I'm used to heavy eye creams, but this one is so light, and goes on very easily. I can put makeup right over without feeling like I need to let it sink in. I feel like it keeps my skin healthy and moisturized. It also lasts quite a long time. I can't even remember how many months it has been (applying twice daily) and I still have a lot left in the tube- you just need a very little to go around the whole eye. It has also never irritated my eyes, no matter how close I apply it. This isn't a superfancy or amazing cream; but it doesn't really claim to be anything more than a great moisturizer, so it gets a higher than average rating for not overselling itself.

I really like buying into brand images, and this is what gives me more positive view of this product than it probably should warrant. I loved the feel of this cream; I loved putting it on. It made my eyes feel refreshed (like I'm taking well care of myself) and it lasted quite a while. However, I didn't really notice any difference with dark circles, even though I applied twice daily. I think I might buy this again, (kinda spendy) just to use as an eye moisturizer, but not with the expectations of lightening my eye area.

I didn't really notice a difference with dark circles, which I was most interested in. As an eye cream though, it has a nice thick texture, and I liked how it felt on my eye area. It was good to keep my eyes moisturized, but if thats all it does, I might as well be using a less expensive cream.

I don't really get it. I got this in a box set, and always looking for fuller lashes tried it out with disappointing results. When I used mascara over this, it was clumpier than using it alone, and made the mascara harder to apply. It did add volume, and made lashes stand out more, but it's more important to me to have separation and definition than clumpy volume.

This was a total impulse buy, selected because the deep red color was beautiful in a satin finish. It was light enough that felt nice going on, slightly creamy. I guess thats the "sila-silk" that makes it feel somewhat moisturizing. I loved the look, but have to keep applying thoughout the day. The red fades quickly, leaving the edges darker than the middle, which ends up looking more like a stain. If you don't mind reapplication, this is a very nice feeling lipstick, with beautiful colors. It is a lipstick line I would choose to wear over many others; however it is not a top ranker for me. It does its job well, but not amazingly well.

I really didn't like this. It seemed like so much work (but I followed all the directions, left it in etc) and I was expecting so much more. My curls seemed limper and dull after using this product. I was hoping to condition them and make my hair seem healthier- but instead of helping the spirals, they seemed to sag. I guess it was softer? But not in the way I wanted. It took a couple weeks for my hair to get back to normal. It's also very pricey- and the amount said to use is a bit much, my hair felt supersaturated; so I backed off a bit. I don't know what would have happened to it if I had used the full recommended amount! I do have medium-curly hair. I get spirals naturally, but not super-tight ones. Perhaps this would help if you had super curly hair?

About 1/2 a pump for my medium length hair smoothed in while still wet helps define my curls and majorly reduced frizz in humid weather. I like that it doesn't get too crunchy- unless you really use tons of it.

I love shu eyeshadows! The pigments are fantastic; they go on so well, and even a light coat lasts. Because of the intense pigment, you can wet a liner brush and use them as eyeliner easily. They blend really well, and each color comes in 4 finishes, which I really like. This means I know I can always find the color I want in everything from matte to super-sparkly. One of my favorites for fall/winter is ME Brown 850. It is described as a 'Metallic gunmetal brown' which is a nice warmed-up version of gunmetal that goes with everything. Lastly, I always love Shu Uemura packaging. Clear plastic doesn't sound impressive, but it's nice and heavy when you hold it, with brilliant clean lines that showcase the product inside.

I love this for dry/normal skin! It goes in easily and not greasy at all. It is really moisturizing and lasts a long time, leaving my skin feeling smooth. Also, the SPF 15 doesn't make the lotion heavier at all. I think it's a good compromise between no SPF and a higher formula that gets too thick. I have combo skin, and usually use expensive facial products. However, I wanted to make those last longer by supplementing with a lower-priced product to use on my dry cheeks. I read the backs of a lot of labels at the drugstore, and finally chose this because it seemed to have less chemicals. I'm really impressed; this is just as nice as products that cost 4x more!

This was a nice lightweight supermoisturizing lotion, and I loved the light scent. However, it was too moisturizing for my combination skin. I ended up breaking out in oily areas. I ended up using this only on the dry areas of my face, and it was amazing as a moisturizer there. So if you have dry skin, it's a great product. Other skin types should be a little cautious. Also, for the steep price I felt really let down- I really wanted to like this, but just can't.
