When the product descriptions say that it smells like a campfire, they're not lying, It smell STRONGLY like a campfire. I got my first bar in the mail and it stunk up our whole mail room, the car, my doorm room, my boyfriend's apartment, and finally only his bathroom. The good news is, the longer you use it, the more that smell fades. It doesn't linger too bad in your hair either, especially not after it's dry. Also if you use a strongly scented conditioner, it does an almost perfect job of covering it up. As for how the product works, I personally think the smell is worth it. I suffer from a HORRIBLY flaky scalp, that just gets worse when I'm stressed. This cleared everything up in three uses and I noticed a difference after the first use! minus one star for making everything smell like a campfire though, lol

I was reeeally skeptical about how slathering oil on my acne prone skin was supposed to be a good idea, but I gave it a try and it's been amazing. Definitely don't skip rinsing it off well with a warm to hot washcloth and toning to remove the excess, if you don't the oils can be a bad thing. If you're sure to get all the cleanser off your face though, it works REALLY well. Love this stuff! Currently I've been putting it on before getting ready for my showers, then washing it off with a mild exfoliator in the shower, I love what that does for my face!

The only reason this face bar didn't get a full 10 stars from me is that it is really drying. However, if I moisturize afterwards it doesn't seem to be a huge issue for me. I don't know if it's the calomine lotion in it that does so much for my face, or what, but I use the bar every night and it really evens out redness and minimizes the appearances of any spots really well. Some people mention being annoyed by it leaving a pink film behind on their face. I've used it for MONTHS and never once have had this problem. I rinse well with warm water and never see a trace of anything coming off when I'm toning, so I don't know if maybe that's a water condition issue or what?

however, I have skin that's really oily in some places and fairly normal, bordering on dry in others and I find that this helps even it out and isn't too drying. In fact I use this one in the morning because I can count on it not being drying enough to turn my face into an oil slick under my makeup by lunch. It takes a little getting used to, using a bar for your face, but it really lasts forever and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in my skin since I started using it. Some people have mentioned the smell, I honestly don't notice enough of a smell to think that it could sway people one way or the other/

Finally! A moisturizer with SPF 15 this is light enough and CHEAP enough for me to use on a daily bases. I bought a huge pump bottle of this months ago for aroung $7 and it's going to last me a while longer still. My skin is just a touch dry in places and this helps even things out. Me being as pale as I am, I really love that it's got an SPF to it too, all for a really reasonable price.

I love these. They foam up really nicely, leave my skin feeling nice and soft, and there's always a scent to fit my mood! Great price when they're having one of their semi-annual sale!

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Lotion
Hand sanitizer that won't turn your hands into a desert!
This product is actually one of my favorite the Bath and Body Works has ever come up with. I have a really poor immune system and am constantly sanitizing my hands before I eat or after I touch things that I think are exceptionally germy. Under normal circumstances that would lead to really, really dry hands! This solves that problem though. The only slight downside to this though is that because of the ati bacterial gel in the lotion, it's a little watery and can leave hands a little slick if you aren't careful about how much you use.

My mother has always been a cover girl woman, and I can remember her putting make up on me for school pictures and family portraits and haaaating the smell of it. For the LONGEST time I stayed away from all the liquid formulas because of that. I finally decided to give the fragrance free version a try and I really like it! It has no yucky smell,covers well, blends well, doesn't dry too quickly to blend, but at the same time it doesn't take forever to dry. It's not too greasy not too drying. All around it's a good medium between everything, easy to use, and a great price.

I love this stuff and have been using it since it first came out when I was in junior high. It's really great for mornings when I really just want to run out the door with nothing on my face, but feel like my face isn't looking good enough to do that. It's a really quick, one step process and can also be the base for a more involved makeup routine. It really does live up to it's hype. It will cover a lot of facial imperfections, and what it doesn't completely cover it certainly makes much less noticeable!

This isn't nearly as full coverage as the packaging implies that it would be. It won't cover spots, under eye circles, or any other things you might want your foundation to be able to conceal. However, if you've just looking for something light to help even out skin tone this is great. I actually use this as the third layer when I'm doing a really full face for a special event. A heavier, more full coverage foundation first (covergirl clean makeup, fragrance-free actually), then my concealer stick to cover up anything the foundation missed, blend and then finish with this. It gives me a really nice, flawless finish!
