I love this new Garnier Lotion. I chose the Aloe scent as it is the lightest (after opening all the options available in the store).
It absorbs quickly and is not all greasy.
I don't think I would go 7 days before using it again, but it certainly does moisturize well and last on the skin!
Since my old standby (vaseline Intensive Care) changed their formula and their fragrance has gone waaay over the top, I can't use it in my scent-free office, so I have ditched it after decades for this and haven't looked back. Great timing Garnier!

Conair Ion Shine Instant Heat Hair Setter

I have long straight fine blonde hair. Fine hair, but lots of it. My experience with curlers prior to this was that my hair would style, then go straight after about an hour or so no matter how hot I dried, how long they were in or how much spray I used. I gag remembering Final Net - anyone else remember Final Net??
If I use the Conair Ion Shine hot rollers using mousse (or another product) my hair will hold the style most of the day, which is saying alot for my hair!
I have had my hot rollers for years and the product keeps on trucking. I have broken the lid and now have it hinged on with tape and it still works just fine.
The clips that come with the three sizes of curlers work very well and hold tightly so your hair will not fall out while setting.
Very good product overall.

I am 39 years old, fair skinned and I spent a lot of my youthful summers in the sun. So I have sunspots, lots of them.
I use 'The Supernatural' Concealer Palette by Philosophy as it has three tones for fair skin (also available for other skin tones).
The palette has the three tones of concealer, a mirror and a small brush applicator.
I apply prior to foundation everyday to correct my dark spots. It stays on and matches no matter where they are.
I can't find this product lately, so if anyone knows where I can buy it, please comment! I am sold for life.
note - I went to a dermatologist to have my sunspots checked and he wondered why I was there as the concealer hid them all! I had to remove my makeup (which I wear natural, not caked on) so he could examine them. That is pretty darn good in my estimation!

I found the Crest Whitestrips very easy to put on and that they stayed in place for the required time.
As for effectiveness, I saw a slight whitening, but not much. Luckily my teeth did not feel sensitive as other advisors had noted.
I do agree that the adhesive, though efficacious, was a lot to get off after the treatment.
Although the Whitestrips did a decent job for the price (in comparison to a salon on dentist's treatment), I did not enjoy the length that I had to wear them for the whitening achieved.

I bought this product (with a mailed out manufacturer's coupon thank heavens) as I much prefer cream eyeshadows for application, richness of colour and longevity.
I can say unequivocally that with this product you should pay the cash and move up to a boutique brand such as Clinique or Pout for quality.
The applicator splotched on an uncontrollable amount with the graceful and useful-ness as a wet noodle.
The eyeshadow itself felt wet and seemed to take a while to dry, while gravity settled it into the crease of my eyelid, ruining the look I had intended.
Sorry, but this is not a winner Covergirl.

Bliss Steep Clean Cleansing Milk is a product that is applied to the face, left on for a minute or two to dissolve oils and dirt, then rinses off.
I have been using this product for a few years and find that it does as it promises, cleanses deeply.
It leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth, not tight or dry like some other cleansers.

I love this unassuming and bright summer scent. The notes are 'aquatic' as the name declares, arriving at their refreshing amalgam by marrying lotus, pepper and mint.
I wear this lightly and am able to avoid any ruckus in my sadly 'fragrance-free' office.
This has been my Summer scent for a few years and I have yet to find anything worthy of usurping its' crown.

I love love love this product!
I am a perennial buyer of 3 and 4 sided buff and shine maincure products. My problem with other products is that ergonomically you can only ever use part of the tool to get at the nails and therefore are throwing them out without fully using the available surface.
The Revlon Shine To Go Nail Buffer is smaller and has more points and crevaces so you can use the whole buffer to get to your nails. There is no huge 'leftover' space in the middle that you can never use. The actual smoother and buffer qualities are on par with other 2 surface buff and shine tools and has left my nails smooth and shiny, just like I love them :)
Plus, they are super cute looking and easy to throw in a travel case or your purse. I think you cannot go wrong with these little lovelies!

I have tried this product with the Shampoo both with and without the rinse out conditioner. I definitely prefer using it with the conditioner.
I am surprised that I feel this way, as I often skip conditioning and use products such as this with shampoo alone. With this line, I have found that the products are so cleansing and light that I can use all three together without making my hair 'piecy' or oily.
It has the same nice smell as the shampoo and conditioner and works great on frizzies and flyaways.
I am grateful to be a tester for this line as I will definitley continue to use it.

I very much enjoy using this product as it leaves my hair weightless and soft, just clean.
I found the scent very nice and light.
My hair tends to get greasy if I use conditioner, so I skip this step a few times per week with other products but do not need to with Pantene Pro V Aqua Light as it conditions without leaving residue or weight! I love it :)
