Glaceau Vitaminwater
this is nothing more than a watered down sugar drink. the marketing for this would make you think its a healthier alternative.

for what you pay, this is a great product.
it does what it claims to do. pores do look better. for a scrub, its not as abrasive...which is great. its not too drying.
it has a pleasant scent.
i have sensitive skin, so i do have the occasional outbreak when i use this. however, i've had worse reactions to other cleansers.

Pro-Prime™ Pore Refining Primer - Oil-Free review is based on sample.
i did look up the price as i do like this product...but i dont like it enough to shell out over $30 for a tiny tube.
i used this both under make up and just as a pore refiner. i first tested this without makeup. normally, by midday, my t-zone will shine. but, with an application of this over a span of a week, i was quite happy with the results. my t-zone would be matte for an entire day!!
nothing spectacular about it as a makeup primer.

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky
at $4-5 a clip, too expensive and not worth it. yes, its febreze and so i had high expectations. i've tried most of their products and none have been too overpowering for me. this vent clip? burned my senses! waaay too strong even on the lowest... +
at $4-5 a clip, too expensive and not worth it.
yes, its febreze and so i had high expectations. i've tried most of their products and none have been too overpowering for me. this vent clip? burned my senses! waaay too strong even on the lowest setting and lowest vent setting.
if you're like me and find it too strong, you can still salvage this by clipping it elsewhere in the car. there will still be a pleasant smell when you enter the car :)

Skinny Cow Ice Cream
if you're looking for a moderately tasty low fat treat, this is for you. purchased this on sale. if it wasn't on sale, i wouldn't give it a second look. its not worth it at regular price. i was amazed at how tasty the cookies and cream ice cream... +
if you're looking for a moderately tasty low fat treat, this is for you.
purchased this on sale. if it wasn't on sale, i wouldn't give it a second look. its not worth it at regular price.
i was amazed at how tasty the cookies and cream ice cream sandwich was for such a low fat/calorie treat. the chocolate/vanilla cones....not as tasty. i could taste the low fat, low calorie-ness LOL
this was a nice change compared to my higher fat and higher calorie haagen dazs because i definitely didn't have to feel as guilty.

this is great for anytime your skin is feeling drier than usual....like winter time. hands get greasy after application though...
love the rich texture of this body butter compared to other body butters. really feels like slathering butter on. other body butters can seem like super thick cream.
it smells great!
the only thing i dont love about this is the price. this can be remedied if purchased during a sale.

this is not too greasy yet quite moisturizing.
not a huge fan of the smell or the tube packaging. i find it hard to squeeze nicely from the bottom to the top. also, many times, i squeeze and too much comes out...as in for some reason...it keeps coming out even when i only squeeze a bit.
best to buy this during sales :)

finally got around to using my facebook sample. I will definitely purchase this once i finish my current cleanser.
having super sensitive skin and oily t-zone makes it difficult for me find a cleanser that can appease both issues. 95% of the cleansers i've tried for my combination skin will leave my face blotchy, burning and red...so i had low expectations for this sample.
super surprised at how much my face agrees with this cleanser.
-face feels clean without feeling too dry/taut
-pores look smaller
-skin doesn't break out in blotchy redness
-pleasant smell (potentially too strong for some)
-a little goes a long way
-great lather

Clear Care Eye Care Solution

After trying out the alcon and baush&lomb;solutions simply because they were on sale....to my horror, when i visited my eye doctor, she said i had a "rash" on my eyes due to the use of such solutions. this "rash" was not visible to me...nor did it irritate my eyes. she mentioned that it was probably just my sensitivity to those formulas of solutions. she suggested clear care.
have not had any issues since switching to clear care.
when i look at my contact lenses, they even look cleaner everytime i put them in.
downside is that this is more expensive than all the other solutions....and you use quite a bit more of the solution to fill the little canister-like device that holds your contacts.

Colgate Extra Clean Toothbrush
These usually go on sale for $1 and they even come in multipacks. I found the medium to be a bit to stiff for my liking even though I usually use medium bristle toothbrushes. The bonus to this? It has a tongue scraper on the back of the brush head!... +

The bonus to this? It has a tongue scraper on the back of the brush head! Cool!
