This cream is an absolute luxury for your skin. It hydrates without being greasy, it smells divine, and even the driest skin turns into soft as silk. It doesn't take much to work and with how big the containers are fairly large, so this actually lasts quite a while. I often get this as a gift for others, and they then ask for it every birthday and holiday afterward.

I love to use this in combination with their microexfoliant. It leaves my skin incredibly soft and smooth and is great at taking care of redness and irritation after a rough skin day. It's clean rinsing and takes off waterproof makeup without massive scrubbing or taking a lot of time. The smell isn't bad and goes away after it's rinsed off. If you like the scent of other Origins products, this falls in line with those. If you want a great natural cleanser, this is a great one to try. Best part is that every time I have shopped at Origins they love to add free stuff to your bag. They'll even do a mini facial and make up application so you can have a chance to try their products.

I have brown eyes and started out with the lightest version of the Play Up kits. Maybe it was my fair skin, but no matter how light I put on the purple shadows, they made me look like I was either the tirdest person in the world or like I was recovering from a nose job. The darker set was not any better. I tried the other sets and actually had more success with the hazel and green eye kits (based on compliments). I really do like how well the shadow applies, blends and wears, and I love the coordinating products. I just wish they would add a little more variety in their colors.

I have this in the blues quad and am really impressed. Finally mainstream makeup that isn't pearlized or shimmer overload! The colors go on great with just a tiny bit of shimmer, enough to make your eyes shine. It's incredibly blendable and surprisingly long lasting, even if you don't wear a primer. I have brown eyes and got tired of the typical purple shades that most companies put out with their eye color specific lines. Best part about this blue palate is that it's really subtle. The last bar is actually a darker greyish blue and can take this palate from blues to greys in a snap and actually compliment my eyes really well. Don't let the low price fool you into thinking this is a cheesy product. The only bummers are the dinky brushes that come with it and the crumble factor. If you drop this, even from a short height, the shadows tend to shatter. Otherwise, this stuff is great.

Got this for the hubby. I love the smell, he didn't. He did like how his skin felt, though. He likes the woodsy, patchouli type of scents, but this one was too "green" for him. When I pointed out that it smelled like his other stuff, he smelled it again and now likes it. Men..... I have used this and was pretty happy with how well it cleaned and didn't dry out my skin.

I love the cleanser that is part of this makeup remover. Other oil inclusive removers or baby oil tend to leave a film on your eyes, and for me that causes a lot of irritation and actual breakouts on my eyelids. The Lancome makeup remover just leaves my eyelids feeling soft but not oily. And I never have to worry about not getting off all the makeup - this stuff takes it off in a hurry. Just remember to shake the bottle or else this cleanser does not work that well.

I am not a big fan of these wipes, but they do when nothing else is available. The texture of the cloths is rather rough, and if I use them around my eye area, my eyes become really red and irritated. I do like how well they clean, but the irritation they cause kind of cancels that out for me.

I like these wipes for those nights when I am just too tired to go through the whole nighttime beauty routine. They are pretty effective at removing makeup, even waterproof mascara, quickly and without leaving your skin feeling slimy or sticky. The exfoliation is gentle and the cloths themselves are also soft and don't irritate skin, even around the eye area. The sticky tab closure no longer works about half way through the pack so I have to put the rest in a ziploc baggie to keep them from drying out.

I adore the entire Mustela line. I use their cleanser for my face and have the best skin I have had in years. I use this moisturizer for hands and feet with amazing results. Dry skin doesn't stand a chance no matter if it is eczema, psoriasis, or just plain dry skin. It also has the most wonderful scent - a bit like baby powder but not so much that people will think you are wearing Johnson's pink baby lotion. If you or anyone has dry skin that hasn't responded to any other lotion, get THIS.

I wasn't sure about this shampoo after pouring it into my hand and it coming out of the bottle like water instead of thicker and slower like most shampoos. I thought that maybe someone had used then returned after filling up bottle with water, but that's the way this shampoo is. After a few unsure seconds, all worries were gone. Good lather, nice scent and clean rinsing. I used with the same brand conditioner and am VERY happy with how my hair turned out. Very light and bouncy instead of heavy and hard to dry. I think this shampoo is a keeper, though it would be better if the formula were thicker. It's hard not to loose a good bit of the product down the drain.
