  • Kristi Vitale - Luxurious And Soothing Skin Care At Its Finest

    I have been using Brinkley Beauty's Recapture Night Cream for over one month. It is clearly the best night cream I have ever used. My skin is susceptible to cystic acne when I use products that irritate it. There is absolutely zero irritation and zero acne from using this product. My skin is soft because this cream is soft. My skin is silky because this cream is silky. My skin is hydrated and supple when I wake in the morning. What I love too is that this line is fragrance free. Fragrances most often give me headaches and acne. This does not happen with Brinkley Beauty because Recapture is fragrance free. And although this cream is fragrance free, when you open the jar and place this night cream on your skin, you are soothed by the most clean, subtle aroma. Most fragrance-free products have an unpleasant smell. Not Brinkley Beauty. It's perfect. The gentle aroma is actually therapeutic to me, and I look forward to it every night. Being a vegan myself, Brinkley Beauty's cruelty-free and vegan product and environmentally sensitive packaging make this line, in my opinion, incredible. I believe wholeheartedly that Brinkley Beauty is the best kept secret. Once you use it, you may never use another skin care line. I know I won't use another. I'm in for good. I have so much confidence in Christie Brinkley and her products. She has spent years perfecting Brinkley Beauty into complete perfection from her experiences over her many years in the modeling and entertainment industry and from her very own desires of what she expects from a skin care product. All of my words may seem too good to be true. They aren't. And you may wonder why I have taken so much time to write so many good words about something I have no affiliation with; it is because I have searched years to find excellent product and I know how frustrating it is to find a cream you absolutely love. I want to help other women (and men too!) find something they love, reap the rewards, and be done with the search. Please try her line of skin luxury! You won't be disappointed! I will be reviewing all products individually over time.

  • Teri - WHAT JOKE!!!!

    IF you can get it on and pulled up you might stand a chance...rolling it up over your butt isn't as easy as the video says it is and taking down over your head is impossible....once it's ALL under your boobs because you have to roll it up over itself in order to get it on, you now have to figure out how to get the waist band back down around your hips, (the thin band down)...if you can get it down to your hips...you now have to figure out how to get it to stay down around your hips, problem is, it pinches so tight it bruises ya...walking around for 10-15 minutes with this thing on was soooo uncomfortable that I decided to send it back after just one try....What they need to show in the videos is how someone with size to start with should get into it, pull it up and then work through the 10 minutes they recommend that we wear it for ....Starting out with the person that is already a size 2 makes anything look easy to do...HUGE WASTE of MONEY!!!! I will be sending this back on a fast track to their warehouse....

  • Kartik Garg - Calmness without the bitter aftertaste

    Absolutely love this tea. The simplicity of the ingredients combined with the soothing smell and taste make it one of my favorites! The only thing I could ask for was a non-bleached teabag.

  • James F - Fresh Water!

    This filter works just as good as the original that came with my refrigerator, at a very reasonable price. I don't have much trouble with water out of my faucet, so these definitely do the job. I highly recommend these!
