DevaCurl DevaClips
From DevaCurl

Price per tin. To be used with Mist-er Right when setting and locking curls. 12 clips per tin


Really like these.5
Much better than the silver drugstore variety. They seem to tangle in my hair less and the color keeps them discrete on the morning drive.

To answer the poor review below - My stylist taught me to use these to get "lift" at the scalp. My long curls are heavy and pull my hair close to my head for the first 2-3". I clip random small pieces of hair into a crimp shape (not a pin curl). They will not hold large quantities of hair.

Great for curly hair!4
These clips are great - especially becasue curly hair has a mind of its own! Because you're not suppose to blow dry curly hair, this option is great when you are getting dressed, doing your make up, etc...then you can just take them out and go. Also, if you use paper towels to take out some of the moisture in your hair, and not a terri cloth towel - you don't get any frizz and won't have to keep them in your hair very long. My hair dresser introduced these to me and they are great. I use the complete line of products and have no complaints. If you're not sure how to use them or the point of them - ask a hairdresser that KNOWS how to handle naturally curly hair or that is familiar with Deva Curl - there are so many options!

Can I get a lift?5
After you have washed/conditioned your hair with Devachan shampoo and conditioner, twist the individual locks of hair on top of your head into ringlets and clip them up with these clips at the root. By doing this, as the hair dries it gives the curls some "lift" so that they do not lay flat against your head and gives the curls some bounce! These are great clips that don't get tangled in your hair.

Well Worth the Cost5
All eye creams seem to come in tiny .5oz / 15ml containers. I supopse in a way it makes sense - you only use a few drops at a time, around your sensitive eyes. You don't want a giant tub of cream going bad by your bed for months while you get through it. In theory, by having a small container, just about when the lotion starts to fade and age, you've run out of it. I know with handmade lotions I make, the recipes say they'll last a month at the most before you want to discard them and make a new batch.

I really like the Olay Regenerist eye cream. The container is great - the little pump makes it easy to get out just the few drops you need. You put a few along your lower lid and then gently rub them into the area. The lotion stays put, and doesn't get into my eyes. It also doesn't have any fumes or aromas to make my eyes water. I'm the one whose eyes will tear if our cat wanders next to me and rubs my shoulder, so my eyes are generally rather sensitive.

You can turn the pump so that it locks into an open position, great for if you need to travel.

I use this each morning and evening. I really can tell the difference, that my eyes look less tired, that the skin looks more healthy. And really, it makes sense. All skin needs moisture to stay healthy. That skin beneath and around your eyes is extremely thin, so if any skin on your body is going to show dehydration first, it would be your eyes. People look at your eyes all the time when they talk to you, so they notice that pretty quickly.

The downside of course is that eye cream is rather pricey - but again, for the above reasons, I don't think it's as bad as it might seem at first. You use tiny amounts. The cream is specially formulated to be safe for use near your eyes, and to be light enough to absorb into that delicate skin. You really DO need to take care of that skin area in a special way, since the skin is so delicate. And it's well worth it to do that, since people who talk to you are generally looking at your face and your eyes when they do so.

I tend to be frugal, but this is one of the areas where I think taking good care of yourself is worth it in the long run.

Greatest eye cream ever!5
This is the only eye cream/serum I plan on wearing. It does not swell my eyes out and drift into them as I sleep. I always said I would never wear eye cream and that they were a waste of time. Once I found Regenerist Eye Serum, I was hooked.

Good product.4
I would say this is a good product. I use it twice a day and I do feel a general tightening in the overall eye area. Also an improved softness in the upper lids. Its worth a try if you need a little lift in the area. If used in conjunction with Eye Derma Pod, the skin will improve drastically in a few weeks. Its a little pricy for the size of the bottle, but its Olay so that's not a surprise.

It works for me!5
I have had very bad breath for years according to my wife. She has asked many times for me to try something. I talked to me dentist and he knew of nothing that would help. I saw this on a drug store shelf, I tried it and it works for me! My wife said it has made a wonderful difference! It does have a very strong flavor.

After a year's use: BEST mouthwash on the market!5
I used to use Listerine, Scope, Plax, etc. Nothing offered results that would last for more then an hour. About a year ago, while looking for a better solution, I came across SmartMouth. Yes, it is more costly then the others, but SO well worth it. I double it with the SmartMouth toothpaste for an even better result.

PROS:
- no burning of the gums; unlike mouth washes that contain alcohol, there is no painful burning;
- unlike mouth washes that contain saccharine and alcohol (and therefore produce sugar laden environment in your mouth, which leads to growth of bacteria, which leads to more bad breath), SmartMouth produces no sugary aftertaste and no secondary bad breath;
- unlike other mouth washes, SmartMouth doest's just cover bad breath with minty flavour; it NEUTRALIZES bad breath;
- despite the two bottles, the pumps allow for clean and fast dispensation and help you avoid pouring too much/too little into the cup (and wasting product);

CONS:
- small size; I wish they produced a 32 oz size...
- price; however, even though it is probably twice the average mouth wash competition price, it is well worth it, because it actually WORKS!

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- you must use it TWICE a day for a 24 hour protection; some boxes actually say 12 hours, instead of 24 hours - I guess they may have been having an issue with the 24 hour claim;
- the suggested amount to use is four squirts from each bottle; I find three squirts MORE then enough; that makes the two bottles last about three weeks (the 16 oz size; the 8 oz size is more like a starter size, which will last about a week and a half);
- I found that adding the SmartMouth toothpaste made the process even more efficient;
- they make now a cinnamon flavour; I just tried it last week; no, it is NOT sugary; the cinnamon is delicate and does not burn; I recommend it as a change to the mint...

The Natural Shampoo5
I've used this shampoo for about six months now, and this is the first time I've gone to a hairdresser and had her compliment me for my lack of split ends. Also, my blonde hair has gotten lighter, and it looks great!

This is the first time I've used the conditioner, and I have to say it's given my hair a little bounce. I used to wake up with my hair all messy and cow-licked. Since I've started using the conditioner, my hair has retained some nice curves.

It's worth the money, I think. My hair isn't overloaded with so many unpronounceable chemicals that most of the shampoos have. No Lauryl or Laureth Sulfates, DEA or TEA, Animal By-products, Artificial Colors, Synthetic Fragrance, or Harsh Chemicals.

If you want a natural shampoo, I recommend this product.

Oil-free, but beware: contains alcohol1
I hate to wash my face at night. Somehow, I always end up going to bed with wet hair. Therefore, I have been on a quest for reasonably priced wipes that would remove make up (including waterproof mascara), while leaving my sensitive skin soft and calm. Since I do break out sometimes, I was instantly attracted to the Neutrogena Deep Clean wipes due to the oil-free claim. However, as soon as I opened the box I regretted my purchase, as I was hit by a nose burning and eye watering alcohol vapor.

PROS:
-the wipes are over an inch wider then most other brands (they are 7.4" by 7.2") making them more comfortable to handle;
-one sheet was enough to remove the foundation (look under CONS for the mascara note);

CONS:
-scent is vile and lingers; it reminds me of the scent of industrial alcohol, the one my father, an amateur photographer, used to clean his equipment; the alcohol burns my nostrils;
-only after one use, my face seemed slightly red; even though the directions clearly state to use the wipes on eye lids, there was slight burning and my eye lid skin was VERY dry afterwards;
-I am sure the inclusion of menthol and salicylic acid did not help; I cannot imagine those are good for skin around the eyes? unlike with other brands I have used, I have found no claims on the box on the safety of the wipes for contact lens wearers;
-do not remove waterproof mascara;
-price per wipe is higher then most supermarket brands; I could have lived with that, had the wipes performed satisfactorily;

The only thing I love about this product is the size. Alas, my search for a wipe that removes make up (including waterproof mascara) and does not aggravate skin continues...

Best "budget" Deodorant on the Market5
This is an excellent choice for the average guy. I am in my late 20's, working, living a regular active lifestyle. I will not vouch for the hardcore fitness guy, because that is not me. Through the years I have bought other brands of deodorant when on sale (ie. Right Guard, Mitchum, Old Spice, Sure), and have found myself always going back to Degree (others become back-up). The other brands that I have used can be somewhat comparable. Mitchum works alright, but it has much less deodorant and is more expensive. Old Spice also is a contender, but the smell is a little strong and its cross brands are not always consistent with one another. Overall, Degree is an excellent choice for the average guy who needs a quality, non-budget breaking deodorant.

Update; I tried the "Ion Technology" Degree and it was awful, stick with the regular Degree. Degree for Men Deodorant With Silver Ion Technology, Cool Impact, 3-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

Pros:
-Budget priced
-Bigger stick than more expensive brands (ie. Mitchum)
-Not an overwhelming perfume smell
-Never a problem with wetness
-No white residue

Con:
-Sometimes cheaper at drug store

HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE!1
Thanks to this horrible deodorant, I have damaged over 20 shirts of mine. This deodorant works great and does the job, however you soon realise that all your shirts are becoming damaged. You will notice large yellow stains under the arms of the shirt, where you applied the deodorant. These stains DO NOT come out and your shirts will be permanently damaged. This is one of the worst products I have ever used. Stay far away from this horrible product or risk losing all your favorite shirts.

works okay, but I wont buy degree anymore3
As a deodorant, it does do its job -- no complaints, and the scene it not overbearing. My biggest complaint is that shortly after you put it on, its starts flaking everywhere. Case in point, I went to the doctor, and needed to take my shirt off. Once my shirt and undershirt came off, I have deodorant flakes flying all over the place from my pits. I had only put this on about 30 minutes prior, and there is goes flaking everywhere. It doesnt matter how much you put on, it just ends of flaking, and its nasty. My other complaint is that some of the scents are way too powerful like clean slate, and its smell like you dumped a bottle of cologne on even if you only put a little. I really recommend trying something else because I am.
