Review Wednesday: Saying yes to Yes to Carrots …

When I was running the toy drive at work in December one of my friends/co-workers gave me some Yes to samples to add to the makeup “kits” (caboodle boxes) I had put together for some of the older girls.
I got samples of cleansers, lotions, eye gel, lip butter, etc.
I decided to keep a few for myself to try out and then, of course, write a review for Go Fit Girl!
I took only samples I thought my nose could handle.
I have a high sensitivity to perfumes and smelly lotions and such, which give me what I call mini-migraines, raging headache and nausea.
Here are the samples I grabbed and tried myself:

• Yes to Carrots: Deliciously Rich Body Butter The smell was subtle. It had an earthy almost dirt smell. But it was still lingering and I wasn’t a fan. I think the “perfumey” smell was almond oil. The actual body butter was pretty amazing. Though the sample wasn’t big enough for me to give it a fair review.
  
• Yes to Tomatoes: Facial Hydrating Lotion I could do without the perfumey smell. I love the product, just not the smell. And I wish it had SPF. Yes to does have an SPF line, which includes moisturizers. I really loved how it made my skin feel. (Unfortunately I could not find this product on the website. Maybe it is no longer available?)
  
• Yes to Cucumbers: Soothing Eye Gel The smell is gentle. And I love how it cools and makes the skin under my eyes feel firm and bright.
  
• Yes to Carrots Lip Butter in Mint and Citrus: I am a huge Chapstick fan. It is a must have for me to carry lip balm at all times. The lip butters feel great on my lips. I like both the citrus and mint. But the mint gives my lips a little tingle. They probably don’t last as long on my lips as the Chapstick. But otherwise I love the feel of them. And the smell of them is perfect for me. Most of the lip butters don’t come with SPF, which is a bummer.
  
  

After trying some of the samples I decided I really liked them and wanted to buy some products. I went to the website and perused and picked out a few things to purchase. I have also seen items at Target (where I purchased a few more things) and Walgreens. Apparently most drug stores sell the Yes to products.
I ordered lip butters for myself and Comment Contest Tuesday winners. I also ordered shampoo and conditioner; facial wipes and eye gel.
The Yes to Carrots scalp relief shampoo and conditioner are amazing. They claim they will clear up dry scalp in seven days. I don’t wash my hair every day so I haven’t actually used the product seven times … yet. But it definitely seems to be making a difference. And I love the citrus smell.
The facial wipes and eye gel (both part of the cucumber line) have a light and agreeable smell. The facial wipes are perfect for travel or for when I hit the gym right after work and I need to remove my makeup.
Once I decided on the items I wanted to order I put in my order on a Tuesday night. The next day I received an e-mail that one of my items was on back order. The following Tuesday I realized I hadn’t received my order. I planned to check in and forgot. Two days later I received a call asking me about my billing address being different than my shipping address. I explained that the shipping address was work. She told me if there were any issues with that they would contact me. About a week/week and a half went by and no package. I called and they told me the item on back order was holding things up. I was annoyed because that had never been relayed to me. I asked them to cancel that part of the order. The woman I dealt with on the phone had amazing customer service. And I realize it was just some sort of mix up. I finally got my items (along with some samples) … about a month after I put my order in.
Recently I found everything I would want at Target and plan to buy my future Yes to products there.
The Yes to products are organic with a line of natural skin and hair care.
Part of the Yes to Mission is that they strive to make affordable kick-ass products that work and make people feel good.
Yes to is also involved in what they call a Seed Fund, where they help feed thousands of kids by planting school gardens in the US and Africa where they create a global community of students working together toward mutual learning, teaching and understanding.
I love their products and their mission and philanthropy ways. Except for a few yuck smells and the shipping mix up I love Yes to and recommend others to try their products out. Go to Target to buy your Yes to products and you will be satisfied.
