houdiniphile says "No mess!" about Ivory Liquid Body Soap

houdiniphile — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:48:15 GMT

Ivory Liquid Body Soap has all the great benefits of Ivory bar soap, and then some! It is frequently on sale, and Proctor & Gamble puts coupons in the Sunday paper for these at least once a month.

It is preferable to the Dove and the Ivory beauty bars because it doesn't melt away in the shower, it does not get used over and over, so it's cleaner. and it's still a better price than most body washes out there. Some of the generics have a lot of fragrance, like Freesia. I love Freesia but am allergic to is. WIth Ivory, you know what your skin will do. Get Ivory products at everyday low prices at KMart!

houdiniphile says "Get soap and moisturizer in one!" about Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar

houdiniphile — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:48:14 GMT

Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar is 1/4 moisturizing cream, is hypo-allergenic, and fragrance free. I picked some up at KMart in conjunction with a Dove multi purchase promotion. I even used manufacturer's coupons!

This is the best stuff to be sure you do not break out. The bars are a good deal compared to the bottled wash, You get a lot more uses for the price. It just doesn't get any more thrifty or skin protective than that.

Check your local KMart for a Unilever promotion and grab a pack of Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bars today.

houdiniphile says "Specific uses" about Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Cream/Dry Skin Therapy

houdiniphile — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:48:13 GMT

Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Cream/Dry Skin Therapy has a lot of uses:

Works Great for Agent Orange

Psoriasis

Rosacea

Prescribed for children with Eczema

Soothes Shingles or chicken pox (AFTER skin starts healing)

Safe enough for babies to use

Recommended by health care practitioners every where, Eucerin has a valuable line of products that meet the very best standards in healthcare.

There is no reason you should have anything less, when caring for your own skin. It does not require a prescription to buy Eucerin, and I have seen it releive so many issues. It is not a cure, and you should consult a dermatologist if you don't know what's going on with your skin. The great thing about Eucerin, is that you can use this without harming your skin even before you get to the Dr for it.

houdiniphile says "Is there anything Cetaphil can't do?" about Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

houdiniphile — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:48:11 GMT

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a must have. Skin care provided to critically ill patients is called "courtesy care" if the patient is not aware of it. For this care, we insisted on Cetaphil. But healthy, active people use it too! Camping? Flea Marketing?

Maybe Off Roading?

I have found it works well for: babies, elderly, immobile, bariatric (very obese), people with a cast or in traction, and just any time you really need to freshen up and can't get to a shower. It is gentle, clean, quick, and great for active people. I keep this with me for plane rides . For the plane you need a sample size, but don't board without it!

houdiniphile says "sporty and smells nice, lasts all day." about Olay Quench Therapy body lotion

houdiniphile — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:38:51 GMT

This Olay Quench Therapy body lotion is fantastic for wearing to work. It seems to have some antiperspirant efffect without all the ingredients in regular antiperspirant.

It rubs in quickly, unlike other lotions, and does not leave a film behind. I prefer a lotion that rubs in quickly, and leaves the skin moisturized, but not damp.

It helps me feel fresh and clean all day. The mild fragrance lasts and lasts. Easy to find on the shelf with the lavender bottle, get Olay Quench Terapy Lotion, at any KMart.

bargainfinder says "Clinique All About Eyes is Great for puffiness" about Clinique All About Eyes

bargainfinder — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:53:52 GMT

I got "All About Eyes" as a free-be in a sample size during a Clinique bonus days event and really like it. I can feel it tingling and it reduces morning puffiness quite well. I also have dark circles and it helps with this as well although it doesn't eliminate them. I don't know if I would buy this separately, it would be nice if they would put all the features of the various creams into one. I didn't notice any reduction in wrinkles or lines, but honestly I don't know if any over the counter creme works on this. Clinique products are always above average in thier quality but a bit on the pricey side. If you have puffy red eyes this might be worth a try, better yet if they offer it again during a bonus event. I don't always use the items they give away but in this case I am almost completely out of the "All About Eyes" cream. I would recommend this to a friend.

Lotto says "Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil, is just like a veil for your skin." about Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil

Lotto — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:51:29 GMT

Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil smooths out all your skin faults. It looks so natural, and is so light you don't feel you are wearing makeup at all. I do tend to get itchy or breakout with continued use of makeup, but Mineral Veil has never given me a problem. It is so gentle to your skin, you don't even have to remove it at night. It is applied over your foundation with a buffing motion, and never looks cakey like a face powder can. It gives your face a lovely, clean, natural glow. It makes me feel like I have great skin!

Margita says "Fabulous perfume" about adidas Adrenaline

Margita — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:37:32 GMT

I love this perfume, I always get compliments when I wear it. Kmart on freedom drive has the best price available. Most importantly my Danny absolutely adores it! (he's certainly very particular) I appreciate the high quality at a bargain price, it leaves me more money to pick up a short skirt which he's also a big fan of lol,The smell is very feminine alluring abit hard to describe. I highly recommed picking up a bottle of this wonderfully femine,unique sporty fragrance at your local k-mart today,

houdiniphile says "Luxury on a dime" about Suave Naturals Cocoa butter Body Wash

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:35 GMT

Suave Naturals Cocoa Butter moisturizing body wash is infused with cocoa bean extracts. I stock up on my Suave products when KMart is having a sale on purchases of Unilever brand products.

For example, you can get $5 off 20 or $12 off $50 purchased. When I see signs like this at KMArt, I pull out my coupon wallet and my monthly shopping list, and play the matching game. It really is a good product and there is a coupon in the newspaper for it at least once a month. By doubling the coupons, or using KMart deals, it is just a few pennies per wash for a SPA QUALITY product.

houdiniphile says "Has 7 moisturizing botanicals\" about Tone Exotic Body Wash Water Lily and Sugar Cane

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:34 GMT

Tone Exotic Fusions body wash was featured in a large 18 ounce bottle, and on sale at my local KMart. I had not tried any Tone since the bath bar, so I snapped it up.

It leaves your skin soft, has a pleasant scant that lasts with you through the day. It is gentle enough for the whole family, yet strong enough to leave you confident through a busy day.

I really like the wide variety of scents, the silky smooth feel when using it, and the great deals you can get on Dial products from KMart stores.

houdiniphile says "Brunette or Blond? Pantene has you covered!" about Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Color Enhancing Shampoo, Nutmeg to Dark Brown

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:32 GMT

Pantene Brunette Expressions and Pantene Blonde Expressions in the 13 ounce bottle can do the same thing. They bring out the natural highlights of your hair without added color or processing.

One reason I like the Pantene Pro-V expressions line is that I have dark brown hair from my native american ancestors and blonde streaks (and the bottom half of my hair) from some European heritage. So my hair is three colors. The gray streaks that Native Americans areknown for as early as the teens is covered by the Brunette Expressions and enhanced and shiny if I use the Blonde. Please try the Pantene brand which is often on special at KMart.

houdiniphile says "Helps your hair grow longer--faster" about Herbal Essences Long and Strong

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:32 GMT

Herbal Essences long term relationship and also the long and strong varieties are great for my hair. I used to experience breakage, right at the earlobe level. I started using Herbal Essences by Clairol and found it very gentle.

It is a good idea to vary your shampoo and conditioner routine once every 14 days for optimal shine and to avoid product buildup. I find that the Herbal Essences Long and Strong makes my hair shaft appear thicker, withstand heat and brushing, and tangle up less. You can find it at KMart.

houdiniphile says "good buy and good bye moisture" about Soft & Dri Soft Scent Antiperspirant and Deodorant

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:36:09 GMT

Soft & Dri 6 ounce aerosol is a great product made by Dial. I love to buy all my personal care and laundry items from KMart because of the fantastic deals they offer when you buy more than one related product. The signs go up on the shelves and clearly shows you how much you can save and KMart even accepts manufacturer's coupons! Double your savings.

There is a bit of aluminum cholorohydrate, and some people feel that ingredient is not great for health. I find the product helps me when walking, running, catching a bus with lots of people on it. It's my all time favorite!

houdiniphile says "Clean hands without peeling or chafing" about Dial Hand Soap Eco-Smart Refill White Tea & Vitamin E with moisturizer

houdiniphile — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:56:31 GMT

I like this because you can use it to refill the little pump jars of hand soap and waste less packaging. Dial hand soap refill packs come in several scents.

One of my facorite things about shopping for Dial products is that they have newspaper coupons at the same time they are on sale at KMart. There is often a deal of register coupons that print out when you buy $15 of any dial products together, that you get $5 off your next purchase. This saves money and keeps me on budget, because the product list always meets my needs for the month!

Jackfoury says "Easy to operate - good for teens" about Remington Protect & Shine Pro Wet to Straight Flat Iron

Jackfoury — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:07:08 GMT

I bought this styling tool for my daughter who has long super thick black hair. It's extremely difficult to style and she prefers the straight look. Her hair also takes hours to fully dry. She started using this product and loves it. She (we) can't live without it. It can be used safely on wet hair. It will iron it out and leave it flat and silky. Great for teens who are learning how to use an iron. One design issue is the power +/- button can easily be pressed while using it even if don't intend to adjust it. Maybe it should be located somewhere else....

shc-ralavi says "Aveda Smooth Infusion - Good, But Pricey" about Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo

shc-ralavi — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:24:05 GMT

Aveda products are really nice but pricey. I broke down and bought the Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner the last time I was at the salon. Usually I just get the finishing products and the awesome Aveda Tea. My stylist probably gets a nice commission because she starts selling me something, anything, 1/2 way through the shampoo without fail. She is relentless. Anyway, I'm a little sorry to admit that it's really good product because now I'm committed. My hair is smoother and my scalp feels healthier. I really tried not to like this stuff to avoid paying another $50 every time I go to the salon, but quite frankly it seems to do the job the bottle claims it does. It's definitely better than the typical store bought shampoo/conditioner. 4x better is of course debatable.

lkrysan says "Ingenious product at a ridiculously affordable price!" about Elf All Over Color Stick

lkrysan — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:51:32 GMT

My mom suggested this product to me (she RAVED about it), but when I went to purchase my own, I was skeptical due to the low, low price - all Elf cosmetics and tools are only $1.00. (The sign says 5 for $5.00, but don't be fooled. Whether you buy 1 product or 5, each is still only $1.00).

I purchased the Pink Lemonade shade, and was delighted when I tried it out the next day. It not only makes a fabulous, glossy lip color, but works as the PERFECT blush. The packaging is perfect, too. It comes housed in a short, fat tube that is great for throwing in the purse.

I plan on buying a few more - so I can have one in the car, purse, office, at home, etc.

lanae says "Great, but a couple drawbacks" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Foundation

lanae — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:45:46 GMT

I love the mineral makeups. However, if you have bad acne, it doesn't hide very well. But, if you are pretty well clear skinned, it is great. I love it because I never feel like I am wearing make-up and majority of the time no one else can tell either. I have learned, if you have drier skin, put on some lotion before putting on the make up. It helps it set to the skin better. The Bare Minerals make up lasts for quite a while and also is a fair price. I love it. I don't think I will ever go back to conventional make-up.

wildcatkatie says "Protects my skin & keeps it moisturized - great!" about Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream

wildcatkatie — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:01:00 GMT

I love Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream. Not only does it help keep my skin moisturized but it protects it from the sun too. It's a little bit more expensive than other brands at $15 per 4oz bottle but it is worth the cost. The bottle lasts a long time as long as you don't lather yourself in the lotion. You realy only need one or two pumps from the bottle every use.

I have noticed that some Aveeno products are a little oily and this one is no exception but it doesn't cause my skin to break out, so I am okay with that.

bajowa says "Wish all mirrors could be together in one place." about Standing Mirror

bajowa — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:17:40 GMT

I was looking for a standing mirror to give my daughter for her bathroom. The clerk referred me to the hair care department. I found several there. One was about $5 and one was $32. I put the $5 one in my basket (mobilized chair). It was small but I felt it would do. Later in the store I found another standing mirror. Much larger and much better. It was $14.99. I am so glad I had other shopping to do or I would never have found that $14.00 one. I wished they had been together. I'm sure that is not possible because of classification. Darn! Wish all items of the same kind could be together. But I know that is not possible. I need to remember to look all through the store before I finish my shopping adventure.
