I only rarely use hairspray, on special occasions or when the weather is humid enough that I need a bit of extra hold and control, but when I do use it, it's always Tresemme's Tres Two. It does an excellent job of keeping my waves controlled and waving in the right direction, even on the really humid days. It helps tame my frizzies, doesn't leave behind an icky smell or make my hair feel "crunchy" or heavy. -

Hands down my favorite all-purpose cleaning spray. Does a great job in both the kitchen and the bathroom. Inexpensive and cuts grease like nobody's business!! I've even used it to get tough grease buildup off of the window frames, the tops of the cabinets and the top of the fridge in the kitchen. Nothing is too tough or grimy for this stuff. The scent is mild and not all irritating. -
Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food

I have five cats, three who can (and will) eat pretty much anything and two who puke up anything that isn't their regular brand of food, so I was hesitant to try this product. Their current food is a fairly expensive, grain-free brand, made from a blend of locally sourced chicken and fish.
Because I was worried it might lead to upset tummies and unpleasant surprises, I put the Nutrience food in only one of the two food bowls that we have out, in the hopes that doing so would help minimize the mess.
To my surprise, there was no mess, no upset tummies, and everyone seemed to enjoy the flavor. The packaging was sturdy, the food seemed fresh and didn't smell any better or worse than our usual brand.
According to a few websites I checked, the Nutrience Grain Free SubZero retials for less than my usual brand, but it's not on the shelves at my local pet store, so I won't be changing brands just yet. Our local store has a customer loyalty program that gives us access to coupons, occasional sales and a free bag of food for every ten purchases, so I don't want to change retailers. Hopefully, this product will soon be on the shelves at my local pet store.

I'm not sure it worked any better than my usual remedy - dabbing peroxide directly onto the cold sore several times a day to keep the area clean and disinfected and help dry the sores out faster - but I loved being able to wear makeup over the patch. No need to skip my usual lipstick or gloss, and it certainly did a better job of camouflaging the sore than my usual sad attempts with concealer and/or foundation.
Given the price I probably wouldn't buy it again unless I found myself dealing with a cold sore and having to attend a special event (party, wedding, restaurant outing, etc.) but if I wasn't living on a tight budget I'd definitely keep a supply of these in my medicine cabinet.
I've had cold sores once or twice a year for the last 20 years, so my breakouts aren't as severe as they used to be (the body gets used to the virus, so breakouts are less severe as time passes). I can't say how this would handle a huge breakout, but it did a fine job on a small one (less than 1cm across in the lower left corner of my lip) .

I like both the flavor and the texture of these. You can definitely taste the black pepper, and they have a satisfying crunch. They stand up really well to all kinds of toppings, from moist dips/salsa to melty cheese, without getting soggy - making them great for parties or for after-school snacks. -

I received a free sample of this, and since I don't actually have any children, I ended up using it on myself - as a facial moisturizer to be exact. Not only did it leave my skin feeling soft and smooth (without any oily residue), it actually helped to clear up some of the redness and puffiness I have due to rosacea. I was even able to reapply throughout the day without ending up with any irritation or clogged pores/pimples the next day. It really is "soothing" and given what it did for my face, I can only imagine it would be great for a baby's sensitive skin as well.
This has now become my "go to" facial moisturizer, it's the first thing I put on when I get out of the shower in the morning. It does a great job of keeping my skin looking healthy and smooth at a fraction of the cost of the more "traditional" facial moisturizers.

Yves Rocher Luminelle Beauty Mascara

I hate most conventional mascaras. I'm not looking to add volume, to plump, to thicken or to lengthen my lashes, all I want to do is bring a bit of definition to my lashes and darken them a touch. Make them stand out a bit more, without adding any clumpy layers of product, and this mascara does exactly that.
The applicator brush is slim and narrow, so you can easily get to the tiny lashes at the inner corner of your eyes (without getting mascara all over your lids or cheeks). The mascara itself is quite thin and doesn't leave a whole lot of product on your lashes, which is exactly the effect I want. My lashes stay soft and supple, even after two layers. If I want a darker, more dramatic look, I can add several layers of product, and it never gets gummy or clumpy.
If you're looking for dramatic lashes, this is not the product for you. If you want a mascara that defines, separates and darkens your lashes, without leaving behind nasty clumps or smears, this is the mascara for you.

For years I was a faithful buyer of the Moroccan Oil brand of argan oil, available only in salons and specialty stores, at a price point of $40 (or more, depending on the vendor) per 100ml. One day I noticed the Organix brand or argan oil in my local pharmacy and I thought I'd give it a try - at only $10 instead of my usual $40, I really had nothing to lose.
When I got home I took a good look at the ingredients list and couldn't help but notice that it was almost identical to the salon product. After only one use, I was hooked! The results were identical to the salon brand. My dry, heat-styled, colored and frizzy hair was soft, smooth and moisturized, for a fraction of the price I'd been paying. The Organix has the same color and texture as the Moroccan Oil brand, produces the exact same result and , as a bonus, actually smells better than the salon brand.

We have 5 cats and spend a lot of time cleaning our two litter boxes...No matter how vigilant we are, every once in a while, one of the kitties had an upset tummy, and a smelly poo :-P Adding the Arm & Hammer Cat Little Deodorizer to our generic brand cat litter really helps to keep things fresh and odor free, despite the occasional upset tummy. Don't know what I would do without it. Have tried other brands, and none of them have worked as well for us as the Arm & Hammer products -
