I really wanted this to work for my dry hair that needs deep intense care this winter. All the claims on the bottle sounded great: nourishing oil care, daily treatment conditioner with weightless nutri-oils, advanced care & repair.
The directions say use a quarter size - I always use more. It also says leave on 1 minute - I always leave on longer, more like 4 minutes. (I have lots of fine curly hair.) It didn't feel very luxurious or even very creamy. And most importantly, I couldn't comb out my hair with a wide tooth shower comb! My hair was so tangled, I had to comb it out using another creamy product when I got out of the shower. :( My hair didn't feel deep conditioned or repaired. The 2nd time I used it, I used 3 times as much, and I was able to comb my hair. But I don't think it's a proper value when you have to use that much of the product (not the amount they claim).

I was excited to try this place and definitely during the flamenco show. We used a $25 for $50 (tapas & Spanish wine) online voucher. The montados de chorizo (onion, red bell peppers, sautéed in wine) were nice, not outstanding. Such flaky & buttery puffed pastry in the empanadillias de polo (chicken & olives), sooo good! The sauces accompanying them were delicious. :-) I enjoyed the cold ceviche (blue marlin, mango, jalapeño, lime & tequila). I was disappointed with the pato con peras (duck comfit w pears), it could have more than 1 tiny piece of pear, and the duck was crispy, but lacking flavour. The puntillas en salsa de mostaza was definitely memorable. Grilled black angus sirloin, small home cut fries tossed with a light dijon mustard sauce: such a great combination! *drool* We tried the white sangria, which didn't taste anything like (red) sangria I've had before. It actually had more of an apple juice taste. I couldn't help but compare this to our first tapas restaurant, which enticed us in by advertising $5 tapas. This wasn't a good value, it was a one-time try (as my husband keeps reminding me. ;-)) We spent an additional $40 . For their high prices, Embrujo Flamenco really should give you bread at your table.
This is a romantic night out when you go during the show - it's a must for this different dining experience.

This was marked down after Christmas with an attached air effects air refresher, & I was always curious about Febreeze, so I have it a try. The scent is quite pleasant, not too strong for most people. However, the scent doesn't linger like advertised. I wouldn't bother to spend money on fabric refreshers again. -

I picked up this particular new one because of the twisted creamy mauve & dark purple. It looked like a delicious shake! It pours out in the same twisted purpleness, and lathers really well, like all Herbal Essences shampoos. The rich floral scent is wonderful. You don't have to use much of it. I'll buy this regularly. -

I used AcneFree moderate acne before, & decided to try this one. The cleanser seems to not completely get rid of all the oil on your face, since after I used it and then applied the toner, the cotton ball was a bit brown with oil. This has been the case with other similar acne products. I have to wash my face with another stronger cleanser, then use the AcneFree cleanser to know that my face is clean (to get a clean {white} cotton swab after I've used the toner.) The toner leaves my skin a bit shiny, as does the lotion. So far though it's keeping me acne free. -
