EcoTools, Bamboo Powder Brush, 1 Brush

Best make-up brush I've ever used

Posted on Apr 17, 2012

1 person found the following review helpful

Purchased at iHerb

This brush is brilliant. I purchased one of these when visiting the US a few years ago and it was in desperate need of replacement. I'm so happy to discover that iherb sells ecotools brand. This brush is super soft and not scratchy and the bristles last really well without bending and falling out. I use it to apply mineral make-up and it gives a lovely even coverage. Best of all, it's very well priced compared with other similar products. I want to buy a lifetime supply of these!

Nature's Way, Sambucus Black Elderberry, Original Lozenges, 30 Lozenges

Love the Sambucus lozenges

Posted on Apr 20, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

This is a supplement that is a pleasure to take. Tastes great and my son makes sure he gets his every morning! We have been using them every day this past winter and so far have avoided any bugs (after a particularly bad previous winter). We will continue to use them throughout the year. I also much prefer the lozenges to the syrup, which is way too sweet for my taste.

Eden Foods, Sprouted Brown Rice, Mochi, 10.5 oz (300 g)

These mochis are healthy and delicious

Posted on May 14, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

I love mochi, but until I purchased these Eden mochis, I was only familiar with the ones popular in many asian countries like Taiwan. I always suspected that they were of dubious nutritional value, but I love that chewy texture. These are perfect - they are sprouted so they are so much healthier than white mochi. I just fried in some coconut oil and drizzled with maple syrup for a sweet treat. Love how they crisp up when cooked!

Sibu Beauty, Organic Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, 10 ml

Love this stuff!

Posted on Jul 19, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

This oil is amazing, it soaks straight into my skin and is not at all greasy. I like the smell too - I previously had the aubrey organics sea buckthorn oil with jojoba and it smelt unpleasant. But this oil smells completely different, much more fruity and spicy. I will definitely keep buying it - wish they made bigger bottles!

Coconut Secret, Organic Peruvian Crunch, Dark Chocolate & Toasted Coconut, 2.25 oz (64 g)

My new favourite chocolate!

Posted on Mar 13, 2013

Purchased at iHerb

This stuff is amazing, it's really hard not to eat the whole bar. I really like that it has coconut crystals instead of sugar. It's very dark chocolate so not super sweet. Highly recommended.

Larabar, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 5 Bars, 1.6 oz (45 g) Each

Delicious but very sweet!

Posted on May 14, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

Both me and my 4 year old enjoyed these bars. The texture is nice and the flavour is yummy. I would only eat these as an occasional treat though because I find them tooth-achingly sweet. I know they have no sugar added and the sweetness is from dates, but it's something like 40% sugar!

Go Raw, Organic Super Cookies, Carrot Cake, 3 oz (85 g)

Nice cookies, but quality control needs some work!

Posted on May 20, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

I quite enjoyed these cookies. The only problem was one of them had a rather large piece of black cotton baked into it! Odd.

Reviva Labs, Hypoallergenic Mascara, Superlash Black, .25 oz

This is a nice, non-irritating product

Posted on Apr 17, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

This is my first foray into natural mascara. It goes on nicely, doesn't clump and looks great. I was using a clinique mascara before but as with all other mascaras that I tried, it irritated my eyes if I wore it for too long. The only downside is that it is a little difficult to remove properly when washing my face and gives me panda eyes if I'm not careful. But that is easily remedied with a nice gentle cleanser and a cotton pad. I would buy this mascara again, especially given how affordable it is.

Desert Essence, Conditioner, Coconut, 8 fl oz (237 ml)

Lovely conditioner but smells too strong

Posted on Apr 28, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

This is a really nice conditioner, but unfortunately as with the shampoo, I found the smell overpowering. I actually thought it smelled better than the shampoo, not quite as strong, but it's still too much for me. It has really nice ingredients and does a great job but I can't stand the strong fragrance that lingers in my hair (even though I love coconut).

Desert Essence, Shampoo, Coconut, 8 fl oz (237 ml)

I really wanted to like this shampoo

Posted on Apr 28, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

I like everything about this shampoo, except that it has fragrance added and it is really strong! I saw fragrance on the ingredient list and usually I avoid any products with artificial fragrance added, but I decided to give it a go because it got great reviews. I think I have an overly-sensitive sense of smell precisely because I don't use any products with fragrance, and the smell of this just overpowered me. Although I love coconut, it is way too much and kind of smells artificial. On the plus side, good natural ingredients and it lathers up nicely.

Food For Life, The Original Ezekiel 4:9, Sprouted Grain Pasta, Spaghetti, 454 g

OK flavour, horrible texture

Posted on May 20, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

This might be healthier than regular dried spaghetti, but the texture is just vile. While it was cooking it seemed like the spaghetti wasn't getting soft like it should, and then when I drained the water and tried to stir in the sauce, it all fell to pieces and stuck together in big sticky lumps. I think I overcooked by a couple of minutes, but it rendered the spaghetti almost inedible. My family thought my cooking failure was totally hilarious! One extra star because the flavour was OK, but I would not buy this again.

Herbatint (Antica Herbavita), Permanent Herbal Haircolor Gel, 9N, Honey Blonde, 4.56 fl oz (135 ml)

Great, natural-looking colour

Posted on Apr 28, 2012

Purchased at iHerb

I decided to try this instead of paying my hairdresser 10 times as much money to colour my hair. I think for the price it does a really good job. Colouring your own hair blonde is always fraught with danger, but this brand seems to be gentle and didn't produce horrible yellow over-bleached hair like I've had in the past with the chemical-filled dyes. It has very little smell which makes for a plasant change. The mixing can get a little messy and inexact but it's not a big problem. I like the fact that you can mix only half and just do your roots, then save the other half for later.
