When you want plumper lips and hate needles, forget lip injections and go for the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker XL. You will feel an instant tingling as you apply a thin layer of gloss that smells deliciously with a hint of dessert. My lips definately felt plumper, especially the top lip. Although the gloss is a bit sticky, I was pleased to find that it tended to thicken to an acceptable amount. -

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have a year-old Maine Coon cat that has a habit of not burying her fecal matter. This means a smell that truly leaves people running for the door. Although we relegated her kitty space pod box to the laundry room, it only meant pawning off the problem onto another room.
Enter the Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Complete Odour Sealing Clumping litter. I was pleased to notice the significant decrease in smell, even though my cat was still neglecting to bury the majority of her business. Removal was easy, because there was little dust blowing up in one's face, and the clumps did not break apart into little pieces. I did not notice whether there was a decrease on the amount of dust on my cat's paws, but the litter box seemed cleaner overall.

I love using this witch hazel for my skin. It is gentle enough to use everyday, and I find that it does not dry out my skin the way some other toners do, even though it contains fourteen percent alcohol content. Sometimes, using certain astringents will create this odd "tightening" effect on the skin, but with this one, I have not noticed anything of that sort. It is one hundred percent natural, as evidenced by its odd smell (not offensive, but it does have this "earthy" odour to it). I use it after cleansing my face, or showering when the pores are more open. -

The Aveeno Fresh Essentials Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller promises to reduce puffiness under the eyes, and dark circles. I used it faithfully for two weeks, twice a day, but I noticed no noticeable difference under my eyes. The roller ball is cool, and a refreshing touch to the eyes' delicate skin. I do not have any issues with puffiness, so I cannot say whether it helped in that aspect. I imagine that it would help a little bit, owing to the coldness of the ball. However, it did nothing to decrease dark circles, which frankly, I did not expect anyway.
The smell of the formula is pleasant enough, and application is easy with no mess or hands to wash. Nevertheless, I would skip this product for something stronger and more effective.

There are many things to love about Kiss My Face Peaches & Creme Ultra Moisturizer. Apart from the fact that it softens the skin, it helps to unblock and clean pores and gently exfoliate without harsh scrubbing beads, with its alpha-hydroxy ingredients. I apply this before going to bed to let it work overnight. It smells like peach juice, but not offensively so. The lotion's consistency is deceptively thin, but when it goes on the skin, you do have to rub it in well. I find it works well for quickly reducing red blemishes on the skin.
On the plus side, it is free of parabens, biodegradable, and not tested on animals.

Although no one in my family has a birthday in September, we did adopt a cat from our local animal shelter a few days ago. I decided to celebrate by ordering a traditional DQ cake in her honour (I have posted an image— “Welcome Home, Lilly”).
The variety of selection was far better that what one will find in stores. I was able to choose the shape, size, and image in accordance to what I wanted, and I could also choose the location for pick-up. I found that the designs varied according to each location, so when ordering online, one should check out at least two or three stores nearby to become acquainted with the available designs.
The cake was ready in a couple of days. When I went to pick it up, I was probably inside the restaurant for less than a minute, as there were no line-ups, and payment went through without issue. As a bonus, I also received a $3.00 voucher to be used for any DQ product at that particular restaurant.
The cake itself was delicious. I love the variety of flavours: vanilla, layered on top of a chocolate cookie crumble, and icing that melts in one’s mouth. This is definitely one for ice cream lovers.
In the future, I am more open to ordering our cakes online, if only because the selections are better. I would recommend this process to any friends who already buy DQ cakes, or to persons who have yet to try them.

The moment I took out a roll of Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue, I knew that at least the product would be thick. In comparison to my usual toilet paper, the Cottonelle version was visibly thicker and larger. Each square was plush no rashes for these tushes. I did not see any issues with clogging. Moreover, there was no tearing or leaking when in use.
I believe this is one of those products worth switching over, if only for a one-time trial. It is definitely a competition for some of the other brands.

I received this product to test as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. I rarely use cleansing cloths, owing to the fact that I have a bidet. Nevertheless, I find that cloths like these can be very useful when one is away from home, and participating in an activity where water is not readily available. Each piece of cloth is the perfect size (you don't want a towel!), and has a light scent. The cloth was wet enough, and did not dispense any dryness. I was also happy to see that it was strong, and there were no rips or tears after use. Bonus: you can flush it down the toilet without worrying about any possible clogging.
I do recommend that a dispenser be purchased, otherwise you run the risk of exposing the cloths to air and drying them out. Alternatively, a small Tupperware container may do the trick of keeping them moist.

I have one mouthwash I am faithful to, but I was quite willing to try a new alternative. Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse promises to freshen the breath and kill bacteria without the burn that comes from alcohol in mouthwashes. I did experience a mild burning, nothing major, but it was there nonetheless.
While my breath was fresh, it did not last long, maybe ten minutes tops. Moreover, you are not suppose to eat for thirty minutes after using this. I can handle that, but what I cannot contend with is the warning that such rinses may cause staining on the teeth (temporarily, the label claims). Apparently, adequate brushing can remove them, or the dentist can. That's nice, but I am not going to buy this product just to shell out serious dollars at the dentist's if the teeth turn darker. I think it is best to skip this one.

I received this product to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I was a bit surprised by the size of the head; it is much larger than my usual toothbrush. This did not prevent the Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health toothbrush from doing an effective job of cleaning my teeth. After each brushing, my teeth feel smooth, and the gum-line looks clear and free of any plaque. I was able to reach all the teeth, even the ones hiding in the back, and had no problem cleaning the corner molars.
I love that the bristles are soft, which means gentleness on the enamel and a prevention of tooth sensitivity. I do prefer my Oral-B rotating-oscillating toothbrush, if only because the head is a smaller, but this is a good alternative for those looking for a brush that will clean and eliminate bacteria and plaque.
