I was a little skeptical at first of having to give up my electric toothbrush in order to give this product a good try. I am happy to say that after 7 days of consecutive use, I feel that this brush does just as good a job at cleaning as my expensive electric toothbrush. The bonus is that there is a separate part for tongue cleaning-something that my electric toothbrush doesn't have. The tongue cleaner does such a great job and all without causing a gap reflex for me. The handle is comfortable to hold and ergonomically designed. This is a really great product that does the same effective cleaning job of an electric toothbrush as a fraction of the price.

A big plus for me with this product is that it is alcohol free. I have always avoided using mouth washes because I am not a fan of the sharp alcohol sting that you would get. This rinse, I am happy to say, is very user friendly. The taste is actually quite pleasant, and I found that my breath stayed fresh longer when this is used in conjunction with the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. This is a product that I would purchase when the current one is used up as I believe that it is an effective part of good oral health care.

I have had the chance to use this toothpaste for 7 consecutive days now, and I must say that I am quite happy with the results that I have gotten so far. Although I don't notice any significant whitening of my teeth, I have noticed that the areas between my teeth which used to get quite a bit of staining from my coffee habit has really lightened up-although not completely eliminated. I also like that the minty taste is not so strong to be offensive, but still does a good job of lingering in my mouth after my brushing to give me fresh breath. Overall, this is a product that I would highly recommend to anyone who is diligent about maintaining her oral health.

I was very fortunate to be selected to review this product for ChickAdvisor. The RRP of $70 is rather steep, but after seeing the results, I do feel that it is justifiable as a twice yearly treatment. The strips are quite easy to use, and adhere well to the surface of the teeth for the 2 hr duration that it needs to be left on. I highly recommend NOT eating or drinking with the strips in place. The first few days that I used the product, I felt some sensitivity, and did not leave the strips on for the full two hours. For the last four days of the full week trial, I was able to keep them on for the full two hours and the sensitivity had decreased quite a bit. Even though I didn't have them on for the entire time at the beginning, the product still did what it says it would do, which is to whiten your teeth. Now, my teeth did not go to the shade of blinding, pure white that you see on the veneers of movie stars, but there was definitely an improvement, so that overall, my teeth did not look as dull and "yellow" as they did before. I also like that very clean feeling that I get on my teeth after the strips come off.
I had already recommended this to my girl friends, but not as something that should be used regularly. First, the price tag is quite high. Secondly, having to leave the strips on for 14 hours over a week is a bit inconvenient. I also don't think that this is appropriate for people who have very sensitive teeth or gum issues. But if your teeth and gums can handle it, then it's worthwhile to treat your teeth to this every 6 months or so to maintain that bright smile.

My dentist has always recommended to my family that we switch over to electric toothbrushes as they do a better job of cleaning than a regular toothbrush. I was super happy when I found out that I would have the opportunity to test the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush through ChickAdvisor. This is now the chance for me to see if my dentist has been right all along!
The Oral-B comes with a charging stand, a toothbrush "handle" which has two settings: CLEAN and SENSITIVE, a standard sized pulsonic brush head, and a precision tip brush head. The handle itself is slim and lightweight.
I have been using this product now for over a week, and I love how clean my teeth feels after brushing. What I do is use the regular brush head withe the CLEAN setting and follow the timer which times you so that you give equal cleaning time for all four quadrants of your mouth (excellent idea!). After that, I switch over to the SENSITIVE setting and gently massage my gums for 10 seconds. It really stimulates the bloodflow to the area, and I think helps keep my gums healthy. Then I switch over to the precision brush head and use that to clean between my teeth. I end up with teeth that felt as if they just had a cleaning at the dentist. This is a good thing!
I am so impressed with the Oral-B that I have already gone and got one for my mom for Christmas. The price is a bit high at first look-$69.99. But if you look at it in terms of how much money you are saving by not needing to get expensive dental work done by using this and keeping your teeth and gums healthy, it's a bargain indeed!
PS: My dentist is right after all!

I bought mine in "Bad to the Bronze" (in photos) at WalMart Canada for $7 CAD. The product is housed in a nice, heavy glass jar, giving it an "expensive" feel. "Bad to the Bronze" has a coppery golden sheen in the jar, but once on the lids, the coppery tones are not as apparent unless the coverage is built up. The formula is very creamy and easy to blend. I apply mine with a Taklon eyeshadow brush from Lancome to control the amount and placement. It gives a beautiful, shimmery look that is perfect for an eyewash and an everyday look. You can also get a dramatic, smokey bronzed eye look by building the coverage up. I apply mine without any primer underneath, and the longest I have had it on was over 12hrs, and there was no smudging, creasing or fading. There is no way now that I am willing to spend the $20 for a MAC paint pot (which dries out so easily) when this product does the job even better and at a way more economical price point. -

I love love this concealer. The shade Medium matches my olive NC30 skin very well. I mainly use it to conceal the purplish circles under my eyes, and it does a fantastic job. It has a creamy consistency, but you need to work quickly to blend it as it sets and becomes smudge proof. I only need a small pin drop size of concealer for each eye. The tube will last me forever. I think that this is totally on par in terms of effectiveness and quality as Make Up Forever's concealer, but at a fraction of the price. -

I have never used any tooth whitening strips before, although I have tried various brands of whitening toothpaste over the years, usually with very little noticeable results. I found the Crest 3D Whitestrips 2-hour Express extremely easy to use. It's super important to make sure that your teeth are dry before you apply the strips. It definitely makes them stick on better and not slide around as much during the 2 hours that you have to leave them on. The taste of the peroxide was a little strong for me, but nothing that would induce a gag reflex! It really helps to rinse your mouth as soon as you take those strips off, and brush your teeth, but gently. I found that my teeth were a little bit sensitive for a couple of days after, but that eventually wore off. I wouldn't say that the results were super bright and white, but I did notice a slight difference, and my teeth definitely felt a lot "cleaner" and smoother after. For the little amount of time that I had to invest in using the product, I thought the result was definitely worth it. -

This product is one of the softest, most absorbent toilet papers out there. Granted, the texture is a bit paper-like to the touch, but when it is used on the area that it's supposed to be used on, it is not harsh feeling at all. I like that it is very absorbent, so I only need to use two square vs. my usual four squares with my regular toilet paper. The roll is a bit "chubby", but it fits into the toilet paper holder with no problem. Overall, I do recommend this product for its quality. Price wise, it's a bit on the premium side, but it's definitely a great buy if it goes on sale, or if there are coupons available for it. -

I find that as I have gotten older, I find most flavored drinks too sweet for my tastes, so I was a bit skeptical with regards to trying this product out. I have to say that I am very impressed by the flavors that were sent to me. My favorite is the Fuji Apple Pear. I like that each bottle only has 10 calories and the flavors are not cloyingly sweet. Also important for me is that there is no strong artificial aftertaste as common in some drinks which have been artificially flavored. As for the stated vitamin benefits, I doubt that the amount there would make a significant contribution from one bottle. For a drink like this, the primary usage would be for hydration anyways. Even the guys in my household, who are avid Gatorade drinkers, enjoy this product and found it refreshing. I have found the bottles on sale for as low as 99 cents at Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart, so it is definitely an affordable fitem. I would not hesitate to recommend this as an alternative to other flavored drinks that are in the market today. -
