Removes impurities

I was looking for a mask that I could use weekly, to absorb the impurities in my skin. Since I have sensitive skin I needed a product that would remove oil/impurities without irritation. I like that this product doesn't have dyes or sulfates because I have severe allergies that can cause rashes to my skin. After washing my face with warm water, I apply a thin layer of the Boscia Mask to my face and let dry for twenty minutes. After the mask dryes, I use a warm, wet towel to remove the mask. Ones skin feels incredible after the mask is removed and one can see a change in the clarity of ones skin. In comparison to Borghese mud mask, Boscia is able to removes excess oil and impurities from my skin, without irritation. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to use a mask weekly, but doesn't want to deal with the irritation of ones skin.

Plumps up lips

This product really works to plump up lips. I was apprehensive to try Lip Fusion because I thought it was a Marketing ploy. After, using the product my lips look fuller and luscious. To apply, I place a small amount of Lip Fusion from the wand onto my lips. After a few seconds,one feels a tingling sensation and the appearance of ones lips get plumper. I particularly like the blush color and love that this product gives my lips color and plumpness. Even after one takes off the product, ones lips appear fuller than usual. In comparison to Loreal or Revlon plumping formulas, Lip Fusion gives luscious lips and offers an array of glosses that make lips stand out. Although the product is on the expensive side, I splurge to keep my lips looking sexy.

Great Results

This is a great inexpensive product that works to grow ones nails. I was looking for a product that would strengthen my nails and enable them to grow. After I file down my nails and push back cuticles, I apply two coats of Sally Hansen Maximum Growth nail treatment. After a couple weeks I saw my nails get stronger and I was able to grow them out longer. I like that this nail treatment also works as a nail polish and makes my nails look healthy and shiny. I've tried Borghese nail growth treatment, but I much prefer Sally Hansen's product because it is less expensive and works to keep my nails healthy and long. I will continue to buy this product because it works well and costs less than most brands.

Great for a natural look

I was looking for a product that had Sun protection and was oil free. I don't particularly like foundation and wanted a product that went on smoothly, looked natural, and didn't irritate my skin. Laura Mercier's oil free moisturizer is a perfect fit, for those that want to look like they have flawless skin and not look overdone. I have sensitive skin and severe allergies and was happy to find a product that didn't make my skin itch or cause rashes. After I wash my face with Aveeno calming foam and pat dry with a towel, I apply a small dot of the moisturizer to my forehead, nose cheeks and chin. I rub the tinted moisturizer (with clean hands) into my skin and have a flawless healthy glow. In comparison to Mac, Covergirl, and Revlon tinted moisturizers, Laura Mercier's product feels lighter on the skin and doesn't irritate.. Although Mercier's tinted moisturizer is $42, it works wonderfully and does not irritate skin. I will continue to buy this great product that makes my skin look flawless.

Makes hair look shiny and beautiful

I have always been impressed with the quality of Frederic Fekkai's products. Since I color my hair every two months and style my hair daily, I wanted a product that would add shine to my hair. I love that this product goes on lightly and makes hair look healthy and finished. The product is great because it helps with the underlying problem of over processed and styled hair and makes hair healthier and conditioned. After I get out of the shower and towel dry hair, I spray a fine mist of the glossing solution to my entire hair. One squirt of the glossing spray goes a long way. Also, I would avoid spraying the glossing spray too close to the roots, (in order to prevent the look of a greasy scalp). Thereafter, I blow dry my hair and use a round brush, to add body to my hair. In comparison to Sammy or Garnier glossing sprays, Fekaii is a much superior product. The glossing spray by Fekaii is a little over twenty dollars, but instantly makes hair look healthy without appearing greasy. Since Fekaiis product have olive oil it them, it helps one's hair to not just look healthy, but repairs/ moistens hair. One bottle of the glossing spray lasts six months and is a lifesaver for over-processed hair. I stumbled across Fekaii's glossing spray, a few years ago and continue to use it on a daily basis.

Great smell, but fragrance doesn't stay on the skin after showering

I was looking for a body wash that had a unique smell and that the fragrance would stay on skin after getting out of the shower. Cinnamon buns by Philosophy smells incredible; it smells as if you had just walked into a cinnabun store.. Unfortunately, the smell can only be enjoyed in the shower and doesn't stay on the skin after rinsing. In the shower, I apply a dime size of "Cinnamon buns" to a loofah and get a lather that can be used to wash my whole body. I like that the bath gel/shampoo has a great lather and doesn't irritate skin. In comparison to Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret body washes, Philosophy's Cinnamon Buns is more expensive and doesn't leave a trace of the fragrance on skin after showering. I like that "Cinnamon Buns" can be used as a shampoo and body wash and that it lathers well. I wouldn't buy Philosophy's body wash again because it is more expensive than Bath and Body Works/Victoria's Secret body washes and the great smell of cinnamon rolls is no where to be found on the skin, after showering.

Awakens you in the shower

Bath and Body Works mint shower gel is a great way to wake up in the shower. The scent of this gel is fresh and invigorating. Often times, bath gels are sugary or flowery, but this shower gel has a unique smell that can also work as an aromatherapy. While in the shower, I place a dime size of the Mint shower gel on a loofah and scrub away at dead skin. The gel wakes me up in the morning and gives my skin a clean, fresh feel. I'm highly allergic to many products, but the mint shower gel did not give me a rash or cause irritation. I like that the shower gel comes in a squirt bottle and is easily used in the shower. In comparison, to Philosophy or Kiss my Face bath gels, Bath and Body Works Mint Shower gel is fresh and leaves skin clean, without leaving any residue. I would highly recommend this shower gel to anyone in need of a new bath gel scent or has allergies to dyes. For under $20 this bath gel is a great way to take a shower and start the day off right.

Tastes Yummy and has an SPF of 15

Finally, a chapstick that tastes great and leaves lips moisturized and protected. Living in Southern California, I try to protect my lips by using a lipstick or chap-stick that has sun protection in it. Sugar Lip Treatment is the cure all, for dry, cracked, lips.. In order to protect my lips from the cold and sun, I place the sugar lip treatment on my lips, either underneath my lipstick shade or wear it alone. The lip treatment feels great and provides great moisturizing qualities. It not only moistens lips, but heals them and protects them from the sun. Since the price of this product is a somewhat of a Splurge, I only use when my lips are severely chapped. This is a great buy for anyone that is outdoors or has severely chapped lips. The Lip treatment smells and tastes great and is a wonderful alternative to Vaseline or Blistex. If one can't afford to splurge on this product, I would recommend Blistex with an SPF or using vitamin e oil to condition ones lips.

Smells delicious and goes on like butter

I was looking for a body cream that was extra-moisturizing and smelled warm and inviting. Fresh Brown Sugar Cream smells like freshed baked cookies and is intoxicating. After showering, I take a quarter size amount of this lotion and place it on arms legs,tummy, and feet and rub it in well. I specifically focus, on placing a little more lotion on my knees and elbows because they get the driest. The fragrance of this lotion is intoxicating and smells as though, it would taste great! I love warm,sugary scents like Fresh Brown Sugar Lotion; it has a unique smell and leaves ones skin feeling conditioned and soft. I love this lotion and would definitely recommend it over Vanilla Lace by Victoria's Secret. This is a great buy that I would recommend to anyone that like sweet smells and needs ultra-moisturizing lotion.

Great for Dry Winter hannds

Bliss hand cream is the ultimate cure for chapped, cracked, dry hands. I was looking for a formula that would repair my hands without getting them excessively greasy. I would highly recommend this hand cream to anyone that exposes their hands to the cold or gets severely dry hands that are painful. After I get out of the shower and dry off with a towel, I apply a dime size amount of Bliss hand cream to my palm and rub the lotion in to my hands, fingers, and cuticles. The hand cream smells great and is able to instantly moisturize my hands and last all day. In comparison to Victoria's Secret and Vaselline Intensive care, Bliss hand cream works better to alleviate the discomfort of dry hands. I will continue to buy Bliss because it is the best cream on the market to alleviate dry hands ; it helps to get rid of the problem, rather than covering it up.
