This is a great gentle makeup remover and cleanser. It does a great job of removing mascara, foundation, etc. Plus it leaves my skin feeling clean but not dried out. The only bad thing I have to say is that it is a bit pricey but even then I think that it is worth the price! Sometimes I use this as a cleanser in the morning but I tend to reach for it the most in the evening so that I can remove makeup and cleanse at the same time.

I live in a dry climate so I try to find rich moisturizers. This is a bit too thick for oily skin or humid weather, but if you are looking for moisture this is a great cream. It absorbs well and goes on smoothly leaving the skin around my eyes feeling moisturized and soft. It has a lovely gentle scent and is a great option for someone looking to add more natural products into their skin routine.. As far as eye creams go, I'd say it is a good value and I like it when eye creams come in pots because it is easier to get every last bit of it out.

This is the lip sunscreen that I reach for when I'm going to be out in the sun all day long. Most lip balms are SPF 15 or less so it is nice to get a higher SPF, waterproof lip balm. It is waxy so I don't use it for everyday but I don't need that much sun protection for everyday. The smell and taste aren't overpowering and it is pretty inexpensive. Overall a good deal for outdoorsy types.

This is a nice balm with SPF. It isn't as moisturizing as non-SPF balms, but I'd say it is one of the better sunscreen balms. They aren't really flavored, but the scent is really nice. I find they go on smoothly but are a bit waxy and I like that they use organic ingredients. I usually pop one in my bag for the beach but don't really use this one for everyday.

This definitely was moisturizing, but I felt like it left something in my hair. My hair was soft but it didn't feel as smooth. I don't know if I'll buy another bottle of this because it is a bit pricey for an okay conditioner and the smell is a bit synthetic but at least it isn't as bad as the shampoo. I think it would work better on long, dry, fine hair Still, it is a good conditioner, just not for me.

First, all of my fragrance reviews are based on packaging, length of wear and value since everyone prefers different scents and perfumes work differently with different body chemistries. That being said, this has a nice non-citrus fruit scent with some woodsy tones. The scent lasts fairly long, with the bottom notes lasting throughout most of my day including through a workout. The bottle is gorgeous and is just fun to hold and admire. The price is a bit up there, but not exorbitant. Overall a lovely fragrance.

This is a bit thick and waxy for everyday use so I tend to only use it when I'm swimming or hiking. The cap has a hole in it and a string. I removed the string and put it on a key ring attached to a carabiner so that I could attach it easily to a belt loop or on the outside of my backpack for easy access to it. I like it for sun protection. It has a light, fresh scent and flavor of vanilla and mint.

This body wash has a decent lather and does a fine job cleaning. It feels like a drugstore brand wash with fancier scents. It is however quite pricey for what it is. I don't know if I would buy it again since I usually expect a little something extra from pricey body washes like moisturizing, or the ability to also be used as a shampoo or something.

These are lovely hand soaps with some great scents that feel fresh and clean. I like coriander and the ginger lemon. There is olive oil in them and so I find them slightly moisturizing. Not to the point that I never need lotion, but they are nice in the kitchen if I'm washing my hands often. My favorite part is the scent though. A bit pricey for soap.
