I find LUSH products to be over hyped sometimes. Yes, the bath bombs are really pretty, and the names are fun. In terms of effectiveness, I actually prefer some of the cheaper alternatives that are out there. They really do no better than a J & J bubble bath, plus there is always so much gunk left over in the tub after using one of these bath bombs. Who wants to follow up a relaxing bubble bath with cleaning up the tub? -
L'Occitane Amande Shower Oil
The scent is wonderful if you love almonds. Don't expect this to lather up as it won't, but it does leave your skin smelling really nice and feeling moisturized. I do find that I have to use quite a large amount in the shower every time to... +
The scent is wonderful if you love almonds. Don't expect this to lather up as it won't, but it does leave your skin smelling really nice and feeling moisturized. I do find that I have to use quite a large amount in the shower every time to effectively cover my body, so it's not the most cost effective product out there. As a result, I only save it for special, indulge me days. -
Femme Couture Eternal Color Self-Adjusting Blush
These are great blushes, and Sally Beauty Supply (where I buy them from) always has specials like BOGOF on these. They are nicely pigmented and not at all powdery. The colors are all very natural looking and give the face a bit of a glow.

This is an expensive serum, BUT your skin is worth it. I have only used it for about two weeks, and I already notice that my skin texture seems a lot smoother, and there is a bit of a "glow" to my skin when I wake up in the mornings. I use this at night, let it sink it, and then put my nighttime moisturizer on top. -
Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling Mascara

I really like the brush on this, but alas, the formula of the mascara itself is nothing great. It goes on really wet, and by the end of the day, I always find smudges under my eyes. I would be more willing to purchase this again if Benefit made a waterproof formula for this. In terms of the curling aspect, it does slightly "curl" my straight lashes, but nothing noticeable enough and doesn't do as good a job as an eyelash curler does. -

I have used this for about a week now, during both mornings and evenings, and overall, would say that this is pretty effective for a battery powered toothbrush.
I gave it 4 stars for price because this is a steal for an electric toothbrush compared to what you have to pay for those plugged in electric toothbrushes.
In terms of quality, the item feels sturdy. There have been no issue with any parts not working or breaking so far, and I found the aesthetics of it quite pleasing.
As for effectiveness, I like that you let the toothbrush do most of the cleaning work for you instead of the arm workout you would get with a manual toothbrush. My teeth feels clean afterwards, and my gums feel well massaged-which I heard is good for the health of your teeth! I haven't noticed any discernible whitening, but that is not the goal anyways for using an electric toothbrush over a manual one. Electric toothbrushes when used properly, will help get rid of plaque and do a better job at cleaning between the teeth-two areas that I feel this Spinbrush has done well in.

I got the 30ml tube from eBay for approx $13 USD with shipping included. It sells on the Missha USA site for a little over $20 USD. I am NC25 with strong olive undertones and got #23 which is the darker color.
When first applied, there is a bit of an ashy undertone, but that eventually disappears once the cream has had some time to sink into the skin. Shade #23 is definitely a good match for my skin. The coverage is semi sheer, and gives a satin glow to the skin. It does not have the coverage that a foundation has, so definitely concealer is needed for any discolorations.
I like that this has an SPF of 25 and does the job of a moisturizer and sheer foundation in one. On really good skin days, I sometimes mix it with a bit of a brightening serum to give my skin an even more glowy look. Every time I wear this, I always get compliments on how nice my skin looks.

This is a FANTASTIC brush for applying liquid foundation. I am not a fan of the heavy, mask like effect that heavy coverage foundation like Revlon Color Stay can give, but when applied with this brush, it gives a soft, smooth, natural effect. I stipple the foundation on and buff with the same brush. If I want a heavier coverage, I just repeat the process again. The brush is so soft, and when washed, does not shed, and dries very quickly. I have also used this brush to apply mineral powder foundation using the same method, and it gives a beautiful satiny finish. This brush is such an affordable work horse! -

I was one of the lucky people chosen to review this product courtesy of Chick Advisor and Dairy Queen. In the past, we have bought the original DQ ice cream cake for different celebrations, but I thought we'd try one of the Blizzard cakes for this review. The online ordering process itself was pretty easy. I did find the server a bit slow, but not unbearable. I like that I was able to order the color of icing that I want, the types of decorations and the writing that I want on the cake. I wish though that I would have been able to see online how the cake would have looked with my specifications. The pickup process was easy and quick. I thought the decorations looked rather amateurish, but my niece, whom this cake was for, liked it just fine. All the kids enjoyed the Oreo flavor. You can't go wrong with Oreos and ice cream! I personally prefer the original DQ ice cream cake. Price wise, DQ ice cream cakes are quite high, but that is why we only get them for special occasions! We would definitely order DQ ice cream cakes again in the future-especially when it is for a group of kids. -
