When it comes to "green" products, some aren't worth what you pay for them or aren't all that "green". This shower gel is so not in that category! It's 90% natural, it smells awsome (I have Fig and Basil+Lemon), leaves no soapy residue and is nondrying. It doesn't take much to get a poof scrubber full of suds, so my bottles have lasted quite some time. It's not 100% natural since it still contains sodium laurel sulfate (foaming agent that can be irritating to some), but considering all the synthetic junk on the market, I will stick with Korres!

I have this in the Basil + Lemon scent, and think I have finally found my HG body lotion. This stuff goes on and is absorbed immediately. It leaves behind such a great scent that is natural but not overpowering, edible or cloying like most other lotions. Even in just about a week of use my normally dry, horrible, flaky legs are so smooth and soft that I may finally try self tanner! I like to use this lotion with the shower gel. People often ask what I am wearing because it smells so good!

Forget the fact that this lotion is geared towards men. If you have dry hands and get hangnails because of it, this lotion is the BOMB. Since it is for men, it is on the more earthy side when it comes to scent. It's almost like herbs with eucalyptus but not in a bad way and it fades pretty quickly. It absorbs very fast instead of sitting on your skin, so results are seen in just a few uses. Since it doesn't leave any greasy or slippery feel like many lotions can you are able to apply it and get right back to whatever you were doing.

I love this polish. With typical application (2 coats between a bottom and top coat) it lasts for about a week. If I remember to put on another top coat every few days, I can extend it to the 10 promised days without any chips. I do a lot of typing and was surprised that got as good of wear as I did. It also doesn't stain my nails or cuticles, even the dark colors. I have the dark purple shade, and after two coats the color was solid and no streaks - just pure, deep color. Love it!! The only drawback is the limited color palette.

This I got on a whim when it was on clearance from Rite-Aid. Am I so glad I did. This makes my fine, thin hair very full, bouncy and shiny and amazingly easy to style. My round brush glides through my hair with no tangles when I blow dry. Best part is there is no sticky, greasy or slick residue that some other silicone-based products can have. The scent is nice and fades pretty quick so it doesn't compete with any scent you choose to wear.

I was kind of surprised when I saw that perfume was the third or fourth ingredient, but you really can tell when you open the cap. It's a little overwhelming as you put it on. This toner is also pretty strong due to a good bit of alcohol in it - don't exfoliate before using this or be ready for the burn! I have been using my sample size, and may trade in my full size for the moisturizing toner as it doesn't have alcohol.

I really like the false eyelash effect this gives me - lush, thick, flirty lashes. Problem is the brush is too big for my liking. It was hard to maneuver and get to the little lashes at the corners of my eyes or close to my lash line. It took longer than normal to apply, but I love the end result. It stayed on fairly well (I have the non-waterproof) and came off easily.

I have this in Tea Time and it gives just the perfect hint of color when applied. Perfect for a low key natural look or for any time you don't want they heaviness of lipstick but just want a little color. It works great over lipstick too if you want to change your color just a bit. The tube is small, but a little goes a long way, so be careful not to apply it too heavy like you might with regular lip balm.

I love the shine and hint of color this applies after use, but I hate the nasty sticky feeling it leaves on my hair when I use it as directed. It makes it impossible to style my hair and I end up washing it again to get rid of the greasy, lank, sticky feeling that is left in my hair. I have gotten some success if I mix a small bit of glaze with my conditioner. I don't end up with the gross hair, still get the color boost, but I do loose a some of the shine. I wish this stuff wasn't such a pain to use. Best bet? Stick with a shine booster and/or temporary color from Herbal Essences.

I used this for the first time today, and I don't think I will ever go back to my old shine/smoothing serum again. My hair is so soft and shiny, but it held its shape for most of the day (even in the rain), and with my other shine/smoothing serums this has never happened because they made my hair so slick. Best part? It doesn't feel like I have ANY product on my hair which is a BIG change from the salon and store bought ones I have used before. My hair dries in mere minutes and there is no chemical smell to mingle with my perfume. Love it, love it, love it!!
