Re: Biochem moisturizer warning

Really? That stinks! I love the stuff, although I just use some of the
"spa" skin care. I don't use the makeup. Puh-lease! I refuse to spend $25
for mascara when it's just going to irritate my eyes anyway! 

However, after reading through these, I may have to try Auralie's milk
treatment. I can't drink it (allergic) but I wonder if it would make my
skin better.
