this is a great brush for use with loose or pressed powder. I bought it to go with Studio Gear's pressed powder, but I've tried it with mineral makeup and bronzers and it works great with them as well. It's really well-made, with natural bristles and a wooden handle. I've had it for many months and it has never "shed" or matted down. It applies powder and mineral makeup very smoothly, without the cakey mask look. It is more expensive than your average brush, but a good quality brush can last many, many years. This is definitely a good quality brush. -

I usually have a hard time finding powders. First of all my skin is extremely pale, and even the lightest of most powders are too dark. I also have combination skin that happens to be sensitive on top of that. I was so glad I found Studio Gear's pressed powder at Ulta. The light powder was perfect for my skin tone, but it also worked well on my sister, who is a few shades darker than I am. It goes on completely smooth, and it's not obvious that you're wearing powder. It lasts a long time, but I have found that on hot days I need to reapply it. It works especially well with Studio Gear's #10 brush. It does contain talc, which I usually avoid, but my face doesn't feel itchy or turn red, so I don't mind too much. It's worth paying the $23 for this powder. -

I've been using this for about a month, and I was totally surprised to find that it really does work! I've tried other teeth whiteners, and this one worked better for than the rest. Instead of using trays or strips, you simple squeeze a little out on top of your toothbrush with your toothpaste and brush as you do normally. You can use it everyday (up to three times daily), and it takes no longer than brushing your teeth. The taste wasn't too bad, but it does have that distinct whitening gel taste. Usually whitening systems make my teeth a little sensitive, but I haven't noticed any problems with this. The only problem I had was getting it out of the bottle. You're supposed to store it on its cap and tap it before using to ensure a good flow. The first few times I had a hard time getting it out of the bottle, and it squeezed out way too much when it did come out. Overall, it's a quality product, and you can't beat the price! -

Nature Made's folic acid (B9) seems to be the most effective of all the folic acid brands I've tried, and it's one of the cheapest. Aside from it's usefulness for those who are pregnant, anemic, or have other diseases, it's also a great supplement for hair growth! After taking Nature Made folic acid for about a year, I noticed significant hair growth, in both new hair and length! -

I've tried a few different styles of Crocs, and while they were pretty comfortable, they're just plain ugly. These are definitely among the less-ugly. They're very easy to just slip on, and they're good as shower or pool shoes. They don't give the best support for your feet, but they're a pretty cheap flip flop, and a bit better for your feet than Old Navy-style flip flops. These definitely aren't my first choice in footwear, but they do serve their purpose as shower or garden shoes. -
