I think that technically this is a men's razor... but that doesn' t stop me from using it! The blades are high quality and give you a nice, close shave. They lifespan of the blade is longer than the average competitor as well. There is a lubricating strip that makes shaving very easy with no nicks. The only downside is that because there are 5 blades on the cartridge, it is quite bulky which makes it hard to get into small areas. You can flip part of the razor head out of the way which makes it slightly easier for the hard to reach places, but overall it is still bulky compared to the 2 or 3 blade razors. The price is average for a name brand razor, not too bad if you can find it on sale though! This is my current razor of choice mainly due to its effectiveness and longevity. -

I really, really love these liners! They are paper thin and fit multiple underwear styles. They also stay in place so that you forget they are there. It's almost impossible to forget that you have your period, but these liners (when coupled with Tampax Radiant Pearl tampons) come pretty close to making that happen!
The box that they come in is shiny and pretty, making them easy to spot in stores. The liners themselves have a pretty design on them which is neat. I would absolutely buy these liners again. They are much higher quality than my usual store brand.

I love the box that the tampons came in! I am a fan of the bright, shiny packaging which would make them easy to spot in stores. I also really like the way each individual tampon could be opened by a sticker instead of the tried and true poke it through method (which half of the time ends up with your tampon escaping the applicator before you've even inserted it). The design of the wrapper also works well for disposing the applicator after you use it.
The tampon stayed put and didn't leak so I am quite impressed with the quality of this line of tampons overall. I would definitely buy them again as long as they weren't priced too much higher than my usual brand.

I love the packaging that the pads came in. They were very eye catching and shiny which would make them easy to pick out on the store shelves. The pad is wrapped in a very pretty looking wrapper and I was surprised to find that the pad had a scent to it. I was even more surprised to find that the scent was still present after wearing it overnight. Personally, I enjoyed that the pads were scented but maybe not everyone else will feel the same way about that.
I really like that the pads were thinner and more narrow than some of the other brands on the market. They fit easily into your standard bikini panties and shape nicely into place. They almost felt more like a pantyliner. I don't find that they are long enough to rely on for over night protection, they would be best suited to daytime.
Overall I am very happy with this product and would definitely buy it again as long as it isn't priced too much higher than my normal brand.

I have always used leave in conditioners as my ends tend to be dry and need extra conditioning. Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioning Shake promises to help de-tangle and condition your hair without leaving it weighed down. Sounds great to me since I have long hair!
I really didn't understand why I had to shake the bottle as per the instructions since it didn't make too much of a difference in the way the product looked through the clear bottle. But I followed the instructions anyway and am very happy with the results. It smells so good it should be bottled and sold as perfume! It also made my hair super easy to brush through.
After my hair dried, it really did feel conditioned and weightless. It worked for me and I would definitely recommend it. I would purchase it again if the price was comparable to my usual brands.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I love this conditioner! My hair is fine with a slight wave and tends to have greasy roots a day after shampooing. My ends, on the other hand, have always needed some extra conditioning. I was skeptical that this conditioner would deliver all that it promised (conditioned hair without feeling weighed down).
As soon as I put some of the conditioner into my hand, I felt good about it. It's a thicker formula conditioner which is a must for me. I can't stand runny conditioners. It smells great, like the ocean, and really did a great job of conditioning my hair. When my hair dried, it was weightless feeling as promised.
I would definitely recommend this conditioner to anyone with fine or "combination" hair like mine. I would buy it again if the price was right (I'm on a tight budget).

When I received the Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo I was so excited to try it! The packaging really sells the product, claiming to provide deeper conditioning without weighing hair down.
I have fine hair with a very slight natural wave. My roots tend to be greasy while my ends need extra conditioning. After using this shampoo I noticed right away in the shower that my hair felt totally clean. It did feel lighter than normal after it dried as well.
I loved how the shampoo sudsed up into a rich lather and the scent was great in my opinion. It reminds me of the ocean which ties in well with the "Aqua" theme.
I would absolutely buy this product if it was on sale or the price was comparable to my other usual brands. My budget is so tight right now that price would be a huge consideration as to whether or not I purchase this shampoo in the future. I would absolutely recommend it to ladies with fine hair.

Scrubbing Bubbles Mildew Stain Remover is a heavy duty bathroom cleaner that claims to be able to remove mildew stains. In my opinion, it has some great uses if you can handle the extremely strong bleach smell that the cleaner emits. The bleach fumes are so strong that it makes me cough and I can feel it irritating my hands as I'm using it. You should really wear gloves and a mask before trying to clean anything with this product. Also, wear old clothes as it will bleach the fabric if it splashes on what you are wearing.
If you can get past all of that, this cleaner works amazingly well for removing stains on white counter tops and white grout. It is even effective on hard water stains on taps. The only mildew stains that I have tried it on were set into the caulking of the tub. It did not remove them from the caulking (although I have yet to find anything that works once it has set into the caulking).
So if you can brave the strong chemical smell, there are some things that this cleaner works really well on. Priced at around $4 it's very affordable for most budgets.

Scrub Free X-Treme is a miracle in a bottle for tough bathroom stains. It costs about $3 per bottle which, considering its effectiveness, is a steal! It tackles tough hard water, limescale and rust stains unlike any other product I've tried. I was especially impressed with how it got my water stained taps to look new again with minimal effort. I have even noticed that it keeps my bathtub and shower surround clean for longer than other spray cleaners.
It does have a strong chemical smell so you may want to crack a window before you start spraying. This product does what it promises and comes at a price everyone can afford. I think it works just as well as CLR for less than half the price.

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

I love the small size and sleek look to this air freshener. It was super easy to install and has a 3 setting dial so that you can dial the fragrance up or down. I loved the scent of the one I received, however it may be a little bit strong for anyone who is sensitive to perfumes. I liked that there was a steady stream of fragrance entering the car because of the way that it clips onto the vent. Most other car air fresheners start out overpowering and then fade to barely noticeable before too long. Personally, it made me enjoy being in my car again since, let's face it, I don't clean my car nearly as often as I should. I think that for the price this car air freshener is a winner!
