Overall this soap moisturized my skin and did not leave any residue whatsoever, on this basis, I would recommend it. However, the scent was much too strong and I ended up queasy from it. Not such a good way to start my day! I use the Shea Butter scented Dove Nourishing Bar on a regular basis, and I will not be switching to this one.

I was chosen to review this product through the Product Review Club. I got the strips just in time for a wedding I was going to. I had never used any whitening strips and was a little terrified that my teeth would become extremely sensitive and/or painful.
First problem is that I have an orthodontic wire behind my bottom teeth to prevent them from moving. The Whitestrips instructions say do not use on dental braces. So I decided to try chatting online with one of their staff members to see if I could use the strips on my bottom teeth because the strips folds over and sticks to the back of your teeth. The person was totally unhelpful and kept repeating herself saying you can't use it on braces and it only whitens the front of your teeth. Anyways, I decided to use it despite the wire as the strip only folds over to halfway of your back teeth. I had no problem removing the strip from the wire, which it did come into contact with.
The next problem I encountered was which strip was for the bottom teeth and which one was for the top and which edge of the strip was to be folded over and which was to adhere to teeth. Eventually I took a chance and felt the longer strip was for the top and the shorter strip was for the bottom and the straight edge without the cutouts did not fold over.
I put on the strips and was good to go. They adhered to my teeth and didn't move for the 2 hours. But, I have a terrible gag reflex and started gagging at times throughout the 2 hour treatment because I couldn't put my teeth together because of the sensation of the strips against each other (drove me nuts!). So my mouth was slightly open for 2 hours. When I spoke people told me I was talking funny. Not only that but the product on the strips began to bubble and stayed that way for 2 hours. I would recommend using this product when you know you have 2 hours to kill in the comfort of your own home and in without speaking to anyone.
During or after the 2 hours, I did not experience any tooth pain or sensitivity. It looks like I'm one of the lucky few. That said, it may not have occurred this time around because it was my first time using a whitening product (aside from toothpaste).
I had no difficulty removing the strips after the 2 hours. I was, however, disappointed that my teeth did not appear any whiter than they normally do. I use the Crest Vivid Whitening toothpaste and find that it does the same job as the 2 hour express whitestrips and I don't have to go to the hassle of sitting there, unable to talk or close my mouth for 2 hours.
Bottom line: I would not recommend these whitestrips, especially given the price, but I would recommend the 3D Advanced Vivid Whitening toothpaste.
Editor's Note: we strongly recommend users always follow the package directions and the advice of a Customer Service Representative in you are ever unclear about how to use it or if you have special considerations (such as a dental appliance) before using any product.

I was really excited to try on my lip gloss trio that I received from Sephora for my birthday. I am a self-confessed lipgloss-aholic. However, within a few seconds of trying on this gloss my lips started feeling really tingly, and painful and became red. I tried a different colour and again the same thing happened. What a disappointment! -
MAC Cosmetics Mascara X
I was really disappointed with this mascara. Within a week of using the product it made my lashes fall out. I stopped using it and my lashes stopped falling out.

Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Lash Mascara
I absolutely love this mascara. It's the only one I've found that doesn't make my natural lashes fall out. It makes my naturally long lashes look natural and not too overpowering. It adds just the right amount of length and volume.

This foundation is great for people with fair skin. It looks and feels completely natural when you're wearing it. I found that it did not provide adequate coverage for some darker coloured scars and I had to get the eye brightener in Well-Rested to cover them sufficiently. Overall this has been one of the best foundations I have used and I've gotten many compliments on my skin while wearing it. -

I tend not to like MAC lip gloss because they're usually quite sticky, but I was pleasantly shocked at this one. It was really really shiny and added just the right amount of colour needed for those nights out. It's perfect for those low key date nights. The colour I ordered was called date night and I was really impressed with it! -
