Hi manslayerliz...

Do you consider any of my "complaints" (your term, not mine) unfounded? If so, which one and why?

Hi Jennifer and welcome! I've been using 100% Pure's products for years and I love them. I would especially recommend checking out the Nectarine lotion--- it's the best-smelling lotion I've ever used. I'm very sensitive to strong scents and perfumes, so finding a scented lotion I can actually enjoy is a rare treat for me.

Also, please don't be put off by the ahem, exuberance of some other members here. Some members here actually make and sell their own body care, so you can understand that they don't want to pass up a chance to complain about the competition. However, the majority of people here are very nice and not looking to sell anything, so I hope you will continue to post and participate.^-^

John,

My biggest problem is with your accusatory, condescending tone. Many of us here started out by posting reviews --- I shudder to think how many of us would not have continued our participation here if our first posts had been met with insults and accusations. To be perfectly frank, I would be much more interested in reading your "professional" opinion if you didn't end every list of complaints against competitors by saying: "In closing, buy my products!"

I love the coffee bean eye cream and use it under the eye tuck everyday. It's one of the few eye products I can use. I have very sensitive eyes and skin in my eye area and many products cause that area to become red and irritated. I also love the smell especially first thing in the morning. Based on your review, ItsEssential, I may try some more of the products. Thank you!

Thanks Skippie,
With so much going on I forgot all about the eye cream! I was planning on ordering it and then just didn't find the time! I guess I will have to make an exception in this case as you have had such good luck with it, I never find eye creams that don't irritate my eyes!

Thanks Again,

DM

Skippie, do you have any lines under/around your eyes and if so has the Coffee bean eye cream helped with those? I read Antonia's blog and it seems she is using the 100% Pure Coffee Cherry face product and seems to like it.

Riley,

I don't have lines around my eyes. I use the eye cream for help with puffiness and dark circles. So, I'm not sure how it would help with lines. I'll have to take a look at Antonia's blog to see what the cherry product is all about.

...I have to admit, I did find NOTCH's response to you on the belligerent side but that is the problem with seeing things in print - some people find it hard to write in a conversational tone. Please don't let it discourage you from posting again! Cheers, Bessie

I agree. I have decided to chalk it up to Notch having a bad day, Rolling Eyes

instead of just being a general jerk.

Thanks to all that posted. I enjoyed reading all of them, especially the beauty brains link.

I would have posted this Friday, but I wasted my 5 posts a day on Notch. Lesson learned. Ignore grumpy people.

I have very sensitive eyes also.

This does not irritate my eyes and makes them feel open and wide awake! and it doesn't cloud my contacts.

I am just reading through this - and I was surprised at the tone of John's first response also. My impression was one of disappointment -as it seemed harsh (Not the way I've tended to see NOTCH in the past - hmm

m). Sorry. I thought she seemed like an enthusiastic first poster, not a promoter or anything.

So: Welcome It's Essential and I'm off to check out the line you've mentioned. Sounds like a few of my EDS buds like it also.

And DarkMoon - How many eye creams do you already have???? hmmmm. Remember I'm coming back to Florida and we're going to inventory the whole kit and caboodle Laughing

Thank you for your review Jennifer.

I have been going back and forth (it seems like forever) about buying that 3 piece try-me kit from QVC. I'm mainly interested in the moisturizer with SPF as I'm always on the lookout for a good SPF. I still can't decide.

I almost never wear mascara so would probably give that away.

Welcome Jennifer, I hope to see you again.
