Gotta love the black honey, it's been around for-evah... gets one star off because it comes off the minute you eat or drink something.

I love the french vanilla shade! I use this on my top lid for a minimal look, it is just a touch lighter than my natural skin tone so it brightens my eye area. Plus I get no creasing whatsoever, and have used this as a setting powder over bright colors.

I really like the metal applicator in this. I have this in Ginger-ly (had to have it!) and think it is a nice neutral beige. The applicator does a better job than using my fingers and I get little to no tugging. There is just enough shimmer to brighten the eyes, but not look silly.

I am terrible at choosing eyeshadow colors, so it is nice this set comes with four matching colors. I have the pink chocolate and can pull off a great smokey eye with it. I want more... I think the portions are good sized too!

This is ok... I had a hard time picking a color, the wheat was too light and the soft brown is a little too dark, but I ended up with the soft brown anyway. It is generous in how much you get, and the brush it comes with works poorly - buy a better brush. I look at it and can't help but wonder if it's just eyeshadow labeled as eyebrow powder.

I have used this mascara since my first Clinique purchase 25 years ago. It doesn't leave my eyelashes tacky. I love the jet brown shade, glad to see they still carry it. It does tend to clump a bit, especially when the tube is getting old. The container itself is lovely to have on my makeup table too. :)

I use it on my face and body, and love love love the smell. I have always had a jar on my vanity ever since they started carrying it here in the US.

I am looking for something with a mineral based sunscreen, and requested samples with my PC order. They sent me full size samples - yey - and so far I love the nude shade. I also got a sand one, will be saving this for the summer! It has a bit more coverage than the PC barely there tint, and feels and wears great!

A little drying for my very dry skin, but very sheer... so sheer that I am having a hard time deciding if the level 1 or 2 looks right. I got full sizes in place of samples, so PC is pushing these hard. I will be putting these up and trying them again this summer!

I have been wanting to try Paula's Choice and decided on the skin recovery system as a "skin care system in a box" option. My skin is very dry and sensitive, and I have been looking for some reasonably priced but advanced skin care products. I like the cleanser & the toner, they are not drying. The 8% AHA gel is "so far, so good". I use it at night and haven't had any problems (no peeling or irritation.) I have to use more than the "few drops" recommended of the antioxidant serum because my skin soaks it up the moment I apply it. With this, and the AHA, I am going to have to be patient and wait longer to see if I notice any difference before I decide to buy more of these in the future. I love the moisturizers... The daily spf 15 lotion is awesome for a chemical-free, it will whiten in the areas that I don't blend it good (eyebrows, hairline) and it wears well all day. In the reviews there is mention of it recently testing higher than spf 15. If It does, I am forever hooked. The replenishing moisturizer is like a balm; white, thick, but not greasy. I have beed using the mask 2-3 times a week and my dry skin is getting better and not feeling so tight. Everything except for the AHA can be used on the eye area. This important to me (I have had "accidents"). All are fragrance-free but some products smell of the ingredients used, normal for unscented products. For a complete system I am impressed, I am usually a wash then moisturize only girl, but have been taking the time to perform the extra steps. I paid just under "a bill" on sale for the kit and think that is quite fair. They also sent me full size products in place of requested samples (I got two tinted moisturizers and two foundations, yey!) I think my skin has gotten clearer and smoother than it was. The true test will be if I decided to get more since it is a mail order product...
