Jergens Natural Glow has been a staple in my life for years. It is much more foolproof than regular fake tanner, is relatively inexpensive, and doesn't turn me orange! A couple things I have learned over the years to help ensure an even, streak free tan: 1. Always exfoliate first. 2. Apply a regular lotion to rough spots like ankles. Elbows, between toes, knees etc. 3. Rub in thoroughly. 4. Wash your hands after! 5. Use the medium to dark version unless you are really pale - the light version leaves me orange. I have olive toned, fair skin that tans easily if this helps you to compare. At about $9.50 a tube regularly, and $6 on sale, a tube lasts me about three months with twice weekly application. Not bad at all! -

I received a bottle of Crest 3D White Multi-Care Whitening Rinse as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review program. I have been using the rinse twice daily along with the Oral B #D White Vivid Toothbrush and the Crest 3D White Luxe Glamorous Toothpaste. I had also used Crest Whitestrips about a month prior to using these products.
The Crest 3D White rinse was unlike any other mouthwash I had tried before. It didn't sting, but rather foamed while in my mouth. At first I was really put off by the foam, and missed the astringent sting of regular mouthwash. I can't say that I've grown to like it, but rather, I have grown to tolerate it. My mouth still feels clean after rinsing, but I prefer the clean feeling after using a stronger mouthwash.
I can say that my teeth have remained white and bright, which goes to show that the combination of the three aforementioned products have been successful as a maintenance program to ensure my daily coffee and tea drinking do not stain my teeth.
Would I repurchase? Likely not, but I do still enjoy other Crest mouthwashes! The foaming action of this particular one just wasn't for me.

Advil Liqui-gels are THE only pain relief medication I purchase. They were recommended to me about 8 years ago by an emergency room doctor after I had a migraine so bad it caused me to faint. He told me they were the best of the best when it comes to migraines and headaches. I used them every time a migraine started coming on, and they were very effective.
Thankfully I no longer get migraines, but I have found Advil Liqui-gels to be just as effective for headaches and menstrual cramps. I get ovarian cysts, which cause really painful menstrual cramps. Many pain relievers are inneffective, but I know that once I take two Liqui-gels I will have relief within 30 minutes.
My husband is a carpenter, and used Advil Liqui-gels when he is experiencing back pain and headaches as well. He keeps a bottle in his tool box at all times.
In short, I love this product. Coupons are often available, and if you wait for a sale you can get the large bottle for under $5 if you combine the two.

My brother uses Proactive, and has multiples of this mask. He gave me one, and I love it! I use every couple weeks as mask on my forehead, nose and chin, and use it as a spot treatment whenever I see a pimple coming. It is VERY strong, and I nice had a reaction using the Vasanti scrub the day after I had used this mask. It can also be very drying. It does however make your pores less visible and your skin glow. -

This was the first primer I used, and it serves it's purpose. I've since found others more suited to my skin type, but do feel this primer works well for those with enlarged pores to provide a smooth canvas for the rest of your makeup. It feels - not quite greasy on your skin, but like it leaves a film. I've always hates the packaging, as a lot gets left on the sides of the bottle - I have to use a q-tip to get the rest out. I prefer the new tube packaging. -

I've used Whitestrips for quite some time, and tend to buy a box every two years. While they are pricey, they do offer significant whitening for a price far below that you would pay at a dental office. I was provided a box to review by Chick Advisor, and this was my first time trying the Intensive Professional Effects. I love the Advanced Seal technology, and will never go back to the regular Whitestrips. These ones stuck tight for the entire two hours, and did not leave a goopy mess all over my teeth or slide around.
I had my front teeth filed years ago, and do get sharp sensitivities when whitening. I did get some unpleasant sensation about 20 minutes in which faded away, and chose to use the strips every second day which helped.
Finding two hours to use the strips was also difficult - I tried wearing them while on the elliptical, but my mouth produces a lot of extra saliva when wearing Whitestrips so it wasn't really practical. I ended up using them in the evening, with the only downside being that I couldn't drink tea during that two hour period. I found I was easily able to sip water with a straw while using the Whitestrips.
After 12 days of whitening (7 two hour applications) my teeth are several shades whiter, and I have gotten compliments. I haven't experienced any lasting sensitivity. In the future I would purchase the next level of Whitestrips down, so I could use the Advanced Seal but not have to apply the strips for two hours daily.
If you need white teeth in a hurry and do not experience sensitivity, I would recommend this product. If you have more than 7 days, I would recommend another Crest Whitestrips product with less intense effects.

I received this product as part of a product package. After trying it, I may never use another hair serum again! Elin Bianco treatment serum completely repaired my dry, damaged hair, and I no longer needed to cut off the four inches I had thought irreparable. I had tried many other serums and deep conditioners prior to Elin, and while they worked, the results didn't last. This Treatment Serum comes in a gorgeous frosted glass bottle, is pastel pink, and smells of baby powder. My hair is so shiny and smooth, and falls nicely whether straightened, curled, or natural. My hair is frizz free when I use it, and I've noticed less split ends and healthier hair in general, even on days I don't use the serum. My hair is long, thick, and naturally wavy. -

I'm not a bar soap kinda girl, but my husband uses one every day. I really enjoyed the opportunity to test this product, and it has changed my opinion of bars!
When I opened the packaging, I was hit with a strong, fresh smell - hard to pinpoint the scent exactly, but it was nice. It was very creamy once I began to lather it, and I could tell right away it would be great for my skin. After my shower, my skin did not feel tight and dry like it usually does, and my legs were very smooth.
I did try shaving with this as well, and it worked very well! I still prefer a foam for my underarms, but it was excellent for my legs.
Will I purchase again? Definitely. There are frequent coupons out for Dove soap, and I do see them on sale from time to time. The bar has lasted a ling time and did not fall apart in the shower, so this is a great alternative to shaving cream.
My husband also really liked it, so I think I'll be trying out the Dove Men bar next.
