Thanks for the explanation, Jen. I don't have dry skin, so I don't think this would apply to me, however, someone earlier called it "wet/dry" foundation. Do you know what they meant by that? Can this formula be used wet as well as dry? If so, how does using it "wet" work?

I just wanted to add that I love it, too, and I have oilier skin. It use it dry and love how it feels on, and I think it looks great!
Thank you for your input Ladybug! Now I might have to try it, LOL. Any excuse to get something new from SN

trixiejim: Yes, the All Purpose Foundation can be applied wet as well as dry. (I have to keep reminding myself that All Purpose Foundation is the website name for the Wet/Dry Foundation.) See application tips in
this thread as well as reviews in
this thread.
Questions for
Karen:
Are the
Citrus Spice Body Butter and
Spicy Citrus Organic Lip Balm scented with the same essential oils blend?
Is the
Peppermint Foot Scrub the same formulation as last year?
Will the
Argan & Goji Berry Moisturizer be added to the skincare recommendations
chart? From its description, I can't pinpoint for what type of skin it was formulated.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!

Thank you, extemter, for your help and direction regarding the Wet/Dry Foundation aka All Purpose Foundation
I appreciate it!

Are all of the holiday release items at a lower price or is it just the hair product? I am just trying to decide if I want to place an order. Thanks.

Does the conditioner hair cleanser require a vinegar rinse? TIA!

I don't know the official word, but I didn't need one. I cleansed with a tablespoon amount, then rinsed and added another teaspoon, kept on for a minute and rinsed, and hair was clean and nice

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It smells nice and is super easy to use. I feel like my hair's a little greasier than usual the next day though.

Mine is a little more flat than usual, but my understanding is that your hair needs to get used to not being stripped? I still prefer the first day being perfect though, because I'm tired of spending so much time on washing, conditioning and drying, just so I can make a ponytail yet again.
Also, I have dry shampoo sprays I like (used Ojon, now trying Tresseme) and they did a good job whipping it back into shape the second day.
