YES TO CARROTS - GREEN CHI TUESDAYS!

Glad to be of help micah! Love your name - very pretty. Check with the counter person at Walgreens - they might have coupons like jaybays sister!

The cooler weather is just around the corner in my region and I've been looking for a new lotion/body products. I'm so glad to see this post! I'm definitely picking up the spa hand set. I get dry flaky skin around my nail bed and this sounds perfect. Also, I just need to brag a little since the Target in my city just opened last night. I've never been to a store at the initial opening. It was a little piece of heaven. Everything looked clean and perfect...rows and rows of consumer nirvana! (Desertdoll...I hope you get one close to you soon:)Plus, they have a nice extended line of really good products like Burt's Bees, Sonia Kuska, etc. My last stop was at the Starbucks for a small cup of love(coffee, not blood, runs through my veins). No more driving 40 minutes...gas money will be spent on beauty...so happy!! I'll have to check to see if they carry Yes to Carrots. If not, our Walgreens is a great spot for goodies too!

Aw IFW, too bad about the lack of the Manicure treatment but hooray for the Body Scrub, I'll have to try that next. By the way, I love your old school film avatars!

Desertdoll, Imidazolidinyl urea is a preservative with broad spectrum of application, which is effective against bacteria, fungi and yeasts.Imidazolidinyl urea is the second most identified cosmetic preservative causing contact dermatitis according to The American Academy of Dermatology. Imidazolidinyl urea is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative used in many cosmetics, toiletries, lotions and pharmaceutical preparations and is often found in preparations labelled as ‘hypoallergenic’. However, if you have sensitivity to Imidazolidinyl urea, these products are far from hypoallergenic and should be avoided, as it will cause dermatitis. Try to avoid other formaldehyde-releasing preservatives also known by the following names: Quaternium-15, 2-bromo-2nitropropane-1,3-diol, diazolidinyl urea

I got the pampering spa manicure, which Chi described perfectly-except it's a dead sea salt scrub (not a sugar scrub). This is a really decadent item, I loved it. I've been using it twice a week. All the oils are really helping to moisturize now that it's getting colder. It's great to work into your cuticles too. And I've been using a spa technique with it too, rather than wetting my hands and adding soap to wash it off I use a good amount of liquid soap and bulid a lather BEFORE adding water. So you get a a really lush lather. I wish there was a bit more scent would be my only complaint. Otherwise, I really like this!

I saw the word "Walgreens" and thought !Near-instant-gratification! (The closest Tar-jay is an hour away. If I have a cosmetics emergency, my choices are WalMart, CVS, and Walgreens. period - so tragic) Alas, my Walgreens shopping extravaganza was not quite what I had envisioned - no Pampering Spa Manicure. So to alleviate my abject disappointment and compulsion to shout obscenities, I purchased the Moisturizing Body Scrub. I can’t say much on a single try, but unlike other scrubs I’ve used, this product did not leave me feeling as though I’d either washed in olive oil or walked through a sand storm. No evident residue on the shower floor, either. Just smooth and soft skin. Like Mr. Bunny Rabbit on Captain Kangaroo - Say YES to Carrots!

I received the spa manicure and what a god sent this has been! This past weekend I did one of those house cleanings where you pull everything out, clean in places where it’s hard to get to and all of those other awful things I hate about cleaning my apt. Of course during all of this cleaning I forgot to wear gloves. My poor finger and hands were so dry they were sort of hurting. Sunday night I used the spa manicure and I can’t tell you how healing it was to my hands. It removed the dry skin and really put the moisture back into them. My cuticles have a tendency to be dry and since using this product that’s not the case anymore. Hope perfect is it that you can buy this at Walgreen’s and the price is right! Oh DD thanks for the liquid soap idea, I’m trying it tonight.

you don't have to be afraid of urea. however, it is a synthetic version of the urea that is dirived from animal urine. it is the most common perservative found in "natural" products. i'm gonna have to check out this product, it sounds great! does anyone know if they test on animals?

Right now, Walgreens has these products buy one get one 50% off. I picked up the body mist and the body butter. I'm going to use the mist to set my makeup in the morning. The initial try seems to work well. It smells nice and light. The body butter is a great consistency. Thick but easy to smooth on(I have a Olive body "butter" by Palmers that is ridiculously hard and difficult to smooth on...I rarely use it). It's not too greasy either. I'll probably use this at night as a hand cream. The smell is very light too.

I liked the C PAMPERING SPA MANICURE too. I was surprise how long the sugar remained anddid not desolve..My hands are hard working to say the least and badly needed this.. I just mixed the jar with a plastic spoon. I liked the smell too. it's loaded with carrots, fig, jojoba, almond and olive oil. I only used about a teaspoon in my hands and gently massaged away all the rough skin leaving my hands smooth and glowing. Only improvement to this product would be that the container be made with a seal to assure no leakage!

Hey fatcat - don't worry, Yes To Carrots does not test on animals. Now you're free to run out and get your own!

Hi -- I have to agree with you! I came across Yes to Carrots about 6 weeks ago on a trip to Walgreens. I got the shower gel, body butter and hand and elbow cream and spa manicure. (I'm a sucker for body products...) I LOVE THEM! The scent is pleasant but innocuous. The shower gel lathers incredibly well and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple after rinsing. The spa manicure/hand cream combo is AMAZING! The hand cream absorbs incredibly well, never greasy, AND, the softness lasts all day long, even after washing my hands. I don't know how they do it, but they have managed to create products that hydrate incredibly well without ever leaving me feeling greasy. I agree with your review of the body butter, and I would also add that I love that for such a rich cream, it absorbs well and I don't have to spend so much time making sure to rub it all in, like with other rich body creams. I would highly recommend! By the way, my sister told me that she got a $2 coupon from the Walgreens beauty counter in the store.

I purchased the c-body butter and I love it. My skin so soft. Which by this time of year it is starting to flake and look so scaley. So, thanks again to the great review because without this product I don't know how much money I would have paid to find something that works. But now I don't have too!!!

Yes to Carrots is an excellent product. I regularly use the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, night and day cream and mud mask. However, everyone seems to be forgetting the best part about this product: It claims to be cruelty free and not tested on animals. I contacted PETA to confirm this and the company said that it was not tested on animals, but has not as yet signed the confirmation for PETA to put them on the list of recommended products. I am no longer purchasing L'Oreal products, as they definately test on animals.I love the richness of the face creams without the oiliness, and absolutely loooovve the fragrance. I am going to buy the hand spa cream next.

I was pleasantly surprised to find how gentle yet effective this product was on my sensitive skin. Unlike so many masks, my skin did not get feel overly dry nor itchy! It was left very soft with my pores feeling very clean. I have used it 3 times this week and my skin already looks so fresh and clean- It lost that stressed-out look that it can get too! This is a fantastic facial regimen that is a must have. I also loved the smell -very pleasant. My husband of 20 years said that my skin looks great. Say what? It doesn’t’ always look great!??? Anyway, you know this has to be a great product! If I could only describe his face when I come waltzing out with a mask on-. Oh man, what we look like can be quite frightening! I also like that the ingredients are so pure and all natural.. down to the urea! No kidding.. Here are the ingredients: Silt (Dead Sea Mud) and (Dead) Sea Water , Spring Water and Carrot Juice , Pumpkin Oil , Carrot Seed Oil , Kaolin , Zinc Oxide , Glycerin , Olive Oil , Jojoba Oil , Chamomile Oil , Avocado Oil , Almond Oil , Magnesium Chloride,Fragrance, Rosemary Extract , Niacin , Ginkgo Biloba Extract , Aloe Vera Gel , Propolis Extract , Vitamin E , Imidazolidinyl Urea

I seriously don't know how you girls survive without a Target nearby. Mine is about 5 minutes away and I'm there at least once a week. This line sounds very nice. I heard about it a few weeks ago and have been wanting to try it, but just haven't made it to Walgreens. I'll have to make a special trip and get me some goodies. And yes kids do turn orange from eating too many carrots. My little one used to looove carrots and started resembling an oompa loompa when he was a baby. It looked like he had a really bad fake tan.

The story of your baby carrot-addicted friend reminds me of a story my mother has always told me growing up...apparently I had the same issue as a baby.  I refused to eat anything but carrots, squash, pumpkin...I, too, started to turn.  She thought perhaps I was jaundiced and rushed me to the doctor who simply asked her "Has she been eating a lot of orange and yellow vegetables?"..well, yes, I had. Nothing but. I was an orange skinned-baby with a haze of orange hair(that part not from the veggies)...I have tried the Yes to Carrots lip balm.  I like it.  It's not waxy and leaves my lips feeling supple and lovely, and not too heavily scented or full of artificial tastes..It's a nice lip balm, and I would definitely buy it again.What I've tried more thoroughly is the Yes to Tomatoes line.  I have used both the body wash and body butter.  I LOVE both of them.  The wash is very moisturizing but without leaving a sticky film.  The scent is also very light and refreshing, slightly sweet, but not overly so.  The body butter is very rich, but lighter than most with a fluffy texture that takes a while to soak in, but it's well worth it!  It also has a lovely scent..All in all, this is definitely a drugstore brand that I would continue to purchase.  I'm also very interested in the shampoo and conditioner, but haven't gotten up enough courage to buy it.  If anyone else has tried it (carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, any of them!) let me know what you think!

i will try this but like to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

the body butter does miracles on my dry skin. i would definitely recommend that :]

Love this company!

I have their day cream. It's light and smells good.

that looks awesome! i really wanna try it!

or you could just eat carrots. the beta carotene helps eyes and helps repair your skin.
