I received a sample of this to review, and I can see where it could be a totally awesome for some people, it was just a little much for me. It was way thicker and more moisturizing than I need, I thought it felt a little greasy going on. I didn't notice any tightening kind of feeling, but I would guess that probably happens over an extended period of time. I'm 30, and this is just way more of an intensively hydrating product than I need, even in spite of living in Colorado where my skin tends to get dried out pretty easily. I passed it on to my Mother-In-Law, who loves a good product just as much as I do, just has different needs than me.

I received a sample of these to try, and they felt nice on. I guess if I had to say, I could *possibly* tell a difference in my undereyes after leaving them on for 15 minutes, but it's hard to give a real honest informative review after one use, and that's all that was in the sample, lol. Putting them on was a little tricky because the blue guiding layer didn't separate from the pad without me holding the pad still, but they're easy to shift until you get them in the right spot. I'd be interested to see what would happen with using these over time.

I have fine, straight hair that is easily weighed down and can get noticeably greasy in my bangs and at my roots. I like to use sulfate free products to avoid my scalp overcompensating and producing even MORE oil, but I didn't find this one to be anything special, in spite of it being designed for oily hair. I have also used the Sweet Almond Mint and actually found that it kept my hair looking cleaner by the end of the second day, as I wash my hair every other day. This one also smells like muscle cream, as I heard someone describe it once. Which isn't terrible, just...odd. Overall, I find this to be overpriced for the job it actally does.

So not impressed. I have a Total Effects face wash and moisturizer and I'm happy with both, but not so much these cloths. They do a really good job of taking makeup off, but they make my eyes sting like none other when I do my eyelids. I've used a number of other cloths that didn't bother my eyes at all. Also, soon after I started using these (which I do every other day, and soap and water cleanse on the other days), I noticed that my chin area is breaking out. These are the only thing that changed about my routine, and if you really want to hear about it, it's also not that time of the month! I don't find the cloth itself to be exfoliating compared to some others, and these are also a good bit more expensive, for fewer cloths, than other good ones I have used. Not a keeper.

This stuff makes my hair softer than it has ever been. I never even realized that my hair was dry until I saw how smooth it can be from using Wen. I don't think this formulation is the best one for me, I wash every other day and by the end of the second day my roots and bangs are noticeably greasy. It actually got aggravating to the point that I went back to a conventional shampoo and conditioner for a couple washes, but YIKES. It felt like I was abusing my hair in the process of washing and rinsing, because Wen is so gentle and just smoothes really easily through my hair. After I finish my 32 oz of this, I'm going to try the cucumber aloe and see if it's a better match for me, but even though this one isn't perfect I don't know that I'll ever go back to regular shampoo after feeling my hair in the condition it's in now.

This lotion is fabulous. It smells so yummy but is not overpowering or fake, and it smells a tiny bit like pineapple too. It's more of a cream than a lotion, the consistency is really thick. And a little goes a long way, I totally overdid it the first time I used it, and it takes a little longer to rub it all in, but that's not unusual for more natural products. The price is right too. Love :-)

I bought this in the purple and used it once, with decent results. It didn't crack quite as well as I hoped, but it was ok. But then a couple months later when I went to use it again, I opened the bottle and it was almost completely dried up, the brush was stuck in this weird curve shape and the polish was almost unusable. I know I had closed the bottle tight. I poured a tiny bit of polish remover in and shook it up to thin it out, but the crackle results were still far from awesome. And I bet it's all dried out and funky again.

This mascara is pretty decent for the price. I have to really layer it on to get a really intense look, but one coat of it is a more subtle touch and good for every day. It's a little clumpy coming out, but not terribly. I also like that it comes off in the shower with just water, which saves me a step, and I've never had problems with it running otherwise.

First of all, it's important to note that this is a deodorant only, not an antiperspirant. I switched from using antiperspirant to deodorant because antiperspirant has some pretty dangerous stuff in it, especially for us ladies to be applying so close to our breasts. Any time you make that switch, your body goes through a pretty stinky detox process that can last a couple months, while your body gets rid of all the nasty stuff from the antiperspirant you've been using. This product will NOT keep you dry if you rely on an antiperspirant. This product also didn't have what it took to get me through my detox period without just completely offending everybody around me. I found a Bubble and Bee product that was more effective while I detoxed. Now though, this product is really good for me. It keeps the stinkies away and smells great. It's a little gummy after you apply it, especially if it gets on your clothes, but overall it's a good product.
