I finally had to read this book because of all the hype about the series, including from my friends. Don't believe the hype.
Even looking at this from a pre-teen / teenage perspective, since this is who these books are written for, I was disappointed. This series portrays its female lead as a helpless girl who needs a man to save her. If I had a daughter I would not want her reading books that encourage that mentality.
There are so many books for young adults with a strong female lead, spend your money on one of those instead.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are pretty darn impressive. The first time I used one I could not believe how easily marks came off of my wall. Seriously, I was not expecting them to work quite that well. There were a few marks on the wall from moving in and within minutes they were all gone, with no hard scrubbing required. The only little complaint that I have is they do tend to leave a bit of gritty residue on the wall but that's easy enough to wipe off with a damp cloth. -

I received a sample of this mascara a few months ago and although I was skeptical at first I am now converted.
I've never been very into mascara because I have sensitive eyes and many mascaras start to bother my eyes halfway through the day. I've also found that other mascaras wear off as the day goes on and by the end of a hard work day I look like I have raccoon eyes. Covergirl LashBlast doesn't do any of these things. It stays where it should and I can wear it all day long without irritated eyes.
I used to use department store, brand name mascara that cost double to triple what Covergirl LashBlast does. Never again.
This is my new go to mascara.

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub every week to help get glowing skin. I find the formula has enough texture to feel like it is truely exfoliating but is not so harsh as to feel rough, even on sensitive skin.
I recommend this one to anyone needing a basic exfoliator because, at $5 a bottle, it works just as well as some of the much more expensive ones I've tried.

Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse
This is my new favourite mouth wash! The taste is good and it doesn't leave my mouth feeling dry like so many other mouth washes tend to do.

I used to buy pricier shampoo and conditioners but I tried this at my parents house a couple of months ago and it's great! My hair feels very soft after I use it, the product smells great, and I can usually pick up a bottle for $2 - $3, which is great for a single person on a budget! -

I'm usually skeptical about shampoos/conditioners that claim to enhance the colour of your hair but I received a sample of the Sheer Blonde shampoo and conditioner a few weeks ago so I gave them a try. To my surprise people have asked what I did to my hair because it looks blonder.
The price is still a little higher than I like to pay for hair care products but if I can find it on sale I'll definitely pick it up again.

I've always liked the Dove body washes. They're creamier than alot of others and I actually feel like they are moisturizing my skin a bit instead of just cleansing. Many other reviewers didn't like the cucumber scent but I find it quite subtle and refreshing. -

I love Clinique's Liquid Facial Soap! The pump makes it really quick and easy to use and the oily skin formula is perfect for my combination skin. Using it twice a day keeps my skin clear but doesn't seem to dry it out like alot of other facial cleansers designed for oily skin used to do.
I've been using this for about a year now and would not go back to the drug store brands, even if they are a little less expensive.
