 WRITING AN A+ REVIEW

Here at Stellar (and over on weeSpring too!), trust and authenticity are our top priorities. A great, A+ review isn't always a positive one—it's the most thorough and helpful one.

Good seat that will grow with your little one

The Maxi Cosi Magellan 5-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is incredibly easy to install and within minutes we were ready to roll. This car seat is well-made and sturdy. The extra padding throughout the seat and multiple seat positions ensure a comfortable ride for my little guy. The plush fabric feels very luxurious and I love the midnight slate color. One of my favorite features is the removable seat cover that can be both washed and dried. I also love that this seat has dual cup holders that are dishwasher safe. We all know how dirty car seats can get and these two features will keep it looking its best for many years! The one complaint I have is that the harness straps tend to get easily twisted. This can be a little stressful when trying to get a wiggly toddler buckled up. Overall, this is a good, safe car seat that will accommodate my little one for several years. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this seat to test and review!

B REVIEW: You're in the running for many programs, but may not be picked for the highest value gear.

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.

C REVIEW: You may still be selected for a program, but it's less likely.

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 to my skin and left it feeling good. 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!

D REVIEW: You forgot to include the required FTC disclosure, or your review is not helpful; you're on probation.

Back to Electric

I rarely use a electric razor but had the opportunity to try the Philips Norelco Shaver. My main issue with other electrick razors was lack of a close shave. This one was able to give me a closer shave than I am used to with an electrick razor. I still felt like that I had shaved that morning by the end of the day. The clip on trimmer worked fine..
