love liquid eyeliner but my biggest problem is finding just the right one. I've spent hundreds of dollars since 1993 trying to find a liquid eyeliner just like the brand I was using. I was using Maybelline's liquid eyeliner, but they changed their ingredients, and it no longer worked as it use to. It would constantly flake off.
The problem I kept running into in looking for a decent eyeliner was all the liquid eyeliners would flake or crack off, as though it was made as mascara, not eyeliner. I have personally tried every brand under the sun, even brands sold at the Dollar Tree in my quest of finding the perfect liquid eyeliner.
I never once thought of trying Wet N Wild, because I didn't even know they had any liquid eyeliners. It was my best friends daughter who told me about them when I shared with her my troubles of finding the perfect liquid eyeliner.
Wet N Wild has several types of eyeliner to pick from and a wide variety of colors to choose. I decided to go with the Wet N Wild Mega Liner 861 Black Noir, as the blacker the better. It's not water-proof but it did claim it was long lasting. The Mega Liner comes with a nice brush applicator just like the liquid eyeliner Maybelline makes. This gives you the smooth one stoke effect, like painting with a paint brush.
This Mega Liner is used for the upper eyelid, to create that 1960's cat-eye look. Apparently this is the eyeliner a lot of Goths use.
You can get Wet N Wild Mega Liner at any Walgreens or Rite Aid store. The problem with getting it at Rite Aid, is it's not often in stock there as much as it is at Walgreens. So I would recommend going to Walgreens first, then Rite Aid. I had to end up contacting the manager of my local Rite Aid just for them to stock it.
Because this eyeliner is not water-proof I wouldn't recommend it for people who wear contacts, have allergies, itchy or watery eyes, or people who cry a lot.
Wet N Wild Mega Liner should run you no more then $4. If you've paid over $4 then you have paid too much. Common price for this product is anywhere from $2- $3 and often buy one get one 50% off or even free. Keep an eye out for these deals at your local Rite Aid store.
I rate this eyeliner a 9 out of 10 stars, and only because it's not waterproof.

Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner

After trying the previous Wet N Wild Liquid eyeliner, I decided to try the Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner. It's a bit more expensive then the Mega Liner, and that's why I didn't try it at first. I purchased 881 Ultra Black / Ultra- noir, so it helps make my eyes stand out.
Because Wet N Wild products are so cheap, they are popular among the teens and youth of America. It can be very hard to find these in stock anywhere. If you are facing problems ordering this product in your local store, contact the manager of your store, or order it online. To avoid shipping costs, and delays speak to the manager of your store. Walgreens and Rite Aid both sell Wet n Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner online.
Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner has a felt-tip brush that they claim makes it easy to put on. WRONG! The felt-tip brush actually makes it harder to apply then the Mega's brush. Imagine using a marker to put on your eyeliner with, that's exactly what you are using. It's pointed yes, but still leaves you with less control then a regular paint brush applicator. Because of it's stiffness you are left with uneven lines when you apply it to your upper eyelid. You can't make the line thin like you can with the brush applicator. The felt-tip applicator can sometimes be overloaded with the liquid which can end up making a mess you can't clean up, as it's water-proof.
I would recommend purchasing both the Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner, and the Mega Liner. When you want to use the Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner use the applicator from the Mega Liner to give you the smooth fine appearance you desire.
Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner should be no more then $4, often sells for just about $3.99. If you've ended up paying more then $5 you've paid too much.
Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner Comes in the following colors: Smoky, Black-Brown, Espresso, and Ultra Black. Rumor has it, that Wet N Wild will be coming out with new colors for their liquid eyeliner series in the coming year.
I would rate Wet N Wild H20 Proof Liquid Eyeliner 9 out of 10 stars. If you need a liquid eyeliner that is water-proof then this is the one for you. I only rate it a 9 because I don't like the felt tip, and found it hard to control.

for night time teeth grinding. It runs about $30 and has a comfort fit guarantee. So, if you aren't happy with it you can always get your money back even though it claims one size fits all. The Dentek Night Guard is designed by a dentist so it's meant to be designed to fit you better then leading brands. The night guard comes with its on storage container to keep it nice and clean. It's a rather clever container too as it has a draining tray within it, unlike any other mouth guards I have tested.
Dentek Night Guard comes with complete step by step easy to follow directions and even includes a coupon on their other line of products.
Setting up your Night Guard can be very hard because you have to do it quickly and exactly as the directions say or you will end up having to do it again. You can only set your Dentek Night Guard so many times, at which point you will have to do a return of the product as it will be of no good use to you after the third attempt.
Dentek Night Guard is very slim, not at all bulky like other night guards. To me it seemed very small but, apparently it's not as it did the job very well covering all my teeth. It's light weight too and I have tested many other mouth guards, this one is about the best I have found so far. However if you have a large tongue, the type that sits between your teeth you are in the same boat as me, and that is no night guard seems to be good enough.
It's very hard to sleep with a night guard in, because there is still nothing on the market, even this one that is thin enough to fit across your teeth comfortably, besides what the dentist make.
There is nothing in the back of the Dentek's Night Guard to prohibit it from moving off the back of your teeth, and if like me you have all 4 of your wisdom teeth, this doesn't extend back to those teeth. It stops short of the one before.
I don't just grind my teeth during the night, I grind them when I'm mad and that's during the day. So I need something that wasn't too bulky that if at work I could slide it in without any notice. Dentek's Night Guard was still a bit too bulky to talk clearly with it in my mouth but it was the securest fit I have found thus far.
In total of all mouth guards I have tested I would have to say, save your money don't spend it on this one. Go to your dentist and have a custom one made. Yes it may cost about $150 to have one made, but in the long run it will save you from broken and damaged teeth, and that would cost you a lot more then $150!

Colgate 360 Manual Toothbrush

I'm very picky when it comes to products and services I use. I often won't take advice from a friend or family member regarding something they like or dislike, as everyone is different even when it comes to family. But while in Tennessee with my cousin Jeff who is much like me in the respect we don't waste time with small talk. When we have something to say it's worth being said and listened to. (I'm not being egotistical, I'm being honest and logical.)
Jeff mentioned how he finally found a toothbrush worth talking about. I listened closely as I knew this was about to change my life in the area of dental care. He asked me if I ever used Colgate toothbrushes before and I hadn't. I'm a Crest gal. He handed over to me one of the new Colgate 360 toothbrushes and said here try this.
My first impression of the Colgate 360 toothbrush going on appearance alone was, "boy that's the ugliest toothbrush I have ever seen." It has a soft rubber undercoating where the color is that you would pick from to use. Mine of course is pink. It has a soft non slip dark blue thumb grip on the top and bottom. The underside of the head of the toothbrush contains a tongue scraper that scrapes the sides of your inside cheek as you brush the side teeth. The bristles on the brush are a whole other story. They start on the outer top and bottom as a medium blue shaped like a v going upward to downward fading into little tiny purple circles inside those circles are white brushes. In the center of that is a half blue circle on either side, lined with a purple circle inside and inside that the white brushes again. Weird huh? You have NO idea! You can see more details about the Colgate 360 toothbrush here.
I started with putting the toothpaste on the Colgate 360 toothbrush as usual and then began brushing. It was like I was using a battery powered toothbrush or had some sort of bionic arm that was moving so fast my mouth started tingling! I took the brush out of my mouth and looked at it confused. Stunned in amazement I put it back in my mouth and brushed the other side. Tingles everywhere, I took the brush out again and looked at it and said to myself, "no way!" and continued brushing my teeth. When I was done brushing my teeth with the Colgate 360 toothbrush, my mouth felt better than it did when I went for a cleaning and a fluoride treatment. It was like my mouth took a vacation and went to a day spa. Every bit of my gums, tongue and teeth were tingling.
This will save me hundreds of dollars at the dentist and I have complete faith it will you too! I just pray they don't take it off the market. Just in case they do, you better believe I'm stocking up on this baby. 360 is true, it's a whole mouth clean like you have never had before! Throw away those old toothbrushes or use them for cleaning because your mouth is about to experience a whole new level of clean.
The only thing that I would do to make Colgate 360 toothbrush better is, I like hard toothbrushes not medium, and hard are nearly impossible to find because dentists say it takes the enamel off teeth.
I rate this product a 10 out of 10. Colgate 360 runs anywhere from $2 to $5 all depending where you shop.

L'Oreal Feria Professional Color Moisturizing Treatment

For those of you who have thick full body hair naturally, I know your pains all too well. It seems no mater what moisturizing treatment, conditioner or shampoo we use there is nothing that makes a comb let alone a brush make it to our scalp. And sadly before I had found this product I never knew how wonderful I could feel after washing my hair.
Let me share about my hair. My hair when unconditioned looks like a wig, it's that huge. Using this product a nickel size covers my hair, which is down to my waist, and as thick when pulled into a pony tail as an 8 oz glass.
I use Loreal products to color my hair, always have since learning how bad Clariol is. Well Loreal Feria works wonders because their coloring comes with the best conditioner I have ever used. I colored my hair because my hair is so thick that coloring makes it thinner and easier to manage. Well no more coloring simply to achieve the ability to comb my hair.
You know when it says a nickel size is all you need and you think yeah right? And how the samples in the post are never enough? This product is one that all other conditioners and moisturizing treatments need to follow. There are others like myself in the world who do have great hair by birth but need help to not make it fuller but make it flatter.
Loreal Classic Salon Products Feria Professional Color Moisturizing Treatment, which you can pick up at any Sally Beauty Supply Store in a 6 fl. Oz. bottle from about $6 to $8. If you are a frequent shopper you get your 10% discount. This may sound expensive but if you add up hair coloring verses the moisturizing treatment and the advantages of longer stronger hair it's well worth it. It's easy to pass up as it looks the generic products of the past. You know plain black and white, nothing special looking. I guess they chose to save money on design and put it all into the product itself, and that was a wise choice.
You are to leave the moisturizing treatment on your hair for 2 minutes or more if you wish. You will notice while applying it that your fingers make it through your hair with ease unlike other conditioners where your hands get stuck. When you rinse the moisturizing treatment out of your hair, your hair will seem to disappear. You can feel how soft your hair is even while rinsing. It appears to melt in your hands, taming down as it has never tamed before. Making straight hair dreams a thing of the here and now!
I have a natural wave to my hair like a perm, Loreal Feria conditioner makes my hair 100% awesome! This moisturizing treatment makes hair shiny too as well as healthy, though it says on the bottle silky, yes I'd agree silky smooth.
Another great quality this moisturizing treatment has is smell. Smells are very important to me. It smells fruity but I can't quite put my finger on it, and the smell will last for days. It also doesn't matter what type of shampoo you use with this moisturizing treatment, it works with every type. I know because I tested it.
Once again on a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 10 by far! I just hope and pray it's never pulled off the market. I have tried every conditioner on the market including professional products such as Nexxus and Redken. None of them do what Loreal Classic Salon Products Feria Professional Color Moisturizing Treatment does.
When I first started using this conditioner everyone noticed the change immediately. Now all I hear is compliments on how wonderful my hair looks and feels and people asking me what's my secret. Well the secret is out, but only for those of us with full thick hair who want thinner smoothly softer hair.
