The Best Hair and Lint Remover Ever! Review of the Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush

The Best Hair/Lint Removal Brush to Date!!!!
-My post also on AC

Every morning I consistently have a battle with my clothing. Not that they are too tight, or fit uncomfortably; the battle I endure every morning is the battle of de-furring myself.

You see we have a lot of pets, and pets have fur, and fur sheds eventually making a landing spot on my clothing, especially my black clothing! Every morning I used to pat myself down with some water, and rub away the fur. This method works great in the summer, but with cold winter months closing in, patting water onto myself is not a dashing idea if I plan on keeping myself flu free in flu season.

I have tried all types of other methods such as hair rollers, which also work fantastically, but having to buy new rollers every month became an annoying task, and pulling one out at work is sort of embarrassing.

Last weekend though I came across the mother of all hair/lint removers. I found this sweet gem lined up on the checkout racks at a local Walmart; labeled as Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush.

Initially I was going to skip out on buying it, but thanks to the open window packaging, I was able to test it out on my clothing right there on line. I was amazed out how the rubber hand held lint brush slickly stuck to my clothes while gobbling up all traces of lint, and loose hairs on my jacket.

The Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush was by far the oddest hair removal tool I have ever touched, with a very rubbery grip to it, and wiggly rubber fingers that when brushed across clothing will grab hold of hair and lint without missing a single strand of imperfections.

After getting to my car, the Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush was the first thing I went for in my bag. I opened the package and slid the brush across my entire jacket. The results were nothing short of surprising! My entire jacket looked brand spanking new. Not a trace of lint, not a strand of hair. Frankly I could not have been happier.

The Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush saves me time, aggravation, and frustration every morning. It is small enough to fit in my purse for touch-ups throughout the day, and I love it!

If you have pets you can also run the Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush across their coats. It will snatch up loose shedding hair with ease. It's quite a diverse little brush, as you can also touch up furniture in the home.

Overall:

If you have pets, or if you have issues with lint, you will find that the Evriholder Rubber Lint Brush is your best solution. I couldn't recommend this brush more.

Review of New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths

-My post also on AC

I have always been fond of cleansing cloths that are capable of removing makeup from my face. I used to use makeup removals that would come in bottles, however I always found them to be messy, and they'd cause break outs, especially the oil based makeup removers! Gag my skin!

I began using cleansing cloths because I found them to be cheaper, work better, and they were not as messy as tipping a bottle of liquid over tissue paper. More recently though, cleansing cloths have become even better, due to the added extra benefits. Not only will they remove makeup, but they will also improve your skin. Olay in particular is well known for going that extra mile when it comes to skin care.

When I came across their newest wet cleansing cloth with the added benefit of reducing fine lines on my face, I knew I had to try it. Besides ridding my face of makeup, and hard to remove eye makeup like mascara and eyeliner, Olay went and added an anti wrinkle serum which is infused within the cloth!

Although I'm pretty wrinkle free, keeping my skin wrinkle free is a must; especially at my age, when wrinkles are bound to pop up in due time. Keeping them away is my goal, and so far its been an easy task thanks to all of the wonderful products available to me.

Olays new Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths is one of them!

These wet cleansing cloths come in a pack of 30 for about $7.00. Its a bit pricey for just a months supply, but I was willing to spend the extra loot to see if they were worth it, and to see if they would work as promised.

My Use:

The New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths have a soft quilt like texture to them, which are not at all abrasive to the skin, nor do they leave behind and greasy or sticky residue. They have no scent whatsoever, and I was pleasantly surprised that it removed all traces of my eyeliner and mascara without barely having to try.

The New Olay, Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle, Wet Cleansing Cloths worked, and it worked well. I really liked how it left my skin feeling soft and pampered after using it.

The only complaint I have is that I wish the cloths were saturated in the formula a little more. The cloths have a slight dry feeling, but thankfully the cloths themselves are very soft, so it does not feel dry on the skin.

Overall:

While it cleans my skin free of every trace of makeup, I am happy knowing it is also helping protect my skin against wrinkles, and reducing fine lines. It's a win/win in my opinion.

Review of Umberto Beverly Hills, Super Hold Hairspray

After returning a horrid little hairspray by Garnier, I picked up one of my favorite brand of hair care, Umberto Beverly Hills.

I had never noticed before that besides just shampoos and conditioners, Umberto Beverly Hills also had a small line of hairspray, one in regular hold, and another in super hold.

Seeing that the line rarely fails me, I went ahead and chose their super hold hairspray. Regular hold hairsprays never do much for me as I have extremely thick wavy hair. Super Hold sprays are basically the only sprays that will work as far as maintaining my styles hold all day long.

The spray itself comes in a tall stand up aluminum can with 10.6 ounces of spray. With daily use the spray will last me about 2 months which is not bad considering it only cost me $8.99 which is mid-range priced hairspray.

Right now Target.com is selling this spray in 2 packs for the same price, so I highly recommend you take up that offer, and here is why:

First and foremost Umberto Beverly Hills Strong Hold Hairspray will really hold your hair, and it will hold your style all day long without any signs of weakening.

Secondly the hairspray does not leave behind white flakes. I have used so many hairsprays that promise to not flake, and they end up flaking. Umberto's brand does not promise it, it just does it.

The hairspray itself does not have a scent that it leaves behind, which sort of stinks because if you have ever smelled their moisturizing shampoo, you would probably be wishing the hairspray had that angelic scent. Only it doesn't.

What Umberto Super Hold Hairspray does though is keep your hair in place, without flakes, and without budging.

Your hair will remains slightly soft, with only a tad bit of stiffness. However I find that when hairspray leaves a bit of stiffness behind it keeps hold the longest, and the strongest, so I do not mind the stiffness at all.

Those of us with thick hair know that stiffness left behind from hairsprays is not a bad thing. If you have thinner hair though, you may not like this one. I can only speak for those women with thick unruly wavy hair. Umberto will press down the frizz, and hold your style in place.

Although the hair will feel slightly stiff, it will not look stiff at all, so there is balance, and what you have left is beautiful hair that will stay beautiful throughout the day.

I highly recommend this one ladies. You will not be disappointed.

Review of New Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition

-My Review also on AC

Recently I came across a new collection of products from Garnier Fructis. In the winter months my hair seems to become more dry than usual so I wanted to begin to prepare it early on for the freezing cold weather that seems to dry my hair out like nobody's business.

Their new collection of products is called Triple Nutrition, and when you are out in stores this week, I recommend you pick up their
3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition.

The dryness reversal treatment comes in a standard green, stand up, squeeze tube, and will be easily located in the hair care section of local stores. You can find it amongst the crowd of other Garnier Fructis products, so spotting it should not be a problem.

The promise is to not only moisturize hair, but to keep hair as healthy as possible using the formulas fruit oils to nourish the hair. The treatment is supposed to be added to hair after shampooing for 3 minutes.

Scent:

In the store I popped the top, and inhaled the scent. Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition smelled fantastic, like a beautiful fruity fragrance that reminded me a lot of one of Britney Spears' perfumes.

My Use:

After shampooing I squeezed a decent amount of the treatment out into my palm. I noticed immediately that this treatment had some sort of micro-beads within it. As I rubbed the treatment into my hair the micro-beads began to melt, and were no longer detected.

I liked it a lot though, because if you rub it in your scalp you feel a slight exfoliation which will stimulate the hair follicle.

I let the treatment sit in for a full 3 minutes and began to rinse it out. Immediately as I began to rinse I could feel the change in the shower. My hair felt like buttery silk. There were no snarls or knots.

I had a good feeling before even getting out to dry my hair, that the treatment worked some sort of magic, and I had a hunch that I was going to like the results.

Sure enough I did. When my hair was fully dry (I allow my hair to air dry), there was way less frizz, and no notes of dryness whatsoever. My hair was left shiny, knot free, dabbed with a beautiful sweet fruity scent, and looking and feeling fantastic.

Review Newton's New Fruit Crisps

Are Newton's New Fruit Crisps Snacks Worth Trying?

-My review also on AC

Fig Newton's have been one of my favorite snacks for years. Since childhood I truly couldn't get enough of them. A delicious moist bite, with a gooey filling that no other snack cookie could replicate, Fig Newton's are delicious.

While doing my regular weekly routine shopping this week I came across something by Newton's that I had never seen before. In fact, I never saw anything by Newtons that was not a fig newton bar. To see a brand spanking new snack by the company was thrilling, and also unique.

They are called Newton's Fruit Crisps, and I had the option to buy them in an apple cinnamon flavor, or a Mixed Berry flavor. I'm an apple lover, so naturally I went with Apple Cinnamon.

The box comes with16 individually wrapped bars, and clearly the yellow color of the package matched up well to what one would expect from Newton's. On the package itself we get a sample of what we can expect from the Fruit Crisp's.

They are much flatter than regular fig newtons, and a large chunk of what appears to be ooey, gooey, apple cinnamon goodness is clearly seen inside of the bar. They looked good, but were pretty expensive at nearly $5.00 a box.

At home opening the box, and removing one of the bars I was surprised at how flat they really were. On the box they looked a bit thicker than what you really get, and each package contains 2 of the fruit crisps.

The outer shell of the crisps was exactly as one would expect. It tastes like a fig newton shell, only flattened and toasted. The inside had a very delicious apple cinnamon flavoring, but the filling definitely was not as thick as the box likes leads you to believe.

After munching on the apple cinnamon crisps though, I must say I was not disappointed. They tasted really good, with a perfect infusion of cinnamon and apples, with a sweet freshly baked pie zing to it. If anything I was surprised that such a bland looking bar packed so much realistic apple pie flavoring.

Most of all though, I didn't have to feel guilty about chewing down both of the bars. They are low in fat, and pack the same flavorful punch that one of those delicious mini apple pie snacks do by Hostess.

Overall:

I recommend them, Newton's Fruit Crisps in Apple Cinnamon are delicious; I do however wish that the price was lowered as I find the introductory price to be way over the top for what you are getting.
