The toothbrush was a good size, bristle part not too large, and I liked the sleek handle. Ease of operation, but when the head touched a tooth it made a loud noise. Brushing for the alloted time did not create sore gums and I experienced no bleeding. I did find that the brushing created an excess amount of foaming, therefore there was a lot of dripping. My teeth felt no cleaner than the manual toothbrush I use. My feeling is that I would want to use the brush for a longer duration to access how long the bristles would last and the cost of replacing the head. I would not hesitate to recommend the product to a friend and will continue to use this one. Thank you for the opportunity of trying the power toothbrush before deciding to purchase. -

Thank you, Product Review Club, for my sample of Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue! This toilet paper is soft, strong, thick, and is very absorbent. On the plus side, you can probably use a little less than with your usual brand. However, a double roll has only 176 squares, and this product is fairly expensive. Would I purchase it myself? Only if it were on sale AND I had a decent coupon.
My favorite toilet paper remains Charmin Ultra Strong, but in my opinion, it is over-priced as well.
As much as these high-end bathroom tissues are luxurious, environmental concerns are making me seriously consider switching to recycled products. After all, will our butts really care?

Thanks to the Product Review Club, I have had the opportunity to use this foundation over the last two weeks. While Maybelline claims that their product 'instantly erases fine lines, creases and age spots', I did not find this to be the case.
My experience is that this foundation provides a light, silky finish with sheer, natural coverage, but I did not notice any reduction in my skin's imperfections. It did, however, leave my combination skin feeling soft and smooth. I would recommend that you use a moisturizer first if you have dry skin -- otherwise, you may find that application and blending of the foundation is difficult.
The attached applicator is somewhat gimmicky, I believe. I could not achieve a satisfactory result using it alone, so once the foundation was applied, it was necessary to blend with fingers or sponge.
I would be most interested in determining if this product actually reduces imperfections on skin without makeup after 8 weeks of use (as it claims) and I will therefore continue to use the Maybelline foundation for at least the next couple of months. For this reason, I would hesitate in recommending this product until this amount of time has elapsed.

I received this product to review via Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
Neutrogena states that this sunscreen is 'water-light' and 'weightless'. While many reviewers here complain about this product being runny, I don't see how a sunscreen could be any richer or thicker and still be very light, so the consistency was not an issue for me. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. Yes, it does make skin somewhat white, but only for a minute. My skin felt a bit tingly after application of this sunscreen, but that also only lasted for a minute. I didn't experience any irritation or break-outs.
I have combination skin and I did not feel that this product provided adequate moisture to my dry areas; however it can be applied under moisturizer (many reviewers used it over moisturizer, contrary to the instructions on the package). I had hoped that this product would sufficiently moisturize so that I wouldn't have to use another product over top and add yet another layer with use of foundation. As far as being 'sweatproof', well, that simply was not the case for me. That was my biggest disappointment with this sunscreen.
The paba-free SPF 45 offers excellent sun protection.
Would I buy this product for myself? Not unless it is re-formulated to provide more moisture and at the same time be as sweatproof as possible. Would I recommend it to others? Perhaps to those with oily to normal skin or to people who don't mind having to top this with moisturizer and then, potentially, makeup.

I even wrote to Vichy to express my disappointment, but alas, I did not receive a reply. :(

I believe that Dermalogica makes good products, generally. But I have found similar cleansers for less money that I much prefer to this one. My facial skin isn't usually particularly sensitive, but this product strangely made it feel more so. Also, I prefer a richer consistency -- this formula is quite thin. I would probably recommend this cleanser for younger girls who use something to remove makeup before actually washing their face - that is, if they can afford it.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
Again, bought this one cause of all the hype. It didn't deliver volume for me at all. Is the formula different in the U.S. than in Canada? Guess I'll try something else.

First I tried the CG Lashblast Volume Mascara. What volume? Then I figured I would try this one. There's been a lot of hype about it and I figured with all the good reviews, it must have something to offer. Wrong! I'm guessing that people who like this product have fairly long, fairly thick lashes already. Mine are fine and short and this mascara does nothing to improve that situation. Pass!
