I tried this free product hoping since it's at the top of the hair colour price range, it would produce superior results. The application went on according to the directions, and was fine. It was easy to apply the foam. I liked using the longer stronger black gloves. There is so much foam colour in the bottle, much more than any other colour product! I'd recommend it for those with long hair way past their shoulders. My hair was much lighter, I'd say like their dark caramel. I used medium golden brown. Unfortunately the colour was too dark, not as pictured on the box, and it darkened my hair too much.It even had a slight amber tinge to it, not what I would have chosen. It did cover everywhere though, no patches of unmatched colour as shown. Also, my greys are back at my temples just 2 weeks later. I did leave it on the extra 10 minutes. I would try this again if I wanted dark hair, or go much much lighter. It's also probably the only boxed hair colour that has enough for those with very long hair. -

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets
I tried a sample I received of this. I liked the scent on the sheet, but it must come out in the wash, because my clothes had no scent to them at all which was disappointing. I followed the instructions, but there was a bit of static cling anyway... +

If you avoid scented products, this would be fine for you. But they are not a good price.

There was some sensitivity after the first application, and I felt sharp piercing sensitivity in one tooth a couple of times that thankfully didn't last long. They stayed on fine, and there wasn't a terrible taste. One of the things to keep in mind about this is scheduling when to apply them, since it's for 2 hrs. (ex. I didn't eat or drink while they were on.) I purposely didn't use whitening toothpaste while using them. My teeth do look a bit whiter, but I took before & after photos, & there isn't as much of a difference as I expected really. I tried regular Crest whitestrips 5 years ago with the same results I'd say. -
Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters - FRESH

I tried some of a Fresh sample pack I received, used about 1/2 of it in a full load. The wash came out with a very strong clean scent, and still remained after the dryer. The clothes still had the scent a couple days after too, which is what you'd want. I like the scent, but $8 is too expensive for something I call laundry candy. It's something extra for your laundry, not a necessity. -

I do my nails weekly, so anything related to manicures I'm interested in trying. I do use nail buffers/shiners & looked forward to trying this tiny size, which was easy to use. 400% shinier? Bold claim, not sure where Revlon got that from, did it make my bare nails shinier, yes, definitely. My polished (after a few days) nails looked shinier also. But 400%? Hmmm... ?? The smoothing side won't last very long, it got dull after one use. I would only pay for these on sale for under $3. -

This is a unique product that really does clean without adding more cleaners. I used it on an annual spring cleaning spree on my filthy "beige" kitchen walls, but after using the eraser, they were white again! I went through one entire eraser just on this one job, but it was quite a dirty job. The original size eraser doesn't last very long, it falls apart. I'll try the bigger size next. -

I decided to try this as it was on sale for under $5.50 & I had a BOGOF coupon. The continuous sprayer was an unexpected feature, I didn't realize it was battery operated. It was easy to spray & I waited several minutes before wiping it off. My bath tub had a lot of soap scum, so I automatically started to scrub it off, & happily realized I didn't need to, just a sponge was needed! The bubbles really do the scrubbing! Whoo hoo! After 4 days, it was still clean, not brilliant shiny clean of course, but not dirty. I noticed I used too much though, I guess I got carried away with trying to cover a lot, which isn't necessary, as the bubbles do spread. So you don't need to use much. This is very worth it, since I HATE the amount of time scrubbing my bath tub takes. I'd buy it again on sale & with coupons. -

I was happy to receive these 2 bars, it brought me back to the time before body wash was out, & all we had was very basic bar soap. You can smell the good 'ol Dove scent from the unopened box, and when you do open it - ahhhh yes, that creamy clean smell! You look forward to bathing with bar soap! I've been using it for 5 days now in the shower and on my face. My skin isn't dry or tight. My face feels cleansed and moisturised. (Now to tackle my dry hair...) I've tried all kinds of other body washes over the years, lured in by exotic scents & pretty packaging. But I appreciate getting familiar with Dove again, it's simply a wonderful soap.
Sometimes the classics are best for a reason.

I tested this out for a 4 hour road trip. When I clipped it on & set it to max, the scent instantly blasted out full strength. Linen & sky is the type of scent I like, it's clean, crisp, & fresh. It isn't sickeningly sweet, too flowery or fruity. I eventually switched it to minimum, where it remains, & it's still going strong a week later. It's providing a pleasant smell in my car, so thumbs up.
