I've tried the original CoverGirl LashBlast mascara and loved it, so I thought I'd try this one too just for those rainy, miserable days. It did go on as well as the original mascara, but there were flakes EVERYWHERE whenever my lashes got wet. I would not recommend this particular mascara; it's worth it just to get the original. Nobody wants to see little black flakes on your cheeks. -

LOVE these! I didn't realize they were scented until I opened them (maybe I should have read the box a little closer... it probably said on there) but the scent is light and fresh, and doesn't overpower. I found when I removed the pad I smelled better (read: less grungy) and felt a little cleaner overall (even though it still IS a pad, after all). I think these will be my new staple. The pads didn't slip or move the whole time I was wearing them, and the front is tapered to be a little smaller than the back so I don't feel like I'm wearing a diaper. Perfect!

I love this product! Seriously. I mastered tearing off juuuust the corner of the wrapper so I can dispose of the applicator in that with any other brand I use, but these ones already come with a flap that makes for super easy disposal. Love it! The purple colour is fresh and new; much better looking than the white. It makes me feel happier about this time of month.
It's a plastic applicator so it's nice and smooth (I really, really dislike cardboard ones) and it's absorbent. No leaks! I would definitely get these again.

Let it be noted that I like this product a lot, and the only reason I wouldn't buy it myself is because I need two instead of one. Let me explain.
I really like the innovative super thin wings that can wrap around any style of underwear. I wear a variety of styles, but typically boyshorts or hipsters; I found that since I cross my legs a lot, the edges of my underwear had some spots on them. The liner (if I only wore one, without a tampon on a light day) got most of it, but not all, so I have to wear two with that style of underwear. I wore these also with a thong just to see how well it would wrap itself around and stay put. Worked like a charm. Really great idea so you're not stuck wearing granny panties during that dreaded week!
I also really like that the liners are so thin I don't even feel them. I forget the name of my usual brand for the liners (read: NOT pads) but they are significantly thicker than the Always Radiant line and I still feel like I'm wearing a diaper despite them being thinner than a normal pad.
I'd recommend this to you ladies, and if you're not a penny pincher like me you can just use two on those wider cut panties.

Holy wow, what are they going to come up with next?!
I've always liked Aero bars and have always thought the mint/dark Aeros, respectively, were good but now they've come up with something entirely different, and I couldn't be happier!
It's always a hassle to find Terry's Chocolate Oranges at any time of year other than Christmas time, and even then they're hard enough to find. Well, worry no more! This bar tastes exactly like it, and for a fraction of the price! If you like Terry's chocolate oranges, you'll want to get your hands on a box of these. They're sold only in single, regular size bar form, but soon enough they'll probably have a king size, and then the aero bites found in the cellophane bags.

This product is amazing! It's dual phase, which is interesting, and like the rest of the line has a pleasant smell. I usually hate sprays because they never end up evenly spraying; I always get a thick squirt in one area and it misses the rest of my hair. This spray sprayed a fine mist, and sprayed it evenly over my hair. I didn't end up with greasy patches, nor did I end up with unruly patches from the shake missing an area. It's really easy to use and I could even use it with the bottle turned upside down.
I think it was this product that made the difference rather than the shampoo or conditioner, but my hair usually takes 4 hours to dry or something like that. With this, it took around 2 hours! My time was cut in half which works for me.
I would definitely recommend this to any chick out there, and I'm buying it for myself as soon as I run out!

First off, let me just praise this conditioner... WOW!!! It smells the same as the shake and the shampoo which is great; I get three layers of a great scent if I use all three. It lasts all day!
When I first squeezed some out, I noticed the richness and the thickness of the conditioner. This is great for my hair! I have waist length, wavy, unmanageable hair and I need something super moisturizing. This conditioner did the trick for a fraction of the high-end prices. Pantene is typically around $7-8 in a drugstore, so it's definitely worth it.
After my hair fully dried, I noticed my waves and curls were a lot less unruly and smoother. My hair was tamed! It wasn't weighed down either which tends to be a problem for me; I use a lot of heavy creams and silicone based products to get the smoothness I want but after a day I end up with limp, flat, gross hair. Not with this conditioner! Second day hair is just as good as first day hair! It rinsed out clean (I usually leave just a touch of conditioner in my hair to add more manageability, and I did with this one as well) and in using the three step system my hair actually seemed to dry faster than usual. Perfect for me!
This gets ten thumbs up in my opinion, and I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to my friends. Well done, Pantene!

I received this as part of the product review program from ChickAdvisor.
I absolutely love this shampoo! I smelled it before I used it and the scent is typical of Pantene, but not the same as all the others, if that makes sense. It's kind of floral, I think, but not overly.
The shampoo rinsed clean and made my hair feel conditioned; I've always been told to never wash my hair so much it's squeaky clean because all of the oils are then stripped from my hair. This shampoo cleans my hair so that there's no buildup, but it doesn't leave it squeaky clean (which is a good thing!!!). It leaves it moisturized. I had to actually wonder if I needed the conditioner!
I would definitely recommend this and I'd buy it as a staple. It's very close to salon quality.

I LOVE this product. I got my eyelash extensions off and felt like I needed a lengthening mascara, so that same day I went right out to buy this one from CoverGirl.
It took me a couple days since my natural lashes are pretty darn short (and I swear they were shorter after getting my extensions off than before!) to get the hang of it, but it's just like any other mascara. I had to be really careful because I wasn't used to having such short lashes again; I kept getting the mascara all over my lids for a couple days.
Now that it's been a couple weeks, I can properly review it. This mascara is LOVELY. I mean it. No clumps; it goes on smoothly, and comes in several different black shades and probably a brown or two. It lengthens what little lash I have and defines my eyes really well. This might be one of the only ones I'll stick with from now on... the brush grabs all the little tiny lashes at the corners of your eyes as well, so you're not missing anything (assuming you know how to apply mascara properly!). It washes off really easily which worries me because knowing my luck, the rain will pour when I'm wearing it (so far so good!)... and I can layer it to add more length than usual, or not.

Holy crap, this product is a godsend. I asked my regular hairdresser if she had a good dry shampoo since I didn't like the ones I'd typically find in a drugstore. She said that she did have one, but it cost triple what I wanted to spend. She had another client with the same issue, and this client told her about Batiste. Boy, am I glad she did!
I bought this stuff for only around 5 bucks at the drugstore (yep, the place I didn't want to buy one from... Changed my mind!) and it works like a charm! There's the original scent and the tropical, and of course I picked up the tropical.
It's really easy to use. You have to shake it before every time you spray, but that's no issue. A few short blasts of it is all you need; let it sit for a few minutes, brush it out, and voila! My hair doesn't look powdery, it doesn't have a film and it's definitely not dull! As with many dry shampoos, it adds a bit of grip so my styles stay longer. If I want to put my hair up, if I use this product I won't have to worry about my elastic slipping out... just spray my hair with the dry shampoo!
The smell could be a little better; it doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't smell very strongly. I don't like overpowering scents but after spraying, I'm not so sure the smell's even in my hair.
I'd recommend this to anyone though; I've never tried the original scent... that one's next, but I will recommend the tropical one since that's the one I've used! You may have to go on a bit of a hunt for it, though. I found it at the third Shoppers Drug Mart store I looked in. Some have it, some don't apparently.
