Consumer: Acne sufferers
The purpose of the Luxury Facial Salts product is to clear pores and remove impurities that cause acne.
Pros: According to the Dead Sea Cosmetics website, “The Dead Sea's water contains a unique composition of minerals and trace elements that have soothing effects on the skin. Jericho Luxury Facial Salts contain a high concentration of these minerals and trace elements. Use the naturally exfoliating Jericho Luxury Facial Salts to clear blocked pores and remove impurities.” The statement goes on to say, “Your complexion will be brighter and your skin will feel soft, young and refreshed. In fact, many users of Jericho's Luxury Facial Salts consider them an all-natural, in-home micro-derm-abraision treatment.”
To use the Luxury Facial Salts, you simply wet the face, massage in a small amount of the product, and then rinse thoroughly and pat the face dry. It is recommended that the Luxury Facial Salts be used several times each week for best results.
Cons: The Luxury Facial Salts must be completely rinsed off of the skin after use to prevent skin damage. The salt in the product would have a drying effect if it remained on the skin.
Guarantee: There is a limited guarantee of satisfaction that states in part, “The warranty applies based on current statutory provisions. Additional information about manufacturer’s warranties can be found on the product pages or in the product manuals.”
Value for money: The Luxury Facial Salts appears to be an excellent product and a very good value. Not only does it clean and clear the skin, but it is also an natural exfoliant.

Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi from Starbucks Store.com
Consumer: Coffee lovers
The purpose of the Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi is to provide an espresso coffee maker to coffee lovers that will make espresso coffee completely automatically from grinding the beans to delivering the cup of coffee.
Pros: DeLonghi is a well-known and well-established name in espresso coffee maker circles. They’ve been at it a long time and have all of the ‘bugs’ worked out. The Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi is the top of the top of the line. It automatically grinds, tamps and brews fresh espresso coffee.
The Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi is completely programmable. You can set it to make espresso coffee according to strength, cup size and temperature. There is also a cappuccino frother that automatically mixes steam and milk to create rich, creamy foam. There are Stainless steel conical burrs with adjustable grind setting that will deliver the most accurate and consistent grind.
The Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi even tells you when it is time to clean it…automatically! The height adjustable spouts also allow you to serve coffee in varying cup sizes.
Cons: Unless you are a serious espresso aficionado, the price of the product may be too high. There is a one-year warranty on the Magnifica Super Automatic by DeLonghi, but that hardly seems like a warranty that is long enough considering the price of the machine.
Guarantee: The guarantee of satisfaction posted on the Starbucks website reads in part: “At StarbucksStore.com, we want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it for a replacement or refund of the purchase price. We even stand behind our delivery.

"Propet Mens Wash N Wear Walker" from FootSmart.com
"Propet Mens Wash N Wear Walker" from FootSmart.com
A Review...
Consumer: Men
The purpose of the Propet Men's Wash 'N Wear Walker is to provide walking shoes that are comfortable as well as washable.
Pros: The Propet Men's Wash 'N Wear Walker is an excellent active sportswear shoe that are easily donned with the pull-on tab on the heel. There are no laces to tie (or re-tie). This active wear shoe has excellent heel and arch support, molded EVA midsole for shock absorption, and great traction soles. There are removable inner soles that can help the shoes to be more "breathable."
The nicest thing about the Propet Men's Wash 'N Wear Walker is that it is washable. You can simply toss the shoes into the washing machine and they come out clean and presentable again, no matter how far or how hard they have traveled. You cannot toss them into the dryer, however; they must be air-dried.
A quilted leather upper with a nylon-neoprene padded collar enables the shoes to stay looking newer longer.
Cons: The design of the Propet Men's Wash 'N Wear Walker means that it will not be "breathable." Although they are very well made, these shoes will not allow any air circulation at all around the foot.
Guarantee: The guarantee on the FootSmart website reads in part: “Everything you buy from us is backed by our 120 Day – 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, simply return it within 120 days for any reason and your product total will be refunded (unfortunately we cannot refund shipping and order processing fees). Please remember, though, that footwear products, such as shoes, must be returned in their original, unworn condition, and in their original boxes.”
Value for money: The Propet Men's Wash 'N Wear Walker shoes are really a very good value.
