I was really happy with my SammyDress order. I've ordered from several sites like this, and this is the first one that I found where all the items have looked EXACTLY as pictured. The dress I got was a nice material, had straight, strong stitching and a working zipper. It also matched the sizing chart so I didn't have to order 2 sizes up! 2 items showed as not shipping, so I emailed their customer service and they checked and told me the items were out of stock, then gave me several options for my refund. I got my refund and some bonus points that can be used like cash anytime on their site - pretty cool, especially since everything is so cheap. The shipping was also super fast - you pay a little more for shipping on this site, but it's worth it since I got my stuff in under a week! Will shop here every chance I get - love it!

I love what this site stands for, and have been a follower of the site, and books before that, for almost 20 years. Paula posts reviews of tons of makeup and skincare lines individual products, saying which is the best of the best, and which contain irritating ingredients and aren't worth the money. She has an ingredient dictionary that lists scientific findings from studies and good and bad things that the ingredients might do to you - since everyone is sensitive to different levels. I have rosacea, and following the guidance on this site saves me a lot of money and worry about what might be OK for me to try that won't give me a bad reaction. You can sort reviews lots of ways too - by product type, brand, ratings, or price - all of this is very helpful, and a great starting point for researching a product. Her Paula's Choice skincare line (sold on-line only) is excellent - and prices are good for the quality, non-irritating ingredients, and a little goes a long way with everything.

The only problem I have is that her products come up all the time now in the list of great products- I know her products are great, why would she make anything that couldn't compete against products rated the best in her reviews? She didn't always have products, and for several years she didn't push her products, just a quick statement that a certain item was comparable to one in her line - that was fine - but now full reviews of her products are in with all the other brands, which I don't like. Her products are excellent for sure, and I go back to using them all the time because they never irritate my skin and do what they say they will, but I don't need her reviews on her products.

Love Amazon - great prices, and returns are super easy, so I can get clothes at amazing prices, and just return it if it doesn't fit, Amazon Prime give you free, 2 day shipping on most things, plus photo cloud storage, prime music and video which have replaced our Netflix and Hulu for most things. They even have a pantry that will deliver groceries, and Amazon Now which will deliver to you in TWO Hours! My husband love that and it was useful when we were in the middle of an organization project - ordered shelving, storage case and bins, that came right to us so we didn't have to stop in the middle of the project to go get that stuff. Worth the $99 a year membership fee - and they have discounts on that sometimes too!

This site is great because it doesn't send you away from where you are when you cart something, and brings up 'comparable' items that are actually comparable. Bath and beauty prices are in line with the cheapest superstore, and quality of clothes and housewares is much higher.
