My sister talked me into trying the Neti Pot. The price is great, compared to other brands like HydraSense and you get a lot more uses out of the Neti Pot too..
You mix a packet of the salt mix with warm water, tilt head and pour into one nostril. I did this as the directions said, but my nose was too stuffed and nothing happened. Later I tried it again and got it to work, it was slightly unpleasant but when you get the hang of it it's much easier to do. When I was done I had the water-in-the-nose feeling like you get after swimming, but it didn't clear up my nose. Instead it seemed to make it more runny. My sister said to wait a few hours for it to work, but maybe my allergies were too bad. I have tried it another 3 times since then and got the same results.
Nothing spectacular!

I shop here occasionally, and their clothing is always the best quality you can get for being second hand. No stains or damage, and they always have a great selection of accessories, gear and toys! It's slightly difficult to shop if you bring your children as the isles are quite narrow, but that's the only complaint I can think of!
I have also recently brought them some of my old baby clothes and they made me a very reasonable offer on about 25-30 outfits and 2 exersaucers.
The staff was very helpful and pleasant! I'm looking forward to shopping and consigning my own items there again in the future!

I have 11 month old twins, I change a lot of diapers! I don't know what I'd do if Costco didn't have this amazing deal on baby wipes!
First of all, if you pick them up in stores they are $15 (CAN) for a box of 9 packages, so 900 wipes total.
They are unscented which is wonderful! They're as soft and as durable as Huggies or Pampers wipes and unlike some brands they don't leave that slightly slimy residue feeling on your hands after you handle them.
You can't beat the price for quality with Kirkland's Baby Wipes, I'm probably going to keep buying them even after my babies are out of diapers just to have around the house!

This is a wonderful product! Not only do I have uneven skin tone but with infant twins I rarely get enough sleep so I'm fond of any products that can mask my dark circles :)
A little powder goes a long way! I use a makeup puff instead of the brush they give you, its easier to control that way in my opinion. This does a great job on its own (I use it over moisturizer and primer), and it also gives your foundation a little help without looking too "cakey"! It does exactly what it says, and after application you have a perfectly even skin tone. It also helps a bit with oil control! :)
The price is already pretty reasonable for the amount of product you get, but if you keep an eye out for deals you can get this for between 13-15 dollars at most drug stores.
This is a product I'll continue to use for my every day makeup.

My 11 month old son has eczema and one of my friends suggested I try this lotion. I've tried all the big brand names and everything else in the baby isle at local grocery or drug stores but nothing seemed to be that effective.
I hadn't heard of this brand but I picked some up, and the same night applied it to my son's legs right after a bath. The texture is very thick but still easy to apply. It's a little greasy feeling but it was completely absorbed within 2-3 minutes. The smell isn't the most pleasant but it means there are no added perfumes so I didn't mind.
The next morning, honestly, it felt as if he had no eczema. I've been using it now on him every night before bed for a month and his skin is perfect! Some lotions would take away the dry patches briefly but this has taken away all dryness AND redness! I will never be without Glaxal Base again!

I have oily/sensitive skin. I also have about 10 different cleansers in my bathroom currently, most of which are too harsh, too perfumed or make my oil issues worse. But a couple of weeks ago I was shopping and this happened to be on sale. I heard good things about it so I decided to give it a try!
I'm so happy I did. The consistency is smooth and very pleasant on the face! It's easy to distribute and rinse off also. There is a faint smell, whatever chemicals are in the product but that is preferable to perfumes.
The first time I used it, I didn't use the moisturizer as I don't apply any before bed, but the next morning I felt like I had, and my skin was softer than it had been in a long time! In the couple weeks that I've been using this product I haven't had any new breakouts or redness/dryness.
The only small complaint I have it that it doesn't remove makeup well, but a quick once over with a makeup cleansing wipe/pad first does the trick!
The price is excellent (I paid 10 dollars for the large pump bottle and a bonus bottle of moisturizer at Walmart) for the amount, so overall this will be likely be in my bathroom for a good long while!

I have 11 month old twins, so we go through a lot of diapers!
Recently, instead of my usual Huggies, I picked up 2 boxes of Pampers Baby Dry diapers because they were on sale. First, I don't care for the smell. The scent itself isn't unpleasant but perfume soiled diaper smell isn't the nicest mix! It doesn't work to mask odors, if that is the intention.
Second, when these diapers are even a little bit wet, they turn very bulky very fast. The material used IS nice and soft, slightly softer than Huggies, and probably slightly more comfortable (when dry) for the babies. Unfortunately, this is also why they get so droopy so quickly and lose their shape (saggy bums = not so cute!).
Also, the elastic is maybe a little too stretchy around the waist and even when fastened tightly, they still threaten to fall off after maybe a half hour of playtime.
Overall, I think I'll stick to Huggies.

I was super excited about this product when I read about it. I ordered it on Amazon for about 10 dollars, which seemed like a great deal considering there are new prescription products available for 20 times that price.
Unfortunately, after about 4 months of regular use I haven't noticed much of a change. My lashes are softer, but otherwise that's the only difference. I had purchased it mostly for use on my brows (very thin and sparse) but I haven't noticed any change at all with them.
The product is sticky, and dries stiffly, which works if you plan to use it for a brow taming gel or a clear mascara but, when it dries you can feel it tightening. I only apply it before bed for this reason.
After reading so many positive reviews I had high hopes for this product, and I will continue to use it until the whole tube is gone (maybe another week or two), but I won't be buying it again.

Great mascara! Over the past few years I've been buying a different brand each time, and this one I think I'll keep!
I like the packaging first of all, it's not bulky and doesn't take up a lot of space in my makeup bag as some I've purchased in the past. The brush is awesome, short, thin bristles make application super easy! The product is buildable without getting overly clumpy, AND my favorite part? It doesn't flake off onto your cheeks throughout the day! You won't get the super thick "falsie" look with this one but it's a great buy if you don't necessarily want or need over-dramatic lashes during the day!
Overall, for spending under $10 dollars for a mascara you can't really go wrong with any from the Lash Blast line, I would recommend this one for anyone for everyday use!

I love Nexxus products. I have incredibly damaged (I like experimenting!), fine, dry hair. In the winter months especially it feels like a haystack. I purchased this because I had seen commercials and wanted to try it out so I chose the conditioner out of the ProMend line.
First of all, the smell is wonderful! Second, the texture is great, usually "daily" conditioners are rather thin and unremarkable but this is super thick and is easy to distribute through your hair. After I rinsed it out my hair was already noticeably smoother. After styling I did notice a softer texture and feel, the only thing it didn't help me with was static! But, that's another battle!
I would definitely recommend this conditioner, I plan on purchasing the rest of the line shortly!
