I have tried several at-home whitening products. I refuse to spend the hundreds of dollars that dentists charge for whitening products. In the past, I have had good whitening results from Crest Whitestrips, however they have made my teeth very...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I recently purchased the Homedics bubble spa from drugstore.com after reading rave reviews of it over there. Bad decision.

I'm supposed to go without food for HOW long???

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 17:39:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - In retrospect, I don’t know what possessed me to buy a $25 bottle of juice. I just don’t know what I was thinking. I knew it was a bad idea, and boy was I right.

First a bit of background… I’m not overweight- I’m very active and fit, but I...

Proflowers.com: Proflowers- 2 strikes, you're out

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 19:44:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I have used Proflowers.com twice. At this point, I will not give them a third try. Bottom line is, they are just not a reliable flower delivery service.

First of all, I will admit that Proflowers does have cheap prices for flowers. They...

Estee Lauder Uncircle- a big waste of money!

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 15:33:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I have permanent undereye circles. I hate to call them that, but I'm just accepting the fact that that's what they are. I've had them as long as I can remember, and how much sleep I get, how much water I drink, etc. has nothing to do with it. They're...

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 20:12:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - First of all, let me start off by saying that I am a devoted fan of liquid eyeliner. I absolutely hate pencils- every single one I've tried. The Avon Hydra Finish Gel Eye Pencil is no exception.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann -

Krups Vivo- pretty good espresso for under $100

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 23:39:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I worked at a Starbucks one summer, so I am fairly picky about my espresso. I once bought a super-cheap espresso maker (paid about $30 at Kmart) and it was worthless- it was essentially a small coffee maker with a steam wand. So when I decided I wanted...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I have been driving a new Volvo S40 for about a month now. My #1 priority when buying a car is safety, which is why I chose a Volvo. Despite the fact that the S40 is the "cheap" Volvo, it is loaded with the safety features that Volvo is known...

St. Ives makes a great body scrub!

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 02:19:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann -

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 23:54:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann -

Soon after I got my digital camera a year ago, I started thinking it would be fun to have a photo printer. Usually I am pretty up-to-date on computer hardware prices, but the last time I bought a printer was my HP Deskjet 520 back in 1994. It's...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - I bought Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush mascara not too long ago after reading some positive reviews of it here on Epinions. I have yet to find what I consider to be the "perfect" mascara- so I figured if such a cheap, basic product was...

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 14:54:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - Update: A couple of people have corrected me on my comments about the voice-activated dialing. You can, in fact, activate it by holding down the * key until it prompts you. However, I am still not thrilled with the feature. First of all, you...

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 01:00:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash. What can I say? As the title says, I neither love it nor do I hate it. Frankly, I've never had such neutral feelings towards a skincare product.

What is it?

This is a facial wash that...

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 16:27:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - As every cat owner knows, it is a constant struggle to find a cat litter that:

1. Clumps well

2. Doesn't track all over

3. Eliminates odor

4. Doesn't require you to scoop the box

OK, the last one is just a dream of mine,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author katiemccann - About 2 years ago, I had the fortune to spend 3 months as a "backpacker" in Australia. My trip was definitely a budget trip- for the 3 months I was there, I spent less than $6,000, including my airfare from Los Angeles. I will share my...
