Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Mattifying Concentrate Serum with Retinol

Ordinary packaging, extrordinary product!

Compared to the wild claims, flashy labels, and fancy packaging at department store beauty counters, this product appears to be quite boring and blah. Looks can be SO deceiving! It's actually a little miracle in a tube! The ingredient list is amazing, and it lives up to every single one of its claims. My crows feet are gradually fading, and my skin has never looked this good! Stop wasting your money on department store serums, all you really pay for is the packaging!

Dior Diorshow Mascara

If I could only buy one makeup product for the rest of my life

THIS WOULD BE IT. I have short lashes, and this mascara gives me the illusion of long natural lashes. Women are constantly complementing me, and asking me what kind of mascara I am wearing. Last Christmas, I gave each of my female relatives a tube, as a stocking stuffer. they all RAVED about it, and are now hardcore fans. It is very easy to apply, never flakes or smudges, and does NOT look unnatural unless you deliberately apply it to do so.

Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask

Department Store Quality / Drugstore Price / Multiple uses!

This is hands down the BEST moisturizing mask i have tried. It does exactly what it claims to do, and its a great Multi-Tasking product: It can be used as a daily moisturizer for very dry skin - It makes a great hand cream - And, (My Favorite use) The formula does AMAZING things for the eye area, I have tried so many expensive eye creams, and this beats every single one! (I am 30, with advanced wrinkles from sun damage) I use this daily, morning and night, and have noticed a dramatic change in the brightness and firmness around my eye area! This is the only eye cream I will ever use (It will last you forever!) I would gladly pay triple the price.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Not a miracle, but better than most

I read so many great reviews before buying this primer, and I couldn't wait to try it. I was disappointed. My eyeshadow stayed put, and looked great for about 3 hours before starting to crease and slide. Hardly what I would consider "Long Lasting" or "Budge Proof." The second time I tried it, i blotted my eye lids with rice paper first, (To absorb any oil & allow the primer to "Stick" better). This only extended the wear by about an hour. If you have very dry skin, this may work for you, but if your skin is oil prone in the least, skip it. You can get better results by dusting your eyelids with powder before you apply your eyeshadow.
