Crest Whitestrips Classic

Worked great, but may make teeth sensitive

I bought a box of Whitestrips before my wedding. They worked great! My teeth were a few shades lighter and the results lasted about a year - much longer than they advertise. I don't drink a lot of coffee, but I eat a lot of chocolate and drink the occasional cup of tea. My only problem was that the bleach really irritated my gums if I placed the strips up too high on the gumline and my bottom teeth became very sensitive to temperature changes. I fixed this by only using the strips once a day or once every 2 days.

MOP Mixed Greens Shampoo

Works fine, smells terrible

This shampoo cleans my hair just fine and my hair feels good. But the scent is just too "green," almost like a bitter lettuce spring mix rather than a refreshing tangy green scent. Kind of expensive for something that just washes down the drain.

Rimmel London Cool Matte 16 Hr Mousse Foundation

Stays put when you need it, comes off when you're done

This is a very good foundation that gives light to medium coverage. It stays on for my entire work day and doesn't rub off but comes off easily with a regular facial cleanser. It's matte to start, but doesn't really keep my skin shine-free for more than 4 hours.
