If you are looking for a pad that will keep you dry, clean and feeling fresh this one is for you. As I have gotten older, using tampons is not for me, I never know when my "aunt flow" is coming for a visit or what type of surprise she will have for me. Trying to keep up on sizes was crazy, however I never wanted to use pads as I found they left me feeling very uncomfortable. Now however, I never have to worry about a thing, Always Infinity Pads are light weight, come in 3 sizes so you are prepared for anything. Never before has a pad been so comfortable. Try them you won't be disappointed. -

I have been using Annabelle eyeliner for many, many years and I love it still. I was in Grade 7 when I was allowed to start wearing Make-up, what a treat that was. Girls today seem to have a much better grasp on the art of applying make-up, for me it was black all around the eye. ( I looked so cool ) umm, No. Annabelle was always there for me like an old friend, when I needed a boost to my look, or I just wanted to add some colour to my eyes I would reach for the annabelle.
Now that I am much older and a little wiser I still find myself coming back to Annabelle, I will try other's, but I always keep my Annabelle close. The colours are vivid, bright and beautiful. I find the pencil easy to work with and easy to apply, never clumpy and easy to sharpen. I could always count on it. You will always find it in my makeup stash.

I ordered a set of the cheaper brushes that ELF has to offer, not really sure what I was supposed to do with them all. I had never used a foundation brush before and the thought of it scared me to bits. I had visions of painting in kindergarten, you remember the brush all loose and awkward in your hands, paint everywhere and your picture just dripping with wet paint. Now picture that on your face and you will understand my fear.
The brush was lightweight, and very easy to use, it was kind of like painting my face, however I got used to it pretty quick. Now, I can't remember how I ever put my makeup on without it.
If you are like me and nervous to try, I would recommend trying this, the price is right and I think it is well worth the money. IMHO.

Garnier Fructis Color Shield Instant Color Sealer

I always check the sale bin at my local Shopper's Drug Mart, what deals they have, (but that's another review) in the bin for $2.00 was a bottle of the Color Shield Sealer, as I had never tried a product like this before I thought, "why not".
Unfortunately I did not like the product at all. My hair is dry and frizzy to begin with, finding products to work with is very hard. The Garnier Color Shield left my hair dryer then normal and very hard to tame. I also found the color bled on my hands when I used it. I tried without the next day just to be sure. It has a very greasy feel, which would leave you to believe the opposite of what it actually does.
I am sure for some this product works well and they like or love it. For me however to be honest I did not like anything about it.
I will keep my eye out for other Garnier products on sale and give them a try, this one is just not for me.

Maybe too good. After using the other foam colour I was extremely gun shy, but again being given this product free to test out, I thought, "well it's only hair".
I have dark brown hair, so I choose VR3, I wanted a deep red, something shimmering for the spring and summer. It went almost black, however in the sun shine I have these gorgeous red highlights thanks in part to my grey roots.
It's a little different as it asks you to tilt, not shake to mix, don't worry it does blend and blend well. Once you start to apply, do not worry to much about rubbing it in, apply all the mixture you need first, then pretend it's shampoo. I left it on the extra 10mins due to my grey hair, however next time I will not. One thing I did notice was that there was no harsh smell at all, I did not choke, feel overwhelmed and could sit with my family instead of being forced to sit in the bathroom.
The colour rinses out easily, I usually need my husband to help, not this time, the conditioning cream could be better however it does the job. Over the next few days what I noticed most was that it did not bleed onto my pillow, come out after washing, or onto the towel while drying. I find that with red hair dye it can bleed or fade very easy, John Frieda has done a great job making sure this does not happen.
I will use this product again, I will just adjust the time and colour until I find what works well for me. I recommend that you do the same. As with anything what works well for some may not work for all. Give it a try, I think you will like it.

Moving to Kingston, Ontario was one of the best choices I have ever made, and this is the best time of year to start enjoying it. The water front comes alive, events start happening, music in the park and best of all. It's free. Kingston was the first Capital of Canada, the heritage is amazing the limestone city buildings are breathtaking and the waterfront is beautiful. If you ever get the chance, come for a summer visit there is always something to do. -

I was lucky enough to be offered this product free of charge, and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I have never had any luck with room scent products, oils, plug ins, etc, so you can say I was more then a little skeptical that the set and refresh would make any difference at all. Boy howdy, was I ever wrong.
I have a 12 year old boy, the last of my boys still at home, and he smells. OK, maybe not the greatest thing I've ever said, but at this age all my boys smelled. 12 is almost 13 which means, forgetting to wear deodorant all the time, gym clothes thrown were ever, only to be found when they stand up on their own and fight for air.
Nothing has ever helped before. Until now! What I did was open up the Set and Refresh, put it on his dresser, closed the door and promptly forgot about it. Hours later when he came home from school and shrieked as if he was being murdered did I realize, ah ha, it worked. The smell of fresh air knocked him off his feet. As I was barreling down the hall hoping it was the smell and he wasn't being murdered, something pleasant was filling the air. Not the regular odor of 12 year old boy, but of fresh linen (which by the way is my favourite smell ever).
So now ever bedroom and bathroom as a Set and Refresh, I find it does last the 30 days easily, longer if you forget, and because I have some-timer's (sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't), it's the perfect product of it's kind for us.
