If you have undereye circles, though, I've never noticed.

And since that's an impossibility (not even Dermablend works...and it covers TATTOOS, for Pete's sake), a lovely banded jar of anything is a no-go for me. But like I told you earlier, Perlier's bath products are very nice. And great job on all your research. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-57509421001249941762014-05-25T15:58:00.478-07:002014-05-25T15:58:00.478-07:00Really interesting, and props to you for doing you...Really interesting, and props to you for doing your research!!

But somehow my skin closed-up with my age - having reached the very end of my forties, my skin became a lot drier. Mind you, I haven't bought in the whole set, just the cream and the tonic and the two of them so far did an awesome job to save me from mumie looks. Still, I am not sure, I will replace the jar once empty but venture on to different brands, I am sure, there must be a cheaper version. The steadily growing number of friends who suffer from post anti-age-surgery though terrifies me - it ranges from scars to skin color change to allergic reaction to injections (which is irreversible b.t.w. and left one friend with an irregular lip). Considering all this, I still prefer to toss my hard earned bucks into the pot of a cream ;-P Polished Marvelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506219570395532115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-91670926262129446542014-05-25T11:20:39.351-07:002014-05-25T11:20:39.351-07:00It is great packaging-- I love the banded seal thi...It is great packaging-- I love the banded seal thing :) TOTALLY agree on the price, and your stance on skincare in general. My $8 Night of Olay cream is the most I'm willing to spend these days and my skin looks just fine, lol.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-82165672412844341262014-05-25T10:57:59.066-07:002014-05-25T10:57:59.066-07:00I used to use luxury products and match the whole ...I used to use luxury products and match the whole set, cleanser, toner, day and night moisturizer, and I didn't think there was any other way. I totally bought into the hype of "everything working together" but slowly backed away from that mindset. I went from Shiseido to Mary Kay to Ivory soap, Cerave, and Night of Olay moisturizer, with the occasional St. Ives apricot scrub. And now that I'm in my mid-thirties, maybe I ought to be thinking about a more cohesive regimen but in the meantime, my prescription Retin-A, sunscreen, and (fairly, haha) healthy diet keep everything looking good enough for me, lol. I've become a proponent of less is more and certain things are superfluous (this aforementioned serum being one of them). Also, roll away :) (Wait, that didn't sound right) And a lovely weekend to you, as well!Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-76390650729121306072014-05-25T10:32:53.840-07:002014-05-25T10:32:53.840-07:00Thanks, doll :) I guess hsn.com has huge markdown ...Thanks, doll :) I guess hsn.com has huge markdown sales once in a while.

And oddly the African Continent seems to be a preferred source of beauty companies. I currently use a skincare package that is based on a certain kind of saffron, also solely found on the beforementioned continent! Considering your observations I honestly don't think this product is worth the price and I am so with you - a clingy film at work is not pretty. I am not using any Rosewater products as I am not too keen on the smell. As for my skincare: the price I paid nearly left me broke but it clearly improved the look and feel of my skin and still comes cheaper than the methods used by my friends. As a matter of fact I am quite shocked at the amount of torture they imply to their skin with only temporary success :-o!!! Have a lovely weekend and sorry for the lenghty comment but I clearly got on a roll here ;-) <3Polished Marvelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506219570395532115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-52912149213231113292014-05-24T14:25:45.850-07:002014-05-24T14:25:45.850-07:00Great review on this face serum.
