OOOOO I LOVE Givenchy Eye Fly!!! Mine's almost out; need to buy another...I got it at the advice of a Sephora MA..she suggested either the Eye Fly OR the Shu Uemura fiber optic...I got the former...I was thinking of trying the Shu, but I love the Givenchy so much I don't know if I even want to try something else (I suppose I could buy both and return the Shu if I don't like it)..Both are pricey for mascara ($22 and $23 respectively), so it's not like that will be the deciding factor. Have you tried the Shu?? Did you try the Givenchy yet (for comparison)? I'm babbling now. I'll stop. Thanks!

Yes, starting in March. It's a brightening add-on to The Skincare from Shiseido. It'll have a cleanser, balancing softener, concentrated complex (for spot treatment etc), three different moisturizers (gel, rich cream, lighter lotion) all for brightening the face and resisting hyperpigmentation. so far i like the moisturizer, except that they gave us all the richer cream for dry skin, and my skin's more oily, so it's a bit too heavy for me to use daily, which is its intended use.


and escada sunset heat for men is FABULOUS. i initially thought it would be too sweet for most guys, but my boyfriend tried it on when he came to pick me up from work one day and i nearly jumped him when i smelled it. and so since it's got his approval, i knew it was okay to buy him a bottle.

I've been using the Givenchy since I got it on Sunday and I really really like it. My philosophy on things like foundation/mascara/skincare...if it's working for you, keep it. I've tried about 100 mascaras in less than a year, and thus far I've only been happy with BadGal Lash and G. Eye Fly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't really volumize, but my lashes are decently lush on their own and they're super super dark black so they look really thick. But the eye fly lengthens and separates them really really well. I've never tried the Shu, I hear good things about it, but like I said: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

thanks so much. now i don't have to go to the department stores to buy it. i can just go to Sephora and purchase. i hate that most of the time when i go to a counter, there is no one there to help me. but luckily, at Sephora i can just walk in, get the stuff i need and walk out.

Yes...that is true...the Eye Fly doesn't volumize...but I'm like you; I don't really need volumizing (my lashes are already pretty full), just lengthening! That's what I love it for..it does a superb job..better than anything I've ever tried for lengthening-and I've tried *quite* a few!

I have decided that I will buy another tube (even though it costs $23 a tube..it's worth it when you find that one amazing product!).

In time, I will probably also try the Shu Uemera (I'll seek some more Sephora MA opinions on how they like it)..AND I've GOT to try Benefits' BGL (I L
