I am so happy that I bought this balm. It makes my lips feel moisturized and soft while adding that little extra shine. My shade is the 418-Caring Coral. It matches my natural lip color really well and on days when my lips are pale than usual, this balm makes them look and feel about right again.
I love that the gloss retracts like regular lipstick tubes. The pretty casing also snaps shut so there is no worry of the balm popping open and ruining the inside of my purse.
The price is affordable and it doesn't need to be retouched it for hours! This is one of my favorite products in my makeup case and I will definitely buy more in the future. I totally recommend this product to all friends, family and followers!

I love that an old dude friend suggested this for my eyes. I bought this eye roll-on and am so happy that I did! As soon as it is on, my tired eyes feel refreshed. While my eyes still have the dark circles - they no longer FEEL like they do! I love to use this after waking up, after a shower and before putting anything else on my face. It's sort of my eye primer, if you will. Sometimes I also just use it to perk my eyes back up after staring at the laptop screen or reading for hours on end.
The bottle suggests to "apply to the eye area in light circular movements". However, my face - especially my eye region - is not big enough to do circle motions. I just lightly swipe it from the near the inside bottom eye corner to the outside bottom corner, and another strip right under that since my bags come down kinda far. Then, I do the same on my eye lid - doing light strips all the way up to the bottom of my eyebrow ridge.
It feels nice and cool going on and stays cool for several seconds after. There is no smell and it is hypo-allergenic so perfect for the very sensitive skin of the eye region.
I totally recommend this product to all friends, family and followers! I will definitely buy this exact product again, many times in the future.

I love the feel of this moisturizer going on my skin after the shower. It has such a beautiful scent that is just perfect - and not overwhelming like the Kirkland stuff I tried once. As the bottle directs, I put it on my still wet arms and legs after most of my showers. The bottle suggests to use a dime size amount per arm - but I find using a dime size amount gets both the arms done. For the legs, is directs to use a quarter size amount per leg - again, I find just one gets both moisturized. I've been noticing that when used right after my legs are shaved, they actually hold their softness for a couple days longer than when I use other or no moisturizers.
I totally recommend this product to all friends, family and followers! I received this from a sample package and will definitely buy it in the future.

This pencil is far too cheaply made and it scratches. It does not sharpen properly and it is very rough on the eye. In fact, after the first few tries, I stopped using it around my eyes and now just dab a spot on my eyebrows on rare occasions. It does a fair job when using it to fill eyebrow spots.
I bought this liner on the same day in two colors (601A - Baby's Got Black & 603A Simma Brown) more than a year ago and both pencils are still pretty tall. They now stay in my makeup case to remind me to not buy again.
I do no recommend this product for eyes. I do (slightly) recommend it to be used sparingly on brows, if you have nothing else and only when needed.

I like this exfoliating cleanser because after using it, my face feels softer yet tighter- but not drier, which is a huge plus to me. I use my hands for the whole process from wetting face to exfoliating to rinsing. It is easy to use, comes off easy and only a small amount is needed to get the whole face and neck clean.
The bottle does say that this cleanser is perfume free - I suppose in a way it is. The scent though, is a sterile one that makes me want to get the cleansing my face job done quick. Thankfully, it does not leave that smell on my skin. I think this small issue is worth ignoring for what the product actually does for my face.
As the package directs, I kept it away from my eyes, being sure to exfoliate just my forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. This will be a nice "treat" for my face and I will use it about once a week to get the grim out of my pores.
I received this product as a birthday gift and am probably going to purchase this product in the future. The regular price is in line with other cleansers I use and have tried. I recommend it to all friends, family and followers that want the deep down face clean.

I buy this BB Cream Beauty Balm in the Fair tone. My skin shade has been medium to dark olive nearly my whole life - but these days it's dropped to a bit of a paler color. I am inside most days now and this is the perfect cream for the new daily routine, when staying indoors. As soon as my face is clean, this product is the first thing I usually put on nowadays. It makes my face feel youthful, soft, truly clean, moisturized and just pretty! It really gives my face a kiss of life that even I can see in the mirror. The cream softly and perfectly blends with my face.
Absolute best part: there is no weird chin/jawline discolorations, thanks to the fact that Marcelle products actually works and adjusts with my skin tone thru the day.
The downside to this cream is there is no SPF formula mixed in, so it is not a good one for ladies that head outside at all during their days. Hence the suggestion that this is an indoor-use product.
My favorite parts of this product are that it is easy to use - just need on squirt to do the whole face - and, of course, that it's Canadian Made. It's also hypo-allergenic and 100% perfume free (and it REALLY has no smell...not like other products that make that claim and give you a medical stench).
I totally recommend this product to all ladies that are staying in for the day, but still want to be ready for the cute mail person or nurse or doctor... Yes ladies, my research shows that they only hire the cute ones. ;)

I was selected to try this product free as a member of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. The product is not sold in any of the stores in my town (I checked Canadian Tire, Walmart, Pet Valu, Global Pets, Sobeys and Superstore). The Walmart here finally ordered me in a box at the beginning of April - but it was the wrong size for the discount coupon that was sent by ChickAdvisor. The regular price of the Clump & Seal LightWeight litter is double the price of what I usually buy for the same package size of the Purina Tidy Cats brand. So, at that time I was definitely not prepared to pay the difference.
Finally, at the end of April (and long passed the review deadline - which I was gratefully excused from), I was able to pick up the proper size box using the ChickAdvisor coupon! That box was purchased in the city - an hour drive away from the town I live.
My impressions of the product itself are quite positive! I am glad to have finally found it. If I had to do it again - I would totally pay the difference on that coupon for the larger box. Here's why:
The first thing I noticed was the nice carry handle on top of the box. On one side of the box, there is a perfect diagram and instructions of how to keep a litter pan properly cleaned. That was useful. I was surprised when I read that by scooping and topping up daily, that I only had to do a total empty and sanitizing of the litter pan on a monthly basis! With the usual litter - I have to do a total empty-out, wash and fill every week.
When I used this fact calculating the cost - it shows me that I can get away with buying one box every 2 months! With my usual stuff (and having to change the whole pan out weekly), I go through the same amount of litter in less than a month - making me have to usually buy two jugs of litter a month. Thus, costing the same as this Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal LeightWeight Litter in the end.
My suggestion, for the brand - is to put the fact that this product only needs to be completely emptied monthly in big and bold on the front of the box. That way it will make more sense to buy it for those of us out there that shop with a calculator.
The other side of the box promises that the litter "destroys odours on contact." This has been fulfilled over and over again throughout the last week or so. Before using this litter, when my kitten would poo, the whole apartment would stink for at least an hour. Like - a gagging sort of stink. Now, he has a poo and I don't even know it til I see him wiping his paws on the heater (I know, he's weird, get over it lol). He also doesn't flick all kinds of litter onto his mat under his litter pan anymore. This is nice - because I can finally walk into my bathroom with bare feet. Like the package says- his pee really does sink down and form one big pee puck at the bottom of his pan.
Now for the big promise: 100% Dust Free. Just to be clever, I poured the box from a standing position so that I was a bit higher than usual. A comfortable pouring stance, if you will. Normally, I've got to bend right down there to avoid kicking up too much dust, hold my breath and jump in the shower right after filling the pan to get the gross smell and feeling out of my pores and off me and my PJ's. Not with this stuff! I was able to comfortably pour the recommended amount and there was no dust! I also like how dark and soft it looks. I'd like to think that my cat appreciates the softer stuff too.
I think the name is confusing to some people. They see "LightWeight" and think 4.08kg is going to feel like 2kg, so that's what their bodies tell them when they pick up the box. Honestly, I'm not sure what LightWeight means either. Is it the finer grain of sandy litter? Is it that this is truly Dust Free? Who knows - at any rate - if you follow the directions on the box, you will be surprisingly pleased with this product...if you can find it.
With all that being said - I will not purchase this product when it runs out. Only because when it's time to get litter, I want it to be on the shelf in front of me. Not almost an hour away in some other city. If I could trust that this product were to be always carried here in town, I would permanently switch to this product. But buying it once every two months, I just can't see myself going through such a hassle.

My kitten has been eating Purina Kitten Chow for his whole life. I love the easy to spot pink bag. I like that the bag reseals for freshness and the price is a lot less than I expected! As a first-time pet parent, I honestly had no idea how much to feed my little fur ball.
The instructions were right on the bag! That made life so much easier for me.
Also on the bag is an invitation to join the kitten club. Thru that link, I found a wealth of information that has kept my little guy growing smart and happy every single day of his life.
As for how Coal likes it: The small pieces fit into his mouth and they sound easy to chew. It doesn't smell too bad either so it's easy on me to feed it to him. His fur has also always been soft and shiny.

Q-tips are the only ear swabs in my home and my travel cases. I always get the biggest box I can find - and they usually have a little bonus attached to the package so that's always nice. Q-tips are soft and easy to quickly and safely remove gunk from my ears, from my kitten's eyes, from window panes.
The one and only time I ever tried another ear swab I regretted it before the thing even touched my lobe. The other brand was really cheap and the cotton was so thin the stick actually jabbed me right in the ear. Not cool - other guys..not cool.
This is one product where you truly "get what you pay for" - shell out the extra buck or two - your life will thank you.

I've used Vim Cream Lemon Scent many times over the years. It has a great - and light - smell that allows me to finish the cleaning job I start without gasping for air (like other products do to my senses). It really cleans up the bathroom nicely - makes everything all shiny and new. I've even used it on outdoor furniture to clean off mud and whatnot. -
