Replenish




Replenish is a new ecofriendly brand that is committed to reduce plastic waste. Its reusable plastic bottle system, refill system as they call it, is design to cut down cleaning products plastic packaging. This product is made out of recyclable materials. The bottomless plastic bottle includes a pod that contains the cleaning formula. Unlike other cleaning solutions, Replenish cleaning formula is plant derived and non-toxic. The pods are offered in three distinct aromas. A single pod is equivalent to three 50 oz. bottles of cleaning formula. It is simple to assemble, simply screw the pod into the bottle and squeeze the solution until it reaches the fill line. The bottle must be turn over so that the cleaning solution is dispensed into the bottle that will later be filled with water. This product is great for individuals who are eco-conscious.  The Replenish ecofriendly multi surface cleaning product is great for the environment because it consist of a reusable bottle system that is 100% recyclable. My only suggestion for this product would be for Replenish to find a more effective advertisement method. People need to know about this simple yet innovative ecofriendly design.

Video Calling Apps



Connecting with family and friends all over the world has never been easier. With the advancement of technology, mobile applications have been designed to help individuals stay connected no matter the distance. Video call apps have become an essential way to communicate with family and friends. It allows the user of the application to have the same experience as having a face to face conversation. Some of the most popular video calling applications include Skype, OoVoo, Tango, and Line. Most of the video calling applications are free to use. One great feature that distinguishes Skype and OoVoo from other video calling apps is that they allow multiple people to join a video call. Anyone with a front facing camera phone can easily make video calls by installing one of the many video calling applications. These applications are intended for individuals who prefer face to face quality conversations enriched with non verbal expressions over a phone call. They are also for people who maintain and develop strong relationships overseas. My only suggestion for these apps, particularly Skype, would be to include an option that allows a user to record the video conversations with the approval of every individual that is involved in the video call so it'll be saved as a MPEG4 file as soon as the conversation ended.

Secret Extensions



Have you ever dealt with a bad haircut when you clearly asked the hairstylist to cut three inches but they end up cutting six inches leaving it too short? Surviving a bad haircut has never been easy, but with Secret Extensions it's possible. Secret Extensions is a product designed to give the consumer long natural looking hair within seconds. This product is made out of keratin conditioned polyester fiber that feels and looks like real hair. The hair extension is sixteen inches long which makes it perfect to stylize as desire. The extensions are available in twelve shades of brow, black, and blonde. The invisible elastic band distinguishes the product from other competing brands. What makes this product design so appealing is that it’s easy to remove as it is to apply. Unlike other hair extensions that require a long and painful application process, Secret Extensions are easy to apply. The application process consists of placing the invisible band on like a headband and simply blending ones hair over the extensions. This product is intended for women that would like to have long luscious hair in a matter of seconds at an affordable price. My only suggestion for this product would be to focus on advertising the product to a larger audience such as elderly women. The Secret Extensions would be a great solution for their thinning hair and hair loss.

The System



Sephora’s Formula X has been a hit in the nail polish industry. Formula X nail polish is designed to give the consumer a satisfying long lasing manicure. This product is perfect for anyone who enjoys having a salon quality manicure at a reasonable price. Since production they’ve launched a variety of nail care treatments and nail polish kits. Each kit comes in a beautifully designed package that is sure to capture more than one glance. The System nail polish kit has captured a lot of attention since it launched its redesigned kit. It used to be a three piece kit that included a nail cleanser, a base coat, and a top coat. The redesigned kit is now a customizable four piece manicure set. In addition to the three pieces mentioned above the consumer gets to pick a nail polish shade, which there’s a variety to choose from such as muted and neon colors. The packaging design is simple and unique. It has an opening that allows the customer to place inside their chosen nail polish to complete the manicure set. My only suggestion for this product would be to change the text color that reads “choose your own color” to a bright pink so that the text can stand out from a distance instead of blending in.

Baby Lips

Maybelline’s Baby Lips lip balm’s popularity has grown over the past years. These lip balms hydrate and moisturize dry lips for up to eight hours. They are enriched with SPF 20 sunscreen, protecting lips from sunburn. The cute and fun packaging design makes it hard to ignore the product. Their bright colors make them stand out from a distance drawing people’s attention to them. The transparent cap has stamped on bold text that reads “Baby Lips”. The text color and the lip balm tube color complement each other and together they create a high contrast. This product is offered in a variety of color tints and flavors that have distinct fruity scents.  Maybelline’s Baby Lips lip balm is great for anyone who likes to keep their lips smooth and hydrated. Since production, Maybelline has launched several Baby Lips lip balm limited edition collections. It’s most recent “Electro” collection has been a success. The product design is bold and sparks the audience curiosity from a distance.The Electro Baby Lips lip balm is packaged in a black tube with a transparent cap that has bright neon text on it. My only suggestion for this product would be to work on adding a screw cap since the cap gets really loose after a while.
