I've been using this for over a week in my car. At first I put it on the vents at the front of the car in the centre of the console. I liked the smell. It wasn't overpowering, and smelled like Febreze spray. I have to admit that our car doesn't have too many smelly situations, no smoke or pets, but it isn't a new car and who doesn't like a fresh smell? After a few days, however, the scent became too much for me and my husband, so we moved it to one of the side vents. This placement has been much better. It makes the car smell fresh, but not overpowering. While I think that the clip has been useful, my husband would disagree. While I don't think we'll be buying another one, I think anyone who has pets or smokes in their car would see great benefit from using this freshener.

I have to say I love this masque! I live in a very dry climate and using this masque, along with the shampoo, have made my hair look and feel incredible. I'm usually not this enthusiastic about a product, but this mask has lessened the amount of flyaways I have had this winter and has also made my hair smooth, shiny, and look the healthiest it has in a long time. I love the thickness of the masque, but it doens't weigh my hair down. I only use the masque once a week, but I find that it all my hair needs to keep it looking so great. I'm so glad I found this product. Even though it is a bit pricey, because I only use it once a week or so I know it will last longer than the shampoo. -

I was very excited to receive these products in the mail as I live in a very dry climate, which makes my naturally dry hair full of frizzy, brittle, fly-away hair. I enjoyed the product. It smelled pleasant and worked very well. I don't think that I would recommend the shampoo as much as I would the mask. I, like some of the reviewers, have very long hair, and the amount you receive in the bottle will not last me very long. The mask, however, I think would be worth the price as my hair was soft, shiny, and silky smooth. -

I really enjoyed my experience with the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush. I have used less expensive electric toothbrushes before, but they are bulky and the on/off switches are difficult. The Pulsonic toothbrush has an easy to use on/off button. It is slender in your hand, like a toothbrush and cleanses the teeth as if you had just been to the dentist. I have even left it unplugged for the past few days, and the battery is still working, so it would be easy enough to take it away with you for the weekend without the charger. I only have two complaints or concerns about the toothbrush. The first is that the base gets very warm when you leave it on to charge. The other is the price. While I saw it on sale this weekend for $80 that is a steep price-tag for a toothbrush. It does an amazing job, but I haven't used it long enough to see any improvement in the whiteness of my teeth. I would definitely recommend this toothbrush to someone who was looking to invest in a good and effective electric toothbrush. -

I have used bareMinerals for over a year now. I'm not normally a foundation-wearing person, but the SPF addition and the positive reviews prompted me to try them out when I wanted to add a bit of foundation to my makeup routine. As someone who doesn't normally wear foundation, I found bareMinerals a great product. It was easy to apply and it provided good coverage without making my skin look cakey. In fact, the first time I wore it I received many compliments on my skin! The only down side is the price. It is expensive, but the product definitely works. You can get as much or as little coverage as you would like. I would recommend bareMinerals to someone who is looking for a light foundation that will serve them well. -

This is not the kind of SPF you put on to feel better about protecting yourself from skin cancer, but still try to get a tan. This is serious SPF protection and it is fantastic. My dermatologist recommended La Roche-Posay to me six years ago and it is the SPF I swear by. It is thick and can be a bit greasy, but now that I live in a drier climate (that is closer to the sun) that hasn't affected my skin as much as when I lived as sea level. I highly recommend this SPF to anyone who spends time out in the sun. This is a bit thick for everyday wear, but if you ever travel to the beach for a summer holiday where you are spending hours in the sun, this is definitely one to take with you. -

I was a bit skeptical about 'Warmth' when I saw the color of the powder. I received it as part of the Bare Escentuals starter kit and was hesitant to use it. 'Warmth' is a dark burgundy powder, but don't let this fool you. It is said to give you a sun-kissed glow, and it does when used sparingly. You must do the swirl and tap method recommended by Bare Escentuals. If you have too much product on your brush, you will look like a clown. That said, if you have a little bit of 'warmth' on your brush and you dust the apples of your cheeks as well as your forehead, nose and chin (where the sun would hit you), then you will have a nice color to your skin. There is nothing worse than the look of mono-tone skin. Warmth gives you a healthy and natural glow that lasts all day. -

I found L'Oreal's Root Rescue a great product. It matched my hair color seamlessly and was easy to use. I don't care for the gloves they provide as they don't fit my hands very well and I didn't like that you had to pour one liquid from a bottle into a second bottle, but they do provide instructions for more stability so that you don't pour dye all over your bathroom. I was very pleased with the shine and silkiness of my hair, and the gray coverage was enough to get me through until I next color. -

I received this cream along with the brush cleanser as part of the Review club. I was excited because I was in the market for a new moisturizer, but I was disappointed. I disliked the floral fragrance immediately. I also did not like the texture. It was thin and runny, not thick and creamy. I wanted to like this moisturizer, but the fragrance kept me from wanting to apply it. When I would apply it, my skin would break out because I do have sensitive skin. It certainly provided moisture, and this product may work for less sensitive skin looking for a light moisturizer. I, however, will not be buying this product. -

Ok, so I've been coloring my hair at home for a long time. I love haircolor that only takes ten minutes. And this lives up to it's promises. My real problem comes with the gloves. The gloves that come with the kit were too big in the fingers. This meant that I had no real sense about applying the product to my hair. My other problem is with the conditioner. I would much prefer a small tube of conditioner than one envelope of product. As with most garnier products I have tried, I am not crazy about the fragrance. But overall the shine in my hair is good and the grey coverage was good. I won't be buying this for future use, but am glad to have tried. -
