I have been using the SpaLift for eyes on and off for 15 years. The only reason I was ever "off" was because I felt I could find something comparable at a lower price. Once the finer department stores stopped carrying the Borghese product line, it was even more difficult to find prompting me to try other department store comps to no avail. They were more expensive and were either too greasy or would roll off when I applied foundation. I certainly can't be accused of trying the others before going back to what works. Face it, when it comes to that delicate under eye you need moisture. That dry look or lifting only exaggerates the fine lines. You will not be disappointed in the product and I find the price on Amazon to be outstanding. Well worth it's weight in gold! I'm done experimenting and trying the others -- I'm sticking to what I know works for me!

This product is equally effective as eye revitalizers I can buy at a drugstore. The dark circles under my eyes didn't disappear, but they were less noticeable in about a week. Regular use keeps the circles easy to hide with concealer. When this is gone, I won't be buying it again. I expect quality from Mary Kay, and what I got was a roll on bottle with an applicator as likely to seize up as to glide smoothly over my skin. I probably wasted a quarter of the contents just rolling the tip around on something until the product started flowing again. Various storage methods do nothing; the roller ball cakes up with moisturizer and stops. No matter how annoying, the technical difficulties are NOTHING compared to the smell. Hmm, how can I put this delicately? This moisturizer combines the aroma of warm orange sherbet with the funk of an athlete's jock area after a hard workout. The smell either dissipates, or I become used to it a couple of minutes after application, but more than once my husband has stopped on the way to a kiss and asked me what's on my face. Aaand that's the dealbreaker. When a guy who's oblivious to gym socks, a full litterbox, and burning toast notices the foul scent of my moisturizer, it's time for a new moisturizer!

Im sure growing up, many of us whom have or wore glasses was called four eyes. The name itself wasn't flattering and most of the time it wasn't meant to be flattering either. Well when I was growing up not only did I have glasses but I also had glasses that magnified my eyes. Being farsighted is rare, but being farsighted and having a prescription of +7 in both eyes is even rarer. What can i say? I guess Im unique. I was very self conscious about my eyes for a long time until I entered middle school and got prescription contact lenses. When I got acuvue oasis my I felt a sense of confidence. I was no longer going to be the girl with magnified eyes. I felt pretty. Another major reason why I liked acuvue oasis so much was because of the amount of comfort they provide. When I place my contacts in my eyes- I don't feel them. Unless I am putting them in or out I don't even notice they're there. These contacts are also very easy to take care of. I recommend that you take these contacts out at night in order to avoid scratchy eyes or losing them in your sleep. Ive accidentally slept in these and woke up with scratchy, dry eyes. A third reason as to why I love this brand is because they are very reliable when it comes to ordering new ones. Acuvue Oasis is made in all sorts of prescriptions which too helps influence why I like them, but whenever I need to order more contacts it takes about a week or 2 at most to get them. Acuvue Oasis is not only my favorite but others favorites also! Both of my parents use Acuvue Oasis and many of friends do also. If that doesn't tell you that it's popular and works than I don't know what will. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone trying out contacts for the first time or are looking for another brand to try Acuvue Oasis. It has allowed me to become more confident in myself because I no longer have to worry about people calling me four eyes or bug eyed. Acuvue is very convenient and very easy to use and you can use the same pair of contact lenses for up to 3 weeks before they start to get bad and in need of replacement. If you want contacts go Acuvue Oasis!

I started using this product on a friend's recommendation. I expected, on the basis of this recommendation, that this eyeliner would not irritate my sensitive eyes. It was excellent. This eyeliner does not cause redness, watery eyes or crumble grit into the eye.

So here's the good and the bad...if you're eyeliner doesn't budge for 12 hours, as this product claims, it makes smudging it on your top lid almost impossible. I've found that yes, the product stays on, but I don't use it unless I have a very long day because I like to be able to work with my product more -- ex. soften the line etc.

I bought this in every color last summer. I have never used another brand of glitter liner so I can't compare. They look really great layered over the same color of eyeliner and the clear one (Distortion) is great over any color. I have trouble putting it over my entire eyelid with the brush if I first put on eyeshadow, it tends to smudge the shadow & make it look blotchy so I rub a little on my finger and pat it on over my eyeshadow gently, it seems to work well that way. If you line your eyes with it you have to let it dry in between coats to get a thicker line of glitter or it bunches up. I also like to put a little in the inner corner or middle of my lower lashes, sometimes even next to the waterline on the inner lashes (be careful not to get it in your eye but if you do it doesn't hurt). It sort of makes it look like a tear, it's kind of cool. I also like to do a cat eye with Midnight Cowboy, the light gold color. It is very subtle (as subtle as glitter can be) and reminds me of an Egyptian goddess. I prefer using this to using glitter shadow as you have more control over the glitter and it won't end up under your eyes and on your cheeks. I think Midnight Cowboy and Distortion are the most versatile colors.

As other reviewers have said, this Eye Pencil is extremely soft. The texture would be better described as an "eye crayon" instead of "eye pencil". The perception of the Eye Pencil will hinge on how durable/smudge-free the Eye Pencil appears to you. There are few things you can do to make the Eye Pencil more durable: DO: -Apply fine, powder foundation on the eyelids before you apply the Eye Pencil. The powder will absorb excess oil and make the Pencil last longer -Sharpen the Eye Pencil before every use. The Pencil is so soft that it loses its pointy tip, even after a single use. You don't want to apply a thick line with this Pencil, because it unavoidably looks smudgy DON'T: -If you use a liquid foundation and find purchasing a powder foundation outrageous, then LEAVE the eyelids foundation-free. Liquid foundation, especially the non oil-free ones make the Pencil smudge almost immediately -If you live in a hot, humid place, then even with my tips above, the Pencil will smudge. Use this Pencil not in the Summer but in cooler seasons -If you are into a perfectly smudge-free eye pencils (maybe these kinds that wash out only with a special cleanser), this Pencil is NOT for you. With tips above, you can make the Pencil last longer without too much smudge. By this I mean that you are presentable in front of other people rather than that your eye lines have not changed AT ALL Overall, the Pencil is one of my favorites, I wear it even to workouts in the gym. Antique Jade (greenish black) complements brown eyes very well.

Hands down the best waterproof eyeliner you will find!!! Stop looking around and purchase this! It goes on very smoothly and cleanly and stays put! I live in Florida and we deal with constant humidity. During the summer months this is all I wear and even on the muggiest of days it doesn't smudge. But, to be honest, I like it so much that's I've been transitioning to wearing it year-round. You can wear this ANYWHERE and it's won't run--pool, beach, weddings, sad movies, etc. The pencil twists up and down readily to control how much product you are applying at one time. Lastly, this waterproof eyeliner comes off easily with eye makeup remover. You don't need anything fancy or extra strength--I am currently using some cheap drugstore stuff. No scrubbing or taking off eyelashes with it. I like this stuff so much I've bought extras and converted some of my girlfriends who are now loyal users of this product. In fact, one of my girlfriends who is getting married next month loves it so much she just purchased it in every color for her wedding weekend festivities and tropical honeymoon. Avon is always reasonably priced and makes a great product. You will not be disappointed. I've tried more expensive ones and don't like any nearly as much. I own this eyeliner in a few different shades: Blackest Night, Midnight Blue, and Copper. Blackest Night - A great dark black! Will give you excellent definition. Midnight Blue - A beautiful dark blue; no 80's flashbacks here. I've worn it with different outfits and it makes my eyes pop just enough (without it being noticeable that I'm wearing blue eyeliner). Copper - Definitely a light brown. If you want darker brown eyeliner for definition go for the Chocolate Brown. I use this more for shading and accenting because it's light against my skin tone (olive/tanned), but it is pretty and not too shiny like you see in some of the teenage makeup. I plan to purchase this is the remaining two colors very soon. I know this is a long review for eyeliner but I really can't say enough good things about it! Happy eye-lining!

Don't even pause to think - buy this stuff! It's hands down, the BEST eyeliner out there. It just glides so easily, never pulls or tugs, and stays put without fading. Really, and I'm the "no frills" gal so you KNOW I don't take time dusting my eyes with powder, all of those other eye products, just to get the stuff to stay on. I get up, swipe some of this on, and I'm off for the rest of the day. This stuff doesn't smear, fade, or get into your eyes. Just a very nice product. And, it's made in Britain. Highly recommend!

I have been using this for about a year! It works much better than the previous brush-on eyeliner I used. It lasts all day, doesn't smudge, and the brush works well. I bought two expensive brushes to try but went back to the one that came with the eyeliner, because it works better
