This is a nice, basic bronzer. I have pale skin and it looks very natural. It goes on smoothly without streaking, and provides buildable color so you can customize it (more color in summer, less in winter, etc). I remember reading that it was supposed to smell great, and I didn't get that at all--actually kind of smelled old lady-ish, but it was very faint so it didn't really bother me. I would definitely purchase this again.

I tried a sample of this, thinking it would be really mild and good for sensitive skin (like Cetaphil cleanser). It made my face sting horribly, and it wasn't even that moisturizing. I gave it a couple of tries just to be sure, then ended up using the rest as hand cream because I couldn't stand to put it on my face.

I was worried that this would be too food-like when I ordered it, but my fears were totally unfounded. It smells so great that I can't stop sniffing! It's coconutty but doesn't make you smell like a cupcake. Awesome!

I love the Pacifica brand and was excited to try out their body wash, but I was rather disappointed by it. The fragrance was really faint--I was looking for a more aromatic shower experience. I also found it a little too low-lathering. I understand that it doesn't have harsh bubble-producing detergents, which is good for my skin, but I still like a little lather on my loofah. At least it was an effective cleanser and didn't dry my skin. I may give some of the other fragrances a try (I used the Malibu Lemon Blossom), but for the price, I expected more fragrance in the product.

I had never tried a cleansing oil before, so I was a little skeptical, but I loved this product! I was having a nasty bout of dry skin (unusual for me) after a round-trip flight to Europe, and this cleanser really helped balance my skin. I thought it would be heavy and greasy, but it smelled nice, felt refreshing, and rinsed clean without leaving a residue. I look forward to using this soothing cleanser all winter long.

I like the other verbena products in this line, but the conditioner had an underlying odor of skunk! It was so awful I couldn't continue to use it.

My husband has been using this product for a few years, and I recently borrowed some while we were on vacation. I loved it! It's a gel, but it has an awesome , almost creamy consistency. It glides on easily and a little goes a long way. It foams up satisfyingly but isn't at all drying. It was also strong enough to remove thick sunscreen residue. The fragrance is masculine of course, but I didn't mind it. Great product!

I'm always on the lookout for good vegan lip balms, so I was really excited to try this one by Tarte. The packaging is cute and clever, but the product itself is subpar. I found the exfoliator hard to use--I expected it to leave a layer of scrub on my lips, but it just kind of rubbed back and forth without leaving anything behind. I didn't notice that it had much of a softening effect. The balm was even more disappointing. It had a very waxy texture, and it didn't feel anywhere near moisturizing enough. I have had to apply it repeatedly before bed, and I still wake up in the night with uncomfortably parched lips. I apply it before I leave for work, and I have to use another balm as soon as I get to my desk. Not a fan.

This was the first Jurlique product I've ever tried, and I wasn't overly impressed. The texture of the product was OK--it was creamy and felt moisturizing when it was applied, but it didn't seem to absorb into the skin as easily as some creams, and it wasn't as thick as I would have liked. However, I didn't care for the scent. It had an old-lady-ish herbal fragrance that I didn't enjoy. I didn't feel like it was deeply moisturizing or had long-lasting effects: my eye area felt dry later in the day. Overall it wasn't bad, and I will probably use up the rest of the tube, but I'll probably keep looking for something I like better.

This is one of my favorite highlighters. It's a flattering color, applies easily with a small brush, and blends easily. Works great with the other Bare Minerals products. I use it on my cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, and under the brow arches. A container lasts a really long time, so it's a good value.
