I use quite a few of Paula's products; however, I am really uncertain about the matte eye palette and bronzer I just received last week and have used a few times. Not sure yet about the color payoff. I also got the Resist powder but it's going back. As for the skincare, I have used quite a few of her products over the years - still do - and almost all have been successful for me. Both my kids use the Skin Balancing line, too.

Gotpaw, why didn't you like the bronzer? I'm thinking of buying it. (Fair skin with cool undertones)

Also wondering why you didn't like the Resist powder?

The bronzer I'm really on the fence about. I have to apply several times to get it to show. Which actually I like better than some bronzers that are just too heavy. I'm fair and freckled so the colors are good in the compact. The Resist powder is super chalky -way dry. It gets a crust layer on the top and then just doesn't apply. One of the reviews on her site states the issues I have with the powder. I bought it in porcelain which is the best color for me. I don't notice any sparkle or sheen to it like some have stated. I usually use Lucidity by EL so the sheen wouldn't bother me anyway. HTH

I have the same problem with the Resist powder…very dry and chalky and gets a film on top that makes it impossible to pick up on the brush. I love Paula's skincare but have not been wowed by the make up I've tried so far.

peace, did you buy the eyeshadow palette? I love it.

${#emotions_dlg.crying}$ Wow I hope mine doesn't get a film on it. I haven't looked at the reviews for this on her site. At least she has a good return policy if mine does do this. Hopefully, since I have had it for a few weeks, mine will be fine.

I just went over to Paula's site to price out my next skincare order and prices have gone up again or so it seems. I still feel that her products are reasonably priced, however. I do get wonderful results and I have sensitive, acne-prone skin. I need another code!
