I used to see my grandmother take these when I was a child, so as an adult, when I saw them in the store, I figured I would give them a try. I love the cherry flavor, long lasting, and not sour. I try not to take this too often because a)I don't like ingesting too much of Red & Blue dye, which this has marked in the ingredients, and b)the numbness of the mouth is kind of a weird feeling. Mind you, it works well to keep my throat soothed. My main complaint besides the use of the dyes, is that you have to wait 2 hours before taking another one. So if your throat starts bothering you again before the 2 hours is over, you're out of luck, unless you don't mind making yourself sick. -

Not too sure how I feel about this kit.
My daughter got this for Christmas, and we were saving it for one of our mother-daughter craft days, so when we finally opened it, the glow-in-the-dark gel paint pens were dried out and unusable. The kit had never been open, so there was no reason for the paint to be dried out.
The sticker selection however, was good for my daughter's age (6), and good quality too.
We ended up coloring the stickers with regular markers and they came out nice. Not sure if they sell paint refills or not, but I know we couldn't find any at Walmart nor Toys r Us here in Montreal.

Personelle Honey Lemon Cough Drops
At only 2.49 for a bag of 30 cough drops, this is a really good deal ! Good for anyone over age 4, it doesn't have a strong taste, and they are gluten free ! I didn't think these would work for my stubborn cough as I have chronic bronchitis, but it... +
At only 2.49 for a bag of 30 cough drops, this is a really good deal ! Good for anyone over age 4, it doesn't have a strong taste, and they are gluten free ! I didn't think these would work for my stubborn cough as I have chronic bronchitis, but it soothes my throat and keeps my coughing to a minimum. What I like most about these particular ones, is that the directions say you can take "as needed", so you don't have to wait 2 hours like you do with most other cough drops on the market. -

My hands lately get very dry because I tend to wash my hands a lot through out the day, as well as when washing dishes. Sometimes to the point that they hurt. Since using this, my hands don't hurt as bad, and my skin is soft again, no matter how many times I wash my hands through out the day. A little goes a long way with this, and I love that it is fragrance free. -

Waste of money ! According to the packaging and commercials I've seen, its supposed to boost volume and length by 400%, so no need for false lashes or lash extensions. Yea no. Didn't do that at all. I didn't see any extra volume or length more than what my normal mascaras do for me. Used it once and threw away the bottle, should've went back for a refund instead. Infact, my lashes were stiffer than they get with my normal mascaras, and was clumpy. -

Normally I make my own lip scrub, but I saw this at Walmart, and saw that it was only 3.97 (most elf products at Walmart are relatively affordable), so I decided to give it a go. From the first time I used it, I loved it ! Its not overly harsh on the lips, and it definitely left my lips feeling a lot softer and smoother than they had been before I tried the exfoliator. In the winter, I have severely chapped lips, and I honestly didn't think this was going to help, but it did. Very much worth the price. -

A friend of mine suggested this eyeliner to me, and even though it was reasonably priced (only 3.97 at walmart), I regret buying it.
While yes, the color is intense, I was not happy with the felt tip of this eyeliner. I usually wing out my eyeliner, and the tip on this eyeliner made it next to impossible to get a thin wing. Every time I tried, it came out really thick, even when just using the tip as the directions on the back of the packaging suggests.
Very disappointed in this, I had high hopes for it.

I currently have the shade "Teddy" in this line, and I absolutely LOVE it ! I was skeptical at first to try it, because a)its kind of pricey for me considering I don't wear makeup often, and b) I haven't really had good experiences with matte lip sticks. But from the moment I put it on, I was sold ! The color glides on smoothly and I didn't need to apply many coats to get the coverage I wanted. It also didn't overly dry out my lips as other matte lipsticks had in the past. I have dry chapped lips to begin with, and it didn't really show through the lipstick, which is important to me. Also, this is not hard to remove like other brands I've tried. Long lasting too, and doesn't really transfer to other surfaces like some lipsticks do.
Definitely my new "go-to" lip color, and will most definitely be investing in other colors in this line.

I have mixed feelings about this product.
I never use the included bleach anymore if I need to bleach my hair, because the included bleach is too runny for my liking, and it is so strong that even if I leave it on for less time than the instructions say to, it ends up damaging my hair really bad, and I get little bumps on my hairline and scalp if it gets too close to the skin.
HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE the color, and the intensity of it, I also love the smell of it, it smells almost fruity, and each color has a different scent to it. The color doesn't fade too fast like other temporary hair colors I have used before.
I do wish though, that the color would be available by itself without the bleach kit added to the box.
Its the only brand (thus far) that I use anymore when I want to do crazy vibrant colors in my hair.

My daughter loves this for her hair ! She has frizzy, tightly curled hair, and it dries out very fast. Its hard to find anything that keeps her hair from getting frizzy and dry all day, but this works relatively well. And the smell ! Makes you think of the tropics ! Hard to find in my stores cause it sells out so quickly, but next time I find it I will definitely stock up. -
