收到數支 sample，用了它作眼精華近三個星期，配合用了近一年的 YSL forever 眼霜。 老實講，比起之前用的 Elizabeth Arden 的眼精華，這東西真的沒有什麽特別: 首先，它吸得太快，我來回按三趟已經吸收得乾亁凈淨， 莫講要完成整套來回八次的按摩動作! 其次，塗後感是又粗糙又「鞋」，跟其他牌子用後的 silky touch 係完全差天共地。 第三，用了三個星期連一些效果(如:淡紋、緊緻眼肌、收緊眼袋、或者淡化眼圈色素…等)一律欠奉。 包裝再精美，價格再高昂，所用的科研技術再高，用料再靚，沒有效果便是沒有效果。 最諷刺的是，我一位產後朋友對這產品相當 like。果真的連 skin care 都看緣份。

I got a pack of sample from LAB, Admiralty in the earlier time and I used that as part of my DIY home facial treatment during the Easter holiday. This is my first time to use sugar as polishing agent for face. I really enjoy the great frangrant smell from brow sugar and strawberries extracts. Since I previously use La Mer's exfoliator, I am afraid the particular of this Fresh sugar polish is a bit raw and big to me (while La Mer's exfliator has a nickname of "diamond polish" and is famous for its fine particulars) Although this is a fresh and funny experience on face polish, I don't think I will give up La Mer's finest exfoliator.

I visited LAB at Admiralty for Creme ancienne Infusion and the BA invited me to try this black tea mask on the hand. The instant result is brilliant - silky & smooth in texture,immediate whitening effect, and instant firming effect. Since it's out of original budget plan, I didn't buy one at that time. But the BA gave me a sample of it. Since I'm so tired these days (for quater end closing), I tried that sample during the Easter holiday as part of my DIY home facial treatment. I previously tried Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv firming mask which costs over HK$970 for a tube of 50mL. Although (1) this Fresh black tea mask is less expensive than Re-Nutriv's and (2) that Re-Nutriv mask offer quicker and better result than Fresh black tea, I would still suggest you all to try this Fresh black tea mask first and Re-Nutriv the next.

The first time I know this brand is spring 2007. As most female, I was attractived by its lovely design of container as well as the romatic baby pink color. When it arrived HK, I learned that Jill Stuart Beauty has close relationsihp with another Japanese brand KOSE. This eye makeup remover is the only Jill Stuart beauty product that has been repuchased for over 5 times. The only reason is that it quickly dessolved my eye makeupeven though MJ mascara. The other reason for repurchase is that it is valuable in terms of its performance, price, and packaging. Although Estee Lauder and Lancome have similar products, I think I will stay with Jill Stuart because of its beautiful bottle.

因為是混合敏感肌，加上偏好水質成稀 gel 狀護膚品，所以家中大大話話有成12 支不同功能的 toner。而晚上作 toner mask 更是我最享受的保養項目。稠身 gel toner (如嬌蘭蜂蜜和香奈兒水份系列)用來厚塗，水劑 toner 就當然用化妝綿先拍後敷(如Estee Lauder 那三支精華水，SK-II 的mask-in lotion 和神仙水，雪肌精 lotion …等)。 之前先施的 DHC 促銷，買了 3 支toner (分別是 mild II lotion, Q10 lotion, collagen lotion), 那個 BA 小妺妹見我與期花錢買 DHC's Q10 paper mask ($198 只得 5片)，便教我經濟 d 晚晥用「麗的化妝綿」沾 toner 來重點敷臉，。化妝綿一開四，倒 toner 到 5 片經剪細左的化妝綿，(濕的程度要近乎差唔多可以滴出來程度)，敷在左頰、右頰、額頭、鼻子、下巴，約 15 分鐘左右，有 d toner 快乾 d，有 d 襟濕 d。因鎮靜了肌膚，所以敷完毛孔細好多，白淨與否則視乎個人和哪 toner 而定囉! (菜瓜水通常都可以提供短暫白白肌膚!) 敷完之後，我會才上神仙水和少許乳液，個人覺得特別收，成晚都水嫩幼滑，感覺良好。 經濟補濕方式!

再補充: 這是另一支我用來作補濕 toner mask 的 DHC 產品。這是 DHC counter 的 BA 推介，配合五張「一開四面積」的 麗的化妝綿敷十五分鐘，整張臉便會水水潤潤，春夏天用它來敷有點不夠清爽，秋冬用它夠潤澤。 打折後 (40% off at the DHC counter in Sincere Sheung Wan store) 才港幣百多塊，若用麗的化妝綿敷，可以敷到近廿次，我自己覺得好過用那些 20 元以下一張的 paper mask。

After the HK$200 signature massage and facial treatment session, I purchased this foam cleanser (HK$390). Texture: very smooth and silky feel, looks like milky lotion, ease togeneraterich and smooth lather. Smell: light floral smell Skin texture after use: smooth and moist Have considered that the relatively high price (HK$390), I may not repurchase since there's lot of similar product at such price (such as Chanel and YSL beauty)

這支遮瑕液 (color # 01)已經買到第四支，質地易推，每天用它遮眼圈位，都可以用到成八個月。 價格合理，唯此遮瑕液只 last 到八個小時左右，下班前需要補補。 包裝簡約，支裝造型，方便攜帶一絕對會繼續買它。

這產品很厚重，質地很杰色，猶如「花士令」般。味道很好，可以用來當按摩霜，亦可以用來急救冬天亁燥肌。但這厚身質地好多人未必頂得順。

去年收到幾袋這 gel cream 的試用包，把它們統統擠到一個小器皿，足足有15mL那麼多。 這幾天春季潮濕，氣温不穩定，面部紅腫癢，表面很到扯住扯住，有撕裂的感覺。因為 Clarins 和 Re-Nutriv 今次都制止不了信皮膚敏感，正常買 La Mer 的 gel cream 之際，想到這幾包 sample。 我先猫敷 mask 般厚塗了一層，3 分鐘內已經被皮膚吸光，然而皮膚因為過吸那 gel cream 吸得太凶而呈現「猛猛緊」的偏硬狀態，於是我噴了些 vincy 噴霧替皮膚鬆番為柔軟質地。之後便塗一多層 gel cream 便算。當我發現皮膚因為過份吸收信 gel cream 而呈現那「猛猛緊」的偏硬狀態，我頗擔心會否出現越補濕越變乾的情況。幸好，當我噴 vincy spray 後皮膚便回復柔軟。 從它吸得咁快，我頗肯定此 gel cream 滲透力強，是粒子夠細? 但從它令我皮膚變硬，我認為它是補濕力尚未完全 ok。(即是鎖唔到水) 質地係 gel lotion 狀，有微微柑橘香味，相當討好。夏天可能夠用但秋冬就很勉強。仲有，如前評論員，每次要用很多份量(如 cherry size)才夠成塊面用。因不鎖水，要補塗。 頗多美中不足之處，故我應該不會購買。

自八十年代中發售到今天，它都係長賣長有的系列。我唸中學大學到初出來工作時，甚至去年(2012)我都因為它價錢相宜而買過來用，而我身邊總有至少一個人係使用緊它。 坦白講，無論 bloggers, press release, beauty magazine 推介，甚至白雪雪的許慧欣作代言，我都在不同階段用了四支這產品，四次都只給于我洗臉後抹面用的 wipe toner 的作用而已，它連 toner mask 的美白補濕功能都達不到。 結果，它只能當我其中一支可有可無的 wipe toner。 此外，它酒精強勁，用後皮膚偏亁，敏感肌切記慎用!

雖然我眼雪肌精無緣份,但我跟它系列的乳液卻成為深交 buddy。 它可是我枱頭十幾種(貨裝或試用裝)乳液唯一已 repurchase 的面部保濕產品。其優點:不致敏，快吸收，質地輕柔，塗後潤而不sticky，輕度的怡人香味,價錢合理。 雖然它對我沒有明顯的美白功效，但能擁有不令我致敏的保濕產品，夫復何求!?
