Review: Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion

I believe strongly in the benefits of regular exfoliation to encourage cell renewal for a better, glowing complexion.  Therefore, when iFabbo emailed about Dr. Brandt’s PoreDermabrasion, I thought why not see how this $58 pore perfecting exfoliator worked for this #iFabboMember.

According to the package, this product deeply cleans and refines the appearance of pores as it smooths skin texture through professional grade micro crystals and chemical exfoliator.

I followed the directions by damping my face first before applying a small amount of the Dr. Brandt #PoreDermabrasion.  I gently massaged the product on my face and away from my eyes for the recommended minute. Then, I gave it about two minutes as the box specified to activate the product’s ingredients before finally rinsing.

With my dry complexion, Dr. Brandt’s PoreDermabrasion left my skin feeling tight.  I did not experience redness or irritation, but I felt uncomfortable. Perhaps, those with normal to oily complexions would feel differently, but this is not a product for me.  

However, if Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion sounds like something that could benefit your complexion, this product ships free so use this link and share.  You can also earn X2 loyalty points with that purchase.  In fact, if you share with friends and they return to dr.brandskincare.com, you can both save up to $10 on your next purchase when you click here.

Review: Christie Brinkley’s Close Up Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment Does It Really Work Or Not?

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Is Christie Brinkley's Close Up Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment  up to the wrinkle diminishing challenge or not?

I knew former superstar model, Christie Brinkley was making wigs, but I did not know she was also getting into beauty products until iFabbo emailed about this product.  Looking at her still gorgeous face at 61, you wonder if she has, indeed, discovered the foundation of youth. Could it be that her new beauty product is her secret?  This was all I needed to want to test it out.

Close Up Instant Wrinkle Reducer and Treatment is intended to tighten and smooth problem areas that have lines or fine creases.  It is also supposed to help with under eye bags and puffiness in the process with a formula treatment complex that combines four bioactive ingredients along with UVA/UVB and Infra-Red protection.  All those things to help with aging sound good to me.

I followed the directions exactly and applied the product after moisturizing, using a circular motion before gently patting the cream in the lines.  After the product dried, I stroked on my foundation and the rest of my makeup.

I don’t have a lot of wrinkles, but I do have laugh lines, a few less significant ones on my forehead and some fine creasing near my eyes.  In my case, this product did not do much for those deeper laugh lines to impress me overall to want to rush out and buy it for $79.95.  Do not misunderstand me.  I am not saying that it did not work; it just did seem to help more with the fine creases instead.   Therefore, if you have fine creases and want to temporarily get rid of them for a few hours, then I suggest to give this product a try.

Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and Wipes to #DoubleCleanse! (Review)

Disclaimer: This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes and PreCleanse Oil.jpeg
Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes and PreCleanse Oil


I have used Dermalogica skin care products before, but this was a first for experimenting with their PreCleanse Oil and Wipes for a deep, thorough removal of  makeup, including the stubborn waterproof variety and sunscreen.  I got the chance as a member of iFabbo to test it and share what I thought.

I did grab the PreCleanse Wipes first.  They are pre-moistened but somewhat drier than some other makeup wipes that I used in the past. However,  when I took this wipe to my drier, but made-up face, I discovered it melted away the cosmetics and waterproof mascara easily enough.  All that was left for me to do was to pump some of my regular cleanser and rinse.  

With the PreCleanse Oil, I just poured a little in the palm of my dry hands and rubbed over the makeup still on my face, including the eye area since I was wearing waterproof mascara.  I let the product sit for about a minute before wetting my hands, which turns this light oil into a milky cream.  To finish, I pumped out some of my water-rinsing makeup cleanser.  Since I did not see any sign of my remaining waterproof mascara this time as well,  I did skip the waterproof makeup remover.

Normally, I use a water-rinsing makeup cleanser, waterproof eye makeup remover before finishing with soap and water.  In colder months, I do use an oil-based cleanser and tissue it instead of the water-rinsing variety before washing with soap and water.  My last step to remove all last possible traces of makeup and product left behind has been with a cotton ball moistened with a toner.

This double-cleanse route for makeup removal with these products did leave the skin feeling extra soft and pampered, but as far as how much cleaner is hard to judge.  The only way that you will know for sure is to try Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and Wipes on your complexion and compare their performance.

Monat’s Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Monat's Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive


The holiday season is when you can’t take chances with your hair with all the functions you will be invited to. After all, you are a popular lady that needs great hair with riveting shine when you make your grand entrance.  Therefore, I know you will be interested in hearing about the latest product that iFabbo provided for this review with Monat’s Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive.

My first assumption was that Monat’s Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive was a deep conditioner to repair hair damage and bring out the shine with its rare oils like Abyssinian oil among ten other oils, Omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants.  However, I also learned that its exclusive formula is an intensive treatment to stimulate hair growth besides also serving as an anti-aging skin oil.

Now I don’t know how much it helps hair to grow because I just started using this oil on my hair, but what I can tell you are a few drops of this luxurious oil really does make hair shimmer and shine like nobody’s business.

I didn’t experiment with this oil on my face because I am currently testing another anti-aging product. But, with how well this product brought out the blinding shine, not continuing to use it on my hair seems like a crime!

True, the $99 price of this product is a bit steep.  Then again, so is the brilliant shine that comes with Monat’s Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive.  You can find it at Monat's website.

Beautiful, soft hands can never go out of style.  When you are shopping for a new hand cream because your current brand isn’t doing as much for you as it should, I think you would like Perlier’s Shea Butter White Lily Hand Cream that I was sent to review from iFabbo.

This hand cream has 100% organic shea butter and white lily extracts.  The product comes out fairly thick with a lovely floral fragrance that perfumes as it treats the skin.  It does absorb easily enough into the hands and leaves skin silky, not greasy.

The formula is advertised to help improve the elasticity and firmness of hands.  Yet, I have seen skin sag skin elsewhere on a body but don’t recall witnessing that particular issue when it comes to hands.  All I can say is it did right by my hands for the way it relieved dry skin and made them velvety and pretty again.  

Buy #PerlierOnHSN.  In fact, watch Perlier on HSN on July 24 and 25 because for some special package deals featuring this hand cream that you don’t want to miss out on!

Perlier Royal Elixir Facial Serum Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Perlier Royal Elixir Facial Serum
Perlier's Royal Elixir Facial Serum


I fell quite in love with Perlier’s Royal Elixir Facial Serum that I got to review from  iFabbo. Instead of being some heavy, souped-up anti-aging product, this one possessed the moisturizing richness my dry skin craved without weighing it down. 

This anti-aging serum feeds the skin with nutrient-rich royal jelly from African bees to boost collagen production.  It also has plenty of anti-oxidative properties to further enrich it along with pure rose distillate in place of water, which is common in many products.

The first time I used this product, it smoothed my complexion with a luxurious moisture veil quenching the dryness and left my skin feeling very soft. Over the past two weeks of continual experimentation, I witnessed my overall complexion blooming more after every application.

You can buy #PerlierOnHSN.  The 50 ml retails for $99.  Do look into trying Royal Elixir Facial Serum for yourself or give it to Mom for Mother’s Day because it would make a great gift!

Rev Up Your Look With New Makeup Brushes--#CrownBrush HD Set (Review)

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

Crown Brush 6-Piece HD Cosmetic Brush Set


It is my opinion that a woman can never have enough makeup brushes to keep herself looking good.  Therefore, when I had the chance to review the #CrownBrush  6-Piece HD Cosmetic Brush Set from iFabbo, I signed up to see how they would be.

My set came in a white vinyl zippered case that folded neatly for traveling or packing in your handbag.  Inside, there was a mirror, which was handy for seeing your work and a pair of tweezers besides the six brushes.  The brushes included were: Tapered Blush Brush, Pro Powder Brush, Deluxe Contour Brush, Crease Blender Brush, Chisel Shadow Brush, and a Detail Liner Brush.

These brushes were soft and constructed of high grade synthetic fibers.  If you are watching your budget, this is quite a great set to pick up for $27.95.  Although these aren't the plushiest ones money can buy, these brushes were still very nice to work with.  You will find the right brush in this set for whatever cosmetic you need to use without any problems.

I always think it is convenient to have an extra set of makeup brushes to leave in your handbag instead of constantly packing from makeup bag or vanity.  If you are in the market for new makeup brushes, I suggest checking for this HD Set on #CrownBrush.

Silky, velvet-like skin doesn't come by itself.  You need to bring it on by coddling every inch of your body with the richest emollients to help it thrive.  An excellent choice for you may be Perlier's Imperial Honey Body Butter that I had the opportunity to try through iFabbo.


What makes this product so amazing for nourishing your skin is the unique honey from African black bees along with royal jelly, producing a luxurious, intensively moisturizing body butter.  This product was beautifully absorbing without leaving any greasy film on my skin, which I appreciated.  

Luscious feeling as that was, my skin felt extremely pampered and soft besides nicely scented with a complicated fragrance that borders on an oriental woody blend along with gourmand traits of that dark honey, adding a yummy chocolate element  that has warmth and a certain mystery.

I couldn't have been more pleased with Perlier's Imperial Honey Body Butter because it had incredible hydration power and a soft sensual scent that managed to linger.  A huge 6.7 oz. jar retails for $40 on HSN.  However, you can save $5.00 off that purchase of #PerlierOnHSN  when you use coupon code iFabbo5 at checkout.

Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Renewing Scrub.jpeg
Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Renewing Scrub


Through the centuries, volcanic thermal water has been sought out by people seeking health benefits.  The mineral-rich water was used to treat medical problems from muscles, joints, sinus conditions to improving the skin itself.  I had never tried any product with volcanic thermal spa water until the iFabbo opportunity arose with this new product from Perlier.

Perlier's Volcanic Thermal Spa Renewing Scrub is an exciting gel for exfoliation that is loaded with natural minerals derived from the volcanic rocks that rejuvenates skin while gently smoothing with various size particles to safeguard from the risk of abrasion. 

The product has a light, fresh fragrance and is a pretty shade of ocean-blue.  To use it, I took it in the shower with me and applied it over my moistened skin, especially to the roughest areas like legs, feet, and bottom.  Then, I leisurely began massaging the scrub in and allowing some time for those beneficial micronutrients to penetrate before rinsing off.

This scrub did not leave me with any greasy feeling once I showered it away.  The only thing I was left with was petal-lsmooth skin and such prettier, soft feet that I now have another new addition my line up of bath products.

A 6.7 oz. jar retails for $25 on HSN.  Get $5.00 off your purchase on #PerlierOnHSN  of your Volcanic Thermal Spa Renewing Scrub when you use coupon code iFabbo5 on #PerlierOnHSN at checkout!

Get Closer: HYD for Men Skin Care Products for a Smooth, Clean Shave (Review)

Disclaimer:  This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.
HYD for Men Skin Care Products.jpeg
HYD for Men Skin Care Products

Although beards and moustaches can be quite sexy on men, I must confess a smooth male face is better for kissing since tickling and scratching can often follow.  My guy happens to like a clean shave also so when iFabbo offered up the HYD for Men shaving system of products to review, I knew he would be pleased to voice an opinion.

There were three products from HYD for Men for him to sample with a Shave Cream for anti-aging help while conditioning and slicking up the skin in prep for a razor; the Buffer Stick to exfoliate and ward off ingrown hairs; and a Razor Shield for prolonging the life of any razor blade.  

After several days, I thought it was time to probe him.  In regard to the HYD for Men Shave Cream, he liked the energetic, cool sensation in this low foaming later, but really noticed how much softer his skin felt compared to his normal cheaper shave cream.  He also mentioned he didn't need to use as much as what he pumped from his old can to get a close shave.

The HYD for Men Buffer Stick he thought wasn't bad. Although I have tons of scrubs, he never tried anything to exfoliate so this was a first for him.  His problem was remembering this extra step the first few times.  Now I see him making a habit of picking that product up when he shaves.

As to the HYD for Men Razor Shield, this is the only product he wasn't all that keen for.  He didn't think it helped his blade to justify the cost.  He thought pouring an oil out over his blade was harder to coat than if it had come in a spray form.  It dripped down and wasted more than went on the blade in this way.  If the design was changed, it probably would make it a more effective product.

The HYD for Men Shave Cream retails for ($12.99), Buffer Stick ($24.99), and the Razor Shield ($17.99).

Ladies, HYD for Men Shave Cream really left my guy with a baby smooth face so ready for kisses.   I think the essential oils and well as the added moisturizing ingredients really do wonders even on someone with a tendency toward heavy growth.  Men, listen up, because this is a product that might help your cause with the ladies.

If you want to try any of these products from HYD for Men  that I talked about, then this is the perfect time to save 20% off your entire purchase.  All you have to do is to click here to visit HYD for Men and enter promotion code SAVE20.   Thank you to #HYDForMen and iFabbo for allowing my guy a chance to be heard.

Reinvent the Look of Your Skin: Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
 Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex.jpeg
Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex

Did you know you have a better chance of saving your skin if you start using anti-aging products in your 20s and early 30s instead of waiting until time ravishes your face with wrinkles? However, it is never too early or too late to begin taking better care of it. Thanks to iFabbo, I had the chance to see what I thought of Hydroxatone's AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex.

This luxurious cream is packed with beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid for plumping and help in filling in wrinkles while also retaining moisture with argireline, an anti-aging peptide, Matrixyl3000 to stimulate collagen, and SPF 15 protection for sun defense against harmful UVA/UVB rays. 

Furthermore, this is a multi-tasking product that you can use on your face and safely on your eyes according to the company.  Saving money always appeals to me.  Therefore, it this cream could successful replace a few jars with one and help streamline my vanity, I was even more excited to see how well this cream worked.

Using mornings and nights, my sensitive skin reacted without any irritation problems and found the formula quite gentle.  Now that my normal dry skin changed due to warm weather into combination skin, the way this cream hydrates without bogging it down with heaviness or any greasy appearance was another plus. 

Although I haven't been using this silky, yellow-colored cream all that long, I did like the way my fine creases around my eyes were already looking somewhat smoother.  If this is any indication of what this product can do, I do look forward to further improvements over time.

I do recommend trying this product yourself and put it to your own test.  You can find Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex at ULTA for $69.95.

What a Way to Smell Delicious and Refresh Summer Skin--Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water.jpeg
Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water


Have I discovered something exciting to share with you when it comes to summer skin care and suffering through that horrible heat! 

Through iFabbo I got to try a product from Perlier with their Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water, which is different from what you may be accustomed to using.  Listen up because this product is fun and so delightful to wear while it cools and soothes you with its delicious frothiness so you're as tempting as any fruit sorbet.

During those dog days of summer just imagine how refreshing it would feel to take out a yummy-smelling skin care product from your refrigerator to lavish over your warm skin?  This is how Perlier's Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water can help spoil you with its cooling, comforting sensation as it rescues skin with moisture and scent.

The name says body water.  However, this product is far from a wimpy liquid and comes out as a foam that crackles and pops upon contact with your skin.  But give this product a few minutes on your body and it becomes a gel-cream with that energetic burst of citrus scented skin relief.
  
Doesn't that sound great?  Do try Perlier's Lemon Sorbet Crackling Body Water and prepare to be amazed.  This product retails for $24.95 on HSN.

Lucky you, the company is giving my readers $5 off your first order of #PerlierOnHSN.com when you enter the iFabbo5 coupon code at checkout!

You Will Love Your Face Again! OWN Skin Health's Firming Silk Serum Concentrate Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Own Skin Health's logo.jpeg
OWN Skin Health

I never cease in my quest for keeping my skin from giving away my age.  Therefore, when I had the opportunity through iFabbo to try OWN Skin Health's Firming Silk Serum Concentrate I made it a point to get onboard after the success with their Refining Moisture Night Cream.

What differentiates this company's products is their amazing CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) plant technology.  Until you experience this type of formula firsthand as I did, only then will you understand how gentle this approach to anti-aging skin care is to improve the look of your complexion. 

Anyone with sensitive skin might have had problems with anti-aging products with retinol because it can be rather harsh.  However, this product does not contain any retinol, parabens, sulfates, or fragrances.

Though I only used this serum for a relatively short period, I saw a more even skin tone within two weeks without any irritation.  With just a few drop of this light serum my dry skin felt smoother, moisturized, and comfortable while looking brighter.  Sure, my lines are still on my face, but the fine creases and two deeper wrinkles are also coming along because those bad boys by my cheeks are looking more filled in. 

I am thrilled with my results and do suggest trying OWN Skin Health Firming Silk Serum Concentrate available for $24.99 at Ulta locations nationwide!

Simplify Summer Beauty: Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream With Broad Spectrum SPF 40 (Medium) Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**



If you ask me, I think one of the most amazing products you can put on your face is a BB Cream.  Such a multi-tasking product can hydrate, conceal, protect, and serve as makeup to saves you time, but also is a great choice to add to your summer beauty ritual.

Thanks to iFabbo, I had the opportunity to try Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 in Medium.  

The first thing you will notice is how this citrus scented product will even out your skin tone and do wonders to improve the texture of your complexion.  It does come out a bit thick so you only need a little to do your face.  The feel of this cream is lightweight against your skin with reliable light to nearly medium coverage, depending on how much you apply.

This cream needs a few minutes to adjust once on your skin before you notice how it adapts to match your coloring.  Being light but not fair, I had concerns about what the medium shade would look like; however, this suited my coloring without any problems.  In fact, I think light would have been too pale for me.  Therefore, I suggest you may want one shade darker than normal in this line.

With their peptides, vitamin C, plant stem cells, and SPF 40 broad spectrum sun protection, this BB Cream really did benefit my skin from anti-aging because it didn't seem to settle into any creases, insured the face protection from sun damage being a sunblock, and gave me a better-looking complexion the more I used it. 

As far as staying power, I thought this cream held up nicely without turning greasy either.  The gorgeous soft matte finish won't disappoint you.

Unlike a tinted moisturizer, I also want to point out that  this BB Cream is wonderfully pigmented.  Some people may feel they need more coverage if they have lots of skin issues and apply their foundation on top, but I thought the coverage smoothed and perfected my complexion just fine alone.  I intend on replacing my normal foundation with this one for summer. 

The 1.5 oz. Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 retails for $39 at ULTA.  If you haven't tried a BB Cream yet, you definitely need to look into one.  I honestly believe you'll love what this can do for you!

Brighten Skin While You Sleep: Own Skin Health's Refining Moisture Night Cream Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Own Skin Health's Refining Moisture Night Cream.jpeg
Own Skin Health's Refining Moisture Night Cream

Own Skin Health was a new brand to me when I first discovered them with a product review for IFabbo.  The product that introduced me to this company was with their Lifting Eye Cream, which worked wonderfully for me.  Therefore, I was glad to try their Refining Moisture Night Cream when the opportunity presented itself.

At the heart of their formula is their CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)  plant-based technology.  This specially developed process allows the ingredients to penetrate deeper through three main layers of your skin for raising moisture and collagen while repairing.

There are no retinol, paraben, or sulfates in Own Skin Health's Refining Moisture Night Cream to concern yourself with.  

I liked how lightweight and non-greasy this cream felt upon application and the fact it quickly absorbed into my skin. Upon using for the first time, I did feel a bit of mild tingling.  The feeling wasn't really irritating, but you knew those ingredients were doing something.

Though I practically just started using this new night cream, I did notice my skin looked somewhat brighter in just a span of a few days.  In addition, it felt very smooth and soft.  I can't wait to see what else it can do over the course of longer use and will continue using it.  

The 1.7 fl. oz. retails for $24.99.  Find Own Skin Health's Refining Moisture Night Cream at Ulta's website or nationwide or at Own Skin Health.

Look for this product because I think it might just be what you're searching for!

Own Lifting Eye Cream.jpeg
Own Lifting Eye Cream

They say eyes are the windows to your soul.  Therefore, you want to make sure the view is attractive by taking care of the fragile skin of your eye area.  A hard-working eye cream like what I have been testing for iFabbo with the Own Lifting Eye Cream from Own Skin Health is a good place to begin.

This is a unique cream that has special CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) plant-based technology  to work with your body's individual chemistry to optimize its power.  The product claims to penetrate deep through three main layers of skin so it best moisturizes and repairs.

I have only been using this product for a week, but the skin in my eye area  is softer and does seem smoother already.   Even with my allergies, this light cream was gentle enough to use and caused me no irritation to my sensitive eyes.    Also, this cream was a great base for using before eye cosmetics  without any heavy greasy feel.

According to the package, this eye cream is said to firm and boost collagen levels within eight weeks.  As to that, I will need more time to tell how accurate that statement is.   However, I like what is has done so far and will keep using it.

The 0.5 fl. oz. tube retails for $23.99.  If you're in the market for a new eye cream, you might want to look into this Own Lifting Eye Cream.

No More Ugly Sweaters! Lilly Brush Fabric Pill Remover Review!

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Lilly Brush Fabric Pill Remover.jpeg
Lilly Brush Fabric Pill Remover


Don't you hate when your favorite sweaters, jackets, or other beloved item gets those little nasty fabric pills, lint, or pet hairs attaching to cause you grief?  Of course, you could donate that less than perfect garment or try solving the problem at home in another way.  One product you should try is the Lilly Brush that I am reviewing for iFabbo and here's why.

To really put this product through its paces, I tested it on a wounded wool jacket first.  However, it works on all natural fibers besides wool from cotton, cashmere, angora, etc.

The best way to use this brush is to work on small sections of the plagued area at a time.  Using a back and forth motion, I zapped most of the lint that somehow found my cuffs.

The next time, I gave the Lilly Brush a tougher assignment.  I have a cardigan sweater that I save for gardening.   Though it has its share of fabric pills, I love how comfortable it is when working outside in the privacy of my secluded garden.  Therefore, I was curious how much help this brush could do for something uglier like this particular sweater.

Gradually, I began seeing a vast improvement in dislodging those ugly fabric pills.  As I mentioned, this sweater has issues and required a lot more brushing than my wool jacket.  Nonetheless, I kept treating it until it was hardly recognizable.  This brush didn't clear everything because I got tired of rubbing, but it did take away about 75% of those fabric pills, which was amazing to me considering the original condition of this sweater.  

If I probably spent more time on it, I am confident it probably would zap up the rest of those fabric pills.  Finishing that task is what I plan to do over the weekend.

What else I though was great about the Lilly Brush was it is a smaller brush with its own plastic carrying case for throwing in your handbag.  This is so handy for repairing your garments when out.  

Here is a good example.   A friend of mine has this hairy, white beast of a dog, more like the size of a fat pony, that is sweet but sheds like crazy.  Since he habitually greets everyone, he never fails to get his long Samoyed hairs all over my clothes when visiting.  This brush saved the day when I later pulled it out.

After that dog, I had to clean the Lilly Brush.  All that I had to do was use some soap and water on it and rinse followed by a few brisk taps before allowing it to dry.

I highly recommend buy a Lilly Brush because you will be surprised at how well it works.  You can find it here.
