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

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.

Discover Designer Style for Less With Vente-Privee (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.**


Recently, I was invited by SheSpeaks to review Vente-Privee, the new online shopping site in partnership with American Express where you can save up to 70-percent off on all your favorite designer fashions, watches, accessories for women, men, and even children.  Besides those high end styles you crave, you can also find bargains in their home and lifestyle categories to keep your surroundings as beautiful as you as well.  If this sounds as enticing to you as it did for me, then let me tell you more.

You must become a member before you can shop first.  All it takes is a few seconds to register and join the site for free to take advantage of these slashed prices, which change daily at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time.   Those featured daily deals are limited and last only for 72 hours before they disappear so you must be prepared to pounce.

For instance, today you can find some great buys on designer fashions from such names as Elie Tahari, Nina Ricci Paris, and Calvin Klein for starters.  Take a look at this gorgeous Calvin Klein Classic Bomber Leather Jacket in black that originally sold at $1360 but now is offered for only $358.  Can you believe it?

Customer service is available if you need help or some expertise to make your buying decision easier.

If you happen to be an American Express Cardmember, you are in for even more value such as free shipping over orders of $100 to special offers.

The site was founded in France in 2001 by Jacques-Antoine Granjon as a way to help brands liquidate excess inventory using these limited time shopping events.  The concept worked so well, you can now reap the benefits and save a bundle of all those things you need for work, school, or home.  Just check out Vente-Privee YouTube Video for yourself to see how this site works and you'll be hooked.

Ecko's UNLTD. Fragrance for Men by Marc Ecko Review + Giveaway! (3 Winners!)--Ends April 11, 2012

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


Ecko's UNLTD. Fragrance for Men by Marc Ecko.jpeg
Ecko's UNLTD. Fragrance for Men by Marc Ecko
I was lured in by the compelling fresh scent of UNLTD. (short for Unlimited) fragrance by designer, Marc Ecko and Parlux Fragrances immediately.  This second fragrance for men that came out spring, 2011 is so appealing in almost a unisex sort of way that you may be tempted to share or use this eau de toilette for yourself! 

This scent has a youthful energy and drive about it that is bursting with passion and life.  Water mint and luscious melons provide a cooling balance to fresh figs and the citrus tang of Italian lemon for a very clean and green rush to the senses.  Once the heart opens, rosemary and lavender compete with a spicy floral-citrus smell of Neroli and soft suede, warming giving it a seductive quality.  The scent dries down and deepens with robust cashmere and cedar woods, moss, and haunting musk to complement this captivating new fragrance.  

My guy loved wearing UNLTD. and I loved the smell of him in it.  This is not one of those choking fragrances for men that you want to leave the room when he enters because it suffocates you with heavy he-man type of fumes.  UNLTD. has that incredible freshness and then later that soft warmth of seduction that only pulls you into the spell it creates.

Men, trust me, this is a perfect spring scent that the woman in your life will definitely find irresistible.  Personally, I am nuts about UNLTD. with the exhilarating way it takes hold of your senses. 

Nonetheless, be good to your man and get him a bottle so you can enjoy him in it.  I highly recommend it!
