This worked way better for me than the same line`s face serum. Not having the habit of wearing sun glasses I have crow`s feet around my eyes and having big eyes I have a lot of skin to care :) I used this eye cream the same amount of time I used the face serum. I felt as if the lines were smoother and not as recognizable. Can not say it was miraculous and since its big bottled sister failed to succeed on my skin I think I will give another a chance. But overall, not a bad product. -

I choose `not worth it` cause I believe it is not worth it if you have a skin like mine. Although I do not have an oily complexion my skin is prone to acne/breakouts. Just because I kept hearing a lot of good things about this series from the people around me, I went and bought a second one. I used it frequently, followed the book, but nope this simply doesn`t work for me. Every other two days, I end up with painful, big red spots all over my face and my neck. Before this product I NEVER had acne on my neck. Trust me I really believed in this product and used it every single day for over 4, 5 months until a couple of weeks ago. I wish it worked, including the eye cream, I spent close to 200$, oops.... -

I wanted to give this product some time before writing a review about it. Now it has been a little over a month and so far I applied this mask for about 5 times. I think it works really good, especially when I feel a new spot working its painful way through my skin. After I take a shower (with the help of the steam the pores are open and I know my face is thoroughly cleaned) I put this on and wait a little longer than 10 minutes. I wash it off with warm water and put a nice moisturizer on. My skin feels so smooth and the pain around the possible acne area disappears after the application. There is still plenty of product left in the tube too which means I`ll be able to use it at least for another month, yaaay :) -

This is so far the best mascara I`ve owned. Since I don`t like using waterproof mascara, I buy the regular one. But because of its price I do not go and buy it once I finish mine, it is more like a treat :) In the past 6 years I bought it only two times and both of those times were on special days :) So whenever I need a mascara, if the time is right I go buy a Dior Show and do not feel bad about its price, great mascara! -

I dedicated tonight to small kitchen appliances. Before buying our stuff, I really had hard time deciding what to go for and therefor I wanna share it with CA readers to be able to give a little idea.
Moving in a new home and having to buy a lot of things can be stressful at times. Cause you do not feel like putting your money into bad quality stuff which will fall apart in the near future but you know you cannot spend a lot either. So that`s why you do your homework, if you have time go shop yard sales and consignment stores or wait for sales. But in my case, I had to go do it all with a little time in my hands and not a lot of free weekends. Being two coffee lovers, we wanted buy something nice. We grind our coffee so a grinder was in the list too. A grinder that does a good job is not less then 30$ (where we are at) and a coffee machine that does not feel like it is made out of recycled bottles comes with a price tag of at least 60, 70$. On top of that, I had to consider space issues in the kitchen as well. Then I saw this Cuisinart Grind Brew Center machine, read a reviews, found it for less than 80$ and bought it. Does that make good coffee, yes. Is it user friendly, a big NO. First, having that grinder on top, you have the pull the machine every time you need to fill it. The machine itself is tall, so we cannot use it under the cabinets without having to move it. Insider the grinder gets wet somehow and you have to clean it after every use.

I spent almost 5 weeks before buying small appliances for our new home. My priority, as usual, was functionality. Then came quality and since we had to buy pretty much everything from scratch for our house, came the price tag. Don`t get me wrong, there were moments I got carried away at stores with all those smart phrases ad people put on products such as `all electronic` or `perfect temperature`, `have the best tea` blah blah blah. Well, of course that came with more green out of your wallet. Finally, I got my focus back and thanks to all those blogs/reviews I read I decided to go with this brand. It matches our stuff in the kitchen, boils the water pretty quick and shuts off after boiling. Does all these perfectly so why expect more from a kettle :) So before going buying a kettle, ask yourself `do I really need all those electronic controls with a darn kettle` Well my answer saved me a lot of money. -

I love this little big thing :) If you don`t have a bbq, don`t even bother buying one, this will grill your steaks, your chicken, your seafood and veggies to perfection! It is really compact and enough for preparing meals for up to four people. Has its drip tray hidden under, so unlike some other panini presses and/or grills, you do not have to sacrifice from space either. I bought this for less then 90$ because I had a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond. I am a happy cook and a happy consumer :) -

I had to buy a new hand blender cause my awesome braun multiquick hand blender was no good here with 110v. I did my homework, surfed the net, read the reviews and decided on a KitchenAid 5 Speed Hand Blender with couple attachments.
I cannot say it is all bad but it is really weak. Two simple things I tried `blending` with this. Tomato soup and a fresh basil sauce. We are talking about diced tomatoes and basil here, right? Although I work it at the 5th speed, this thing cannot make a perfectly smooth sauce. My Braun took me literally 30 secs to prepare the perfect basil sauce or blend the diced tomatoes in the broth of the soup.
KitchenAid Hand Blender comes with a whisker, a little chopper and 2 other attachments that I couldn`t completely understand cause they all do the same thing with the main blender attachment. The good thing about this appliance is its whisker. It is really handy to prepare chocolate milk or yogurt drink oh and pan cake batter. Braun`s whisker was really poorly designed, whatever I was trying to whisk did end up on the walls, no matter how deep the bowl was, lol I think it was fun though :) Anyways, if you are planning to buy something like this, give it a second thought. Go buy a reliable hand blender (you do not need all those things in this box cause they are not functional) and then get yourself a nice food processor. I bet both can cost you less then 100$ which is what I paid for this...

I really do not enjoy armpits of my shirts feeling wet :( I mean come on, you named your product DRY Idea right? Oh, now I get it , it is probably just an `Idea` not how it works!

What a great place to shop from! Everyone that works in this store is very friendly, helpful and the best thing is they are knowledgeable. Didn`t I have bad experiences, I had but it was about some of the produce I bought from there and the way they approached me and how they solved the problem was very nice and professional. I can find almost everything I need here. They have great poultry, organic farm produce and all sorts of herbal/natural cosmetics. Favorite! -
