Moisturizers -MAC - Strobe Cream
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 8:18:00 PM
SO in love with this product. I use it every morning under my makeup. One great use for it: I wear it to the gym when I'm not wearing other makeup and it gives me a nice glowy healthy look without a lot of effort. I like that it doesn't require much to get that dewy look, and also that it doesn't make my face feel greasy. It also provides a nice base to put my foundation on. Excellent product!!!

Moisturizers -Boscia - Oil Free Daily Hydration SPF 15
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 8:17:00 PM
I love Boscia because it is gentle and paraban-free. This product is in my standard morning lineup because it is a nice lotion with SPF and it doesn't make my skin at all greasy. In the wintertime, I have noticed my skin still needs a bit more moisture after using this, so I use MAC Strobe Cream afterwards and I get the moisture I need plus a little glow. :)

Moisturizers -Boscia - Recharging Night Moisture
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 8:15:00 PM
Boscia is my favorite skin care line. It's a standard for me because it's gentle and paraban-free. This product is excellent- it feels rich and you think at first maybe it will be too much, but it absorbs in and is totally not greasy or anything. My face LOVES this product!

Treatments -Boscia - Willowbark Breakout Treatment
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 8:00:00 PM
I love the Boscia line. It's my standard skin care line and I adore it because it's so gentle and also paraban-free. The Willow Bark Breakout Treatment is an interesting product because it uses natural ingredients to combat blemishes. I've used this product for several months, so I know what people mean when they say it can be sticky: they mean they put way, way too much on. This is a product that requires a light touch. Use it sparingly in areas where you see potential problems, and only at night, and you'll have much better success than if you glom it onto a pimple and expect overkill to do the job for you. If you use too much, it will get sticky and it will also flake a bit if you put too much on and then try to put makeup over it. I've found that this works best as a preventative product, something to put on at the first signs of a breakout, meaning even before that spot starts to hurt, but it also does work if you use it right when something starts to show. Usually by morning, things are starting to improve, and by the next morning, whatever zit was coming has already gone back wherever it came from. All I can say to those who haven't enjoyed this product is that you might want to consider trying it again and using a little more finesse- get used to it and try it various ways to find the best way that it works for you.

Scrubs -Boscia - Smoothing Facial Polish
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:54:00 PM
The only Boscia product I don't love. Boscia is my favorite skin care line- it's gentle and paraban-free and I'm completely in puffy heart love with it. But the smoothing facial polish is far too gentle and doesn't do the line justice. I find the Fresh sugar face polish is much more appropriate for what my skin needs and the Boscia is just a lackadaisical second to that.

Palettes -Fresh - Mission Fig eyeshadow trio
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:52:00 PM
LOVE this palette. It's compact, comes with a brush that, for once, isn't a sponge applicator, and the colors are phenomenally gorgeous. This is one of the first palettes I've completely used up in quite some time and it is stunning for fall. It works beautifully with my coloring and makes me a very happy girl. :)

Other -Boscia - Fresh Blotting Linens
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:47:00 PM
LOVE the Green Tea blotting papers. The only objections that I have to them are that they're gross when you are done using them (nothing to do with the product itself and everything to do with icky oil) and that the cardboard case they come in could be a little more durable for carrying in the purse. I love using these when I'm traveling- so much nicer to have these than to have to carry powder!

Masks -Boscia - Clarifying Detox Mask
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:44:00 PM
Boscia is a standard for me- it's gentle and paraban-free so I love the entire line. This mask is great if you like a green mask that dries and makes your face feel a little tight. It cleans without drying or stripping and leaves your face feeling nice and soft. I like that you don't have to use a lot, because it's an economical product as well. Overall, this is a great product, like most of the Boscia line!

Treatments (Eye) -Boscia - Enlivening Amino-AG Eye Treatment
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:38:00 PM
The Boscia line is a standard for me- it's gentle, paraban-free, and the products do a great job. This is a very nice eye treatment. It absorbs quickly and leaves my eyes feeling moisturized, and it does a nice job reducing the undereye circles. I forgot to mention in my other review that I like this product also because it is packaged in such a way that when I hit the bottom, I can open it up and use a Q-tip to get the last remaining bit of cream, so I save a few day's worth of product.

Cleansers -Boscia - Purifying Cleansing Gel
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:36:00 PM
The Boscia line has become a standard for me. I love it because it is paraban-free and natural and because it's so gentle on my face. The Purifying Cleansing Gel does a wonderful job of removing makeup and oil without stripping. It's an excellent standard product in my lineup.

Treatments -DDF - Wrinkle Relax
MeditativeRose 11/12/2006 7:35:00 PM
LOVE this product. Per the instructions, I used it faithfully, twice a day, for 60 days, on the creases in my forehead and between my eyebrows. It has made a remarkable difference in both. I am now using it only at night in those areas and have started to use it twice daily around my eyes and on my smile lines. It seems to be making a difference here, too, as I no longer notice makeup getting caked under my eyes or around my mouth in the fine lines as I did before. It is an expensive product, but it lasts a long time- I use only 1/2-3/4 pump per application and that covers all of the areas in question- my entire forehead, around my eyes, between my eyebrows, and my smile lines. I'm 34 and I have no wrinkles, but I had lines when I started and now they are so much better that I was recently carded when trying to buy wine! :)
