I really wanted to love this eyeshadow. The colors are great, very flattering. After trying the gray/smoky trio, my eyes became very irritated and itchy with pink capillaries in the whites of the eyes. I tried to leave it on for a few hours hoping it would go away but all it did was make my eyes squinty with that feeling that you really wanna close them to relieve yourself, which gave me a headache. So I gave this trio to my mom, who then got such a bad reaction to them that she had to take antibiotics. ANd no I did not buy this trio from a bootleg source. She says she also had a similar problem with another LORAC eyeshadow and will never use it again. No clue what the irritating ingredient is but hopefully in the future they eliminate it because otherwise the shadows are very nice looking on the eye.

Sad to say I spent alot of money on this shampoo hoping it would be a good natural alternative on my highlighted hair. However, 2 seconds in I felt like my wet shampooed hair had dried out to the point of feeling like straw and became so tangled that it was hard to even rinse everything out. Safe to say this product should NOT be used on colored hair - I do not need to add MORE dryness and damage to my hair. Who knows, maybe this will work great on very oily hair that hasn't been colored. Smell is nice though, shame I really can't use it.

Has a pretty strong herbal woodsy scent. Feels very refreshing on the scalp. Haven't noticed major difference in growth.

I do not think this gloss is particularly special and definitely not deserving of its price range. Got the color Voluptuous, description said it is a SALMON color, however I'd say it's a basic nude, nothing salmon about it. Gives your average sheen to the lips, is not sticky. I expected something different than your average gloss for this price.

THe thing that stands out about these lipsticks right away is the texture - it's almost a mousse, goes on light but you can still layer and it's weird but after a few minutes you really forget that you have lipstick on. It somehow manages to create a non makeup feeling, until you pass by a mirror and realize Oh my lips have color on them! Not drying but I wouldn't go as far as to say that they hydrate. Colors are pretty universal but one of them is definitely not my cup of tea (I feel it gives a very unflattering cast to my face, too dark). Overall something different from your average lipstick and doesn't hurt to try, especially if u find a deal.

THis is actually a dry powder that you're supposed to mix with water or rosewater to make a paste. You can use as a scrub exfoliating treatment or keep longer on face like a mask, in which case it will still exfoliate. The product is marketed for its pineapple enzymes and there is a light pineapple smell there. It leaves the skin really soft and at the same time removes those little buildups in the skin so that it feels alot smoother. I love to use it on my forehead and nose, where I tend to get oil debris at the end of the day. And of course it's great to support fully organic products, I recommend!

I have tended to use this spray on my face during plane rides - alot of sources always preach about the dry dehydrating air on the plane and how you should moisturize it or spray with a mist, such as this one. Very strong woodsy refreshing scent (I liked it, some might not). Sprays out a lot of product in 1 swoop so be ready for your face to get drenched. I prob wouldn't repurchase for the price - this is one of those products that I will use up till the end but don't think it's special enough for me to come back and repurchase.

THis balm is really a BALM, not your regular eye cream. It leans toward being solid so you have to scrape off a piece and rub it with your fingertips a bit at first. Absorbs nicely into the eyes, great chamomile smell. It's very yellow though so only to be used in the evenings before bed. I have found that after using this balm, my concealer goes on more smoothly in the morning.

This is a different combination of oils used to cleanse the face, however the directions do recommend that you use another cleansing product after this. This oil has no particular smell. You rub it into your face with no water to loosen your makeup and soften the skin (says to avoid eye area so it's not a total makeup remover). The directions also compare this to a japanese ritual where you massage the face in different pressure points. After I tried the pressure points, the experience does seem more luxurious and spa-like. Don't rub this oil into the face but softly run it over your skin. Wash off with water and then follow with another face cleanser - I use liquid soap made of goat milk. This completes the cleansing process. Results are great!

AMazing essential oil smell. Very nice combination of different essential oils. Nice softening effect on the skin. Have not tried this on the body, but for the price, I'd save this for face usage only.
