My hair is extremely dry - I have wavy hair, but like to blow dry straight - which equals damage and very dry hair. I really like this hair masque. The price makes this masque a bit on the high side, but it is effective. The hair masque has a good thick consistency but still fluid enough to work easily into your hair. The only thing that I didn't like is that it's not a bottle that you squeeze and away you go- it's in a container that you have to dip your hands in it to get the masque out. Love the scent - has a fruity smell to it. I was impressed with the hair masque after my first treatment as it left my hair noticeably smoother and silkier to the touch. Hair had an overall healthy appearance and feel to it. The effect lasted in between treatment periods and my hair feels much more moisturized - could really tell as I styled my hair - made it easier and drastically minimized the amount of frizz in the hair. This is pretty comparable to the product that I was using - which was the Vo5 oil. I will be recommending this hair masque to my friends and family. -

I have been using this shampoo for several weeks now and overall the product is pretty good. Love the scent of the shampoo - kind of smells like watermelon - very fruity. The shampoo was not overtly thick, but it has the right amount of creamy thickness - very easy to put on the hair. I noticed after the first wash - my hair felt a lot smoother, Usually when I shampoo my hair it feels coarse, usually have to put conditioner in it to feel smooth, but noticed that after the shampoo that it was feeling soft. In comparison to other product that claim to restore/moisturize - would have to rate this product more on the better end - although not the best product out there. It is a little pricey for such a small bottle. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone with damaged hair because it is pretty effective and the results are almost immediate! If you're looking to try the shampoo would highly recommend that you buy the intense repair masque too as they work together. -

Love this opportunity to review the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Tooth Brush, especially since I was always a manual tooth brush user for obvious reasons its cheap. After using the Oral-B Pulsonic tooth brush for a few weeks I can say I'm convinced that the manual tooth brush pales in comparison when it comes to cleanliness and effective use of your brushing time.
Just using the Oral-B Pulsonic on the first day, I noticed how smooth my teeth felt and not to mention my teeth felt so clean, the analogy would be washing your face with your hands, versus a face sponge- just feels that much cleaner.
I can already tell that the Oral-B Pulsonic brushes better and removes more plaque but it also massages the gums which is that added bonus. Oh ya very easy to use. Just push the button and off you go.
I would highly recommend the Oral-B Pulsonic, yes it is more expensive than your manual toothbrush, but sometimes a healthy mouth its a worthwhile investment.

So here's the thing - the strips are much longer for your teeth so you'll need to play around with it a little to ensure that the strips don't slip off your teeth. Make sure your mouth is dry - i.e. spit out your saliva because some of the peroxide will mix in with your saliva and instead of swallowing - I would spit it out. The taste also leaves a lot to be desired and may not be ideal for everyone. I had it on for about 30 mins and felt a bit of stinging, but as I have a high pain tolerance just left it on. Didn't keep it on for the full 2 hours, think I took off after 50 mins or so---just didn't have the patience for it and plus my gums were starting to get really sore and sensitive. My teeth do look whiter. I think to really see a difference your teeth needs to be a little yellow - stained from drinking too much tea, coffee or smoking. The sensitivity and the soreness did eventually disappear. The postitive points are: one treatment every 3 months, so ithe box will last you years and years, do see a difference in terms of your teeth getting whiter. The not so good points: 2 hours of having to leave on--think it's too long of a wait, messy and strips were too large and didn't adhere as well as they should have, sore gums and teeth, but this does eventually go away, and taste of the gel should you get any in your mouth is horrible.
Overall I'm not sure that I would purchase these again and am not sure if I am going to attempt a full two hour treatment. However if I had friends that really needed to whiten their teeths before an important event - i.e. wedding, prom, etc etc - I would tell them to try because I did see pretty good results of removing the stains from my teeth.

I received my Cottonelle Ultra bathroom tissue early last week as part of the PRC. My usual brand of toilet paper is Cashmere or Charmin. I was very impressed with the Cottonelle Ultra. It tends to be a little more pricey than other toilet papers, however pretty comparable to Charmin. The ridges made for a very effective bathroom experience - extremely soft and sturdy - and I found myself using much less toilet paper than usual as it's very absorbant. Another thing that can bother me with a soft brand is the fact that it can leave some of the tissue behind, and again I was happy to see that it wasn't a problem while using Cottonelle Ultra.
I would definately recommend this product to anyone that wants the better than average experience with their toilet paper. Yes I know it's a little more pricey, but for me so worth it as I want softness, sturdy and absorbent, which means I use less of the tissue paper. I would definately consider making this my everyday choice!

Overall experience with the Aquafina Plus Vitamins 10 Cal was very disappointing. One of the positives about the product is that it is sweetened with Stevia extract, instead of artificial sweeteners. The Fuji Apple Pear tasted just like pears (and a hint of apples) and was probably the best flavoured one in the 3 flavours that I received. The Strawberry Lemonade was not sour, but I felt tasted the worst. It had an artificial taste and boy did it really leave a bad aftertase. The Black and Blue Berry was ok with a nice berry flavour. You have to make sure that you really chill these drinks well because if you don't they taste really bad. I noticed that as the drinks became warmer, the flavour changed and it was not for the better. I'm a huge drinker of Vitamin Water and I have to say the Aquafina Plus does not compare in taste - athough shares a lot of similarities in the offering of vitamins/health benefits. I don't think that I would recommend this to my friends, except the Fuji Apple Pear flavour as that was pretty decent. -

Overall the Febreze NOTICEables Dual Scented Oil Warmer is a great product. The scent that I tested was the morning walk & cleasing rain which suprisingly had a light scent almost had a very clean, fresh smell if that makes any sense. I found the plugin freshener effectively eliminated odours as claimed -- and boy did i test it as I was cooking up a storm of fish, fries and some curry. It definately did a great job of eliminating all those cooking smells, much better than some of the other competitors i.e. glade. The unit is a little bulky guess with the 2 scents makes it a little bulkier than some others. The unit is easy to put together. My fav part of the unit is the lights showing the alternating between the 2 scents which is a nice touch - as it's not too bright and distracting.
My only negative comment about this product is that I didn't notice much of a different between the low and high settings. I started on the low setting and found it was sufficient to scent my whole condo which is about 900 sq feet. I did set it to high to see what I thought of it and I didn't notice any more scent in the air. However this was definately less of a over powering smell than another scent that I tested - lavender & vanilla. I would definately recommend this to all my friends.

Thanks to PRC I recieved the Maybeline Eraser to try out. At first it took awhile to get the foundation out on the applicator, but after about 20 turns it worked. I love the round sponge applicator and like that it's attached to the liquid foundation. The foundation does come on smoothly, but is a little wet, but that's ok as you use the sponge to spread it all over your face and does eventually dry. I like how it's very light and goes on very smoothly on my face and does not look heavy or cakey like some other foundations have a tendency to do. The great thing is that it does not rub off easily which is great for an all day wear. The makeup did cover up the age spots and also some of the fine lines around my mouth and eyes. There is no strong smell with the product which I like about it. I have to say that this is probably one of the better so called "coverups" that I have used. I would definately recommend this to all the girls and to my friends. Love it! -

Love Davids Tea. I use to be a huge Tealish fan - but find that as they only have the 1 location on Queen Street West it's not all that accesible. Davids Tea has now several location. I love their vast variety of teas and it's such a nice store. My favourite tea was their Watermelon tea that I believe is considered a seasonal tea. They also have a selection of nice gifts ranging from cups to kettles. -
