This body butter is not too thick, not too thin, and it smells like cupcakes meets creamsicle meets melons, just a pinch of vanilla, natural oils, and IDK. It's lovely and very natural and fresh smelling; nothing too harsh, just very organic and it really stands a part from other body butters BECAUSE of the smell--it's very unique, IMO. It is also a little different than other body butters, I've tried, because it's not really, really thick. Try it on RIGHT after you towel off from a shower so your pores are open and as much of the product possible can be absorbed into your skin. Your skin will feel like butter ;). The Company makes other scents, too, that aren't totally different, as they *seem* to have the same unique undertones, perhaps, but I have tried one that smells like lime and it's very nice as well, but I just personally prefer this scent. -
Soap and glory scrub of your life

I love this scrub. I use it in place of body wash as I tend to have dry skin, in general. Then, cream or their body butter right out of the shower, so it soaks in while your pores are open.
I gave this a 3 for 'value' because the tube IS very small and so IF you use it everyday, you'll go through it, very quickly, and, it IS a bit on the pricey side compared to other brands of body wash...at least, in Ontario, Canada. I don't know of another body wash combined with a scrub so I can't really compare it, fairly; just to other body washes. This company's body washes are great, too.
Just as everyone else says, the product smells great--very natural. I like this company, in general. Their body butters and lotions smell very unique, too. Sort of just fresh, not purfume-y or fake, or heavy smelling. Like, various melons, natural oils, and other fruits.
If you have fair skin or sensitive skin, I would NOT recommend using this on your face. I would also not recommend using it on your face if you have 'acne prone' skin, either, as it tends to irritate, due to the size of the 'scrubbing beads' (for lack of a better term) rather than exfoliate gently, which causes tiny pimples; likely, "folliculitis".

Crest 3D White Whitestrips Intensive Professional Effects

I hope I'm reviewing the right product. It's the most expensive ones and they are stretchy.
Many people have already mentioned that these cause the most severe nerve pain that it can prevent you from functioning. It's no joke. I've had root canals and surgery that hurt less, BUT this only lasts for about 4-5 hours. But, yeah, as others have said, you need something for the pain.
I used to buy the 'latest leading edge' type whitening system from the Dentist. Now, only, these, because it does the same job. BUT, incredible pain. To avoid that, use two hours before bed time. The pain usually starts around hour 3 for me. If you've experienced it, before, then do the math so you can sleep through the horrible pain. I have insomnia and so I wake up a lot and I DO notice the pain when I wake up but I can always get back to sleep and by the time morning comes, no more pain, and I've slept through it. Alternatively, or in conjunction, hold a good wad of 'rapid relief sensodyne' in your mouth for about 20 minutes--a feat, I know! Then, instead of doing them every day and then when you notice your teeth getting yellow again, use them once a week or every two weeks for 15-20 minutes. Cuts down the pain and honestly, I have used them for an hour, as directed, experiencing horrible pain, but I have never noticed a difference in 'effect' when I cut down the time to 15-20 minutes, BUT did notice a difference in the pain. Pain IS beauty sometimes but too much pain? She ain't worth it.
I know what I'm suggesting sounds a little more expensive but it really isn't--I buy a box maybe once every 6 months.
Another little caveat, the company after YEARS of making these strips stretchy AND the same size have decided to make one strip shorter than the other one. That is just greed, plain and simple. No one has a shorter amount of teeth to cover on the bottom or top. So. What I do is use two per session. Two longer ones for the front of my teeth. The two shorter ones, I do my best to use on the inner parts of my teeth--this is why I USED to use the 'Dental Kits' from the Dentist because whitestrips don't bleach the inner part of your teeth. The Dental Kits were 'trays' filled with pre-measured bleach. Using two at a time might cost a bit more money because you are using double, BUT, if you have the type of smile where you really can't see the inner parts of your mouth) obviously, no one sees the top inner side, not even you), then maybe you could just get away with, using ONE and a half, but use the longer one for the top part of your smile and then the two smaller ones for the bottom part of your smile. So, the next time, you bleach them, you have one longer strip left, and you use that one for either your upper or lower and then, again, two smaller ones to make a longer one. So, each time, you are using 1.5 individually packaged sachets instead of two. I have done this, myself, and the two smaller strips do make one longer one and stick just as well.
One last thing: try to dry off your teeth with paper towel and then quickly apply the strips. They will adhere better and you won't be spitting every 10 seconds...or, not as much, I guess--lol!
Hope this helps....er...at least, someone :).

Inebrya Ice Cream Hair Colour

I tried to write a review many weeks ago. So, trying, again...I hope it was not because it IS a negative review. I understand many people have liked the result. But, it's only fair to share ALL experiences, with others, not just the good ones. Especially, when they can be devastating and potentially help others.
I was told this was more of a professional dye and because of COVID no one can go to a Salon. I tried two colors in the blonde family because what I usually get done in the salon is highlights atop natural dark blonde hair. I was not too picky (if, at all) about what color blonde turned out as long as it was some kind of blonde. I purposely picked a blonde that was sort of in between my natural hair color and the highlights. I tried volume 10, 20, and 30 and each time my hair turned orange with random patches of really dried out, brittle blonde-orange. I have hair down to my waist and it is so dry, tons of it is coming out. I have only been growing it ALL MY LIFE. I should have went with ANY other box dye where I don't have to guess about the ratio and is easier on the hair.
I think there is a reason this stuff WAS professional and now is not and the cheapest box dye available in drug stores.
My hair has looked like total crud for 2 months now. NOT a very big deal, maybe, relatively speaking, but I have a terminal illness, so I am living each day like it is my last. THIS did not help as I've been walking around with a hat and hoodie it is THAT bad. Now, I have to wait a long while before I try literally ANY other box dye, that should work.
Steer clear if you have never used this product before or have never done a box dye. If you are looking for a 'pick me up' with all this COVID-19 business, my advice: use a 'tried and tested' brand where the ratio of dye to developer is built in, so no 'guessing games'.
