i know none of us were particularly thrilled with her comments about americans and make-up, but i've been intrigued by this line for some time.i've decided to make a trip to her boutique to cheer myself up and was wondering if anyone has used (or read articles on) any of her make-up or the new skincare line.
TIA |

| I have a few samples of some of her skincare range which I haven't used. I must ask my mother what she thinks about this range. I know she literally bought half the line a few months ago, and seems to love some of the makeup. |

What did she say about Americans? I tried searching for the thread but couldn't find it (I'm beginning to be convinced that I don't know how to use the search feature).
I've been curious about this line too...I've seen it at eluxury. |

| I use by Terry’s Perfect Glow Foundation. After Stephane Marais was discontinued, I tired a few brands like Chantecaille, Paul & Joe, Estee Lauder, and YSL. I decided to go with by Terry. It works well for my skin (except for really hot summer days). Smooth, light, and the finish is natural. I think this foundation was also discontinued not too long ago. Well, just my luck. The sales lady told me their Color Skin Enhancer is very popular. She tired it on me and it felt nice. But I did not care for the color so I didn’t purchase it. |

Not sure, but I thought it was Laura Mercier who made those remarks?
Anyway, is by Terry the same Terry who makes the Fresh Scents fragrances?? Just wondering  |

Hmm...makes me want to re-evaluate if I want to give her (Miss Mercier) 40 dollars of my money to try her tinted moisturizer! 
I talked with a woman who owns a small makeup boutique here in Tucson, she's the only one in town to carry Fresh, Bliss, Cargo, etc...and she mentioned that Carol (who does LORAC) is very terribly b*tchy when she called in order to request information about LORAC so she (the lady who owns the boutique) won't carry (at least right now) the line at all. I guess Carol deals with those directly who want to carry her line of products or something.
Creators of makeup lines shouldn't bite the hands (millions of hands) that feed them!  |

Didn't mean to go off topic!
Mea Culpa.
I have a tendency to do that often. |

Hi la vie en rose,
I have been using byTerry for the last 7 years.
My list:
Eyes: multicare eye definer liner + Blackstar + Eyeshadows -I love both because they go on and stay on - and can double as eyeshadow. The eyeshadows are lovely and soft but highly pigmented with a great selection of colors. A little goes a long way.
Face-Eclat de Perle,Colorskin Enhancer,Blush, Loose Powder-the eclat de perle is a luminizer that is matte with opalescent sheen not shimmer - I use under mmu or loose powder - it brightens and lifts my complexion.
I have a bronze color skin enhancer in a discontinued color but understand that it is very similar to the newer Cooling & Extra Glow bronzers - I love the not to shimmery finish of this product. The loose powder gives a luminous finish and has a little shimmer similar to Chantecaille loose powder but it contains talc. The blush is lovely - I have yet to try the new creme blush/blush de thes but have heard they are wonderful.
Lips-lipsticks,multicare lipgloss, gloss de perle, baume de rose- the lipsticks are hydrating and longlasting but my 2 current favs are the gloss de perle + baume de rose. The baume de rose is a cult product that tends to sell out 2x in the winter months. The gloss de perle is super hydrating and lasts  - these 2 will always be in my makeup bag.
When you are in Paris make sure you ask about limited edition products as they are not always available on-line.
If you wish - you can pm me for the Paris address of the makeup artist who flies over to the states and does the training for the US makeup artists -she is lovely and very good at helping you choose colors that are perfect for you and not about what's trendy or a must have.
HTH enjoy your trip  |

| If my memory serves me correctly, the "Terry" in "by Terry" was formerly in a senior position at YSL Make-up line, creative director or something similar. I think she claims to have invented that Touche Eclat product. |

| Yes - by Terry created Touche Eclat - and she is about using color and luminosity enhancing makeup so you don't look made-up. |

which is exactly what i'm looking for.... however, forgot to ask you an important question -- are you break-out prone? also, have you tried (or gotten samples) of any of her skincare line? |

yes I am break out prone - very sensitive to certain ingredients + fragrance. i have sampled some(2) of her skincare line but was not impressed as I found it too perfumey but don't let that stop you as I am very sensitive to scent at times  . It was a cleanser + serum but I can't remember which as it is at least 2 years ago or whenever the skincare first came out. No reactions though.
From what i understand it has gotten alot of positive responses in some of the french mags and beauty product awards.
I haven't had any problems with the makeup whatsoever and definitely think you should sample everything  when you're there as there may be things not available in the US. What about contacting Barneys for samples of the skincare if you have time before your trip? |

You lucky minx  - I thought you were in the States and coming over on vacation.
I would just like to reiterate that I love by Terry products and the customer service is wonderful. The comments in the article in the earlier thread were stereotypical but I still feel that the service and quality of the products redeem the comments. Laura Mercier's comments were the most offensive considering the American market is the backbone/foundation of her business and she was up unti1 recently not even known in France 
PM me when you go and check the store out and let me know what you think and what was okay and what was amazing.
I have bought from the one in my fav Vero Dodat and in Rue Jacob when I've been in Paris.
I miss going for breakfast and having lovely coffee and the bakeries and going out to dinner....Paris is special and a great city to enjoy life in |

I have tried a few different foundations in the line and really like them, but I prefer Kanebo cream foundation over all, one of the best that I have used.
I also have the Eclat de perle, (hope I spelled it right, lol!). It is a liquid luminizer.
Also, a few lipsticks and glosses as well.
Overall, I really like the line, just hard to get a hold of in Canada, (shipping , ect.). |
