Since dealated turned us all on to 100% Pure (this is the brand name) Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream (see thread: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=17512)
...it got me thinking...
Has anyone tried any of the rest of their line? Their cleansers and toners look interesting, and not too expensive.
Just curious if anyone has had any experience with them...
www.puritycosmetics.com
Thanks for any info! |

| I saw this range in a shop and was immediately put off by the packaging. The cleanser and toner bottles are made of a very thin, cheap looking plastic and the product was leaking on every single one of them... I actually wanted to get the strawberry shower gel, but the SA could not find me one that was not leaking. I dread to think how this natural product could be properly preserved in such bad quality packaging. |

| there's a review of the eucalypytus cleanser somewhere on here that was very positive -- she said very good for acne prone/ non drying. I was actually considering trying it out next time I need a cleanser. |

Smoothskin...packaging is important (I think I tend to forget that!) especially with lines that tout all natural, no preservatives, etc. Sad that they might skimp on packaging, especially if their products are good. Bad packaging can ruin (or lead to ruin) a good product. I'd rather pay a bit extra for reliable containers.
Thanks waffle...I will look for it as this is one of the cleansers I was curious about, that and the other Lavender one.
EDIT: I can't find it...but I'll keep looking (I'm using google)  |

| I am actually really excited to try their lip glosses which are colored and flavored with 100% fruit juice. |

For anyone who is interested in the eye cream, when I received it they included 5 sample packs of the eucalyptus foaming wash and 5 of the pink grapefruit body butter.
I haven't tried them yet-- still trying to evaluate all the new things I've gotten since joining the forum!  |

wait for the relevant reviews as my skin is too sensitive to try new lines with ease.

the packaging is plastic? Due to the shipping weight I was sure they had to be glass (and when I looked at the website it seemed to look like glass packaging)..
what about the cleansers and eye cream? plastic or glass packaging? Any leakage problem with those? |

The seafoam cleanser is a glass jar container, the eye cream is plastic. Neither of them have come close to leaking on me, I really wish both were in pumps though. Not only for sanitation reasons, but the cleanser's container makes it impossible to get out cleanser once the jar is almost empty unless you spoon it out, which I do  . In fact, I wrote an e-mail to the company about those two things, not that they'll actually do anything about it though  |

| Is the consistency suitable for a pump? I have some pumps here that I could transfer to.. I dont think hubby will like having to scoop out of a jar.. (he is SO fussy) |

Wow, I didn't even think to transfer mine! I'm sure it work fine with a pump. |

| FYI, you can find some of the 100% pure products in flagship stores of Bath and Body Works. I've found both cleansers in BBW but most are products for body. The package is pretty simple and the ingredients look natural enough (>95%). I bought the papaya/pineapple peel powder, mixed with a little bit of water and it was ready to use on my face. I have no bad reaction to it though no positive result either. It might be that I didn't use it frequently. |

| I've just bought the cranberry cleanser and the white tea rose toner off ebay. Their products all sounds so lovely! I'd like to try the eye cream as well, but I can only buy that at Chocolate Lotus and I'm not really prepared to pay $12 shipping for a $18 product If only they sent stuff overseas without insurance... |
