I received this product as par of ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I was very excited to try it out, I am 29 and finding that I need to start to deal with my skin not being the same as when I was 20. In the pas two weeks I have used this twice a day and notice it was amazing for moisture. I am not quite sure yet if it is helping with the fine lines that are beginning, I think I will need more time to find out about that. As for the claim it helps with under eye circles, I have extremely dark under eye circles,, and this product did not help, no product has helped though.
For the most part I liked this cream a lot but do not think it does anything for circles and I think it has potential for early stage wrinkle prevention but it is great for moisturizing the eyes.

One of the best primers ever! Smoothes everything out on your face and makes your makeup look better and last longer.
My only beef is...the container. It is so hard to get the last bits out of it. But now you can get it in a new bottle that leaves you with less waist (if you can find the new bottle, it is always sold out in stores).
There are cheaper primers out there, but they often feel greaser and are less effective.
I think everyone should use a primer, every day!

I was excited to find a less expensive alternative to smashbox's version of this gloss. Unfortunatly for me, it did nothing for my lips. It bairly tints them at all on me.
But on the bright side, I got to try the smashbox version and learned it did nothing on me ether! So I saved $20 and because it was from Mark/Avon, I got to exchange it for something that worked great on me.
My friends have tried this gloss and found that it did change more on them, I guess it is just my chemistry! It is a great lip gloss though!
Avon and mark have 100% money back garentees, so try it out with your chemistry and see if it goes bold on you or mellow like on me, you have nothing to loose.

As a self confessed makeup junkie, I must say that Mac's eye shadows are one of the best on the market. The pro quality and smoothness of the product make it far superior to anything you can get in a drug store.
Many people say the price is a big issue with the product, but I find that it is worth every extra penny you pay for it. It last all day, comes in just about every colour and finish you could want. I personally by the pans for the pallets and keep a few large pallets and a few small palette (that hold 4 shadows). That way I can keep all my shadows together and not have to sort trough a bunch of little pots, and when I go out I can just put the colours I want in the small palette an take it with me. As well there is a nice price break when you buy the refill pans (and they still qualify for back to Mac when they are empty).

I have had one too many bad experiences at this chain to ever go back. Once I had mussels and after carefully removing all the shells i still bit into a shard and cut my mouth. The waiter ignored me and after finally talking to the manager I was told 'mussles have shells'. There was no sorry, not taken off my bill, nothing. I was treated like I made it. And the worst thing is, it wasn't the first time bad things happened to me there. From waiters who stand next to you while you are eating and stare at you to broken glasses and dirty plates and cold food, this place is not worth your time or money. -
Hollywood Gelato
Fantastic! Great people and wonderful products. Most likely the only place left in Toronto that still has a coffee/tea card. The gelato is so yummy and taste like it should (how do they get the pumpkin gelato to taste so good is beyond me).

MAC Cosmetics Fluidline
I always will love fluidliner. The gel is better than any cream based liners. it lasts and stays put. Just don't leave the lid off

AVON Bubble Bath
When you can get it on sale for 5.99 it is the greatest deal. 700ml of bubbly smelly baths. A little goes a long way and so far i love most of the ones i have tried. the pepper mint is my current favorite, but the mellon is wonderful too.
