Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder - translucent

Visit Store Now !!

I've been using this item for years and apparently it has been discontinued in stores. I'm so glad that I was able to find it at Amazon. I received it within a few days and it's exactly what I was looking for. I have no complaints at all and highly recommend people to check Amazon for items that are no longer available in stores. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder 2.3oz/65g Translucent 070-24

I used this powder religiously throughout my teen years when I was first discovering the joys of my mother's make up cabinet. Later, I switched to pressed powder compacts because they were more convenient to carry, but often they made my fair skin turn orange. So I have returned to this old favorite. It matches my skin tone perfectly, and even the reddest blemishes disappear under its smooth, natural coverage. I do find that I have to apply it more often during warmer months. In fall and winter, it lasts nearly all day, but in summer, when my skin is especially oily, I have to reapply every few hours.



My only other complaint is that the vintage cardboard packaging isn't very practical. Whenever I open the lid, great clouds of the face powder explode from the jar, covering every inch of surface area in the room. I suppose if you needed to make a quick get away, you could easily confuse your enemy and escape in a great puff of Coty, but it's not a very practical feature for those of us who aren't spies or bank robbers. Fortunately, Coty has introduced a new plastic jar with a removable sifter inside, so now it's mess-free (and travel-friendly). - Translucent'

As I am a huge fan of BFBC1, COD4MW and CODMW2, I will not make direct comparisons. They are all great in their own way. I will say that this game is a bigger improvement from BC1, than MW2 is from MW1...if that means anything to you.



The graphics are a less "cartoon-ish", for lack of a better word.



The controls are better IMO, but you change them back to BC1 if you'd like.



There are more upgrades/attachments available, along with a unique way to mix and match them to your liking.



Something I like a lot is the effect gravity has on snipers firing over long distances. It's the first game (that I know of) where the mil dots in the scope are needed to snipe. You will also have to lead your target, just like in BC1.



Huge maps, like BC1



Destructable buildings, tree, etc., like BC1.



Firing rifles in full auto is more realistic. In BC1 there wasn't much climb or wander when firing in full auto.



I would recommend it to any one looking for the closest simulation of warfare in a video game. It incorporates squad teamwork, vehicles, armor, airstrikes and much more. This creates an environment where the run-and-gun Rambo types, just get owned...I love it! Battlefield Bad Company 2

Quick backround on me - I'm an avid console FPS player. I achieved top 1% once and top 6% for 3 solid months on Killzone. I've gotten my kill rank as high as 91000 on MW2 (good enough for top 2%). I also played a fair amount of Resistance. I LOVE COD:MW2. I love the graphics, the speed, the twitch reflexes required to be good. I also do not play the single player games, so my review is aimed specifically at the online portion. I will say the 2 hours spent on the single player were very fun and the graphics phenominal (noticeably better than multiplayer). I also play with a clan that has carried over several games, that also weighs into my opinion. Finally, I played both the BETA and the DEMO, and about 48 hours online in, so I have a fair amount of experience with BFBC 2 .



Based on DICE & EA's own admission, they are aiming to be the best, better than COD specfically. Do they succeed? Yes and no. Here is my comparison/opinion:



Play is class based - Recon, Medic, Assault and Engineer. As you play as each character, their specific abilities are unlocked and enhanced. The leveling is slow. Unlike MW2 where getting hot could mean 2000xp and a quick couple of levels. Not so in Battlefield. You will need to play and play well as one class for an extended period to really get into the meat of the characters. You can customize your player, but not in the same fashion MW2. Edge: Draw



Modes include Rush, Capture the Flag, Squad Deathmatch and Gold Rush. The HUGE advantage BFBC 2 has over MW2 is that playing like a one man army is useless and you will probably lose. You CAN do it, but camping and playing as a lone wolf simply do not work in BFBC. Again, a stark contrast to MW2, the maps are enormous. And that is putting it lightly. Squading up is imperative if you want to move quickly across the map (and spawn with a squadmate). Edge: BFBC



Mechanics - The players move in a similiar fashion to COD:MW, i.e., like the player is on skates. This is in contrast to Killzone that moves more like Saving Private Ryan. The guns feel good, but do not have a weighty feel to them. The player can run for days and jump abnormally high. The bullets have drop at long range, wich is awesome. As opposed to a wobbly reticle, you have to aim based on distance to the target. You don't get much of a notice when you are getting hit or hit someone, and getting killed can be a bit jarring and abrubt. Players can regain health, but slowly, so as a sniper, you can get those one shot kills, especially if you snipe behind your tank. Speaking of vehicles. They are tide changer and vital part of winning the game you are playing. We're talking choppers, tanks, humvees and quadrunners. As far as the actual shooting goes, MW2 still just feels better, but that is going to be a strict opinion, as both work just fine. Edge: Draw



Matchmaking - It's easy to jump into a squad and more importantly, hook up with friends. You can customize the map you play and all of the modes. The game also plays on dedicated servers supported by EA. Again, big edge: BFBC.



Graphics / Sound - This is going to be very much debated. I like how COD and KZ looks. BUT - Battlefield has vehicles, 24 players, 10 maps that dwarf COD and KZ's maps and the big enchilada - fully destructable environments. Like the tanks your in, they change the game. If a sniper thinks he's going to camp, think again. The building he's in or tree he's behind will eventually fall. Near the end of some matches, the level of destruction is incredible. If you are a pure graphics fiend, youll probably think it's ugly, if you love the size, scope and destructability, you'll prefer BFBC. As far as sound - COD is like a Bruckheimer movie, BFBC is like Saving Private Ryan. More pops and thumps. Every gun in COD sounds like a cannon (which I love with my Turtlebeach P21 Headphones). Edge: Draw



Overall - I personally prefer the gameplay of COD:MW2 by a wide margin over BFBC 2. However, if you've spent any time with MW2, you know it's full of lone wolves, campers, cheaters and glitchers. The matchmaking is inferior, clan support is nill and playing with friends online is very difficult because of constant drops. Playing as a team is paramount to having a good time on BFBC, and there in lies the rub. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I'm afraid the game will not have that pick up and play, jump right in replayability that COD:MW2 has. Ginormous maps played with strangers not playing together could end up being just as bad (or worse) than the faults of MW2. At the end of the day, I like the overall idea of BFBC2 BETTER than MW2, but narrowly. Time will tell where the support from players lies and the longevity of the game. - Ps3 Games - Bad Company 2 - Shooter - Battlefield'

A good buy...clear sound with out a lot of noise. The unit also comes with four rubber earpieces so you can pick the one that fits best in your ear. There is no volume control, you will have to use the one on your phone. Their is a mute button built into the wire.



Quality seems good. JBuds J3MS In-Ear Single Earphone style Headset with Microphone for iPhone / Android / BlackBerry / HTC / LG / Motorola / Palm / Samsung - Black

I tried several single earbuds, this is the only one that I liked. Clear, comfortable, good construction, great value. I am buying a couple extra ones so I am never without one. You won't find a better ear piece for your phone. Order this while you can.

I can't believe how silly I must have looked to all the stores that I visited trying to buy something like this. I like bluetooth technology and long ago got used to using earpiece headsets when I talk while driving. The problem is that battery operated headsets are a pain: 1) they become another device that must be charged, and 2) they drain battery life of the phones that use them. I need fewer things to worry about to make my life easier.



Solution: a wired headset. But no one seems to carry them. I researched these and pulled the trigger on this one. I couldn't be happier. Nice quality materials. Cool looking. Great sounding. Awesome value. No issues. Highly recommend. I'm buying a 2nd set for my wife.



5 stars.

I bought this item about a month ago, and the sound was great. The device worked well with my iPhone, until the button...the only button that does everything you need...stopped working. I don't know why, there was no trauma, it simply stopped working. I can still use the earpiece and mic, I just have to get my phone out to pause my music, answer my phone, skip to the next track, etc. So I hopped on the JLab website, registered my product, and filed a warranty claim. Just like that, I have a new unit being mailed to me.



It's unfortunate that the product broke so quickly, but I really can't complain too much since replacing it was so easy.

[This review has been rewritten thanks to helpful corrections in comments]



This earset sells for a wide range of prices under various product names including J3MS, J3M, etc. Prices seem to vary from $10 to $25. I bought at $17. JLAB appears to be experimenting with pricing, searching on Google prices I found them selling direct at $17.



Curiously, this is about only reasonably priced comfortable wired earset sold for the iPhone. Apple sells their earset (stereo, not so comfortable), you can buy high end stereo earsets, and you can buy monaural bluetooth earsets. For wired monaural though, this seems to be it. Shure used to make a great and reasonably priced 2.5mm wired earset, but they gave up.



Mine came promptly from JLAB with Amazon's trouble-free packaging. In my testing the earset worked quite well with my 4G iPhone and is very comfortable. The single button will start/stop music and will answer and terminate calls -- which is more than I expected and is very much appreciated.



It doesn't feel super durable, but it's a cut above the competition



If it holds up, I'll look for the price to drop below $18 and I'll buy two more.



I'd rate this product as 4 stars, but deduct 1 star for the highly variable pricing. I prefer my prices to be more consistent.

I was impressed with the quality of sound right out of the box with these. I expected way less for the price. It seems very well made too. I'll be buying other products from here in hopes that the rest of their items are just as well made.

I was under the impression that there would be two earbuds, but this is just a cord with a mic and one earbud, which for driving and phone calling, makes sense and is actually great, I was just hoping these could double as gym headphones which I'll now be purchasing. However, this single JBud mic set is awesome, click on and off music, talk clearly over the phone, bump bass into one ear. Peace.

I bought this product because of the recent reviews I read. I have an HTC Inspire 4G cellphone and I do not get good reception on this earpeice. I do like that it does work fine for my IPOD 4G. I'm stilling searching for the best earpeice for my phone and that also can be use on my IPOD 4G. - Earphones - Comfortable - Earbuds - Cellphone'

Replacement Water Filters - water filter, culligan

Visit Store Now !!

The Brita faucet filter does an excellent job of filtering out impurities from tap water -- that is, when it manages to stay attached to the faucet. However, in my experience with it (two years and two different models), a tremendous amount of my valuable time was wasted trying to reattach the filter after it would repeatedly fall off. Although I have no direct experience with the Pur faucet filter, my understanding (drawn from other reviews) is that it suffers from the same problem.



Happily, after purchasing the CULLIGAN Faucet Filter several months ago, I can now report with confidence that it is plagued by no such similar defect. In other words, once attached, it remains firmly in place, and works every bit as effectively as rival brands. So for anyone who has tried those other brands and encountered endless frustration in endeavoring to keep them attached to the faucet, my advice is: Don't give up just yet! Try the Culligan model. It's solidly built, competitively priced, and replacement cartridges are readily available from Amazon. For me, at least, the Culligan at last put an end to the gratuitous, time-wasting burden of having to continually reattach a recalcitrant water filter. Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge

Buy one at a time, and not too far in advance. Filter works well, but Culligan only warrants for 30 days from date of purchase. If you buy several (as I did) and one is defective (spurting water all over kitchen!), no real way to obtain a replacement.

At first, I did experience what a few of the other reviewers mentioned: after a short while the filter didn't appear to have any affect on the taste of the water.



The problem, I discovered, is that if you run the water through the filter too quickly (by opening up the tap all the way) the charcoal filter just can't do its job. As a rule of thumb, only allow enough flow through the filter so that it takes about 10-15 seconds to fill up a glass of water, and you'll have great tasting water. So, if you have high water pressure, make sure you don't open of the faucet all the way when filling a glass. There's just no way a filter as small as this can do its job properly at the max flow rate of most faucets. You really need a large in-line filter for that.



Note that this only applies to the filter's odor and taste removal properties, because this involves a chemical reaction of sorts where activated charcoal pulls chlorine (and other chemical) out of the water by binding to them. This is a completely different mechanism than what you normally associate with filtering, such as particles being caught in a mesh (which is essentially how the rest of the filter works in these, and so it's really only the odor and taste that is affected by the rate at which you let water through the Cullgan).

I wanted a simple but effective economical water filter for my apartment. I did considerable research (including purchasers of various products at Amazon) and at Consumers Reports as well as various internet sites. What appeared to be the best solution for me was a filter that attached to the tap. Simple to attach and effective water filtration. I've been using the Culligan FM-15RA level 3 filter for over a year now and besides being economical it is easy to install and to replace filters (every few months). Since purchasing, we had our water professionally checked for chlorine, bacteria and contaminents (metals etc) and it came through with fjying colors. We are very pleased with the unit.

Finally, after wasting a couple of hundred dollars in Pur products, I moved to Culligan and have not been disappointed. It DOES NOT LEAK, the filter life is twice as long, and is much easier to replace.To top it, the subscribe & save pricing of amazon is amazin !

These filters are a b**ch to get out of the casing (maybe I'm tightening them too much, so be careful not to do that), but other than that I'm happy with Culligan. And, the new option to have it auto-shipped regularly is handy, especially because the Culligan filter doesn't have a fancy replacement indicator light.

This product gives fairly clean water, but it really does not last long. Even though it says it'll last about 2 months, about one month into using it, the one I have runs very slowly as if it has been plugged. I would suggest going with a different type of filter so you won't have to keep buying this filter refill.

We have water with strong chlorine taste, these filters take that away well. It's easy to install, cheap, and surprisingly high quality!!! We also use them for longer than the recommended 2 months, it still filters it just gets slow. - Water Filter - Culligan - Replacement Water Filters - Culligan Water Filters'

Baggallini - purse, tote

Visit Store Now !!

This is a great bag! I carried it with me on a recent trip to England and it was invaluable. It held everything I needed and has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized. I used it as my carry-on as well as a purse - the ability to expand was helpful as I brought back more items than I went over with. Baggallini Expandable Tote,Navy,One Size

I just used my bag for the first time last week while traveling. It's a great size to stuff last minute purchases; also it is so light weight. There are small pockets on the inside, I only wish that there were large pockets on the inside that mirror the ones on the outside. This would be a help to organize stuff.



thanks, Sharon

I have 3 Baggallini bags, all different functions. Love the way they are made and are so light.

Not carrying 5 pounds before you put anything inside! I'm packing this in my carry-on 21" suitcase for a trip to Ireland.

Coming home, I'll check the carry-on and have this tote filled to the brim with good stuff.

Sturdy and great fabric.

Thanks, Baggallini.

I am a Peace Corps volunteer and I needed a low-key bag that was big enough to store my laptop inside while at the same time able to withstand a beating in a third world country (this bag features the classic baggallini fabric that is really tough) and fit all of my extras. This tote is perfect for that and I've received many compliments from other volunteers. I only wish that I had found this bag sooner, as my service is coming to a close in six months, but I plan on using it in the future as a carry on bag for traveling- I do think it is just slightly too big for day to day use- but if you are planning to use it for longer trips it is perfect and I highly recommend it.



I ordered the espresso color and it's a gorgeous dark brown, I am very happy with it.

This is a great travel bag. It has multiple compartments, it is tough, the khaki color does not show dirt easily, and it can be washed. My only problem with it is that it has so much space that I tend to carry too many things around.

I'm not sure what I expected in conjunction with size when I ordered this bag, but it was much larger than I expected. Still...I ordered it after reading another review of a lady taking hers on a trip to England, because I too am about to visit England in a few weeks, and intend to use this bag as my carry-on purse. So far, I'm pretty pleased with the purchase. The Tomato color is fabulous - not too loud - and will be much more fun for me in particular than just plain black. It is large enough to store my raincoat, souveniers, and pretty much whatever else I deem necessary on the plane. The expansion will definitely help when making purchases in merry old England. The main thing I was looking for was a nice bag with a zip top so I don't attract the attention of pickpockets, and this bag zips up quite nicely. I'm 5'3" and the handles fit nicely over my shoulder, which I prefer because it makes me feel more secure. It also has great inner compartments for a cell phone, and other small things. I took it to the beach this weekend for a trial run, and was very pleased. So...the large size doesn't matter - if anything I found it quite helpful. The material looks to be great for wet situations (England is, after all, rumored to be a very rainy place) so I'm confident it will fare well on my trip, and wherever else I take it. - Tote - Bags - Totes - Purse'

Belly Dancing - belly dancing, costumes

Visit Store Now !!

So I bought this hip scarf for my Halloween costume, I was a gypsy. I loved it! It's a lotta fun and it's not like cheap material :) I don't personally belly dance but it's really pretty! I would love to buy more colors and use it for costumes again :) 100% Handmade Belly Dance Hip Scarf Purple, Gold Coins Lively Style

This scarf is very well made and extremely pretty! Feel very exotic and sexy when I wear it and it makes me forget that I'm belly dancing. BTW--coins are gold, not silver as the picture leads you to believe.

100% Handmade Belly Dance Hip Scarf Purple, Gold Coins Lively StyleThis hip scarf is very well made and is way more beautiful than it appears in the photo. When one puts it on, it take's one away from the humdrum of western life and into the exotic lands of the east, whether or not one can actually belly dance.

This is a handmade skirt with 2 rows of coins. The coins hang with sequined circles. While this skirt does not make as much "noise" as the red skirt, also offered by Amazon, it is heavier in weight which can be helpful when learning to dance. There are 4 small rows of coin-colored beads at the top and 1 row at the top of the second layer of coins. The ties also have the sequins and coins. The material is a better quality than others. The purple color looks great with black or white. I gave this item 4 stars because of the shipping costs. I would buy more but the shipping costs compared to the great price is ridiculous.

Overall this is a great skirt. The quality of the material and detail on the beading was beautiful. It is a little shorter than how it looks in the picture but other than that I'm very impressed with it.

This belly scarf will become one of your favorites as you dance or sway your hips! Feels well made. The only thing I would have changed would have been to ad a third row of "bangles" so as to make it a bit longer. Great purchase! - Belly Dance - Belly Dancing - Hip Scarf - Costumes'

Expansion Pack

Visit Store Now !!

While it is true, many have had issues with the download versions of Generations, the problem has been solved, and when I downloaded my game, I had absolutely NO issues!



To solve the issues, FIRST do the folowing: (as in BEFORE you download Generation, this makes the download smoother, but you can still get your game to work if you download first. You will just have to search for the download in your computer files to find the correct install file)



* Delete all MODS and Custom Content you have downloaded.

* Open your EA Download Manager and preform the update (it will prompt you, or it did for me)

* Open up your Sims 3 game, and open the

* Restart your computer.

* Download/Install Generations. You may or may not need to restart your computer again.



After these steps you're game should work perfectly! Mine did, and it really is worth the trouble! You get all kind of new items and interactions. I laughed when I saw the "be frisky" interaction pop up under the "Romantic" tab. You won't be disapointed, it's definitely the best Expansion they've relesed! The Sims 3: Generations [Download]

I have not yet purchased this expansion pack, but I wanted to help the reviewers who are having trouble installing it. Occasionally while patching/updating your Sims 3 game in the Sims 3 Launcher, the game is not fully patched: either you exit out of the update too early or an error occurs. You are usually unaware when this happens. The failed update can cause a mismatch in the versions between the base game (Sims 3) and your current expansion pack. The game may run fine at first, but when you try to update it in the future or add another expansion pack, you get an error and can't play the game.



The SOLUTION to this issue is to manually patch the base game. There are several tutorials online on how to do this, plus the latest patches that you can download. In a nutshell, look for the latest downloadable patch for the Sims 3 base game, not one of the expansion packs, that also corresponds to your region code (1-7) and run it to patch the base game. This should allow you to fully update through the launcher and/or install this expansion pack.

I purchased this game for my daughter since it was an instant download. Unfortunately, didn't read all the problems until after it didn't work for us. Instead of going through and deleting things I was able to go to the Amazon Games & Software folder that was created on her system (under Documents) and I searched for setup.exe files. I found two - TS3....update and Sims3EP04setup. I downloaded the TS3 file update first and then selected the game setup file. It then asked me for the Product Key (which we weren't asked for when installing the first time), entered product key and it completed the download. Game is now working fine. I am NOT tech savy so I'm not sure if these explanations help anyone but I hope so - it was very frustrating!! Product key is available back in Your Account folder. There is a link to the product key when you search for your purchase/order.

My game never worked correctly! it even damaged my exisiting Sims games that were previously installed. I'm not the cause of this error. Re-downloaded 2 times with Amazon and twice directly from EA...waste of time, do not buy Generations!

I have been with The Sims franchise since the very first game and I have every installment, expansion and item pack. This is a fun expansion pack, but unlike Nightlife and Ambitions it does not contain an additional world or additional careers. It does allow additional activities such as Prom, Graduation, learning to drive etc. but you don't actually get to see any of them, only some commentaries during.

The newest addition, boarding school, is probably my favorite add-on as I love having big families, but after awhile they can be a bit tiring, now I can just ship them off to one of several boarding schools that will grow specific talents like logic, athleticism, art/music etc.

You can also create an imaginary friend that, if treated properly, can even become a controllable player and member of the family.

I like this expansion, but it isn't one of my favorites. It is definitely not worth $30. I'm very glad I used a coupon that took off $15 otherwise I would feel very cheated.

My advice is to wait for Sims Pets to come out before you purchase this as there will be a price drop on Generations since it won't be the "new one" anymore.

If you're a Sims lover like I am you'll definitely want to add this to your collection, but if you're only a part-time gamer I'd just skip it and get either Nightlife or Ambitions because they'll give you much more bang for your buck.

Didn't think that I'd like this expansion pack, but after playing it for some time it has to be one of my favorites. There are lots of interactions with other sims added to the game. Teens have a lot more fun stuff to do, and if you don't like playing with a child/teen in your family, you can send them away to boarding school and have them come back with skills/etc! Very fun. Lots of new items, too. Worth it for the price!

The download went smoothly, and playing the game was a lot of fun. For the record this game really adds a bunch of small new features instead of a few big features so be warned. I was able to play the game with no hassle though, and that's what's really important.'
