Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Kirkland by Borghese - Age-Defying Wrinkle Defense Serum
Rokmelon 6/13/2013 11:23:00 AM
I'm on my third bottle of this serum. Things I like: 1. Very affordable 2. Nice soothing texture 3. Subtle scent What I don't like is that I really don't see any results. I also don't like that the packaging doesn't tell you what is actually in the serum.

Moisturizers -Cetaphil - Moisturizing Cream
Rokmelon 1/22/2013 1:40:00 PM
This cream is hands down the best body "butter" I have ever used. It sinks right into my skin and soothes it immediately and causes no irritation. When I looked at the ingredients I realized why I loved it so much, Petrolatum-better known as Vaseline is the second ingredient! (I use Vaseline on my face every day for a year now and still love it) Along with Glycerin and Sweet Almond oil it is perfectly emulsified and doesn't feel greasy at all (to me) A definate keeper and very affordable.

Lip Treatments -The Body Shop - Hemp lip conditioner (stick)
Rokmelon 6/18/2012 9:06:00 PM
I shopped at The Body Shop for a year before deciding to try this. With my rewards card I got this for free. I refused to buy it before because 8 dollars is too expensive to pay for chap stick in my opinion. What a nice surprise this lip conditioner was! It has a soft herbal scent that is very pleasant. I was expecting a strong scent since the entire hemp line smells strong. It is also highly moisturising, I put it on and it stays for a long time and leaves my lips feeling great. I'm so pleased with it I would gladly pay 8 dollars for this in the future, but will most likely wait till I have enough member rewards points to get it for free again :)

Love this lip balm! It feels great going on and it so soothing. It also lasts a long time and has that nice peppermint tingle.

Hair Color -L'Oreal - Excellence Creme
Rokmelon 5/11/2012 11:56:00 AM
I've tried other hair color kits and I always come back to this. I've never had bad results using this and it always covers my grey hair. What I like most about this kit is that the cream is pretty thick and I love love love the comb application attachment. It makes it so easy to cover my hair evenly and quickly. It never damages my hair and the colors always look natural. I don't know what they put in that little conditioner tube but it is fantastic and makes your hair so soft and silky after you color.

Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Bag Balm
Rokmelon 5/11/2012 11:49:00 AM
My best friend who grew up in Wisconsin on a cattle farm always has this around and told me for years how great it is. So I finally bought a tin and let me tell you, this stuff is good for EVERYTHING. Use it on my lips and it makes them so soft. Use it on my feet and it gets rid of cracks. Have a zit? Put a little on it and it goes away quicker. Have a rash or itch? Put some on and it soothes it. Have a sore? Put some on and it heals faster. It does smell like bandaids but I don't care because it is so useful and one tin will last you a lifetime LOL

I loved this conditioner and shampoo at first. It feels great and smells great and left my hair soft and shiny. After a few weeks my hair felt stiff and weird so I stopped using it.

Cleansers -The Body Shop - Nutriganics Foaming Facial Wash
Rokmelon 5/1/2012 4:36:00 PM
I've been using this face foam for a few months now and all I have to say is blah. It smells nice but I never feel like it gets my face clean. I also have to use more than one pump for it to feel like it is doing anything at all. On a positive note it doesn't irritate my skin but that is about all I can say for it.

Lips -Burt's Bees - Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm- with Kokum Butter
Rokmelon 4/17/2012 5:22:00 PM
I don't care for this lip balm at all. It has a nice scent and taste but as far as being "ultra" conditioning it is anything but. When I apply it 10 minutes later it is gone and my lips don't feel any better. I will stick with the Burt's Bees beeswax with vitamin e and peppermint.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Walgreens - Alpha Hydroxy Lotion 8%
Rokmelon 4/3/2012 5:28:00 PM
I'm glad I took the advice of users in this review! I started using this product 2 weeks ago because my skin was looking tired and dull. I'm not kidding when I say my skin is looking better every day. I have ultra sensitive reactive skin and it has not bothered my skin at all beyond the normal exfoliation this product provides. I apply it after I wash my face, it stings just a little bit when applied. I apply a good teaspoon or so on my face and neck although I have read you are suppose to put on less. I leave it for a few hours before applying my face cream. One thing that is very important is to apply sunscreen before you go out after applying this product as it makes your skin more likely to burn. This is the first time I have used AHA on my face and I don't know why I didn't start sooner. And this is a fantasic bargain to boot!

Lotions/ Creams -The Body Shop - Aloe Body Butter
Rokmelon 3/20/2012 1:39:00 PM
I'm always trying new Body Shop butters because I just love them so much. You can pick some of the butters up at Ulta now, which is nice because I don't have to drive too far to get them. This is my favorite "body" butter. Most of them I just use on my hands and feet. I use this body butter after shaving and it doesn't irritate my legs in the slightest. I love that it is unscented as well. One thing I noticed though, did you know that although the body butters are all in the same canister they are different amounts? For instance the Hemp body butter is 6.75 ounces, but the Aloe is 8.4 ounces. Sneaky Body Shop!!! LOL

Moisturizers -Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly
Rokmelon 2/22/2012 11:05:00 AM
I don't know why I didn't start doing this years ago but I'm glad I came to this forum and read about this insanely wonderful product. I started using this lightly under my eyes at night. Within a week the small wrinkles had softened and my skin felt good. Then I started using it on my neck where I have 2 deep wrinkles. Again, within a few days the wrinkles had smoothed out. Better yet, no signs of irritation whatsoever and no breakouts. So every night when I shower I wash my face, apply my usual skin care products then I put a tiny bit of water in my palm and add a small bit of vaseline, mix it together with my hands and slather it on my face. The Vaseline seals in the night cream and protects my face from the extremely dry climate I live in. I wake up every morning to less noticable wrinkles and soft, soft skin. I will be using this the rest of my life and perhaps I will be one of those old ladies with no wrinkles and people asking me, "What is your secret?" And I can laugh and say "Plain old Vaseline" :)

Treatments -Olay - Regenerist Micro-Sculpting SERUM
Rokmelon 1/19/2012 2:54:00 PM
As with the micro sculpting cream please be wary if you have sensitive allergic skin. It is a gorgeous product with a nice smell but within a week of using it my skin broke out in a rash that has yet to clear up.
