Dark Angels
Dark Angels is powerful cleanser designed for young, oily and darker skin – as requested by our customers and inspired by our best-selling cleansing roll. It's got a natural, anti-bacterial cleanser in the form of Rhassoul mud which we buy direct from the mines in Morocco's Atlas Mountains.…

5 stars
5out of 5

When you survey your stash, you label this product: Must-Have

Pros: Balances Skin, Leaves Clean Feel, Improves Skin Texture, Exfoliates

Cons: Messy

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Oily Skin, Blackheads, Daily Use

Reviewer Comments: Before I get to my review, let me give you a brief description of my situation: my face is oily yet dry, scary sensitive, prone to blackheads on my poor nose, and I may or may not have a light, undiagnosed case of rosacea.
I am always very hesitant to try new face products because I have sensitive skin that flares up at the thought of a new skincare regimen, but I have a friend who absolutely insisted that I try Dark Angels cleanser. She gave me a sample..I tried it, and fell in LOVE! It’s grainy yet finely milled, perfect for exfoliating my face without scratching my skin to the point that I look like I lost a fight with a feral cat. It is messy to use the first few times, but through trial and error I have discovered that a nickel size amount mixed to a pasty consistency using water is the perfect amount to cover my entire face. It left my skin baby soft, incredibly clean, and glowing! I have the type of skin that needs to be moisturized seconds after washing it or else I feel the dreaded skin tightening, but DA did not leave me with that dried out feeling! I absolutely recommend this to ANYONE who wants to have the skin they did before puberty set in to wreak havoc on our faces! My favourite LUSH item, hands down <33333

Great, but not for all. . .

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Easy To Use, Comfortable, Quiet Operation, Easy To Setup, Sturdy, Strengthens

Cons: Storage could be hard, Doesn’t fit all doors

Best Uses: Performance Training, Low Impact Exercise, General Fitness, Strength Training

Reviewer Comments: This product is very nice, very sturdy. However, it would not work in my condo. I have very thin walls, aprox 3″. I really liked this product and was looking forward to using it so I am pretty bummed. I found the ideal door sizes and put them below so people can save their time…. it won’t work if your door doesn’t fall in these ranges.

I did find an good alternative after searching and searching. This is great for those who travel too. Lifeline Power Up Chin-up.

Needed Door Size…
1) Face molding around door: minimum 1 1/2″ – maximum 3 1/2″
2) Molding distance from wall: minimum 1/4″ – maximum 3/4″
3) Wall thickness: minimum 4 1/4″ – maximum 6 1/4″ (trim to trim).

Worth every penny!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Safe, Entertaining, Lots of Fun, Durable, Easy To Clean, Calming, Soothing, Portable

Best Uses: Toddlers, Infants, Special Needs

Reviewer Comments: This is the ultimate teether! I read about Sophie in & on nearly every baby magazine & website the entire 9 months I was pregnant so I decided to get her. When she arrived in the mail I about died, I thought to myself I just wasted [$] on this. But once my son was 2-3 months old he was very entertained by her. Now that he is 6 months he loves her. She’s better than any other teether I’ve bought. I just had to order another one because we lost her on an outing. She’s worth every penny. I will buy one for everyone I know expecting.

Super-Dry!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Good Features, Easy To Use

Best Uses: Daily, Running, Men

Reviewer Comments: I run 4-6 days a week between 4-10 miles a day, size 11 shoe – I got the XL size socks. I bought the 3 pack when it was a daily special to try, as my usual were Wigwam Ultimax/Ironman Triathlon socks. These were starting to wear out, so I thought I’d try the RRS Drymax sock. For the [$] daily treat price-for-3 pairs, it was a great deal. Even at the VIP [$] price for 3, it is still pretty good. I have only used the socks for about a month, and with 3 pairs of them, I can’t tell if there is wear or how long they will hold up (my Ultimax have held up very well, so it will be my standard). Even though they are noted as “thin” they are a bit thicker than the Wigwam socks I typically used, but not enough to make my shoe feel tighter than when I wore the Wigwam variety. The RRS Drymax does keep my feet exceptionally dry. Surprisingly so, considering that they are. I have not run through the rain, but on regular work out days, I take off my shoes at the end of a run and the socks (and feet) are dry! No blisters, no hot spots.I’m not sure if it was the design intent or not, but the orange stripe has been useful, too. I can find them quickly when I wash/dry whites, out of the drawer with all my whites, etc. It helps me to line up the sock before I put it on, etc. Small detail, I know, but useful. The arch band around the in-step has been good, too. Sometimes I get blisters on the bottom of my arch, but with these socks, I have NOT and I attribute that to the arch band feature – which is very gentle and not something you would notice. I have not noticed any smells being captured by the sock, either.Next time, I may try the RRS thin low cut, as that is the typical cut I prefer. I have been more than happy with these socks. If they hold up to many washings and use, I may have found a great sock along with the Wigwam Ultimax/Ironman Triathlon that has been my steady brand over the last couple of years.
