Lipstick -Revlon - Super Lustrous
rated 2 of 5

I have been using this lipstick and loving it for years! But I bought a replacement yesterday for Softsilver Red and the formula is completely different from the last one I bought a few months ago. I'm not sure what happened but the label on it was even different. It's too bad , it was a great lipstick and color.

I have been using this everyday since purchasing it in November. It does give a "glow" to my skin and evens out my skin tone (many sun spots) I wear it under make-up. I apply and then apply a moisturizer and then foundation. Love it!

Foundations -Perfekt - Skin Perfection Gel
rated 1 of 5
ValrieM 4/6/2010 11:08:00 AM

Well, I purchased this based on the great reviews of ladies over 56. It seems they must have perfect skin. This is NOT a foundation, and it doesn't cover anything! I noticed that for a few of the reviewers it was their only review, so that makes me suspect something. I'm upset because now I have to send it back and pay for shipping. Do not buy.

I have just used this product for about 4 days and had to stop because it burned the skin all around my eyes. My eyelids and under my eyes look all cracked. yeow! I do love that MUA has divided the reviews by age!

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Perfectionist CP+ Wrinkle Lifting Serum
rated 3 of 5

I have been using this product for about a week and a half. While I love how it feels on my face, I still see my wrinkles exactly the same , altho it says you should see some improvement after the first week. I'm disappointed.

I love this foundation! But I agree I hate the frosted glass container. Love the pump! I wear 5.5 and it's perfect for me.

Bronzers -MAC - Sundressing [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5

I don't consider this a self-tanner, it's more of body mousse makeup. It doesn't actually give you a tan like self-tanners do, it just evens out your skin tone and gives you a tan look. It does transfer onto clothing so I have to be careful where I put it. But I do love it!

Crème -Giorgio Armani - SPF20 Shaping Designer Foundation
rated 5 of 5
ValrieM 12/2/2006 11:04:00 AM

I love this foundation. Expensive but worth it. I like the LSF, too, in fact it's a little better at not showing pores and wrinkles. I wear a 5.5 in the LSF but because of one reviewer saying she got the 6.5 I got that and it's perfect for me!

Scrubs -Dr. Brandt - Microdermabrasion in a Jar
rated 3 of 5
ValrieM 11/8/2006 8:34:00 AM

I bought this pricey exfoliator because of the rave reviews. When does it start to work? I've used it twice and see no results. Of course I'm 57! That could be one reason. It feels good but I doubt I buy again.

Loose Powders -Cle de Peau - Loose Powder
rated 5 of 5
ValrieM 11/5/2006 3:48:00 PM

I ordered and just received this powder because of the rave reviews. I like it but in a picture of me I looked too pink! I have lessened the amount I use. Did anyone else have trouble with the packaging? The little net that goes over the powder on mine didn't fit and now the powder is everywhere in the box!

I just received this and am so disappointed. It immediately began to burn under my eyes and cause puffiness.

Styling Products -Nick Chavez - Perfect PlusVolumizing Flocker
rated 1 of 5
ValrieM 9/18/2005 4:00:00 PM

This is one of the the worst products I've ever used. It's messy, smells bad, and weighs my hair down and is sticky. It sometimes makes me feel nauseous after using it. Don't know why. I feel the same as the one reviewer who said she must have "Loser" on her forehead, but I feel more like "Sucker" is on mine.

Treatments -Beauticontrol - BeautiControl Microderm Abrasion Skin Buffering System
rated 3 of 5
ValrieM 5/18/2005 3:10:00 PM

I bought this because of the rave reviews. I have used it twice and I don't see any difference. Plus, it's inconvenient to me to have to apply it at night.
