Jolie
Experience
I got my Jolie a week ago and wanted to try it out before reviewing! First, the unboxing experience was amazing—the packaging was so thoughtfully designed and satisfying. They even include teflon tape and some other surprises that add a nice and helpful touch! As for the quality of the product, it definitely has an effect on how my hair and skin feels after a shower! Living in Los Angeles, it was immediately noticeable. That said, it doesn't get everything (I wouldn't drink from it!) but it is well worth the upgrade over my other shower head... and it looks great, too!
Feedback
My one point of feedback would be that it still drips at the point where it screws on even though I tried attaching it several time with various amounts of plumbers tape and tension on the screw. That said, it's not bad—just a few drops of water every now and then—so it's definitely not a deal breaker! Frankly, it's the only thing keeping it from being perfect!
Burrow
Experience
I ordered the Range sectional for my new apartment. The quality is great and the assembly was a breeze. I actually greatly enjoyed putting it together because of how comprehensive the manual was and how simple it was to do with no tools. The cushions are a bit on the stiffer side, but I'm sure they'll settle in with a bit of wear—that said, I actually quite like it this way! Worth noting that the sectional I got also had some of the more eco-friendly packaging of other furniture I've ordered recently from other brands!
Feedback
I wish there was a wider selection of colors, but I'm quite happy with the navy blue that I got!
Article
Experience
I ordered a nightstand, coffee table, and side table! So far, I've received the coffee table and nightstand. While I wait for the side table to arrive, I've really been enjoying the other items. The build is solid and both arrived mostly assembled.
Feedback
As with most furniture deliveries, I do with there was less plastic and styrofoam in the packaging. Thankfully, Article hasn't been as bad as other furniture store's packaging... but it could be better!
quip
Experience
Love my Quip toothbrush. It's so nice that I don't have to think about refills on brush heads or toothpaste. One less thing to think about is always nice!
Feedback
Sometimes I don't always finish the toothpaste before the next tube is delivered! This doesn't bother me much though as toothpaste is something I can easily and frequently donate to a good cause. My only other note is that their Blue-tooth motor wasn't really worth it for me! I thought it would be cool to have analytics for my dental hygiene, but the bluetooth pairing was really inconsistent and the app felt kind of cheap so I stopped using it after only a short while. I'd skip that if I were you!
Bombas
Experience
I've had several pair of Bombas socks. Their heavy-weight socks are great and keep your feet cozy and warm. Great for winters in NYC or elsewhere. With that positive experience, I bought some of their No-show socks and was really disappointed. For how expensive they are, they wore out quickly with every pair eventually getting holes in the toe.
Feedback
Thinner socks of theirs aren't strong enough and get holes easily. For how much they cost, I think this is a huge downside and flaw. The heavier socks are great though!
Maude
Experience
I'm a guy and I've been using Maude products for years and have tested many of their products, including condoms, organic lubricant, silicone lubricant, vibrators, and massage candles. Maude is now the only brand I buy when it comes to condoms and lubricants. I love that they can sit on my nightstand and look tasteful. As for their massage candle, the scent is amazing with a wax that works great for a warm massage or a medium-temp wax play session. The sex toys are strong and great to use with a partner, too!
Feedback
The biggest trouble I have had is with silicone lubricant bottles getting a bit leaky, but that's not uncommon for such products. Would also love to see more products/toys made for the male body.
Lumin
Experience
Some of the best skincare products I've used that target a male audience. I really like their branding and style, which look refined and classy on my bathroom counter. The face balm (moisturizer) is a bit thick for my preference, but it actually works great in a NYC winter. Their under-eye patches, nose pore strips, and toner are all great, too.
Feedback
A less thick option for moisturizer would be great, but I think the balm works well in some situtions.
Golden Ratio
Experience
My friend actually started this company, but my unbiased take is that the flavor is unique but not something I would drink every day. The flavor is nutty and kind of thin (especially compared to the black coffee I usually drink). That said, the different flavors they have all taste great and add a nice set of variety! It was nice to try, but I'd rather just go with a black tea or coffee in most situations.
Feedback
No improvements needed, it's just not quite for me!
Seedlip
Experience
I love my Seedlip cocktails! They are a great way to indulge in the creativity of mixology without getting necessarily having to have alcohol. Also a nice treat when I'm spending time with those who don't drink for whatever reasons!
Feedback
More flavors would be great, but the three that are in place now are super flexible to work with.
Cheeky
Experience
I've been a Cheeky subscriber for over a year now, and it's been an overall okay experience. The product works well (snug, comfortable fit on my teeth) but the service/logistics are very poor. Long delays in shipping and confusing instructions for setup.
Feedback
Would be great if there weren't long periods of waiting on my "scheduled" replacement mouthguard.
