I was hesitant about trying Urban Decay's powders because the prices tend to be higher than I like to pay. But Sephora brand stopped making my perfect shade, so I gave Urban a try. I wanted their finishing powder (love), but Boston Sephora told me they were out of my color and wouldn't be getting more, so I purchased this one in Light Warm. Short story? I'm hooked. The shade is perfect on my fair skin and they make 14 shades total in various neutral, warm, and cool tones. I prefer a very light coverage which is easy to get with this powder, but you could just as easily build for more coverage if that's what you like. It's a very fine powder that blends perfectly into skin. I can wear it with or without primer and it looks fantastic at the end of the day. The application sponge that comes with it is soft and easy to use, though the representative in store tested it on me with a foundation brush and that worked beautifully, too (if you're into that--I'm lazy). I like the design of the compact--it's very shiny and pretty, except that it's a little long to fit easily into my makeup case. I can make it work, but I liked the square design of the finishing powder compact better than this wider rectangular one. This is only a minor issue. Ultimately this is an incredibly high quality product that is worth every penny they're charging for it and I am sure I will purchase again for as long as they keep making it.

These shadows are some of the best you can find anywhere. They are soft, but not too flaky. The shades are highly pigmented, blend beautifully every time, and wear all day without creasing--especially when used with the Urban Decay Primer Potion. They make so many shades there's definitely something for everyone. They really know what they're doing when it comes to eye shadow and I cannot recommend these enough!

I can definitely agree with the comments made by the other reviewers--there is really nothing special about this shampoo. I have very short hair that gets trimmed frequently, so all I'm looking for in a shampoo is something that smells nice and doesn't cost a small fortune. Since Garnier is sold at the bulk store in a pump bottle, I go for it. And it does smell nice! It lathers up well and gets my hair clean, but otherwise it really doesn't do anything special, so if you have longer hair or your hair has any damage at all, I'd recommend skipping this one.

This cleanser is quite pricey, but it's worth every penny. I also only need a tiny dot, so that expensive bottle lasts me several months. For my skin--fair, oily, acne prone--this cleanser is perfection. I've tried several times to change to something less expensive and every time I come back to this. And every time I come back? I notice a SIGNIFICANT improvement in my skin. My skin tone becomes more even and I have a lot less breakouts. And the few breakouts I still get are smaller and don't last as long as with other cleansers. I don't wear heavy makeup--some primer and a light coverage powder foundation--so I find that it removes my makeup without any trouble. But because this product works so well with my skin type, I don't NEED heavy makeup. I will never change cleansers again.

It's been years and years since I had these and I'm sure they don't even make them anymore, but I disliked these lotions so much I feel compelled to write this review anyway! The fragrances were all fine, I seem to remember that I quite enjoyed them. But the lotion? Not fine. It was too runny and didn't really moisturize much if at all. I would try to rub it into my hands and it was as if it just sat there on top of my skin, not soaking in at all. Definitely one of the worst lotions I've ever used.

I have used these lotions in various scents on and off for years and they are always reliable. Not blow your mind amazing or anything, but you know what you're getting which is a decent lotion that will leave your hands feeling soft and moisturized without the greasy feeling and more than enough scents to choose from. I found a forgotten, half used bottle of Brown Sugar and Fig in my cabinet some time ago and brought it to work with me. I still enjoy the fragrance (these products hold up pretty well over time!), and it does provide decent moisture for my skin...but I do have to reapply pretty much every time I wash my hands. And I wash my hands a lot. But I haven't found a lotion yet that can hold up through that much hand washing and harsh office soaps. I'm sure I will always have a bottle of this around because it is pretty good stuff.

This is my favorite aromatherapy scent from Bath & Body Works and I didn't discover it until it was on clearance. I'm in love with this lotion--not only is the scent perfect and relaxing, but it is so gentle and moisturizing without feeling greasy. The formula is perfect and as sad as I am about this scent being discontinued, I'm looking forward to testing out the others and finding a new one to fall in love with!

I bought one of these on sale recently, I believe it's a scent they no longer make--Nighttime Tea. Which is a shame, because it is a beautiful, calming scent that I quickly fell in love with. The scent IS strong...which is kind of the point of aromatherapy, I think. And I appreciate how strong it is since I have a weak sense of smell. In any scent, this is a fantastic lotion. I was nervous at first that it might be too runny, but truly a little goes a long way. It soaks right in without feeling greasy and makes skin so very soft, I truly love it. Because mine is a relaxing scent, I keep this by the bed to put on my hands at night and I wake up with incredibly soft and moisturized skin. I have also been known to slather this on head to toe after a shower because I love the scent so much. I wish they hadn't discontinued it, but I love the lotion so much I am sure I can find other scents I love. I will definitely by this again!

My husband and I picked this up a few weeks ago in the Eucalyptus Mint scent because we're obsessed with how relaxing it is. It is a massage oil, and it does work really well for that. My favorite way to use it is to pour a little into my bath water for a relaxing scent and extra moisture for my dry winter skin. This is definitely a product I will replace when it runs out!

I have a small size of this in a citrus scent that I love for travel! I use it as a body wash and it works really well. Lathers nicely with a pleasant but not overpowering scent and cleanses well without leaving my skin too dry. Very nice!
