I believe most of the cosmetics/skincare products have this warning for safety precaution and lawsuit. My Olay products have this warning too. They also have warning not to get into eyes area. It's common, isn't it? This is not eye drops. My Clinique Total Turnaround also said to avoid eyes area and this costs more than Ultimate. I use Ultimate and Retroactive on my eyes area without problem, never got them into my eyes. I think Avon has decent price compared to other brands in the market, healthstore finds or dept. store. Avon is the first company to market AHA product. I don't think you can expect one cream to work for everyone, that's why there are tons of stuff out there to pick. For now Avon products work for me, I'm on the third jar of Retroactive and second jar of Ultimate. I strayed away from Retroactive once and my skin wasn't as nice as when I was using it. I'm glad KMF products work for you, not all people can use botanical products.

We make Wolfgang Puck's salmon, creme fraiche, and caviar pizza fairly often. If I don't have caviar, I sprinkle on some capers. It's good either way. Wolfgang Puck's Pizza Ingredients 1 recipe Pizza Dough 16 ounces smoked salmon, sliced paper-thin 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium red onion, cut into julienne strips 1/4 bunch fresh dill, minced, plush 4 small sprigs for garnish 1 cup sour cream or crème fraîche Freshly ground pepper 4 heaping tablespoons domestic golden caviar 4 heaping teaspoons black caviar Preparation Before you are ready to bake the pizzas, preheat the oven with a pizza stone inside for 30 minutes to 500 degrees F. After the dough has been rolled or stretched into four 8-inch circles, place the pizzas on a lightly floured wooden peel. Brush the center of each pizza to within 1 inch of the edge with olive oil and sprinkle it with some of red onion. Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake 8 to 12 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Mix the dill with the sour cream or creme fraiche and freshly ground pepper to taste. Transfer the pizzas to heated dinner plates and spread them with the sour cream mixture. Divide the salmon, and arrange decoratively over the cream. Place a spoonful of golden caviar in the center of each pizza, then spoon a little of the black caviar into the center of the golden caviar. Cut each pizza into fourths and serve immediately.

NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner; pencil liner. If you apply it and let it "dry down" for just a few seconds, it is virtually smudge-proof (it can be smudged, if you smudge it right after applying). They just came out with a med-dark brown color. It also comes in a bronze-y brown and a black, in addition to more "colorful" colors as well. Stila Smudge Pots would be a close second (not the sticks, they seemed to dry out, and the caps never stayed on). The Smudge Pots looked really nice on, and held up very, very well. But you have to apply it with a brush, and sometimes takes multiple dips of the brush back into the "pot" to get full coverage (though the nice dark line looked great once you got it). I find using the pencils (NARS, LTL pencils) to be much quicker, and it holds up just as well. This post was edited by cat_mom on Sun, Aug 11, 13 at 13:48

It takes time to get the heat gun out from where you keep crafts tools, plugging it in, wait a few second for it to heat up, and many times longer for it to do a not very good job. Worst, if the refrigerator happens to be working at the time and someone is microwaving something, you can blow a fuse because a heat gun takes a lot of watts. A kitchen butane torch is small, cheap and instant-on. you can use it also to brown a steak, start a BBQ fire, etc. etc. dcarch
