Prevage Anti-Aging Eye Moisturizing Treatment

The jury is still out

I started using this eye serum and the face serum about 2 months ago and I've notice a bit of change in the lines around my mouth but the eye stuff didn't do much at all. I am a well-maintained 50+ so I was hoping for more.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara

I don't get it

I have seen more reviews raving about this mascara and so I bought it and tried it and tried it again. It smudged, flaked and disappeared. Not for me.

Max Factor Lipfinity Lipstick

This is a review for Lipfinity Lites

I have used both the regular (gold cap) and the Lites (silver cap) formulas. The Lites formula was/is great but the colors I need are very hard to come by. Once you learn to apply it with a light hand, know when to blot and use the sealer it is great - the lipstick lasts for hours. The regular (gold cap) is hard to put on right, cakes and is too difficult to deal with. For the Lites I give it 7 stars.

Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer Cream Whitening Formula N

No big deal

I really like a lot of Shiseido products especially their Benefiance eye cream (the best of all eye creams for "women in their prime". This whitening cream worked well enough - I didn't notice too much lightening but the texture and smell were fine. It doesn't have sunblock so be aware of that.

Prevage Anti-Aging Treatment

I'm still not sure

I've been using the face serum and the eye serum for a couple of months now and, while I've noticed some improvement in the lines around my mouth, I'm not sure if I'll buy it again when it runs out. I don't know if this is a long-term treatment or if I should have seen better results by now. I haven't gotten any adverse reactions like others I've read about. I followed directions exactly to avoid that since I have sensitive skin.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

does its job well

If you like to set your makeup this is a very efficient powder to use. I use just a bit of the translucient color and it has served me well. It is light, doesn't clog pores and doesn't change color.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat All-Over Brightening Pen

Always in my purse

This has been a staple in my purse for a couple of years now. It is creamy yet potent to last for a few hours. I am very fair so I wish they made it in extra light. Otherwise, it's pretty near perfect. Except the price, of course.

Revlon 3D Extreme Waterproof Mascara

Didn't work for me

I have been looking for a long-wearing mascara and this didn't make the grade. It smudged, flaked and disappeared only a couple hours into the day.

Prescriptives Here To Stay 24-Hour Longwear Mascara

The best I've found

I have tried every mascara that is out there from high end to the cheapies and this one really is great. It stays on all day without smudging, flaking, or disappearing. Some say it is hard to remove. I've always been happy with my Maybelline mascara remover - oily formula. Money well spent!

Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

The best I've found

I have been buying this eye cream for a couple of years now and I've found it suits my needs: dry, dehydrated skin under the eyes. I don't have puffiness and most eye creams try to counteract that factor by taking moisture out of the skin - something I don't need. Shiseido Benefiance Eye Cream gives me the moisture I need. It is a little pricey and I don't appreciate the "false bottom" on the jar but I've tried many eye creams, both expensive and inexpensive and this one is the best so far.
