sadly i bought this product because i heard jennifer lopez uses it, i have no idea if that is the truth but i wanted it anyway. i live in the uk, so the delivery took about three weeks, that said , the wait was worth it. i am twenty five with bad crows feet, due to late nights and alcohol a plenty, so i really did need something to help me out. after a few days of applying day and night i could tell that the lines had softened, enough to make me feel good.the dark circles under my eyes are looking lighter as well so that’s a bonus. i dont think this is going to make my lines dissapear but they are hardly noticeable anymore. the cost of the product doesn’y seem that steep as the cream will last for ages, i only use a tiny drop and it’s twice the size of normal eye cream’s you can buy. overall i am more than pleased with the result’s and i will definately be purchasing more, when the time comes.

It does not work for lines, May 29, 2007

I started to have lines under my eyes two years ago when I turned 26. It was about 0.5 inch long under each eye. I was totally freaked out and wanted to do something about it. I started to fight these lines two years ago with Clinique’s Advanced Stop Sign. After 2 jars and no result, I had to call it a quit.

Since then, I’ve tried StriVectin-SD Eye Cream, Kinerase, and Creme de La Mer, which also didn’t work for lines. I have to say StriVectin-SD is the worst from the bunch. It is greasy and doesn’t make my skin any firmer. On a bad day, I would break out. Kinerase is a little better in that it’s not greasy. La Mer was really good for firming and making my skin look dewy and soft, though it may not improve lines.

I have tried using Estee Lauder Perfectionist and Advanced night repair and they both seem to improve the lines pretty well. I think I’m gonna continue to use Estee’s products until I find anything better.

Overall good experience, July 24, 2007

By

I waited 3 weeks before I wrote this to give the product a fair chance. I didn’t notice anything at first, but after about 2 weeks of twice a day use, I could tell my wrinkles were not as deep/less defined. I didn’t have any of the burning/rash that others had. However, on the very inner areas of my under-eye skin I did have a few more milia (tiny white pimple bumps) than normal. I wouldn’t consider it a break-out at all, just a few more bumps than usual. I only got these on the inner soft area though, not everywhere I applied it. This cream did not help my dark circles as it claimed, but since it helped my wrinkles and helped the puffiness I give it 4 stars. I still use it. I am now using this for the outer under area and corners of my eyes, and another cream (clinique all about eyes – great product) in my inner under eye area. It is hard to find a cream you like – so good luck to all of you looking. You might need to use two products like I do, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I think this product is helpful for light wrinkles and overall a decent purchase.

Worked almost overnight, May 26, 2008

By 

Melissa Rivers (Pacific Northwest) – See all my reviews

  

It’s a bit expensive, but worth the extra cost. I used it on a ferrel kitten with weepy eyes. I’d tried saline washes, and eye washes from PetSmart, but her little eyes were still full of “boogers”. Just 2 applications of this ointment really did the trick, and she’s not rubbing her little eyes anymore.

A must have for the pet medicine chest.

Product was effective in curing eye infection in kittens. I would recommend it for anyone with an animal with an eye infection.

Odd, but intensely compelling film, March 3, 2003

By 

Deborah MacGillivray “Author,” (US & UK) – See all my reviews

  

  

  

I am surprised this movie is not out on DVD or video because it’s one of the few films of the beautiful Sharon Tate, the actress killed by the Mason Cult. Supposedly her “introduction” film along with fellow actor David Hemmings, MGM made a big todo of showcasing them before the films release.

The film was also called 13 in some releases, and the supposedly unlucky number seems apropos for the film with Tate later being murdered, and the trouble over initial casting. The simply gorgeous Kim Novak was set to play the lead, they had actually begun filming when she was thrown from a horse. A broken bone resulted in her being replaced by the powerhouse Deborah Kerr, who seems, truthfully, better suited to be playing David Niven’s wife.

This is like no other Niven film, an high popular, but I believe, underrated actor. He made it seems so easy. But you watch him with Gregory Peck in GUNS OF NAVARONE and you will see he was a marvellous talent.

It’s a low-key thriller, in the WICKERMAN vein. Kerr, Niven and family have been living a good life in Paris, but the arrival of mysterious priest from Niven’s home, starts them spiralling into a nightmare of unbelievable proportions. Niven, says the countryside of his province requires the return of the Marquis de Bellac, there is a prolong draught of years, and he must go back, though he won’t say what he can do to stop a draught. He insists Kerr and the children stay behind.

In typical headstrong fashion, Kerr is not content to remain behind being the ‘little woman’, so she and the children travel to the medieval honour of Bellac. Stuck in a time warp of the Middle Ages, Bellac is a total feudal estate. Niven in NOT happy to see she has come. She soon runs afoul of two strange young people (Hemmings, an archer, and the beautiful Tate, who shows disdain for all the males around her). Though they are not really a part of the estate, they seems to come and go as they please and laugh at Kerr’s affront.

The strange priest, played by Donald Pleasence, continues to exert a strong hold over Niven, almost as if he is compelling and preparing Niven for ‘what will come’. It is clear things are very wrong at Bellac. After a ride in the wood, she discovers that nearly every Bellac Marquis has died a mysterious death at an young age, and is harassed by hooded monk-like figures after finding the tomb of the last Marquis in the wood. There are strange comings and goings at all hours. Niven;s aunt tucks her head and ignores it all, but seems ready to burst into tears. A strange man is hiding in the attic and he warns her to leave before it’s too late. Oddly, she discovered though the whole area is very religious, the religion has a taint of heresy about it.

One day, she catches Tate teaching the children to play on the edge of the crenellations of the roof. When she rushes up to stop it, she soon finds herself at peril, as Tate hypnotises her in to nearly stepping off the roof.

Worse, is the distance between her and her husband, and his insistence he has accepted his fate.

Very understated, mesmerising dancing in the ring of 13….with a knockout of an ending.

Ted Turner occasionally shows this – beware he cuts it bloody pieces!

POWERFUL!

Highly recommended to those who appreciate The WICKERMAN.

Weird seeing Sharon in a black and white film, May 2, 2005

By 

Donna Di Giacomo (Philadelphia, PA) – See all my reviews

  

  

but it adds a surreal touch to her beauty and to her character, Odile.

This is one of those movies that can keep up the suspense no matter how many times you’ve watched it. It gets more haunting each time.

David Niven and Deborah Kerr were world-class actors but I agree with the reviewer from Norway in that they were too old-looking to be playing parents to such young children. (If the kids were a little older, it would be a different story.) Other than that, I felt sorry for Philippe de Montfaucon (Niven) at the end of the film when he met his end (as cold, unfeeling, and willing to accept his fate as he was, his family be damned). Catherine de Montfaucon (Kerr) indeed was not going to sit back and accept her husband’s fate. She fought hard but her efforts were in vain.

In Sharon’s first film role, she played the part of wicked Odile convincingly. She has a blank stare on her face throughout the film but whenever that beautiful face pops up on the screen, you can’t help but be mesmerized and wonder what evil deed she will perform next.

And I lost my heart when I saw David Hemmings. Even with a blank expression on his face, he’s still good looking. He and Sharon were a great combination of the evil siblings.

All in all, a classic black and white film full of suspense and definitely worth the time to view, especially to see the very talented Sharon Tate.

It is also a faithful adaptation of Philip Loraine’s book, “Day of the Arrow.”

Weird film made very memorable by Sharon Tate…, October 2, 2002

I remember seeing this on late nite television when I was very young. It is funny how certain images stay with us. I remember being at once attracted to Sharon Tate (a true beauty) and yet kinda scared because she was a wicked girl in this movie and it made me very uneasy. But I was able to see this film, of all places at a midnight show in London (in August 1999) , and it has real atmoshpere and chills. And to be sure, Sharon Tate may finally be remembered for something else than the way she died. Her beauty is almost intoxicating and I don’t mean that in a lesbionic way, she just was. Also note the location, so weird.
