I would give this cream a better review, except it just isn't for me. I'm sensitive to strong smells, and although this is a pleasant enough smell, when it's radiating from your hands throughout the day, it may start to make you nauseated. That being said, my hands were definitely more hydrated, so it wasn't all for naught.
Now, I've found great reviews of this product, and don't deny that A LOT of people would really enjoy this product, and given to the right person would make a great gift. However, if you are sensitive to smells, beware! This may be a little too much for the sensitive person.

I first received this product as a tester, and was using it on my face, for which I found it too heavy (for good reason, since that's NOT what it's supposed to be used for).
Then I tried it on my body in really dry areas, and it worked better than any other body lotion I've ever tried. I got it in the big pump bottle, which lasts forever, especially when you use it the way I do.
I put this on my "problem" areas, including the rough parts of my feet, and in one application your skin feels instantly softer. With regular use, your problem dry areas improve drastically. I can't see myself ever switching it out for another product - it just works too well!

When I first received this product from being selected as part of the Product Review Club, my male cat wouldn't stop smelling the bag for a good ten minutes. Once I had read through the material provided in the package, I decided to add some of the food to their current dry food and mixed it in.
As directed, I put about 25% Nutrience to 75% current dry food. Both cats started eating it immediately. In the package, it directed me to put 25% at first, slowly increasing to 100% by week's end, since most other foods have less protein and cats stomachs need to get used to the change. I already change their current food from chicken to salmon each other bag, and their wet food is different every day.
I check all the food I give to my cats, so I've gotten used to seeing the poor ingredients found in most cat foods, and have only found a few that have meat as the first 3-5 ingredients on the dry food list. I was expecting that Nutrience would be similar to the food I was already giving them, and made the mistake of not reading the ingredients and adding too much the second day to their current food. My female cat ended up getting sick four times on the floor in one day. That's when I checked the ingredients on Nutrience, and found out just how wrong I was.
Not only does Nutrience have meat as the first 3-5 ingredients, but actually has meat as the first 7! I couldn't believe after all this time of seeing the same old cat food with fancy packaging that didn't deliver, Nutrience actually does! It doesn't just match expectations; it exceeds them. I am so happy to be able to feed my cats such a nutrient rich, healthy dry food.
After realizing my mistake, I added less Nutrience than their current food, and have slowly added more each day, as directed. My female cat hasn't been sick since. And at only $5 more than their current food, I'm definitely going to be buying it again in the future. Thanks Nutrience!

I was discouraged by these products at first, since they are priced much higher than other products promising the same results. However, not only did I realise that this product is sold in double quantity to the other eye serum I was using at the time and yet was only twice the price (so the same price per volume), but that it also REALLY WORKS.
From minutes after applying this cream, and for 12 hours+ after using it, I can see a difference, which only gets better over time. The only downside is that it's not permanent, and on days when I'm not doing my daily routine and just cleaning up the house, I'll notice the effects start to wear off at about the 24 hour mark. Small potatoes when you have a wrinkle cream that actually diminishes fine lines and brightens and tightens under eye bags (something I've found far too many products NOT do.) A must try for sure.

I love to wear make-up, but most times I do I'm usually staying up late and want something cost-effective and quick to wash up just before bed. This is the best product I've found for this by far.
The price is amazing for the amount of liquid that you get, and if you're using cotton pads like me, you really don't need all that much. On days when I'm wearing heavier make-up, I might need to do another pad just to get the remnants that the first application didn't completely wipe away, but that's it! Everything else this product does - cleanse, calm red skin, tone - is exactly what it says it does.

I got a really bad sun burn last year, and looked at what was recommended and went with this product. I am so glad I did!
My skin is very fair to translucent, so it's very hard for me to tan without burning. Usually if I burn, it just peels off to reveal my mid-winter complexion in the middle of summer. Luckily, with this product, I was not only able to sooth and heal my skin, but I was also able to keep my tan!
After that, I've been using it every time I get some sun, just to be on the safe side. It's good for my skin anyway, and if I can keep as much colour as possible, the better!

I received my first of this product as a bonus gift, and then found myself start to panic when it started to run out!
I love to have a less dramatic look most of the time, and don't like gunky, heavy make-up products, so this one is perfect for me. It provides a reliable base for light foundation, and the ability to spritz your face when it starts to get dry to put your make-up back to almost fresh is invaluable.
The price is very reasonable for the quality, and this product is definitely my favourite summertime primer.

After trying two of the Hypnose mascaras offered by Lancome, Doll and Drama, Hypnose Star is definitely my favourite of the three.
My lashes are quite long, and so length is not as important to me as some (which is what Doll promises, and delivers better on other people than me.) The Drama is supposed to be the most thickening, and yet as the name suggests a "drama-tic" look it still doesn't deliver as well as the Hypnose Star. A perfect blend of lengthening and thickening, I've come back to this product time and again.
The only thing this mascara lacks, as with the other Lancome mascaras I've tried, is that it starts to fall onto your cheeks after about 6 hours of wear, so there are some situations you might avoid using this mascara. It would be nice if the price was a little better, too, but is still reasonable for the quality.
