The Ordinary Review

Whenever I run out of toothpaste, my instinct in buying a new tube of toothpaste is to choose the weirdest, wackiest, and tackiest one available.

Which is why I bought Crest Rejuvenating Effects toothpaste.

This toothpaste has a different taste from typical toothpaste, but it retains enough of the familiar taste of typical toothpaste that you feel comfortable using it.

If there’s a fine line between adventure in new products and boredom in traditional ones, this toothpaste is on the adventure side, though just barely. It seems adventurous at first, but after using it several times, it’s almost boring. The key word here is “almost”.

A few years ago, my aunt brought me a gift from the Philippines: Beauty Host Papaya Deep Whitening & Glowing Skin Cream.

It is a fabulous cosmetic product in the world, despite its political incorrectness. It’s a cream that you rub on your skin to peel the dead skin cells, making your skin whiter and brighter.

Some text from the box, word for word:

• “Clean out Horniness Whitening”
• “One Minutes Dispel Horniness”
• “Special result”
• “Naturainess Particularity Coruscate Gloss”
• “Extracting pawpaw essence with ultralow temperature extractingtechnique, added with natural active oxygen whitening essense and grape seed O.P.C, going deep into skin to remove aged epidermal sells, inhibit the transfer of melanin to epidermal cells and promote the cell renewal, lessening the incidence of skin color spot and blemishes, leaving skin white, immaculate and instantly revitalized!”

The company that makes Beauty Host is called “Elov Cosmetics Co., Ltd.” Their logo includes the text “Beautiful Life” … “Perfece Career”. If I get a chance, I will post pictures.

I give this cream an excellent review. It works very well, and it is fun to use. I make no guarantees about its safety, however.

Oh, my goodness. Puffs Plus with Lotion are the best tissues on the face of the earth. I wish I had better words to express the divinity of this brand of tissues.

My love for tissues with lotion began in childhood. Embarrassed by the soreness of my nose, I demanded that my parents buy me tissues with lotion. I had been using ordinary toilet paper, which was damaging both to the heart and to the soul. Sympathetically, my parents agreed to purchase a box of Kleenex tissues with lotion.

At the time, Kleenex was the dominant brand of tissues. It still dominates, but I have found it to be overrated. Puffs Plus Tissues with Lotion are of much higher quality, due to their additional softness and their generous dose of lotion. Puffs offers a much more generous dose of lotion than Kleenex, by a lotion mudslide. The folks at Kleenex are much more stingy with their lotion.

I never have to think twice when purchasing Puffs tissues. Regardless of the price, Puffs Plus with Lotion tissues are far superior to Kleenex Cold Care tissues, or whatever you call those lousy Kleenex tissues.
