exactly !

I don't think Miss Kern needs to worry about what any of us think--especially those critiquing her attire and physical looks. That disgusts me.

you may want to take your outrageous indignation down a notch. There's nothing mean or disrespectful about making a suggestion to somebody. I would certainly do it in person to a friend so making that suggestion about/to Jamie well there's nothing wrong with it! I have heard no malice in the majority of the comments regarding her choice of wardrobe.

Re: It Cosmetics - Plastic Surgeons

If you google her name she was very skinny and beautiful. I have to agree that she really needs to change her look let's face it maybe try a different dress makes her look very top heavy. It is just a fact like it or not. But I love her products!

Well lets see, dirt from the Amazon, clay from Japan, multiple medical degrees, a miracle discovered by monks, a miracle discovered doing alga research, found on a 70 year old French woman, the angels are singing, and originally from a derm office are all taken. What is left for a marketing ploy?

Big breath, rant over. Time for coffee and a walk {#emotions_dlg.blushing}

And the "rare" argan oil that comes from "rare" trees that are thousands of years old and only give off a cup of oil each....lol

I always laugh when I see Adrian hold up that one bottle of argan. You know the one, the one that goes into the thousands of products that we're selling here every year?

No one who sells agran oil for cosmetics reveals how it it harvested. I will preface by saying argan oil is primarily a cooking oil on Morocco, and I have used it - tastes wonderful!

Argan nuts are very hard. The fruit is harvested by goats. They eat the fruit off the trees, and the hard seeds are collected from the goat excrement. Of course they are cleaned before being pressed for oil. This however doesn't sound so glamorous.

From what I've read, this is not true of good-quality argan oil.

She needs to change her look only if she so desires. What she looked like at some point in the past does not need to be continually brought up to somehow shame her.

What would be found if your name was googled, I wonder?

I really don't care if she always mentions the plastic surgeons or the way she dresses, all that matters is that all the products I have tried from her line are as good or better than she describes.

regardless of how it is or is not harvested argan oil is no more beneficial for your skin then olive oil. It's all in the marketing the new exotic oil, liquid gold! I think we are all aware that no one ingredient is a magic bullet

On 5/17/2014 lyn in MI said: I've never understood the relevance either. Plastic surgeons specialize in surgery while dermatologists and aestheticians specialize in skin care and cosmetic chemists create products. I just can't see any plastic surgeon devoting 5 years of research to help launch an eye brow pencil.


Actually, plastic surgeons work more with skin care and make up then you think! I worked for one for many years and he has his own skin care line and make up. If you go in to MOST plastic surgeons offices, you will find a vast amount of skin care and make up. They deal with burn victims, accident victims and people after they have had a face lift or laser resurfacing. They make a great deal of money on their skin care products and make up. In fact, if you go to one of our big, local grocery stores, you will find a local plastic surgeons skin care line in the store on a special display! The products fly out of there!!!! So yes, if a plastic surgeon stands to make millions on a product that he/she is lending their skills/name to, they most certainly WOULD spend 5 years developing an eyebrow pencil.
