This is an awesome serum. It brightens the skin using vitamin c, it has vitamin e, green tea, and birch extract, all of which function as great anti-oxidants. I used this for years, and I always saw good results on myself, and on my clients. It is hydrating without being oily, and it has a mild firming effect. I only have two very tiny issues with it. First, I wish it came in a pump bottle instead of with a dropper, which could occasionally be messy. Second, which can be both good or bad, is that if you use too much makeup can sometimes pil off. So less is more if you wear makeup. This is Bobbi's best skin care product.

When I worked as a makeup artist, this was my favorite makeup remover. It does a great job removing makeup, including waterproof eye makeup. The only issue I had was the fragrance was a tad bit too strong. I liked the smell, but it lingered for quite awhile after using it.

Clarins Bright Plus HP Brightening Hydrating Day Lotion SPF 20
Clarins Bright Plus HP Brightening Hydrating Day Lotion SPF 20
I was given a free bottle of this, and while I liked the hydration, the packaging, and the spf, I found it did nothing for evening out skin tone, unless you count preventing sun damage with it's sunscreen. It's not a bad product, but I don't think it lived up to what it claimed.

When I worked in a spa I sold this product, and it is not my favorite, which is bizarre because it has two great things going for it- it comes in a tube which is hygienic, and it has a chemical free sunscreen. My issues with it is that it is not very moisturizing and the color is not natural looking. I am a guy who does not wear makeup, so when I would apply this you could see a whitish cast on the skin under my eyes which looked obvious. For a person who wears concealer on top of it, and who does not have dry skin this could be a nice product, but it's definitely not for me.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30
elizabeth arden ceramide lift and firm day cream broad spectrum spf 30
This is a great moisturizer for normal to dry skin. It plumps, soothes, hydrates, and diminishes redness while providing sun protection. I am a guy who does not wear makeup, but I was a makeup artist for over 20 years who used this on clients regularly. This is one of the few products that I pay full retail for because now that I am out of the business I no longer get it for free. My only complaint is that I wish it came in a tube instead of a jar. They have an oil-free version that comes in a tube, but now that I am in my late 40's I need the richer version.

Just to get this out of the way, I used to work for Elizabeth Arden as a makeup artist. When I used it on clients it was beautiful, it goes on smoothly, and it is the perfect blush for people with dry skin. The only issue is the lack of shades. It is perfect for fair, white women, but that's about it.

I used this mask on myself as well as clients, and I never saw good results. While most chemical exfoliants tingle, this just burns and irritates the skin. After I used it on a few clients I stopped because they invariably turned red and I spent the rest of the facial treatment trying to calm their face down. When I used it on myself, I had the same result. Bioelements has some really good products, but this is not one of them

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules
This is my lost on a desert island product. I worked as a makeup artist and esthetician for over 20 years, and out of all the products I have used, this is my absolute favorite. The capsules keep the ingredients fresh so they are always potent. Ceramides are perfect for my late-40's skin, hydrating and soothing. They also have two forms of vitamin A which helps with texture and collagen production. My only problem is that they put too much product in the capsules, which are meant for single use application. To get around this, I dip a sewing needle in alcohol to kill germs, then I poke a tiny hole in the capsule. I am usually able to get three or four uses from each one.
