This toilet paper is very strong and a little goes a long way. While it's not as soft as my favourite, Charmin, it's definitely durable and I find I don't need as much as most other 2/3-ply tissues. The price is about average, and I'd personally wait for a sale/coupons to buy it. This is definitely a high quality bathroom tissue that I recommend to those looking for something strong, fairly soft, and will last longer than other brands.
I received this product for free as part of ChickAdvisor's Review Club; thank you!

A box of these contains 10 dual-sided strips and two wipes (for removing residue) for about $7. I really liked the convenience of the strips -- you simply warm them between your hands, peel, and place on the area you want to remove hair from. You can use the same strip a few times though I find it loses its efficacy after the 2nd use.
They are pretty good at removing hair, though my one complaint is that I wish a box came with more than two wipes, as 20 strips in all can last more than two sessions. I do recommend these though, as they are a bit cheaper than some brands and a lot more convenient than traditional wax you need to heat up and apply.

Garnier Body Intensive 7 Day Soothing Lotion

You can often find coupons and sales for Garnier's lotions, so it's easy to find this already inexpensive lotion for even cheaper! Definitely recommend.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
This is kind of magic. I like using it to remove scuff marks from the walls and it works great! Plus, as a mass market brand, it often goes on sale, so you can get it even cheaper. Win-win!

Venus razors are very good quality. There are several to choose from -- from the basic 3-bladed original Venus, to ones with shave cream bars included, and even ones that help moisturize your legs.
I adore the Venus razors that have the built-in shave cream bars (Venus & Olay, Embrace, Pro-Skin). I don't like using typical shave cream because I find I always end up with half of it falling off my legs and ending up in the drain. These razors offer a simple, effective solution to that problem and leave my legs feeling smooth and soft. The Venus & Olay ones have five blades (the other ones have three), which I find makes shaving faster.
I also really like the Embrace razor, which offers five blades and moisturizing strips. The handle has soft ridges and is very easy to grip, and the cartridge is wider than the 3-bladed razors, which helps cover a wider area. I have used this without shaving cream and still experience soft skin without nicks or razor burns, though I'd still recommend using cream or gel for extra softness.
The original Venus and Venus Divine are good, though I like the extra perks the other razors offer. These ones are 3-bladed, and while they do a good job, I find I have to go over areas an extra time just to make sure all the hair has been removed. They also do not have the grips like the Embrace and Olay ones do. I would recommend them to someone looking for a simple, effective razor, and the Divine is nicely moisturizing.
Aesthetically, I love the colours and designs of these razors, and the fact that they are interchangeable. In my opinion, they're the best-looking razors on the market.
I don't think you can go wrong with these razors! I would especially recommend the Embrace and Venus & Olay, though they are all very good and most people will be able to find one that fits their needs.

Korres Guava Shower Gel is an indulgent, delightful addition to your shower.
It foams up quite nicely, cleans well, and has a tropical scent that lasts a few hours afterwards. It also adds a good level of moisture to the skin, which is perfect for cold, winter months!
While it's quite pricey at $22, I was able to find it at Winners for $8.99, so I highly recommend checking there if you're interested in this!

This sheet mask is meant to give you an appearance of a full night's sleep in 10-20 minutes. The mask is soaked in essence/serum and easily stretches to line up with your eyes, nose, and mouth. It's cold when I first put it on (like the shock you get in a cold shower), but I quickly got used to it. It has a refreshing peppermint scent.
The mask was very moisturizing and I noticed over the course of the day my complexion was a lot brighter and more even. I actually looked like I was glowing! My dark circles were still there but there was no puffiness. I'm really impressed at how it made me look so much fresher, and yes, more awake. I recommend this to anyone looking for some early morning TLC and I'd like to try the other mask types too!

I found these strips worked fairly well at whitening and brightening my teeth. While my teeth are not the supermodel gleaming white I hoped for, they have lightened a few shades and are definitely whiter.
I didn't have a problem keeping the strips attached to my teeth for each two hour session, but the flaps meant to attach to the back of the teeth wouldn't always stick on. A minor problem because it didn't affect the effacity of the strips, but a bit annoying.
My teeth definitely did become more sensitive when I used these. I had to stop using them for a few days as I had experienced shooting pain during one application. I started using them every other day, and my teeth were still sensitive but not overly pained. The sensitivity does lessen after a day or so.
The strips didn't have a bad taste to me and when removing them, they didn't leave residue after brushing. I would say Crest has made a leading product in at-home teeth whitening and I would recommend this brand to others.
The price is a bit high, but I do think the results are worth it if you want a gradual whitening affect (depending how often you use the strips). I would use these again to maintain my new, whiter smile.

This is a great, lightweight budget body lotion. It has a thin consistency, but it isn't greasy and it soaks into the skin very quickly, leaving your body soft and supple.
The scent is a bit strong, so those who are not keen on chocolate/cocoa scents should probably avoid this one and try another of the products in this range! Definitely recommend.

I use this as a night cream rather than a daily moisturizer, as it is fairly heavy and better suited to my combination skin for nighttime. It would probably suit those with very dry skin as a day cream, however.
The scent is fairly strong but I don't find it too bad. The packaging is a gorgeous glass container with a corkscrew-textured lid. The price is a bit hefty, but if you want a highly moisturizing day/night cream, I'd recommend this as it does its job very well!
