No kidding
By Alyssa A. Lappen
Generally speaking, I am the last person on world to think regarding beauty products, make up and face creams. But regarding two years ago, while traversing a New England mall with a loving family member, I was unwillingly lassoed into stopping at a Premier lavishness cosmetics kiosk to play guinea pig.

“You won’t believe it,” I was told. Okay, so the sales woman flashes before me a royal blue glass jar of whipped face cream, dabs a heap of over and under my eyes and asks me to rub it in.

Voila, a authenti divergence appeared in the mirror.

Next, she issued a dab of this under-eye anti-aging serum, and asked me to rub it in lightly, underneath each eye. Voila, again, an awful decline, instantly, in wrinkles.

I confess that I am still in shell shock over the amount I expended on Premier cosmetics that day. But I still have all the items, and the jars are still more than half full.

Now that the kiosks are gone from the malls, and Premier’s prices have tumbled by more than half, thanks to online retail from galore internet stores, these productions are a authenti value.

They look expensive. But this little jar that will now run you perhaps $30 formerly cost $99. And it will still last you years.

The value comes when you look in the mirror and see that your skin genuinely is more supple, less wrinkled and younger than it was before you indulged yourself a little.

Premier Eye Serum
By Lynne Masterson
Premier is a welcome modify from other eye serums…it’s not oily and absorbs very well. My fine lines around my eyes have diminished. I would commend it to my friends!

Best wrinkle remover I’ve ever used
By Merijane Malouin
Tried it at the mall on one eye. Went to see my friends having lunch and they were so amazed that we all purchased it.
Packaging from the company is weak and names rub off as do directions. That is the greatest downfall
