The shade that I chose was the lightest available, Porcelain Ivory. I am very light skinned and was a bit concerned when I put some of the foundation on the back of my hand. It looked too dark and a bit pink. It was quite thick like a paste. You need to apply it quickly because it will dry out. I recommend only squeezing out the amount you are going to apply on one section of your face at a time. If you squeeze out the amount for your entire face it will become crusty and dry. I applied it both with my fingers and with the Dream Blender and both ways were fine. It ended up matching my skin well and the colour looked natural. It gives more of a light coverage like a tinted moisturizer and not opaque like a foundation. It is meant to be moisturizing and it is somewhat. I found that it made my dry patches flaky and emphasized them even with moisturizer or primer underneath. It wasn't a matte velvet finish on my skin as it was dry and flaky in patches and my forehead was a bit shiny. The overall look was light and natural but I did have to go back with concealer in some areas. I wouldn't recommend this for dry or oily skin but I think it might be just right for those lucky ones with normal skin who require only light coverage.

My two cats were lucky enough to be chosen to try out the Prairie Red formula for Cats for free. I was really excited when I saw the high quality list of ingredients and the level of nutrition seems great. I always purchase meat first dry foods for my cats as it is their main food source. They get little bit of wet food as a treat once a day but their main nutrition comes from their dry kibble so it needs to be complete. After opening the bag they were both very interested so I put a small handful down in a bowl for them to try. They both sniffed it and walked away without even trying it! I then started the recommended transition process and mixed it in with their usual food. They both ate their usual kibble and left the SubZero. I've tried everything to get them to try it but it hasn't gone very well. I've given up and just set a small bowl of it near where they sleep and one of the cats has nibbled on it. I've had the full bowl out and available for several days and she has barely touched it. They other cat won't try it at all! I will likely end up donating it to our local shelter. I'm disappointed because I really support this brand and what they are doing for animals but unfortunately my cats don't like it. I think this may be because I received the beef based flavour and they are not big fans of beef. I think the chicken or fish flavour would have gone over better. I may try one of the other varieties in the future and I would still recommend this food to others. My cats are just super picky! -

This product just seems to do nothing for me. After using it my hair felt like it had a heavy buildup on it and it was atrociously difficult to work the resulting tangles out of my hair. I see that this product worked really well for a lot of people but on my wavy, dry hair it was not helpful. It didn't add any volume at all unless you count tangles as volume! -

I have quite dry sensitive skin and I found that when I applied this moisturizer it stung and irritated the skin across my cheeks where I am especially dry. I didn't feel like it was very moisturizing and I really wanted to apply something else on top for the extra moisture. It was a bit uncomfortable but I was willing to give it a try for the night anyway. When I woke up my skin was very greasy and shiny. I felt like there was a coat of product that I wanted to wash off immediately. After washing my face was a bit dry but it actually looked fairly good. I didn't find this product comfortable for my skin and will not continue using it. -

These are very easy to install and work great for hanging up those small items like hair brushes or facecloths in the bathroom. I used one in my wardrobe for my umbrellas. It can hold up to two pounds so it's pretty strong. I haven't tried removing the hooks but I used a similar product in my dorm room at university and they removed easily without damaging the wall. These are very handy and I will be repurchasing in a variety of sizes.

You know when you are getting ready and running late and a button pops off of your blouse and you panic and use a safety pin to keep it from gaping open? Yeah, I've been there many times! This is a quick and easy emergency solution. it is super easy to use and looks like a normal button from the outside. It looks much better than a safety pin! It seems to hold together sufficiently well to get you through the day until you can get home to sew the button back on for good. It is not a permanent solution but sure is handy in a pinch!. It should be in every desk at work and every purse too! and I'm telling everyone I know about this product!

I really wanted to try these on my jeans and dress pants that I want long to wear with heels but would sometimes like to shorten to wear with flats. The strips were very sticky but quite easy to apply. The held my hems for the day I needed them to and them were easy to remove. There was no residue left behind. I found it was best to iron the hem at the desired length then apply the strips to hold it. This resulted in a crisp hem. These are really great to add versatility in my wardrobe and I will definitely be buying them in the future.

I am petite and have to get most of my pants hemmed. Even my sweats and pajamas are too long! I had plenty of too long pants to test this out on! I tested them on a pair of boot-cut sweatpants that drag on the ground unless I roll them up. The strips were very easy to use as long as you don't stick them to yourself! They are super sticky kind of like super glue and you do have to be careful what they get stuck to because they will NOT come off once they are applied. The lasted through a washing and are meant to be permanent. I'm really excited to have discovered these because it saves me the money I would usually spend on a tailor and all the time I would spend dropping them off to be hemmed and picking them up. Truthfully I only take pants to the tailor on occasion and have a big pile that I will use the rest of the strips on. I'm not going to learn to sew so these are a lifesaver!

The scent is quite strong but I absolutely love it! It smells like coconut with a bit of fruitiness. I only need to use a very small amount to lather up my whole head. I have very dry, frizzy and fine hair and this shampoo is nurturing enough that I can use it every day. It is very moisturizing and leaves my hair smooth, shiny and healthy looking. -

I really love the scent of this conditioner! To me it smells like coconut with a fruity aspect which is delicious! I have very dry, frizzy but super fine hair so I need a serious conditioner and this one fits the bill for everyday use. It moisturizes and detangles quite well without leaving heavy build-up. I find that I need to use a fair bit of product and would go through a small bottle like this pretty fast. -
