Harmless Harvest
Experience
this coconut water is expensive but there is none better! I normally treat myself to one before and after a night out

Would love a more accessible price point!

I bought the trimmer. It was pricier than the others I was considering but I have no regrets. I really love how well it works. It holds a nice charge and I love that it's waterproof which is not the case for all trimmers.
Fable
Experience
I splurged on the leash and I don't know how I lived without it. It is so versatile and a handsfree walk with my dog has been a lifechanging experience. After 2 years, I experienced some significant wear on the hardware of the leash -- but I emailed them and the customer service was absolutely amazing. Within a week a new one was on its way to me. I really appreciated this and they won me over as a lifetime customer and have evangelized many friends with this product. I have tried the collar but the hardware for the clip was a bit heavy and ultimately replaced it, opting for something more lightweight for my pup. I would love to try their other "PLAY" products but their price-points have not made the leap quite feel worth it -- especially when there are cheaper enrichment products out there that do the trick. I do love the look of their dog crates, and would consider the splurge since it is a one time purchase on what is essentially a piece of furniture-- but they don't make one large enough for my lab/shepherd mix.

Please make a size L crate!

This is really effective for long walks and hikes with my pup. I love that we don't have to resort to dirty communal water bowls at the dog park.

So far I have had no leaks when I seal the bottle BUT I do feel like its only a matter of time until I experience a spill in my bag. I would love if maybe there could be a screw top lid above the bowl apparatus so that in the case of leaks there is a second line of defense.
Skims
Experience
I was "skim-fluenced" by a friend who swears by their shapewear. I have 2 full length bodysuit/gussets and I have to say its the real deal. The compression and support is unreal -- and I now favor my Skims over my spanx. I have tried the lounge dress on in Nordstroms and it really is amazing. I will likely splurge on it in the future. The material is amazing and a Skims pajama set I have is made of the same material. So comfortable, but they are pretty expensive so they will have to be my only pair.
Feedback
If you have a booty or thicker thighs -- the shapewear can pinch and show lines under your clothing. For the thong body suit, I don't know if there is a fix for the appearance of panty lines on the hips and above the cheeks. But for the shorts -- I would love if they considered a softer more forgiving material for the hem at the thighs, so the garment lays smoother underneath clothes.
Lush
Experience
This place is good when gifting for loved ones of a certain age -- preteens, teens, early twenties. Very easy to make a fun giftbag of goodies. Shopping in store is a bit of a sensory overload -- with scents being particularly overwhelming. They have a few products though that I do think are keepers. The Mask of magnaminty is an excellent clarifying and exfoliating mask. The fresh masks are fun in theory but ONLY if you plan on using them within 2 weeks because they do spoil and require re-fridgeration. There is also one hair treatment that I was pleasantly surprised by. The hot oil treatment/pre-poo is excellent. For reference, I am Black and have 3c/4a, low porosity hair. I do love that they have a program for recycling packaging material in exchange for masks

I feel like I'm walking through an organizational wonderland whenever I'm in their store. But more than anything I adore the cotton pajama sets. Its such a small but impactful detail -- they don't have seams down the sides along the the waist. This is a case of a detail I didn't know I needed. 10/10 recommend!
Feedback
Please give us more patterns and prints for the pajama sets!
Glossier
Experience
I keep coming back. Some products have become staples in my beauty routine, others have been cycled out -- and over the years, I have been impressed by their customer service! The milky jelly cleanser is a must have for any skincare routine. And its an excellent, gentle makeup remover. I also love their ~you~ perfume. I know everyone has it but there is something special there if you don't mind your scent not being particularly unique to you. I love the priming moisturizer -- it's a go to for the winter bedtime routine. I have tried all three of their serums. It is cheaper too bundle them than not -- they do work but like all serums you must be consistent to see results. The masks are lovely -- but I think they're are better out there. No big loss or major wins here. You will have a pleasant experience if you buy but may not be returning for more. The body hero lotion is moisturizing -- but former partner once told me he thought it smelled like sunscreen (ha!) - I didn't think so but there it is. Generally -- I am not particularly impressed with their makeup. If I was a teen or in my early 20s I can understand turning to their cache of tinted moisturizers, lip gloss, and cloud paint. I have tried most in their line and have almost always replaced their goods with others (mac, morphe, makeup forever, pat mcgrath etc.)

Please consider making products in larger volume -- e.g. milky jelly cleanser and perfume
CUUP
Experience
I have multiple pairs of the balconette mesh. I would advise you to go up a cup size! The customer service here though is a little bit of a mess. On one occasion, the website has glitched on me and changed the size in my order on a final sale bra. I caught it within a few hours of purchasing and sent an email. I went back and forth for days -- they refused to accommodate an exchange for size. And on separate occasions, I have had the wrong size mailed to me -- a different bra than appeared on the order and receipt. Bizarre and an unnecessary hassle. At this point, I am hesitating to order from them again. I have only been tempted during their sales. I know I'll fall for their games at some point in the future, just trying to stay away as long as I can.
Girlfriend Collective
Experience
I know others have not always loved this brand but I own many pairs of their hi-rise compressive leggings in black. I size down and wear a Medium -- necessary because I do a lot of hi-impact exercise and don't want to keep hiking up leggings. I have also worn these black leggings on nights out. The compression helps for those nights when I feel a little more self conscious! I do not recommend their sweats. The cropped sweaters are awkward length -- and by awkward I mean too short. And there is shrinkage on the cropped sweat suit sweaters and sweat pants I have purchased. I got burned and kept coming back for more. I have since learned my lesson. I also have some of the bras and tanks. As a woman entering my thirties... *I must have the set.* They are forgettable. And by that I mean they work just fine. For support you would have to size down but then it gets pinchy -- so most of mine are true to size but I do nothing more but walk in them. The socks? Whats not to adore. So fun. But I always wait to buy them when they go on sale. There is never a reason to pay full price for any of these items btw. There is always a coupon code floating around on the internet. Just do your digging.

On principle I really love supporting a brand with inclusive sizing!
