I know very well what "Heavy Flow" means, and the product in the subject is not exactly a good fit for it.
It is not long enough, not absorbent enough, and it has irritated my skin a bit.
Overall the quality of the material it's made of is good, just I still prefer the more expensive A brand.

Offering 200% more volume? No.
The mascara may create some more volume after at least two layers, but then it produces clumps at the same time.
The result that I have got - long, defined, doll-like lashes, just without 200% volume and with many clumps.
To efficiently remove the clumps I had to use another brush, which I keep for the purpose in my cosmetic pouch.
The Clump Crusher plastic brush is scratchy, and I did not like the feeling of it while applying mascara, for it has made my skin itchy while touching it at the base of the lashes.
Also, this is not the type of brush that adds volume to the lashes, it calls more for defining, so that has made me wonder why on earth Covergirl trying to convince that it does. My Estee Lauder regular mascara does a much better job in terms of adding volume and defining lashes.
Another disappointment that Clump Crusher mascara is on the dry side, which is again, not something that should come alongside with adding volume. It has to have a creamy texture for the purpose.

The product has a cooling-tingling effect that stopped from continue using it.
.
The conditioner did a good job for my hair, though I didn't notice any miracles. It's a decent product, that adds some volume, doesn't leave residue and have nice light scent.
When applied it has this cooling-tingling effect, that stays while the scalp is wet. Not my favorite part.
The positive note - I've got an impression that the conditioner it is safe for the color treated hair, for I didn't see any negative impact on my colored hair.

Revlon gold series nail clipper
Enough to say that my son who is almost 8 years old mastered the nail-clipping skill with this clipper. The little tool has sharp blades, comfortable to hold and feels good in hands.

Good taste and on top of it my kids love the tea.
I make it with honey, hot or cold.
Two points about the tea:
1) I would love to have a more distinguished ginger taste.
2) There is some aftertaste that I can't put my finger on.
About "natural flavor" ingredient.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) quote:
"The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional."

If I could, I would give Dove bars six stars.
Dove bars, White or Unscented versions, has been a staple in my bathroom for the last decade at least and I keep using it every single day.
I have dry, sensitive skin and with this bar around I have never had any issues, nor in the winter neither in the summer.
I'm using this soap for my kids as well.
Dove Bar is a keeper.

The product is heavily perfumed to the point it causes nausea.
At birth, infants are drawn to the smell of breast milk. If you apply this lotion on baby's face, as suggested by the manufacturer, your newborn may lose all directions, so strong the scent.
Recognizing mommy's scent bring babies comfort and security. What baby is supposed to feel when inhaling lotion's scent?
When we are bonding with our babies and smell each other's scent our bodies produce hormone oxytocin that associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building...
You've got my point.
As for its moisturizing qualities I have nothing positive to say either. I have applied the lotion on my hands for I have dry and sensitive skin that supposedly should have benefit the lotion. It made my skin feel tightened and I've got a sense of thin residue covering it.

So the set includes a doll with Rapunzel's length unicorn shaded hair, a small brush and a similar to hair straightener gadget that has a built in a small heating area that is safe to touch. When the not-yellow hair being placed between the gadget's plates, it changes its shade - brighter or darker, depends on the chosen mode.
The plates are getting warm only when the two gadget's plates manually pressed together. Three AA batteries are not included.
The doll has two types of hair. The yellow colored hair does not change its color (though permanent sharpie would fix it).
The other part of the hair: pink, blue, purple, orange and red, is altering its shades, so your little fashionista could style the doll with highlights, lowlights, splashlights, ombre, sombre, balayage, you name it...
To see the difference the hair should be brightened first and then color-darkened.
I'm not sure for how long that "back and forth coloring process" will hold kid's attention for its fairly limited options play. As just a doll with long hair, the toy is lovable and pretty.
The last thing I want to say a word about is the set's price. In my reviews I choose to omit the subject of the products' prices, but in this case, the cost-benefit ratio is not well balanced.

What a charming playset! Full of colors and cute small details.
My personal favorites is a double toilet and teapot with flowers!
I highly recommend when assembling to follow the Instructions sheet. I did not do it and as a result had to redo some parts, which was not easy for locking mechanisms are pretty tight, and I had to ask my hubby's help before I had my manicure scraped off.
I'm not a big fan of humanizing animals and vice-versa and Enchantimals dolls are not exceptions. Even as a little girl I was not fond of fauns, mermaids and centaurs. My kids ask me questions about the Enchantimals creations, but looks like they are fine with their anatomy.
Now to the dollhouse. It is beautiful from an open roof to patio's carpet. The shower that pocking out through the roof, the antique style chase long, the double lavabo - all these detailed parts are pure joy for kids' eyes.
The balcony, the shower tube and the patio table have small pegs to secure the doll or her animal. I believe that the patio table' top spot reserved for the pet.
If I had to choose between Barbie's house and Enchantimals 's chalet, despite my inexplicable dislike of the main mutant characters, I would give my voice to the latter.
