Best drug store hand cream on the market. Love that it absorbs into skin without leaving a greasy feeling and like the product says, it does last through mild hand washing, technically hand rinsing because if you use soap it does come off. Working in a research lab I've developed of washing my hands incessantly and continue to do so at home. This hand cream is great at keeping my hands moisturized. Great price for the size too. -

Great brush for powder foundation, it's dense bristles really grabs onto the loose powder and spreads evenly all over your face. Love that the bristles aren't too long so you can really get control into the creases around your nose. I have always stuck with animal hair brushes but this vegan animal-friendly brush does the same job as animal hair brushes and comes with a decent price tag. Been washing this wish normal shampoo and the bristles bounce right back when they're dry. Would recommend this to anyone! -

My new favorite mineral powder. Previously was going back and forth from MAC and Bobbi Brown but decided to try this one from Laura Mercier recently and will definitely not look back. MAC was OK but for the price I liked it, Bobbi Brown was better but had been finding it hard to get a better coverage despite applying more product. Laura Mercier allowed me to get a better coverage just by applying on more to build coverage as I needed. But on casual days I could still just sweep a little product and still even out my skin tone without looking too made up. Even without applying my usual BB cream underneath it lasted a whole day. Plus you can flip the cover over to block the holes when you're traveling so you don't end up with a ton of product all over the inside when you get to your destination. Love it! -

Absolutely love this hand cream! Like all of L'Occitane hand creams, this one absorbs right into your hands without leaving any oily film and allows you to continue with your day. Working in a lab I wash my times probably 30 times a day and this cream always replenishes hydration in my hands. Proof that it doesn't leave a residue is that my hands don't stick to the inside of my nitrile gloves when I work, unlike other hand creams. At $12 a tube it is a bit on the pricey side considering how small the tube is, but worth the splurge. Also love the cherry blossom scent - not too floral, not too citrusy, perfect. -

Having always used Always brand ultra thin liners, I got this as a sample in the mail and was first drawn by their colorful packaging (each liner is wrapped in a different color). But I did already notice that the packaged liner was about twice as thick as my Always liners. Nonetheless I decided to give it a try and was not impressed. It was equally as absorbent, but it was definitely twice as thick. The edges are also just as thick whereas the Always is flattened and softened at the edges, so by the middle of the day these Kotex liners was starting to cut into my bum/thigh and had to be tossed out. I might be tempted to try the U by Kotex Barely There line if I'm given a sample but as these are more expensive than Always brand I would have to get a free sample before I'm convinced to switch. -

Just started eating their High Fiber Cereal and absolutely love it, I used to eat their plan oat bran but decided to switch to this to increase my fiber intake. As winter is approaching I like having this warm cereal in the morning with a banana and some cinnamon, I do substitute the suggested water with 1% organic milk and it makes a lovely nutritional breakfast. Has almost half your daily intake of fiber in one serving. Would recommend to everyone as a healthy breakfast choice. PS. If you're not used to having your cereal unsweetened, try adding half to one teaspoon of brown sugar, this is how I started out eating all my unsweetened breakfast cereal/oatmeals and now I have even cut out the sugar to make it even more healthy. -

As a first time mom, I researched a lot of products for preventing pregnancy stretch marks and chose this one for it being a) a natural product and b) the container as I was planning to travel for 2 1/2 weeks. It has a nice tight screw cap so no leaks even though it was probably sideways or upside down while I was traveling. I started using this near the end of my first trimester at 16 weeks in anticipation of my growing belly. Now I am at 26 weeks and haven't had a stretch mark appear even though my belly has grown quite a bit. Although I know there isn't such a thing as "stretch mark creams/oils", I just love the way this oil feels. It absorbs nicely and keeps my skin hydrated, it smells nice - not a strong scent but a nice aroma, and I can't complain that it helped prevent stretch marks from appearing so far. It's a bargain compared to many other branded stretch mark oils (Mustela, Clarins, to name a few) with the added bonus of having natural ingredients. It also lasts because you don't have to use a lot, after 10 weeks of use I've barely used up 1/4 of the bottle. -

Love the texture of this eye cream, doesn't leave a sticky feeling and absorbs right into the skin. I'm in my early thirties and though I haven't had wrinkles appear around my eyes yet I have used this cream since I was 30. I tried switching to the Avocado eye cream since I don't have visible wrinkles but hated the feeling of that one so came back to this one even though it's a bit pricier. Would recommend to everyone! -

Absolutely love this BB cream. I have combination to oily skin and have always found other BB (and CC) creams way to thick or oily. This one is just right, especially for using under my mineral powder foundation. If I use my foundation alone I find my skin a bit too dry but using this BB cream underneath gives me just enough moisture in the dry spots. It also helps my foundation stay put during the long day. Also love that it has SPF 35 to protect against UV rays. I have been using this product for over 3 years and haven't wanted to switch despite all the other samples I have received. -

A bit on the pricey side considering the size of the container/amount you get, but I have always had a hard time finding a correct shade to match my light/medium partly yellow-toned asian skin. Being active in the summer but living in a rainy city this is the perfect match once my tan starts to fade but hasn't quite hit my winter color yet skin color. It has a nice texture and natural finish once applied. I do wish they would make the container with a bit more holes as I find it difficult to shake much product out for application, I usually end up having to recap and reshake at least once or twice to get more product to come out in order to cover my entire face. -
