Do you read the labels of the products you're curious about? How about if the product proudly displayed an award from a glamor/beauty magazine like allure? Well, if you're like me this is very unimpressive, I mean we all can make words say what we want, right? So when I read on the label on a bottle of Biore's acne wash that this particular product had editors choice award from allure magazine for 2009, I wasn't sure what to make of it. So I bought the product.
Okay, long story short, I've suffered with acne since I was ten years old and I was never able to find a product on the market that worked for me; nope, not even Proactive worked for me. So to test Biore's product I spent the $6 for it and washed my face that night. In the morning it was definitely clearer! I couldn't believe it! Most of my acne that I suffered with since the early 1990's was virtually gone! The fragrance and cooling affect is a real stress reliever, so it was a must for me at night. It doesn't over dry your skin but you do feel a noticeable sense of 'clean'.
This product is the real deal if you have skin that will tolerate and very receptive to it. It worked for me and my skin type and I will continue to buy this particular product for as long as they make it. It's worth to give it a try, if you're not happy with it you can always send it or take it back.

Product Review--Citrus Magic(c) fabric and air odor eliminatior
Okay, now for an air freshener/odor eliminator. We see these on the market but not quite sure how well they work. Even if the product is not all what it's cracked up to be after purchase, you are covered by the stores policy of returns, so I would highly recommend taking the store up on that offer. I know from experience that some stores are sticklers when it comes to product returns, but nevertheless, you should take the product back to the store, or send it back the the company if you are totally satisfied with the product. If you read the labels of many products out there they may have a money back guarantee if you are 100% satisfied with the products. Still, if reading product reviews make the shopping easier and hassle free, than by all means keep reading these; I'm sure you'll find loads of inspiration in the paragraphs below.
I have three, no wait, two cats? Or is it six? I had one cat but now in 2012 I ended up taking care of six, one is a neighbor's cat who made his home at mine. So I needed an air freshener that made me forget I even had animals in or about the house. I saw Citrus Magic(c) products in the pet aisle of my local store and read the label, then at the price. It's not to bad starting at $4.88 to $6. But is it worth that much for an air freshener you may not use all the time or, like me, all the time? It's a great product and the fresh orange/lemon fragrance is concentrated so it lasts for a few hours after spraying. I like the product and will continue to buy it for as long as they make it. This product was made for those really tough odors like pets. This product isn't like those by Glade(c) or Fabreze(c), even though they are good products, well some of them are, but Citrus Magic(c) is by far the best if you are trying to freshen a room from baby or pets. It's well looking into if you have those type of tough orders and need immediate nose relief. You can find it at any store online or off, or you can visit them at www.citrusmagic.com The company even makes odor eliminating solids, which I'm going to be trying within the next month, so look for that in my February blog product reviews. Other products that Citrus Magic(c) makes (including sprays in different fragrances) are also available on their web site www.citrusmagic.com

Product Review--Sakar International, Inc.'s digital camera.
You may have seen these at Wal-Mart or other stores like it, but if you haven't, don't worry about it. The bottom line of this camera by Sakar International Inc. digital camera is--IT STINKS! The POOREST quality of all starter cameras out there, and I'm not even sure if this camera was meant to be a starter? Paying $20.00 for something this poor of quality isn't the best game on the field and I suggest not to ever buy this product if you should come across it. I'll give more detail on product and model no. at the end of the review.
What makes this product so CRAPPY? Well, I'll tell
ya! It's flimsy, takes horrible pictures and eats batteries like mad. So if you
are someone who likes thin plastic cameras, bad blurry, out of focused pictures
that don't turn out, and can buy batteries or use re-chargable batteries then
this is your camera. But me and many others out there, we take pictures to
remember a place we enjoyed visiting or to have a great visual memory for those
scrap books. Isn't that why many of us take pictures? To remember something
that is of value to us? If you answered yes to those questions than a better
camera for about the same price of this crappy thing, is the Emerson HD 720p
camcorder. The Emerson does not just only take pictures but it take video
as well, is great on batter power so it is ideal for travel and the with use of
a memory card you're in business. But the Sakar camera I won't even give to a
photography student! Plus, digital amongst many of the students and photo
artists is the enemy, but if it's all you got or can afford and not really
going to be doing photography for business than any digital camera would be
good, as long as it has the features you're looking for and/ or the quality
you're looking for in how it takes pictures and the other nine yards.
Even though it does come a vague owner's manual and
transfer cable, this product is not worth your money or time, but that decision
is still yours for it may differ from mine.

Product Review--Anti-Fog Spray.
Yes, you read that right, Anti-Fog Spray. I had a question mark over my head when I seen this on the shelf of my local dollar store. If you haven't seen this product, start looking for it. It is a solution that is sprayed on any surface you have problems with foggy condensation, otherwise known as 'steaming', such as car windshield, bathroom mirror after a hot shower, your glasses or any other surface that is either glass or strong plastic that you may need to see out of or into.
It works fab! I like this product and I have to say for paying a buck for it, it's well worth it. It works to keep the surfaces from collecting foggy condensation. You spray it on, wait about 5 mins. or more depending on what the surface is and what the temp of it is. It may take longer to dry on cold surfaces than warm or hot ones. Be careful not to breath the solution in and use in a highly ventilated area.
After the sprayed solution dries, take a soft cloth or paper towel and buff and polish the surface. It's sort of like waxing the surface so it doesn't fog up when you need to see out or into that surface. Even though I bought it at a dollar store, I am most impressed with this and would recommend it to anyone. As always read directions on the package. It's a dollar tree brand product so no other name or company resides on the label. If you have a local dollar tree in your town or you like to shop online, try finding this product there. If you go to the brick and mortar store, which means to go to the store in person, look for it in the automotive aisle, if you are looking for it online, type in the search box Anti Fog Spray and you should come up with it. It's only a dollar so it's worth a try and should work great as long as you follow company directions, since it is their product and they are the ones who 'some'what know how their product works. So you really don't have much to lose, but still, every person differs in opinions but you'll never know what this product can offer until you try it for yourself.

Emerson HD 720p Camcorder
What can I say? This happens to be one of the best small camcorders the family has bought yet, especially my mom. Yes, it's hers, but I just like to use it with all my play time recording. Can you blame me? Anyone who has one may tell you, in their own opinion that may differ from mine, that it is a nifty little thing to keep about your person. And all around great product. It's compact to slip in a pocket or bag, yet it's large enough to still be able to use without the magnifying glass. We've seen some of these devices, haven't we? You know the ones made particularly for Polly Pocket? Yeah, this isn't one of them, yet it is still conveniently compact to travel with. The battery life is excellent. One charge can get me about a week and a half record time, depending how much I use it within that week and for how long. The 2.0 inch color screen is a great feature to have on any recorder/camera. Yet, the only draw back so far to this camera is, if you do not have the right amount of light, the camera will pick up your setting with a very 'red' color, making it look like you are shooting in a red room for developing film than in a, let's say, living room.
The features are awesome such as the pop up USB port from the top. This is so you are able to plug the camera in to your computer if you are not using a memory card. The hard memory, that is, the memory already programed to the device itself, is completely limited. You are lucky to get three pictures and a half a movie, still not bad. So I advise to start shooting with a memory card. Many of them are really cheap nowadays and can be found online or in brick and mortar stores like Wal-Mart. With a slid of the slider button on the side of the camera the USB port pops up and you are ready to start downloading, as long as you have downloaded the software to your PC. With a power button on the other side, an AV port along with HDMI, so you can plug the device to your T.V., are all in view and easy to find. A nice large slot for standard 4 to 8 GB memory cards brings the usage of this camera to convenience; there is nothing you won't be able to do with this camera. My favorite feature is the LED light on the front of the face near the lens. It is a great feature to have when you are taking pictures or shooting close up or in small areas, and it works great at night too. But you'll never be able to shoot a whole professional major motion picture with this thing, unless, you are a great pioneer of film and cinematography, then who knows. With a bottom port for a tripod you are all set to get out there and start living your life in pictures and video. All the function buttons are on the back with the screen, and the buttons have a few multiple functions still easy to understand and use. Comes with charging cable, battery and understandable usage/owner's manual to get you up and running with your new toy, uh, I mean, camera in no time.
It is light weight yet heavy duty enough to withstand minor drops and hold up to all the traveling you may want to do with this camera. They come in a few selections of colors from black and white to blue, pink and even purple, we have purple.
So enjoy your camera and live life alive.

UPDATE: After I noticed a few views on this post, I got the idea that instead of just showing you one pic of the camera itself, why don't I show you a few pictures I took with this camera? That way you get a getter feel of the product and see for yourself what it can do. I will also post a video too. Sorry, all pictures that are not to personal enough for me to post is of one of my five cats, Cali. But you all are suppose to be looking for quality of the video and picture taking, so don't let the cat get in your way. LOL! The photos below are of that cat I was talking about earlier; this is how the camera takes pictures in good lit areas. And yes, I was messing with the zoom on a pic or two. (Unfortunately, I was not able to post the videos. They are AVI files and blogger's server rejected them.)
The next picture was taken in poor lighting (indoor). This is the reddened quality that happens I was talking about earlier also. This is George, one of five cats, and he is very tired, but the quality of the pic is to be desired, yet still not bad.
Perfume: Jordache--Hello Kitty.
Recently, I was shopping my local dollar store, not bad for a small port city that has two dollar stores, but okay. . .anyway, I was shopping with my mother and she noticed the store placed a large selection of their perfumes near the front door. While I was getting a kart (cough), my usual routine whilst we are shopping, she was browsing through the fragrances. I don't know what is was she was smelling, spraying or considering, for she bought several bottles. I noticed they had a Jordache 'smell alike' of Hello Kitty by Hello Kitty. (Okay, to say the least, I am a bit confused on the 'who' of this product. On the Jorache bottle the label says Hello Kitty by Hello Kitty. But when I searched the Internet I come up with Hello kitty perfumes from Sanrio co., Demeter and Koto parfumes. So I need to get more educated on the 'who' of this fragrance.)
I remember smelling this particular fragrance while was shopping at a Clair's boutique in our local mall, and I really, really liked the fragrance. So, to put my mind at rest I took the cap off and gave it one really good sniff. And for being a dollar I bought a bottle. Yet I also smelled another version of Hello Kitty at Target that was not the same as this. On the box by Jordache their disclaimer is they are not connected in anyway to Sanrio and does not use the same smell, more on that later.
This particular perfume is sort of like an old fragrance I use to wear in the day, okay, you got me, I'll translate for you ("in the day"=late 1980's early 1990's). Electric youth by Debbie Gibson is a lot like Jordache's Hello Kitty in my opinion; only, Hello Kitty has more of a subtle 'in your face' bold, musky high tone with a very spicy under tone. What I mean by "subtle 'in your face' bold, musky high tone" is, it's a bold smell that is definitely noticeable yet it's not so bold, or in your face you want to open all the windows gasping for air. It makes a powerful statement without suffocating you. Electric youth was a fragrance with soft powdery under tones with crisp, clean, spicy high tones. The high and under tones of Hello Kitty and Electric youth are about the same with a similar fragrant quality, yet one is more musky than the other, still either way, I like both of them and will be looking for another bottle of Hello Kitty soon. Hello Kitty is still available on the market being launched some time in the late 2000's around 2008 or 2009. Electric youth is something that has been long gone and vanished from the market launching round 1988. It was made by Revlon, so if you look hard and long enough for it you'll find bottles new and used starting at $19.99 to $1, 500+ per bottle, depending if you buy Electric youth from a private deal or a commercial one. A great place to find Hello Kitty is online, although, I have not found the Jordache version online; Still, you may like to still check stores at your local mall. In our mall (Birchwood mall) we can find this perfume at Clair's boutique starting at $18.00. If you want to look up this fragrance under the name and term 'tester' you may get a standard bottle for as little as $11.00. Some perfume websites have listed this fragrance as little as $10.00. It just depends on how much you want this fragrance and how much money you're willing to pay for it. Since I do enjoy this fragrance, I'd pay the $18 to $35.00 for it. And that's not saying the most of it, they have multiple versions of this fragrance from Hello kitty to Hello kitty, Noir.
I know this Jordache version I have is not the same fragrance I smelled while I was at Target. That fragrance was sweet, lemony and crisp. It made you feel clean, fresh and sweet, while the version I have from Jordache is bold making you feel courageous and confident.
Whatever, or wherever, your fragrant statement is on whatever day of the week, you can be sure Hello Kitty by Jordache is going to be bold.

Web Product Review, products from A-Z.
Hi, and thanks for checking out my blog of product reviews. I'm like almost everyone, when they think of shopping or gift giving they want to know more about the product. Common questions arise such as is this a good product? Is it worth the money? Will it break after one or ten uses? Is there anyone out there who actually owns this? What would they say about it? So when it came to using products in my own home, I looked about me and seen what I had not realized before; I had more than a wealth of products in my own home that I could help out and give a review for. WOW! I searched many hours online for blogs and forums that had anything to do with the product in question, because I had many of questions, not going anywhere. To say the least, I had more questions at the end of my search than I did before. Oh, yes. Doubt in its pure form is a horrible confusing matter. But not only do I have many if not hundreds to thousands of products in my home to review, but I am on the Internet every-single-day! So not to throw in a few websites I've visited or frequent would be a shame in deed. It seems to the be the way of the world today--Internet.
Instead of surfing around the internet looking for forums or blogs about particular products, just to find out once you get there it's a bunch of people putting each other down for their personal opinions, talking about stuff that has no link or relevance to your search of the product, or there's no review or listing of the product at all, only a page description and the writer forgot to come back to the call of duty. Wouldn't it be easier just to find out about a certain product or give your own feedback to it on one blog? Well this could just be it. I'm not only going to be looking about for products to use or review, but I'd like to know what you would like me to feature on this blog as far as product review.
If you're an advertiser, you can email me to see about having your ads featured on this blog. You never know I may even be interested in your ad enough to give it my own personal review, and depending on the review, may actually buy it. : )
So for now, let this blog be the center of your curiosity and let me give you the "one up" on a particular product. And you can be sure that I will list many products you may never heard about just to peak your interest enough you may like to try this product out for yourself. This blog should be used as a guide to your next shopping spree and not the holy book of product's quality. You should also do much of your own research on a particular product before you buy, and that's only common sense I'm sure. And it goes to show, you found this blog. I will be reviewing almost every product out there, and it doesn't matter if you can find it on a Wal-Mart shelf or at your local McDonald you can be sure I'll review it, sooner or later. Heck, if I know me, and I like to think I do, I'll even review the store or restaurant itself. So to help make the world more of a safe, savvy network of browsing minds I'll do my best to review countless websites as well, just for your information, of course. So I'm going to be doing reviews on almost everything regardless if its a tangible product like a hair dryer, cosmetic or magazine; a website like Blogger.com, Facebook.com, CNN.com or K-Mart/Sears so be sure to check back here often for updates to what I've reviewed.
So in the pages [blog posts] that follow, let my words inspire you and let my knowledge guide you to your next favorite food, perfume, pet toy, or eletronic. Keep an open mind and a careful eye on what is out there that may end up your next addition to your home, gift basket or bookshelf. Now, let the reviews begin.
