this product provides no discernible plumping action although it does lay a very nice foundation for lip products to follow. i find that i get less 'bleeding' around the edges and that my lip products stay put longer. will definitely re purchase

ok, just about good enough to eat, whether it is the crunchy sweet exfoliator which performs superbly or the spicy shea buttery plumper which does all that iredale claims. this product is a win/win on all counts.

i generally only remember to put on handcream when i get in the car and since i had recently noticed a ffew age spots creeping (or is that creping) up on the back of my hands, it figured it was time to give my hands the same attention i give my face in terms of SPF. i looked around for some time for a product that would (a) moisturize, (b) provide adequate full spectrum sun protection, and (c) help reduce the discoloration i've already gotten. i was very pleased with the price point of this product as well as all of it's features. a word of caution though, it is not the most moisturizing of hand creams, but since i used it while driving, this may not be sooooo bad.

if you're looking for a lip liner that works well with gloss, this is your stick! product will help to line and define lipline on the *outside* leaving room for your gloss on your lips with minimal bleed through. the product also works reasonably well for covering *minute* blemishes as well as lining the lower eye inside rim for a more wide awake appearance. decent versatile product, nothing too outstanding however.

delightful for sensitive skin, no harshness whatsoever. this cleanser is extremely mild and very emollient containing apricot, avocado, sunflower and wheatgerm oils clean fairly well and provide continuous moisturization. as it is a mild cleanser, one might need to use an eye makeup remover to remove the last traces of makeup, especially mascara. henriksen's product is comparable to cetaphil in terms of mild cleansing, but contains no petroleum products (if that is a concern) and is just more elegant to use. of course, there is a price to this luxury, but i'm willing to pay it.

i have found this richly pigmented concealer to be worth the exhorbitant price. at times when my rosacea is flaring and i have 'rudolf' cheeks, this is one of the few products that will actually neutralize my redness. i have used it successfully after electrolysis treatments which leave me quite red. the final test for me however was when my mother last visited me and she had just had a large basal cell skin cancer removed from her nose. the divit that was left behind as well as the discoloration made her very self conscious. she has always chided be about my makeup habit and would never let me touch her, but i asked if she would let me reconstruct a nose for her. (i am an aspiring makeup artist). i took her to sephora, we bought the clarins instant smooth perfect perfect touch for a filler and i color matched her for the amazing concealer. when we got home, i set out with my brushes and patted a bit of the clarins filler and then applied the amazing concealer and dusted with powder. it was about 106 deg. that day and her friends and the rest of the family couldn't even tell that she had just had surgery. needless to say, i was beyond impressed./

it's rare for me to spend $60 on a facial mask, but this one came highly recommended for people with dry, sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. i was so pleased with this product that i continue to repurchase. the moisturizing effects are amazing and the fact that it did not irritate my sensitive skin yet still smelled heavenly was particularly delightful.

this is an excellent product that can provide a multitude of eye looks. you can opt for precision lining or a smudgy/smoky look and the eye shadow (which i didn't even know existed when i purchased) was a delight to find. it is quick and easy to apply, with no flaking. it stays on all day and is really convenient to stow in a makeup bag because of it's versatility.

if the effect you are seeking involves clumping, smudging, and smearing, then this product is your pal. i cannot even understand the good ratings this mascara has received. i am normally fond of stila's products but i received a sample of this and threw it away after one use. the curved brush approach has never held much appeal for me but i think the major problem here was the exceptionally 'goopy' formula.

although the effects of this moisturizer are superb and the smell is devine, there are plenty of other creams with similar ingredients that provide the same moisturization (i'm thinking of cetaphil cream) at a fraction of the price. i pick this up when i see it discounted, otherwise, id rather save my cash.
