About a month ago I went back to this moisturizer because every other one I've tried seems to make my foundation crumbling when applying! This lotion absorbs quickly and does not leave my skin feeling like I need more. I got the pump bottle, which I do kind of regret because I feel like one pump isn't enough, but two pumps is slightly too much. If I had the regular bottle I feel like I would use even less. A little definitely goes a long way with this lotion! Even though it's technically unscented, I like the smell of it. I just smells clean!
*I do not use it as part of their 3-step system, I just use it with a combination of other products.

This is hands down my favourite lotion! I have been using it for years and I don't even think about buying another brand! When St. Ives changed their bottles, they also seemed to change the scents on some of their lotions but thankfully they didn't touch the Oatmeal & Shea. I have a bottle at work and one at home. I use it constantly at work and my coworkers have been known to come over and use some too.
I find it quick thick compared to some of their formulas, but what I like best is that it's scented but not overwhelmingly so.
I have noticed that the price has gone up over the last year or so, but I try to stock up when I see it on sale for $3.50. I can't express how much I love this lotion!!

I purchased a bottle after hearing so many good things about it. I have some acne scars on my face that won't fade no matter what I try. So, I gave Bio Oil a shot. I applied it religiously for about 2 months and didn't notice anything. I was pretty disappointed.
I recently heard that you can put Bio Oil on your eyebrows to help stimulate growth. I have started applying it nightly so hopefully I'll be able to finish the bottle finally!
Unless it was at a very good price and I did notice extra growth on my brows, I do not think I will purchase Bio Oil again.

Glysomed is one of my favourite hand creams! I especially like to use it at work because I handle a lot of paperwork which means my hands get dry throughout the day. I feel like Glysomed coats my hands and really protects them. I also really love the smell! I had my dad buy some because his hands were so bad - cracking! - so he needed some intense help. He's now in love with it too! -

I purchased this from Walmart because I love L'Oreal's regular Voluminous mascara, so I thought I would try this one and have a mascara to use when I wanted a more dramatic effect. Plus, it came with a bonus liquid eyeliner in the package.
The first time I used it I thought it was weird because it sort of hurt to apply it. There is a definite pull when applying it. I'm not sure if it is because of the brush, or the product clumping but it is a strange feeling. I have been using it every day with different liners (liquid, creams, gels and pencils) and it has not reacted weird with any. Sometimes I find some mascaras react to gel liners. It also stays on my lashes which is awesome because other than lipstick on teeth, there's nothing worse than runny mascara!!
I do not find that it makes my lashes any thicker or longer than Voluminous. I would say they two are very similar actually. I'm not sure if I would buy another tube personally, especially because it is a few dollars more than Voluminus and it normally goes on sale often.

I have been using this mascara for years. It is the best mascara in the price range! I find that it lasts all day and doesn't clump on my lashes. Other mascaras aren't able to give me the volume that I get with Voluminous, even MAC mascaras haven't performed as well. I will try another mascara once in awhile but I always come back to Voluminous! -
