  
from my customers...
with much appreciation
from Monica
I just want to say that I've tried so many natural skin care products, most recently, in the past 2 years, and none compare to Anna Bellina. This line is the only one that doesn't dry out my oily skin. I've been using the oily skincare line for a while and it is so nourshing. It removes the oil, yet never gives me that awful tight face feeling. And it is the only creamy cleanser that I've tried that does a wonderful job of removing makeup, impurities, etc., leaving my skin soft, supple AND clean. I can't wait to get my newly order Seacrets cleanser and exfoliator! And the Seaweed mask I have is just awesome! I remember seeing all these little "trees", if you will, sticking out of my pores, ready to be pulled, after using this mask only once! It really purifies! Your products are just fantastic!
from Natalie
Patricia: First of all, I have to say that I'm spoiled by all of your holistic, thoroughly interesting skincare information posted on your site and of course by your quality products. I've been interested in holistic medicine and quantum nutrition so your site is right up my alley. I've scoured the internet for 100% organic skin care that is actually all-natural and healthy for your skin, and as far as the the USA goes, you seem to be the only person/company that provides perfectly wonderful, organic, all natural, specially targeted skin care at an affordable price. I'm a girly-girl, so I like looking at skin care and ads that Sephora and all the others send me, but just taking a glance at some of their products' ingredients makes me unable to justify a purchase of anything else but yours. You're just too good. Thanks! A very satisfied customer.
from Mary
Hi Patricia! First, I want to thank you for your wonderful products. I can't believe what a difference you've made for my skin. I am 50 (almost 51) and you've literally taken 10 years off. My skin problem was (and still is) acne. Because I live in Florida, and I religiously apply sunscreen every day, rain or shine, my skin was incredibly clogged. I am getting good results "cleaning up" my clogged pores, with some breakouts, but everything seems to be dying down and looking good. I've been on this for 3 months and figured it would take another 3 months to really get my pores cleaned out. It leaves my skin a little dry, but not irritated. My masking has been 3 times a week, 2x a week with the DermaMask and once a week with the Pumpkin Peel and then the PS Mask.
Now that I've tried the Radiant Reflections samples instead at night, is it my imagination, or is the RR cleaning out my pores? My skin practically leaps into my hands to get that elixir on! I can't believe how beautiful the RR leaves my skin. I keep looking at it like a stranger in the mirror -- HA! That must be someone elses beautiful skin!
I just want to be careful, since I don't want to go backward with my skin clearing progress. And I don't want to over-exfoliate (too many little spider veins hanging around from overmanipulating my skin I'm sorry to admit). I had tried samples of the Glow pack and it really broke me out. I do keep the Soap on hand however, love that stuff.
Thanks!!!!!
p.s. Kudos for the fabulous makeup and hair and body lines. Love the Honey Rose & the Bliss Elixir. I was a member of the Club for another line of mineral makeup, but I've cancelled my membership ... the silk makes an incredible difference, my skin looks flawless!
from Giada
Dear Patricia, I am fairly new customer (Feb 2007) and I have just placed yet another order after having tried a bunch of the samples below. I am also on my second PS Toner as well – I love that stuff... ;-)) I was actually trying to order a hydrosol following your advice on how to save money on the toners for cleansing purposes, but it seems that you are out of stock – correct?
Anyway, that wasn’t why I decided to write to you... I was reading your “about page” and it all makes so much more sense to me now. I truly feel different when I use your products; apart from the fact that my skin looks and feels amazing, everyone telling me how amazing I look, questioning what I have done, but it’s as if I feel different once I start my skin regime both mornings and nights. And now I truly believe it is because your care for the products and spirituality carries through. Let me explain....
I live in NY, I am an actress and I lead a fairly stressful life, although I try to take it easy, I exercise and all those good things, but the simple nature of being in a big city can’t help but have an impact on you, so when you’re a sensitive person like me, small things can really change your life.
Your skincare has changed my life!
I now value my time in the mornings and evenings, where I get to have my “my time”, as I like to call it, where I can nurture my skin. I have done that sometimes in the past, but usually it was reduced to something that had to be over and done with in a hurry. -This may sound crazy; but it’s not I promise ;-) I feel like your products have the integrity in them, to make the end user –in this case me- not wanting to rush, but to value and ENJOY the time and care I spend doing it. -What can I say... I really believe that because your passion and love goes into the making of the products, it carries through and us sensitive beings in the other end using them feel it. -THANK YOU!!!
I know this isn’t a testimonial as such, and you are probably busy and inundated with emails everyday. But you two women do such a special job that you need to hear some thank yous too ;-)
All the best, P.S I can’t wait till I my next movie gets big enough, so that if you get to see press releases one day, you can see what wonders your skincare does on me –even in the heavy lights of a set...
from Marge at Nature's Gift ~ Site of the month
Paricia Westervelt, a licensed esthetician, has been a client and friend of ours forever, it seems. A few months ago she sent us a generous sample package of the skincare products she produces at Anna Bellina. She creates wonderful treatments for 'experienced' skin. Cleansers, masques, gentle exfoliants, serums, moisturizers. All made with our essential oils and hydrosols along with other exotic botanicals. She has another line, "Honey Rose" but we've not experienced it yet. (I especially liked the Firming Serum for use under my eyes, and the toner...loved the scent of the toner!) If you don't want to create your own, I highly recommend her products.
from Sharon at All Natural Beauty
Their Rose Nutra Elixir has been getting rave reviews over at our Forum, so I just had to check out what all of the commotion was about. Boy am I ever glad that I did. I received my beautifully packaged bottle and began using it right away under my Anna Bellina moisturizer. My skin feels silky and alive every time I use it. Rose Nutra Elixir is the perfect example of an all-natural beauty product that will make your skin come to life again! Used as a serum under your moisturizer, you will feel the healing, softening and firming action that these special ingredients will bring. This is like liquid gold to the skin, and I highly recommend it!
from Baerbel
The Patricia's Selection Creme is awesome! The sample I ordered recently lasted two weeks and has reduced the redness of my face. And Bliss Elixir is absolutely the best body lotion I have ever used. Many commercial products have caused little bumps on my upper arms but not your elixir. My arms are for the first time in many years bump free. I also use the elixir on my feet, there must be something in the lotion that gently exfoliates (or maybe it's the combination of Elixir/Foam), my very dry feet and the cracks on my heels are gone! Better than any foot lotion I've ever used! Thank you! I do have some brown patches and creepiness/sagging specially around the eyes that I hope will disappear with continuing use of your products. Thank you for keeping up with the latest discoveries in skincare!
from April
This merchant is absolutely outstanding, as are her products. Customer service and communication are top-notch. Best skin care product line ever.
from Karyn
I have tried everything from expensive to inexpensive to pharmaceutical and love, love, love your skin care and cosmetics (tried liquid minerals and the ‘other’ powdered mineral line – yuck – heavy and drying and emphasized lines). After going through chemotherapy twice, my skin was dry and lined and tired and drab and I aged almost overnight. It’s been a long road back, but the biggest impact (and in the shortest time) has been your products. There has not been one product thus far that I regret trying.
As a result of the breast cancer I come in contact with quite a few women in similar situations and have started to pass along your info and website. As you can imagine … organic is key, but so is efficacy.
Thank you for not only your products, but you patience and willingness to answer questions and provide guidance.
from Gina
Hi Patricia! I felt compelled today to email you and tell you WOW! I got my samples 4 days ago and frankly, I had ordered them because I have been so curious about your
products. I use organic products I either make myself or purchase at the health food store near me, but have always been intrigued by your website. So, I ordered my samples so I could stop wondering, but didn't really plan on
seeing any big difference. I have to tell you, I keep looking in the mirror and saying "are those dark eye circles really gone?" or "is my face really firmer, or do I just think it is??" I've always used a hodge-podge of products and shied away from "lines" because it was such a big investment! So I'd buy here and there. What I realize now is that I can't afford NOT to be using your products since I turned 40 this year and have really seen my skin start to age. So, THANK YOU! And thanks for the quick delivery of my samples and how long do you think the PS line will be on sale since I have to save my pennies
because I want to BUY IT ALL! Thanks for your time, and I gotta say - they really work!

from Lisa
I had to let you know how pleased and impressed I was with the samples I ordered! I could not believe how generous the samples were. When I get something from Mary Kay it is just a few dabs of the product—not even enough to really try it out!
So far, I love everything. I ordered all of the Dermaclear line. My skin is looking good, I especially like the scrub—the smell is wonderful and my skin is super soft after using it.
Also, cannot believe how much I like the mineral make-up. I tried minerals one other time, but with my oily skin—it would break up.
I asked for the light and medium neutral because I wasn’t sure which would work for me. I am a fair skinned brunette. I am using both and I love the results. First I put the light on and then use the medium over my cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. It makes me look like I have a healthy glow and tan. I also like using a brush instead of my fingers which I use for my Mary Kay foundation. I am giving it a few tests though… I wanted to see how it would hold up after I cut my lawn and went bike riding---beautiful! Now, for the nine-hour work day. My face feels like it can breathe and it does not feel heavy like I thought it would. I guess I cannot say enough about your products! Thank you! Thank you!
from Joanna
Just wanted to let you know that I was reading that ingredient list you have ("Natural Ingredients") and I wanted to say that I am really, really, really impressed by the extensive stuff you've got -- even Beta Glucan! (I'm gonna assume that beta glucan is in the PS stuff, because it's extraordinary.) All these ingredients that the media and celebrities have been fawning over all these years, like Idebenone and Matrixyl and Hyaluronic Acid, and you already have it all, less expensive, more powerful, and created with heart. Kudos to that. It might explain why I keep coming back and why I recommend you to all my friends. I don't think I could honestly find a better online place for truly powerful skin care that also heals the mind and spirit. You make sure that there is love in everything you do: I wish everyone could be like that. Your wealth of personal knowledge is staggering, your honesty is refreshing, your compassion is boundless, and your sense of humor rocks! Anna Bellina really is the website to go to for total skin health and spiritual wellness, and I want everyone to know. I love you guys!
from Bonnie
I just had to drop you a note and let you know how flabbergasted I am! In the last order I placed, I ordered a sample of the Firming Serum. Well, OMG! I couldn't believe that after just 1 application there would be such an amazing and noticeable difference. I did a double take when I glanced in the mirror, and even my husband noticed too, except he just thought I had lost some weight....MEN! LOL!
Anyway, my jowls...well, let's just say I'm still trying to figure out where they went, and hey, I have a jaw line again! Plus the overall firm look to my face. If I had to describe the Firming Serum in just one word, it would have to be WOW!
Needless to say I will be placing a full size order for the Firming Serum just as soon as I can decide what else I need, rather want....LOL! I don't want to ever be without this fantastic stuff! And of course, just to let you know, I'm still loving everything else too, and I know that will never change. Nothing but Anna Bellina touches my face! One of your biggest fans...
from Marcy
Patricia, I discovered your wonderful products just in time !! In my early forties, I began to notice fine lines around my eyes and beginning expressions lines. Your products nurture both skin and spirit. In only four months, my skin's radiance has returned and it is much clearer. I have also noticed a decrease in fine lines and beginning wrinkles. Most importantly, I know that your products are healing and rejuvenating my skin...naturally.
Thank you, Patricia Westervelt for the skincare expertise you readily share and the incredible product lines you have created. You are a blessing to all of the "over 40 ladies" who believe that we get better as we get older !! (Now, we look better, younger and more beautiful, too !!)
from Joanna
This is a testimonial about how I use the Bliss Elixir and Signature Creme to ease pain. I have mild cerebral palsy on my left side, which causes complications with my muscles and nervous system. I have sciatica in my right leg, constant lower back pain, and my ankles swell and become inflamed and painful nearly every day. I know about the pain relieving powers of MSM and Emu Oil, both of which are in those two products. And I know that Frankincense, in the Signature Creme, is good for inflammation. I started massaging them into my ankles, back, and the back of my thighs, first the Elixir and then the Creme. I can't tell you what a relief it is: the pain is gone within seconds, and it lasts for hours. My normally clenched, tense, and
spastic muscles feel loose and relaxed. Plus, my skin is super-smooth and soft! I have noticed that since I have been rubbing the two products into my thighs and glute area (where sciatica targets) I've even noticed the skin looking firmer and smoother, even though I have been told I "don't really have cellulite". I think the chlorella in the Elixir (plus the DMAE and the Matrixyl and the Hyaluronic Acid) is
helping with that. So, I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with all of this. I get to keep my youthful skin, and I get to have excellent pain relief! Well, done, AB and Patricia! I love you all the more now.
from Marcy
Knowing the importance of nutrition for overall health, I use only Anna Bellina.com skin care products for nourishing and rejuvenating my skin. I use these products with confidence because Patricia Westervelt, a seasoned Professional Esthetician, has researched, developed and formulated them.
Most importantly, Patricia always enthusiastically shares her expertise and product knowledge when I contact her. I am also inspired by the insightful information and skin care recommendations on the website.
I am truly grateful to Patricia Westervelt for providing the highest quality natural and organic skin care products and unsurpassed customer service at Anna Bellina.com.
from Shannon
Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I am enjoying all of the products I have recently purchased. I have used Skinbio's SRCP's almost 7 years along with at home chemical peels about the same amount of time, and some fairly strong daily exfoliants. And while I feel I have great skin, I had recently began to feel *something* was missing from my routine. After reading up on your site, it clicked---I was not nourishing and moisturizing nearly enough. While I have used pure hyaluronic acid and emu oil, mixed or separately for quite some time, it just seemed like these weren't really working as well for me anymore. I purchased the hydrogels and PS serum to help add moisture and the CoQ10 is lovely as well. I have not tried any other skincare lines in many years, as nothing else really had the research behind it like Skinbio, so your notation of Dr. P's SRCP really caught my eye. I felt your products had a great combo of time proven organics and well as cutting edge, research-proven ingredients. My skin looks fabulous, I wear only a light dusting of mineral foundation under my eyes, no foundation needed anywhere else....I am even forgoing blush these days, my skin just has a nice slight glow.
And thanks to you, I am now toning both AM and PM, not just PM, and I am spritzing with toner quite a few times a day. You have some really outstanding products and I consider myself a tough customer to impress from all of the self study I have done on skincare the past 7-8 years! :-) Excellent, fast shipping too I might add. I have already told my best friend about you and she plans on making a sample order soon. Thanks again and have a great day!
from Liza
i have been using the parasol sunscreen, rose hydrogel, and derma-glo moisturizer for a week now and i just love them. the sunscreen is so light and not greasy at all under my mineral powder. this will definitely be my holy grail sunscreen. there are days when just the parasol sunscreen on top of my vitamin C serum is enough moisture for my combo skin. no mid-day oily t-zone at all. my 11 year old daughter who has very sensitive skin is also using the parasol sunscreen and she loves it. we both use the hydro-gel, but i use the derma-glo moisturizer on top of the hydro-gel at night. even our neighbor who had some irritation on her skin and around her lips tried the hydro-gel and she informed me that the next day her skin felt better and her lips were not sore anymore. and, oh, the gentle exfoliant is fabulous. it's like feeding my face with nutritious plants from an organic farm. i don't think it looks "nasty or greenish" (as the testimonial stated) at all. i thought it looked naturally organic -- maybe because i'm just so into natural stuff! anyways, i love the way it softens my skin.
thanks for making such wonderful products, and for having them in pump bottles. i never worry that my products will be contaminated. absolutely LOVE your products!

I just received your order safe and sound. Thank you for your excellent packaging and service. I was just about to leave the house when the package arrived. The woman,
Brenda that I got the Derma-Clear skin care gift for is the local Post Master in my little town. She is just as excited as I am to try out your line. It's so nice to have your own private skin care specialist...YOU!!! I appreciate your personal touch and concern for your clients.
I have always been fond of Emu Oil, Silk-my best hair conditioner, Virgin Coconut Oil and being of Italian extraction: Olive Oil and Garlic, of course. And I always
take time to smell the roses...literally. My Rosa Rugosas have the most lovely huge rose hips.
It's so wonderful to see a natural looking product, in the rough, so to speak. I hope this is the start of a lasting relationship. And, with every compliment I receive, will be the potential new client for you. There is nothing better than the look of radiant skin and a matching smile. I will look forward to trying out my new goodies tonight.

from Baerbel ~ Patricia's Selection line
The Patricia's Selection creme is awsome! The sample I ordered recently lasted two weeks and has reduced the redness of my face. And Bliss elixir is absolutely the best body lotion I have ever used. Many commercial products have caused little bumps on my upper arms but not your elixir. My arms are for the first time in many years bump free. I also use the elixir on my feet, there must be something in the lotion that gently exfoliates (or maybe it's the combination of elixit/foam), my very dry feet and the cracks on my heels are gone! Better than any foot lotion I've ever used! Thank you! Next month I'll order a full size of the P's Selection serum. It's a bit pricey but I expect it to last about 3 months. The P's Selection Eye Cream will follow once I've finished the Rose Eye cream which seems to last forever. I'm 52 years old and with the exception of a few laughlines around the eyes my skin is smooth. I do, however, have some brown patches and creepyness/sagging specially around the eyes that I hope will disappear with continuing use of your products. Thank you for keeping up with the latest discoveries in skincare!
from Alexandria ~ Patricia's Selection Crème
Words can't express how wonderful this crème is! For the first time, I have found a crème that actually makes the improvements it claims. In just a few weeks my skin is truly softer and firmer. Even my skin tone looks more vibrant. I truly hope you continue this line.

The products are shipped immediately (so far Ive placed 2 orders w/Anna Bellina, & received them in a day). The BEST Ive dealt with so far!!! I truly wish that all web-based businesses were this good! All the others could certainly take lessons from this merchant in customer treatment and satisfaction. THANKS!!

Body:There are just not enough words to express how great Anna Bellina Organic Skin Care and their owner are to deal with. It is so rare to have any issue, and it is never one that they have control over, but still they are willing to go the extra mile to resolve it. Their products are the best and they are the best. That topped with the glowing
compliments I receive from friends about how great my skin looks has surely made me a lifelong customer.
from Lynn
sometimes a person can do the seemingly littlest act of kindness that means so much. this person will break their own rule and go out of the way and make a person so happy--not for having the thing itself, but for the knowledge that sometimes someone cares enough to remember. thank you tricia so much for your thoughtfulness. i want to
reciprocate for your being so sweet, but you already have all the things that i deem valuable. so i guess the *thanks* is all i got to give. but i do tell everyone who cares to know where to go for the finest.
Hi, As you know just placed another order. As you also know I am hooked on the CoQ-10 for dry skin. Well, I use as much on my neck as I do my face, so I need a double order! I was going to just e-mail you again, but thought others may be interested. For anyone who does not like the look of an aging neck, the CoQ-10 Moisturizer will make a very visible difference in an amazingly short time, esp. for the crepey neck skin and blotchy look. I used to basically ignore my neck because everything else did nothing. Zilch. Nada. ZERO. and I am old enough to have tried a LOT of products. But, since "hope springs eternal" I started using it on my neck anyway after a generous Firming Toner for Dry spritz. It's just great. For the face....skin feels like silk and the elasticity on face and neck has actually improved; something I thought could not really happen. The stick with the program part is about using the whole routine faithfully. Cleanse, exfoliate (I "heart" whipped scrub), mask, tone esp. with cotton pads, (there IS a difference in pads) moisturize with whatever suits you and mist, mist, mist.
P.S. I don't post that often but when I do it's hard to shut me up. Well, Gotta get back to work.....
from Jenny ~ in reference to not using impersonal auto responder emails or voice menus on phone
Thanks for the personal acknowledgement! Don't know how you do it, but am glad you can as it is very refreshing in a time where the human element is pretty much excluded in so many communications these days. Gosh, you are too funny! I love it!! Have a lovely day!! We appreicate all the work you do in the lab!
from Hillary
Anna Bellina offers unique, potent, superb products and loving customer service. tricia's business has grown so much in the three months I have been using her products, and yet she is still able to make you feel you are her only client. Orders arrive timely and in perfect order, and tricia is only an e-mail away. And most importantly, my skin has never looked better!
from Diana
There's also a "spiritual," feng shui, positive energy thing to your products, or at least, that's what I get when I use them. Must be that you manage to put a little of yourself into every product you mix in your cauldron. It's an added benefit that I doubt most people even consider or realize, but for those of us in tune with that energy, you definitely generate something good for us.
from Jean
...got to tell you again how much I love this oil. I have used Rose Oil previously, but this is quite different. I don't know if it is the Rose Oil or a combo of the Serum, Moisturizer...and Seaweed mask, but my skin feels so "alive". (It even makes me walk differently!) lol...I feel so 'empowered'. LOL...I am appreciating your products to the max!...no need to respond; I just wanted to gush!
from Starla
My husband told me for the first time this week how he's noticed my skin is looking so soft and beautiful. We've been married for 24 years now, so you can imagine how good it made me feel. Thanks again for such wonderful products!
from Joanna
Well, it's been a few days since I got the Pore Minimizer serum. It's definitely starting to work. I am extremely impressed. My skin looks clearer, more "purged".
It's already glowing. I've started recommending the Pore Minimizer on a couple of online forums that I belong to. I'm really excited about the results! I'll give you another update in a couple of weeks.

from Carla
The most amazing thing to me is the pores on my cheeks. I noticed a few years ago having some "enlarged" pores on my cheeks (I have always had smooth, no pores skin) and asked about it at my last facial. Imagine my dismay when I was told they were not "enlarged" pores, but "aging" pores. What? Horrors! Then, so showed me if I pulled my cheeks a little, they disappeared. I wanted to smack the aesthestician :-),but then she gave me a wonderful massage and I quickly forgave her! Well, the good news is, they are almost gone. I have been putting a little bit of my smoothing serum on them, not really expecting any results, and certainly not this soon, but wow! And once I put foundation on, you can't even see them.
from Drema
I guess I must have not posted it, but I do use the Raspberry Cucumber mask and love it! Here's what I use it for...some mornings if I get up with 'puffy eyes' (too much salted popcorn the night before will do it...), I grab this out of the fridge and smooth it on the undereye and upper lids area. Let is 'sit' while I feed cats, check Binx's blood glucose, give him his insulin injection, drink coffee etc. By the time I am ready to shower, the 'puffs' are way down and I can go out in public without scaring small children. Nice little mask; please keep it in the lineup :)
from Anne
(Patricia's Selection Mask) ...Alone, for sure. The way I am, I could "crack" myself up looking in a mirror, but the shocked looks on someone else's face...forget it. It would be over! That mask feels like a mini face work out. I need that. ...Stocking up on masks and another exfoliant. Will try not to overdo it. I'm hooked on the way my skin feels/looks when it's been exfoliated. And, those cotton squares are so much better than the usual. Hard to imagine a big difference in cotton pads, but those are really superior for skin care routines. Thanks.
from Amber
No need to respond, I just wanted to say thank you really...Patricia, thank you so much for taking the time out to answer my questions thoroughly. Your awesome customer service in conjunction with your wonderful quality products make your skincare line second to none. Trust me, I've given the link to your website out quite a bit, telling others of what a difference your products can make, and how your products are far superior, a great deal in part, b/c your products lack all the junk and synthetics in mainstream products bought at the drugstore or department store. I hope you realize how much of a difference you make in so many peoples lives. Thank you Ms. Tricia! And the fact that you included a sample of your acnacea in my current order was extremely generous and wonderful. I couldn't believe it! Know that your generosity is very much appreciated! I can't wait to give the Acnacea a try! I look forward to finding that it works for me so that I know longer have to subject my skin to Benzoyl Peroxide and it's damaging effects.
from Julie
Also, I wanted to share with you, that twice in the past couple of months I have had people tell me I certainly don't look my age. Now, it is either the fact that I don't act my age or it is your wonderful products! Maybe a combination. :-) Tricia, I have to say, your products are wonderful. I keep adding to my regime, and I am beginning to throw out my "other" stuff. When I stop using yours, and go to my old products to try to use them up, I don't like them. I hate wasting product, but I truly don't like the feel of them in comparison to yours. Thank you also for taking the time to answer my many questions.
from Hillary
I used the new whipped scrub and then the strawberry mask, and I don't know which one did it, or maybe it's the combination, but my skin has NO pores and is so smooth! I love the consistency of the strawberry mask. Thanks for everything you do!
from Mary
I just wanted to write you to thank you for recommending the Heli/jojoba blend from Marge (Nature's Gift) to me for mosquito bites. I ordered it from Marge and yesterday, I got 3 HUGE mosquito bites on my leg that started to swell badly and turn red. I immediately put a drop of the heli/jojoba blend on each bite, and within one hour, the bites were GONE as if nothing had happened. This is miraculous!!!! I would never have ordered this product if you hadn't told me about it. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to Marge to let her know how grateful I am. Again, your customer service (and Marge's of course) is beyond exceptional and I am so glad to have found the both of you!!!!
from Jean
This is a nice testimony to Tricia's Golden Halo shampoo. I had used this again last night; this a.m. my DH says: 'why don't you leave your hair that way; it is *beautiful*'......hmmm...(smiles)..same old, same old hair STYLE, so must be the appearance OF the HAIR. Then, bless his little heart, he proceeded one step further and said: 'you are a *beautiful* woman'.....ahh that word again! The fact that HE thinks so is all that matters. You can't get no higher than that!.....maybe I could press/pat the shampoo into my face!?.....lol.
from Drema
I'll keep you posted on the Clarifying Toner. We've already had some well over 90 degree days here in Arizona, and the oil is starting to kick up a bit. But I'm happy to report, it is sooooo much better on a day to day basis since I discovered Anna Bellina! A million thanks to you!
from Kerri
Best for last... Honey Rose Damask Rose Oil-- you girls were not kidding with all your raves on this product! I am not totally in love with the smell, because I don't like the smell of roses that much. This doesn't smell that much of roses, so I like that! What I love is that literally I use a drop or two and that is enough for my whole face. I have used it twice under my makeup, during the day, and I love it. I have used it at night too, and again, wonderful. Definitely a must have product!

Wow, wow, wow! First off, I don't like lotion. I really dislike using it, b/c it feels greasy, and wet and like it's on you, but as you all know it is a necessity at times. I got this in my order yesterday, and I can't believe (why can't I believe? I should know by now!) how fabulous it is. I pumped some out for my hands b/c they are dry and actually getting sandpaper-y. They usually get this way b/c I have to wash my hands alot, and I won't use lotion until I can't stand how they feel anymore. I rubbed this in....then pumped out some more. Rubbed up to my wrists. Pumped out some more. Rubbed all over forearms. Pumped some more...apparently I can't stop now. Honey-Rosed my upper arms. Went to pump out some more and made myself stop. I NEVER do things like this. This lotion goes on smooth and sinks in instantly. Then your skin is left feeling silky...not greasy or anything like that....just silky. THEN I walked around smelling my hands all day. (sorry for the mental picture) This stuff is great. You put it on and it doesn't feel like it's ON.

On my recent order, I got some Vitamin K to add to my eye serum and moisturizer. I must say just within the past 2 days of adding some, the red marks on my face have reduced. I don't have many anymore (thank God and AB) and some old ones were fading already but are almost non-existent now. I had tried Vitamin K products in the past and they never worked on the marks. I figured, what the heck, this is probably better, since its straight up Vitamin K. I would recommend any chicks out there with red marks from acne to get some to add to their moisturizer.
from Susan
These skin care products are absolutely wonderful! If you are looking for products that are preservative free and that are totally healthy, then ANNA BELLINA is the company to buy from. As a former flight attendant, I have tried many many brands, only to find out that the ingredients contain formaldehyde and petro chemicals. The products on your shelf may say natural or organic, but look closer! After studying product ingredients,and a multitude of product lines, I chose Anna Bellina skin care. This line offers samples to try first, and valuable product education for your skin type. Give it a try, you will love it, and your skin will too!
from Julie
I received some of the new products about two weeks ago and have tried the Botanical Cleanser, Eye Gel, and Cranberry Grains. I love, love, love the eye gel. I have a puffy eye problem most mornings, so I use this gel and it totally unpuffs my eyes. I still use the Eye Serum at night and sometimes in the am depending on the puffiness of my eyes. The Eye Serum has helped diminish what lines I did have under my eyes (I'm 28). I received a full-size of the Botanical Cleanser and love to use this in the shower in the morning. It is slightly foaming, and has a nice scent to it (more of a soapy scent than the Honey Cleanser). I feel that it helps cleanse my super-oily skin in the morning before MMU. I have used the Cranberry Grains with my Honey Cleanser at night. I feel that this product is more for sensitive skins and that I get much more exfoliation from the WONDERFUL Gentle Exfoliator. The Cranberry Grains are good for those days in between using the Gentle Exfoliator.

from Lorrie
Excellent products. This is what I've been looking for. Can't tell you how great my skin is after very little use so far. I don't care what anyone says, there is magic fairy dust in these products.
from Margo
This stuff ROCKS. I cannot believe how great my skin looks and feels after just a short time using AB products. My faves are the eye cream, firming serum, Co-Q10 moisturizer and the stinky seaweed mask. LOL! Don't get me wrong... I still like the my old skincare line a lot and am still using some of it here and there, but nothing I have ever tried has given me the visible results that AB does. You know how the spokes person/founder of that "philosophical" skincare line is always talking about "makeup optional" skin? Well, I tried her products, but never got there. I came pretty close with my last skincare line, but now I REALLY can go without makeup and feel comfortable. I did it this past weekend... ventured out to run errands with only a little lip gloss and mascara on. A whole new experience for me!! Truly! :-)
from Serena
Thanks for getting me hooked on this line! I love it! I'm jumping in here to say that I have been using the CoQ-10 moisturizer and luckily enough, I haven't been breaking out at all. I put 2 drops of it in my hand with a spritz of the toner and use the press/release method all over. I hear ya about using lotions on your face. Since my skin is oily/acne prone, I worry all the time too! Give it a shot, I don't think you will be disappointed. My skin has been very thirsty as well.
from Jean
I just got my order of the Moisturizer and a sample of the Damask Rose Oil. I love both! The Damask Rose Oil is so wonderful; I want a full size of this ASAP! I have used Rose Oil before, but this is quite different...it is marvelous. All women need to try this one!
from a customer
...I'm still on my samples. This is odd, I'm usually oily but now I'm a bit dry. I was using the Toner for oily skin, but stopped for the time being. It could be the change in weather, I just don't know. I do really like this line. It is really working on the puffiness around my eyes (allergies) and this is a first!
from Marli
Thanks, Patricia! I'm so excited to use the serum and
I am completely out of toner and feel lost without it.
Isn't is strange how quickly we can become accustomed
to something? I guess it's not too strange given the
quality of your products. They really are food for
the skin! And here's a funny little aspect to the
product...my fiance is a real health concious person
and into naturally items, so he absolutely loves the
smell of your products...he calls me his vegetable
girl. : ) It cracks me up on a daily basis.
from Daniell
I forgot to mention the scrub. I'm going to use it in a few minutes. It smells nice, is creamy, not very thick and works very well. It doesn't make me red and irritated, but is a gentle scrub. I'll probably order a full size of that, too.
from Lourdes
I bought the special and plan to give my mother the moisturizer. I love the cleanser and toner best and find the serum and eye cream so soothing. I love using the products when I get home from work. It feels like a coming home to a spa treatment. There is definite improvement and what I love is the soothing feeling all these products have. I also hope to try more of them, but am scared to keep looking at the site. At the moment I feel there should be a bouquet of roses in the bathroom to go along with the luxury feeling of these products :)
from a customer
...They just smell so heavenly! I thought the same type of thing yesterday evening. I washed my face in the shower and didn't feel well. Although it didn't make me feel better, the scent and feel of the cleanser perked me up a bit. It was a nice little treat. Then following it up with the toner was even nicer. I really love this line, too. I'm still learning how much to use, but once I do, it'll really be heaven. I can't believe how much my oil production has balanced. My skin is no longer oily! It's amazing!
from Carlene
I just received my order. I just want to tell you I truly respect your products. It's hard to find quality products that are so pure. My skin has been healthy for the most part but very sensitive and dry. Using your products I truly see a difference. My skin is addicted to the toner, hehe. I was also interested in the custom blending for my next order, what exactly can you do? and also I think I am going to be stocked on the moisturizer for a while and was wondering how long the shelf life is since it's all natural. Thanks so much and Best Regards.

...o.k...YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THE ROSE MASK......It is a "wow"....it made me pink and flushed {and sort of scared me there for a minute}...but after my skin was so glowy and sooooo soft. I guess it is like a detoxifier type thing. I don't think I could have one clogged pore anywhere! My skin looks marvelous today and applying MU was effortless. The mask felt very warm to me (almost heat-activated and that did sort of alarm me, so I did not leave on long)....but the after-effects are pretty darn impressive!
from Ellen
Just wanted to say that I received my Anna Bellina skin care samples (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, mask, exfoliant). Thank you! (Already had the eye cream sample from awhile back -- see, I found you long before you were discovered here! LOL!)
from Lauren
All I know is that my peri-menopausal clogged pores are now totally clear for the first time in months. I'd like to keep them that way!
from a customer
...I really love them so far! I've only used them 3-4 times, (haven't tried the mask yet) but can already see a slight refining of my skin tone. Very nice! I am usually afraid of creamy moisturizers, as I'm an oily girl, but this one melts into my skin very nicely and doesn't leave me greasy. I even like the eye cream better now, after finally reading the directions! I think I was using too much before, and putting it too close to my lash line. So now it will get the use it deserves. :) Ladies, you need to try this line! It's really luxurious and smells great, too!
from Diana
Excellent, Anna Bellina's customer service is second to none. The website is user friendly, ordering is simple/easy, and the products are wonderful. Thanks for the quick response. Your website is so informative and so soothing to look at! My boyfriend "found" you on the web, went to your website, placed an order and now I'm the one who's hooked! He gave me some of the samples (seaweed mask, eye gel) he bought, and I'm thrilled even with the immediate results.
from Diane, a fellow esthetician
We received your literature and wonderful samples today. Thank you. So far in the research we have been doing online, your products are the highest quality, great packaging, and most beautifuly scented. You obviously know what you are doing! You are right about Jurlique - we have decided to discontinue our relationship with them after buying from them for five years- yes, their product is super, but they expected us to buy in large volumes monthly and got snippy when we weren't able to. Thank you again, we will be in touch soon.
from Samantha, a fellow esthetician
The package was on my front porch when I got home from work yesterday. I have been a licensed esthetician for over 13 years, and have always had a strong interest in aromatherapy, holistic medicine, etc. I knew as soon as I opened your package that it was the real deal, just from the fresh aroma! As someone with very oily/acne prone skin which is ALSO extremely sensitive, I have always had a hard time finding products that work...and I have tried them ALL! haha I was just so impressed with the PURITY of your products...it's about time someone did it right! I used to think Yonka came pretty close to utilizing essential oils and herbs...but your products blow them away. I've only had a chance to try the serum so far...and I loved it! I anticipate placing another order with you very soon!
from Pam
Patricia, I received the samples today and used them tonight. They are absolutely wonderful!! I'll be in touch with you probably one day this week to place an order. I may get the cleanser and toner first and then about two weeks later get the eye cream and serum. I would like to take a bath in the serum because it calmed my skin down so much. Finally a product that made it stop hurting instead of hurting it worse!!
