I bought this coat at Sporting Life just around xmas and it paid for itself the first time I wore it - really! It is so warm and light - it's a real joy to wear. Compared to cloth coats - it is so much warmer and weighs practically nothing. I have no fear of any weather now - I even like to go out in freezing temperatures because I know I'll be warm as toast. Invest in this amazingly warm and stylish garment and you will never be sorry for treating yourself as you deserve - winter can be fun in a Fire & Ice Anne style coat! This almost sounds like an advertisement but it is really true. -

I have dry, older skin (like Leeza) and I found this moisturizer, concealer, powder regimen more opaque than sheer and more drying than I had hoped. I still use the cleanser which I find refreshing but the moisturizer left my skin feeling dry and the concealer looked and felt cakey after just a few minutes. The powder went on way too thick and compared to a normal powder it felt quite heavy. It also had a shine which defeated the whole purpose of a powder which is to reduce shine. I did get some compliments when I wore it so maybe it looked better than it felt . . . but I am back to using my usual products and rarely touch Sheer Cover even though there is a lot of product left over. It would probably be a good regimen for someone with practically poreless and oily skin because everything is in the box for a complete routine.
The eye shadow/lip color palette isn't bad at all - I still use them even if it does have that 'old' smell as if it was in the box a long time. The mascara is nice too. There are brushes included as well and they are not bad.

Too bad I didn't find this website before I spent 15 minutes at Buff Nail Lounge on Front Street - don't even bother. They gave me an appointment over the phone and I live nearby so got there 2 minutes before my appointment. The receptionist did acknowledge my arrival and told me to go pick out a nail color. I was in my hot winter coat with heavy purse so I looked around for a bit and chose my color and then went to see if there was a place for my stuff. No. I noticed other peoples stuff hanging on 1 or 2 hooks around the place. This service woman sitting in a chair on her cell phone asked me what I wanted. I told her I wanted to put my coat away looking towards a hook already taken - she said no! - you can't put it there thats for the staff - I looked around and there was nowhere - right away I was ready to go but then that same service woman told me I could just lie it all down on the couch so I did that. No one paid any attention to me - not to ask if I wanted, to direct me to sit and wait, even that service woman went back to her call and completely ignored me as if I wasn't there!! I asked the receptionist if the appointment would be late as it was already after 5:00. She motioned to someone in the front working on someone and said she's almost finished. I took a minute to look around - I felt totally ignored and abused. I just stood in the middle of the place feeling complete disinterest from everyone.
One service woman was just finishing a guy's feet and she went into the back with the dirty tools (I followed her as I was getting a pedicure) no one was noticing me anyway - and she was just washing them in the sink back there. I knew then this wasn't a clean place, not for me. I started to gather my stuff to leave yet still giving anyone ample time to notice me getting dressed but no one - not even the receptionist looked (she was at a table and had started to work on a woman who came in after me!) so I got dressed and stood there looking around at a place with quite a few staff but not one gave a crap what this customer was doing. I thought of saying something like - bye bye - very bad service! or something for any attention but then I just decided it wasn't worth the embarassment so I left. I wouldn't give them 4 cents never mind 40$ they wanted for a pedicure. This is another sad example of a business with sub par employees, attitude and service. Pathetic really.
