Like I mentioned in my review of the Moist Shampoo, this is moisturizing enough for my thick, coarse hair without being too heavy or greasy and it rinses away completely. I sometimes alternate with the Aussie Aussome Volume conditioner (because someone gave me a giant container of it), but this one keeps me coming back because of the fabulous scent and the way it leave my hair soft and smooth without weighing it down. Plus, people are always complimenting me on the faint scent if they happen to be very close! ;)

I have thick, course, wavy hair and this is the best shampoo I have found in terms of being moisturizing enough without being heavy or greasy. It cleans perfectly, rinses easily and smells heavenly!

It's a great-smelling, economical product that actually works. Very easy to use, I apply it once a week to help rid my skin of blackheads. Sometimes I use it even when I haven't had a breakout simply for its relaxing properties. Another plus about this particular product is that it is easy to wash off. Some other brands and types of masques tend to be difficult to rinse, or get stuck in eyebrows and such...

Although it is a great (and economical!) moisturizer, it is very difficult to get it to the right consistency for use.

I like the scent of this product more than other scrubs, and I find the texture better than other brands, as well. It's a finer scrub than some of the apricot scrubs (though many of the ingredients are the same), yet it does just as good of a job at exfoliating my skin. As a bonus, it's usually cheaper than other brands, and often has a larger package (ie: "30% more free") for the price.

These work better than higher priced inexpensive brands, and pretty much just as well as expensive brands. I have course, thick, fast-growing and unruly brows, and these are able to grab the individual hairs at almost any length, even when they are barely above the skin! I am also impressed with how well these tweezers have held their tension. I've had them for almost 2 years, and I return them to the clear plastic sleeve they came in after each use, so they are still perfectly "springy."

My sister uses the big brand name, expensive products, and my mother uses a fancy line of mineral makeup from a small boutique cosmetics company. Both have had very good luck with mineral makeups over the past two years (better complexions, flawless coverage, etc), so when this brand introduced its own line of mineral products, I had to try it. I'm a fan of many of the company's other products, so I knew it was worth a shot. I got the "kit" with the blush, foundation, bronzer and shimmer highlighter in addition to the concealer. It's all great, but the concealer is my favorite product. It's got amazing coverage and great texture! Often, I just dot it on the redness around my nose with the tip of a finger and/or sweep it across my forehead and chin with a fluffy brush, and I'm good to go! I don't even need the foundation! I've gotten compliments and questions ("How come your skin looks so even when you aren't even wearing any makeup? " was my favorite!) about my appearance on a regular basis since I began using it. Another plus, which may be true of mineral products in general is that, even after a late night, I don't come home with my face feeling tight or heavy or "gloppy" like I used to when I used conventional concealers and foundations. It also doesn't seem to migrate or "settle" unflatteringly into facial creases or under the eyes like some other products (you know, when you come home to find extra makeup lodged around the corners of your mouth...). And it doesn't require much to wash it off, I just use my regular facial cleanser and, unless I've also had mascara on, it's just like I was never wearing makeup in the first place. If you have yet to try mineral makeup, I'd highly recommend trying this, you can't beat the price!

The gloss is really shiny without stickiness, the brush is great (it doesn't shed or break apart), the colors all work well alone or over lipstick or liner (yes, I have all the shades!), it has a light, pleasant scent and feel, it lasts, it fits in even my smallest bag or pocket and it's only a dollar. Plus. it gets me a lot of positive attention from men!

When I first used this, the severity and redness of my blemishes were noticeably less the next day! It's not often the claims on acne products are so true. I rarely experience acne anymore now that I use this and the Neutrogena Anti-Stress Foaming Wash. For the rare times (for instance, PMS) that I do get a pimple (wow, "A" pimple...I used to have a face and neck full of acne and blackheads regardless of the time of the month!) or some blackheads, I just dot this on and it clears SO FAST!. I don't use it daily, I don't need to. It's great! Because it has worked so well for me (a 36 year old woman who has has acne since age 9), I have only had to use small amounts, which makes it an even better value for the price.

I've been using this for three months now and my skin rarely has blemishes anymore, even during PMS. I find that if I use it every day, it can be a little bit drying, but not anywhere near as drying as any other product I've ever used. I use it every other day in the shower, and two out of every three days in the week before my period. On the rare occasion that I do feel the beginning of a pimple, or do notice some blackheads (such as when I broke out after trying some sunscreen during my period that was too oily and clogging -- and even this was less severe than my acne had been before the Stress Control Wash), I use it immediately, sometimes in conjunction with the Neutrogena Rapid Clear Moisturizer (which I just dot on the area very sparingly) and by the next day the redness is gone, or the blackheads are cleared. For the price, I cannot stress how great this product is for my skin. Considering that I use it every other day, and that a little goes a long way, it's the most economical acne product I've ever found.
