Fine wrinkles were noticeably better and my overall skin tone and even-ness of color was improved. Be very careful, though, this is a serious application! Even my plastic surgeon was impressed! Although - he would have liked to charge me $1,000 for the same thing!.

Im so glad I dont have to go to a office anymore. Thank you so much. I will be a regular client of yours from now on. Your products are so effective.

A recent testimonial on YouTube for our MUAC 30% Glycolic Acid Peel
Dear Kathleen and the wonderful team at MUAC,
My skincare story spans two continents over three years ... Back then, when I was pregnant and still living in tropical Singapore where the heat and humidity clogged my pores, I ditched my prescription Differin and Clindamycin for your 5% Beta Hydroxy Serum to control my acne and hormonal spots. A US-based cousin would faithfully bring back to Singapore the precious vials of my 'zitkiller' - so potent that a dab of the BHA serum would stop the burgeoning pimple in its tracks. What I loved about it was I could confidently use it sparingly in both pregnancy and lactation, unlike Retin A, oral tetracyclines and all the other topical antibiotics I was previously so reliant on.
Two years later and a relocation to Australia (Melbourne) and two lovely children later, my skincare needs changed again. This time, it wasn't just acne scars and pimples I was battling, the dry and harsh climate of Australia (and post-partum stress) was making my skin ashy and dull, and running my fingers over my face, I could feel endless ridges of bumps, and worse, patches of melasma on my right cheekbone (horrors)! (See BEFORE picture). A quick visit to the dermatologist and a peel and a session of IPL left my skin in better condition, but me, significantly poorer. This time I resolved to find a solution myself and revisited MUAC online and started a regime with your products and what a difference it has made in a few short months.
My holy grail products are the abovementioned BHA serum (8%) used in tandem with retinol serum (0.3%) that I alternate with the gly-luronic serum every other night, and of course the 40% glycolic acid peel (weekly) that keeps my skin glistening, bright and pores absolutely clean. I'm delighted that I can do as good or even better a job than my derm by just using these products. Best part, my melasma has now faded (see AFTER picture, sans makeup) that I never did go back for the other three IPL sessions that the 'good' doctor said I would need to eradicate the pigmentation on my cheekbone for good.
Also in my arsenal are the green tea facial bar (great value), aloe jelly with lavender (wonderful for soothing freshly-peeled skin) and eye repair cream (lovely souffle texture that sinks right in yet is not too rich - I have to be careful as I have milia as well). I also highly recommend the pumpkin exfoliating masque (gorgeous glow immediately after), french green clay mask (a staple to soak oil and sebum up in summer) and amazing micropolish cream (simply the finest scrub I've ever used in my whole life - gets rid of all straggly bits of dead skin cells in awkward places like eyebrows, around the nose etc). In case I sound like an overenthusiastic infomercial flogging products with dubious credibility, just try the samples first (like what I did, baby steps) and in no time, you'd be rushing to place your second order.
Thanks Kathleen et al, now that I've got that youthful glow back, if only your team in the lab could do something about miraculous weight loss and saggy stomachs for that yummy mummy transformation to be truly complete :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I adore your products.
Since my late teens I have struggled with acne of varying degrees. I was clear for a few years, then in my late 20's I had my worst breakout ever. Deep, painful nodules that left dark red mark scars. The acne was so bad that my face actually hurt.
With facials at $100 a pop, I needed more treatments than I could afford. Thankfully I discovered your products!
The first picture is of my acne at it's worst. The second picture is today, without makeup. My red mark scars are dramatically faded, thanks to your great skincare line. The last picture is of me, with mineral makeup on. I had to send that one to you to show how smoothly makeup goes on now!
The products I have used:
French Green Clay Mask Lactic Acid Peel (during the worst of my acne I used it 2x/wk, now I use it 1x/wk) Glycolic Peel (during the worst of my acne I would use it 1x/wk in rotation with the Lactic Acid.) Currently I use the peels every now and then, Green Tea Cleansing Bar, Aloe w/Lavender Gel, Sea Mineral Toner, Pumpkin Exfoliating Mask, Glycolic Body Wash, Shea Butter Body Bar I have the TCA kit that I can't wait to try!
Thanks again for providing excellent products, prices & service.

I just wanted to let you all know that I just used a TCA 12.5% peel on my face and now on day 4 my face is brand new! I am a male and you don't often hear of men using chemical peels, but I am proud to say I did! At first I was little concerned when my face turned brown and wrinkly, but now I can't believe how dramatic the difference is. I had been a smoker and religious indoor tanner for years and this peel has taken almost all my damage off. I just order the whitening Vitamin C serum to lighten a few dark spots and I can't wait to get it! Thanks for offering AWESOME products!
Sincerely,

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you how I use your TCA solution. Just in case no one else has brought this to your attention yet. :-) I suffer from severe congested pores in my T Zone, especially the sides of my nose and chin. Your 12.5% peel has saved the day.
Maybe you can pass this along as an alternate way to benefit from TCA. I imagine quite a few people suffer like I do.
This is all done very quickly, without the intention of peeling, although some flaking does occur the next day (mild). I do this once or twice a week and blackheads and congestion are reduced by I'd guess 70-80% which is good enough for me :-) Steps are as follows :-)
1) combine baking soda and water in a bowl and dampen the sponge in it so that its ready to n neutralize quickly.
2) I dampen a q tip in my TCA peel solution.and working quickly over small areas of my face at a time (nose first for example) I rub the tca solution quickly over my problem area and wtihin 5-6 seconds, neutralize with my soaked sponge. Again, the goal isn't to peel, its to ungunk my pores.
3) I dry that area and then move on to the next area. repeating additional steps above.
This has helped me no much. I really can't thank you enough for offering this product. If you think this short contact treatment can help others. I hope you'll add it to the site.
Thanks guys:-)

I wanted to share my story. I am 27 and a few years ago noticed that my pores and skin had become red and inflamed. I developed horrible acne and after clearing it up, had marks and hyperpigmentation from it. I went to the doctor and got microderm and photofacials regularly to help clear my skin but felt like all it did was make my skin weaker and less elastic.
After spending all of the money I still had the marks and the redness. I was diagnosed with roseacea and given prescription acid creams to help. But really nothing ended the break outs and the redness. I spent so much money on buying foundations and creams and hiding my red and brown spots.
Then I found your site. I did the 8% at home a few times and noticed tighter skin, less sagging, smaller pores and a very clean appearance. The blemishes I had on my forehead and chin disapeared almost immediately. After a few days, my skin looked pristine.
I started a new job and everyone asked me how old I was, when I told them I was 27 they said , you look 20 or 21 at the oldest. They asked me how I keep so young looking. I told them I rub sandpaper on my face, because I don't want anyone to know that your products have taken years off of my face. Really, they are super safe and the results are astonishing. There was mild peeling after I did the double peel, but no burning and the results were just way more than anything I have seen through the $500.00 photofacials or $200.00 facials that I have paid for. If you have bad skin, or aging skin, or a skin problem and think that only a doctor can help, you will feel empowered when you help yourself and your skin and have a lasting result. I bought the first peel last summer and am just ordering more since the initial results were so lasting and great!
Thank you for making it able for me to keep my skin looking good at a such an affordable price with such great quality.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your products and what a difference they have made in my skin. I use your Lactic Acid 55% peel one a week. Amazing!! I also use your Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the morning under my make up along with the DMAE serum. My skin looks flawless and smooth! The DMAE really firms the skin. I'm only 34 but what ever small laugh lines around my eyes are gone!!! I almost never put on any face makeup. Then at bedtime your Transforming Anti Againg Serum. I never thought I could have such beautiful skin. If anyone ever doubts the quality of these products... fear not!!!! Thanks I'll forever be coming back!!

Hi Kathleen,
My name is Doris, I am 44 and have been a smoker since my mid 20s. I was also a sunworshiper and tanning booth user most of my life. I am writing to let you know about my experience and results on my 8% TCA peels turned out.
The peels were done on my face, neck chest and hands. On 11/14/07 I did my first peel. It was my first peel ever and I do admit that when the burning first began I was nervous because I was expecting the burn to get bad. To my surprise the sensation was mild. Then after the peel my face reddened and I wait for that to dissipate which it did. It was pretty red but it faded after about 10-15 minutes.That part wasn't bad at all either.
I waited about 10 days and did a second peel, this time a the two layer process after the initial five minutes. I was so happy with the results the first time but of course there's always room for improvement. On 12/23 or 12/24 I did the second peel.
After the peeling completely stopped I noticed that the lines around my lips were gone! Completely gone after the send application! The lines from the tip of my nose to my chin are much improved. I had awful blotches on my right side of face from sun damage, those are barely noticeable now.
My makeup goes on more smoothly and I use less now and only in some areas of my face. I have been told that my skin looks great.
I also had a dark age spot under my eye that showed through my makeup, that's very faded, not very noticable at all even without makeup. As for my hands they feel less dry and the knuck area where lines that form circles around them look better. My chest looks less blothchy. I wish I had more photos to share with everyone but they came out too blurred.
I will be ordering a DPL system soon. Thank you so much for your products!

Beautiful ! Thank you Doris! |
I've struggled with my skin for most of my adult life. I have spent a small fortune visiting dermatologists and estheticians to fight my hyperpigmentation and adult cystic acne. I have previously taken Accutane so things are currently under control, however my skin remained dull, scarred, and aging. I really needed to brighten and refresh my skin and that's when I stumbled on this site. Within the past four months my skin has truly been transformed as my scars have diminished and my skin has brightened. I will be 47 years old this week and I am so thankful to you for allowing me to put my best face forward.
I have used the following products from your website: TCA Peels - 12.5% and 18% 55% lactic acid peel Pumpkin Exfoliating Masque TAA Eye Repair Complex Microdermabrasion Cream
Lori Portland, Oregon (Thank you Lori !! It's hard to believe you are 47 years of age.....beautiful !)
Hi,
I ordered several of your peels and have tried them all. I have to say that your TCA is awesome. The lowest level didn’t even make me peel, but did give a good result. The lines on my face are lighter and my skin feels thicker.
I saw someone I worked with 8 years ago and she said I look younger. I look younger than 8 years ago??? Then I looked at pictures and she is right!!! My freckles are faded to nothing (From the lactic peels, I think). My pores are tiny (After 5 glycolic treatments). My acne scarring is almost entirely gone. (I guess from the combo of peels) My husband even asks me to give him peels; it is keeping his crows feet away. THIS STUFF ROCKS!!!!
I also love the pro enzyme peel for immediate results. If I want to look good for an event, I do that in the morning and it works wonders without any risk of irritation.
My one warning would be to really read the materials because the glycolic does bring stuff to the surface, so don’t do it before an event. I tend to do my peels on Sunday so I peel through the week and look good by Friday.
Thanks!!!!

Hi Kathy and Crew at Makeup Artist Choice,
Your DPL machine rocks! I wanted to let you know of my results.....my fast results....with the DPL Machine. I have to admit that I could not see how light would help my hyperpigmentation. However, after using the machine for 3 days, I see positive results, and have from the very first treatment.
What is happening is the brown spots are lightening, and some are peeling. There is a spot on my upper lip where I had a cold sore that has been there since July. Well, it's almost gone! I would not have trusted anyone but Makeup Artist Choice to purchase such a machine. It works.
I choose the machine because I wanted to get away from chemical peels and try a less invasive technique for skin care. Thanks, Kathy for emailing me personally regarding my concern that DPL machines might cause hyperpigmentation in African American skin, and allowing me to speak with the manufacturer directly.
And thanks for such a great product.

Good Morning!
I just wanted to send you a note regarding your Pumpkin Exfoliating Masque. It is fantastic. It stings a little but the results are wonderful! So for all the people out there on the fence about this product, just buy it and try it! And you will never underestimate the "power of the pumkin" again!!!
Graciously, Theresa W. Pasadena, MD
Can't wait to get my Christmas gift to me. Love, love, love, my DPL light and EVERYTHING else I have ever purchased from MUAC. Absolutely the best, no junk, the real deal with quality support and documentation. Killer website too!

Thank you so much for the plethora of information you provide on your site, the enclosed instructions with the order I received and for the surprise gift... I also appreciate the fast processing and shipping! But, I am especially grateful for your products, which clearly are researched, well-thought out and obviously actually work... what a novel approach in this overloaded market of products with few to no mechanisms of action. What a pleasure this experience has been... thank you again! Linda Jackson, OH (Linda uses our Retinol Serum, Kathleen Mineral Makeup, Shea Butter Cleansing Bar, and Lactic Acid Peels.)
I started using your TCA 12.5 and 18% about 3 months ago. The first round of 12.5% TCA was like a good exfolliant. Then, 2 weeks later, I tried the 12.5 on my cheeks and forehead, and the 18% on my upper lip lines and the crease between my eyes. It took about 4 days to notice any peeling and then I really noticed some changes. The fine lines on my cheeks all but disappeared and the upper lip lines are noticeably reduced. My third go was even better. I am itching to try the 21%, but my schedule just hasn't allowed the 'down time' for serious peeling. So, I have been doing twice weekly lactic acid peels at 55% and 65%. I have decided that I can take my time to get to where I want this way. If not for your products I would have to spend thousands of dollars for a one time chemical peel and the down time of 8 weeks to 3 months is more than I can take. I have to tell you that my last order was made on a Tuesday morning and I received it in Colorado on Thursday! WOW! And Kathleen, thank you so much for all the time you gave me on the phone and e-mail with my endless questions. Where else can we get that kind of personal attention? Jamie Denver, CO
I am a very happy repeat customer.
I have been using the 15% Salicylic Acid and a 12% TCA peel. AMAZING results. I've spent far too much on my spa sessions, when this is the exact same product and result. My skin looks no where near its 42 years. No one believes I've been teaching 20 years. AND the samples you send hook you on something new! Thanks for providing such a great website and product descriptions are soooo helpful.
Shannon Redding, CA
I've been using your products for several months now, and have noticed significant improvement in my skin. I'm 46 and have hormonal (from hysterectomy and subsequent hormone flluctuations trying to get hormones right) skin problems, so I have large pores with blackheads and breakout occasionally on my chin and cheeks (where I have excessive oilyness). I've been using the green tea soap everyeday and use 8% Beta Hydroxy serum every other day and that's improved oilyness alot. I also have been using 40% lactic acid peel about once a week. I recently purchased the Transforming Anti-aging Mist because my skin does sometime dry out (but not very much). I also purchased the 10% retinol serum and REALLY like how that has helped more with the wrinkles around my lips. Having "older" skin that acts more like younger skin is a real problem for me and your products have helped me more that ProActiv or anything else. Thanks for all your help. I think my 15-year-old found your site for me and it has been SUCH a blessing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I have used my 21% TCA sample and I absolutely love the results!!!! Good stuff! I've just ordered the 2 oz kit. Mardena Arizona
I found your site while searching for chemical peel products. I bought a few products, but I can not say enough about the Alpha Beta Cleanser. I have been using it for about 5 weeks and have noticed great improvement. I was always good for having a one or two pimple show up over night. However, I have not gotten ONE new pimple since using this product. It took a while for the old ones to clear up, but since they have, my skin has become clear and the little blemishes have disappeared. I am usually very skeptical about buying product online, but I will not be searching anywhere else. I have found my site. Thank you for the speedy service and for the little extra gift.

Tammy Honolulu, HI
I am 27 yrs old, African American with oily & acne prone skin. For the first time after 13 years, am able to walk around without make up....i've had a problem with acne since i was 14 yrs old. I've tried over the counter medications but nothing worked. I have been using makeup foundations to cover my face that had been a victim of discoloration. A week would never pass by without having break-outs. Due to discoloration, my facial skin color became darker than the rest of my body.
I came across makeupartistschoice.com and thought i should give it a try. To be honest, if you'd find a person who'd pray at night just to have a better skin...that would be ME.
I decided to order 30% Glycolic peel and Skin Whitening Cleanser...
Day before the peel: used a AHA gentle scrub to cleanse my face
1st Day using the peel: After the peel, my skin was clear and my acne spots were almost invisible. My face was soft and i could definately see immediate results.
1 week later...2nd peel: My skin is looking better than the the first time i used the peel. I was able to walk around without make up and people are complimenting on my skin.
Results after a week: acne marks are definately fading. Skin texture is perfect and am glowing.
Unbelievable.....i wish i had pictures before i started the peel (i dont think i have ANY because i've always had makeup on and never had a picture taken without makeup).If you can define the worst skin ever ..WITH ACNE MARKS, UNEVEN SKIN TONE, DULL SKIN..u name it. This was a nightmare and am so glad i found MAKEUPARTISTSCHOICE.
Will definately recommend your products to others who've experienced what i have gone through in the past 13 yrs.
This has changed my life.....and am looking forward to the new ME.
Bahati Houston, TX
The skin whiteneing gel SIGNIFICANTLY faded the 5 age spots on my face. I have tried hydroquinone, kojic acid products, and Lumedia; none of these products worked for me.

Hi my name is Darlene and I am African American. I ordered the TCA 12.5% Peel last week. (today is 7/20/07)
First of all it only took a couple of days for the product to arrive at my home, and I thought that was a "big plus"!! I did my first peel last Saturday morning (07/14/07) and let me tell you about my fantastic results!!! I did my cheeks, lower jaw, and my chin. The burning sensation only lasted a few minutes, but after I used the green tea soap the burning stopped immediately. I then put some antibiotic ointment all over my face to sooth my skin. The peeling was gradual on Monday (07/16), but was in full bloom by Tuesday (07/17) and Wednesday (07/18), but it wasn't too bad at all. Once the old skin begins to sloth off, you can see the fantastic results surfacing from the "new skin". The new skin "stings" a little with the use of sunscreen, but it was very tolerable!! Today is Friday (07/20) and although I don't have any more peeling, my skin looks "FANTASTIC" and it's as smooth as a baby's bottom!!! I don't have any more large open pores on my face and all of the dark blotches are all gone. I will redo my chin in a few weeks to remove the rest of the discoloration, but my chin looks a "whole lot better" now, than it did before the peel.
I went to my doctor's office on Tuesday and normally I hated looking in the mirror in the exam room because I would normally see every open pore and every dark blotch on my skin, but I "SWEAR" to you that when I looked in the mirror on Tuesday, I was so happy with how I looked!!!!!
I know that it isn't recommended to do a peel on your mouth (lips), but I did and my mouth lightened up like crazy and my lips are smooth like butter now. My lips are an even color and my colored lip gloss looks so good now!!!
My skin is so pretty now and I look a lot younger and well rested too!!! No more dark and haggard skin.
I must say that African American's and women of color can use this product safely after following all the directions and get fantastic results just like I did!!!!! And just think, I had an appointment at the spa to have a 3 session Lactic Peel for $240.00!!! I'm so glad I found your website and purchased "your product"!!!!! Take Care, Darlene (43, but now looks 30) - St Louis, MO
I started using your products a few months ago and have had wonderful results ....I had become seriously ill and hospitalized and suddenly my skin became awful. I tried a glycolic peel at the beautician and it was good ,so I decided to order online I have now graduated from 40 percent to 50 percent and last visit to my doctor he stated how good my skin was....Hoping the rest of me gets that good too...Thank you for your wonderful products from the bottom of my heart.....
Pauline from Florida
Hello! I just had to write to you to let you know how happy I am with the TCA 15% peel. I did my first peel about 3 1/2 weeks ago and at first did not notice much. I did one layer and didn't have any peeling. I then contacted your company and received a reply immediately. It was very helpful to be able to speak to someone who was knowledgeable. Then last week I did another peel with 2 layers. Wow! My skin started peeling after the 3rd day and the new skin is baby soft. I am 30 years old and have always had large pores, oily skin and frequent breakouts. My skin also had a very uneven tone which made me look like I didn't take care of it even though I tried everything. As of right now my skin is looking wonderful. It isn't patchy like it was before the peels. I still have a little bit of peeling left, but its obvious how great this product works.
Thank you all so much for you help and I look forward to trying more products! Susan
I love the DPL machine I purchased in March. I hope Kathie is doing well and that you all are enjoying this gorgeous summer,

Your TCA 30 kit is just great stuff. Folks at my class reunion said I looked so much younger than anyone there. I told them my "secret" right away! I'd advise anyone using this kit to go gradually, and not try the stronger recipes first.

I've been ordering from you for quite some time and love everything I've gotten so far.
I started using the DPL system as soon as I received it and, after several days, it has already faded a scar I had outside my left eye. I am really impressed. Also I can feel a difference in the texture of my skin already
Jo also uses Kathleen Pressed Mineral Makeup, Velvet Veil, Bio Peptide Serum, and 8% TCA. Thank you Jo!

Hi,
I just purchased your DPL system for my face and in only four days of 18 minute sessions, I have noticed my age spots fading and my skin texture showing signs of plumpness. At age 42, I could use this on my entire body to get rid of my other age spots and slightly visible loose skin.
Sincerely, Jessica Los Angeles, CA
Acne, I hate that word. I've had acne most of my life. My acne started becoming cystic when I was in my early twenties. I visited one of the best dermatologists in Houston. His first reaction was to put me on Accutane. This This was not an option for me.
I have been on many prescription medications. I have also used prescription topical medications. These all had adverse effects on my health. I have also tried many designer, name brand, over-the-counter, cheap, and expensive potions that promise to resolve all of my problems.
They all seemed to work for the first week or so. Then my skin would become resistant to the products. I'm not sure that's medically possible but the results would stop after the first couple of treatments. My skin is oily but VERY sensitive and many of those products would dry and irritate my skin.
BEFORE MARCH, 2006 |
AFTER MAY 2007 |
A year or two ago, I resigned all hope and decide to "live with it". I thought it was just my lot in life to have acne, very bad acne. I dealt with it. I had to learn to be comfortable with my reality.
I was listening to a world-renowned aging expert (whatever that means) talk about skin care one day. She was speaking about exfoliation and how most women do not do enough of it. I thought to myself that I would not want to be in my fifties with wrinkles and acne due to a lack of sufficient exfoliation.
I began my search for an at-home peel kit. I truly believe that it was divine intervention that brought me to Makeup Artist's Choice. I have been doing lactic acid peels since November of 2006.
I did them twice a week the first couple of months. I now do them once a week. I have also gone through a bottle of your high potency 20% Vitamin C Serum.
I no longer have cystic acne. I have minor breakouts before my cycle which I consider normal. I have waged war on my hyper-pigmentation and scarring left by my previous acne. I know that with my continuous use of these products I will be victorious.
I would like to publicly and sincerely thank Kathleen and her staff for their awesome customer service. Their products are the best I have ever used and they are affordably priced.
THANK YOU! Nancy Z.
Hi,
I emailed you a while back about the TCA 12.5% peel. I was reluctant to use it because of info I had read on potential problems for women of color. You gave me great information without pushing the peel. After much tribulation, I tried it on a small area. I didn’t feel any discomfort, but a few days later the area started to peel. Since then I have done the 12.5% peel several times. I have to say that for me, it’s better then the lactic acid.
I just want to tell any woman of color that this is a great peel for removing discoloration. Thanks Makeup Artist Choice.

I've been using your Photo Rejuvenation machine for about 9 weeks and am now on a maintanence schedule. I wanted to update you on my improvements. The general look and texture of my skin has changed dramatically and even my friends have commented on how much younger I look. I am 60 years old and baked in the sun for years. Thank you for offering this product for home users. I was getting IPL treatments at the spa, which was inconvenient and EXPENSIVE.

Your TCA peel is amazing! It has been more effective than all the glycolic peels I've had at the dermatologist's thus far.

I have used another famous line of mineral makeup for years, but trying your samples has completely changed my mind. Your mineral foundation is so much better. Thank you, thank you.

Hi, I just wanted you to know that I am a 33 yrs old and have been fighting breakouts since I have been 15 years old and your products have changed my life! In the past I would spend hundreds of dollars on high end skincare to get rid of my pimples. I've tried ProActive too, which didnt work at all. I searched the net for home peels, and stumbled onto your website. Your descriptions were fantastic and thorough so I bought the 12 1/2% TCA peel, used it, and saw a dramatic difference in my skin! It felt smoother, my pores shrunk, and my fine lines are now even finer! The thing that was a HUGE added bonus was the sample green tea bar that came with it. The first time I used it, I was SHOCKED at how clean my face felt! It actually squeeked it was so clean, and I have not had a pimple since! I tell everyone about it because this little bar of soap, (now I buy the big one), for $10, I have the cleanest, clearest skin! I feel beautiful and people comment on how I have awesome skin! Me? Have awesome skin? YIPPEE!! So thank you, thank you, thank you. You saved me money, embarrassment and aggravation in finding that miracle products that works! I have five or six different products from you and love them all!

I never expected just two peels with the mildest lactic acid to make my skin tone so even! My friend thought I was wearing expensive new makeup. You do make very high-end products and you give impeccable instructions. Thanks to you, I can afford to look good!

Thank you SOOO much for providing samples. I'm absolutely loving the change in my skin since using your Green Tea Cleansing bar and 3% Beta Hydroxy Serum. Blackheads are getting a better and I'm getting ready to move up to the 5% I also ordered. Thanks again for having the opportunity to purchase samples!

Thank you so much for your products.
I am a 41 year old mother of 4 with extensive dark melasma on my face. My first experience with melasma was after my now 14 year old daughter was born. Small dark patches appeared on my chin, cheeks and forehead. My condition grew progressively worse especially after my hysterectomy in 2001 and the introduction to hormone replacement therapy. It had taken over my face, even my eyelids and brow area were covered. I hated my face. No amount of cover up would hide the melasma. It looked like I had constant "dirty marks" which now covered 90% of my face.
Over the years, I have been to many dermatologists and have had mutliple treatments such as peels, microdermabrasion and IPL. The treatments have helped to a certain degree but financially are so costly I could not maintain a treatment schedule. One IPL treatment cost $ 350.00! The melasma is at such varying depths it would take months of various treatments to lighten.
I am so thankful that I have found your website so I can maintain and control this emotionally and physically draining condition. I just purchased the TCA 30% adjustable kit and just applied my first treatment 4 days ago. The directions were easy to follow and I have started to peel today.
To any other melasma suffers, there are treatments for our condition.
Makeup Artist Choice can help. Thank you!!

I am very happy with the quality and effectiveness of your products. People have commented on the improvement in the appearance of my skin since I have been using the TCA peel. There is nothing like these products at the cosmetic counter. It's wonderful to purchase a product that really makes a difference! Gaynor Hampton Massachusetts

Dear Kathie,
I recently did a TCA 12.5% peel.
I applied it for only five minutes and found that it really wasn’t enough time. Three weeks later, I did the application twice over a ten minute period, always following your instructions, and that’s when the peel really worked. The following day and that week, my skin lightly peeled. Ok, so it wasn’t the most comfortable 3-4 days of my life, but the point is that the product worked and has revealed really soft skin with slightly diminished lines.
I’m 39 years old and only have very fine lines so I saw immediate results, especially around my mouth.
Thank you for allowing me to treat myself to skin peels at home, for including really comprehensive instructions and for providing a product that actually works! Alexandra NashMilan, Italy
I have very “congested” skin and the only thing that ever helped was having Glycolic Acid peels done. I have been going to a plastic surgeons office to have the undiluted Glycolic treatments. Having it done there burned less than at salons. I was told that it was because they use a higher grade Glycolic Acid.
I was very nervous to purchase and use what I ordered. I did the treatment with 25% strength to start, and I LOVED it. I expected extreme burning, like I have experienced from lesser grade peels at salons. It felt the same as going to the doctor’s office. My skin felt smooth and clean.
I have had enough peels done to know this is as good as going to the doctor. The only difference is the kit is $83 and I always paid $90/per session at the doctors. I have already called my sister and friends to tell them about this. I will tell everyone about this product. I will recommend this product to everyone.

Hi, I happened to find your website after searching "for do it yourself "beauty help.
I am a 53 year old woman (sun worshiper) and had dryness, wrinkling and dullness on my skin. I purchased your 30% glycolic acid peel along with the copper peptide serum. I used it faithfully for 5 weeks and absolutely love the results.
The best part is, when I went for my semi-annual Botox treatment at the cosmetic surgeons office, he was blown away at the condition of my skin. When the needles are inserted for the Botox, if the skin is in bad shape, it crunches. I know thats a bit graphic, but my skin didn't show any signs of that dryness. He asked what I had been doing and I explained it to him. So if my cosmetic surgeon compliments me, I know I've done something right.
I love your great customer service and products!!
Thanks,
Jan Wagner

The Retinol is amazing stuff! It is the only product I have ever used on my face where I saw a noticeable improvement OVERNIGHT. It makes my skin GLOW. It is the first and only product that noticeably fades the dark circles under my eyes. I am also delighted with the other MUAC products I use - 8% and 12.5% TCA and 55% Lactic Acid - including the Hyaluronic Acid and Soy Fluid I am buying today so I won't run out. MUAC's Soy fluid seems to be the only one on the market with the soy is listed as the second ingredient - a great bargain, just like everything else at MUAC. The acid peels are wonderful. I use the Lactic Acid every week and the TCA (12.5% layered on top of the 8% as a primer) whenever my skin starts to look less-than-glowing. My only complaint: I wish my local Ulta would carry your products so I wouldn't have to wait for them to arrive by mail when I run out !

I've been using your pressed foundation sample (Kathleen Minerals), and blush along with the Velvet Veil. I work 11 or 12 hour days - it lasts all day. I'm finally ordering full sized foundation (the sample lasted a long time) and a brush for the blush. I also enjoy using the sin care products and doing peels whenever I have time Thanks for making this 45 year old girl look great!

Hi Kathie,
Thanks for the prompt shipment of the 12% TCA peel, 5% Beta Hyrdroxy serum. The Beta has really done a noticeable job! I'm 37 and have always had oily skin with clogged pores and a pebbly texture, and just now I'm starting to notice little lines and dullness. I can't believe how smooth and "bright" my skin is now. All these years with clay masks and pore strips and nothing happened...but the Beta. I've noticed a few large zits lately but that's just the Beta bringing nasty stuff out, and the zits go away quickly. I used to be able to see blackheads deep in my skin, now they are clearing out. Awesome!!
I will be doing my first peel shortly for old acne scars and those little lines, and will send you photos.
Excellent business, excellent products!

First of all, let me tell you how much I love your products ! I have used the 12.5% TCA peel once and it gave me much better results than seven professional microdermabrasion sessions I had a few years ago. I used it a second time and had even better results.
However, since my 52 year old skin has been weathered and spotted by the sun and has very large pores, I decided to switch to the 15%. The results are great. I did the 15% two weeks ago and must admit - I look great, well - make that "better" ! LOL
The brown spots are lighter, the deep creases under my eyes are getting better, the deep creases from my nose to my lips are barely noticeable and my face is much smoother. I sing your praises to everyone that mentions how less tired and happy I look.
You have excellent customer service and products. I had researched different procedures and plastic surgeons, chose one and was due to be scheduled for a face-lift, liposuction of the fat pads under my eyes, and an eyebrow lift, until my friend showed me her results from your products and gave me your website. I cancelled my appointment, saved thousands of dollars, did not have to have anesthesia, and a long down-time for recovery.
Your products are a blessing !

I recently heard about your company through a website called Makeup Alley and I am so very glad I did! Everyone has been raving about all of your products, especially your glycolic, lactic, and TCA peels. I was extremely excited to hear this, so I went straight to your website and ordered the 40% Glycolic Acid Peel Sampler to get started and prepare my skin for the stronger peels.
Hello! I'm 60 years old, a smoker, and have been in way too much sun. (I have pictures of me at the age of three, my mom, my aunt and cousins at the beach with a bottle of baby oil--just frying in the sun. Times were different then; we thought it was healthy!) About twenty years ago I gave up sun, started with high octane sunscreens, and tried hundreds of Over-The-Counter and dermatologist products to try to repair the damage. None has made the difference that your TCA peel has. (Meril is using our adjustable TCA 30 kit.) I've recently gotten other products from you and look forward even more progress. I love your products so much that I've put your web address on my address bar, that way once a month I can shop for new stuff and refills of things that are working!
Many thanks!
Meril-Jean Price, California

Hi,
I've been a loyal customer for over 5 years---my latest love is the Gly-Luronic serum---I haven't done a peel since using this and my friends are asking me quite often "oh did you do one of those peels again"---no oil--no dryness ---just perfectly balanced skin, and makeup that goes and stays on great.. I'm still using Copper at night--forever!!!!
My latest compliment was "you are kidding that you just turned 52---you must not have any stress in your life"... No sir just great products!!!!

Hello,
My name is Karen and I have chronic and genetic Melasma on my face and I started noticing extreme acceleration of my condition after the birth of my 4th child. Now that I am 40, I am tired of looking like I have dirt marks on my lips and hair dye stains on my face (my beautician used to scrub my face thinking she dripped solution on my cheeks-very embarrassing!!!)
I have used your TCA 21% for not only my age spots but also on a long ago Tattoo I have but nolonger care to keep. It has actually lightened the tattoo which actually might enable me to have to spend less on the final professional removal!!!
I also am a firm believer in the skin whitening cream which smells wonderful and compliments the Glycolic acid peels I use in between TCA treatments. I work at a higher education facility and have told all the faculty and staff about how and why my face looks so fresh!!! I send the link out to your site on a regular basis!!!
Karen Ackles
Karen, thanks so much for sharing your photo. You're gorgeous!! Four children? 40 years old? No way!! :-)))) We attribute the success of our whitening products to the alpha arbutin, which is a wonderful active ingredient that inhibits the formation of melanin in the skin. We're delighted the whitening cream, and our peels, are working so well for you. Thanks again for taking time from your busy schedule to share your experiences with us, and with visitors to our website.
Thank you so much for your product line. My skin changed the second I put the green tea cleanser on my face.
I have acne scars on my chin and mouth corners, scars from an auto accident on my forehead, nose and mouth and my skin is sun/wind-damaged from years of riding a motorcycle. Now that I have young children and am no longer subjecting my skin to the abuse, I have been trying to repair some of the damage.
My goal was to have a medium peel (TCA) which I unfortunately purchased elsewhere...disappointing. I decided to buy the lactic/glycolic acid and some samples of moisturizers from you. I used your product for weeks before my tca peel. I was GLOWING! My acne scars immediately faded some and my crows feet seem to be erased, your lactic acid peel is scandalous!
My wrinkles plumped and I looked noticeably younger than 42. (I am already young looking 42 so I was pretty impressed) The scars between my eyes lightens and I am so pleased.
I really must stress that over the years, I have used quality and high end products or tried natural products that have done absolutely nothing for me. I am really excited to have products that I can introduce to my young daughters when they hit the "trouble" skin years so they can handle teenage breakouts with less stress.
I recently started wearing make up again (after 6 years) Your pressed minerals blush and foundation blended beautiful with my skin and the brush I purchased with them is perfect for my makeup case. I was very happy with the feel and wear of fast lash and my sparse lashes looked feathery, full, and natural. Thank you for your samples and quick delivery. The SOY SERUM is so yummy, my skin drinks it up.
I can't wait to try your TCA peel in a few months. Thank you again for your outstanding products.

I purchased your AAA Skin Complex with CoQ10 & Skin Flux. It's an excellent product! Can I use it around my eyes?
Mary Rael Germantown MD (Yes! Use this one on face, neck and chest. It's an amazing formulation and great for the delicate eye-area. Thanks for your note!)
I am 34 years old with sun damage. I used an 8% TCA peel on 09/29/06. I have attached two photos. One is from 09/28/2006 (pre-peel) and the other is 10/15/2006 (post-peel.)
As you can see, the results are visible! The age spot is lighter & smaller. The sagging by my nose is better, and the line by my mouth is also smaller.

I will continue to use and order your products! I will also recommend them to people. Thanks for everything!
Dawn Brienza Jessup, MD (Thanks for sharing your photos, Dawn. It's so helpful for others to see them!)
I've had several photo facials at the plastic surgeon's office and the cost had become too much for me, based on the number of treatments they recommended.
I bought your DPL system a few weeks ago and was anxious to get started. Admittedly, I was really skeptical that a home machine could work, but my results are outstanding and I'm thrilled with what I'm seeing in the mirror.
I've used it twice a day, faithfully, for the 9 minutes recommended. Almost immediately, I noticed that my skin was more moist. I'm in my late 50s and have a lot of blotchiness. My skin tone has improved tremendously and there's a firmness I hadn't seen with other skin care.
Like many women my age, I had considered a face lift, but I think I can delay it based on the results I'm getting with your photo rejuvenation system. I wish to offer you my sincere thanks for offering an affordable product that actually works.

I have had acne scars for the last 7 years and have spent over $10,000 dollars on laser surgery, dermabrassions and chemical peels. Some of the procedures I tried even made my scars worse. I have Crohns disease and had to quit my job as a paralegal and don't have the money to pay all doctors and spas I use to go to. The last doctor I saw offered the TCA peel but it was $700 dollars. Since I couldn't afford that I thought I would see if I could find it on the internet. I found your website but hesitated buying the TCA peel since I've already bought every product under the sun that promised to get rid my scars. I've been using the TCA peel over the last couple of months and love what I'm seeing in the mirror. I know it won't get rid of my scars completely, but the small improvements I've been seeing sometimes reduce me to tears because I'm so happy. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating a quality product that is affordable. My friends and relatives have been giving me compliments and it feels great. I've been telling everyone I know about your website. Thank you so much.

Kathleen,
When I was a teenager I was cursed with really bad acne, and it left very bad, deep ice-pick scars across my entire face. I have been to several Dr's and have tried micro-dermabrassion, and even the micro-laser peel, which made little difference and cost me a small fortune.
I'm 36 yrs old now and thought I was gonna have to spend the rest of my life ugly and scarred. A few months ago I was surfing the Internet and came across your site. I looked at the prices and thought they were extremely reasonable compared to the Dr visits - $250 for the micro-derm and $800 for the micro-laser. I ordered a series of the TCA peels 12% 15% 18% and 21% and also the super copper peptide serum.
I have used both the 12% and 15% and can tell a big difference, the people at work keep asking me what am I'm doing differently and how good I look !!
It has helped improve my self confidence and for the first time in years I don't feel like people are staring at my scars. I still have a long way to go but I feel like when I work my way up to and do a few 21% peels, I will be where I want to be. My only regret is I forgot to take before photos. With all that being said, I want to send you a genuine heart felt Thank You. You have honestly changed my life !!!
(Oh my gosh.....I am *so* touched by your thoughtful note, Gene. Thank you for taking the time to write us. It's great to know we're helping you, and others, with life-long skin care issues. If you get the time, please take a few
photos for us to post here......we'd love to put a face-to-the-name.
Sending you a hug, Kathleen)
Just thought I would send a little e-mail to let you know.....I AM SOOOOOOOOO PLEASED with the results so far with your 18% TCA. I have used the TCA Peel on my forhead...upper lip....and a little on crow's feet. This product truly works...and I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of having laser etc...this works just as well...and I am glad I cancelled my laser appt. and saved $$$.
I am a flight attendant for Jet Blue Airways....and will definitely pass this site on to my fellow crewmembers! You guys ROCK!

Thanks for offering a photo rejuvenation unit. I'm not a novice, having had many treatments at my dermatologist's office. Because I travel a lot, your unit has been a God-send for me, not to mention the savings. I had been paying $350/treatment, so this product is saving me a lot of money.
Bonnie Traverse New Hope, PA Thanks, Bonnie. While not for everyone, this is a great way to keep the skin looking younger and helps your skin care products to penetrate the skin more deeply.

This is the best eye cream I have ever used. After only 7 days, I feel I've taken 10 years off the aging skin around my eyes. I'm of Italian descent, plagued with dark circles my entire adult life. They are much improved. I feel much more confident about my appearance. I'm thrilled! Thanks for an awesome product.

(We're receiving many testimonials regarding the great results of this product. The clinical studies are very impressive. And, yes, this product does provide visible results quickly. Our formulation will improve natural collagen production, improve skin firmness, and provide a reduction in wrinkles as the collagen continues to rebuild and "fill in" lines/wrinkles. Use twice daily, after cleansing.)
Your products have really improved my skin. (Ellen is using our lactic acid and Bio Peptide Concentrate.)

I purchased your IPL the day I received your newsletter announcing it as a new item. I have been using it nearly every day for six weeks and the results are becoming very visible. I am 62 and was a smoker for years. My upper lip area is beginning to look much smoother and the lines between my eyebrows are much softer. My next goal is to concentrate the light on the lines that run from my nose to the corners of my mouth. I like the fact that it runs on batteries. I use it when I'm watching t.v. at night. At your suggestion, I took digital photos before I began using the light. I took more photos this week for comparison. The results are very noticeable. I feel I look much younger than my years and hope this product will continue to fight the aging process.
Thanks for your great products,

Really having success with 40% Lactic Acid peel. Health insurance covers laser for Rosacea, but only in certain areas which left my upper lip area looking more wrinkled and dry in comparison to areas treated by dermatologist. Thanks to your 40% Lactic Acid Peel, my upper lip area is catching up and even feels smooth to the touch! P.S. Thanks for the super fast service even at the lowest shipping method. When your package arrived, it felt like Christmas!

I got a sample of the Syn Coll and I love it ! I noticed the change after a couple days of use -- I am 49, Irish and my skin is in good shape from taking care of it. But this lotion is the piece de la resistance! The microdermabrasion cream leaves my skin so soft and smooth. Thank you for making such great products! I have been purchasing your products for about 6 years now.

Wow!
Thank-you so much! I recently ordered your Advanced Eye Repair cream...what a dream! I use it daily along with my cleansing routine...it's been only a few days and can tell that the texture of the skin around my eyes is changing and there's sooo much of it...it's going to last quite a long time...Pssst! I use it on my boyfriend's eyes and surrounding skin, too...he says and I quote "It's quite refreshing". The scent is wonderful too.
I am 40 years old and have had adult acne for ten years now. Countless doctor visits did me no good. Then I found Makeup Artist's Choice. I have been using your 40% lactic peel for a few months and my skin has never been better. I am acne free and my self confident has returned. Thank you for your great products and customer service. I am ready to move on and try new products.
Thanks again, Nancy Koprowski Dover, PA

Hi,
My name is Jamie Horvitz...I happened to stumble across your website trying to get some information about TCA peels...I have done about 4-5 TCA peels over the last few years in my plastic surgeons office where I was charged 200.00 per visit...I was in and out of the office in
approx. 10 min. and I thought this is crazy to pay that amount for something that seems like i am able to do at home...I recently ordered the 15% TCA from your company followed the directions and am so pleased that I have done the same thing in my home and still have a full bottle of TCA for future use and the cost was a fraction of what i have been paying not to mention that I have the control to layer the TCA where I want a deeper peel and i can see exactly where it is being applied....Thanks so much for making this accessible to someone like me who is capable of doing this peel at home with no problem...
Sincerely,
Jamie
I ran out of SynColl and started to use my old standby----I can really tell the difference. I have had great results with your products and will be throwing our the ole' Ponds!!

Last summer I started using your lactic acid peels and loved them. In November, I tried your 18% TCA peel as I had previously tried a 12% peel by another online company and had the same results as with your lactic acid peels.
Boy, you guys definitely deliver what you advertise. I did a two layer peel. It was rough the first three days. I looked like I could have been involved in some kind of fire..Like really bad sunburn. I have to admit, I was a little worried about the results. But, I did everything I was supposed to do and in exactly one week, the nasty brown skin was gone and I was beautiful. Hyperpigmentated cheeks, forehead pimples and light wrinkles GONE!! And the skin on my face as soft and smooth as my five year old daughter's.
I work in a hospital and one of our plastic surgeons could not believe that I had not had this professionally done. He said my results were as good if not better than what could have been accomplished in an office visit. A couple of the mothers at my daughter's preschool saw me during the "scary" peeling phase and asked what I had done and I told them "a chemical peel." The following week, they wanted to know "What doctor did it?" because they were so impressed with the results.
I am 51 and so happy I found you online!!!
I have always said that Makeup is a farce for if your skin is bad nothing can help it... I still say that....skincare comes first...and your company helps to make an "illusion" true....
I live in California...and you know how hard it is to live out here and not look good!!! However I hate giving money to people who had no idea what they are doing...have been giving myself glycolic acid peels for years now...however..I felt my skin needed something stronger now ...
I ordered the 12% TCA...was soooo scared the first time to give it to myself...that I just did it on my chest, between my eyes and my marionette lines. One week later I did the whole treatment (face)..and a week later did it again however with a second layer... I am so Verrrrryyyyyy pleased with the results..
I am a producer...and work with my son...my appearance is just as important as my work..."first impressions"!!!!.... Well, I will forever be a devotee....and an customer... When they ask me if I am my sons' "sister"...well, we know what and who deserves the credit for that!!!!! YOU!!!!!
Keep all those fantastic products coming!!!!

OMG!!! For those of us who have been insecure because we have terrible skin, this is the site for us! I cannot tell you how pleased I was when I received my products (I ordered the 30% glycolic peel to prep my skin for the TCA I'm getting ready to do soon.) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I had truly hit the bottom of the barrel about how I felt about my skin, and just the short time I have been using my products, I cannot express how I feel about myself now! This has truly been a life changing experience.

I had to spend some time in the hospital this year. My bed baths were with your soap-free botanical bars (shea butter and green tea). My skin felt so much better when my caregivers used it rather than the hospital brand. Thank you very much for making it available for us.

Hello-
Thank you for making your products available on-line. The lactic acid and TCA peels have greatly improved my mildly acne scarred skin. I've realized so much improvement from the peels that I am no longer considering cosmetic surgery! Thanks again!
I love your blotting papers! They work like magic and I have found that my fickle skin likes the lactic acids the best. Thanks. I love your products!
Laura Price Vista CA
I've been very satisfied with the results

Hello Kathleen,
I've been using your French Green Clay Mask for about 2 months and feel it's an exceptional product. I would like to request that you offer it in larger sizes. I'm using it on my face, neck, upper arms and thighs. Years ago, I had a full body wrap with this type of clay and loved the results. I'm experiencing similar results at home with your product but have to order several jars to do a body treatment. Also, I've just ordered a sample of your Idebenone. If it's as good as your other products, I'm sure I'll be purchasing a full size. Thank you for offering spa quality products for use at home.
Doris Pennington Redwood CA Thanks for the feedback Doris. We'll definitely work on offering a larger size of the French Green Clay for full body wraps, along with the wrapping materials.
Hi Kathie,
I'm continuing to use your Botox Alternative Cream (which I love) for lifting effects on my face and jowl area.
THANK YOU for offering these products in sample sizes. I don't think I would have spent the money on full sizes without having sampled them first.

Dear Kathleen:
Hi Kathie, Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how the 12.5% tca peel went.
I am done peeling from my second application, spaced 3 weeks apart from the first. I cannot believe the difference in my skin - I can't stop looking in the mirror to see if it is really real. My red marks are noticeably diminished, and my skin is very smooth, and my pores are smaller. I had 6 sessions of microdermabrasion (cost = $450.00), and I must say, the results of the two application tca peel are very similiar. THANK YOU for making this product available!
Thanks a bunch!
Kim in Michigan
I've been using your TCA peel for about a month and can see a tremendous improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin. Look closely at the pictures. Look at the forehead. Before, you can see wrinkles behind the bangs. After the peel, no wrinkles.
Before the skin was multi-toned and rough. After, the skin is smooth and all one tone.
One more thing, look closely at the left side of my face. Before you can see the wrinkle/fold going down from my nose to my mouth. After, that fold has totally diminished. The only wrinkle I'm still working on is the one on the right side.
Sincerely, Melanie Alaska
Melanie! Beautiful results! Thanks so much for sharing !! Kathleen xoxoxo
Kathie,
I just had to let you know I used the glycolic acid peel first (30%) and then used the TCA peel soon after. My face peeled after some days, I did not think it was working) and it has just finished peeling (took total of about 9 days) and my face is so clear and soft. I was skeptical at first, but let me tell you, I never looked so good. I am 58 with some wrinkles around my eyes and left cheek ( I guess from sleeping on that side mostly) and though not completely gone, much less and some brown spots that I had on side of face near hairline are almost gone. I love this stuff and will never stop using it. Thank you so much.

I ordered the sample pack of your mineral makeup and CAN'T WAIT to get my regular size order! I have some red marks leftover from recent acne and this makeup has the best coverage I have found without being cakey. My skin looks luminous and beautiful. Thanks you! By the way, I have only been using the Copper Peptide Serum for about a week and can already tell that is' fading my red marks. I am so excited I found your site. Thanks again!

Greetings Kathie and Makeup Artist Choice Team,
I wanted to share my first TCA 8% peel experience with you. To follow your suggestion of using a glycolic acid or lactic acid pre peel for a more productive peel, I started with a lactic acid peel (55%) on Friday. Then Saturday, I did a patch test. The following Tuesday, I used the TCA peel. Being my first time with the TCA peel, I didn’t want to use the lactic acid and TCA back to back. I guess I was a little nervous. Upon application of the TCA peel, I was confused because it seemed to evaporate or soak into the skin, unlike the lactic or glycolic, which was stickier. But nonetheless, I waited till my 5-minute timer went off. I didn’t notice much peeling until Thursday, then a lot of peeling from Friday thru Sunday. The next Tuesday (a week later), the peeling is almost done. My skin is absolutely FABULOUS. I haven’t had such a great complexion in years. I hope my testimony helps others who may feel a little apprehensive about such a peel. It’s way worth it. Thank you again, Kathie, for offering such high quality products.
A frequent customer for life,

I have spent a small fortune on products, spa treatments and doctors office procedures to keep melasma under control. I was running out of money and truly depressed with the prospect of "living with it" until I found your web site at 3:00 a.m. one night looking for a site that would sell me lactic acid at doctors strength. I was thrilled to find you out in cyber land! It means more than I can say to have control of this condition using lactic acid peels, and to be enjoying beautiful skin using smart products that really work. Your web site and great advice are lifesavers for me. I'm 45 and folks often assume I'm in my 30's. Thank you sooo much. - Diana K., Columbus, Ohio Diana, there is *no way* you are 45! Thank you for sharing your experiences with our products and customer service !!
You should consider changing the name of your Soy Rejuvenating Fluid to the "fountain of youth". This is the best product I've ever used !
Edna Bertrand FL
I'm delighted to have found your glycolic peels. My skin loves the results - and my purse loves the price!
Erica Montgomery CA
I used your TCA 18% product with good results. I applied 2 layers each treatment. I have done 3 peels at 2 week intervals. The peel does burn a bit with some redness on my medium/fair skin type. Peeling starts about 3 days later and goes for about a week. Afterwards there is a noticeable improvement in texture and color.
I have been using Copper Peptides for about 4 years
daily and your 30% Glycolic Peels monthly-my skin is
very sensitive.
I turned 50 in August and at a Christmas party more
than a couple of people thought I was under 40.
Thanks to you I hope to keep that going for years to
come.
Best regards,
Dianne-thrilled in CT
I love your French Green Clay Mask is the best mask I've ever used.

I purchased the 55% lactic peel and it is a phenomenal product for my blackhead-prone skin. Thanks so much for offering such great products to the consumer.
Holly Latka CT
Thank you for all your great products and your fast shipping! You guys understand that most people don't order makeup until they really need it!
Valerie Payne, Realtor
Just a brief note to let you know how much I'm enjoying your products.
I originally purchased the 40% lactic acid peel;
then the 30% glycolic peel. I recently purchased
the 55% lactic acid peel. Although I've had many
salon peels, this was my first adventure with
"real" at-home peels. My skin was
pretty good, but I can see an improvement in clarity.
I particularly enjoy using the Elasti-firm on my hands.
I've probably experimented with every hand creme out
there and this leaves them so soft - I just love to
feel them - wonderful. Of course, I realize that
the product was designed for skin firming of the body
- and I am using it on my neck and face - along with
the serum and eye creme. Thanks so much. I plan
to try your other products too (the soy lotion, etc.).
Nancy Henning
I just love how well your products work. The TCA is working well on scars on my chest. My son finally started using the beta hydroxy serum and super cp serum on a regular basis and now even he is seeing how much better his skin looks. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Maresa P. Arizona
YES! MUAC-Tox cream forever! I swear, I can see the results after using it for just a few days. Can you offer a larger size?

Kathleen, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I love your products, will continue to be a customer, and will definitely recommend your site to others.
God bless, Monica Texas
Kathi, I must take a moment to say thank you for your company and your companies excellent, no in fact, outstanding service. Without fail, I can trust that after I place my order, I will receive an email either the same day or the next letting me know my order has shipped. I, for one, hate waiting for slow or sloppy service. Knowing that I will never get this from you or your company, and that with every order I will get very high quality products, I will keep ordering from your company for years to come. Thank you - you are very much appreciated Anne Kemp
Kathie, your makeup brushes (Italian Badger) are FANTASTIC. I knew they would be nice, but I never expected such quality at this price. They're worth at least twice what you're charging. Thanks for an awesome value.
Cyndi Bartel Thank you Cyndi! We're getting lots of emails with great feedback on both the individual brushes and on the travel set.
Dear Kathleen:
I wanted to tell you that you were right about the TCA Peel (but of course you already knew that)! I first did my forehead and my nose and didn't have much peeling....a few days later I did the rest of my face using the 2 layer method you described. I noticed a slight burning and some "frosting" but my skin returned to normal-looking shortly thereafter. The 2nd day I noticed a very crackly appearance to my cheeks and chin and the 3rd day the peeling began! I never realized how much hyperpigmentation I had along my jawline until most of it peeled off!
I plan on doing a second peel in a couple of weeks to take care of the few remaining dark and rough areas. The botanical healing cream was very helpful and it also concealed most of the "peelies" enough so that no one noticed a thing unless I told them. If you looked close and hard you could see the peeling but to the casual observer it was not noticeable. I am very, very happy with this product! One of the best things about your products is that they ACTUALLY WORK! So many of us have spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on worthless treatments....not only do you waste your money but your self-esteem takes a beating for feeling so gullible! Yes, the TCA peel takes some planning and effort but I feel it is minor compared to the great results...any prudent person would have no trouble following your instructions and I, for one, will NEVER again pay a high-priced day spa for what I can easily do at home myself with your products.
And THANK YOU for not charging outrageous prices!
Thanks again...Joyce Garrett
Thank you so much for including samples of your other excellent products with my orders! Your products are the best!
I used your 40% lactic acid peel on my hands, which
were crepy and crinkled, and really bothered me. I
have protected my facial skin, but hands had taken a lot
of abuse and were really starting to show it. My
hands look much younger and smoother already! I just
placed an order for the 55% kit and can't wait to see if
that will help reduce the damage even further. In
addition to the improvement in my skin, a small, dark
burn scar I had on my hand is almost completely gone (in
2 weeks). Many thanks!
Lisa Sharpe
Just confirming receipt of order and wanted to thank you for gifting the large black cosmetic bag -- it was an unexpected treat! I also noted the complementary mini Green Tea Soap -- my face loves this stuff as do my hands.
I will NEVER go without your TCA peel. I did a 1 layer peel my first time with great results. I'm into the third day of my second peel (I did 2 layers this time) and can already see that my freckles are gone. My crows feet are less noticeable and I hope to completely remove them with another treatment or two. I look 5-10 years younger and am completely thrilled with this product.
Adella Durst
I just wanted to let you
know that I just received the two Italian Badger Makeup
Brushes I ordered (flat bronzer and crease brush). I
am completely blown away at the high quality of the
brushes! Thank you so much and I will definitely be
coming back for more.
Sincerely,
Sandi LeBoeuf
Thank you
Sandi! There are no finer quality brushes offered
anywhere!
I got absolutely amazing results from your 40% Lactic Acid. I'm 64 years old and my skin now looks at least ten years younger. With your products I feel like I have discovered the Fountain of Youth!! I was at an event with my daughter and one of her 40 year old girlfriends would not sit next to me because she said my skin was nicer than hers! Wow! Thank you!!
Priscilla Dunn Our lactic acid peels *are* super. So glad they're working well for you!!.
This is my second order and I love, love, love your products! Great results at a great price - what more could you ask for?
Suzy Wall Suzy is using our peeling products (TCA) , copper peptides and beta hydroxy serum. Thanks Suzy!!
Thank you for the prompt shipment for my order. I also appreciate the samples and the meticulous packaging.
Hello Kathie and staff,
I just tested the waterproof powder that I recently ordered from you and it held up really well at the gym! I have oily skin and I like to wear a light powder that will stay put. I have tried other waterproof powders that just didn't have the kind of fine texture that your does.
Thank you for nice gift bags!
By the way Kathie, I am glad you now have your picture in your web site. You really do look like a pretty, young college student!! Wishing all of you continued good health and success!
I am so happy I ordered the TCA peel. I used it as soon as it arrived last week and am just about finished peeling. I can really see an improvement in some sun damage I've been trying to treat. And my skin just looks better overall. Brighter, tighter.
Since I've only done 1 treatment, I plan to do 2 more and use a second layer of TCA the next time I've used your beta hydroxy deep peel for several years and am relieved I can now use a treatment that works better, is quick, and doesn't smell. lol!
Sabine Chula Vista, CA
Received my order today-very pleased! Thank-you very much for the samples. As usual, every time I order from you I always wish I had ordered the larger sizes! Your products are wonderful!
Sincerely, Dawn G.
I have to share that I just placed my second order for Beta Hydroxy Serum 8% and I can't say enough about it!!!!! I have the OILIEST skin known to man and am prone to cystic and minor breakouts monthly.....I have not had one cystic breakout since using this. This stuff is amazing!!!! I have tried absolutely everything from my Dermatologist and nothing has even compared. Please pass this on as I truly want to share my raves with others. Thanks so much, Sarah Paul
Received my TCA peel on Thursday morning. AWESOME product. I'm peeling today and can see beautiful "new" pink skin beneath. I plan to do 3 treatments to reduce facial lines and some adult acne problems. Thank you for the product, and thank you for saving me a bundle of money.
Leslee Philadelphia
I have recommended Velvet Veil to my clients for their mineral
makeup and 100% of them won't live without it. I'm a

with this product under their makeup. Thank you from all
of my customers and myself.

You're terrific, Kathleen. No wonder the women on the Beauty Boards have only "good things" to say about you. I don't even shop around for better prices. Nothing can beat what you make me feel--special.
Judy Great Falls, VA
I love the green tea soap-free cleansing bar! Nothing makes my face feel as smooth, and it has reduced my acne to almost nothing!
Cindi Grant, MI
Kathie:
I received my first purchase last week -- WOW!!! What a
difference!! My husband isn't a big commentator, but
whew - what a difference - he even noticed in less than a
week. The Green Tea Soap bar is fantastic. I did
my first peel this evening - WHOA!! Great rewards.
Just placed another order today and can't wait to receive my
products. That Velvet Veil is the next best thing to ice
cream [neopalitain if you don't mind - real, real creamy, like
a Schwan ice-cream product -- only better) but not one bit
OILY!!! I've spent so much money on other products -- I
will never be able to live without Velvet Veil the rest of my
life!! I'm turning my mother, my sister, my nieces, my
grand-daughter-in-laws, my friends and everyone I can think
of. Your samples are so very inexpensive and ample
enough to know if they work! In my career/as a
nurse/paralegal specializing in birth trauma injuries - I
travel soooo much for looooong periods of time. Everything just fits right in the suitcase.
I will be a long-time customer.
Thank You. . . . Alicia
This is the first time I've ever been impressed enough with a company and its products to take the time to write a testimonial. I've had acne for years and as a result I have terrible dark scars. I went to a plastic surgeon to find out about dermabrasion and he told me he'd do it for $1,500 which I didn't think was too much until he said the result could be as little as a 20% improvement. I'd also have to clear up my acne first. He prescribed two antibiotics that I had to take for one month and retin a micro gel. He also recommended a glycolic acid peel every month at $80 a peel. I was floored, $80 a month is more than my electric bill, there was no way I could afford it.
The antibiotics and retin a did clear up my skin but at a price. The antibiotics made me nauseated and the retin a ($100 a tube) really dried out my skin, which I guess is the point, but I was trading pimples for dry flaky skin. Then I found your website and the glycolic acid. I debated over buying it for months. I'm a die hard do it yourselfer but thought a peel might be taking it to the extreme. I have really sensitive skin, (I can't even use benzoyl peroxide) then I figured why not. If a 20% peel was going do any damage then so was the dermabrasion (if you're not familiar it's basically sanding your skin smooth with a surgical dremel tool). I ordered the 70% doctor strength glycolic acid, since I could dilute it as much as I wanted, the copper peptide serum, and Youngblood samples. OMG what a difference!
I started with the 20% and now do 35% to 50% peel once a week followed with cp serum . I almost cried when my mom complimented me on my make up and I wasn't wearing any. This really works, it has totally changed my skin.
It's now very rare that I break out (once a month due to hormones). When I do it's nothing like before, maybe one or two tiny dots that last as long as it takes to put on the copper serum or until my next peel, compared to the huge cysts that would last forever and then leave a dark mark that never went away.
Typing this I'm getting emotional, it's been so long since
I've had that kind of breakout I don't even like to think
about it, anyway it's gone : > ). As for the
dark scars they've lightened considerably, so much so that I
have chosen not to go through with the dermabrasion. I'm not saying everyone will have the same
results, or that my skin is flawless, but the peel/copper
combo has greatly improved my quality of life.
It's funny because when I told my mom that I was going to
order the scary-sounding doctor strength peel she was nervous
about the outcome. I think she was thinking I'd end up
looking like Freddy Kruger (honestly so did I) but after
seeing my results she makes (and I mean makes) me give her a
peel once-a-week followed by the copper serum. I've been
doing it for a couple of months and her sun spots have
lightened and her overall skin quality is better (she used to tan and she still
smokes). My sister and husband who both have oily skin,
love the peels. I give them one biweekly to help control
acne. We're all hooked.
I forgot to mention how much I love the mineral make up and
Fast Lash. It
really gives you a glow and offers great coverage without
looking cakey. The Fast Lash is really neat. It's
totally different than I expected. I used it today
thinking it would be like a regular primer type mascara that
they sell in stores now or like the powder over mascara
trick, but it's way better, it's really like wearing
false eyelashes (I could never figure out false
eyelashes) .My sister was with me when it arrived and
she used my old 2 step mascara and I used the Fast Lash and
there was a huge difference. My lashes were way longer
and fuller, even though hers are naturally thicker and
longer. I have a feeling I'm going to have to order more
for my mom and sister.
I know this is long but I'm so thrilled to find products
that actually work and a company that really seems to
care. I couldn't believe all of the extras, great
packaging, bonus gifts, fast delivery, low prices, you've
saved me a ton of money. I'm so grateful for MUAC.
Thank you so much.

Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for your fast reply as always! Your products
are so truly effective, who would need to go to beauty salon
anymore? Your peels and soy fluid have made my skin look
like the way it was at 21 (I am 30 now). And I have only
used them for a short period of time. Never thought any
skincare you use at home can make
such a difference.
Thanks for the generous samples too, I can't wait to try the
Hyaluronic and beta hydroxy serum tonight.
Thanks!
Josephine
Thanks so much for delivering my order so quickly. I
placed my order Saturday afternoon and had it by Wednesday
morning!
I ordered the 40% Lactic Acid peel and am just thrilled with
it. I had done Glycolic peels in the past but they
caused my acne prone skin to break out terribly. This
product is a dream. Also many thanks for the extra
sample of Green Tea Soap Free Cleansing Bar !!

Kathleen,
I did a 40% glycolic peel last night from my original sample and I have to say that my skin looks great- healthy, vibrant, smooth with no make-up required except concealer under my eyes. No more paying the dermatologist $250 for 5 peels. I get the same effect from your product and I can do it at home with no driving required. Since I am in California gasoline is precious at $2.49/gallon and I do not drive unless required.
As a skin cancer patient, originally diagnosed in my late 20's with all known risk factors, peels are a part of keeping skin cancer at bay due to the rapid cell turnover. My dermatologist is extremely happy with how I treat my face now and peels are part of my regimen. Due to my skin cancer history I wear a minimum of SPF 30 on my face which is a product I continually hunt for and sample.
I can't wait to get my order and thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Marla
I just had to write and let you know
what an absolute pleasure it is to do business with your company. I have been your customer for at
least a year now and continue to be impressed by the super-fast shipping,
the care taken in preparing each product for the customer, the cute packaging
(always such a nice touch!), the incredible prices, unique selection, and
fabulous samples I receive.
I have purchased several glycolic acid peels, stepping up in
levels from 40% to 65% (and having had chemical peels at my dermatologist's
office, I can say that your prices and service make it *so* much more
affordable and convenient to get beautiful skin after battles with acne).
I love the soap-free cleanser bar samples I received, and
after trying the sample of Velvet Veil provided in my most recent order, I just
ordered a full size--I must have it!!! That stuff is great! My makeup
goes on so much easier and stays on! I'm so happy to have gotten the
sample to "discover" this stuff...and I've also ordered Fast Lash, which I am dying
to try!
I appreciate such fantastic customer service and will be a
loyal customer forever! Thanks so much! You guys are the best!!
Kathryn S.
I got a sample of the velvet veil a while back, and it is the most amazing product I have ever used. I had to buy a full sized bottle (the sample lasted forever, so I should be set for a long time now!) I will definitely order again!
Alicia
Thanks Kathleen!!
My skin is truly showing improvement with the use of the
lactic acid peel, the pores are gradually becoming unblocked & less noticeable.
Best wishes

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how pleased I have been with your products and service! I love the packaging and promptness from which I received my order!! Thank YOU!

I've lost track of the number of items I've purchased from your site the past couple of years, due to the fact that I just LOVE your website.
Your SuperMatte Antishine is FANTASTIC in combating the southern Florida summer "shine."

Hey, how are you? Today was a beautiful day! It was like all the peeling started at one time! I love it!

How refreshing it is to see an online company that offers amazing products, terrific prices, and also truly cares about its customers. My orders arrived in just a couple days with little notes and samples as well as beautifully packaged, which would make any women feel special. Thank you for giving my online purchases a human touch. It's that type of customer service that reflects a good team that works well together. Since I started using your lactic acid peels just before the New Year started, I can start to see the benefits. I'm also using your Soy Fluid and your DMAE Ester C moisturizer. I also appreciate being able to purchase your products in a sample size. It makes the whole idea of trying new products more approachable. I'll be a customer forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Best regards.
Laura
Hello,
Just received my order of Velvet Veil and I want to thank you for the free gift of the Shea Butter Cleansing bar!!
Things have been a little crappy of late and, along with that cute little shopping bag, it really made my day. You've made a loyal customer out of me, so please put me on your mailing list.
All the Best!

I just received my package today. I ordered the 40% Lactic Acid Peel. Upon opening the package and reading the directions I I realized I didn't have a cleanser at home that didn't contain SLS. I thought I would have to go out and buy one! However, much to my surprise...upon further inspection of my *beautifully* packaged merchandise...I found a nicely sized sample of your soap-free Green Tea Cleansing Bar!
Thank you soo much for your thoughtfulness! It is greatly appreciated! I know I'll be ordering from you again in the near future.
SHAKIA
Thank you very much for your HIGH QUALITY product line. No more spending money on things that just don't work........
Norma
I read the testimonials and thought that this might be what I'm looking for! I immediately bought the soy fluid , 40% lactic acid peel and the firming eye serum.
As a soon to be 40, mother of 2, I felt the need to slow down the aging thing. As a major sun lover I've done a number on my skin and have vowed to repair the damage before the big 40!
I can't believe how quickly my skin has changed for the better. I'M HOOKED!
Thanks for the great products; my mom and aunt are amazed and they are buying a bunch of products as I write! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the order I received from you last week. In this day and age, it is a REAL treat to receive such quick and NICE service. The products were so beautifully presented in a gift bag. Also, I had asked a question about a certain product and was surprised AND happy to receive a free sample of this product. Thank you for your care. You have a new loyal customer!
Beth

Hi, I ordered some Soy Rejuvenating Fluid today. I tried the sample you sent for the last three days and loved the way it made my skin feel. Every product I have ever tried from you'all has been great. That is saying a lot since I have tried a lot of your products: the Frownies, the fast lash, copper peptide, blotting papers, velvet veil, royal jelly moisturizer, tea tree oil, supermatte antishine, the tools powder, vitamin e stick. I really, really appreciate the sample sizes although I have ended up ordering a full size of every sample I have tried. I have had terrible skin my whole life and I have used lots of products that cost a whole lot more, required a lot more work to use, and weren't half as effective. Five years ago I moved to the Northeast, to a land with harsh winters and a lot of folks with aged, weather beaten skin. I was lucky to find your website. My skin looks great and I don't have to go to the dermatologist's office for my products/treatments any longer! Every time I get a new box from you, it is always right, comes quickly and is attractively packaged. I order a lot of stuff off the net and your website ordering process is the best too. All together http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/ has the best products and service. Susan |
Dear people at Makeup Artist's Choice,
I had to write and let you know that I used to get chemical peels from a doctor's office and stopped because of the expense. I then began, after 2 years of non-use, to use your peeling products, I am now beginning 60% peels.
In the past 3 weeks I have received countless compliments on my skin, and also have heard people say I look too young to have a 23 year old daughter, let alone a 27 year old son. I am approaching 50 years old, and have to say I really feel good about being 50.
My skin looks and feels great and when I apply makeup, which is rare, I am secretly thrilled at how I look. Thank you and continue your wonderful work. I especially like the fact I can control the strengths I need, because I know my skin better than my doctor did.
Thank you, thank you,
Deborah
I read about your 55% Lactic Acid peel on an acne board. Ordered it. Used it twice so far. It ROCKS.
Thanks, Jack
May God richly bless you and yours in the coming year,
Wow! I am completely bowled-over by the Soy Fluid! I've been using it before using the DMAE cream nightly and it has dramatically increased the positive results I'm seeing. My skin looks so much younger than before. No one would ever believe I'm 58 years old. Thanks for saving me money on a face lift. I can wait another 5 years before even thinking about it.
Gratefully, Joyce
I just saw your picture on the web site...you are your best advertisement!! Thank you so much for your wonderful website.
Betty
I have been getting rave comments which is totally amazing for a mother of three (2 in college, one in 8th grade), 49 years old, sun-damaged from tanning my whole life until the last couple of years. I have been using your Youngblood make-up and make-up kit in warm tones for about two weeks. Every time I go anywhere, especially at night, several people will make comments about how glamorous I look, how wonderful I look, etc. This has never happened and I am not doing anything "out there." Just simple neutral colors and voila! It does a girl good, ya know?
Amanda
I appreciate the professional way that you handle business...I will certainly be back. Christine
I'm overjoyed with the DMAE Facial Cream I recently purchased. Within a week, I've noticed an improvement on the crow's feet around my eyes, smooth skin on my neck which previously had a crinkled look to it, and my hands which were very dry and aged. The DMAE Cream is reversing these problems very quickly and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for offering your marvelous products at such reasonable prices. I'm thrilled with my purchase (also love your packaging). I've recommended your website to several of my friends.
Thanking you sincerely, Gloria We're so happy the DMAE products are working well for you, Gloria!
Kathie, thanks for such a prompt order, which is nothing unusual for you.......just business as usual but I really appreciate it. You are a wonderful business woman!! I love the pretty bags you send. I use them for jewelry when I travel! You're the best, Vicki in Missouri
I have been using your 40% glycolic acid pH 2.8 peel for 2 months now and my skin has never looked or felt better. My blackheads are disappearing... my fine lines are gone. I haven't had a single breakout since using this the first time. My skin is firm, soft, smooth and even toned. I cannot thank you enough. I look forward to trying your 65% solution next time.
Kim
I love you guys. You are the best! Thank you so much for the Velvet Veil sample. I just have to have it. It's amazing. I love how fast you ship the items, Your customer service is the best I've ever seen. I love all the products you carry. You guys are just simply the very best cosmetic experts in the world.
"I'm wearing Velvet Veil Foundation Primer. My skin care includes the 30% Glycolic Acid Peel and Copper Peptide Serum."
Emma Thanks for sharing a photo from your hubby's special day!
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the excellent service that I have received every time I have placed an order at your website. Without fail, I can depend on receiving it one week or less after placing my order. The orders are always carefully wrapped with a beautiful presentation; your little "thank you's" are also greatly appreciated as it gives me the opportunity to try items that I might not otherwise purchase. Thank you again - I plan on being a frequent customer at Makeup Artist's Choice.
Sincerely,
Laurie
I was getting a haircut a few weeks ago and since it was the day after I'd done a peel. I was a little red (fully coated with SPF 30, though) and mentioned to the stylist that I'd just had a chemical peel. She looked at my skin and mentioned more than once that whoever was doing them did a really great job! Isn't that great? I actually didn't tell her I did them myself - what a great compliment to your products! Seriously, I don't know what I would do without this peel - it's absolutely perfect. Viola (Viola is using our doctor strength peeling kit....thank you Viola!)
Hi!!
I received my order today. I have to compliment you highly on a number of things...the promptness in your email replies, your professional and fast manner, the packaging is neat and nice, AND..........................the product is a kick.
Jean (Jean is using our Fast Lash product.)
Hi Kathie,
I just had to write and say "WOW" and thank you and the company. My sister has ordered from you and I was there getting my hair done and she said "Hey want a chemical peel?" I was like 'sure why not" OMIGOODNESS, right afterwards I could tell how soft my skin was and the day following my make up went on so smooth. I just LOVE it! I was feeling a lil bit sad for myself because I'll be in my forties soon... but no more sadness here, my skin looks so good after 1 peel I can't wait to see how it all clears up after a few more... OH she also let me try her Fast Lash... OMG! I came home and ordered two tubes... they arrived in 3 days.. I was shocked the shipping was so fast..just AWESOME! The products are just wonderful, I have already told a couple of friends about The company... I'm so thankful my sister found ya'll and she shared it with me!! Thanks for being here for ladies like me!
Cecilia
I'm using your 50% glycolic acid peel and it's WONDERFUL! I've tried several at this strength from other sites and all were priced much higher than yours, but were less effective. And I feel more comfortable purchasing from your company knowing that you have licensed professionals on your staff. Also thanks for the samples and beautiful packaging. I love the bags you use to put the products in. I'm saving them for gift-giving.
Peg
I wanted to write to praise your 40% pH 2.4 glycolic peel. I'm 46 years old and have skin that is beginning to show signs of aging due to too much sun exposure. I've used the 40% glycolic for 4 weeks now and my skin glows!! The crepe-paper look on my neck is finally beginning to disappear, and my facial pores are definitely much smaller. Overall, I feel I've taken at least 5 years off my age in the last month. Thank you, thank!! Also, I'm glad to see you're offering the Royal Chiffon cream in smaller sizes. I'm on a budget, so having the opportunity to purchase in economical sizes makes it much easier for me. Love the Green Tea Cleanser bar you included in my last order. I'm ordering it tonight! Your prices are great and so are the products!!
Tamelin
I ordered your 30% Glycolic Acid Peel and Copper Peptide a little over a month ago and the results have been phenomenal. I don't usually take the time out to leave feedback but I felt it was more than warranted in this case.
Each week before I use your product, I steam my face to open the pores and I use a blackhead/whitehead extractor. Then I use your Glycolic Acid Peel followed by the Copper Peptide and a moisturizer.
I am an African American woman and I had some acne scars on my right cheek with constant breakouts. After about 5 weekly applications, it is not noticeable!!!!
Also, my skin is even, looks absolutely radiant
and beautiful. When I glide my hand over my face I don't feel any bumps
just sheer smoothness. Even after the first application my face was sooooo
smooth and tighter. Your product ROCKS and I will definitely be ordering
more pH prep soon and trying some of your other products. I highly
recommend these products without reservation!!!!
A Happy Customer in Sunny South Florida,
Jackie
I just wanted to let you know ... I LOVE THIS PRODUCT... the Mineral Mist. It is marvelous!!! I am an avid user of a mineral makeup and I was having trouble (due to needing to take a huge amount of medication that is necessary, but terrible on my skin) with it fading away after a few hours ...
Someone recommended your site for Velvet Veil, which I ordered and am very impressed as it works extremely well.
While I was here, I read about your Mineral Mist and thought that it might work well in conjunction with Velvet Veil. I purchased it too, and I am delighted with the combination, the Mineral Mist is so refreshing to use. I am very pleased with my order and will definitely be purchasing from you again. Two great products!!! Susan
I wanted to let you know that your products are great and
your service is top-notch! It's empowering to know that I can take responsibility
for my appearance with affordable, quality
products. Thanks a million!
Debbra
I'm back for more! I'll email you regarding my
progress with the 50% glycolic. Thanks again for the wonderful support and
customer service. You define what excellence is and that is hard to come
by even in today's economy. Thanks again!
Erin
I just wanted to say thank you for shipping out my order so fast. Very rarely do you get such fast and friendly service.
Thanks! A loyal customer,
Rhonda
Thank you so much. I do alot of ordering online and you by far have one of the best customer support team. Thanks again! I will definitely be ordering from you again.
Rose
I ordered Fast Lash last week. I received my order and just wanted to say thank-you for such quick service. I really appreciate it and I'll let people know how easy you are to work with.
Thank you!
Tracy
Hi Kathie, I had to write and let you know how much I like the lactic acid peel. I had previously used your 30% glycolic peel, but as I've gotten older, my skin has become more sensitive and I can't tolerate glycolics at all anymore. I'm so glad I found the lactic acid, because it leaves my skin so soft and smooth, without any irritation. I've also been loving my royal chiffon cream and will be ordering the full size. My skin tends to be oily and acne-prone along with the sensitivity, plus with this harsh winter I've had a lot of eczema and flakes, but this moisturizer has really balanced out my skin.
Thanks again for your wonderful customer service and for
providing such amazing products that deliver what you promise.
Cindy
Hi Kathie,
I'm really excited and I wanted to let you know!!!!!!!!!!
I used the Doctor Strength glycolic peel kit at the 35% strength recipe on
Friday and my skin absolutely glows, my makeup went on flawlessly today, and it
completely cleared up some whiteheads that I had. I will continue them,
because I want to clear up all the blackheads on and around my nose.
Ora H.
Hi Kathie: I LOVE the Doctor Strength glycolic peel kit i received from you last week...your company is numero uno with me!
Thank you for the very best cosmetic/skin care on the web.
Dede J.
Hello Kathie,
Thanks so much, Frankie (Frankie just reordered more doctor strength glycolic acid. Remember that we have a reorder-link for those of you who already have signed waivers on file with us.)
Kathie,
The Doctor Strength Glycolic peel ROCKS! I had been going to the dermatologist' office for stronger glycolic peels and your product feels exactly the same! This will definitely save me big bucks.
Susie G.
Just wanted to let you know that I have given myself the Doctor Strength Glycolic peel two times at low strengths and my skin is beautiful!
Debbra R.
My dermatologist was the one who told me about your website and your Doctor Strength Glycolic Kit. I promised I would not tell---he did not want to be run out of business!
MC
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 40% Lactic Acid!
Sylvia S.
Hi Kathie, I just received my (1st time) purchase and I had to tell you....I haven't even had a chance to try everything, however, the Fast Lash ROCKS!!!!!! Pardon my unprofessionalism, but it is the best product in the world!!!!!!!!!!! I never got the hang of falsey's, and even if I did....it would be just my luck that one would fall off! This is sooo much easier and the results are beautiful. I have always dreaded putting mascara on, because I always take a long time- I have to curl them first, and then apply several coats to my pitiful lashes. (of course my son has lashes to die for!) It would be so bad if the final result was worth it, but they are still so wimpy when I'm done....But now, I can have big beautiful Diva lashes, in an instant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also want to tell you about the 40% lactic acid. I have used it 4 times now and I can feel a big difference as of the 4th use!!! It's wonderful...I can't imagine what's to come!!!
Thanks so much!
Gena B.
I just had to write to let you know how totally pleased I have been with my products. The 30% Glycolic peel and the Velvet Veil. WOW! My skin has never looked so great, and the feel is wonderful!
I have tried the over the counter cosmetics and the high end (and pricey) lines, and have never been as satisfied with my outcomes or appearance as I have until now. Thank you from a very young looking 46 year old! I love all the compliments I have received! Here comes another order!!
Deborah D.
I received my order last night and I just want to say *wow*!
I used the SuperMatte Antishine and let me tell you it works! I was extremely skeptical, because I have tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING to get that shine down. (Even re-powdering until I looked pasty.) It seemed to stop the shine and oil in its tracks and the foundation I used over it looked so natural and it never moved. Usually I have breakthru within the hour.
My husband kept telling me how great I looked. I am
so very pleased!!!!!! With my black OILY skin it is *SO difficult to find
products that actually deliver....thank you, thank you for a superior product!!!
Lynn B.
Things I love about your company: prompt response to
questions, detailed instructions, free samples and fast order processing. Why bother looking anywhere else? Keep up the good work.
Crystal M.
I just received my Loose Mineral Foundation, Rice Powder and Blush. My skin looks flawless! I used the Super Matte Antishine as a base on my oilier areas and 8 hours later, my skin has still retained that flawless, matte look!
To top it off I used Fast Lash and even though it took me
less than five minutes to apply just the above products, I look like I just
received a makeover. What's more, I am not the only one who has noticed!
Thank you so much!
Tina B.
I think your company is so amazing and the customer service is outstanding. I truly appreciate your thoroughness and absolutely love everything I have received from you.
Kelly P.
Hello! I just wanted to write and tell you how pleased I have been with your service and products. I really appreciate the order and shipping confirmation e-mails and the great samples that come with my orders!
And, the SuperMatte Anti-Shine is amazing! It
is the most effective product I've found for keeping my oily skin under
control, which, believe me, is very hard to do, especially in the summertime!
Thanks again and keep up the great work! :-)
Amy J
Kathie: I have VERY oily skin. I live in Arizona (Phoenix) and have just spent the month of July in South Alabama and the Florida panhandle. I have road tested your professional blotting papers in hot, dry climate and hot, humid climate. Let me tell you they are fabulous!! Like nothing I've ever used. Most blotting papers have that little bit of powder on them that does nothing but cake the oil into place. Your papers really absorb the oil. Simply amazing!!! Between the blotting papers and the SuperMatte Antishine I don't feel like a walking oil slick. While I'm giving a testimonial. . . the Antishine is probably the best product on the market for oily skinned people. It is wonderful!!! Thank you so much for the products you bring to the consumer and for your terrific customer service. Thanks also for the CP eye serum sample. Terrific stuff, going now to the order page and order some!!
Thanks again, Cindy S
Loving my last order. I swear my large pores look better using the Velvet Veil.
Thanks, Darlene
And the visible pores around my nose have all but vanished from sight thanks to the weekly peels :) I've actually been using the copper based products for a while now, and the two in combination are amazing. I'll spread the word about you're site!
Thank you for shipping the Lactic Acid peel so quickly. I'm very happy with this product! I've never been able to use acid peels before due to reactive skin. But the product description on your site was intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. I've had no problems whatsoever and my skin definitely looks much better. It feels refreshed, smooth and looks as if it has a more refined texture after only 3 treatments. I will definitely be ordering the larger size next time.
Thanks, Olivia B.
Hi,
I just wanted you to know that I
love the Fast
Lash. It is like nothing I have ever used before. My lashes are
very fine and
thin, just like my hair, and I can't tell you how full and long they look
now. When
I think of all the money and time I have wasted on other mascaras I could
just cry. Again thank you and I will be ordering again soon.
Linda W.
WOW! The Fast Lash is absolutely amazing. It’s
ingenious! I can’t believe how great my eyelashes look. And thanks
for the sample of the CP night eyes; I’ll definitely order it soon, along with
more new items. What a fantastic website. Thank you so much!!!
Debbie in Indiana
Kathie,
Thank you for offering the Lactic Acid product. I'm 49 and getting terrific results with no irritation. My skin looks very soft, moist and my sun spots are fading after only 1 week.
Sincerely, Diane E.
Hi Kathie - I purchased the Lactic Acid to use on my legs...they have sun spots on them. So, just a note... my legs (calves) look BETTER today! I mean I could put on shorts today and feel GOOD!
Deb
Hi Kathie,
I just want to tell you that I am very delighted with the CP serum I just
ordered. I have tried a lot of different products over the years and I am
not very easily impressed. I have combination oily skin and it seems to be
balancing that condition beautifully. Together with the glycolic acid, I
am
seeing a radiance that I wasn't getting before. Needless to say, I am very
happy to have found your website:-)
Best Wishes-
Susan
Hi,
I am pleased to say that yesterday I received my sample size of the 30% glycolic
peel. Used it last night and am already THRILLED with the results.
Regards,
Wendy R.
Sample sizes are, without doubt, a perfect way to try out
products for the first time. Thanks for having the size options (30%
glycolic) and for
providing these products in the first place.
Allyn N.
Hello, I received my package today containing the sample pack of the 30% Glycolic Exfoliator. I'm doing at patch test now and can't wait to try it out on my face.
I love that you sell sample sizes. It makes it
easier, especially
since you're online.
Thank you for the sample gifts, also. I look forward to trying out
more products on your website and joining the many happy customers that use your
service and products
Thanks again,
Christine G.
Thank you for always getting my makeup to me so fast. I always wait until I'm almost "out" because I am on a budget.
Linda R.
I can't believe how fast my order arrived! It was here after a couple of days from placing my order. After one treatment with the 30% Glycolic Peel, I immediately noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. I can't remember the last time my face felt so smooth and clean. And using the CP Serum every night is maintaining the smoothness of my skin. I didn't have any problems with sensitivity or redness. My face now has a healthy glow!
When I emailed a question about the type of moisturizer to use for my skin type, I not only got an immediate response, but I also received a free sample with my order. I'm very impressed with your customer service and you'll definitely be receiving future orders from me Thank-You, Denise F.
I am so happy with my last order!
I love the Glycolic Home Peel Kit and Copper Peptide. My skin is unbelievably smooth. I have used many products, TCA peels, Beta Lifts, microdermabrasions, Obagi Blue Peels, etc. This is convenient, works incredibly and I have had no break outs with the Copper Peptide.
My friends are dying to try the products, so I am ordering for them. My skin looks so good, people ask what I am doing.
Thank you for your "stellar" customer service
& recommendations. Best wishes!
Lisa V.G.
I got the most wonderful complement this morning from a co-worker who is at least 10 years younger than myself. She thought my skin looked wonderful. It's actually my makeup. I've been using your mineral makeup for about a month now and my skin looks very natural. I'm over 55 and was so tired of liquid makeup that settled into my fine lines. Now I just do a light dusting of foundation and I'm out the door.
Caroline P.
Dear Kathie,
Thank you for the outstanding service--I received my order
on Monday after ordering Friday pm! I wish I had read your testimonials
before ordering, because
I would particularly like to try the copper peptide serum and royal jelly
moisturizer.
Thanks for replying and also for the fabulous service on my first order. I
was delighted to
see the 30% glycolic peel kit as I had in the past had this treatment at a
plastic surgeon's office, and loved the result, but found it cost prohibitive to
continue.
Liz H.
I just want to really thank you for your 30% Glycolic product. I have used it twice now and can see a big difference. Skin looks so more radiant. I also have monthly light TCA peels done in a plastic surgeons office which costs $115. I don't know if this just adds to it or what but I absolutely loved it.
I think it's great that you offered the trial size as I
don't think I would have spent all that money on a bigger size without knowing
what it is like first. So thanks again and I have been telling everyone
about your product.
Thanks,
Cheryl C.
Your colored powders are fabulous! You've converted me from LeClerc! Thanks for offering these high-end powders at such great prices. The texture is wonderful and adds a beautiful glow to my skin.
Debi A.
Terrific stuff - I used the 30% glycolic acid peel 5 times (I have enough left in the sample for at least one more application) and my skin is getting more gorgeous every day! My problem was enlarged pores and uneven skin tone (freckles). Now, I'm smoother and more evenly toned. I even had a wonderful compliment from a neighbor who has perfect, air-brushed magazine-page skin. And I had NO MAKEUP on! I recommend this product to anyone interested in salon skin care!
Bridget M.
Greetings, My SuperMatte Antishine arrived last night and I'm wearing the product today. It's wonderful.
Johnetta McCullough
Kathie, I just have to tell you what a difference the 30% peel and copper peptide serum have done for my face!! Wow! Even my husband noticed :-) Some of the discoloration spots have faded and my overall complexion is smooth and glowing! It's not very often that in trying new products ALL your expectations are met but in this case I would say my expectations were even exceeded. Thank you for these wonderful products and please..........never go out of business!!!! You have a customer for life here! Vicki T. Columbia, MO
I just want to thank you so much! I can't believe I found you. I bought the Fast Lash and Fast Lash Mascara and just received it a couple of days ago. I knew for sure it wasn't going to work....WRONG!! I wore it over to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving and everyone couldn't believe it. They said my eyes look so beautiful. I am so happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Valerie D.
Yucaipa, CA
Gosh that was fast! I'd really like to thank you for the great products and service - I love everything I've gotten from you, especially the 30% peel, which is incredible - honestly, I don't know where my recovering-from-acne skin would be without it! Just did one tonight, followed by my copper peptide sample. Mary C. Powhatan, VA
Dear Kathie,
Sorry I've not thank you before, but my grandbaby keeps me sooooo busy. I received my glycolic acid peel and couldn't want to get started. To date, my skin is looking better than it has since I was in my 20's. I love the way it looks and makes me feel! Even when a person is a grandma she wants to look her best!
Carol H.
Kathie-- Well....for the first time in my adult life I can say I have clear skin! :) The 30% peel is great! I also took your advice and switched to Aveeno bar for combo skin and tea tree oil for the occasional blemish. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
May I add that it is refreshing to see someone out there who still actually responds personally to e-mails. I don't know how you do it! You must be chained to your computer every day! I can't be the only crazy who e-mails you 100 times a day :)
Thanks again -- if I ever get the privilege of meeting you in person, I'm going to give you a big weepy hug. :-) Wendy
Kathie,
I received my products on Friday and I have to tell you I just love them. I used the 30% glycolic peel on Friday evening. I really didn't worry about a patch test since I had peels at the plastic surgeon's office. It was great. I had just a little tingling when I first applied it. I probably left it on just under 10 minutes to be safe. I have to tell you I had almost identical results to the $85 peels I was getting at the plastic surgeon's office.
Thanks for all your advice and assistance. It's great to order from a company that has such great customer support.
Lu Ann
Dear Kathie,
After my first peel with the 30% glycolic kit in January my husband said, the next day, WOW....your skin never looked this good when "she" did your peel. However, I am my own worst critic as I am self-conscious of scarring left by years of suffering with acne. I started noticing a big change after about a month.....glowing, smoother, more even, less breakouts. I love it, especially with all the money I am saving by doing this at home.
WHERE WERE YOU TWENTY YEARS AGO? COPPER PEPTIDE is the one and only product that works on my breakouts. Breakout on Monday....gone on Tuesday, and that's the truth. I've only been using this product since March 6th (2001). I am so happy, plus I am not getting any new breakouts or red marks.
Thank you so much!
Thrilled in CT, Dianne
Dear Kathie,
I did my weekly 30% peel on Friday and afterward applied the Copper Peptides. I've got to say, my skin is looking the best that it has since I went on (another skin care line we won't mention). This is the best skin I've had in almost a year.
Again, thanks for offering such great products and customer service. For the last six months or so every morning I arose in fear of what I would find on my face. Not anymore. Thanks for the great customer service.
Jen
OMG!! Kathie, you should see my face. It looks fabulous! I swear it is clear and even toned and brightened. Have only been using the copper peptide serum since Friday night. Monday I did the 30% glycolic acid peel and then used the serum. It is Da Bomb!!!! Love it, Love it, Love it!!! Thanks so much. This is a keeper!!!!!
Kris
Dear Kathie,
I received the 30% glycolic peel. I was anxious to try the peel and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't sting at all! I have very sensitive skin and other peels I have tried burned so much that I could barely leave them on my skin for a minute. Other than a slight tingle when I first applied your peel, I couldn't even tell that I had anything on my skin. No redness afterwards, either! My skin was noticeably improved after only one application. It felt so much smoother and my blackheads were actually less noticeable. Thanks to your clear and thorough directions on using the peel, I didn't have any problems.
I can't thank you enough for such wonderful products and your fast response to my order and request for samples.
Sincerely,
Cindy Olson
Kathie,
Just wanted to write back and say I love your products! I am truly amazed by your company and the customer service. A lot of companies claim to have good customer service and they don't. You don't "claim" to, but the service is wonderful. Just wanted to say thanks for the professional manner in which your company runs and all the personal attention (a girl could used to this!). Have a great day.
Jennifer U.
Heaven is......."Not going to the salon and paying $50.00 every Saturday to have this done." Thanks for the 30% Glycolic Acid Kit.
Andrea
Hi there,
I just wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying everything I ordered. The SuperMatte
Antishine is fabulous. My order was here
before I knew it.
I'll be ordering again. No doubt.
Thanks,
Lynn Davis
Hi Kathie,
I am writing to let you know how much I love your 30% Glycolic Acid Peel. I received it about a month ago, and at first, I didn't seem to notice any change in my skin.
This past week, though, I noticed a bit of change in my face. It seemed to happen overnight. It is so much clearer, the brown spots lighter and almost looks flawless. I am thrilled because I barely have to use any foundation now.
I am in my late 50s, but I can tell you my face looks great. I can't wait to see the results of using your product even longer then I have.
Thank you for making this product available to us.
Nancy
Kathie,
I just wanted to tell you that I love the 30% Glycolic peel. I have used it twice
and my skin is much smoother. Thanks again for such great service and products.
Michelle W.
Oh My God! I am so excited. I have been looking for Fast Lash for 4 months. The only place I could get it was in New York City. That's not good when I live in Detroit. Thank you so much for this. I got it today!
I want to try the peels next.
Thanks again,
Tammie
Hi Kathie,
I got my order and I must tell you that I LOVE the powders.
Betty
Dear Kathie,
I received my mineral makeup samples. That was so quick - thank you! What a wonderful business you have. I've only tried the products on my hand, but they look fabulous - create such a nice glow. Kathleen W.
Thank you for your awesome customer service!

Hi Kathie,
I just wanted to let you know that I received my order, and I am very pleased with the items I got.
The concealers work really well, and I'm sure I will be ordering some of the Dermacolor later on.
Thanks for all your help! I am so pleased to have found your site! Here's to more orders and great service!! Thanks again!

Dear Kathie,
I received my order a few days ago and cannot begin to express how pleased I am with your products.
Thank you, Barbara D.
Dear Kathie,
Thank you for such fine service. I will continue to shop your site in the future. Your kind of customer service is very much appreciated.

Hi Kathie -
The Antishine did wonders! I've come to realize my face is not as oily as it once was but its still shiny. Clean, mostly clear, but shiny. The Antishine is amazing! I find I can use it alone and not bother with any makeup but blusher many days. And it takes such a tiny amount - wonderful
stuff.
Thanks again for your advice and great service.

Hello Kathie:I received my order and am extremely pleased with everything. My package arrived within two days and everything was beautifully wrapped. I will certainly be trying more of your products soon. I loved them all!!! (and she has....I think Deb has just about everything we offer on the site! Thanks Deb!)
Best Regards,

Dear Kathie,
I am thrilled with the paramedical makeup I purchased. The color was perfect! This makeup really saved me.....I have some scarring and stretch marks on my legs from pregnancy, and other things. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to swim in public or wear shorts but now I look forward to this summer.
I look forward to buying from you many times in the future.
Thanks much,
Betsy
Hi Kathie!
Well, I have just had a look at the products and have to say I am absolutely delighted!!
I have been using makeup for almost 30 years and these are easily the best products I have had the pleasure of using! Over the last couple of years I have been purchasing YSL and Chanel and have been happy with the results. Your products, however, beat them hands down!! They are easy to use, the finish is excellent and I don't think I've ever managed quite as natural a look as I have achieved with my first use (it usually takes a little time to accustom to a new brand too!).
I have an 18th birthday present to purchase later in the year and will probably buy the professional makeup kit for the young lady. Rest assured I will be promoting your website, products and service!
Congratulations, keep up the great work and thanks again for customer service that rivals none!!
Warm regards and best wishes,

Dear Kathie,
Thank you for the samples. How nice of you! The testimonials were absolutely correct when they said how you take personal interest in meeting your client's needs. I certainly appreciate that!Thank you for the personal phone call to get the right color of the makeup I need.

Well, I've used the chemical peel for the second time today....... My skin shows when I'm stressed, breakouts at 40!! I have "pitting' around the chin, jaw line and cheek bones. Some of the scars are quite deep. After just two applications my skin texture has improved remarkably. Wouldn't have believed it possible actually! Two of the deeper scars 'appear' somewhat less impressive. Being extremely fair with a natural pink hue in my face I was a little concerned the peel would emphasize the coloring. Not at all! Also the 'tingling' (not unpleasant ...stimulating is probably a more appropriate description) was less pronounced today. So far, so good. A few weeks will no doubt see radical improvements!! I will keep you posted. Hoping you have another fabulous day. Sincere thanks for your assistance and warm regards.

I love, love, love the CHEMICAL PEEL!!!
I did my first peel tonight and I did it on my husband as well..big difference on his skin on the very first peel..I will keep doing it on him every week, as well. For me the difference it made was extra smooth skin, and I applied moisturizer afterwards, the oil-free you sent me, and it really does make a difference in how it prepares the skin for moisturizer too, along with the exfoliating.

Hello! I just received the Banana powder, and it is fabulous! No touchups at all during the day! It lasted well over 15 hours------this is a MAGNIFICENT product!

As a repeat customer, I am looking forward to receiving my most recent order. I will no doubt try most, if not all, of the products in your line within the next year.
Thank you.

I received the Banana Powder today - love it!! I can't wait to try some of the other products on your website. It has become one of my favorites! Evie
Hi Kathie,
I received the Super Matte Antishine and I absolutely love it! It works for me like nothing ever has, and I have tried everything. I have extremely oily skin, and it has been a serious problem for me. Now with this product, I put it on, and touch it up throughout the day, and I don't have to wear any foundation or even powder to control the oil! I am so pleased, and it makes my morning routine so much quicker! I hope your company continues to import and offer this product for a long time to come.
Regards,

Well, I think I've died and gone to heaven --- of course that would be amazing considering how physicians live their lives in this day and time --- need I say more??
I'm writing to say that today was the first time I used my new makeup, and I absolutely loved it. The Banana Powder is wonderful. I have fairly oily skin in my T-Zone, and I was shocked at how well this controlled the oil.
I'm sold --- after just one day! So, I placed another order tonight for more products.
Thanks a lot,
Celia

In my work as a portrait photographer, I frequently find just what I need in one of Kathie Dean's very well thought out makeup kits (I use her Large Professional Makeup Kit). For touchups to full makeovers, I haven't found anything better that'll fit in my location bag.
Thanks Kathie!

Hello, Kathie!
I'm so happy I discovered your company on the Internet. I've been to big drug stores and large fancy department stores, but was never totally satisfied with anything I found.
I am THRILLED with the makeup I ordered from you! First of all, I was impressed with the care that was obviously taken sending out the order. I received it in perfect condition.
The large makeup kit was definitely an excellent choice for me. I was able to experiment to my heart's content, and then choose the best looks for me. When I went out the other evening, I felt like a star! The makeup stayed put when I needed it to, but came off when I wanted it to--without a lot of scrubbing or irritation to my skin. I'm looking forward to my next purchase!
Best wishes,

Dear Kathie, I tried the paramedical camouflage palette this week, and it's wonderful! I was at the hospital 4 days this week, and it lasted longer than I did!! I used it for a few "sun spots" on the side of my face, a couple of small broken capillaries on the side of my nose, dark circles under my eyes, and an old pimple or two. I have the bad habit of sitting with my elbows on my knees, and my chin resting in my hand, with my hand and fingers on the side of my face. Even through all that it lasted! I have my medication administered every Tuesday, and this Tuesday I looked GOOD! Then I had tests (some lying down with my face pressed up against my arm or a pillow) , appointments, etc. I tell you Kathie, this product is wonderful! I love that all those colors are included. I've used different colors for different areas on my face. I'm starting to feel like an ol' pro!! Kathie, even though I'm sick (I know meds/illness changes one's skin) I looked good -- some of the personnel at the hospital even told me!! That was a MAJOR BOOST for me! With all I'm going through, looking (or trying to look) attractive is so important to me. You've helped me achieve that and then some!
I also love the sable makeup brushes in the travel set.....it is one of the BEST cosmetic purchases I've ever made. It's true.............good brushes really do make a difference, and I'll never be without these brushes again.
Makeup Artist's Choice will always be bookmarked as a favorite of mine. Thanks SO much, Kathie! I truly appreciate all the help you have given me.

Excerpts from a client who talked about us on a Vitiligo Support Group chat board regarding our paramedical camouflage products.)
......I cannot finish this mail without a reference to the web site from where I bought this product (paramedical 16-color palette).
Kathie Dean is a very helpful person. She went out of the way and sent me extra samples free of cost. She even called me long distance to discuss my problems and to make sure I was purchasing the correct product.
I am very grateful to her for helping me out. If it were not for her advice, I would have given up on trying paramedical products. I would recommend this site to everyone who needs paramedical camouflage.

Kathie,
Thanks for the personal attention and the extra mint powder. It's working very well for me on the redder areas of my face. I think it's just the right combination.

Hi Kathie, I got my makeup kit today! Thank you for your personalized attention. I wish you much success in your business endeavors.
I am in the PR business, and frankly, the attention that was given was far beyond what I would have expected. I will tell my friends and business associates!
And by the way the kit is great, especially the brushes. They are excellent quality.
My best to you.

Hi, I'm new in the make-up industry and have purchased your products before. I love your shadows and powders. I work as a make-up artist for Sephora Rockefeller Center, NYC, and freelance as well.
I have told all my co-workers about your web site, they laugh and tell me " We know all about it Anne, it's the best kept secret in NYC".
Well, now that I know that I feel privileged.
Thanks,
