I had high hopes for this rinse. I definitely left my mouth fresh, and it didn't burn. It did, however, leave my tooth a bit blue... After I noticed that my teeth looked blue after using the rinse, I checked the back of the bottle. Sure enough there's a warning that it may stain teeth. So I checked the ingredients, and found that there's blue dye in it. Why are they putting blue dye in this rinse? I imagine if they skipped the dye, it wouldn't turn teeth blue...

I have to admit I wasn't sure I could believe the claim that this toothpaste would leave my teeth feeling cleaner for longer, but it did! I actually loved this toothpaste! It has a great flavour and left my mouth and teeth feeling super clean and fresh for much longer than with other toothpastes. I'd highly recommend this toothpaste to a friend!

I received the Crest 3D White Multi-Care Whitening Rinse as part of the Chick Advisor PRC. I used it as part of the Crest 3D White system (toothbrush, toothpaste, and rinse).
According to Crest, the three part 3D white system can whiten your teeth effectively in as little as two days. I was definitely intrigued and eager to give it a try. I've used Crest white strips (varying types) before and had okay results, but also experienced a great deal of sensitivity after using those systems. I was worried that this system would result in tooth sensitivity as well, but I was wrong! Overall I think my teeth did whiten somewhat. They didn't get as white as some of the white strip systems, but they were definitely whiter and brighter than when I started.
This rinse claims that it doesn't "burn" like rinses that contain alcohol, and that it will lead to a white smile when used in conjunction with the 3D white toothbrush and toothpaste. When I saw that there is hydrogen peroxide in this rinse I was worried it was going to cause my teeth to become very sensitive and it would burn. I was pleasantly surprised not to have any sensitivity after a week of using this rinse! I was not so happy about the intense burning and stinging sensation I had after using this rinse for a couple days. I'm pretty sure this was related to the cuts and abrasions the toothbrush left on my gums after three days of use. Once I switched back to my regular brush, and my gums had a chance to heal, this rinse did not burn anymore, but it did sting a bit.
Crest claims that this rinse will leave your mouth feeling fresh for a long time. I completely disagree. My mouth felt fresher for a longer time when I didn't use the rinse after brushing. Despite that, it did help to whiten and brighten my teeth. And since that's the main purpose of this particular rinse, I'd still recommend it!

I actually really liked this toothpaste. It had a nice minty taste, and wasn't gritty or chalky. It did leave my mouth fresh feeling for a good while after brushing. After 7 days of use I definitely noticed that my teeth were whiter and brighter than before. I tend to have slightly sensitive teeth so I normally brush with a sensitivity toothpaste. Despite this toothpaste not being specifically for sensitive teeth, I didn't notice my sensitivity returning from switching to this toothpaste. I'd recommend this to a friend for sure! I think the toothpaste and rise together work really well to whiten your smile gradually!

The toothbrush is supposed to help polish away stains. It was a "soft" brush, which is what I normally use when I buy a manual toothbrush (although admittedly I use and love my electric toothbrush normally). The first couple of times I brushed I actually commented to myself about how soft the brush felt against my gums. It was awesome. It felt like a massage. I was really really impressed. BUT... By day three, this toothbrush felt hard and stiff while brushing. It was so harsh that I had noticeable scratches on my gums. It caused my gums to bleed a lot, and the abrasions it left on them were really uncomfortable. I had to stop using this toothbrush and switch back to my electric brush to allow my gums to heal.
Unfortunately, because of the damage this toothbrush did to my gums, I wasn't able to use it for the full week with the toothpaste and rinse. For that reason, I would not recommend this toothbrush. I think you can get fairly good whitening results by just using your regular brush.

If I had written a review about this hair dryer 6 months ago, I would have written a glowing review, but now (1.5 years after I bought this hair dryer) my opinion has drastically changed.
I used this hair dryer for a full year with no problems. It was just the right size and weight, and it dried my hair quickly. I loved using the diffuser attachment to get great volume. A few months ago, the heat started to cut out. I always use it on High heat and High speed, but suddenly the heat was cutting in and out on its own. It wasn't because it was overheating as it would start doing this within the first 30-45 seconds of the dryer being on. I tolerated this for a while even though it slowed down my hair drying time. Then one day I noticed that when it was switching between hot and cold on its own, it was also sparking inside the dryer (I could see flashes inside the dryer in the mirror). Finally yesterday when it sparked I smelled a burning smell. I thought it was just hair on the brush, but after looking more closely I realized it had singed off a chunk, yes a chunk, of my hair... My hair is down to my mid back and now I have a chunk, about 2 cm wide, near the front of my head (thankfully still covered by hair because of where I part my hair), that is 1/4" long and singed orange. I consider myself very lucky that this hair dryer didn't burn my scalp, or set my whole head on fire...
If you are considering this hair dryer, don't! If you have this hair dryer, stop using it before this (or worse) happens to you!

Overall I found this nail buffer easy to use. I liked that the heart shaped buffer had a nice corner that made it easier to get right to the base of the nails. The shine I got with this buffer was unbelievable! It set my nails up for polish really nicely, and when I took that polish off 5 days later, my nails were still shiny as could be.
I would definitely use this product again and I will recommend it to friends!

My hair is long (mid back), fine, and not colour treated. I am always using volumizing products in an attempt to keep my fine hair from sitting flat on my head. I'd heard about Pantene's new Aqua Light line and I was eager to give it a try. I was hoping it would be light enough that it would leave my hair weightless and full of body.
Unlike the Aqua Light Shampoo and Conditioner, the Conditioning Shake didn't say anything about being paraben free. I was a little disappointed that Pantene couldn't make the entire line paraben free. Looking at the product in the bottle I could see two layers of product. The idea is that you shake it up and then spray it onto wet (towel dried) hair. It looked like it might be a bit greasy, but I tried it anyway. I found that I had to continue to shake it every couple of sprays just to make sure it didn't separate. The spray was a very light mist (with a light scent), and I applied it quite sparingly.
After using the Aqua Light shampoo, conditioner and Aqua Light Conditioning Shake, I blow dried my hair and the result was fabulous! Full of volume (even more than when I use volumizing products), great shine, very clean and smooth feeling, and it kept my hair clean for three whole days! I almost always wash my hair every day, or every other day, but with Pantene's Aqua Light products, I had great looking hair for three days! Incredible!
I would highly recommend it to all of my friends!

My hair is long (mid back), fine, and not colour treated. I am always using volumizing conditioners in an attempt to keep my fine hair from sitting flat on my head. I'd heard about Pantene's new Aqua Light conditioner and I was eager to give it a try. I was hoping it would be light enough that it would leave my hair weightless and full of body.
When I opened the bottle I was really surprised by the scent. I usually find Pantene conditioners to be very strongly perfumed (which I don't like), but this was not what I was expecting! The scent was fresh and very light. I was expecting this conditioner to feel light and thin (almost runny) like some volumizing conditioners, but it was just the opposite. The Pantene Aqua Light conditioner was rich and thick, and felt incredibly moisturizing when I put it in my hair. The thickness of the conditioner made me wonder if it would rinse well and if it would leave my hair heavy. It rinsed really easily (just as easily as the thin, runny volumizing conditioners), but left my hair feeling really well hydrated. There was a little bit of the scent left on my hair, but it was very light and smelled great!
After using the Aqua Light shampoo, conditioner and Aqua Light Weightless Conditioning Shake, I blow dried my hair and the result was fabulous! Full of volume (even more than when I use volumizing shampoos and conditioners), great shine, very clean and smooth feeling, and it kept my hair clean and weightless for three whole days! I almost always wash my hair every day, or every other day, but with Pantene's Aqua Light products, I had great looking hair for three days! Incredible!
This is going to be my "go to" conditioner from now on! I loved it! I would highly recommend it to all of my friends!
