This rinse does a great job of making your mouth feel fresh, clean and great after the recommended 30 second rinse. The taste is less jarring than other mouthwash brands but it still has a long lasting fresh feel. I would recommend against gargling with it (a bit of a surprise). The only problem I see is the recommendation to not eat or drink for 30 minutes after use. That's fine at bedtime but for me, I brush my teeth before I make coffee... not willing to give up my morning coffee for my mouth rinse.

I love this toothbrush. I like that it's firm without feeling super abrasive, the silicone or rubber side bristles feel like they are really cleaning and it is a solid feeling brush in my hand. I felt like my teeth were really really clean after using the brush, especially when I used the Crest Prohealth toothpaste with it. If I could say one thing it's that the head is very large. It took some getting used to around the back teeth but by the third day or so I didn't notice it anymore.

Crest Pro-Health ProFresh Toothpaste

I liked this. My teeth felt very clean after brushing. Good flavour, not too minty but minty enough to wake you up in the morning and feel fresh after brushing. I like that it wasn't super foamy; I brush for a long time and don't like my mouth filling up with toothpaste foam. Good... I will buy it.

THIS PRODUCT STINKS. I bought it to use while running on my lunch breaks, but only used it once. The scent is powerfully chemical and it irritates my nose badly. I have it in my desk drawer at the office...every time I open the drawer my nose itches again. I am never sensitive to scent, but bought the fragrance free because my office is scent free.
This product is probably very effective; it's approved by the Canadian Dermatology Association, is photo stable and blah and blah and blah. It's only effective if you can USE it though, and I think the smell would drive most people away.
I know I will never use it again... time to take it out of that drawer I guess, and round file it! Yuck!!

Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings

This is a nice little compact. I found the tweezers too small for anything but emergency use, and I'm not the type of gal to carry my brow kit with me so didn't need those, really. The wax is nice and I like the powder. Good little brushes. A bit pricy, but since I think it will probably last me my entire life (and possibly well into my next life), it's reasonable value. -

I have lots of Quo brushes, partly because where I live, we have few shopping options & Shoppers and Walmart are all we've got for beauty supplies. I like the selection of brushes a la carte in the store, although I find them a bit pricy. I always watch out for the 40% off deals on the Quo brushes in the flyer.
I like the eyeshadow, liner, contour, blending, concealer and foundation brushes a lot. I have had poor experiences with their blush, powder and retractable travelling brush however. I can't stand when a brush leaves bristles all over my face. No matter what, you can't get rid of the bristles! The retractable brush came apart, so I had to toss it.
Conclusion: I think any of the short bristle brushes are really good. Long bristle brushes, try the Body Shop.

Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Lotion

I am very fussy about body lotion; hate sticky, hate oily, greasy, stay on the skin, smelly lotions. This is NONE of those things. I live in the Yukon where the air is very dry. Every year, my hands crack if I don't use good lotion frequently. I have gotten into the habit of using Aveeno Active Naturals (the lavender is my favourite) every day after showering and before bed. My skin is gorgeous; it's soft, supple and no signs of cracking all winter long. It vanishes quickly into skin without leaving an oily feeling, hands are moisturized without being sticky and the unscented is perfect for my scent free workplace. Short story, Love it! Thanks! -
Clairol Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam
Didn't like this at all. It was terribly messy and difficult to use, the colour didn't cover my grey at all, and it was flat and lacklustre. What colour did take faded very quickly except where I splashed it all over my bathroom. If you are going... +
Didn't like this at all. It was terribly messy and difficult to use, the colour didn't cover my grey at all, and it was flat and lacklustre. What colour did take faded very quickly except where I splashed it all over my bathroom. If you are going to create a foaming hair colour, it needs to foam out of the bottle more easily and be a better product. Gimmick might get me once, but not twice. -

I love this cereal. I don't eat cereal, as a general rule, but this is great. I feel like the carbs I am getting are complex, and high quality so I am happy to have this with my greek yogurt in the morning. It really does hold me right through 'til lunch. I like that it is high in protein, and that there are nice big crunchy clusters right through to the end of the box. I honestly can say I have not consumed any whole box of cereal in my adult life until I tried Kashi GoLean Crunch. I am now on box 3, and have 2 more in my pantry. Thanks! Great product. -

I love the colours, the fragrance, flavour. This is a pricey lip gloss, not one for the tween budget, for sure. The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the sticky factor. I found it sticky, and sticky has me wanting to find a tissue NOW, no matter how it looks. It sure has shimmer though... -
