I bought this hoping to find an inexpensive bubble bath with a nice fragrance. It produced a lot of bubbles, and the scent was pretty, but I thought the fragrance was a little too faint. I like more of an aromatic bath experience, and this gel fell a little short. Still, it was a good value--I might buy it again if it was on sale, but it's not one of my must-have products.

There is simply nothing I would change about these makeup remover pads. This is hands-down the best eye makeup remover I have ever used. The pads are very gentle and don't irritate my eye area or leave me with blurry vision like almost every other product I've tried. They don't leave any greasy residue, but they are still nicely moisturizing (I think this is a rare combination for eye makeup removers). On top of all that, they are also really effective. I didn't have to rub much to get all the makeup off, and the results passed the towel test--no black mascara streaks left on my towel after washing my face. Awesome!

I had never tried Korres products before, but I use a lot of natural brands so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered a trio of "summer cocktail" scented shower gels and was very excited to try them out. I just tried the Vanilla Daquiri fragrance....YUCK! It smelled absolutely awful. Nothing even remotely resembling vanilla nor daiquiri. It reeked like old lady potpourri. I got a second opinion from my husband, who agreed that it was downright nasty. I'm almost afraid to try the other two scents in the pack. I give it a couple of stars because there was nothing wrong with its effectiveness as a body cleanser, but the fragrance was so unpleasant that I am stronly considering throwing the rest of the bottle away.

I like this mascara, but I wouldn't really call it volumizing. It goes on smoothly without clumping, has a nice glossy color, and stays in place without flaking or smearing. However, it didn't do much to thicken or volumize--it coated my lashes pretty thinly. I would call it more of a lengthening/glossing formula. It's actually a nice mascara and I would consider purchasing it in the future, but if you are going for the super-thick, false eyelashes look, I don't think this would do the trick.

I tried the Orange Freeze variety, and I was really disappointed. The scent was really faint, which was not what I expected. Worse still, it didn't work at all as a bubble bath! It stained the water bright orange, but hardly made any bubbles at all. I've been using it as a body wash, which is fine, but I'm still disappointed by the lack of scent. I haven't tried it as a shampoo--it seems like the intense orange dye would be a bad idea for blonde highlights.

I tried this when I couldn't get my regular lid primer, and it was essentially garbage. It wasn't any better than using no primer at all--my eyeshadow was horribly creased by lunchtime. The only reason I gave it a couple of stars was that I used it without shadow on days when I didn't put on full makeup, and it improved the look of my bare lids when I first put it on. However, the primer itself creased like crazy by the end of the day. I like a lot of Origins products, but this primer is worthless.

I got this as a sample and it works like a charm. My eyeshadow doesn't smear or crease, even by the end of the day. It's totally worth the extra step in my makeup regimen--it makes a HUGE difference in how my eyeshadow looks and lasts. Nothing else holds a candle to it in my book.

I have long, straight, fine hair, so when my stylist put this in my hair, I was really skeptical. However, it made my hair so soft and shiny that I went right out and bought a bottle to use at home. I just put a little in the ends of my damp hair before blowdrying. It detangles, shines, and leaves a nice mild fragrance. Great stuff!

I have mild to moderate acne and have been using the Proactiv system in combination for several years. It really works well and is high quality. I use the repairing lotion once a day, and it really helps to keep breakouts at bay. It's mild enough that it doesn't dry me out too much--I have combination skin so I just apply the lotion in the T-zone to avoid unwanted drying. It feels nice on the skin and doesn't have much of a fragrance. Keep in mind that it isn't intended to be a moisturizer, though. I just use it as a treatment product and then apply a regular moisturizer on top of it.

I was round-brush-phobic for quite a while, but finally worked up the nerve to try one of these Aveda brushes. It has made a huge difference in the way my hair looks. They conduct heat well enough to add a nice curl, but don't get so hot that they burn the skin (like some brushes I've had). I haven't had any trouble with my long hair getting tangled in the brush, either. I also love the fact that it's made from Earth-friendly recycled materials. Well worth the price!
