Maybelline Define-A-Lash Lengthening Mascara

Maybelline has already defined themselves with their pink and green tube, but they define a lash in a whole new way with Define-a-Lash mascara. The unique, flexible brush glides along your lashes, leaving just enough color to lengthen without clumping. It’s not as bold and thick as Great Lash or Dior’s DiorShow, but it’s […]

Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s

I love chocolate, and I can’t say I’m the most discriminating when it comes to what kind I buy. I’ll eat your popular at-the-counter variety or I’ll splurge on gourmet. I use to be a fiend for milk chocolate, but in the last few years I’ve developed a vicious craving for dark. Recently I discovered […]

Bare Escentuals On The Spot Eye Makeup Remover

I tried this on a whim one day when I was ordering from Sephora and needed to boost my subtotal up a bit to qualify for free shipping! Little did I expect to find one of the most convenient products I’ve ever tried. This product is perfect for travel, it easily slips […]

Fekkai Glossing Sheer Shine Mist

I love Fekkai products, especially the glossing cream that shopgirl_joyce just reviewed. When I first saw this glossing product, I knew I had to try it, but was disappointed that it didn’t live up to my expectations, or to the quality I expect from this brand. The product promises a “lightweight, brilliant shine,” […]

iCleaner Pro iPod and iBook Cleaner

Unfortunately that slick silver iPod surface scratches quicker than an old LP. And thanks to a case I bought that contributed to the scratching, I was in need of a way to remove as many of those surface marks as possible. Much to my disappointment, this product just didn’t deliver the end results it promised.
However, […]

Util-a-Mat Multi-Purpose Reversible Foam Mats

The best thing about these mats are their versatility. You can buy them for the kids play area, the garage, a business, by the pool, as a workout mat and whatever else you can think of where you would want to stand or sit on a comfortable surface (each piece is 13mm thick). I bought […]

REVIEW: Woolite Portable Oxy Deep P.O.D.

I was ready to give this product a higher rating until a day later I noticed the spot that I had cleaned on my wool-pile rug was discolored. It’s only a shade or so lighter, the rug is not ruined, but I certainly won’t be trying this product on any other wool materials. On […]

T-fal Vitesse 7-Cup Electric Kettle

A few months ago I reviewed a Philips electric water kettle that I loved, but then I discovered mineral deposits forming in the bottom. After a little research, I realized a stainless steel bottom would resolve this issue and set about looking for a replacement kettle. And here it is, T-fal’s Vitesse 7-Cup Electric Kettle […]

Duro-Med Pill Crusher

If I lived with Hercules, this would be a great product, but unfortunately Duro-Med does not include him with their product.
Here’s how it works: Unscrew the top, put in your pill, replace top and turn until pill is crushed. Sounded simple enough to me and at a little over $3, the price was right. I’ve […]
