I admit that packaging and nicely worded promises entice me. I should be more suspicious about things Borba claims, but I saw the Borba Skin balance water on sale at my neighborhood Gelson's and I couldn't resist trying. So I bought 2 very nice looking bottles of Borba for 2/$5. I got the pomegranate flavor as it claims to clarify oily skin and clogged impurities which I suffer from. I knew that I probably couldn't see a difference after just 2 bottles but I thought just maybe it would be a miracle juice. I wanted to see if this juice was tasty even though it is 0 calories. Actually, you can taste the 0 calories. They use some kind of sugar substitute, I'm guessing Splenda, and you can definitely taste that artificial-ness. It's also on the tart side. On the
Borba website you can get 12 bottles for $36. Which I guess isn't so bad but if you need to keep drinking this it sure adds up. So for the taste and the price (plus my skin doesn't seem any more clarified than normal)...I'd stick with good 'ol water.
Please. Just leave this bag alone. Because I have one, and I don't like seeing everyone else with one. So forget that it's under $50. Forget that it's designed by Joy Gryson, who used to work for Marc Jacobs. I won't tell you that it's soft, and roomy for all my things, and not at all cheap looking. And it's white, which is a perfect color for the warm months coming ahead.
