This moisturizer goes on thick and creamy and absorbs well, although I find it a bit greasy. I appreciate that it doesn't have any fragrance, so I can slather it on my limbs before going to my office, where heavy perfumes are a no-no. Even though it doesn't contain mineral oil, it doesn't moisturize very deeply or very long. My dry skin is itchy again within an hour after putting this on.

After three weeks of trying to make this work for me, I'm throwing in the towel and giving it a lousy review. I read product reviews on Lush's website and tips on their forum about how to properly use SJG. I talked to an SA. I experimented. But in the end, SJG left my nose with more blackheads than when I started. I have combo skin, so it did work well on my dry cheeks to slough of dead skin and moisturize.

Those three words pretty much sum it up. I'm willing to forgive the oiliness because it works so dang well. I usually have to use a Q-tip to clean up dark eye makeup that the first round of remover didn't actually remove. Not so with Boot's lovely potion. It is also the first eye makeup remover that doesn't irritate my sensitive eye area.

I was on a quest for the perfect gold shadow, and I finally found it at Laura Mercier. Gold dust offers the perfect amount of shimmer (no glitter here) and finds the gold color sweet spot between being washed out and being tacky. The overall quality of the product--finely milled powder and good packaging--make me eager to try out more Laura Mercier's (terrific selection of) colors.

I recently took my light brown hair to a rich dark brown. It looked very natural except for my pesky light brown, almost blonde, eyebrows gave me away. Using this liner in soft brown has solved that problem. I draw a few lines in my brows and then gently smudge for a natural look.

While I love the baby pink color of this gloss, I wasn't too thrilled about its sticky texture, gritty glitter particles, or how short-lived it was on my lips. Thus, I ditched Fresh Gloss in favor of a better gloss of the same color. Sorry, Sephora.

Formulated for sensitive skin, Aqua Marina is supposed to reduce redness and combat dryness. Although I liked the creamy texture and how clean it made my skin, I had a bad reaction to it. Over the course of an hour, my face became increasingly red, and then hot and itchy. AM also caused some peeling on my nose.

I've tried a smorgasbord of hair treatments/deep conditioners, and this is by far the best. After reading tips on Lush's forum, I applied gobs of this to my hair, covered it with a plastic bag (I didn't have a shower cap!), left it on for two hours, and then shampooed and conditioned as usual. Wow! My perpetually dry, dull, flat hair was shiny and full of bounce. It was so soft that I couldn't keep my hands off it. The results lasted several days, through several washings. Some people might find it's warm spicy smell overpowering, but I like it. I also like the all-natural ingredients, Earth-friendly packaging, and cruelty-free philosophy that's behind all LUSH products.

This homely cleanser let's you put your best face forward (pun intended). Lavendar oils and almond gently exfoliate and clean, making skin cushiony soft. It feels oily when you first apply it--and it is--but I follow up with a toner and my dry-in-the-cheeks, oily-in-the-T-zone skin looks luscious and feels balanced all over. One use banished the flakes that plague my nose without clogging pores. It's also a pleasure to use--I look forward to washing my face! I find that using it once a day works best for me.

One pump of this cleanser releases enough product to thoroughly lather my face, neck, and chest. I detect a mild tingly sensation and the faintest whiff of mint. This cleanser leaves my sensitive combination skin feeling soft, refreshed, and truly clean. Unfortunately, it does not tackle blackheads and I suspect it's contributing to my skin's flakiness.
