yep. that's how I felt about it too. I thought it was a bit syrupy actually.

and believe everything you hear about hope in a jar. it is unreal how good it is. it does go kinda fast though. I went through a small, trial-size jar in about a week.

I have wondered about the Hope In A Jar, do they offer more hope in a bucket? I want a lot of Hope! LOL.
Seriously, I would like to try, where can you buy, besides online, Macys, or ??

yeah, tell me about it. you can buy at Sephora or sephora.com, through their website philosophy.com, qvc.com or on ebay.com

the only reason I don't use it as my daytime moisturizer is because it doesn't have an spf and I like all-in-one products so I use their when hope is not enough, which is supposed to be like hope in a jar, but with spf. and it's great. a little bit heavier than I like, but still keeps my face really moisturized and protected. I also love Pure Simplicity's Milk Thistle moisturizer with spf from Bath and Body Works.

Well, you know YOU look so awesome and your skin is fabulous, so I will listen to your Beauty tips ANYTIME!
I need to get some of these. I am using Victoria Principle Principle's Secret, and it is really good, but I love trying new goodies!
More excuse to spend money on things I don't "need" is always good,....LOL.

awww. thanks. it makes me happy when people say that. money well spent is what I say.

and btw, my mother swears by Principle Secret. has used it since I can remember. she's 46 and her skin looks just as good as it ever did. and she was a sun worshiper while I was growing up. now, she's like me and avoids to sun.

I just bought Hope in a tube and I really like it. I had a sample of Murad intensive wrinkle reducer and I absolutely LOVED it. It was light, not too heavy and made my skin feel great. However, the regular size is 1 oz. for $150.00. I figured I would try a few things before I bought it. I'm thinking about trying La Mer. Do they give samples to see if you like before you buy?

Jaz, what La Mer products do you recommend for starting out with their line?

they do have samples, but I think they only give samples of other products at your purchase of some La Mer product. does that make sense? like, you have to be buying something to get a sample of some other product in their line. at least, that's been my experience. your retailer may just give you samples. if you're just trying it out I'd suggest you start with the Creme De La Mer. that's the staple. if you don't like it, you probably won't like the line. people either love it or hate it and think it's a waste of money. eBay may be your best bet to get a small "try me" size if your retailer doesn't give out samples.

there's also a "makeup routine" thread that's full of info if anyone cares, but it would probably be best to keep it all in one thread.

I've heard the Issima line by Guerlain Paris is pretty good. Has anyone tried it?

I had some samples of Hope in a Jar, and it gave me really bad headaches when I used it. I liked the cleanser, but not the moisturizer. It had a funky smell, too! I'm glad I didn't buy it first!

I'd like to try La Mer, but I have reservations. My skin is so oily that almost any type of cream or moisturizer makes me look greasy. Sigh.

yeah. I have read more than once that La Mer is best for people with normal to dry skin and not necessarily oily skin.

I don't think it's SkinCeuticals though, some other brand.

how're these products working for you Livia?

I'm really disappointed with every eye cream I have...even La Mer isn't really doing anything. I'm not seeing any difference. I'm just overwhelmed with reviews and recommendations. I just need a good eye cream, why does that have to be so difficult? lol.

btw, skinstore.com is awesome.

Have you tried the Kiehl's Cryste Marine eye cream? I love it. I alternate between that and the Kiehl's Avacado Eye Treatment. Both are really fabulous nightime eye creams. I swear by them. For a daytime eye cream, I use their new Eye Alert eye treatment. It's perfect for daytime and it truly combats any puffiness I might have from partying the night before.

no, I haven't, but they just opened a Kiehl's in the mall so I may need to stop by. I don't normally have to swat away puffiness, it's the laugh lines I want to work on. do you find that Kiehl's works on fine lines?

here's something I've wondered for a while. for the past 1.5 yr I've been wearing my glasses to work every day since I have to stare at the computer all day long and contacts just don't cut it for that. do glasses increase/enhance dark circles and/or fine lines around the eye area? it sure seems like my eyes have gone to **** in the past year and I was just wondering...
