I received this for review from the Product Review Club (thank you very much) and liked the styling of the package. Being 32 I'm starting to notice and appreciate products like this marketed for my age range rather than my mother's. I liked the look of the bottle, but found it dispensed a little unpredictably for the first few days. It would give way too much on one pump and then none on the next couple. It worked itself out though and began to give just the right amount for each eye with each pump which was nice.
I waited to review this product for longer than the recommended week to see if I could notice any difference in my eye area. I do have a few small crinkles coming in the outer corners and a small line under my lower lids but I didn't notice any changes in these over the almost 2 weeks I have used the product. What I did notice was a reduction in the redness around my outer corners, which was probably a touch of dry skin. The cream was light but moisturized very well. I enjoyed the cool tingle I felt after applying and it was odor-free.
I wear contacts and would apply this in the morning before putting them in and had no problems.
Perhaps the key to a cream like this is to keep using it as prevention rather than correction, which is what I plan to do. It's a good price for a nice product and I'd rather those little lines not get any bigger.
Thanks again!!

I received my sample of Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash and have used it religiously for the last week. I found it pleasant, but not enough to change from my usual Olay brand.
I found that while it moisturized well, it wasn't any different from any other cream dry skin formula body wash I have used in the past. I still needed to put on moisturizer afterward. The scent was okay, but I prefer something less baby powder/ old ladyishy for lack of a better description. I also didn't like that the bottle can't be set upside down.
Overall, it was a good body wash but since I prefer the scent of my usual Olay brand and there's no other noticeable difference I wouldn't switch.

I found this mascara to be terrible. I got crazy clumps no matter how lightly I tried to apply it and it flaked into my contact lenses. I have the waterproof formula and it's impossible to remove. I used soap and two different eye makeup removers and it still was not completely removed.
I gave it two tries, I'm throwing the rest out.

Thank you to the product club for sending me this item.
I usually wear liners only as tampon back-up but I found myself using these on a daily basis. I like how thin they are and how the adhesive is very strong so they don't bunch up. I would prefer if they were individually wrapped. I found they even worked in pantyhose, a first for me and liners.
I did find them a little too thin for me while I was on my period, I switched back to a heavier liner for more coverage. I would highly recommend these as an everyday liner for all panty types. :)

I really like this lotion as a hand cream rather than a body lotion.
I find that it's rather thick when I apply it as a body lotion and needs a lot of product to cover me unless I use it while still wet from the shower so I started using it just on my hands. I prefer it to the Hand Cream that Vaseline makes in this same line because it absorbs quicker and is more economical (the bottle is larger).

I love the smell of this body wash, it's got me hooked. Don't worry about smelling like a hippie, the patchouli is a very light addition to a lovely scent. :) The body wash lathers very well and rinsed clean, without an oily or greasy feel, My skin felt soft, but I still need to use body lotion.
The size (250ml) for the price (6.99) was a little higher than most of the body washes at Shoppers Drug Mart, but it's worth it for the wonderful smell.

COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain
I like this product, I don't find it as drying on my lips as the regular Outlast products, but I do find that it needs something over top of it to give it some shine. Also, it doesn't last as long as they say, maybe 3 or 4 hours.

I really like the mint taste and tingle of this product, but I don't find that it has enough colour. I have tried the pinkest and the reddest colours they have (605 Everything's Rosy and 630 Red Riot) and they both go on exactly the same, clear. I like to apply this product over their Outlast Lipstain as a shine enhancer. -

My first job at 16 was cleaning hotel rooms in a tight, light green short sleeved polyester shirt. I sweat so badly that I used to line the armpits with Always Thins Maxi Pads, the ones with wings because they covered more material. Then I tried cardigans, I had a cardigan for everything I wore to cover my pits, I planned my whole wardrobe around what didn't show sweat.
I read about Drysol in a Dear Abby column (I kid you not, this was about '94, way before Google) and IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. I wish it was mandatory teaching in school health class. If you have a problem that laughs at Secret or Degree Clinical, ask the pharmacy counter people for Drysol.
Thanks again Abby!!!!
