Review: Elizabeth Arden's Prevage Anti-Aging Eye Serum

Greetings my friends! Bottom Line  - I've used this on and off for years and it always works at brighten my eyes. I happily repurchase this eye cream time and time again. Elizabeth Arden:  “To achieve beauty, a woman must first achieve health.” Elizabeth Arden opened her first spa on Fifth Avenue in New York in 1910 – the iconic Red Door Spa to be specific. She introduced (through her company) daily make-up for women. Until this point, wearing make-up everyday was not acceptable as it was predominately worn by entertainers…or whores. She was also the first person to introduce the concept of the “makeover” at her salons. Elizabeth Arden's Prevage Anti-Aging Eye Serum:  I love this eye cream! I noticed an immediate improvement to my eye area when I started using this and it’s all thanks to the active ingredient - idebedone. What I love about this is how quickly it works - within a few days, I noticed my dark circles under my ey...

Review: Dermalogica's Sebum Clearing Masque

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - I would repurchase this again and have several times. Dermalogica :  Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque: This is a cool clay mask that treats acne and helps prevent outbreaks. The clay helps absorb extra sebum while the salicylic acid clears pore congestion...

Review: Clinique's Take Off The Day Make-Up Remover For Lids, Lashes, and Lips

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - while not my favorite eye make-up remover I have repurchased this for about 11 years and will probably continue to repurchase it when my favorite eye make-up remover is out of stock. Clinique:  Clinique is a well-known American skincare, fragrance, and cosmetic company which began in 1968 and is headquartered in New York. Clinique is a subsidiary of  Estée  Lauder, and has a cult following for it's skincare line. Clinique's Take The Day Off Make-up Remover For Lids, Lashes, and Lips:  Like I said, I've been using this product for about 11 years and it's a very good eye make-up remover. It's non-irritating, not oily, but it's not as strong or as gentle as Lancome's Bi-Facil Eye Make-Up Remover. I also find that I have to use more of the product than the Lancome version as well.  Having said that, I still love this product and when I can't get my hands on the Lancome product, I happily repurchase this.
