"Just thought I'd let you know that when I was talking to my husband today about placing an order for my facial products, he told me to "keep doing whatever I've been doing because my face looks great." I really do love your skin care products!!"
Rena Burns, Franklin, TN

"Your Beryl powders are so elegant. I really love your colors, so--- beautiful! I also like the Vitamin C in them. I am placing my second order as these are so soft and nice."
Yukari, Paris, France

"I wanted to tell you about how helpful the Serum St. Martha has been to me and my family. I had originally bought this to fix my toenail fungus. It is the only thing that I have used that has worked, and I have tried them all. A few weeks ago, I hit my small toe on a doorway and stripped a large piece of skin off. For days it was inflamed and painful. One night I put some of the St. Martha oil on it. To my surprise, I noticed pain relief almost immediately and I could not believe the difference in the morning. The redness was gone, the pain was gone, and the wound was half its size. I am using it now on my children's scrapes and cuts. What a product!"
Michael K., North Carolina

"My mother appreciates the (Lemon Balm Serum) pain oil for her shingles. The oil was very soothing and especially cooling on her face. The lesions have always been hot and makes her face red and uncomfortable besides justbeing painful. So the oil addresses that very well. She used it at night when she had to take off her lidocaine patches. Those can only be
worn for 12 hours. Then a bath followed by the Lemon Balm oil for the night. She is
getting better slowly and it is the only thing that has helped her sleep through the night."
Linda Johnson, WIlmington, NC

"I gave the St. Luke's Pain Relief gel to one of my employees because she has a bad case of the shingles around her midriff. She calls it the "MIracle Gel" because it takes away the pain and works when the prescription medicine she received from the doctor did little to relieve her pain."
Janet H., Danville, VA

"I ordered finishing powder and foundation powder along with eyelash conditioner, morning blush, face cream and a color powder from you about a year ago. I am THRILLED with everything! I use them sparingly as I live in Egypt and only have the opportunity to pick up orders in the states every year or so. Even though my next trip isn't for months, I am running low and already cruising your website, scouting out what I want.

I was hesitant to order because I haven't been wearing make up for long and don't usually buy anything but the cheapest of drug store makeup. Something about me rebels against the "beauty industry" so I have been loathe to buy into it. This stance has gotten difficult to maintain, however, as I creep through my late 30s and recognize that my youthful glow isn't keeping pace.

But you offered a product that I could feel GREAT about supporting, because of the legacy of your uncle and the direction of your proceeds. So I had no problem plunking down the money, and hoped that the makeup would do the trick as a bonus!

It did. I still don't fuss with wearing makeup daily, but whenever I do, everyone at my office immediately comments, saying things like "Wow, you must have gotten a good night's sleep!" or, "Uh oh, someone's in love again..."

Your make up makes me glow on the outside, and allows me to shine on the inside, and my shrewder friends are asking me to bring back some Abbey St. Clare magic for them too.

Thank you for making me look and feel great.

Blessings to you and your team."
Diana, Egypt

"Thank you for your helpful email. My products have not yet arrived but sure they won't be long!

Also, could I just let you know that your products are my saviour! I first discovered mineral make up when I got married 2 years ago, the stylist who did my make up on the day used it and it really opened my eyes; as someone with skin that is sometimes very oily, sometimes dry, a bit spotty and a little scarred from previous severe acne, I never could find make-up that covered well but didn't make my spots worse. I always had to compromise, but no more!

After my wedding, I wanted to carry on with mineral make-up but struggled to find it here. The 2 companies I found in UK were extremely expensive (£35 for a pot of foundation, which is approx $70). Then I found you, and I've never looked back! I recommend you to everyone I meet, and although I still get spots, now it's just a few.

So now as I reach the end of my twenties, and venture into new wrinkle territory, it is you I turn to for help to hold back the years. Once I have tried all the samples, you can rest assured I will be back to place another order!"

Once again, many thanks."
Emma Jephcott, Birmningham, England

"My family and friends have been amazed at how good I look since I started using your products. I am 66 and was thinking about surgery, but you told me to reconsider, give the products a little time, and I want you to know it was the best advice I ever took. I feel so much better about myself. I am ordering the Face Firming Concentrate now with that new ingredient and can't wait to hear what people will be saying now."
Clara Wilson, North Carolina

"I have never in my life used such great eyeshadow as Abbey St. Clare's "Colours" line. I use them every single day with the Eye Contour Duo Brush. A few of my favorites are the Sunstone, Soft Brown, Aged Wine and Bantry Bay. They make my blue eyes sparkle!  All of the colours in the Colours line are unique and are amazing quality. When I first got mine in the mail, I showed all of my friends and they were so jealous! I told them all about Abbey's products and told them to try some of mine, and after applying it, they came back to me and were amazed at the quality of the powders. All this time, we were thinking that the eye shadows you can get in drug and department stores were high quality! They're not! These actually feel soft going on your skin. I love them! I'll never buy department store brands again."
Kate Hardey, Windor, Ontario

"Well, I'm sold on Abbey Clare's products! I can already see & feel a difference. I just can't stay away. I love everything I've tried and want more!! The samples were wonderful! My skin has never felt so good or looked as good as it now does - and in such a short time. My daughter couldn't believe how smooth my face is now!!! By the way, my daughter LOVES her samples and her acne problem is really being helped. She says the Spot Remover is a miracle potion. Hurrah for Abbey Clare!!"
Dawn Robbins, Hardinsburg, KY

"I want to tell you about 'the miracle': I burned my face pretty badly last week, cooking steaks in very hot butter. It hurt, and one burn was on my eyelid. I kept an icepack on it, but it still hurt every time I took the icepack off. Then, I took a cool shower, letting the cool water bathe it, but it still hurt. When I got out of the shower, I got to looking at the cream (the Face Firming Concentrate). I decided, on a whim, to put it on the burn. After I did, I realized it wasn't hurting any more at all. So, I went on around the house, working and so forth. Then, I looked in the mirror and the burn size had decreased and the redness was lessening. There was a big welt above my eye, and the white part in the middle went away. Now, a week later, you can't tell I was ever burned at all. I've been putting the cream on it twice, sometimes three times, a day. Anyway, the cream healed the burn fast. Thank you."
Martha Abadie Hattiesburg, MS

"I visited the Caribbean for a couple of weeks this year and brought along the Rose Hydrosol with me, because I tend to have break outs from sweating in the heat. I would use it every night before I went to bed which not only cooled me off, but calmed my skin! Before I knew it, my husband was asking me to spray his face too!  It was so cool and refreshing. Now that I'm back from the Caribbean, I still use it to set my makeup in the morning and as the last step in my cleansing routine at night. I love it! I can't wait to try the other varieties- the Orange Hydrosol one is next on my list! EVERYONE should try one of these at least once- they're wonderful!"
Jennifer Noomly, Victoria, British Columbia

"...I also want you to know that the combination of products you recommended is working SO WELL. The Brightening serum combined with Vitamin A & C crèmes have made a visible improvement in the skin on my arms, legs, hands AND face in only a few days. I am very pleased with every product. Thank you for all your diligent research."
Sandi from VA

"I tried the Chamomile Shampoo recently and after reading your product card, I let it dry in the sun.  When I went to work the next day, my coworkers kept asking if I had had my hair highlighted at the salon.   Wow!"
Sharon K.  San Diego, CA

"I would like to tell you that while I am the "old lady" in our office by a full seven years, very few people realize it. Even the two new hires thought the 50 year old was the oldest. It may be that my sun bleached hair appears more blonde than grey, but I know it is the appearance of my skin. Since using the Abbey St Clare products, it is smoother, clearer, has fewer fine lines and is so healthy looking. The 50 year old told me I was disgusting!! :) My husband is active in the community and says that everyone he visits thinks he is married to a younger woman. Do I need to tell you that I am loving this?"
Susan Wolfe, Portland, MI

"Hello! A very nice man gave me a sample kit of your products at the LPGA in Auburn, CA. I have to be honest...I didn't use the samples for several weeks. I figured since they had natural ingredients, they couldn't possibly work as good as my high powered potions from the dermatologist. My skin became very flakey and irritated from my regular routine, so I decided to give my skin a break and try the Abbey St. Clare samples. I WAS FLOORED BY THE RESULTS!! My skin was calmed and renewed over night! I used the samples until they were gone. (Earth Cleanser, Vit-C Tonic, Rose Spray & Rosehip Serum) The tiny bumps that usually covered my face were completely gone!! For the first time in many, many years, my skin was totally smooth and clear!! The scents were so appealing, too! I would tell my husband to smell my face and I would ask him, "Does that smell as incredible to you as it does to me?

"My skin was really angry again this whole week and I got my Abbey St. Clare goodies on Saturday...today is Monday and my skin has already calmed down, smoothed out and is healing from the acne marks and flaking. This stuff is truly amazing. I have had sensitive skin for so many years. If I don't wash my face regularly, I get bad black heads and acne. If I wash my face regularly, I don't get black heads, but I get irritation and acne. I have tried everything from super mild cleansers to dermatologist products. With the Abbey St. Clare products, I can wash my face twice a day and have beautiful smooth acne free skin! I love these products!

"I am self employed and on a pretty tight budget, but my husband and I both agree that the results I got in the short time I used these products prove they are worth every penny! I am really looking forward to the arrival of my order! It was so hard to choose! Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I ordered some sample mineral foundations from you. I just wanted to say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that 8.5! Thank you so much for making a foundation that ethnic women can also enjoy. I am Indian and AA and have a horrible time finding foundations because I have both yellow and red undertones. Now, I can use your 8.5 and mix it with ...more red and voila!... I get a great match. I also love the finish and staying power of your mineral foundation. I have sampled from many companies and I love how yours does not make me shiny. Thanks for having great products!"
Tonia McGaughy, Stockbridge, GA

"I like and enjoy everything I have purchased from Abbey St. Clare, but my favorite thing of all times is the Vespers Oil. At night, I rub it into the palms of my children and say my quiet prayers, then I breathe it in while I am going to sleep. It is so peaceful and wonderful. I use it every day."
Sandi from VA

"I am impressed with the Tea Tree Cleanser, Comfrey Toner and Vitamin B Complex Cream (especially the cream!). Very good moisturizer for my oily skin. You were right! And I'm so glad you offer samples we can test before buying full size products. I will be placing an order soon for the above products. I am also grateful for the New color of foundation 8.7! It might be the one! I have been wearing it for the past 3 days and liking it a lot! I am trying to look as matte as possible with this oily skin... Your product expertise, recommendations, and generous samples are so appreciated. Thanks for the personal service and attention."
Samantha Williams Chula Vista, CA

"I had to tell you this! My son (18 months) had a mean case of diaper rash last week. I ran out of diapers at the shopping mall and he was in this VERY MESSY diaper for about 45 minutes before I could get home. He was crying and so agitated when I wiped his bottom. It broke my heart. The Neroli spritzer was nearby. I just couldn't think of anything else, but I knew it would be perfect. Gentle and easy for babies and adults alike. I spritzed twice and he immediately calmed down. I think at first, it was the cooling sensation and then the hydrosol worked its magic. I often use olive oil, but even that would have upset him because of the wiping. The spray is perfect. After I wiped, I didn’t have to touch him anymore to make his pain go away. I don't think anything else in the house could have done that! It's perfect for purses or baby bags. Just perfect."
Donna Maria, Bowie MD

"I dye my hair red every six weeks, and have a hard time with fading. Red dye is notorious for fading quickly, so I decided to try Abbey's Chamomile Shampoo, and I've never been so happy with a shampoo before! It smells great, it doesn't strip my hair of all of its oils, and it doesn't fade my colour! It's unlike any kind of shampoo that I've ever used- it feels like I'm washing my hair IN nature- I can almost feel myself in a lake next to a forest when I use it. It's wonderful because you can tell that there are no chemicals in the product. You'll look at all other shampoos on the shelf of stores differently after using this. It's not a creamy shampoo, but the suds are amazing! Well done AsC!"
Marilyn Jasper, Nova Scotia

"It is Thursday and what a wonderful surprise I found in my mailbox!! As I opened it up, the aroma was so very lovely. First of all thank you for your prompt, informative and personal-touch e-mails. Also, thank you for your undivided attention while filling my order. It is quite evident. I am so grateful to find a company that hasn't been over-taken with people only interested in getting their time in and making minimal effort toward customer service. You have already surpassed my expectations. As I type this I have the Earth & Herbs Mud Masque on (has been 15 minutes and my face doesn't feel anywhere near concrete!!) and my sample of Morning Mango soap is on my desk and it smells fabulous. Thank you, also for the extra samples you sent. I haven't felt this excited about anything since I was a child anticipating Christmas morning. I will be putting another order in before the end of this month. I am looking forward to all of these hidden treasures that I have been so fortunate to discover. Again, thank you and am looking forward to a long relationship with you and these fantastic products.
May God continue to bless you."
Shelby Marsh, Falls of Rough KY

"I just received my first order from you (actually two orders that you shipped together). I ordered the foundation powder and Lip Plump. I love them both. They were very nicely packed and I love all the extra samples...so will my daughter! You have great products at a great price. I have tried other foundations such as Bare Escentuals and they are too sparkly and much too expensive. Keep up the great work and I will order again and again. Thanks!"
Alicia Dearmin, Okanogan, WA

"Thanks Abbey St. Clare! I must say that after using these products (from cleansers to treatment crèmes) over the past year I have noticed a remarkable improvement in the appearance of my skin. I absolutely love the way my skin feels and looks! I have just finished a trial of the mineral make-up and will now be making a switch from my liquid foundation."
DP in Dry Fork, VA

"I just love my new skin!"
Kelley Yates, Martinsville, VA

"The Elixir St. Martha is amazing stuff. My husband had horrid toenail fungus and tried everything the drugstore had to offer. He considered taking the prescription pill but hated to put that into his body. I gave him the sample of the nail oil you sent and within a day --- one day! --- he could see a difference. He ran out of the sample, and within three days the black thickening started to reappear. I bought a new bottle, and he applies it twice a day. Takes no time at all with the little brush. It 's now two months and his nails are newly grown and look as if nothing was ever wrong. Great stuff!!"
Emily Davis, Shenandoah, VA

"It was such a nice treat to receive your package. I get so excited because I love the products and I receive compliments when I use them. I know you appreciate feedback, and the compliments I get reinforce my own opinion! I used the last of the Bleue Crème when I was home for my cousin’s wedding. As maid of honor I received many compliments, but I had three people tell me how beautiful my skin looked. I was sure to promote the wonder cream! It really does seem to form a protective layer without adding extra shine. As for Healing Hands, I bring it with me on clinical rotations. I like how non-greasy it is, and I like the new scent. Your scents are great because they are light and pretty, but still sophisticated. (I had been saving the first bottle of perfume because I didn’t want it to be gone.) My summer roommate really liked the Casablanca fragrance. Thank you for the larger size too. I love how extensive your line is. Thanks again.
P.S. The sachet was a nice treat -– love the scent!"
Katie B., Washington, DC

"I like the Super Anti-Shine product that definitely delivers its promise. No more shine at mid-day! Another product that works great is the Earth and Herb Mud masque. This masque feels comfortable on the face and most important of all, leaves my face fresher and radiant after each application. I enjoy browsing the on-line shoppe and the detailed description of the product line are useful in deciding on the suitable products to purchase. Thank you Margaret."
Julie Boh, Singapore

"I have been using Abbey St. Clare products for approximately nine months and there is such a remarkable improvement in the condition of my skin. The fine lines around my mouth are less noticeable and my skin looks and feels softer and smoother. I highly recommend these products."
Vicki H. Martinsville, VA

"I'm just writing this little note to congratulate you on the Coffee and Cloves shampoo and conditioner. You know, of course, that all your potions are magical, but I think this one is my favorite, along with the Elixir St. Martha cuticle oil that I've been using for several years. Nights when I use the shampoo and conditioner, my hair is noticeably different. It wakes up shinier, stronger, thicker. It holds its curl better. Somehow it even seems darker. Anyway, I thought you'd be pleased."
Lydialyle Gibson. Chicago, IL

"Using Abbey St. Clare is like aromatherapy, meditation and cleansing all in one. The total feel-good package. My skin feels so good after my cleansing routine, I don't want to put my make-up on! I just love this stuff!"
MS, Martinsville, VA

"At age 67, I have tried all the different cosmetic lines but I am now using only the Abbey St.Clare products and my skin looks better than it ever has. I thought I could see a difference even in the first month, but after one year I am so happy with how I look that I am no longer thinking about having surgery to tighten the skin on my neck. I am always checking the store to see what is new!"
A 'younger' lady in Martinsville, VA

"I don’t think I’ve ever tried one of your products that wasn’t sheer delight. Thanks so much."
Virginia Hamlett, Bassett, VA

"I love the natural way the products look and feel. My skin has never felt so clean and fresh. From packaging performance, Abbey St. Clare just makes you feel good about yourself."
MHS, Martinsville, VA

"I didn't think it possible, but I have been using the the Yellow Creme and the sagging skin on my jawline is actually starting to smooth out and become firmer. Thank you!"
JG, Rockford, MI

"I'm a college student, and there are weeks when relaxation and rest are hard to come by. The Mud Masque always keeps my skin soft and smooth, even when I'm stressed. I use it about once a week, and when things are especially busy, using the mud masque always makes me feel refreshend and ready to face the world again."
KG, Winston-Salem, NC

"Thanks so much. I love all my products I ordered, especially the lip glosses."
Kimberly Johnson, Los Angeles, CA

"When I play violin, dry skin really gets in the way. But when I've tried to put on lotion mid-practice, I always end up sticking to my instrument. With the Shea Butter lotion, however, I can keep on playing. It's the perfect thickness, not sludgy, not watery, and you can't even feel that you've put it on, except that your skin is so much softer."
CH, Winston-Salem, NC

"In 2002, after reading some disturbing findings on HRT, I decided to try herbal remedies for menopausal symtoms. Several products were very effective but contained licorice which made by blood pressure start to rise. I then discovered the Weary Woman Yam Creme and have had great results using this product. Night sweats, hot flashes, and mood swings are a thing of the past for me; not to mention the peace of mind in knowing that I am no longer putting harmful hormones into my body. Thank you Abbey St. Clare!!!!!"
Un-Weary Woman in VA

"I was taking estrogen for hot flashes and night sweats, but after all the reports I became concerned. I've been using the Weary Woman Yam Creme now for six months now and I want to tell you how much better I feel. I used the cream along with the estrogen for two months, and then stopped the estrogen completely. It's been four months now with just the cream alone, and I feel so much better, mentally and physically. It took about a week to figure out the right amount for me. I am also using the tea you sent and that seems to help. I still have several small heat events a day, but the duration and intensity of them has greatly diminished, and the best part is I no longer have to worry about whether the hormone supplements will cause me problems down the road."
AK, Danville, VA

"This White Creme is like silk! My skin has never looked better!"
HS, Martinsville, VA

"I am someone who has loved sitting in the sun for the past thirty years and developed many deep wrinkles. Recently, I started using Vitamin C Tonic and Vitamin C Complex Crème twice a day. Within two months I noticed that my skin was softer and the wrinkles much less pronounced. I have used many products over the years with little effect, but your Vitamin C products have produced a noticeable difference in my sun damaged skin."
A. Harcharik, Cherry Valley, IL

"My mother called right away to tell me she received her package and she was just thrilled! She loves the Vitamin C products. She said she could tell a difference after the first day!"
Kelley Yates, Martinsville, VA

"I obtained Rosehip Serum for my sister-in-law to use on her red scar left from laser surgery. She applied the serum faithfully twice a day. After not seeing her for several months, I noticed that the scar was completely gone. This is another great product."
A. Harcharik, Cherry Valley, IL

"I am sending you an order for the Lazarus Hair System. I was skeptical when my brother started using it last year, but I see now that his hair looks better than ever. It appears fuller, and his hairline has stopped receding. If it helps even a little, bring it on!"
TM, Charlottesville, VA

"I just wanted to say thank you!!! I will NEVER use liquid make up again. I am so pleased with the coverage. The results are beautiful!"

"I am so truly pleased with this makeup. My skin is now totally clear. I have been battling adult acne for about two years now. I cannot believe that I actually have beautiful clear skin. Also, I was afraid to use the Yellow Creme that you sent me as a free gift because I was afraid it would break me out but... it hasn't. Thanks again for such a wonderful product!!!!!"
Amber Yates, Biloxi, MS

"Nice things come in small packages. It was a delight to open the parcel flown all the way to Singapore as the items I ordered were wrapped with pretty paper. My on-line order was a breeze to make and the prompt response to my emails by Margaret was impressive. These gestures certainly demonstrate the high quality service that Abbey St Clare is committed to."

"I received my mineral makeup yesterday and I just love it!!!"
Verna Bailey, Lakeland, FL

"Thanks for your continued great service. Your acne skin care products are fantastic and I love the mineral makeup."
