Great electric razor, but not a replacement for traditional metal razors

I have been using the Phillips Norelco Shaver 6000 for 5 weeks, after receiving it through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is a fantastic electric razor, but I did not find it to be equivalent to a traditional standard razor. The Norelco was very smooth and did not give me any razor burn, despite using it daily (including weekends). It was easy to use, and was great for a quick shave, or a more lengthy, thorough shave. Battery life is great, and the quick-charge feature for a single shave is very useful.

I did not like that the beard trimmer was an external piece that clipped on in place of the head. Previous models had a beard trimmer that flipped up from the shaver, and that was more convenient. The model also did not come with a travel case, which I would have used. The face of the razor head comes completely off for thorough cleaning, but I would have preferred it on a hinge. Because the face snaps on, I often dropped the face as it popped off the shaving head.

Most importantly, the shave itself: very easy to get long and short hairs trimmed, and it gave me a smooth-feeling shave. However, the shaver did not prevent a 5-o'clock shadow like a conventional metal razor does. I need to remain clean shaven all day for work, and I was often spotting scruff by 5 or 6 p.m.

Game changer!

As an avid baker, I was incredibly excited to receive this baking mat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I tried the mat out while baking Christmas cookies and crescent rolls. I used absolutely no non-stick sprays, oils, etc., only the baking mat, and everything came out perfectly even! Nothing sticks to this thing! When baking cookies, I used a sheet pan with this mat and sheet pans with parchment paper. The cookies baked on the mat were so even and soft and perfect! A definite difference from the ones I baked with parchment paper. Clean up was super easy—I just threw the mat on the top rack of the dishwasher! Easy peasy! This mat is more sturdy that other silicon baking mats I have tried. The other ones I have are flimsy and don't really make a difference, but this one is high quality and I will definitely continue using this every time I bake! I kept the original packaging and roll it up when it's clean and put it right back in the box to store it, so it takes up very little space!

Great countertop oven!

It was easy to start using the basic features and I imagine this will be our go-to appliance! The oven heats up quickly (yes!) and is quiet when in use. Have mostly used it to reheat items like pizza and toasting bread, which it does well. Pizza is crispy again without burning nor waiting for long preheat times as with traditional ovens. Tried baking sweet potato wedges and they came out beautifully - crispy outside and soft inside. Looking forward to baking some cookies next! On top of functionality, it is a really nice looking well-made appliance. Having said that, it's not tiny and does take up a larger footprint. It isn't a problem for us but may be for people who have very limited counter space. I received this product through the Stellar Review Program.

Great hydration results!

I was so excited to receive Deepsea Hydrating Mask through Stellar. It is such a game changer. I was so impressed with how it evenly soaked into my skin and left it feeling supple and refreshed. I used it everyday for two weeks so far, and I've seen noticable results in my skin's hydration. It's a new permanent addition to my skincare routine!

Meh

Meh. I was intrigued by the idea of this with the Skin Inc. tri-light, but the light was too futzy for me, and I didn't love the gel that you are supposed to use with the light, although I tried it daily for about 2 weeks. Didn't really notice any improvement.
