I'm hispanic and if you are too, I'm here to tell you that this stuff smells like a botanica. Which in my opinion, is not good. Blegh. Anyway, the packaging is super cute. That's the only positive thing I can say about this product. Every time I apply this stuff to my face and neck, it dries out my skin like crazy. It happens even when I apply moisturizer prior. Does it have alcohol in it? Well people say it doesn't. It doesn't burn when I spray it onto my face, however, it did burn right after I got a wax. I would not repurchase. I have the other two colors, but I'll review those separately. This review is solely for the purple spray.

I purchased this cleansing milk this winter when I was really struggling with dry, irritated skin. This product serves the purpose of acting as a gentle cleanser that doesn't strip moisture from my face. I only use this cleanser in the mornings; I don't believe it's strong enough to act as a makeup remover. Typically I will smooth it onto my face with no water, let it sit for about a minute, then gently wipe off with a warm, damp washcloth. When I was struggling with some sort of eczema flare up (cause undetermined, but possibly an allergic reaction to my Smashbox foundation) this would help to soothe the irritation on my face.

I honestly have no idea how you all think this is a bad product. I have extremely oily skin and am extremely prone to spots and this has cleared my skin completely. Packaging is so simple and stunning, the price is great value for what it is. so seriously reconsider your skin routing because for me this is the best thing I've ever bought for my skin. Everyone I've spoken to also believes this, so if you are wondering whether to buy this product, absolutely do it will work for you because it is the most perfect product out there

The texture of this is crazy. Its very liquid and runny at first as you apply it. But it dries on the skin and tightens up pretty quickly. Its weird to think that a clay based mask like this would actually hydrate the skin, but it does for me. I find it does a great job at hydrating and plumping skin. My skin always looks amazing in the morning after using the night before.

One of my favorite masks to use once or twice a week.

Instant love for this eye cream. I just needed something hydrating and this fits the bill -- usually I just use a little extra moisturizer but my regular Cerave PM isn't emollient enough for under the eyes. I didn't buy this product because I want to repair dark circles or eye bags, so I can't comment on that aspect...I honestly don't expect this eye cream to have any effect on that either way. This eye cream is light yet emollient with no fragrance that doesn't cause milia, watering, or other irritations. This is a very simple product that fits into my skincare arsenal perfectly. I think the pot is going to last a good long while because a little dab at night is all I need.
