When I first started using this I didn't notice that much difference in my hair. Unfortunately my hair is quite frizzy and it annoys me so much to have to check my hair throughout the day when I could be doing other things. But that's the reality of the situation. My hair wasn't always like this. I've tried many products to try to tame my wild hair. This product seems to do the trick (at times). It just take continuous use. I do feel it is doing a better job than other products I have used in the past, although it's not perfect and there are days that I still frizz and I cry =( No, not really, but I do feel frustration. Until something better comes along, this is the best thing for me so far. I think the reason it works for me is because I mix it with Jojoba oil (which I add drops of Rosemary oil for hair growth). My hair is brittle and somewhat thin so I try to take extra care of it. I think the reason I didn't notice that much difference when I first started using this was because I was using this product alone. Once I added it with the Jojoba oil it was working better. -

This product first caught my attention in a picture for another product on the Urban Outfitters website. Talk about product placement, it sure worked in my case! I believe they were selling this on their site as well. What I loved about the product at first was the packaging - I love all things retro and retro-looking. Plus I liked what the product does and the type of ingredients it contained. I purchased it right away after seeing it on the site. I use it mainly as a makeup remover prior to using my usual cleanser. I think it does an okay job at removing makeup. There's still traces of makeup left on my face as I use my toner after cleansing but I was expecting that anyway. What I like about this product is that it is gentle on my skin and feels great. It feels safe. I love the scent - it's scrumptious! I would definitely buy this again. I feel that there are other makeup removers that worked better on me but I like using this one more. I'll stick with this for a little while longer. -

I first started using Method products oh, about 4 years ago? I can't remember, but I do recall it wasn't as popular as it is now. Back then it was just hand soaps I mainly saw and a few other cleaning products. I love laundry products and love the laundry process although I can be lazy at times or tired because I have a very busy schedule working in theater. I love this detergent because it's quick and efficient - just a few squirts and I'm ready to go! I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure how well it would clean but it's been doing a very good job. I've been using this product for a few years now. I like the scent - not strong at all but it does smell nice enough. I haven't tried the other scents yet, but do plan to once my next bottle runs out. -

Located at: 10 Morton Street New York, NY 10014
This was one of the most charming cafes I've been in but it's very expensive! I came here because a friend of mine invited me. There were so many choices of teas it was mind-blowing. There were so many customers that came just to buy their tins of tea. I came here twice. I think the first time we got some apricot tea and the second time we came we got lavender. A large pot of tea for two was about $8. One macaroon cost $2. Very expensive but very good. I had a rose macaroon, although I wouldn't order any too often. They even have Champagne Tea services! It's a small place and fills up quickly but is worth it. There weren't many food choices unfortunately - a few salads, soups, quiches and panini's. The varieties available weren't all that great but I would definitely go back for their teas and for the wonderful atmosphere.

I've been a fan of Burt's Bees since the mid-to-late 90s. I mainly liked their lip products. I thought some of their skincare products were a bit "iffy." They were not spectacular but I liked the fact that their products contained natural ingredients back before natural and organic ingredients became a trend as it is today. I do like products that moisturizes my skin well because it's very important for my skin. I get dry pretty easily and that makes it harder to apply makeup and there's nothing I hate more than having those dry flakes pop up along with makeup becoming dry on my skin. It looks terrible! Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser works pretty well as hydrating my skin. It doesn't even feel like a cleanser, it feels like a moisturizer and feel so creamy and velvety on my skin without it feeling heavy. I also love the scent. The packaging of the product also makes it look more inviting. For the price I would purchase this product again. I never used a product that was more moisturizing on my skin. -

The first thing that stood out for me was the design on the bottle as well as the product itself. Bottle was see-through and you could see the champagne-colored liquid that contained shimmery sparkles. The name sounded "groovy" as well - "Moonflower." When I took a whiff of the product it smelled a little strange. It was a bit musky, which I don't usually like but it also smelled a bit sweet. The description on the back of the bottle made it even more enticing: "Bathe in the glimmer of twilight with Moonflower Body Wash. Shimmering lather swirling with notes of cinnamon, sugared quince, myrtle leaves and smooth cognac, gently hydrates your skin leaving behind a lovely glow." It sounded heavenly. The $19 price tag was a bit much for me, but since I was on vacation it was a good excuse for the purchase. I don't think I would have purchased it otherwise. I loved the scent after getting used to it. It's a distinctive scent and it really does leave subtle sparkles on my skin. Not sure if I would purchase it again because of the price, but would probably consider it. It's one of my favorite products now. Makes showertime so much for enjoyable. -
