair pieces, it is a bit shiny right out of the bag and isn't wearable like that - not if you want it to look real anyhow!.  I always start by brushing the hairpiece a bit and adding some dry shampoo to dull the shine a bit and make it look more like my own hair.

I purchased this in the long, curly one piece extension - almost like a curly boa. It is long! Too long for everyday use for me, so I did carefully cut about 8-12 inches off of it after I took these photos and tried again. I purchased it in the natural black which was perfectly matched to my own box dye black hair.

What I like best about this piece is the versatility of styling. I wrapped it twice around my little nub of a ponytail (I have chin length hair) carefully securing it with bobby pins along the way. If you want this to stay on at all, you are going to need bobby pins and a lot of them!

I continued by threading the rest of the extension through what I had already put on and let this drape a bit down the back to create some volume for my headscarf. That's when I realized I had to cut it a bit. I would have had to loop it around twice more to set it in place - but that would have been way too high for everyday use. A special occasion might warrant that much extra volume, but certainly not a day running errands.  So cut it I did and it worked perfectly.

I highly recommend this product for someone looking for a nice quality hair extension that is easy to use and offers almost endless possibilities!


I like this hair dryer.  I chose it because it uses less energy than most (1200 W) and I've been trying to reduce our bill.  However, I got more than I hoped for.  It also is a much cooler hair dryer.  Generally hair dryers use some combination of two methods for drying: heat and air speed.  This one has a more powerful fan but cooler heat settings than other dryers I've used.  It dries really quickly without heating up the entire bathroom.  I like that, especially in the summer.  There's nothing worse than sweating off your makeup while trying to dry your hair.

My natural hair is thick, fine, mostly straight, and shoulder length. This dryer does a good job with drying and styling as long as I keep brushing as I dry.  Otherwise the powerful fan can tangle it.

The description says it has two heat settings, but it also has a third temperature setting which is no heat at all.  There are two speeds and it comes with a diffuser and two different sizes of concentrator nozzles.  It weighs 1.3 pounds and doesn't tire my arm out.  I used a sound meter to measure the volume and it measured at 63 decibels, about the sound of normal conversation at three feet.  For comparison I also measured my old Conair dryer and it was 73 decibels, about the sound of busy traffic.  So, the Xtava was definitely quieter.  The cord is long and thick so it makes storage a little more challenging and it definitely doesn't make a good travel dryer.  However, overall I am very satisfied with this dryer.


I had a set of Wahl clippers that lasted for over a decade. I finally got a new pair of clippers and through the old clippers away. I miss my old Wahl clippers they were a super workhorse set of clippers. I had no idea that Wahl even made shavers.

I have had quite a few high-end electric shavers, and they all have the same problem, they just don't shave as close as a razor. The positive thing about electric shavers is that they are easy to use for quick touch ups and convenient shaves when you don't want to mess with water and creams and lotions.

This Wahl shaver, in particular, is pretty nice. It shaves about as close as other electric shavers, which isn't as close as a manual razor, but with repeated use and going back and forth, it is better than no shave. Some type of pre-shave lotion, like Williams Lectric shave, helps a little.

Still, this is a pretty decent shaver. It charges fast and holds the charge for a long time. The top pops off easy to clean the blades. You can use the provided brush or just rinse it off with water. You can also use it in the shower or wet/dry shave. The directions say not to submerge it under 3 feet of water.

It also has a shaver that pops up for sideburns or whatever you would want a clean smooth line on. Bottom line this is a pretty good shaver.


I have tinea versicolor that comes back seasonally. My doctor told me to use dandruff shampoo on it but that burns my skin and didn't work at all anyway. I just started this along with the liquid treatment.  Neither caused any irritation or burning. I used the treatment yesterday after I showered with the soap and I showered using the soap again today. IT IS ALREADY GOING AWAY! I cannot believe it. I wish I took before and after photos. My spots were red and itchy and even raised some and I had it across both shoulders and a little on my back and a few spots on my torso under my breasts and down my sides. I have had it for years and literally the only other thing that worked was prescription Diflucan but no doctors will prescribe that for tinea so I have to lie and say I have a yeast infection to get it. This works! My spots are barely visible already! I am hoping I can use it as a preventative maybe once a week after it clears up.  It has also helped some rosacia on my cheeks and cleared up my breakouts. Sulfur works great for adult acne as well in case you did not know. The smell is not bad at all and not noticeable after the shower. I did notice that it tarnished a silver ring I never take off even in the shower, but it came right off with silver cleaner so just remember to take off jewelry. I wish I had known this existed years ago. I am ecstatic! Get both!


So don’t...

Product.  The price was good and had great reviews which is why I ordered 3...units.

I had them for about a month before using them.

This weekend—I ‘happily’ brought them out to use and ‘angrily’—threw the buffer blocks...in tha’ trash.

Quick.

These are HORRIBLE!!!!  I don’t know how these little ‘monsters’ garnered almost 5 stars????

They DO NOT have the much needed ‘grit’ and if they did—it ‘melted’ (I’m thinking during ‘heating’) to a slightly ‘textured’ yet EXTREMELY ‘slick’ surface during the manufacturing process.

Rendering them completely USELESS because they just ‘weirdly’ sliiiide— across the surface.

I was so ‘heated’ with this brand.  The ‘boards’ are not so bad...but I would NEVER purchase anything by ‘Mr Tweezer’ (or whatever it’s called)—again.

Every pack was like this.  I’m telling you right now.

Don’t get caught up lookin’ at tha’ colors and like the ‘stripper-chick’ in the 1st ‘Independence Day’ movie (who was standin’ on top of the building)—staring at the space ship talking bout:

“oooohhhh.  SO pretttyyyyeeee” (yeah...she died)

Moral:  Don’t let those pretty bright colors fool you.

Just....don’t.


My package was shipped perfectly. Opening the packaging was easy as well. If you take one color capsule and take your time opening it, you will not have to use the entire capsule. I used half of a capsule for 3 applications. I used it 3 times back to back. I like dark eyebrows because my hair is black. So this will work great for someone who loves dark brows. To make things more easier for application I used an eye pencil to create the brow shape I want. Then I went in with the brow brush that comes in the kit and put the dye on my brows. This creates symmetry and allows you to create whatever shape you want. This is a great product for sparse brows or brows needed shape and definition. This kit has everything you need. Just wipe of with water, check your brow shape and reapply if needed. And as with any chemical process you should do a patch test first to see if your skin can handle the process and check for any reactions. I have included 2 pics. The first one is what you will receive with your kit and the second one is me while using the product. One eyebrow is done and wiped and one has the product on it. Side note...I have thin sparse brows and I create my brows with this wonderful kit. No more tedious eyebrow work for me. I was not paid nor did I receive this item for free or discount. It just worked great for me and I will continue to use this for years to come.


Until this product, I have hated all types of sunscreen. They smell terrible. The white color takes awhile to work into your skin. Even then, you still have a hint of the white sunscreen left. The consistency is that of a gunky goop. As a redhead, I have become a sunscreen expert over the years. So many products don't provide enough coverage and still leave me burnt.  This sunscreen has solved all of those problems and added extra benefits that make this an necessary item to have.

After purchasing, this sunscreen arrived very quickly. When you squeeze the sunscreen out of the bottle, you notice the light brown tint to it. The consistency is a very smooth even cream that spreads with ease over your skin. The tint to it enables me to easily see where I have applied it. What I didn't realize until I first used it was the makeup application of this product. I can actually use it as a foundation as well as a sunscreen. When you apply the cream to your face, it provides an even tone throughout it. It doesn't leave that heaviness that most foundations leave either. You honestly don't realize that you have anything on in the first place. As a woman who likes it to appear that she has no makeup on, I really enjoyed the double use of this sunscreen. The smell is like a very light lotion smell. Not even close to the strong smelling sunscreen that other products have.

Overall, I am highly please with this. It has become an item that's daily used. I did receive this product at a discounted rate for my honest and unbiased opinion, but that does not discount the amazing benefits to this outstanding product.


I have four helix piercings that I’ve had done over the past two and a half years. I’ve tried literally everything for aftercare, but have been using NeilMed Piercing Spray and Urban Releaf Solution (which I still love) that I’ve been getting here on Amazon. At my last refill for the spray, Amazon  happened to be out of stock and it’s not something I can get here locally, especially with COVID and our piercing shops closed. I came across this one which had good reviews, and while I was waiting for it to arrive, one of my helix piercings that’s a cranky little pill, started to flare up and became super painful. I’ve had problems on and off with this one and when it gets irritated, it gets real nasty with infection/blood leaking out. This spray arrived and within two days, it was healed and back to normal! I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have finally found something that really works. I love that it has a cooling/soothing effect on contact which puts out the painful fire. I still like the Urban Releaf solution and recommend, but it’s kind of a pain to use when you have multiple piercings because you have to soak each one with a cotton ball for five minutes. This product is super easy as it’s a spray. The bottle can be tilted at different angles while spraying the solution, making it even more effective and easy to use. Highly recommend if you have some hard to heal piercings. It really does work.


I've tried multiple magnetic lashes in the past (upper/lower magnetic pairs, and magnetic liners) but the magnets can always be seen and not at all easy to apply.  HOWEVER, 1 year later, here comes this product.  They have figured it out and perfected it!  I read all comments and reviews before purchasing and discovered all are true.  Here are my lessons:  1st: make sure you apply your mascara before or after applying the magnetic liner.  I didn't do that and ended up pulling the magnetic lashes off with the mascara brush.  2nd: Fit the lash you want to use to your eye. You'll want to see where to start it and end it.  3rd: Shake and apply the liner ONLY to the length and desired placement on your lash line.  Make sure to apply liner as close to your lash line as humanly possible.  If you lay down a thick line, you'll regret it because the lashes will have a large area to stick, then you won't be able to move them down to your lashline without stripping the liner off.  You'll have a noticeable gap between your lashes and the magnetic lashes.  4th: WAIT until the liner is COMPLETELY DRY.  It's a much better application!  5th: The kit comes with an applicator, but it's METAL!  If you get too close to the magnets, it'll stick to the applicator and then you'll either disrupt your liner and have to reapply, or you'll just get frustrated.  I have a plastic applicator already, so I used that.  Lastly, I finished lining my eyes with my regular black eyeliner.  Once I figured these things out - POW - dramatic and TIGHT lashes.  I cant be more happy.


This is Jacob's wife writing the review of the Valentia True Glow Eye Cream. My biggest problem spot when applying makeup is the dark circles under my eyes. So, naturally, I am interested in products that claim to solve this problem. The Valentia True Glow Eye cream comes with beautiful packaging, an easy to use nozzle for dispersion, and simple to follow instructions for application. I tried the eye cream both at night before bed to see the overnight results and also in the morning before makeup application. I liked using the cream right before makeup application the best. It works well as an eye cream, but I like the fresh and well rested effect I get when I put it on in the morning. The cream feels a bit tacky to the touch a few moments after application, but this effect quickly fades as the cream soaks into the delicate skin around the eyes. I have very sensitive skin, and there was not a trace of stinging or irritation. The product has a pleasant and subtle smell. I love that this product uses great ingredients. You can tell how high quality the product is when you smooth it onto your eyes. The eye cream gets a 5 star rating from me for all of these reasons, but mostly because it simply works. It isn't magic, and it doesn't claim to be concealer, but it drastically improves the condition of the under eye area. Dark circles are brighter, the eyes look more awake, and the skin is supple and in prime condition as a base for makeup application.


Let me say first of all that I paid full price for this item.  I found it on my own.  I ordered this with some trepidation and scepticism because my hair does not hold a blowout or straightening by ceramic flat iron or basically anything else with or without product.  My hair is coarse (it needs 40 volume to dye my hair and has since I started as a teenager).  It is thick and frizzy and about 5" below my shoulders.  THIS PRODUCT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!  At first I figured that my hair would revert back after a couple of hours. It Did Not!  My hair stayed straight until my next shampoo about 4 days later with No Touchups.  I have always refused to even try to style my hair because it would take hours with every and any product or tool out there.  I am Soooo happy.  I tell all of my friends about the Eqoba Hair Straightener Because It Delivers On What It Promises.  Now after my hair dries I take no more than 10 minutes and no product to run this brush through my hair and it is fully and completely straightened from my scalp to the ends.  No split ends, ZERO DAMAGE.  I use this brush on the hottest setting of 450 degrees-again, no damage.  Not only does the Eqoba Hair Straightener straighten my hair, but keeps it straight even after 4 days, sleeping, no bed head, nothing!  And my hair is easy to comb the next day.  I AM ELATED!!  If you have any doubts-erase them now. and buy Eqoba now.  My hair is the absolute worst to deal with and now it is totally easy.


I have tried a number of lash lengthening products over the years, most provided very modest results at best.  This one is different, and I can testify that about 10 weeks after starting, my lashes and eyebrows have lengthened and thickened considerably.
It does feel a bit silly to be applying this colorless liquid in a thin line right over the lash line day after day without seeing any difference!  But around weeks 6 to 7, I could see that the base of my lashes looked darker and thicker, and that the little bald patches at the end of my eyebrows now had definition and that new eyebrow hair was growing. My lashes are now longer than when I was a teenager, and an extremely light application of mascara is all that is needed for going out, I am planning on no mascara at all in a few more weeks.  More and I might risk the Tammy Faye Baker look!
To apply, I use a good quality eyeliner brush dedicated to this purpose (no need for it to be disposable, just position it so it can air dry) and place one to two drops of solution in a contact lens solution cap.  I do apply it to top and lower lashes, sparingly but so it looks wet.  One drop is plenty for lashes, the second is mostly for my eyebrows.
I have not found the product to re-pigment the skin, nor has it created any irritation.  One bottle lasted for about 8 weeks, it would obviously last longer with a one drop application. I will be continuing this regimen, probably switching to every other day in a few weeks.  Call me very pleased!


I was apprehensive about buying an expensive trimmer, and wondered if a less expensive one would do the job of just keeping the goatee that I wanted to just the right length - just a stubble length.  I did buy some cheaper models, but they turned out woefully bad, so much that I dropped the idea of keeping a goatee and just went with clean shaven for a while.  But then I read all the great things that I read on this and decided to go for it.  BEST PURCHASE !! I can have just the right length of trim that I want, in fact, I found that the shortest trim is a bit too short, it just gives the 5 o'clock shadow - so if thats the look you want, you wont be disappointed !!  I use the # 2 length setting, and thats just right for a stubble - just enough to feel, but too short to actually grip any of the hairs.

I love the vaccuum feature, and although its not perfect vaccuum, you have to shave over the sink if you dont want stray bits of hair on the floor.. few hairs do escape the vaccuum, but use the trimmer for a few weeks and then check out the chamber, you would be surprised how much has been caught in.  the fine trimmer attachment is ok, not so great to do the fine lines of a goatee, I got to do it quite a few times, but then I suspect nothing will ever come close to the perfection a blade can offer.  This is as good as it gets !

Go for it, you wont be disappointed.


I love the Laura Mercier line, but I've found the sweet-scented lotions, like Creme Brulee, to be overpowering. I'm willing to keep trying, though, and I'm glad I did. I love the Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Crème

Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Creme comes in a heavy, clear glass jar. The silver lid easily screws off and on and the label is elegant and attached to the front of the jar.  It’s pretty and I love having it on my counter.

I'm used to the thick texture of body butter, so I was surprised by the lightness of the Souffle Body Creme. It has the texture and appearance of whipped cream--only it smells much richer! The creme goes on a little white, but once it's rubbed in you can no longer see it. My skin feels soft and smooth and not at all greasy

I find this fragrance to be much more subtle than the Creme Brulee Hand Crème, but it’s still pretty strong. I'm not certain what Amber smells like, but I definitely smell the coconut, vanilla, and sandalwood. As much as I like this fragrance, I do think it's too much for me to wear during the day, so I've switched to using it at night. I drift off to sleep to the scent of Ambre Vanille

I suspect that the Ambre Vanille fragrance isn't for everyone and at these prices, you really want to make sure that you love the scent before investing in it. The souffle texture is a nice change of pace from my usual body butter.


It really IS like a mild Botox treatment!
Ummm, I may or may not know that from personal experience, haha!
Okay, yes, I know it from personal experience.
As a little background, paracress has been long used as an anti-inflammatory and numbing herb, it's even called the toothache herb.
It also 'numbs', as in relaxes, the skin.
Guess what, that's exactly how Botox works.
While it isn't going to have nearly the same dramatic effect, I found it to be enough of the difference to where this is always going to be in my makeup/skincare bag.
Clinical trials using it in this way have indicated that it works on all but about 25% of the participants, so there's a chance it might not work for you. I'm thrilled to be in the percent that it did.
It has some of the same chemical components as Szechuan pepper, which has got to be safer than the botulism in Botox, right?

Paracress is almost unheard of outside of Brazil. This will be our little secret!
For reference, I'm in my early 60s. I've always taken care of my skin and stayed out of the sun, so I probably have fewer wrinkles than most people my age, but trust me, I've got them.

Hopefully this review will help you to make a decision about whether or not you'd like to make the rather substantial investments in this product. It's definitely a risk since it doesn't work for everyone. And I can't stress enough that it's not going to be super dramatic change. But heck, I'm excited at even small changes.

xxoo


Right now I can only give it a one star rating.  My bottle that arrived today is not an oil.  It is more like a thick, gritty paste.  Can someone please tell me why it looks like this?  I am afraid to use it and won't be trying it until I get some answers.  I am happy to update this review once I know the product is safe and it is not an actual oil.

UPDATE - After reading the super quick response from Jodi I grabbed my bottle, shook it up again and opened the lid.  It is liquid!!!  I purposely posted a picture with an air bubble in the syringe so you could see it is not thick paste.  Now I know....if this is cold it will thicken up.  But 2 hours in my 70 degree house and it is the consistency it should be.  Now I can't wait to add it to my homemade moisturizer.  Thank you so much for your excellent customer service as well.

The consistency is thicker than most oils, but it is fabulous.  I have been using it in my home made face serum recipe and I am super happy with the way my skin is liking it.  I will definitely be buying this brand again when I run out. I love it!

ANOTHER UPDATE****  Just because I love it still, I thought I should let you know.  I put 2 drops in my palm and mix it with about 6 drops  of another oil, then apply to my face.  My face thanks me!  It is very happy and doesn't break out.  My other oils??????  I use argon oil in the morning and rose hip seed oil in the evening.  Great product!


I saw this on youtube and figured I'd just try it for fun, its not expensive and I thought for lazy days I may like it.  I'm thrilled and surprised to find out how good this brow pen actually is!  For the first time in many years I did my brows in UNDER 10 minutes, with zero fuss.  I'm switching to this full time.  My brows look much more natural and soft, and it's lasted all day.  It even lasts through the night. I've been applying as directed before bed so it tints the skin underneath overnight.  In the morning I wash my face and just reapply and touch up my full brows then clean up the edges with concealer.  I'm extremely sick of a long brow routine and very excited I seem to have found a better solution!  I got #03 redish brown and its a good match to my red hair, it's not muddy and definitely has a red hue.

Update: I tested for water resistance today and went for an hour long run followed by a shower.  My brows stayed mostly intact! There was some lightening but it was easy to touch up. I didn't have any bald patches, and nothing dripping or streaking off, so I'm very pleased and updating my rating to 5 stars.  I hope they keep making this product!

Another update: I still love the first one of these I got but I ordered a second (I like to have one for my gym bag and one for home) and there is something wrong with the second one I received. The color is coming out with little spots so it's not smooth looking and it's a darker shade. Luckily it was on Prime so I can return it and try another.


As a former professional dog groomer I had a couple of large stand dryers with a very long nozzle that allowed me to point it toward the dog I was grooming so that I could hold the dog with one hand and brush with the other. I am amazed that every grooming shop I’ve been into does not have even one of those dryers and that’s why on the rare occasion when  I take my fur babies, they don’t come out looking as well as when I groom them myself! I bought A special stand that strapped in a traditional blow dryer many years ago that allowed me to work basically like the large stand dryer. But my grooming table is in the garage and it’s chilly in the winter time even with the heat lamp.  I was very happy to come across this blow dryer with the built-in brush. Of course it doesn’t work near as well as a pro stand dryer but it is darn close! Especially given the difference in price - hundreds of $$ … -But as far as it being quiet – I don’t think so!! It’s just as noisy as a normal hairdryer .  Hence the 4 stars - don’t advertise something that doesn’t exist! Of course the racket from the dryer scares the pups!  Soooo… I just have one hand to hold the pup and the other to brush with – making it a little trickier than using my little “stand dryer”. And of course it’s much bulkier than just a slicker brush ,making it more difficult to control.


I picked this up at my local grocery store.
I have been using various Korean and Japanese brands of cleansing oils for some time and have been thrilled with the results. I have switched to using mostly Asian brands of skin care products as I had developed cystic acne that just would not go away. After switching products and making a few dietary changes it has been getting much better.
 As I had miscalculated how long shipping would be on my last order of cleansing oil, I ran out and needed something to fill the gap. This was all that was available in my area and against my better judgement I picked it up. despite being labled as an Ultra- Light Cleansing oil this product is quite heavy. Most cleansing oils I have used are quite wattery, this is much more consitant with your average cooking oil. When it came to washing this off it proved quite difficult. I did not think much of it as I am a doubble cleanser and always follow up with a foaming cleanser but evedently I still was not getting all the oil residue off my face. After a week and a half of daily use I have broken out all over my face. As I am not under any stress or changed my diet and beauty products (other than this oil) lately I can only conclude that this product is the most likely cause. I have since discontinued use and switched back to an Asian brand [[ASIN:B000V2FBAQ KOSE COSMEPORT softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil 230ml]] and my face is starting to clear up again.
I don't recomend this product to anyone who has or has had problematic skin.


Seriously, get the "Laser" Shiny color. Don't get the other ones. I originally bought the Purple/Pink version and it seems like the Rose Gold has the same glitter issue. Those were covered in glitter and while it looks really pretty the glitter literally gets everywhere. I returned the Purple/Pink glitter one and bought the shiny "Laser" color instead and it's great. The Laser color DOES attract fingerprints at times but it's a little hard to notice since it's so shiny and I'll take that over glitter any day.

As all the other reviewers say, quality is cheap. But at the same time this item is cheap so you're just getting what you paid for. It's exactly as it should be for $8/each. If it comes apart it's really easy to elmer glue/hot glue it back together. I don't see any real issue. Even if it's a little dented it's fine for the price as long as it holds the lashes and does what it's supposed to do.

Each book holds 16 pairs of lashes. You'll need a bit of lash glue to get the lashes to stick onto the palette. No big deal. I would never assume it would have stickiness built in for the lashes to attach with...because why would it? The thing is $8.

Totally recommend this for everyone that uses false lashes. It makes it so much easier to organize them all and I can see them all at a glance when I get ready. Super easy to choose which lashes to use. Once you're done using your lashes, clean them up and store them back in there. Takes up very little space. Love it!


I've been using these acrylic forms for about 7 years now.  I got my original box from Sally's Beauty Supply, but they're actually a bit more expensive at Sally's plus you have to pay for shipping.  I'm finally ready to order another box because the forms that best fit my nails are worn out and although you get a few of each size in each set, after all these years I've finally worn them out.  I'm happy to pay for these forms as you end up with perfect nails once you have a little experience using them and in the long run you save a small fortune over going to the salon.  I never did get perfect results at the salon, no matter how prestigious or expensive the salon was.  These people are always in too much of a hurry and never left my nails in the shape I requested.  I get compliments on my nails constantly and jaws drop when I tell people I do them myself.  These things do take a bit of trial and error though.  The first few times, you should allow plenty of time, but after that you'll get perfect nails quickly and easily.  No endless buffing!  Remove the form, file  and smooth the edges, and apply polish.  My acrylic nails and polish will last four to five weeks without lifting or peeling.  Four weeks in, I'm still getting compliments.  After that, the regrowth becomes apparent and they start looking a little ratty.  Time, once again, for my own private spa day without having to get in the car and driving somewhere to pay someone to do something I can do myself far better and for pennies each time.


I just received the package today and have not tried the product yet, but I felt compelled to write a preliminary review right away regarding the packaging.  This seller was meticulously careful in packaging my items and it was wrapped in 3 bubble mailers and had a gripper sticker on each bottle to ensure there's no spill within the package. Thanks so much for ensuring my products arrive intact.

I will update this review once I've tried the products.

Update 10/17/19:
I used the TIGI colour care system with SOS treatment.  Process was simple: shampoo hair, rinse, apply 10 pumps worth of SOS treatment and leave on for 5 minutes, shampoo hair again, and then use conditioner.

My usual results from my normal hair care routine and air-drying leaves my hair with volume, a slight wave, and definitely frizz.  I wanted raw results without using heat/product, so after towel-drying and combing my hair, I air-dried for a couple of hours and my hair was noticeably less frizzy, less dry ends, retained volume, and the wave was more defined.  I just ran my fingers through my hair and could've left for a night out without doing anything else to it!  (See picture!)

The TIGI Colour Care Shampoo did not bubble/foam much for round 1 of shampooing before using SOS but it did for round 2.  I'm not crazy about the scent, but it's bearable.  It's supposed to be a vanilla almond, but it's rich and musky.  The Colour Care Conditioner though wasn't as potent with the fragrance.


This product is AMAZING. It never clumps so shortens “getting ready” time significantly.  The gliding smoothness takes a bit getting used to. That typical mascara thickness just isn’t there.  But it didn’t take me long to get the hang of it and love it.  My lashes now have a natural, full, thick look to them.  One or two coats is all it takes.

 It’s waterproof in a gentle way.  Never melts down, but is super easy to remove with my Trader Joe’s organic coconut oil.  I even use it on my eyebrows, brush and all.  Works great.  Same ease of waterproof application.

 I had already gotten great lash growth thickness with the NuSkin product, but it has only gotten better with this mascara.  I’m so happy I switched from my old waterproof Maybelline fixation. I’m 67 and had previously been considering extensions.  Now I can even go out without any makeup and feel good about the way I look.  I’m living proof that the high quality organic ingredients are a better fit for our bodies.

It lasts a long time too and doesn’t dry out in the container.  I’m starting month four on my first tube and it’s still not empty or drying out.

It feels great to finally find a company offering high quality, organic make up at affordable prices.  Gonna see if they have a concealer next for those occasionally dark eyelid areas closest to the nose.  I’ll do a review on it too.


This is the first beard oil I've tried, so I don't have much to compare it to.  The first thing I do want to say is that it absolutely should not be labeled as "Citrus" in any way, shape, or form.  It does smell like cloves, and giving it the benefit of the doubt, I got it because it was a big bottle and had good reviews.  So if someone walks into the room and asks where the Christmas Ham is...all you have to do is point to your beard...awkwardly.

Not sure about other men (or maybe even women), but when I shower, I use both shampoo and conditioner in my beard.  I apply this oil after I shower before I go to bed.  The scent is not too strong at first, noticeable, but not overwhelming.  I have to play around to see if I'm using too little.  I don't really notice a difference in the softness of my beard, but again, that might be due to the shampoo and conditioner I use in the shower.  I'm sure that this helps with the skin underneath, so after I put the oil in my hands and run my fingers through my beard right down to the skin, I wash my hands, then use my beard brush to get any knots out and massage the oil down to the skin.  Not sure when or if I'll notice a difference, but as it stands now, I would not buy this again.  I hate cloves...


I'm an extensionist and professional stylist. I've been through them all! Now first things first, Not only is the customer service absolutely outstanding, not just from a Chinese company but most hair companies have very vague and non existent customer service when it comes to dealing with any issues regarding their products. But the product in themselves for the price you're getting it at I cannot express enough how truly astounding it is! And I've spent thousands on hair from other companies (no exaggeration) that were a let down. I sealed the tape for 3 seconds with a hot iron and have not had one slip (have had them in for about two months) which is unheard of for me since I've been using tape ins for over 5 years now. the hair quality it's self is human hair and you should treat it with such respect to maintain quality, but for the price you really can't beat the quality you're getting here. It is thick and it is still standing strong after having them in for 2 months now. I am so so so happy I found this company you have no idea! I now use this for all my clients and can't wait to purchase more hair in the future for myself! I highly recommend them! The only suggestion to you should make which is typical with alot of tape ins is to make the tape a little less noticeable is to cut it in half horizontally because they are pretty thick. But after that you're good to install! Thank you so much full shine hair for your kind email updates to making sure I was taken care of and giving the best online customer service I've ever had! It was honestly so refreshing! You've got a loyal life long customer!


This stuff is AMAZING. I am in LOVE. I will never again gauge my ears without this. At first I thought, "Why buy this one? There are much cheaper types out there." (I know this isn't expensive but c'mon, we're all looking for a bargain!) So I found a couple of different types but this stretching balm had the best reviews by far - I always trust the reviews.

So I bought it.

I am seriously amazed by what this stuff can do. I have always stretched my ears, technically "dry" before I bought this, and it doesn't feel great. After a hot shower, I would push in a new size and I had to push and push and it would usually tear and bleed and throb for days afterward. Not fun at all. They say that if you stretch it improperly, it will never heal or be able to shrink back to the small size. And I like to go back and forth from regular sized earrings to a double zero gauge - so it's important to me that my holes will shrink back.

ANYWAY. I bought this stuff and freaked out. I lathered my ears up with it and, like a freaking miracle, the gauges slipped right into my ear! I had just tried one size up, the DAY before and it hurt so badly that I couldn't even get them in. For some reason, when you use this stuff, you ears just take it! The next size up went into my ear, very easily, no pushing, no bleeding, no tearing, no throbbing! I was SHOCKED. It was so incredible! I actually can't wait to go up another size! I am so excited because it's EASY to stretch my ears now!

Don't think about it anymore, just BUY IT. This stuff is miraculous. You will not regret this purchase.


USE THIS ON CURLY HAIR for smooth curls!!!!!  I know this seems strange.  But I bought this product because I received a REALLY bad perm at a salon and after dealing with damage, fuzz and frizz for about 4 months I was fed up and decided to give up and straighten it.  The prices for a salon straitening treatment was outrageous.  So I decided to attempt it myself.

When the box arrived, I loved how all of the products are full sized.  I was going to wait until the weekend to do the whole straightening process but decided to go ahead and try out the clarifying shampoo and deep conditioners during the week.  I could tell even after the first use of the shampoo and conditioner what a difference it made to the texture of my hair.  It softened it and smoothed the curls and now I can run my fingers through it without it tangling.

So needless to say, the shampoo and conditioners alone fixed my fuzzy issues without having to straighten my hair.  I love my soft curls now and am so grateful that I decided to "test" the shampoos and conditioners.  It just made sense to me to try it because even though these are made to smooth straight hair, it can still smooth curls as well. So I use #1,3,4,5 every week.  I went ahead and tossed #2 - the straightening solution.

They need to market their conditioners and shampoos to curly headed people!!  Unfortunately I will have to buy the whole kit each time I need to replace the conditioner or shampoo since they do not sell the separate :-(  But, this product has saved my hair so it is totally worth it.


Body Wonders Shea Butter 16 Fl Oz sates it’s 100% pure and virgin. The main name on the label is Organic Shea Butter. The color is a light ovoty and the scent is typical of shea butter. What the bottle doesn’t have and I would have preferred to see is a logo denoting the ‘organic’ certifaction. The back of the label states it’s from Ghana and has not been tested on animals. I think for the price it’s not a bad deal and I like that it comes in a tub. I would have prefeered it to be safety sealed especially since it came with a broken lid. The product appeared to be fine inside. On top of the jat there is also and expiration date of 12/22/18 for Lot 1222BW-sb.

I am a big fan of shea butter and use it daily after my shower. It helps to keep my skin moisturized and and I love the smoky and nutty scent. If you are looking for authentic shes butter this is it…if you are looking for a lotion with shea butter that doesn’t have a strong scent you may not like this. The jar weighs in at 1 pound and 7/8 with the lid off so you are getting a pound of goodness. I have purchasedother products that have been short so I started weighing my products.

I purchased this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I do not guarantee 5 star reviews unless the product is one I would buy again and/or recommend to friends. I like to test out products that I typically would purchase at full price so I can provide a review based on a real trial.  My comments and opinions are based on my experience with the product. I hope sharing my experience and writing this review helps you with your purchase decision.


Like the other reviewers pointed out, this item is pretty large.  It doesn't look like it would be, but the dimensions are deceptive. I thought we had a decent-size shower enclosure, but even in that the bench takes up a surprising lot of space.  However, it's very well made and sturdy and the bench is fairly comfortable (as much as any flat wood surface is), so I expect to get used to the amount of space it takes up.  I like the adjustable leg height and the rubber tips on the feet, which you don't always find on this type item.

What I am MOST impressed with is the customer service. The first one of these I ordered arrived very promptly (sooner than promised), and was easy to put together and use, but then after only 2 days, one side of the wooden bench split all the way through (as if 2 pieces of wood had been poorly joined together....but on the other half of the bench, it did look like just one piece of wood). I contacted amazon to get return information from the seller, and instead, the seller emailed me directly, and apologized, told me to TOSS the defective item (rather than return it), and promptly sent me a free replacement!  And that one also arrived very promptly, was equally easy to set up, and so far is working great.  How awesome to NOT have to mess with boxing up the old one and sending it back!

So my overall rating is that it's a good product, with EXCELLENT customer service behind it. I'm pleased with my purchase.


I’ve been single-blade shaving for about 5 years. I enjoy trying out different blades and soaps. This is one of my stand-byes so I can recommend this soap.

1. SHAVE: EXCELLENT.  Mitchell’s is very slick and leaves very little tendency to cut or scrape. It results in a close, smooth shave in two passes. Most premium soaps result in a good-to-excellent shave.

2. SKIN: EXCELLENT. This product contains lanolin and results in the very best and softest after-shave experience of any soap I’ve tried.  Most premium soaps result in a fair-to-good experience for me.

3. VERSATILITY: GOOD. Some soaps seem to shave very well with one brand of blade and not others. Mitchell’s doesn’t seem to mind. I use ASTRA and generally sharp blades.

4. LATHER: FAIR. This soap deposits easily onto a wet badger brush, sufficient to lather onto the skin and shave well. It does not whip into a full thick lather if that is important to you. It is also reputed (I have no direct experience) to be difficult to lather at all if you have hard water.

5. LATHER DURABILITY: GOOD. The lather on the brush lasts OK during the shave. Easily enough for two passes.

6. PUCK DURABILITY: EXCELLENT.  I tend to rotate among several brands of soap, and most milled soaps collect enough water from the brush to decay and dry out somewhat before the puck is finished. Mitchell’s lasts to the end.

8. VALUE: FAIR. Mitchell’s is priced about the same as other premium milled soaps. However, if it is sold as a bare replacement puck so you will need a shaving bowel or other container.


This was my first time trying a mask of this type. To be honest I didn't really know what to expect, but to make a Long story short I was very impressed. Applying this mask is a little different. You should leave your face nice and damp, and apply a very thin layer of this oxygen mask over the damp skin. The mask will begin to foam up, and you leave it applied for about 10 minutes or so. After which you simply rinse it off, and enjoy your nicely treated skin. I tend to have a little bit of a drier skin type on certain areas of my face, and so I would say that this mask did dry me out a little bit. Of course the mask isn't the final step, rather it's the first one so following it up with a good serum and moisturizer will alleviate any sort of dryness issues. What I did notice is that with prolonged use, I was seeing some pretty encouraging results with the diminishment of fine lines. I am in my 40s now, and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines are beginning to become a reality. When I would use this mask, and then apply a nice retinol serum, and a good moisturizer overtop, I noticed that after several weeks I was seeing a pretty nice reversal of the aging process. I think it's a very high quality product, and isn't the first product that I've tried from this brand. In my experience Tonica makes excellent products, with simple packaging but are highly effective. All in all I was very pleased with my use of it, and would certainly recommend it to anyone willing to give it a try.


I hate visiting the dentist, just like everyone else. However, back in 1994-1995 my friend (who's a dental assistant no less) recommend the new Braun/OralB Plaque Remover.
Needless to say, I have been using it every day since. Actually, the first one died after 5 years (what do you expect for a Ni-Cad battery) and my replacement unit just died this past month. So I am on my quest to purchase my third unit. And that's not a bad thing. I think 4 years use out of each one is pretty decent.
All of the other positive reviews here on Amazon are correct. The Braun Oral-B Plaque Remover does get your teeth really clean. It gets into places where you just can brush very well manually.
If you don't have one, get one -- that is, if your teeth are important to you.
Update 4/6/04: Almost 2 years have passed since I wrote the review above. The products are still working great, however, the brushes seem to be losing power as time goes on. I've followed the discharging instructions included with the product, but it still has not helped. Therefore, my rating has gone from 5 stars, to 4.
I wrote to Oral-B several times about this, but never received a reply. My previous Oral-B brushes had the same problem, but I attributed it to the fact that they had Ni-Cad batteries whereas the new ones have Nickel-Hydride.


[[VIDEOID:3ea33c1e85d8d1a8ce0fd7987edd95af]] This facial steamer heats up very fast (in 30 seconds as stated in the manual) and is very easy to use. You just add some distilled water or purified water and turn the steamer on. Since the steam is hot, you need to make sure that your face is away enough from the nozzle. I like how the steam comes from in a direction that covers the chin and the face. There is no option for adjusting the level of the mist but I do not think if it is necessary since the amount of steam is good in this device. There is a manual inside the package that I found really helpful. The water tank is small and for me, the tank size is holding the exact amount of water I need for each usage.

The steamer can be used for hydrating the skin. It also opens the pores and is good for deep cleaning. But the thing I really enjoy while using this steamer is that it is very helpful for my Sinusitis. The warm mist soothes and moisturizes my sinus passageway. So, for me, it does not only make my skin hydrated but also unblocking my sinuses.

I also like the portable facial steamer. It is chargeable which is great. It is not that much powerful and it is releasing cold mist but, it is a good size for travel. Surprisingly, this tiny humidifier works for about 10-15 minutes. The other things in the package are also useful to have a nice Spa at home.

All in all, I like the whole set and to me, each part of this package is useful and works great.


You know the saying 'kill two birds with one stone'? That is precisely what I had in mind when I ordered Follain Mattifying Moisturizer.  I have dry, sensitive skin but its not oily. My husband has oily skin. I have fine lines and wrinkles on my face. My husband does not.  Because Follain moisturizer promises to combat oily skin, as well as fine lines and wrinkles and is a clean, vegan product, I ordered it to find out if it could help the both of us with our skin issues.  I'm happy to tell you that it has helped the both of us.  The moisturizer is a bit thinner than I'm used to. I don't say that in a bad way because its not at all bad.  One pump of the canister delivers enough moisturizer to cover my facial skin. Its very lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a look or feel of oily/greasy skin. It provides immediate hydration and does a nice job of softening my skin. I am VERY happy to say I absolutely have a noticeable reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles on my face. They don't go away entirely, but there is a definite reduction in size and appearance. ( I can't tell you how much I needed to experience this right now as my 49th bday is this week...that means 5-0 isn't far behind and I'm kind of starting to freak about it! )  My husband also tried this for his oily skin with impressive results.  Follain controls his oily skin and prevents the shiny, damp look that comes with oily skin thanks to the mattifying benefit of this moisturizer.  We both use it as needed and not even on a daily basis.  Follain works and it works well. We're both very pleased and grateful for the results!


Holy cow! This stuff is AMAZING! I just ran out of a expensive tinted sunscreen & was looking for something with the same affect but cheaper. Saw the reviews & gave it a shot. First off let me state that I’m a full coverage type of girl. I have freckles, discoloration & some scars I like hiding when I do wear makeup. I never thought I would even consider something light weight or sheer. But now as a mom, barely have time for my glam makeup, & wanted something to protect my aging skin this stuff is great! IM 26 but want to start taking care of my skin better. I’m usually the color porcelain but wanted something with color. The natural glow gave me that sun kissed glow without looking orange. Non shimmery what-so ever. Matt but non drying, no oily texture. Gave me such a natural glow. GORG! I wore this all day for Easter at the park (never thought I wouldn’t wear foundation to a family event!) & got tons of compliments how I look refreshed. I’m glowing & my skin hasn’t looked better! I will 100% be buying this for as long as they continue this product!

2 MONTH UPDATE: Still am amazing product! Use it almost everyday now. I even tried it under my foundation& works wonderfully! I swear it made my foundation look better. Like others posted, the pumped stopped working on me. I now have to open the container to get the product out. Not that big of a deal but a bummer. But overall, will be purchasing again when I run out... which seems like a month or two more.


I ordered this based on advice from a random blog article I found and on reviews to treat scaly leg mites on a few of my chickens. I will say, after using per the instructions over a few weeks, this product definitely works. Major improvement noticed - leg appearance, as well as two particular chickens with feathered feet walking normally again and not looking like every step is painful. Unfortunately,  I did not take before photos because I was eager to use (and it's easier to handle the chickens at night after they've roosted). I want to continue using this on those particular extreme cases but I wanted to give a break in between "sessions". I'll try to remember to add some photos...

However, shipping/packaging could have been better. My two bottles arrived and had leaked all over the packaging. The sprayer nozzles weren't working well - one, not at all because it was broken, and the other leaked into my hand every time I pulled the sprayer trigger when using. The seller was immediately responsive (considering the time difference (shipped from UK to US) and resolved my issue quickly with a replacement. I experienced even worse leakage on the second delivery and notified them about that, encouraging better packaging and/or securing the bottled contents better.

Overall, product experience is 5 stars with noticeable improvements to the scaly leg mite situations I'm dealing with. Shipping/packaging experience and nozzle issues were really a bummer to deal with, but the seller was quick to respond and resolve. Definitely recommend trying if you're looking to rid a scaly leg mite infestation!


I have come to find that coffee scrubs are absolutely heavenly. I love that this particular coffee scrub uses coffee powder instead of the actually coffee. The scrub is marketed as Organic and it isn't. That is my biggest compliant. This is a large granule, sugar based scrub. It is dry, I've used dry scrubs with no issues but this is extra dry. It's very hard to get it to massage into skin unless you add something such as coconut oil etc. I also thought that the picture was a little misleading as the pictures makes it seem to be a creamy product. I am currently using it to help with cellulite on my upper thighs, I can't say that after a few uses I haven't noticed a huge difference but I will come back to update if necessary. The packaging is great, very upscale looking. The product's jar can be re-used, that's always a plus. It smells absolutely amazing, it makes me want coffee for sure but I just feel it's misrepresented and that's why I am reducing the rating by one star. I also think the scrub is priced appropriately. I am very likely to re-purchase, I just wish that I didn't have to add coconut oil to make it usable. I did receive this coffee scrub at a discount in exchange for my honest review. I regularly review products that I get for free or discounted, however, all of my reviews are held to a high ethical standard, 100% honest, are my own opinions and are not for sale.


It's very very difficult to find a hypoallergic dark purple eyeliner that has a small enough applicator to make a thin line, stays on, and yet comes off before bedtime only when I take it off. I have been searching for this for decades. I was so excited when gel came out, but the brushes are never thin enough and pencils don't make thin enough lines. With sharpeners, you lose a lot of product and they never get as sharp as when new or you just lose the whole tip. Forget regular pencil eyeliners, same prob, but I can't use those anyway b/c no color comes off on my eye; it's like trying to use an actual crayon. I would have given this 5 stars, but I can't put it near the corner of my eye b/c it just ends up IN my eye, but at least it's not as irritating as any others, and that's probably just my own crazy sensitivity--I can get close enough that it looks good. Mind you, I'm only putting it under the lashes and NOT on the inner lid rim. Plus, I have been given the tip to wipe off excess before application, but I think as I age my damn eyes have gotten more sensitive. I have searched for years. I have mostly green hazel eyes, and dark purple is the only thing that doesn't make my eyes look brown. I've used this for a month or so, so I highly recommend it!


This product intentionally comes without any instruction/operation manual.  It comes with FOUR cords and a metal unit/box with FIVE portals. Two of the cords can fit interchangeably into two different portals, but it is not clear which portal is the correct one for either of the cords. I am afraid of making a wrong choice. Two of the cords are obvious to which portal, i.e, the one that attaches to the handset, and the power cord that powers the unit/box. The foot pad is a thin flat bar with metal on one side and rubber on the other and the other end of the cord fits into both of the identical portals, and like I stated, I don't know which portal is intended. It is not like a traditional foot pedal that has movement up and down to operate, so I'm not sure how it works, perhaps contact from a shoe to the metal side or to the rubber side? The fifth portal is very small, and none of the cords fit into it. Not sure what it is for as there are no instructions or diagrams on the unit itself to indicate. It comes with a packet of 8 red washers that look like they may go into the handset. There are 8 needles, 4 different sizes, with no indication which needle is to be used for what procedure. The needles are crammed into the box so tightly that a couple are bent. When I plug it in, there is vibration to the hand piece which you control by pushing buttons on the unit/box. Please note that there is no adjustment for the needle length so if the needle sticks out too far, you will get excessive blood and possibly scarring to the client's face. To my detriment, I've found no links or pictures online of this model to help with any questions on assembly or operation, so, in my opinion, that renders the product useless.


Fuch's Dystrophe is a chronic swelling of the corneas that causes one's eyes to be almost constantly irritated and sore. It is not a dangerous medical condition, bit it is awfully uncomfortable and annoying. I tried Muro 123 5% at my optometrist's recommendation, and results have been good.

Regular eye drops do provide some relief from the "scratchy" feel by lubricating the surface of the eye, but little more. Muro 128 5% actually reduces the swelling of the cornea for an hour or two after each application, which gives significant symptomatic relief and makes driving, using  electronic displays, and other potentially eye straining activities easier and less uncomfortable.

A few things that you need to know: This product reduces the scratchy, itchy symptoms, but (regrettably) does not cure. One should expect to have to reapply several times a day for effective relief.

It burns. Others have complained about this, and they are right. It does this because of the relatively high concentration (5%) of sodium chloride (NaCl, or "salt") in the solution. This is uncomfortable, but lasts only a minute or so and, with regular use, becomes less uncomfortable. This is, as my kids say, 'a feature, not a flaw'. The high NaCl concentration is what does the work of reducing the swelling that causes the discomfort. It draws water out of the swollen corneas by osmosis, and that is why this product is more effective than typical eye drops that moisturize and lubricate, but do not reduce the swelling that causes the dryness and scratchiness. And, with regular use, this side effect becomes less and less a problem.

For me, the relief that I get more than makes up for the cost and a little stinging for a minute or two after application (which I hardly notice any more).


I got The 2 Bits Man Premium Beard Oil - Eucalyptus & Spearmint scent for my husband. He tends to get dandruff in his beard that causes him to have to shave it every so often due to the itchiness and flaking. He noticed immediate itch relief after his first application. The essential oils went right to work soothing his skin and conditioning his beard. The scent is minty goodness. We both really like how it smells, and a little bit goes a long way. It only takes a couple drops for a short, full beard. More may be needed for longer beards.

Ingredients: Grapeseed Oil, Cedarwood Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Spearmint Essential Oil, Vitamin E Oil

Be sure to shake well prior to using to mix together all those glorious essential oils. Then, just drop two to three drops in your palm, rub your hands together, apply to your face, and enjoy!

Disclosure: I received this product at a discount in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I am a consumer, just like you, that makes it a point to check reviews prior to making a purchase to assist me in making an informed decision. I truly understand the importance of honest reviews. All reviews left by me are truthful and honest at the time of posting whether I received the product for free or paid the full sales price. If, for any reason, my opinion changes, I will update my review. Thank you!


I found these for sale at Whole Foods and picked one up out of curiosity. Not sure what happened to the previous reviewer, but these are great! No smell, they dry comparably fast to normal nail polish, last for about 2 days (more if you're careful) then peel off easily.

They're basically a thin plastic coat on your nails. I tried the "Montgomery" color and it looks great, indistinguishable from a normal nail polish. After 2 days of normal hand washing, office work, and showers including shampooing & conditioning my hair, I was starting to see a couple scratches but no more so than normal polish. And I can just peel off one that looks bad and redo it - even in the office as there's no smell at all. Removing nail polish is my least favourite thing ever so these are absolutely brilliant. Forget kids - I'm using these myself any time I want to look a little dressy for an event or a couple days. Just wish they came in more colours. Adding photos to illustrate Fresh application, a couple scratches after 2 days wear, and peel-to-remove!

Update: picked up the pale pink color and I can see better why the previous reviewer complained the color wasn't strong. The pink is subtle and did take a full 3 costs to look good; the peach was much better. Still a decent option if you do want a more subtle color though. Adding a picture showing 3 coats of the pink.
