I’ve been wanting to try Kate Somerville products, but they’re all so expensive that I keep putting it off. It would be wonderful to win something and give it a try. I already love the Philosophy cleansers.

Wow this is really a fabulous giveaway, Christine! Thank you–that’s so awesome!

I’m most excited about the Kate Somerville DermalQuench…or the Bobbi Brown Blush Brush–it’s kinda a toss-up 😛 If I HAD to choose though, I’d go with the Kate Somerville! I recently got into more hydrating products for my oily skin and the difference is incredible! I guess my skin really was dehydrated without me realizing it!

I’m most excited for the Kate Somerville products, particularly the ExfoliKate. I’ve heard such great things about the products, but haven’t ever been able to splurge and try them out.

Oh I am excited about all of these! But if I had to choose probably the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Nectar! So excited about this giveaway!

So hard to decide which I would be most excited for – but I have been wanting an FHI iron for awhile – This would have to be my favorite!

I’m excited about the Bobbi Brown brush! I have her powder and concealer brushes. The blush brush would make a fantastic addition to my collection!

Honestly I’m most excited for the exfolikate – I’ve been sneakily going around to every sephora and asking for samples instead of dropping the cash. I love it…my wallet most definitely doesn’t.

I’m most excited for the Ojon deep conditioner because my hair is thick and coarse it needs serious help in the moisture department.

the fhi heat volumizing iron sounds amazing, i have really frizzy hair but when ever i use a flat iron it goes limp, so that sounds exciting.

Ojon Rare Blend Deep Conditioner.

I have never been able to justify spending more than $4 for shampoo or conditioner. I’d love to see if this helped my bounty of frizz.

MJ Avatar

I have an Ole Henriksen eye gel and I love it – would love to try the Truth Serum! But I don’t have any Bobbi Brown products, either, so the blush brush is a close second!

The Kate Somerville Exfolikate! I have a small sample size version that I’ve been using very slowly. It’s so amazing!

Sally Avatar

I’m most excited to try the ExfoliKate. I also LOVE Josie Maran’s Argan Oil! Its the only moisturizer I will use that doesn’t make me a melting mess in the Florida heat and humidity!

I am most excited for the Kate Somerville DermalQuench and the Philosophy Purity Made Simple Micro-Delivery Wash because I am really hoping that the philosphy product will help with my acne and that the dermal quench will help with my dry patches 🙂

I just repurchased super sizes of the Purity Made Simple and Micro-Delivery exfoliating wash. I could always use more since I use them twice a day, but I’ve never tried any of Kate Somerville’s products and would love to try the DermalQuench treatment.

I love QVC, they introduced me to whole beauty world over 13 yrs ago when I had my first son. I am most excited about the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Nectar

I love the five piece set of the Argan Oil. It is such a miracle, multipurpose product. It works as a moisturizer, I can put a bit of it on my breakouts and the next day it reduces them, it works well on the dry ends of my hair, I just can’t get enough!

Danielle Avatar

The FHI Heat Iron! I’ve needed a great styling tool like this for a long time. My hair is super dry at this time of year, too so that Ojon conditioner will come in handy too. Plus I LOVE the Ojon products I’ve tried.

I would love to get the Kate Sommerville serum. I get very dry skin in the summer from running outside and need something powerful to fight that. Thank you for doing this giveaway!!

Kate Somerville products balance on a fine line between amazing and overpriced. I have only tried Anti-bac lotion and Eradi-Kate (sp?) drying lotion (both worked for me and both have similar and more affordable alternatives); it would be interesting to see how other raved about product perform.

EVERYTHING looks amazing but I’m particularly interested in the ExfoliKate. I tried a sample and loved it but wasn’t ready to buy the full product. Now I MUST HAVE!!

Kate Monster Avatar

Hmm…the Argan oil would be amazing, but I’ve heard such amazing things about the ExfoliKate and it’s a bit outside my budget. Just about everything would be incredible, though.

Lori Avatar

I would be excited and happy to try any of the items but if I would have to pick one I guess I would say the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in nectar.

I’ve heard so many amazing things about the Kate Somerville line so I’d LOVE to finally get to try it myself 🙂
