It could just be user error, but I couldn't seem to get these to stay put. I found them too tricky to apply, but the idea is a great one! Unfortunately, they are just collecting dust now.

A few years back I had PTK surgery and no longer require contacts or glasses, but these were always my go to lenses. I wore contacts for 15 years. The Acuvue 2's are comfortable, economical and a trusted line. I would definitely recommend, especially for first time lens wearers when fit is so important.

I have suffered with cold sores ever since I was a child. At the time, my pediatrician told my mom to treat my sores with Lysine. This absolutely works; now as an adult I treat an outbreak with both Lysine and Abreva. A typical cold sore for me lasts 7-12 days. If I catch it at the first tingle, it lasts around 3 days and is much less severe. Abreva is expensive but it does work! You can often find coupons online. It is the only FDA approved treatment. As a side note, if you are prone to outbreaks often, if you take the Lysine supplement it keeps them gone.

I love this lipstick in Fairest Nude but I would not by again. I couldn't get past the smell! It is awful; very artificial and strong smelling. There is also a taste to it that is not pleasant. If you can get past those two things, it is a good quality lipstick.

I have been using this product since I was a teenager! My skin is still oily, but not nearly as much as it was back then. However, this is still a must have product for me in the summer. We have been hitting record highs this season and this product keeps my skin fresh without having to add layers of powder (which tends to oxidize when mixed with oil). The pop up packet is really convenient and the material is more like a soft, thin sheet of plastic; I love the fact that it never rips like paper would. I've been meaning to try the ELF blotting papers to compare, but haven't found them yet. I would definitely recommend this product.

My ponytail is dry and coarse, but the top of my hair is soft and shiny. I used it for the first time last week and left it on for 5 minutes, only applying to my pony. My hair is thick but the directions said to use a small amount so I did. I didn't notice much difference but the scent was very nice and it did make my hair tangle free. I then used it again this evening and used twice as much as the last time, and covered my hair with a shower cap leaving it on for 2 hours. This time I did see more improvement; it was softer and more manageable. I wouldn't consider this a mask or a deep conditioner; however, out of the drugstore brands I have tried this one has yielded the best results. Nevertheless, my quest continues.

A coworker told me about this product. I don't have split ends but for the last year or two my hair has been really dry, and she said this product made her hair so soft and shiny. I don't buy into the hype that split ends can somehow be sealed or mended together, but I thought why not give it a try. My hair is long and thick; coarse and dryer on my mane. The instructions say to use 2-3 pumps, but I found that was too much and it made my hair greasy. I use 1 pump on damp hair and use another partial pump on dry hair. I didn't experience a bad smell as the previous reviewer stated. I didn't really get a wow factor as it didn't do anything for me that other styling creams haven't done. It might work best for those with normal or slightly dry hair rather than coarse. I would not repurchase.

There are not many things we can get for a dollar anymore. I received a free tube of this gloss in Fairy. I like ELF products a lot, but I did run into a few issues with this one. I liked the color; its very pretty. However, I noticed immediately that the gloss had an odd smell and taste to it. It was not pleasant by any means; sort of like burnt plastic. The gloss had pretty good staying power and a nice texture and pigment. I'm not crazy about the brush applicator, but if you prefer brushes this one is for you; no shedding. As long as you can get past the odor, it is a nice gloss.

Whenever I visit my parents, I have to bring my own soap. She uses Softsoap hand soap and body wash and it is awful. I never feel clean with it and it leaves my skin dry. The smell is also not pleasant enough and the lather is almost nonexistent. I have never come across a worse soap than Softsoap.

This isn't one of my favorites at all. It reminded me of koolaid and it doesn't fit as a holiday fragrance. I'll pass for next time!
