Product Rants/Raves
What are some things you have tried that you loved or hated?
Re: Product Rants/Raves
LOVE:
--I was at Holiday Market last week, and they had cinnamon yogurt pretzels - I didn't even know such a thing existed! OMG, I have died and gone to heaven, they are amazing.
--Wet 'n Wild twist-up eyeliner. Goes on so smoothly, and it's wet n wild, so it's cheap! It comes with an eye highlighter on the other end too....bonus!
--Double-sided fashion tape. It held my dress in place (in the b00b area) all night last Friday!
HATE:
--Cherry salsa. For some reason people keep giving it to us, and neither DH nor I like it.
Big Color Eye Pencil by Avon - I've used it for years and years. I wish they still had the purple & pink colors, but I still buy it.
After Party by Bed Head - it tames my hair and makes it smooth
Pure Beech Sateen sheets from BBB - I have a love/hate relationship with them. I LOVE the way they feel, but they also rip and I've gone through many sets.
Raves:
-I'm a Bare Essentials convert. I love the powder.
-Contigo water bottles and coffee mugs. They don't spill, like, ever, and the coffee stays hot for hours.
-This weather.

Pssst dry shampoo (thanks Jess!!!) is amazing.
Tide Stain Release tabs are great. Get all of our stains out and make our whites really white.
3M Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner works awesome, best out of any SS cleaner I've tried.
All Green Works products are amazing.
Arm & Hammer Pet Hair Release, its a powder you sprinkle on your carpet &/or furniture, let it sit for 15 min, then vacuum. Works great and makes your house smell amazing. Bonus is it's only $1.99 at Target!

I am now in love with Bare Minerals Well-Rested for eyes. Nothing I have tried before has ever come close to covering my dark circles the way this stuff does.
I also just tried the sauteed mushrooms at Outback the other day for the first time. I want more right now! I even looked up a similar receipe online.
Zantac, it allows me to sleep at night.
Amazon Prime....not really an actual product, but makes my life so much easier.
Method brand cleaning products, they smell pretty and get the job done.
I'm calling them tonight re: my 95% bill increase.
Jess - please tell me a bit more about this product.
Love it. It works great!
Fire it up, Let's go get this thing stuck
If you color your hair and/or have grays it is a spray (like hairspray kind of) that you put on your roots to cover them up between seeing your stylist.
It's not perfect, but my roots, and especially my gray hair, is so bad right now and i have been too busy to get into the stylist so it has been helping a lot!
I color and highlight my hair so nothing is going to match perfectly but i got the blond and it really covers my gray's perfectly. It takes some getting used to because it is a little sticky, but overall i would recommend it. I just spray it in my part area or around my face if i pull my hair back. It doesn't take much at all.
This is like the bumble & bumble powder spray. I seriously love that stuff. Helps with the greasies too.
