Where do I begin with dry shampoos...My first experience was about four years ago during a hospital stay in which I couldn't shower for a week. My mom had picked up something new she found at the drug store which was a dry shampoo. Of course it turned my hair white and clumped into what looked like extremely bad dandruff and so I never used it again. I was excited to try this product hoping that in the last four years since my first experience they would have found a way to perfect dry shampoo. I have been trying to wash my oily hair less to prep it for a red dye job so this package came at the right time as I was looking for a way to keep my hair from looking greasy in between washes. Honestly they haven't perfected dry shampoo enough for me yet. I do love the idea and wish something was available that didn't turn white or hold onto the oil and turn it into white dandruff flakes. Unfortunately the Dove dry shampoo goes on white, takes forever to rub away the traces of white powder, and then gives me what looks like dandruff. The only redeeming quality is that at least this smells really nice.

I'm not usually one to wear a lot of product in my hair so this one was a challenge for me to try out. I used it for a night out and was quite impressed with how lightweight it is. I'm not sure how well it would hold up to say using it to set curled hair or anything, but it helped keep my flyaways in check for a night out. I'm still undecided if I would actually purchase this product since I would use it rarely, but it is nice to have it in my stock of hair items just in case.

At first I was sort of afraid to test this product out because I have naturally greasy hair. I do have dry damaged ends from straightening my hair daily so I tested this product out on the ends only. I really love this product after using it. It makes my hair look and feel healthier and I don't feel it in my hair which is a huge plus for me. I have tried hair oils and treatments before but I could always feel the slick oils in my hair and felt like it weighed everything down and made it feel dirty like I needed to jump in the shower and clean my hair. This product will last awhile for me since I apply it only to the ends. I do feel the product size would be a bit too small for someone with long hair that is dry all over but for those who need ends treatment only this is the perfect size.

The conditioner pairs very well with the shampoo in giving me shiny hair that isn't greasy or weighed down. I did notice that this shampoo reduced the amount of static I was dealing with during the cold winter days, and it made my dry ends look nourished and healthier so I can keep procrastinating that hair cut I am overdue for.

I received this product to review through the review club. Previous to this I was using another brand of toothpaste and brushing my teeth with that and a bit of added baking soda right after drinking things that stain like coffee. My teeth do tend to stain easily so brushing with baking soda is important for me to be able to keep my teeth from being stained in between dentist visits. This is a great all in one product that does work well compared to my previous method and eliminates the need for me to add baking soda to my brush as I was with the previous toothpaste I was using. -

I always avoid mouth wash because of that burning sensation the alcohol causes. I am very happy that this does not burn and makes me feel like using it religiously instead of trying it once and then being too afraid to try again. I like that it feels like it's adding a protective layer to my teeth after rinsing with it. I can definitely see why it says to wait 30min before eating and drinking after since it does feel like it leaves something behind on your teeth to aid in the protection of your teeth.

I received the package to test out from chickadvisor on Friday and immediately tossed my old toothbrush since it needed to be replaced but I have been too lazy to venture to the store and weed through a million toothbrushes to find one reasonably priced.
This toothbrush is actually pretty great! I do find it a tad too big for my mouth still, but I am hoping maybe I get used to it at some point. I really love the tongue scraper and the rubber parts on the sides. They clean out everything stuck in my teeth and leave me feeling almost like I just left the dentist.

I have been an Always brand user for awhile but I normally use the ultra thin slender pads that are supposed to be great for teens. I'm not a teen but I don't have much of a flow so they work really well and aren't overly bulky. I find that these pads for me were only useful at night when I slept because the back was wider so that I wouldn't leak out onto my sheets if I slept on my back. I found the wideness of them a bit uncomfortable to wear all day, as well as them being too long front and back to wear during the day and still feel comfortable. I felt like people could see my pad at the front and back through my shorts because of how long they were. I would definitely like to see a smaller version (maybe another great for teens type) for me to even consider purchasing them.
I also find the scent of these products a little odd. I'm not quite sure what it is but there is something about them that sort of smells like a floor cleaner to me. I also thing I may be allergic to whatever is used to make them scented since I normally don't have problems with other Always products and these made me itchy. I would really like a non scented option or else I don't think I would be able to purchase them again. The itching sensation was definitely noticeable while only wearing these pads and I felt like I had to re-arrange myself or scratch the itch when I had them on.
I love the packaging of the Infinite products and wish that Always would consider changing all of their products to a box format. It makes it much easier to store and open and close without having a ripped open bag sitting around. The coupons inside are a great bonus as well because I find feminine products seriously over priced. I mean come on manufacturers make it a bit cheaper for us ladies since these are practically necessity items!

I received this product to review from Chick Advisor.
I love the packaging of this product, though I feel like it's a tad bit over the top. I mean it's not like I am going to put it out on display so to me it doesn't need to be this designed and pretty for me to want to use it.
I have a flow that is generally too light to even use tampons without it being uncomfortable. This time was no exception. I found them too thick for my light flow and it took a bit of time and effort and I didn't feel like it was comfortable at all during both inserting and removal. They are definitely way too absorbent for my needs. If they came in a smaller version I might consider trying them again. I'm not sure a plastic applicator is as comfortable to try and use compared to cardboard but it's hard to judge when neither is a comfortable fit for your flow.
The resealable wrapper is great to conceal them in when you dispose of them. I live with a male roommate so it's definitely a plus to be able to try and hide it to keep him from being grossed out.
Overall I really don't see me switching from pads anytime soon unless they come out with something thinner for lighter flows. I just find pads quicker and easier when I really don't have a huge need for a tampon in the first place.
