I actually ended up purchasing from Erzulie Cosmetics on etsy (a partner? of PIH- both sites' banners say "Progress in Health & Erzulie Cosmetics"). I don't remember why, but i kind of think there was a sale going on. At least one of the times i purchased i got a free juicee lip color/balm. I also find the etsy site a bit more user friendly; it's organized into more subcategories that make things easier to find, and you don't have to flip multiple pages within the categories.
The Concealer/Corrector Stick $6:
This is packaged in a slimtube, and is smooth, creamy, and highly pigmented/opaque. It gives great coverage for dark circles- especially when set with a powder (I use SN extra light peach SIAJ)
The Depuffer Eye Balm $5:
This smells really herbal and does feel kind of thick/moist so i'm not always inclined to use it under makeup. With all the nourishing oils though, i do often use this as a night treatment and feel like it does help with circles and thin undereye skin, as well as bags when i'm super tired or know i won't be getting enough sleep.
The Oxygen Blemish Treatment $6:
Customer Service:
I feel I really need to note an important thing about their customer service. When I first purchased the blemish treatment, it was in a liptube with a doefoot applicator. Being a runny lotion, a LOT of product was wasted with the packaging and it was hard to close without gushing product. However, i was aware of the packaging and foresaw these problems before i purchased it, so i really couldn't complain (though i may have mentioned it in passing when i left a positive etsy review- not sure). Anyhow, a month or two after my purchase, PIH/Erzulie Cosmetics remedied this obvious flaw in packaging to the current squeeze tube. Through my etsy account (i purchased from etsy), I was sent a message saying that the product had been recalled and i would receive a new tube in the mail within the week. To my knowledge, the only reason for recall was the packaging.I find it very cool that they took the time to send out a new tube to a recent customer when they changed packaging, very classy indeed.
