Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes
The Best Gentle Face Wash
This is simply the best face wash I've used. It's gentle but it gets all my makeup off, even the mascara. It rinses clean and smells great. My husband even loves it and his skin is much more sensitive than mine. I'll keep using this as long as they keep making it.

This concealer is among the best beauty products I have ever used. It is one of the very rare concealers that doesn't cake or settle into lines and smooths out to a very natural finish. I keep coming back to it over and over again. For my money, one of the best products in the entire EA line.

After using a variety of reconstructors to keep my fine, color-treated hair from exploding, I have to say that K-Pak deserves its legendary status. It smells awesome, just like bananas, and though the texture is really weird it will leave your hair smooth and wonderful and with a surprising amount of strength and volume. I often follow up with a silicone conditioner if I want a very smooth look, but nothing beats this for keeping hair in top condition no matter what the circumstances.

This is among my favorite things in the world and it single-handedly turned me from a patchouli-hater to a patchouli-lover. Lush put just the right dose in here, and it does cleanse extremely well and rinse clean. The scent is fantastic if you love foresty/woodsy/earthy fragrances. It is strongly colored and will leave stains on tubs and counters if you are not careful.

This is a lovely scent and even smells better during use than in the bottle. A fresh, woodsy/herbal fragrance. Unfortunately, this stuff is very runny and I prefer a slightly thicker texture for shower gel. This would be a "10" if not for the texture problems.

First off, get a sample. You may seriously hate the extremely natural earthy/mossy fragrance of this shampoo. I have grown to love it but it took dedication, and I use a very pleasant-smelling conditioner, which helps. I have fine, color-treated hair and this shampoo does a wonderful job of cleansing without stripping color and seems to add some bounce to my otherwise bodyless hair. Honestly, I don't think my hair has ever looked better, so I'll continue to buy. It's expensive, but it's concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

I have this in Gerbera, which looks way too bright in the compact but goes on like a flush of sunny color on my fair skin. It's just enough and the consistency is perfect. Not too sheer, not too thick. A compact of this stuff lasts forever. I don't like it as a lipstick but as a cream blush and all-over color base, it's wonderful. I also like the camellia color.

I use this in 4.0 and it is by far the best haircolor I've used, and it's dirt cheap! I switched from permanent color to demi in order to reduce damage to my fine hair. I used Clairol for years and this year switched to Color Charm based on positive reviews elsewhere. I am thrilled with the quality of the color depth and have had no problems with the shade selection (I've tried two, both were lovely) or with the staying power of the color. It lasts longer on me than 28 washes, for sure, but I also don't use any product in my hair and I rarely blow dry. If you're thinking of a progressive change using quality demi-permanent color, this is definitely one to consider. (Don't forget, you have to buy the demi-perm activator as well, but both products will last for several colorings.)

This is an outstanding moisturizer/protectant/anti-itch cream. I use it as a night cream to reduce inflammantion from the use of topical retinoids and I have never found anything that worked as well. It has a pleasant, natural scent and is substantial without being greasy. Perfect for skin that is sensitive or prone to flakiness. Among the products I will not be without.

I've been reading the hype about this mascara for years, and I really expected the end-all, be-all when I finally got around to buying it. No doubt, it's a good mascara, but there are some problems. The brush is so fat that I have a hard time getting good, even coverage on my short lashes. It does last and last, but I prefer brushes with better separation and definition. All in all, I think Cover Girl Lash Blast and Volume Exact do a better job and cost less than half. If you really need to spend $23 on a mascara, this is the one to look for.
