My daughter bought this a few weeks ago, and she's been really happy with it. It turns regular milk into a thick frothy drink. It doesn't come with a lot of mix, but we've found you can use chocolate syrup in it's place very easily. She's very proud of herself as her sisters beg her to make drinks for them, and she feels very grown-up being able to operate the machine by herself. She uses it several times a day, and we haven't had to change the batteries yet, so it isn't too bad on batteries. It's easy to set up, doesn't take up much space (I love how the stencils slip into a holder on the side along with the spoons, and a little ledge holds the powders), and easy to clean. I will definitely be buying these for birthday gifts. -

When my daughter bought her first Hatchimal CollEGGtible I didn't realize these things were about to take over her dresser, her table, her playroom. My five-year-old loves these things. There are several seasons, each with a different theme. One season has twins, another glows when placed on a light, and another has colour-changing mermaids. I think it's the surprise that makes these so much fun for the kids. They rub the heart on the egg until it turns pink, then they can use their fingers or the Hatchimals Hatchery to break their new little friend out of the egg.
My only complaint is that the paint doesn't seem particularly resistant to the way little kids play. Usually within a day or two our new Hatchimal friend no longer has a nose or has parts of its eyes, but overall, it's a pretty good toy.

I bought this for my one-year-old, now two-year-old. She loved dancing along with Beatbo. He still gets played with a few times a week. He has the ability to record your voice and mix it with music and play it back to you. He has lights, movement, and everything it takes to entertain little kids when they're got too much energy. -

My daughter has played with this toy every day since she got it at Christmas. It has lights, music, and an overall beachy vibe she loves. It even has a lullaby with soft music that shuts off on its own, which is a big hit with her parents. There are plenty of places to play with your Hatchimals on here. I honestly expected it would be played with for a few days and then forgotten, but it definitely has staying power for the little Hatchimals fans. They also love taking it into a dark room to see all the lights at their best. -

My old epilator broke after 17 years of use. I had to run out and find a new one. I picked up the Braun Silk Epilator. I was amazed at how much these little epilators have improved. It has a light to help you clearly see the area you're treating, and so many more little tweezers than the older models. Treatment was practically painless. I wish I'd switched to this model before. I'd highly recommend it for fast and easy hair removal. -

I absolutely love Colora henna. They offer a henna creme that has other ingredients added, but the one I'm referring to is the plain henna which has only henna and indigo. I used the Chestnut colour on my medium brown hair. I was nervous as I'd tried another brand of henna before which didn't do anything. My hair is about 20% white now, and I was afraid the white would turn neon orange. I needn't have worried. I washed it out after two hours and had a nice rich brown with a red cast in certain lighting. It completely covered all of my white hair even better than regular hair dye has ever been able to do. I went out the next day and bought two more boxes. I redo my hair once a month and never see any reduction in the coverage of my white hair. I always keep two boxes on hand just in case my local store sells out and I need to order it from elsewhere.
Really and amazing product, and I'm so happy to find something safe, natural, and non-irritating to cover my grays and make my hair shine!

When I was picked to try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 I was thrilled. I have very fair skin and wear sunscreen all year round. I'd been wanting to move to a higher SPF but everything I'd tried had been so greasy or heavy on my skin.
When I received this product I was surprised at how light the gel sunscreen was. My skin seemed to just absorb it the moment I put it on. I was able to wear it under my makeup without the usual greasy look and feel of regular sunscreens.
It has a light fresh scent, which I find very appealing.
The most amazing thing about this sunscreen to me is that after using it for a week a few people asked me if I'd changed my makeup. They noticed the improvement. Then, the other day I did something I don't think I've done in a decade....I went out shopping without any makeup. Now that I'm able to get the SPF protection without a heavy greasy sunscreen, my skin has cleared up, and it's looking naturally dewy and clean. I love this because I can now go out in the sun and reapply my sunscreen as needed. (In the past I had to find a washroom to remove my makeup, put on more sunscreen, and reapply my makeup.)
I've recommended this sunscreen to so many people now. It really does what it says it will.
I hope they never stop making this because it is my new daily sunscreen.

I was amazed by how well this gel cream hydrated. It was so light that I wasn't expecting much, but I used it every night before bed instead of my heavy cream, and I woke up to soft dewy skin every morning.
It has a nice light refreshing scent.
The price is good for the quality of the product. It takes only a little amount to moisturize your entire face. I expect this will be my new regular moisturizer, especially during the summer season.

I really liked these cleansing wipes. The smell was very light and fresh. They thoroughly removed all of my makeup, even my dark eye makeup, easily and gently. I didn't feel like I needed to rinse after using one of these wipes. There was no real residue.
As a busy Mom with a little one who wakes at all hours, I sometimes fall into bed at the end of the day and realise I haven't washed my face or removed my makeup. A package of these on my nightstand was the perfect solution to that problem.
In short, this is a great product. I will be purchasing these wipes to keep on my night table and in my purse.

I was impressed with this cream. It is nice and thick, but it doesn't leave the skin greasy. It also has a nice smell. My daughter had some very chapped skin and using this at night took care of it in a couple of nights. I also like the container. It's easy to throw in an overnight bag without having to worry about a tube bursting.
I would definitely buy this again.
