I do love how natural this body wash is but I can't say it's my favorite. The scents are (mostly) really nice but somehow I don't feel super clean after using it. I really hate to give a review without a more specific description but I've tried this stuff many times over the last few years and reached the same conclusion each time. (I get these as gifts along with the body butter every year. The body butter is really wonderful!)

I can see where other reviewers are coming from when they say that this stuff is too thin, especially if their skin is dry. However, my skin tends to be pretty oily and as a resident of New Orleans (where it is VERY humid) it is not a pretty sight. I've been using this along with Dermalogica clearing wash and together they have worked wonders for my skin. I actually find this stuff so thick that I use a teeny tiny amount and add a little water and apply the diluted lotion to my face. Once a day. It might sound stupid, but it works, my blemishes are gone and my skin has not been dry once.

Honestly, this is my favorite mascara. I liked it better than the other popular brands I tried (including Benefit's Bad Gal Lash AND They're Real). My eyelashes are very thin and are long on their own, so my top priority is an even, volumizing coat without clumps. This mascara does the job but it does kinda smell like ladybugs.

This is my go-to body butter in the wintertime. For the price, it's just about the best body butter you can buy since the ingredients are "natural" and as a result is a great option for those with sensitive skin. It makes my skin really, really soft and it actually stays moisturized for quite some time. Plus, this stuff doesn't make me break out if I use it on my chest. Some of the scents are a little too sweet but some of them are really nice. (I personally don't like fig.)

This is a great and reasonably priced liner. It comes in a LOT of colors. I have Demolition and Perversion, both of which are really pretty. Demolition is not your average dark brown. It has the slightest touch of gold to it if you look really close, whereas most of the browns I've used are more red or black. Very unique in my (somewhat limited) experience! It's also very long-lasting but surprisingly easy to wash off! This particular quality seals the deal for me. This will be my go-to liner the next time I want to buy an interesting color for sure!

Boy I wish I could still afford this stuff. I've had it in brown and black and loved both. I even bought one for my mom and she loved it too. It's smooth, the packaging is great, the color looks great, it lasts all day, etc. If you're looking for a new liner and this one is within your price range, this is a great option.

I got this lip gloss in a sample and really like it. The color (Maverick) is very flattering. It's really creamy for a gloss and it's not gooey like some other glosses are. In all, I really like it (especially since it was free!) but I have a hard time believing it's $18! I'm not very experienced with lip glosses honestly but I'm certain that there must be better options out there at this price.

After using this product regularly for several weeks I absolutely noticed a significant difference. I have the 8 oz bottle and it's lasted for a very long time and has been well worth the money because of that. It doesn't dry out my skin or irritate my eyelids at all and after I wash my face it feels clean but not "squeaky". So glad I tried this!

I really love this eyeliner! I hadn't tried liquid since a liquid eyeliner disaster in middle school but finally decided to be brave and am not disappointed. With very little practice I had evenly applied liner that I could honestly say I liked. The color is great (I have black) but it's very difficult to remove. It's possible that all liquid eyeliners are difficult to remove, though. I'd also like to add that you have to be careful when you close it because it does take a little extra pressure to close it all the way! You'll hear a click when it's closed. I wonder if that's why another reviewer had trouble with them drying out so quickly. I guess I'll find out!

Honestly, one of my favorite things about this product is that it comes in the plastic twist-up tube. I'm not going to lie. I don't mind sharpening pencils but it's an enormous mess a lot of the time and I don't have to deal with any of that when I use these. Anyway, that aside... I have two colors. One is purple tang and the other is stingray. The colors are really vibrant and at the end of the day most of that is still there! It's easy to apply at different pressures, so you can apply it really light or really dark. (However, if your skin is not moisturized it might tug at your eyelid. But I have a hard time believing that a solid eyeliner that was any more "creamy" would last nearly as long!) My only gripe is that I didn't realize that the purple tang was going to be glittery before I bought it. I really love the shade of purple. However, it's REALLY sparkly and the glitter will get on your eyelashes and around your eyes a little! It isn't a big deal at night but for daytime it's pretty.. sparkly. This is totally my own mistake so I haven't deducted any for it but I wanted to include it here so others don't make the same mistake as me!
