cathy_jean,
Have you received your new package from Kandis yet? I'm sooo curious to hear your first impressions on the new products.

Haven't received it yet and I am eagerly awaiting as my little sample jar of LE is just about out! |

My package from Kandis arrived yesterday!  I used the ULLE for the first time last night.
My initial impressions as I dipped my finger into the jar was that it was almost like whipped butter, but as it is applied to the face it goes on very silky and almost slippery, but it absorbed quickly. You know how the LE has a slight tackiness (or stickiness) once it is on? The ULLE doesn't.
I used the ULLE around my lips and also on my 11's. Then, as before, I used the LE around my eyes and on my chin (which has some discoloration from years of hormonal acne -- I am hoping the LE will help with the skin tone here).
One other impression: Before opening the ULLE, I inadvertantly opened the face cream and scooped out a small bit before I realized I had opened the wrong jar. (Ah, had shared a bottle of wine with the DH at dinner...) The face cream is supposed to be used during the day, over the LE, with the primer on top. But as I was standing there with some already on my finger I decided to apply it to my cheeks. Well, my cheeks are like velvet this morning ... it is funny but I cannot stop "petting" my right cheek ... it is that soft!!!
I'll post more later after I test out my new morning ritual with the LE, face cream, and primer. (I'm allowing myself the luxury of a lazy morning today  ) |

| Oops, I just looked at my new products again. The face cream is in a pump like the LE ... I wrote that I had confused the face cream with the ULLE, but actually I think I had confused it with the LE. |

Ohhhh cathy_jean, I am sooo wanting this. What type of bottle/jar does the primer come in? Thanks for letting us now.
Because you are the only people I know who will grieve with me over this....I found my daughter sitting on the floor playing with my NG...wahhhh. It's nearly empty now.

Oh, drat, Kimberly! I feel for you. Just an idea but I put my NG in a roller ball applicator - wouldn't be wasted, if got a hold of it again and it's very convenient for applying - just like lip gloss! |

That's a good idea Scally. Thanks. And it wasn't just one of my NG's, it was both. Definitely a count to 10...110 moment if I've ever seen one.

Oh gosh Kimberly, that's a very sad about your NG ... we can definitely relate to how you must be feeling!
The primer comes in a pump bottle, but it is shaped like a cylinder. The LE and Face Cream are both in rectangular shaped bottles. (I think I'm going to put a small blob of nail polish on the cap of my Face Cream so that it is easier to tell from a glance which is the Face Cream and which is the LE.)
So, I've done my new morning ritual now ... one thing I've noticed with all of the face products is that a tiny little bit goes a long way, just like with the LE. I love love love the face cream!!!! My cheeks have never felt so soft. (My hand keeps going up to stroke my cheek and I need to try to stop doing this -- not only is it weird but I'm afraid I'll end up getting germs on my face and breaking out.  ) I will need to find out from Kandis if the face cream will be offered as an individual item.
The face primer is interesting. It is hard for me to compare these products to other things on the market because unlike so many of the posters on these boards, I haven't had a lot of experience trying new things because I have always had to be so careful with my skin ... it often responds to new products with breakouts, rosacea flares or allergic reactions. So, for the face primer I will have to say that the consistency is almost like aloe vera gel but I'm sure there is something better to compare it to. The interesting thing with it is that it goes on slippery but then almost feels powdery in a silky way!

Scally, where do you buy the roller ball applicators? I'm in Canada and have been looking around, but so far no luck. I think one of those would be perfect because I always end up applying way too much. |

Diana and all, I bought them on eBay. Here's the link to one type; she has others, as well:

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for, and now I don't even have to leave the house. Don't know why I didn't think of ebay. I've already sent her an email asking for shipping costs to Canada. |

I received the products today and haven't had time to really check them out, but I thought I'd give some added information on the face primer. It is very similar in feel to other silicone based products I've used which are used to temporarily fill lips lines. I'm thinking about Estee Lauder Perfectionist for correcting lip lines.
Kandis included a sticker on the invoice which lists the ingredients:
Cyclomethicone, Dimeticone, Crosspolymers, Jojoba Esters, Sunflower Seed Oil, Tocpheryl Acetate, Palmitate,Ascorbyl Palmitate
The face cream is lovely..light and moisturizing. All seem to be very generous amounts as well.
I have been truly delighted with the lip system, so I have high hopes for these new products as well. I'll post again after giving them a try. |

Hi saladgirl
I look forward to your review of the products. I'm really curious as to whether you are as enchanted with the face cream as I am. (For me, the jury is out on the ULLE until I see it working on my wrinkles) |

The Night Glaze. I apply it about every 20-30 minutes. Kandis sends a very detailed instruction sheet with the system which describes what to use and when to use it. But you will go through the NG the fastest. |

I received an email from Kandis that had new instructions for the ULLE.
If I am understanding it correctly, in the mornings we are supposed to apply the LE upon awakening. Then, after showering, eating breakfast, etc. we are to apply the ULLE, then the Face Cream, then the Primer.
In the evenings, when we get home, apply more LE. Then, do the night time blow dry routine on the lips (before applying LE or ULLE to any areas of the face). Then, apply ULLE.
It sounds like the basic change is to use ULLE both morning and night, and use the LE around the lips upon awakening and returning home from work. (I was also blowdrying my lips with the LE applied to the areas around them, and it sounds like it is better to do this afterwards ...)
BTW, yesterday (Easter) I was visiting with my in-laws, and my two sisters-in-law were discussing what their best facial features were. I told them I thought it was their eyes. I then said I thought my best facial feature was my bone structure, and they both said "or your lips!" (I am guessing that is due to L2K, which I haven't told them about yet but will if they are nice .) |

Has anyone seen the new lip color {palm desert pink} on the L2K website. I looked but couldnt see it. Is it just me having a DUH! moment!?
I have high hopes for this color as I can't wear Napa Wine ot Sonoma Sun. The colors do nothing for me at all,and Drama queen lip gloss is too pale, so all I have is the Monterey Mauve and the Sexy Mama lip gloss.

Oh my gosh, this thread is soooo long and also not familiar with the abrieviations here.
i have never used any of these products and not familiar. Looks like there are new products being introduced with this line...ULLE LE???? 
can anyone give me an idea on how to get started and roughly how long it takes to see real results? I have intentionally stayed away from this site b/c I HAD to cut down on my spending and beauty products.
BUT my 40th is like a month away and I just had to do something to feel a little extra special when I'm 40 (besides the new diet and exercise routine I've got going to lose 10 lbs)
Now is there a wrinkle reversal product here you are raving about???
and this Lip product, out of 5 stars and what it is supposed to do, what would you give it? Is it a plumper like lipfusion (I mean same results) and/or gives you color? Lip rejuvenator I'm guessing ..is that right?
thanks ladies,
Wendy |

You know I look at the before and after photos on that website and yeah there is some dif but they just use closer shots with each after photo. It makes it look more dratatic than it really is.
Unless someone can really attest to the dramatic results they got, I just don't know.
I'm sorry I know their website has a lot of info but that is why this forum is here, to get real feedback and reviews from real consumers. |

Unfortunately, unless someone is slathering the product on continuously throughout the day this product can't work. If it's not feasible because of your schedule to put this on all the time (every twenty minutes), I think you shouldn't have any expectations of creating fullness.
I've been using it faithfully for at least two months plus; but I can't get it on as frequently as Kandis recommends. Hence no difference in my lips, except that the product feels good  & is good for the lip dermis.
I still think it's a good product in that it is helpful to the skin of the lips rather than typical balm or lipstick, so I will continue to use what I have.
When I am out of this I plan to purchase Super Sterol Liquid from The Herbarie (http://theherbarie.com/Super-Sterol-Liquid-pr-308.html) as a replacement for the NG. |
