EDIT: APR 2013 ok so i am NOT fan of la prairie anymore. BUT,as a person who (in the past) used to use almost everything "la prairie" (i was young and stupid who wanted to feel all those glitsy "luxe" useless brands), anyway the only two products i will allways still love,use and buy would be this and the "cellular microdermabrasian cream". you cannot go wrong with this peel........its simply still amazing :-) i have tried the "natura bisse glyco extreem peel" witch they claim has the "highest percent of glyco's on the market" bla bla bla. i promise you it was like Sh*t. came running back to this one and allways will :-) my skin looks amazing after i use it. its even toned and feels SMOOTH LIKE GLASS ("glass" in a good silky kinda way lol) when using this. i leave it on for 10 min (vs the 3 min it recommends on the package). my skin is red right after using it but it goes away after about 20 min. so i recommend using this at night. i like leaving it on for 10 min cause i fell my skin looks better when its on for that amount of time,plus i use it With my fingers. i just pick some up with a spatula and spread the product with the my fingers on my face. Tip: after this treatment i like using the "multivitamin power recovery masque" by Dermalogica (its a super amazing hydrating vitamin facial masque). then i go to bed with the dermalogica masque on (yes i leave the masque on for the whole night), and in the morning i wake up with skin that looks and feels Beautiful. *i do this routine once or twice a week. enjoy, sarai from israel:-)

My all time favorite cleanser. i went online and ordered a few years ago some revive products of products worth 1500 usd so i could really get the revive "GLOW" lol. i tried there products for allmost two months and.....i hated them,simply Hated them. BUT i have to say that from the two cleansers i ordered of revive (cleanser luxe and this cleanser gentile), this cleanser was so nice i fell in love with it. its superior to any other cleanser i had ever tried and my skin feels sooo clean and looks really good and dew when i use it. plus i dont have that tight feeling that i did when i used other cleansers. i think this is THE BEST CLEANSER IN THE WORLD. i have sensitive combo skin and i feel this will be amazing for allmost anyone (unless you have VERY VERY VERY dry skin). It's a clear gel that appears pale pink in the bottle, But it's actually entirely clear with a slightly runny texture. Not a thick or jelly type of gel, more fluid and silky. It took me a few tries to realize that I actually do only need a small pea sized amount to wash my entire face and neck thoroughly. Seriously, only a pea size or even smaller. I know, I know... so many products claim that thats all that's needed but in this case it's very true. That minuscule amount creates a very thick, plush white lather that removes all traces or makeup (including eyeliner,WP mascara etc...), and it foams up quite a bit. It doesn't strip my skin or leave it feeling tight,and No breakouts or irritation. The scent took some getting used to, but now I find it very really soothing. i really love it! sarai from israel:-)

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THIS! yuk!!! what an ugly bad face cream no words except gross when i was young (and stupid) i was a bigfan of la prairie, but not anymore. anyway back to this piece of "luxe" sh*t....its simply Gross! Sticky and stinky hot mess. If you want your face to look like it was coated in oil, go ahead and buy this. It smells awful. The website described this as a cream-gel. This is not true. This is a thick greasy cream. Nothing special about it. I wouldn't know of any benefits this gives because I returned it after two days. I can honestly say I don't think this would agree with anyone. (Even someone with dry skin!) its that HORRIBLE! I also experienced my skin oiler than usual after using this product. I had to consistently use oil blotting sheets throughout the day. Yes, I have oily skin but, I don't want a moisturizer that will make me feel and look oilier!!! PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS! sarai from israel :-)

I CANNOT BELIVE ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS HERE!!! This was the worst piece of lipmoisturizinglip balm sh*t i ever used... how did this get such high ratings is beyond me :- stupid thick cream that dosent do anything (except sit on lips...ugh). listin girls (and guys) if you are like me looking for the Greatest lip balm and lip treatmint, then just follow what i do and you too will have soft beautiful lips. after years of experimenting and trying ALL the brands out there here is what i do...... ill start buy saying that i am an addect to lip balms, i tried LOTS of different kinds of products ("lip serum's",lip balms,lip scrubs,lip plumpers,etc..). what i found that works the best for me is.... first off ,every night i love to exfoliate my lips (this gives your lips the smooth texture cause it sweeps all the dead skin cells away and that means your lipstick will go on totally smooth and beautiful. i exfoliate my lips with a usual lip exfoliator, and from all the ones i have tried, the best one for me would be (undoubtedly) the "paula's choice lip exfoliant" the reasons for that would be because it comes in a nice soft cream base so its not as harsh on your lips as all those suger based lip exfoliators out in the market (treat beauty,lush,sara happ,bliss and thats to name a few) plus it comes in a small tube (as opposed to 95% of lip exfoliators that come in a jar). so its very handy and hygienic too. after the exfoliation i apply the "Skinceuticals antioxidant lip repair" serum and then wait 5 min. then i apply my lips with a somewhat thick layer of the "Treat coconut cream lip balm". this lip balm is sooo good, its really amazing. its the BEST one i found from tens and tens i have tried all my life. i love to use it because it's lightweight,not gloosy,not waxy,no "heavy sticky" feeling at all, i smooth it on my lips whenever i feel i need to. and most importantly....it gives a Real longlasting moisturized feel to the lips. this is not your typical lip balm that just "sits" on the lips and once it rubs off...your back to square one. i think the Glycerin and coconut oil is what really makes the difference on this balm.. and thats it,that is what i do: paula's choice lip exfoliant - everynight before bed time. "skin ceauticals-antioxidant lip repair" - as a serum after exfoliating at night. "Treat" lip balm as a nightime (and daytime) super great lip moisturizer. have fun, sarai from israel :-)

SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair
Great - i love it (for its antioxidants - not for moisturizing).
ill start buy saying that i am an addect to lip balms, i tried LOTS of different kinds of products ("lip serum's",lip balms,lip scrubs,lip plumpers,etc..). i simply love this serum, and its far better then other "lip srums" i tried in the past. what is it?...... "Skinceuticals-antioxidant lip repair", is an anti aging serum treatment for the lips and what it does is that it is a penatrating multi vitamin and anti oxidant serum that protrcts and nourishes your lips. why is it better then the others i had tried?............. 1.its more moisturizing then others (this item alone will not moisturize enough) 2.it plumps up my lips nicly. 3.it has lots of antioxidants that realy protect lips. now the way i use this is (mostly) at night time before bed. i use it after i exfoliate my lips (directions at the end of this review) the one negitive thing about this item is regarding Its pump packaging. you see,this cream comes in a small pump bottle and after about two weeks of use,suddenly it stops pumping out any cream but DO NOT throw it away! its acctually full, but the problem is that this cream is thick so it sticks to the side of the bottlle and then the pump just cant pump any cream out (and because its not a "see through" pump then you just dont know that) so you assume its "empty". so to fix that,what you do is justtwist (hard) and unscrew the metal package from the pump and then you will be able to pull out the glass bottle inside and there you should see that there is so much cream left inside (i just take a q-tip to take some cream out). i just WISH the company would change this to a "vacuum pump"( i would be willing to pay a litlle more if they would change the packaging of this great lip serum. or you can buy a small half ounce empty cosmetic vacuum pump bottle from e-bay and take out all the cream from its original packaging and fill the vacuum bottle with it. i do that to alot of products i buy but hate their original packaging (mostly jars). and now to my "lip care" regimen............... NIGHT TIME...... first off ,every night i love to exfoliate my lips (this gives your lips the smooth texture cause it sweeps all the dead skin cells away and that means your lipstick will go on totally smooth and beautiful. i exfoliate my lips with a usual lip exfoliator, and from all the ones i have tried, the best one for me would be (undoubtedly) the "paula's choice lip exfoliant" the reasons for that would be because it comes in a nice soft cream base so its not as harsh on your lips as all those suger based lip exfoliators out in the market (treat beauty,lush,sara happ,bliss and thats to name a few) plus it comes in a small tube (as opposed to 95% of lip exfoliators that come in a jar). so its very handy and hygienic too. after the exfoliation i apply the "Skinceuticals antioxidant lip repair" serum and then wait 5 min. then i apply my lips with a somewhat thick layer of the "Treat coconut cream lip balm". this lip balm is sooo good, its really amazing. its the BEST one i found from tens and tens i have tried all my life. i love to use it because it's lightweight,not gloosy,not waxy,no "heavy sticky" feeling at all, i smooth it on my lips whenever i feel i need to. and most importantly....it gives a Real longlasting moisturized feel to the lips. this is not your typical lip balm that just "sits" on the lips and once it rubs off...your back to square one. i think the Glycerin and coconut oil is what really makes the difference on this balm.. so thats it girls,that is what i do: paula's choice lip exfoliant - everynight before bed time. "skin ceauticals-antioxidant lip repair" - as a serum after exfoliating at night. "Treat" lip balm as a nightime (and daytime) super great lip moisturizer. have fun guys, sarai from israel :-)

i am a sunless tan EXPERT(and belive me.....i have tried allmost EVERYONE OUT THERE!!!) i allways loved this self tanner WAAAAAY more then any other one (and i tried sooooooo many high end and some drugstore ones) this gives A VERY GOOD COLOR!!!! (the reason i gave it four stars insted of five is that ITS NOT PERFECT!!! it DOESNT turn into a perfect "brown tan"(but its very close to a bronzed tan with allmont none of any orange tones). i use it in the "bronze" color only and its beautiful and has a subtle glowy tan (BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT IT TURNS INTO A VERY VERY SUBTLE COLOR,SO DONT EXPECT ANY "DRAMATIC" CHANGE!) i hate that its a bit small for the price (50 ml in each bottlle) but who cares,? i love this i use it twice to 3 times a week at night and it keeps me happy and taned (you can use it every day if you want). i use this for the past 3 years and i reccomend it to anyone. i know this product was disscontinued in 2009,but they started making it again about 8 months ago so its still here yayyyy. i know that chanel only sells this in europe and canada for now but i can get this online so im sooooo happy this gives you a subtle honey tan (nooooo orange at all!!!) and the smell,oooooooh my god the smell is like vanilla and honey i really LIKE THAT! the only cons are that..... 1.the color dosent last more then about 2 days 2.the color somtimes "sits" on my nose and it looks like i have blackheads :-( 3.its a very subtle color TIP: you can get it in chanel boutique's in europe or canada or order it from online from the place i order it (if you want to know where you can order it just send me a message) and i promise you guys that its the best self tanner i had tried(to this date) bye :-) sarai from israel:-) UPDATE,NOV 2011: ok i still think this is a GREAT tanner color and scent wise(but not perfect) and i found a self tanner that soooo many raved about and i can say that its PERFECT! i started using the "EXTENDED VACATION MOROCCAN MINERAL SHIMMERING SANDS FACIAL TANNER" and it is.........AMAZING!!!!! A-M-A-Z-N-G BROWN TAN! and color stays about 5 days and no "blackhead look" on the nose!!! look it up on amazon for its amazing reviews:) i soooo wanted to try it but NO ONE shipped it int'l(and i live in israel) but finally i found an online store that shippes it internationally with soooo CHEAP DELIVERY!(i think its like 8$ for shipping) so if you live outside the usa or canada and cant find a store that shippes it(its imposible to fine one! lol) then send me a message and ill help :) sarai.
