All moisturizers with sunscreen leave my reactive skin with a burning, stinging rash...except this one. The Feverfew (in same family as Chamomile) must have calmed my skin while leaving it soft and moisturized. I'm very impressed. And it actually turned my husband's sunburn on his bald head and my daughter's sunburn on her thighs from red to tan. After they burned! No peeling! It's a cream for the whole family!

I usually use the Big Flipper Zoya remover but I wanted a little itty bitty bottle to use conveniently in the living room. The OPI for Sephora bottle was it. It provided great removal of freshly accidental swipes but for older, dry polish, not so. With older polish i had to rub pretty hard, especially with my dark polish atop base coat.I'd get the same results from the cheap drug store remover.

Keeping this cool spray on a table beside me makes me feel rejuvenated just thinking about it. I close my eyes and mist my face several times a day. If I'm wearing make-up or even if I'm not, my face feels cool and refreshed for a few measly bucks. It doesn't irritate my reactive skin either. I've had the spray for over a week and I mist it over my face 3 or 4 times a day and since 2 bottles came in the package, I say it's a worthy luxury.

If you have members of the family with skin issues, this castille soap shouldn't cause reactions. My daughter gets hives if I use typical store-brand laundry detergent and insect repellent and I have reactionary skin. We use the lavender soap for laundry and repellent and peppermint for other cleaning jobs. I keep a spray bottle with each in the garage. The key is figuring out the correct soap-water ratio and it's always surprising how much water you use. It lasts and lasts.

I honestly love this lip gloss and own several. I think the fig smell and taste might be part of it. But with the gloss, you don't HAVE to put on color if you don't mind just a hint of color. I own Praline, Sugarcane, and Honey Glaze. The Honey Glaze can go over any color lipstick as it has very little nude color and Praline is a cool peachy gloss, terrific on its own. It costs more than a drugstore brand, just slightly, but I think it is worth it.

Since I react negatively to sunscreen in face cream like many people with sensitive skin, I was excited to get this sample of REN's spf-free cream. It's pretty thick so if you have oily skin, it may be somewhat heavy for you. Since I turned forty my skin went from normal to dry so it doesn't feel too heavy to me; in fact, because of the thick consistency, this sample has already provided three uses. Maybe the high price is really not that high after all in the long run. But I did take a star off because the price is a hefty chunk of change at the initial purchase.

Although somewhat pricey, this toner is awesome! It's cool, refreshing, and nonirritating. It feels luxurious when used with a cotton ball because it feels like liquid silk. It feels creamy and moisturizing, and it removed all remaining make up and grime left after cleansing my face. If you have the money to spend on this toner, go for it!

Oh my gosh! I got a sample of this cream cleanser from Sephora and am thrilled with the results. I just dipped my finger in the sample jar and washed my face in warm water. The cream's chamomile, willow herb, and jojoba must be soothing for reactive skin because it didn't irritate at all and I'm somewhat timid about trying new things on my face because I usually DO react to everything. After drying my face too, I noticed my skin was like velvet So smooth. So soft. The only down side was the price. But...With the amount I used to wash my face one time, the sample will probably last all week. The 26 dollar bottle would last for months. Great find!

I agree with another reviewer who said aside from the unpleasant smell, this product is great! It initially smells like the grease my dad used in his hair when I grew up in the 70's but the scent dissipates fast. When I mist this over my freshly-washed air-dried hair, my natural curl just springs to life. Like a leave-in conditioner, it moisturizes and softens my curls. No frizz!

I tried the "Dolly" at Sephora and I actually bought "Dolly" and "Gabby." The Coffee/Chocolate Mint flavor makes you feel like you have just consumed a luscious treat. The feel is moisturizing, smooth, and cool. The look is glossy and natural. "Dolly" probably looks great on anyone and is a natural color. "Gabby" is a darker plummy brown color - looks great on me! ~ 4/14/11 Being a lipgloss addict,I have tried and purchased many glosses. This gloss is the only one I repeatedly purchase. It'sis sheer so it changes the color of whatever you're already wearing, like a lipstick shade or a neutral Chapstick. It's moisturizing, tingly cool, and not sticky. I have BETTY, GABBY, and VANESSA.On a brunette with fair skin, all of these colors look fabulous.
