I was a bit apprehensive when I first saw this toothbrush. The regular bristles are hidden beneath rubber ones and I was unsure of it's uneven surface. Much to my surprise all these new features worked in unison to create a better brushing experience. I found that I didn't need to use as much effort when compared to a conventional toothbrush and that my teeth felt just as clean, if not cleaner than normal. The weight of the toothbrush felt good in the hands along with the natural curve. I feel like I want to brush my teeth much longer because it is so easy to use.

I keep this in my cosmetics bag and whenever I feel the onset of a pimple, I apply some of this gel on the area. After 2 applications, I usually find that either the pimple has either disappeared or much smaller. I like the gel formula as other tea tree oil products I've tried had been watery and usually drip to other areas rather than staying right on the pimple. The scent is not too overpowering and the product dries quite quickly, so you can put it on before applying make up, or to reapply over it.
If you get the occasion pimple especially when your hormones get all out of whack, this is a must-have product!

If there is only one product you can buy at the department store, this is it! With the recent new marketing of this decades old product, I was intrigued to try it out. The formula has not changed since the beginning, so that speaks of the difference this serum makes. Formulated for all skin types, a single drop goes a long way.
This product is much like an all in one, targeting wrinkles, radiance and general health of our skin. As the name implies, it's best used at night. Though I find it's great to mix a drop with your favourite foundation to thin out the formula: great for those hot and humid days. I have to admit, I sometimes forget to use this product every night but I definitely noticed a difference in my overall skin health since I began using this product.

I have always had to deal with larger pores. Even with deep cleansing mask twice weekly, I noticed that my pores will go back to the original size the next morning. I even went as far as buying a Clarisonic just to reduce my pore size. That helped a bit more but it wasn't until a friend recommended that I try Estee Lauder; a tried, tested and true line of products, that I realized that my journey to smaller pores is achievable.
I took the dive and purchased this product recently with the gift with purchase, and within one use I found my skin to be more supple and smooth. Within 3 uses, I saw a significant difference in pore size. I use this in the daytime after I have cleansed and toned my face. I find that sometimes I don't need to wear moisturizer after the serum. Paired together with deep cleansing treatments, my pores are now consistently a smaller size than before.

Part of the 3 new limited edition Haagen Dazs flavours in 2012. There's Coconut Macaroon, Spiced Caramel Biscuit, and Vanilla Bean Espresso. The coconut macaroon is flavoured to be just like the best you will find at an Italian Bakery. Like other pints of HD, the flavour is rich and creamy to the last spoonful. Each bite was filled with coconut shreds and cookie bits. The coconut shreds really make the ice cream a true Italian macaroon. However the cookie bits are more of a little buttery chip rather than the conventional oreo-like cookie. I think its meant to replicate the egg whites and sugar mixture needed to bind the coconut shreds. Because of this the cookie pieces are more bits then pieces.
All in all, great ice cream! Haagen Dazs, once again job well done! Look for the purple lid :)

In the past I don't use Febreze items often because the smell is often too overpowering. I did find with those items that they were able to rid unwanted smells. However with this little product, I was pleasantly surprised. Easy to use, one snap and you can activate the product and there's a dial to adjust the amount of scent wanted.
At first I was hesitant to use because I thought it would be similar to the previous strong floral smell. With a snap, I found that the smell was fresh and definitely suitable for my car. At first I had this little scent clip on low and found that I didn't have any unpleasant smells. Then to test out the product better I went to a fast food chain and got a meal. Usually my car will smell of fries for the rest of the day. I turned the product to high and almost instantly the smell of fries no longer lingered.
I have so far only tried the item for a week so I can't attest to the 30 day protection, but with that one fast food experience I'm sold and will be buying this product in the future.

This is my dry skin saver through the dry winter months. I like to slab it on after I pat myself dry from a hot shower. The little bit of water left on the skin helps the tacky application. Warm it up between your palms so that only a thin layer is on your skin. If you have time after your shower put on some thin gloves after applying the body oil to your body, there should be enough product on your hand to slather on the backside. Softens skin well and last throughout the day. -

The Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner is the one product I find myself going back to every time I'm out of liner. It remains wet and you have to worry about it becoming flaky. I like to dip my brush from one side as I find it preserves the product better and the last line is as good as the first one. Easy to use with an angled brush or to push the colour in with a flat brush to make your eyes appear bigger. It has great wear and doesn't smudge. Very quick to dry because by the time you finish your second eye, your first eye is ready for lash curler/mascara.
Overall great product that will make your forget about all other gel liners.

With all Nars products you get what you pay for. Great pigmentation and vibrant duos. My current everyday routine includes the Key Largo duo. It contains a more cream than nude colour as well as a muted brown. I use the lighter colour for the entire eye lid and use the darker colour to define my crease. It really makes your eyes pop! You don't have to worry about Nars eyeshadows coming off as its fade proof through the night, without a primer. But if you know you will sweat a bit I will recommend a primer or even some of your foundation on your eyes to retain the colour.
Always been pleased with Nars products and their eyeshadows are no exception!!
