Review: Litter Genie

I got to test out the Litter Genie, thanks to Crowdtap. When I first got it and put it together I was very skeptical of it working. But I was truly surprised.
For those of you who don't know what the Litter Genie is, it works a lot like a Diaper Genie. You have replacement bags you put into it and then when you scoop what your cats leave in the litter box out, you put it into the Litter Genie. Then you close it up and it pinches the bag shut.
It takes about thirty seconds to put your cats left overs into it. And is so much better than having to dump it into a plastic bag and take that to the garbage outside. I don't have to worry about it for many days!
I was so amazed that for a really long time it kept the stink in! I thought for sure when I opened the slot to put new cat left overs into it I would get a huge whiff of what is already in there, but you don't. It truly keeps the stink it.
I highly recommend this to ANY cat owners. This is a truly amazing invention and I am so glad I got to try this thanks to Crowdtap!
Thank you for reading, and have a great day!

Review: Creative Image Adore Hair color

I recently purchased two of these off Amazon.com. I got one bottle of the color Orange Blaze #39 and Violet Gem #114. Each bottle is 4FL oz. The product is a bit thicker than most hair colors, but a little bit goes a very long way.

Each bottle was purchased for $5.50 with free shipping from http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LP8QHO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The package directions are as follows:
1. Shampoo and towel dry hair.
2. Use protective cream around the hair line.
3. Apply hair color 1/8" from scalp and comb through.
4. Cover with plastic cap and process with  heat for up to 15 minutes.
5. Rinse and shampoo completely.

Personally, I did not follow these directions. I graduated from cosmetology school in 2006 and have never heard of shampooing before applying color or putting color on towel dried hair.
I washed my hair 24-48 hours before applying the color.
I applied it to dry hair.
I personally went right to the scalp but that is personal preference for each person as funky hair colors can/will stain the skin.
I wrapped mine in foil, as I didn't have a plastic cap.
I left it in for about 30 minutes, no heat. I then rinsed, shampooed, and conditioned.







These picture don't do this color justice, I'm sorry. I had no one to help me take pictures and these were the best shots I got.

The color has now been in my hair for about two weeks and it has just started to fade, mostly at the ends. That is amazing, as even Manic Panic starts to fade instantly.
This color gives great results. My hair was lightened to a dark neutral blonde before using this color. I ended up with true to swatch & product color. This product also makes your hair very soft.
It has a really nice scent to it. I would say the orange blaze has a nice fruity, citrus scent and the Violet Gem has a floral/fruity scent. But the scent isn't over powering, it's just a light pleasant scent.

I do suggest immediatly rinsing your tub/shower every time you wash your hair as it will stain the tub (as do most funky hair colors). If you do not remember to rinse it right away just use some CLR (or a like product), it will come right off.

On a 1-10 scale:
Scent: 10
Color holding/fading: 8
Value: 10
Coloring ability: 10

Overall I give this product a 9. Basically, the only thing that would make it a 10 is if it didn't fade so fast. I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a comment!
