Ridiculous looking, hot, and easy to tear
348010
Unless you want to look like a beekeeper or you're a super hardcore outdoors person, just skip this purchase.

I'm one of those people who ALWAYS get bitten by mosquitos, so I purchased this for my trip to the Costa Rican rainforest.  On the upside, the waist and wrists are adjustable, so it can fit almost any size person. However, I tried this on at the hotel and decided not to wear it out after I saw how ridiculous I looked.  Yes, ridiculous enough for me to decide it was just better to take my chances with repellant spray, lotion, and bracelets.  Also, for a thin sheer garment, it was HOT!  It also didn't help that it's black and absorbs heat; I would have melted on our walk through the rainforest in July.  Finally, because the garment is made of mosquito netting, it seems pretty easy to tear, particularly if you're walking near tree branches and rocky hills.

I returned it.

Eureka!

Long had I been avoiding purchasing a "cat castle" (GROSS) because of their unstoppable tendency towards being the ugliest things ever built. Seriously. And look, I'm not some aesthetic snob. I find the high design cat trees equally as obnoxious, if only because they share a crucial misunderstanding with their disgustingly upholstered forebears.

Cats don't like that stuff. At least mine doesn't. But a cardboard box? You can't stop him. There's something textural about them that he just loves, so yeah, this cat condo makes a helluva lot of sense.

I also love the fact that they are modular. Let's me give my cat some vertical space (what with the dog biting his ankles). My one complaint is that there isn't one solid side. I know, I get it I get it, modular blah blah blah, crawl through the endless hole etc. etc. etc. but he's a big old boy! He can't lay comfortably on the top (as he is want to do) without an appendage or two drooping through the hole. I ended up having to cut a bigger piece of cardboard out to throw on top (taking some of their pleasing appearance away).

Oh yeah, by the way, they look ok! I'd go for brown, just because, you know, it's subtle, and who wants a fuschia cube in their living room (probably someone, not me).

Read enough reviews of ANY skincare product and you'll encounter a person who experienced an adverse reaction. So, tho this cream reeked absolute havoc on my eyes, take it with a grain of salt as this formula has a lot of fans--and interestingly enough, fans claiming to have sensitive eyes. I'm learning my eyes are just ridiculously sensitive: on the evening of the 3rd day of use, my eyes felt as they'd been doused with chili peppers and then set on actual fire. No good. No good indeed. This went beyond just a 'Ohh this stings a little and feels itchy' kind of sensation. Also, I don't wear contacts. I'd applied it lightly (and correctly) but alas, even up to my eyebrows it was a 4 alarm ordeal.

So, though I'm an occasional fan the Basescu line, do beware that the SECOND listed ingredient is a known irritant: Polyglycerylmethacrylate; used as a kind of film-forming agent, it's often downright unkind to truly sensitive eye suffers. I didn't thoroughly explore the ingredients prior to purchase but after my reaction, I hopped on my favorite makeup/skin care reviewing site and discovered I was hardly alone in the '3 days later' reaction. Add in the generous oil content and milia sufferers may wanna consider skipping it too.

It went on creamy, the formula can be worn under concealer, and I loved the price. (Though I'm not a huge fan of non-tube packaging). I hate preachy reviews so If it works for you, why shouldn't it be recommended? I just wish it had worked out, but as an unmitigated disaster, it's a 1-star formula for moi.

I didn't purchase this on Amazon but as I frequently consult Amazon for product reviews, this is just a heads up to fellow super sensitive-eye gals.

Right out of the package, they look manly. Just look at this thing, you got FIRE coming from the bottom of the pack because these things are HOT, HOT, HOT.

Sounds so warm and brutal when I play it on my $200 plywood guitar. You can put these on a tissue box and it'll sound like a $3000 Ibanez, trust me.

Like most acoustic guitars and strings, you can't really bend them as you would on an electric guitar and this is no exception because these strings are THICK.

All you chubby chasers out there are gonna be on a field day when you get these things because we're talking about a 2148 set here, folks.

Makes chords sound as if you have Jesus coming out of your guitar and he wants to jam with you.

Such color. Much scrape. 10/10 would recommend.

Not even a tiny bit hot. I wanted to hurt. I wanted these to be so hot that I would want to rip me esophagus out. Flaming Hot Cheetos are hotter than these. What a huge disappointment and waste of money. Trader Joes, girl get your act together. I'm not having any of it.

Unless you have a horrifically enormous mouth, this is a ridiculous product.

My kid was the talk of Mega Con this year and  mainly it was due to this face!
We had an absolute blast but I can tell you he was so hot he could not keep it on for long periods of time. I grabbed towels from the bathroom to wipe the sweat from the inside -

I will be finding ways to get better air circulation in here , but in the meantime - I can honestly say that this was the best costume he has ever come up with on his own and he looked fantastic!

I smiled when I bought these as they reminded me of the Fame Days, but they do look really cute.  However, my daughter was bothered by them and was pulling them off, I just think they were too hot for her.
Look nice though.

I bought this for my GF at the time. She's now left me. I just hope it is made out of really flammable material.
It did look really nice and the feel was soft. Perfect for the cat lover in your life who loves cats more than you.

BE WARNED:  This item is legitimately spicy. Even for experienced spicy food eaters.  The 5 minute challenge is bad, but not impossible. But the tortuous 10 minutes that follows you taking it out of your mouth is what makes this insane.  Normally, I can drink water to cool my mouth down. Water, milk, iced coffee, none of it worked. The pain was INTENSE. I was even slightly light-headed. Only when I realized that I had a pint a vanilla ice in the freezer did I find relief. But it still took about half the pint to get me to point where I felt like it was going to be alright.  I had to smear the ice cream all over my face and lips to quench that fire too. Even hours later, I can feel the spot on my chin where the lava-infused drool ran out of my mouth.  That being said, I highly recommend this product if you're into spicy challenges. It's definitely one of the toughest I've ever done, but also extremely fun in that weird kinda way.  Be warned though, have a towel handy cause you're gonna drool like a madman, and have some ice cream ready for the aftermath. Side Note: Toe of Satan actually tastes pretty good.

This "tear drop" holder is huge. Much bigger than on photo. So it is really grotesque. It's useable, but looks like hanging testicles from the front.

Ordered these to stick them around a mirror to create a sort of Hollywood vanity mirror look, but didn't realize you can't bend these around corners. In order to do this you need extensions that you must buy separately. I guess these would be cute as Christmas lights around the exterior or interior walls of a home, but not much else? They're VERY bright and get pretty hot (I'm not sure if this is normal, but it seems somewhat concerning.  Rolling them up again once you've unrolled them is a pain. The only way to turn them off is to unplug the adapter cord from the power outlet which is a hassle.

If you are going to purchase a pair of grill gloves, or gloves to handle hot stuff in the kitchen, then you really need to consider these by Grill Beast.  I have had several different versions of this glove from different companies and these ranks right up there at the top as to functionality, ease of use and effectiveness.

To begin with these are nice and roomy gloves and unlike several gloves of this ilk, actually protect not only the fingers and hand, but also up the wrist.  We have three different grills we use and the behavior of all three are different...you need wrist protection almost as much as hand and finger.  The gloves fit quite well; both my larger hands and my wife's smaller ones.  They are extremely flexible and despite the protection they are very adaptable to finer work.  They can and do provide a protection up to 662 degrees F, which is a far greater heat than the average person will ever need.

And my goodness these things are truly ugly!  They are so ugly they are actually sort of attractive in a strange sort of way.  Black with a sort of dark orange color, they are at the very least pretty creepy looking.  I love them.

I simply cannot see how you can go wrong with these things.

This is a gorgeous, really gorgeous red color. Ive gotten lots of compliments and lots of women wanting to know the brand and shade. I would give it 5 stars but I cant because this is my 3rd tube Im on now and each one has gotten super soft and made a huge mess.
This is my only lipstick that does this.
And its a shame because its my favorite color.
The plastic tube cover always ends up cracking simply from putting the lipstick back inside.
Please make a better package for this, it definitely deserves it.

It's so hot inside the mask. You can barely see through it, and the mask isn't steady. Some parts are flabby so it looks like a retarded dalmatian sometimes.
