This toothbrush is ok. It compares to other similar toothbrushes and is fairly average. I felt that it was gentle on my teeth and gums. I really did not like the tongue scraper on the back as it was not effective at all. Basically it looks very fancy but does not do a better job than other toothbrushes.

Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse

I really didn't like the Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioning Shake. It didn't seem to moisturize my hair or protect it from heat styling. It didn;t seem to do anything other than make my hair look really dirty and flat. I tried it several times, using different amounts of product but it just didn't work, no matter what I did I ended up with hair that look really greasy and dirty- right after having washed and dried it. This product is a waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it.

I really liked how the Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light conditioner made it really easy for me to detangle my hair in the shower, I could comb the conditioner through my hair with my fingers very easily. The scent is nice, not too strong and it matched the Aqua Light shampoo so you can layer the scent and it's unified.
This is a really thick conditioner and I found it a bit hard to rinse out. I had to use much less conditioner than I normally do but it made my hair seem a little greasy even just after washing and made my hair a bit flat. This product might work better for people with dry hair.
This conditioner didn't fade my dyed hair.

I usually purchase Ivory soap because I like simple soap that isn't going to be too strongly scented, too drying or makes my skin feel gross. The Dove Beauty Bar really gives my regular Ivory a run for it's money. I was pleased to find that this soap did not bother my sensitive skin, and just like the commercials say- it really won't leave sticky residue on your skin! It's great for skin that tends to be dry as well- it probaby won't completely replace your body lotion but it doesn't dry our skin and does moisturize a bit.
The only drawback is the scent- it's fairly heavily perfumed and the scent is just too strong for my taste. If I find an unscented version of this I'll probably buy it regularly.
I really enjoyed this product and would definitely recommend it to others.

I received a free full size bottle of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Water-Light daily face sunscreen to review.
I really liked this product. It absorbs very quickly and easily, even though it is SPF 45 which I generally find to be very thick, hard to rub in to my face and difficult to absorb. It goes on easily, and leaves my face very matte and non greasy feeling and looking. Make up goes on great over top of this sunscreen, and it does not make the makeup run or smear. I never burned while using this product, even when staying out in the sun for several hours and I am very fair and burn easily. I used this makeup every day for a couple of weeks and it did not clog my pores or make me break out.
There are a fews cons. I have sensitive skin and the sunscreen makes my face burn when I first put it on, but it is very mild and goes away after a minute or two.
It is a very small bottle (40 ml, as compared to 88ml of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face sunscreen), and pretty expensive ( $17.99).
I found that although it goes on very matte (makes my skin look more matte than when I wear other Neutrogena sunscreens) it does not last nearly as long as the other matte Neutrogena sunscreens.
I would recommend this product to anyone who has non sensitive, very greasy or oily skin and needs to look quite matte for a bit...if you need to look matte and shine free all day I would recommend Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face sunscreen instead.

I was selected to try The falsies Volum Express by Maybelline New York and I absolutely love this product. it goes on very easily with no clumps. I find many mascaras are very gloppy and their wands need to have some of the mascara wiped off before using, usually in the first week when the product is new and full. I did not have this problem with the Falsies at all.
It made my lashes look fuller and longer, not in a "obviously wearing a thick layer of mascara" kind of way, more like a higher end brand of mascara. It's not sticky and it doesn't make my eyelashes stick together which is nice. However, I wouldn't necessarily wear this if you need a mascara that's going to last a really long time ( like if you wear it to work, and then go out afterwards). It does smudge a bit if it's been worn for quite awhile. it's perfect for special occasions because it gives you gorgeous lashes. Two thumbs up!

I tried the Dulce de Leche flavour from the Breyer's Smooth and Dreamy line. I didn't really like this ice cream. The dulce de leche swirl in it was good but the rest of the ice cream had a very bland flavour and a strange texture. It was a bit thicker than soft serve ice cream but with a strange sticky and foamy texture to it. I realize that this was a half the fat type of ice cream but I have had other fat free or low fat ice creams that were much better. Depending on where you buy it, it's about $8-$10 for a large tub (a bit under 2 litres) which is a lot more than most ice creams, and way too much for ice cream that doesn't really taste good.
Maybe the other flavours are better, but i would not recommend this ice cream.

I'm sure everyone who has heard of Twilight knows about the plot so I won't rehash that. Instead I'm going to talk about my mother. She does not really like to read, not a big reader. She hates, HATES, books about vampires and the supernatural. She does not like teen books, or romance books, or teen romance books. And teen romance vampire books? Forget about it.
But I made her read Twilight. And then she asked to borrow New Moon. And then went out and bought the rest of the books. Even if you think you won't like Twilight, give it a chance. You might be surprised.

This is a great sunscreen for people who have oily skin and want a sunscreen that won't make them too shiny. The Ultrasheer Dry Touch with the lower spf such as 15 would make for a better daily sunscreen but this one is perfect if you will be heading to the beach or otherwise spending a lot of time outside. It's a bit difficult to spread and to rub in, and it may not work under all foundations in case you're planning on wearing makeup over it. Overall, it's a great sunscreen. No weird smell either, which is a definite plus. -
