I mainly use dry shampoo to keep my blue hair bright for as long as possible and regular washing can ruin it fast. I wanted to try something new as I didn't care for Tresemme brand dry shampoo and find it impossible to locate Algemarin brand dry shampoo in my area.
I bought got2b Rockin it mainly because it was a new brand and on sale ( I bought 2 for the price of one). I'm glad I risked it, I thought it was very effective and worked well all day. my hair, especially my bangs looked clean and dry. the smell can be a bit strong at first, it is reminiscent of a lemon scented cleanser but you do get used to it and it doesn't linger in your hair either.
you do want to make sure to spray it as directed, if you do it too closely you might find it difficult to blend in the white into your hair, especially if you have dark hair. I would likely buy it again. After months of looking in drugstores I finally have quite a few more options, so I may try those out as well.

I love this eyeshadow! I love wearing very dark eye makeup, but it can sometimes be difficult to find a black eyeshadow that isn't too sheer. I'm always on the lookout for very dark, very black eyeshadow and have bought many different brands throughout my makeup wearing years.
I found hard candy meteor eyes (aptly named "Black Hole")at Wal-Mart and tested it on my hand and was very excited with what I saw and for about 6$ I thought, why not give it a try. I was really pleased with the results. It' was very pigmented and had a really nice texture. Black Hole is , well black, with little silver flecks in it. It is definitely worth a buy, I haven't tried any other colors but I imagine they are just as awesome as Black Hole.
I am definitely going to buy this again and would recommend it for anyone who, like me, loves dark eye makeup. Apparently it can be used wet or dry, I haven't tried it wet but I think I will soon.

I received my Cottonelle Ultra bathroom tissue early last week. I was looking forward to trying it out and comparing it to my (mostly) usual brand Cashmere Ultra. I was really glad I got to try it out as I normally would never spend that much on toilet paper.
One of the things that bug me about "soft" brand toilet paper is that it can be "dusty", toilet paper dust is what I call it. If you hit the roll you can see it, so that's the first thing I did. I was happy to see no toilet paper dust, but it still felt very soft. The ridges made for a very effective bathroom experience and I found myself using much less toilet paper than usual. 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. Me and my boyfriend were really happy with it, it was soft and sturdy at the same time.
If it was a little less expensive I would definitely change brands, I will keep my eyes open for when it goes on sale and will definitely stock up. Cottonelle Ultra is something I would recommend to people.

I never really needed extra volume in my hair, mostly because of how it was cut and styled but as I grow out my hair( and a bad haircut) my hair really needs it.
I've used Infusium 23 in the past and always liked it a lot. I hadn't bought it in a while and saw it on sale so I figured why not give it a try. I thought it worked really well, my hair had great volume and looked great. There really isn't much else to say, I think it's a great product and it's very effective. I would buy it again, even if it wasn't on sale.

My boyfriend got this for me as a Christmas gift and I'm so glad he did.
I'm very picky about scents. I hate things that are overly powdery or floral. I thought this one was fresh and has a nice fruity smell to it. It wasn't too floral-y or strong.
It stays on and I don't have to spray a ton on me to be perfumed for the day.
I love the packaging of it, the cylinder bottle and tube it comes in is so pretty and I plan on reusing for something, I'm not sure yet, but it's worth displaying. I can't say much about the price as it was a gift. I can be a tad frugal but I think it's worth the money.

It was such a nice surprise to have received this along with the cleanser. I usually don't like to stray from my usual brand of moisturizer because my skin is sensitive and can gets dry patches, but I thought it would be good to try with the cleanser anyway.
I loved the smell, it was really light and fresh. It went on really well, and it wasn't oily or greasy. My skin felt instantly smoother. I also noticed that after using it my skin wasn't shiny which is what happens when I use my other moisturizer. Using both did a great job at prepping my skin for my makeup. It was more even toned and I didn't have any annoying shiny spots that I usually have to deal with.
The only thing that would be a problem for me is the price, it really isn't that bad, but I'm on a pretty tight budget so I probably wouldn't be able to buy it again unless it was on sale. If I had a bit more money though I really think it could be my brand of choice. I would recommend it, especially with the cleanser. I think they work really well together and is definitely worth trying, at least once.

My first experience with a Garnier skincare product was quite disappointing so my expectations were on the low side.I was happy to be able to give Garnier another shot.
I thought it was pretty easy to use, I did find myself squeezing the bottle harder than I expected to. The brush itself looks harder than it is but it felt quite strange when I first used it. Like some kind of alien life form massaging my face (strange but it's what I thought when I used it). It was nice after that though, like getting a mini facial massage every morning and night. It made for a nice, gentle exfoliation which is great for my sensitive skin ( and my obsession with exfoliation).
Scent can be an issue with me but I thought it was light and pleasant. A nice change from other, medical smelling products. My boyfriend even commented on how nice it smelled. My face felt really refreshed after using it, especially when paired with the Garnier skin Renew Regenerating day cream. My skin felt soft and smooth. I thought it really did a great job at prepping my skin for my makeup, it went on better and looked great.
I think it's a good idea though I would probably made it easier to squeeze and perhaps designed differently for holding it which was a little awkward for me. I didn't use it in the shower because I like to see what I'm doing, besides I didn't really find it to be messy. I can't say my skin is more even toned as I haven't been using it long enough but I'm confident it will help with the overall appearance of my skin.
I would recommend it, especially if you have sensitive skin and prefer frequent exfoliation. I think the price is right, it is more than I am able to spend at the moment but I would be willing to spend a bit more on it.

I was recently given this mascara by a friend who ,I believe, got 2 from this site.
The first thin i noticed was the smell. It isn't very pleasant and is a little strong at first but I was able to get past it when I put it on.
I was really pleased with the results, it gave me really long and defined lashes. I did find myself having to wipe some of it off the comb before applying it because it was a little much and left a few minor clumps.
I got used to the smell and it didn't stay with me all day so it wasn't a big deal.
I really like this and have been using it a lot, i admit the price is high for me and I would not have used this had I not been given it for free. If i had more money to spend I likely would buy this because I loved the way it made my lashes look.

As an anti perspirant it does it's job and has a very nice scent that isn't too strong. As for the claims, I admit I wasn't expecting any real results. I was quite surprised that it did actually work. I have darker, coarser hair and after a few weeks of using it it was much finer. I also noticed quickly that my underarm skin wasn't as dry as it had been. It helped hydrate it.
It did it's job as an anti-perspirant and I didn't find it to leave a lot of white in my shirts.
It's something I would recommend to people who do have coarser hair and dry skin under their arms as it certainly helped the overall appearance and condition of my underarms.

Every time I went into the Rexall, i would admire this lip gloss, with a 20$ price though, I was hesitant to buy it.
I was lucky to finally have the chance to buy it for 10$ and decided to give it a try. I bought it in a pretty light pink shade. I fell in love with it! The color was really pretty and full of shimmer. Not big pieces of glitter, but small little sparkles with a nice high shine effect. It didn't have a nasty taste to it, a bit fruity actually, and it stays on pretty good. Even after the initial high gloss is gone (from a kiss or drinking water) you're still left with a nice shimmery pink pout.
I loved it and would push my inner cheapo aside to purchase this again at full price.
