I bought Pentene Ultimate 10 BB Creme when Fall hit and I noticed my long (past shoulder length) hair was getting too frizzy for my liking. My hair is very thick and straight with a little bit of natural wave past my ears. I have dandruff (very dry scalp) and my hair will get oily if I don't wash it every 3 days.
I can't comment on anything to do with actually styling my hair and using this product, or even when it comes to combining it with blow drying as I do not blow dry my hair.
One major thing I don't like is how this product isn't the least bit natural. The price is also a bit steep, but one bottle will last you a very long time if you use it the way I do. I use about a dollar size amount to cover my entire hair and I only really do it for special occasions.
I'm not too fond of the smell, but it thankfully becomes more faint as time goes on.
I do find that it leaves my hair looking just a little bit more shiny (my hair is pretty naturally shiny as is), but more importantly it does the job of smoothing the majority of my fly-away hairs.
As to the advertised benefit of repairing damage, that is simply impossible for a hair car product to do. The only thing that fixes damage is a hair cut.
But even with these cons, I do recommend Pantene's Ultimate 10 BB Creme because it does the job of smoothing hair. Which is the whole reason I bought it.

Secret Invisible Solid Anti-Perspirant

I went from the gel kind, which is truly invisible and doesn't get on clothes, but you pay extra for and actually get less product, to this. Secret Invisible Solid Anti-Perspirant is not invisible. Anything that is white in package is not invisible. The only kind of deodorants and anti-perspirants that are invisible are the gel kind.
I bought the Invisible Solid because it came in a two pack for cheaper than my usual Secret Invisible Gel antiperspirant, so I figured I would try it out. My original one was also unscented, which is nice, but this one was a vanilla and it actually smelled pretty good. I have noticed with it on the smell doesn't turn funky like most scented deodorants or antiperspirant.
I wish there was more positive things to say other than liking the smell and the price. But the fact that when I apply this product it immediately applies white, and then it gets all over my clothes and it clumps up in lovely disgusting little clumps under my arms... it's friggn' gross. I totally regret ever having spent money on this false advertising.

Special K Popcorn Chips

If you love popcorn, eat popcorn. If you love chips, eat chips. If you love both, get them separate because Special K does not do a good job with their 'Popcorn Chips' snack. Yes it's light and airy, but it's also super crunchy and almost stale tasting. Even the popcorn taste itself, while faint, is more of an afterthought and it's like eating week old popcorn. I was not at all impressed with Special K's Popcorn Chips, and I definitely will not be buying again. -

Little Big Planet is more fun to play with someone else than by yourself. Some of the levels are pretty challenging, especially if you try to go for 100% completion. And while it is enjoyable to play the game by yourself, it just adds to the enjoyment you get from the game if you play with two people or more and it's co-operative. I find two players the best, but any more than that and it can start getting a bit chaotic on the screen.
I don't really find Little Big Planet has a lot of replay value. But I suppose you could keep it around for parties when you get bored. And I know Little Big Planet 3 just came out, but I don't intend to purchase it until it's a max of $40. No way am I spending $70 on this kind of game. I imagine now with the PS4 out you can get the PS3 Little Big Planet for fairly cheap.

Play-Doh
I think with how far we've come with technology that we should be able to make a play-doh that is one, safe to eat, and two, doesn't make a complete mess. So while this was a great craft product back in the day, I think there's better out there now.

Smuckers id definitely my favourite brand for getting strawberry jam. But I'm not a huge fan of this kind simply because I don't like giant pieces of fruit and seeds in my jam. I actually prefer to get the squeeze bottle kind, it's smooth and perfect every time. Like opening those tiny little jam packets. But obviously you pay extra for this because I assume it's more work and packaging to take out all the chunky bits. Still, when you're looking for a good quality Strawberry Jam, Smuckers is the way to go. And if you don't mind picking out the chunky bits, then you're better off saving some money and going for the jars. -

Netflix is good for a little while. You see some new shows that are Netflix originals, catch up on some movies you haven't seen before, and then there's no other content. Netflix is for people who like made for TV movies, B rated movies or really really old movies. The Canadian Netflix is worse for this. The American Netflix (which is easy enough to get if you're in Canada, just Google it) has newer and more vast content, but it's still behind the times. I recommend getting an Android box over Netflix. With Android TV you can watch shows that aired that very same day, same with movies. It takes more than just clicking a movie and playing it, but the work is worth it for the vast content. Best of all, Android TV is *FREE* and you don't have to pay a monthly subscription. -

Ensure comes in a few different types for different needs. There's SCFOS, which is a probiotic. There's the original, which is just the essential nutrients and nothing extra. There's also plus calories, plus protein and apparently a few others listed on their website but that I haven't seen in stores. Flavour wise, they come in chocolate, vanilla, butter pecan, coffee latte (I don't see this regularly, just once or twice at Walmart) and strawberry.
I've tried the SCFOS, Original and the high protein, and they all taste the same. So when it comes to the different categories, you don't have to worry about sacrificing taste. I do find though that they all have quite a bit of sugar, but they also have a lot of nutrients in them. I actually really like the chocolate flavour. With the vanilla I find I get a bad after taste and it just doesn't taste right, like there's something off about it. But chocolate is close to drinking chocolate milk, so you can't get much better than that.
One thing for sure, these are expensive and I recommend waiting until they're on sale and stocking up. You can go to the Ensure website to get coupons and when you use those coupons during sales (the cheapest I've seen them go for is $7) you can get them for about $3 for a pack of 6 which is really good. Otherwise they're normally about $13 or so.

I was not impressed in the least with this line of product from John Frieda. I didn't find that the Brilliant Brunette Moisture Shampoo did anything special for my hair. And considering the price you pay for a small amount, it's just not worth it. I'd rather pay less for something else comparable. The basis of the Brilliant Brunette line is to make brown hair more brilliant... well, talk about not living up to the name. My brunette hair looks no different. Also not impressed in the least by the huge list of ingredients. I'd rather go for something more natural that isn't going to gradually wreck my hair. -

The Lily is a clitoral simulator made by Lelo. It is made out of phthalate free ABS plastic, (it claims to have) 4 hours of charge time after 2 hours charge, 5 patterns and it comes in pink, purple or black.
I bought the black Lily for about $150 and I have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed. My first real vibrator (I don't include those cheap ones you get in the drugstore) was the Mona 2 based off of Epiphora's review on her website (http://www.heyepiphora.com/2012/11/review-mona-2/). I love my Mona 2, but I wanted something smaller that was easier to get between me and my husband during intercourse and oral. I figured this was the next best thing and I couldn't go wrong sticking with this company based off my success with the Mona 2.
First big con: this is not 100% waterproof. So it's a bitch to clean because you have to be careful of the port and the buttons. I never use lube when I use toys externally, so I don't have the problem of lube migrating to buttons and that. But you might need to use toy wipes if you want the Lily cleaned properly after a vigorous session. Also for me I don't generally use toys in the tub even if they are 100% waterproof, but I look for that feature so I don't have to worry about clean up and being careful with it.
Second really big con: this toy *will* be dead the next time you go to use it if you haven't used it in a while. This is not like the Mona 2 where I can come back to it weeks later and it's still going strong. You have to prepare to have a planned session and charge the Lily up before you actually do anything with it. They say it lasts for four hours, but I get about an hour or so out of it. I tested it once and let it run continuously after having charged it and I think I clocked it in at 60 minutes.
Googling the Lelo Lily you'd think this was Lelo's gift to women or something, every single review listed for it on the first page is super positive. It's no wonder I fell for it and ended up regretting spending that huge chunk of money.
I did find it surprisingly strong for its size. It's very tiny, about the length of an index finger and about an inch wide I think. It does fit nicely between my husband and I, but when it comes to holding it in the right spot, it's so small that it's very awkward. And if your hand is covered with lube, good luck trying to keep a hold on it.
In the end, this toy is just too small, and not strong enough for me. The battery life is also a really huge disappointment. For the money you pay for the Lily, it should have a long charge time and be 100% waterproof. I can see this working as someone's first vibrator, but honestly I think you can do better for the same amount of money. Mona 2 was designed more as a G-Spot stimulator, but it does beautifully nestled between the labia and I find it to be a perfect clitoral vibrator. It's also 100% waterproof and goes for the same amount as the Lily.
If you're looking for something that is smaller and just as strong, I've heard the Lelo Siri is a better option because it's just a little bit bigger so it's easier to hold onto.
