Cool Maker KumiKreator Friendship Bracelet Maker

The KumiKreator is supposed to be one of the top toys of 2018 and the commercials had my 7yo hooked. As soon as she saw one she fell in love and asked on repeat if we could go get one. Well, we got one. She was so excited when we were taking it out of the box for the first time. We unboxed it together and went over the instructions together before we attempted to make a bracelet. It took her and I about 15 minutes together to get everything set up for the first bracelet. We got 1/4 of the way through, and it jammed. What do you do? KumiKreator’s YouTube channel said to completely undo what we set up for the first bracelet and then go through the ‘quick’ process of taking the spools out and putting them back in. We then re-set it all up and get 1/2 way through the second attempt of the first bracelet…and it jammed again. So now we have to completely re-do everything again. By the third failed attempt my 7yo is done. She’s disappointed and doesn’t even want to play with it anymore. She leaves the rooms, and I keep on trying to figure this machine out. I give up. I contact the company, and they send me a return shipping label so they can look at our bracelet maker. I was really impressed with the customer service overall. They kept in contact with me over email and then I received a phone call telling me that they were able to fix our bracelet maker and they will be sending it back to us with a Fashion Pack as well that will make up to 24 extra bracelets on top of the 10 that come with the original purchase. I went over all the issues on the phone with the customer representative, and they assured me all was well, and if I were to have any issues, please call, and they will fix everything right away. Well, the ‘fixed’ KumiKreator arrived in the mail with the replacement pack plus a completed bracelet for her. We took it out of the box, I set it up while she watched to cut down on time, and then she made her first bracelet, and IT WORKED right off the bat! My 7yo was beyond thrilled. We made a couple of bracelets with zero issues! So through all this, if you have a problem, please contact support before writing it off because when it works, it is actually pretty neat and very entertaining for the maker. -

Yep, this is a winner! I'm not an avid body wash user. I alternate between body wash, exfoliating wash, and soap. I've some favorites over the years but I also go crazy at Bath and Body Works during Black Friday and basically stock up for two years at a time so I rarely buy any body wash throughout the year. I am SO glad I found this one. This body wash is SO refreshing. Like the tea tree, rosemary and peppermint make this amazing combo that smells brilliant and leaves you tingly! If you're a gym goer, you need this in your life. I mean everyone does, but this feels amazing after a solid workout. It lathers really nicely and is very silky soft. I don't have any skin conditions, so I can't speak to those claims as other reviews have. I'm just an everyday user who loves anything tea-tree and peppermint oil and I saw this was a combo and was not disappointed. I seriously doubt you would be as well. This is my third Art Naturals product [this = A+, Vit C serum = C, and a mud mask = A] but this is definitely my most favorite purchase. -
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Primer Mascara
The last time I used a primer I was 17 [10 years ago] and Rhianna and Covergirl came out with that dual ended mascara in the white tube for different colored eyes...I cannot remember the name? I wasn't really impressed with that mascara in general... +
The last time I used a primer I was 17 [10 years ago] and Rhianna and Covergirl came out with that dual ended mascara in the white tube for different colored eyes...I cannot remember the name? I wasn't really impressed with that mascara in general so I haven't done a primer/mascara combo since until now. When I applied L'Oreal's primer for the first time I saw the difference right away. This primer turned my dark brown lashes white -mainly at the tips- lengthened and separated my lashes significantly and then when I paired the primer with L'Oreal's Voluminous Orginal Mascara it was a winning combo! Overall, I'm really happy with this product/combo and would definitely recommend and purchase in the future. I did apply primer on both my eyes first then went back and did mascara. Then the next time I used it I applied it I did primer and then mascara back to back for each eye and noticed a difference. The mascara went on much easier and continued to lengthen and separate my lashes instead of just coating them. -

I have very fine hair that I wash daily because it tends to get oily. It is really hard to find a conditioner that doesn't weigh it down or make me feel like I need to go re-wash my hair. When I use this product, I really only use a little bit more than a dime. I don't need much and I would not recommend more than that if your hair is like mine. So this product is free of dyes, parabens AND it may be the best thing I have ever smelled other than the paired shampoo. The shampoo smells amazing, the conditioner is one level up. Somehow it is more potent than the shampoo. I love it. Like, go to the store and smell this. My husband literally stops and smells my hair every time he walks past me. No joke. I need this in a body lotion. I've used this shampoo and conditioner for a solid few weeks and my hair is left feeling light, soft, shiny with each use. It's like silky soft and I have fine hair so it has always been soft, but it's that silky shiny looking soft that makes you want to run your fingers through your own hair. If you've not been a Herbal Essence fan in the past decade, literally try this product. It's so different from their other line of products. They really stepped up their game with this one. Let me know if you have any questions. I can't wait to read what other people have to say about this! -

Herbal Essence used to be my jam when I was younger, then it went downhill from there and no matter how many different versions of their products I have tried I have not been really impressed. I have very fine hair that I wash daily because it tends to get oily. The last time I tried their shampoo it left my hair feeling heavy and weighed down and not clean at all. Others who have thick hair or even dry hair may not have this issue but finding a shampoo for someone with really fine hair that does not make your hair oily and also does not weigh it down is like finding a freaking unicorn. I know most of you have heard from one stylist or three not to use anything but salon brand shampoos and blah blah blah. I can get down with that because I have had major success with Redken and I stil recommend Redken if you're looking for a protein builder and even a volumizer, but girls like to switch it up and I recommend trying this product! It is a purifying shampoo, it does NOT leave heavy residue, it's free of silicone, dyes, parabens AND it may be the best thing I have ever smelled. Like, go to the store and smell this. My husband literally stops and smells my hair every time he walks past me. No joke. And, if you think the shampoo smells good wait till you smell the conditioner. I need this in a body lotion. Ok back to the main point, I've used this shampoo and conditioner for a solid few weeks and my hair is left feeling light, soft, shiny with each use. It's like silky soft and I have fine hair so it has always been soft, but it's that silky shiny looking soft that makes you want to run your fingers through your own hair. If you've not been a Herbal Essence fan in the past decade, literally try this product. It's so different from their other line of products. They really stepped up their game with this one.

I do love that this product is paraben free and it also smells amazing and my hair was extremely soft after my shower but throughout the day once it was dry it was extremely flat. I have very fine hair and have to be careful about what shampoos and conditioners I use. This set was just too heavy for my hair. I would not recommend this product to someone who has fine hair who has to wash it everyday due to oils. If you have dry hair then this product could be great for you. You'll have to read more reviews with different testers but for me, my hair felt very flat and weighed down. I think Garnier's new Whole Blends is a step up for them though and I think if you're going to try any Garnier product you should give the Whole Blends a go. I've used their other shampoo and conditioners and I think there has been a great improvement. -
