this product is great. a little jar can last u forever. each time tiny amount can smooth onto under areas. it can moisturizes and protects ur eye area very well. my dry lines are relieved. in windy winter, it really can protect my eye areas from drying out. a very nice product. i will put the residue amount of this product after applying on my eyes onto both tips of my lips too***

Moisturizers -Dr. Hauschka - Normalizing Day Oil
rated 4 of 5
caoimhin 4/19/2006 10:25:00 AM

this product really works. I have used the hauschka regime for a period of time and this oil really works. I combined this oil with the clarifying toner and applied the oil when the face is still abit wet after toning. What my face looks before i leave home is probably the same when i back home. My skin is very sensitive (due to over exfoliation and medication before) and oily/acne prone. this product really fxxking works. Unfortuntately, after i apply this product, i cannot a sunscreen on top easily because it forms a very thin film on the skin. This happens to rose day cream too. they really work. Just I still ahev to put sunscreen to protct my skin from the sunrays...

one of the worst eye product. i dont like the tinted. too thick and uneasy to blend. i have only a few wrinkles but after i use that, all dry lines come out. have to stay away fromthis. it is NEITHER an eye care product NOR eye concealer. Dont know what its for.

i have been using this for a week, so far , it doesnt moisturize quite well. the cream is quick thick BUT in sinks so fast, i prefer sth to leave on my dry skin, e.g. an invisible mosturizing film, ,like what Matis eye contour balm does

This product works slowly i guess. i have sensitive with acneprone skin. I got borken capillaries on my cheeks and so far (my 23rd day of my 25 days treatment), it can relieve a bit, adn no longer feeling dry on my cheeks , althought i am in ASian country with sixt or sth humidity in autumn. it smells nice. will repurchase for another treatment next yr (i still got another 25 for three months later)

Masks -Dr. Hauschka - Cleansing Clay Mask
rated 4 of 5
caoimhin 10/10/2005 10:17:00 AM

this mask works well with the Hauschka regime. i mix this clay powder with Hauschka facial toner and i prefer thicker consistency. i apply it and let it dry. it can keep my skin clear. I only apply this on forehead and nose. not bad. And this smells very herbal just ask other Hauschka products does

not so sure about what this product is doing. cannot see significant results. however, am in Hauschka's regime now and i hope this can boost teh total effectiveness. it smells very herbal, as found in other hauschka's products. it doesnt break me out nor irritate any. will update.

Loose Powders -Jurlique - Silk Dust
rated 4 of 5
caoimhin 9/25/2005 5:38:00 AM

this is a good product. 1. talc-free. this is my first concern. (other good loose powders which are talc-free and i like are BE's mineral veil and chantecaille's [very expesnive]. 2. it does some antiseptic job on zits. 3. dont use too much, coz the particles are not very fine, will leave you a WHITE POWDERY MASK, so my trick is, only on zits, and some oily areas.

Tinted Moisturizer -Caudalie - Fresh Complexion Tinted Moisturizer
rated 4 of 5
caoimhin 9/25/2005 5:29:00 AM

this is a good tinted moisturizer. first, for the tint, it is quite brown, that means not in the yellowishness of Bobbi Brown's nor dullness as Laura Mercier's. I havent tried Aveda's and shiseido's, so i cannot compare. there are onkly 2 shaded, one fair/medium; and another medium/dark. i have bought two as i think i gonna mix them to create a more personalized shade. HOWEVER, the lighter one already suits my tanned skin (am an Asian and a regular beach goer in summer). SO only the ligher can do the job, honestly. FOr the tecture, its not bad, sinks and absorbs well. foolproof too. BUT in humid sumemr times, MAYBE a little bit of sticky after application. ( am oily/sensitive skin). oh yea, btw, it is TOTALLY water soluable. its a nice product, a little tube can last long

Cleansers -Fresh - Rice Face Wash
rated 2 of 5
caoimhin 9/18/2005 7:36:00 AM

a cleanser doesnt foam at all (maybe i am not an expert of any kind of powdery cleanser, esp those Japanese brands), when i pour down a bit, it doesnt foam and feel like rubbing water onto my face; even when i repour and repour and mix with water, i cant make paste to do cleansing, i dont know which part of my face is cleansed which part isnt, really stuck up, dont know what to do with the remaining powder

GREAT product. talcfree and nondrying, versatile on my summer tanned skin AND fair winter skin, dont know how to explain. wont give you matt powdery mask after application. its my cheaper alternative to Chantecaille's.

Skincare - Face -Jurlique - tea tree acti moist
rated 4 of 5
caoimhin 9/18/2005 7:31:00 AM

a good product for my sensitive acneprone skin. this one really calm the skin and socalled DE-bacterialize the surface skin (good for suppression of acne bacteria), however, the texture isnt really nice, the cream isnt easy to blend , so i give it 4 instead of 5
