This toothbrush is much more than your regular variety of power toothbrush. It promises to keep gums healthy and reduce stains too. After a week of using it, I haven't noticed any stain reduction yet, but I expect to with continued use.
The Oral B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush was easy to set up and get started. It''s a good compact size and design. It's also lightweight and sleek. Once I got into the groove of using it, I loved that it felt amazing on the gums. The pulsing is very different from the spin type of toothbrushes I've tried in the past, but it didn't take long to feel comfortable. The setting for sensitive teeth was much appreciated and worked well for me. My teeth feel and look very clean every time i use it.
I normally alternate between a rotating electic brush and a manual one, but I have permanently switched over to this toothbrush (and sometimes my manual one too).

As awkward as it might seem to have to write about toilet tissue, the truth of the matter is that everyone needs it and uses it. The Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue is an excellent product and one I'll continue to use. It's different from other bathroom tissue because it's a thick single-ply with a unique quilting that offers the perfect balance of strength and softness. It's a clean, comfortable experience every time! -

The product mixed easily and well and the application tube with comb were very good but there wasn't quite enough to get all the grey hair around the temples and roots. I left it on for 15 minutes to get full coverage for all the grey hair, but it wasn't enough to cover some stubborn greys. This might be also because I ran out of the product. The colour was great. It matched my hair perfectly. There was no deep conditioner included, but I used one because it was necessary. I hope that the fact that there isn't one will help to keep the price lower. I might not buy this but i would recommend it to friends with less grey hair to cover at the temples and roots. -

Acai berry and grape seed oil are supposed to be terrific antioxidants so I wanted to see if it would make any difference to my hair. I wasn’t sure if this product worked as a leave-in conditioner or a hair gel, so I gave it a try to see what happened.
I styled my hair as usual after applying a small amount to my damp hair. My hair was soft and shiny all day. I’m hoping that the UVA & UVB Protectant helped to protect my hair while I was outside. Together with the shampoo and conditioner, I found that these colour shield products really helped my hair colour to last longer. I’m now a fan!

The first thing I noticed about the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo & Conditioner was the great scent…so fresh and eye-opening first thing in the morning. It worked just like other shampoo and conditioners. I found that a single wash and rinse with the shampoo was enough – no need to repeat. My hair was smooth all day. I do wash my hair a lot and recently spent lots of time outdoors enjoying the summer weather. Nothing fades hair colour faster than the sun, but these products seemed to give me some extra time until my next date with the hair colour. Very nice. -

I thought I couldn’t find anything better than my 10-minute product but I tried this hair colour anyhow just to see how well it covers gray hair and I was absolutely delighted with the results. It was easy to mix, had a pleasant scent and went on smoothly. Even though I had to leave it on for 25 minutes, I kept myself busy doing other stuff. Thank goodness the little accidental drip around my hairline wiped off perfectly without any telltale shadows. After rinsing and conditioning, I found that my gray hair was well taken care of. My hair stayed soft and shiny and didn’t take on that dry, brittle feel that some products cause. I found that the colour lasted well during the four weeks while using my own shampoo and conditioner. It was even better when I re-coloured my hair and used the Color Shield Shampoo, Conditioner, and Instant Color Sealer products. The colour is still going strong and the grays haven’t crept in yet. I’m happy! It’s definitely the best approach to go with colour protecting shampoo and conditioner after investing the time and money for hair colour. I’d buy this hair colour cream again – 535 Chocolate Caramel…it looks great if I do say so myself! -

This scent is so different from anything I’ve ever tried before. I read about it in a magazine article and thought that I NEEDED to try it out. I ordered it online together with my sister – sharing a bottle for USD $135 is better than making such an impulsive purchase on one’s own. When it arrived, we both tried it on immediately. It was completely different on both of us, yet it was ultra appealing on both of us. We surveyed a couple of girlfriends, our best gay boyfriends and a few random males at work. The consensus was that it smelled sexy without being overly flowery or sweet. In fact, it’s a woodsy scent that might even have a hint of leather in it. Molecule 01 is completely appropriate for men too. It’s such a pleasure to try something unique and a departure from the same old glamour scents. Did anything out of the ordinary happen to me while wearing this scent? Well yes – a complete stranger came up to me at a restaurant and handed me a beautifully handmade painted wooden cardinal that he said he crafted himself. He asked me to hang it up when I got home. That was so sweet of him. I wonder if it would have happened if I was wearing my usual Coco Mademoiselle? -

Nothing works better as an anti-aging product than a good sunscreen. While most sunscreens feel greasy and play havoc with your skin colour, this product didn't. It went on light and non-greasy. The days I tested it were really humid, so my face looked very shiny and greasy, but that was less of a problem on a less humid day. It stayed on for hours under my makeup, but I imagine you'd need to re-apply it on an outdoorsy day. All in all, I'd say it's a winner! -

I did see a subtle improvement in the puffiness around my eyes, but not a lot. The dark circles weren’t totally gone, but they looked somewhat better after a few days and my concealer did a great job on that as well.
I'd use this during the party season in November and December or if puffiness became a full time issue.
I really need something more hydrating at this stage in my life, but this is certainly a good little fix to use as needed.

I applied the serum morning and night to my cleansed face and neck as instructed. I tried using it as both a primer before applying moisturizer and on its own. It worked wonderfully both ways. I love the fact that it contains green tea extract which is a proven antioxidant and important for addressing environmental damage to the complexion. It also contains Vitamin E – very important for combating fine lines and keeping skin soft. This serum does not contain sunscreen, so don’t miss that step before heading out each day.
My skin immediately felt softer and smoother. My face looked hydrated and not at all greasy. My skin looked nice and bright too. Makeup went on exceptionally well.
