Knorr® Green Peppercorn Classic Sauce Mix
Great with Turkey on the rare occasion we eat it! A real time-saver for when you don't have the time or inclination to make a fancy sauce. Not the healthiest or best for you, but tasty and does the job!

Degree® Women MotionSense Fresh Energy Antiperspirant Stick
I don't know so much about the whole 'burst of freshness', I didn't notice any unusual bursts coming from my armpits, but you never know. However, the reality is this antiperspirant works great. Kept me clean, fresh and I did really like the smell!

TRESemmé® TRES Create Flexible Hold Styling Putty
I've always been intrigued by putty's, moreso now I have short hair, but I've yet to find one that looked good in my hair. Sadly, this is no exception. I find it just looks greasy and sticky on, I much prefer a matte look that doesn't look like I'm... +
I've always been intrigued by putty's, moreso now I have short hair, but I've yet to find one that looked good in my hair. Sadly, this is no exception. I find it just looks greasy and sticky on, I much prefer a matte look that doesn't look like I'm wearing anything in my hair.
The price is good and it holds well, but that's about it.

Dove® Soothing Chamomile Dry Spray Antiperspirant

I find that sprays keeps you a lot dryer than other formats of anti-perspirant and without clumping up under your arms, which is something I really like! This definitely lasts the whole day and sometimes more, depending on how hot it is.
Scent wise, it's not really for me. It's quite strong and perfumey, so if you want a strong scent it might be for you!

TRESemmé® Curl Defining Spray Gel

Nexxus® Maxximum Super Hold Styling & Finishing Mist
Expensive, but worth it if you want hold without your hair being un-naturally hard. Works really well with short hair as the hair has natural bounce, but still stays in place when using this. Not sure if I'd buy again, due to the high price, but... +

Keeda Solar String Lights 30 LED Crystal Ball

These pretty little solar globe lights are a little smaller than some I've used in the past (the globe is about an inch), but I was impressed by the quality right away. Unlike some I've tested, there weren't any visible glue strands and everything looked exactly as it should.
A big benefit of this type of solar lighting is it's durability. The 'globe' shell of the lights is made of a rock hard acrylic looking plastic, so it can withstand rain and weather easily. The solar lights can be set to 'on' or 'flash' mode and will turn on automatically when it hits dusk, so you can simply set them (with the solar panel facing the sun) and leave them to do their own thing.
Incredibly handy for the garden, but don't forget to peel the plastic sticker off of the solar panel!
********************************************
Pros:
+ Lovely warm glow.
+ Very durable, good for all weather conditions.
+ No visible glue or shoddy workmanship.
+ Good length.
+ Turns on automatically at dusk, so you don't need to do anything once it's set to 'on'.
Cons:
- None

I'm hugely impressed by this! This is my second experience with a gel nail polish, I purchased one at a local pharmacy while waiting for this to arrive, that was more expensive, but this polish exceeded the store-bought in every way. Here are some things you should keep in mind before buying:
1. This is a gel nail polish, so you will need a nail lamp to 'cure' it or you will be unable to use it.
2. The two colours shown in the product picture are a range of the colors it goes through, this will not stay in the 'ombre' effect at all times, but will go through combinations of fades and sometimes be fully one colour or the other. This is because the colour changes depending on your body heat (like a mood ring) so if you are cold, it will be the 'cold' colour and if your finger temp is changing a lot you will get gradients and combinations.
Gel polish can be tricky to get right and after my disastrous experience with a name brand store bought polish, I was a bit concerned about this cheaper one. The name brand was very sticky, went dull when I used cleanser and peeled off that day, but this polish exceeded my expectations so much!
The only issue I've had with chipping was in a corner where I had accidentally painted a bit of my skin and instead of leaving it alone, decided to pick it and took off the corner of the nail polish with it (totally my fault, as with gel polish you can't paint onto your skin or this could happen). In the areas where I didn't mess with the polish it is a very hard shell and hasn't peeled or cracked at all, so I'm super impressed.
I bought the blue/purple colour and while I find the purple very dark and prefer the blue, I'm super happy with it. I love checking it throughout the day and seeing it change (it changes frequently) or checking the colour after I've washed my hands. My favourite is when the tips turn a different colour, which happens when my temperature is changing. Even with a top coat this still changes colour frequently.
Note: I used this with no base coat, but one layer of top coat - [[Eleacc 15ml Soak Off UV LED Lamp Colors Gel Nail Polish Nail Art Gelpolsih Base Top Coat]]
I recommend three coats of colour with three minutes curing each coat in between, I used this nail lamp - [[MelodySusie Pro48W Nail Dryer - Smart Nail Lamp Mixed LED UV Light Beads Curing All Brands LED UV Gel Gelish Nail Polish]]

I've used a battery operated lint remover previously which succeeded my expectations and did a great job, but let me just say right off the bat that this thing is a world of difference! It can tackle much tougher threads and pills and just seems to have a much stronger motor than the non-rechargeable one. And that's without even mentioning the fact that not having to buy batteries again and again is a big plus with this.
My only minor quibble is that it's a little bigger and you have to train yourself to hold higher up (near the head) of the lint remover so you don't accidentally slide the dust case open. Having a lock for the dust case would take this product into the stratosphere of awesomeness, because it's already great!
It takes pills off of clothing (and even fabric couches) much faster and more efficiently than a battery operated model and it's still nice and lightweight and doesn't hurt my wrist. I love that they included a second set of blades, because eventually you will need to replace those and since it's rechargeable you want this to last a long time.
Ladies, this is amazing for old, pill covered bras. You won't believe the difference.
A WORD OF CAUTION: After having success with my fabric and lace bras I decided to take this to town on my silky sports bra. Big mistake and very stupid of me. DO NOT use this on silken fabrics, it's far too easy to snag it and cause holes. Oh well, we live and we learn, but I wanted to keep anyone else from making this beginners mistake.
I also love the colour and design of it, it doesn't look cheap or feel flimsy. 10/10 from me.
********************************************
Pros:
+ Rechargeable, no need to buy batteries.
+ Comes with replacement head for when the blades get dull.
+ Durable, sturdy, but lightweight.
+ Removes pills easily and efficiently on tough and light fabrics.
+ Looks professional and aesthetically pleasing.
+ Stronger and better than battery operated devices.
Cons:
- Dust holder can slide open if you tend to hold it too low on the handle, could be improved with a simple lock on this cover.
