Whenever I think of the circus (which, admittedly, is rarely), the first thing that comes to mind is Bruce Davidson's famous photograph of a forlorn clown smoking a cigarette and clutching a fistful of wilted flowers in the mud outside a ratty circus tent. Fittingly, I first saw this striking image on the cover of Heinrich Boll's 1963 novel, The Clown. The titular protagonist isn't the creepy backyard children's entertainer we've come to associate with the form. He's troubled and high-strung, and sees himself first and foremost as an artist — and something of a mystic, to boot. Judging by Duncan Wall's memoir/history, The Ordinary Acrobat: A Journey into the Wondrous World of the Circus, Past and Present, Boll's portrayal is far and away the more accurate one.
For Wall, and most Americans, the circus barely registers as a cultural entity. Of his limited childhood circus experience, Wall writes, "I can remember walking across the enormous asphalt parking lot with my father, hand in hand, past the rows of cars and the soot-stained trucks. … I remember watching the show with a mixture of confusion and boredom. The overweight acrobats wore out-of-style sequins. The tigers looked sluggish and distracted." It sounds more like a High-Stalinist carnival where attendees were forced to mime joy, but fits well with Davidson's stark photographic representation.
Wall decided to push past his first impression and dig a little deeper, ending up on a Fulbright fellowship at a French institution dedicated to teaching the theory and practice of the modern European circus. This is a far different animal than the grim American stereotype. Here, despite having no previous training in acrobatics, clowning, or even basic juggling, Wall set out to learn rudimentary circus skills and also to uncover some of the ancient trapeze regime's lesser-known historical touchstones.
From an anthropological standpoint, the circus isn't the easiest thing to research. As Wall writes, "The history of the circus has long suffered from neglect. Writing in the seventies, Edward Hoagland noted that the circus 'remains a private passion for children and loyal fans; among sophisticates it occupies a niche similar to that of primitive art.' That is still true today." He notes that the author of the world's only complete trapeze history worked, while he wrote it, as a ticket salesman at a train station in Bloomington, Ill., "where he also cleaned the bathrooms." The point is that the circus — strictly speaking, neither theater, art, sport nor entertainment — is ignored academically because it is so difficult to define and quantify.
Though an important and tantalizing move in the right direction, Wall's book suffers a bit from a similar identity problem. He uses his own experiences at the National Circus School as a springboard into historical digression, but the result is occasionally a frustrating superficiality in both realms. Whether he's talking about his time with the mercurial "godfather of modern juggling" Jerome Thomas, or Roman-era saltimbanques and the medieval proto-circus, the feeling sometimes is that there are too many balls in the air. The Ordinary Acrobat contains two or three solid books squeezed into a single volume.
That's not to say that Wall doesn't do an admirable job of pursuing the circus's road-show mysteries and endlessly winding paths. His accounts of "ghost hunting" — looking for bygone locations and artifacts — capture the sense of neglect and loss of the histories of circuses past. It's truly disheartening to read of his search for (and failure to find) the missing gravesite of Philip Astley, today known as one of the founders of the modern circus. Wall's reverence for the forgotten pioneers contrasts nicely with his begrudging admiration but barely-concealed suspicion of the Cirque du Soleil corporate machine.
But maybe Wall's contorted approach to his subject is the right one. When he first talks to Andre Riot-Sarcey, leader of an important French clown troupe called Les Nouveaux Nez, Riot-Sarcey quotes Henry Miller (a clown is a "poet in space") and explains that a "clown is a searcher. He's lost. He's looking for something, but he doesn't know what. The audience becomes his radar — his guide for how to behave." In that regard, The Ordinary Acrobatis an ambler, too. It isn't a conventional memoir, but the circus isn't a conventional subject, either.

College years include preparation for employment
Career preparation and opportunity are readily available for students when they enter Trevecca. The Office of Career Services offers workshops, job fairs, and one-on-one counseling intended to help students find the most appropriate career goals, internships, and employment.
One of those services took place on Thursday, September 25, when Career Placement Counselor Jan Harvey delivered a presentation to members of the Student Government Association, who had returned to school early in order to prepare for the new school year. Harvey, one of the speakers in the annual Leadership Summit for student leaders, encouraged students to build professional relationships with Christians and non-Christians and to learn to shift their focus from themselves to other people so that students can become valuable in the work culture. Harvey suggested ways that students can prepare now for future careers: get focused, complete self-awareness evaluations, prepare a one- or two-minute presentation about who they are, create a portfolio about one's accomplishments/activities, document leadership positions one filled, keep photographic journals of one doing the work. Harvey had the students complete a self-awareness evaluation that was designed to help them start thinking about what they have to offer an employer.
This week on the first day of classes in the new school year, the Office of Career Services hosted a job fair in the lobby of the Jernigan Student Center. Fourteen employers from the city recruited students for employment. Students applied with many organizations—including Toys 'R' Us, Walgreen's, FedEx, United Parcel Service, Pier 1 Imports, and United Methodist Publishing House.
Another career fair will be held in the spring semester, but in the meantime the Office of Career services will continue to offer students opportunities to prepare themselves for the work force. The Office of Career Services is open from 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M. and can be found on the Web at (http://www.trevecca.edu/student.life/career.services/students/placement.html).

SPOKANE-- Rescue crews in Spokane County have pulled seven bodies out of the Spokane River so far this year. These tragedies come after multiple warnings about river safety.
Officials are pleading for the public to take precautions when hitting the water.
It's been a very deadly summer on the Spokane River, and despite repeated warnings, rescue crews say at least half the people floating the river still aren't wearing life jackets.
Bill Clifford with Spokane Valley Fire says all too often people ignore the warning signs. "They get into the water after drinking or drinking while they're floating down the river. Those things don't mix very well together and sometimes people lose their lives."
One of the most common mistakes is skipping the life jacket. The Spokane County Sheriff's Marine Unit sees upwards of 100 life jacket violations on a busy day.

Pumpkin Cheesecake
The pumpkin train just keeps on rollin'…
Last week my mom told me that she was having a get together with some friends and wanted to have a nice dessert to serve, and could I make something for her. Like the good daughter I am, I said sure. She said she wanted something fall-ish and since it would be Halloween weekend, maybe something pumpkin-y. I immediately suggested pumpkin cheesecake since I've been waiting for an opportunity to make one, and she loved the idea. I wanted to base the cheesecake on the recipe that I used for the Fig and Almond Cheesecake with Crème Anglaise since it is, by far, the best cheesecake I have yet to make. I made some adjustments to account for the pumpkin, added a bunch of spices and used a gingersnap cookie crust to create this one. And… it was fabulous.
The pumpkin in the recipe keeps this cheesecake light and almost gives it the consistency of a mousse or chiffon – it's very light, smooth and airy. And fabulous. Did I mention that? The gingersnap crust pairs really well with the spices in the cheesecake and when you combine pumpkin and cream cheese, really, nothing can go wrong. This is great served with whipped cream or a caramel sauce, or both! This cheesecake would definitely be an impressive dessert to grace your Thanksgiving table, plus it can be made in advance!
One year ago: Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Three years ago: Peanut Butter Doggie Treats
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Yield: 12 to 16 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 55 to 65 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
For the Crust:
2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (about a 14-oz package of cookies)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Pinch of salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
32 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 cups (about a 15-oz can) canned pumpkin
4 eggs, at room temperature
2½ tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Double-wrap the bottom and outside of a 9-inch springform pan with heavy duty foil. Mix together the crust ingredients and press into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil for a water bath.
3. Beat together the cream cheese and the sugars on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, about 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin and mix on low until completely incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well until fully incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, cloves and allspice and mix on low to incorporate.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared crust. Tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Place the pan into a larger pan (a roasting pan is great for this) and pour the boiling water into the larger pan until it is about halfway up the springform pan.
5. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the middle still jiggles a little. Keeping the oven door closed, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest in the oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven, carefully remove it from the water bath, remove the foil and place the cheesecake on a wire rack to cool completely, about an additional 2 hours. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
6. Cover any leftover cheesecake with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Wrapped, the cheesecake can be frozen for up to 2 months.

106 Responses to "Pumpkin Cheesecake"
Been reading for awhile, have bookmarked many recipes (and tried several), but I think this is my first comment!
This made me think … I know you love cheesecake (and this one looks amazing!) and that you're a fan of David Leibovitz's ice cream recipes—as am I. I found this adaptation of his cheesecake ice cream, Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream. OMG, amazing. If it piques your interest, I would love to hear your take on it! (I want to stress that this is not my blog or recipe!)
Thanks for a great blog!
cream cheese and sweet pumpkin….mmm I want NAO! it looks fabulous!
Here's another fabulous pumpkin cheesecake recipe to try:
The praline-y topping is lovely.
I never had pumpkin cheesecake before, I made this one yesterday, my husband and I just had a piece it is out of this world, I didn't have gingersnap cookies so I had to use graham crackers I added a little bit of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice and ginger to the crust and mine did crack a little even with the water bath, that's ok, it gets eaten anyway. I will be making again for Thanksgiving. Thank you for the recipe.
YUM! looks so good! I just did a german pumpkin cheesecake myself…can't go wrong!
I'm going to plan on making this for Thanksgiving. Looks AMAZING! One thing though, care to share which brand of gingersnap cookies you used? I tried a recipe once using a gingersnap crust and it was just too overpowering. How is your's? I could always sub a graham cracker crust… Thanks for sharing! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your recipes and site!
I made 2 of these for Thanksgiving – we usually have 2 stops to make each Thanksgiving, so I decided to bring it to both families. Everyone loved them, in fact, the regular pumpkin pies didn't get touched at all! (Sorry). I served them with a choice of Salted Butter Caramel Sauce or Bourbon Caramel Sauce and it just put these desserts over the top. I'll definitely be making them again. Like you said, these are not your typical cheesecake – they are very light and fluffy. The tanginess of the cream cheese pairs very well with the pumpkin. My only problem was cutting them, the filling is so light that it was sticking to the knife a lot while slicing. The slices didn't always look as nice as yours did, but they were still wonderful. Finally, I decided to make the crusts with 1/2 gingersnaps and 1/2 graham crackers since some of my family wouldn't like the spiciness of the full recipe, and it worked just fine. I would also like to recommend an alternative to the foil on the bottom of the pan- an oven roasting bag (like for roasts or turkeys) works very well around the pan and has no chance (if the bag isn't ripped) of leaking at all. Works great, and can be re-used a few times. Thanks for the great recipe, Michelle.
Michelle, I made your pumpkin cheesecake for our Thanksgiving dessert
Oh My Goodness! It was fabulous! This is the best cheesecake recipe I have ever tried. I can't wait to try some of your others. I needed to add some pumpkin into our desserts and cheesecake is my family's absolute favorite. I found your blog from your google image, and I'm so glad that I did. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!
Ah – thank you for this recipe! I made it this weekend and it was delish! I was on the hunt for a beautiful, tall pumpkin cheesecake, and this totally fit the bill. When it said 2 lbs of cream cheese, I knew I was on the right track. No wimpy cheesecake here – it looks like it could be served in a restaurant! Mine took quite a bit longer to cook, though. Eventually, I got tired of waiting and cranked up the heat. It ended up looking a little brown on top, so to hide it, I slathered on some homemade apple butter. Not only did it help the cheesecake's aesthetics, but it also tasted great! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes – you are my go-to blog!
I just made this for my second time yesterday. The first time I baked in a water bath and it was perfect. I double wrapped it nice and tight in foil, but some water still got inside and soggy-ed up the crust a bit. I like the idea of using an oven bag! unfortunately I didn't read that comment until right now. The second time( yesterday) I did not use water bath and it did crack a bit on the top. I'm just going to whip up some cream cheese frosting to pipe around where the cracks are This cheesecake is WONDERFUL!
…I also did not leave it in the oven for an hour after. I hope that doesn't effect the outcome. I guess we shall find out
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was AMAZING! I garnished with whipped cream and candied pecans, which made for the perfect touch.
My only question is, how did you get your crust to stay up the sides? In the instructions it says to press the crust in the bottom, but in your photos the crust is up the sides of the cake. I tried to push the crust up with a drinking glass, but it kept crumbling. More butter perhaps?
We totally just shared your recipe with our followers for National Pumpkin Cheesecake day! http://www.facebook.com/yourstrulymepersonalshoppers
I made this to take over a friend's house for Thanksgiving.
I don't like cheesecake because of the heaviness, but LOVE this! It's more like a rich souffle…light and creamy….and the taste is wonderful.
It's easy to make.
I did the water bath, but it did crack a little.
This is the BEST cheesecake I've ever made.
Okay this is the BEST freaking thing I have ever tasted. I am a chocolate lover and have never liked cheesecake. So my friend made this and I thought "well I like pumpkin pie so I'll give it whirl"….well I ended up making my own the next day and then a week later…haha! This was my baby girl's first birthday cake because she loves it so! I have tried it with the water bath and it cracked both times but it is so delicious I don't mind a bit. My question is I just bought Wilton 4-inch springform pans (just to make this into mini cheesecakes…can you imagine the cuteness overload?). And I was reading other recipes and they say to bake 300F for 40-50 minutes….but that seems a bit long and low? Would you recommend keeping it at 325F (like you do for the cupcake size) and do 30-40? Just checking with what you think since you are my cheesecake guru. Seriously the best dessert ever! Thanks!
This looks perfect for fall! Fall is definitely my favorite season, and I get WAY too excited about everything pumpkin. My question is, can I bake a 1/2 batch in a pie pan? I don't have a springform pan, and quite frankly it would be a lot easier to keep it looking nice in a pie pan. Would I still use a water bath, and do you have any advice on how to adjust baking time? Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe. I made this for thanksgiving and my family now says its their favorite dessert!
I decided to make mini cheesecakes so they would be easier to serve. I didn't have to change very much. I just scooped a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into a muffin pan and flattened. Then baked for about five minutes. I ended up using almost 1/3 cup filling in each muffin cup and then baking for about 25 minutes. I didn't do a water bath so they had a few cracks but otherwise came out fine. It ended up making about 30 minis. I topped with caramel sauce and your cinnamon candied pecans. My family (who will not even touch pumpkin pie) raved about them!

Patient Comments: Pinched Nerve - Treatments
What was the treatment for your pinched nerve?
Comment from: MissNBR, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
I have had an L5-S1 disc bulge impinging on my right sacroiliac (SI) nerve for almost 6 years. I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, spinal injections and lots and lots of nerve medications that eventually made me so sick that I was hospitalized. I have struggled for 6 years. I am only 29 years old and this pain has robbed me and my family of my life as a normal functioning person. I have lost bladder control, can barely dress myself and barely walk. I hope every day I get operated on and can get my life back.
Comment from: momoftwo, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: April 22
I am a 31 year old female with an active lifestyle. I began to see a chiropractor for the pain in my neck and left arm. Besides adjusting my spine, she also does some electrical stimulation of the area, and traction on my neck. I do a number of different stretches 2-3 times a day, drink TONS of water, and apply ice when the pain is bad. This has really helped, though sitting in the car is still painful. She mentioned that when the source of my pain is no longer my arm, but only in one spot on my neck that I will be very close to recovery.
Comment from: Samhemi, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: January 21
I am a 37 year old female. I have had hip pain since an accident at 16.My pain started out (2009) as a burn in the lower back. 3 months later I couldn't sit up in bed or rollover. I had shooting pains down my leg especially the left one. My left foot was numb. I actually broke a toe and didn't know it. That's how numb! After an MRI, I was diagnosed with cracked vertebra; pinched nerves caused by a grade 3 spondololisthesis. I opted for surgery. I had a spinal fusion with all the hardware. The sharp leg pain stopped, my hip stopped hurting, and I can feel my feet! The only drawback is that now I have some nerve pain in my legs, burning and an ache, but it is well worth it to be rid of the rest.
Comment from: Jules, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 26
I have had a bad back for years now,a nd treated it myself with dencorub and a heat wheat bag, I tend to sit a lot on PC, or on bed to watch tv, and I have been getting a burning sensation in lower leg's and feet. I had an MRI and was told it was a pinched nerve in lower back and given Endep 10mg, I refuse to take these as they are an antidepressant with a lot of side effects I don't like. When I asked the chemist why I was given an antidepressant for my problem I was told that they discovered that Endep helped a pinched nerve,I wish I knew if that was true.
Comment from: Barb, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: April 24
I have been getting physical therapy for a pinched nerve for seven weeks. I had pain in my neck, shoulder, arm, elbow, and tingling in my index finger. I just started with anti-inflammatory meds, along with physical therapy. My range of motion has increased, but the pain is still present. It eases, and then returns.
Comment from: gimpy, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: April 02
I nodded off in a low-back chair and my head snapped backward. Gradually, I felt pain first on my right shoulder, down to my tricep, and to my hand. On the other side I felt the same thing. This went on for a couple of months before I decided to stretch my neck to my chest and rotated it slowly to both sides. The pain is decreasing gradually.

There could be hope for a mall that has sat empty for years. Investors have come forward with one exciting plan after another for the gigantic Bellevue Center mall, but each has fizzled.
But a social media campaign may help breathe new life into the old property as a local teenager is leading a charge to revitalize it.
"It was silly that nothing's being done here when there's so much support for it, so I started it to see if people had the same ideas," said organizer Kevin Prusinowski.
He created a Facebook page called "Bring Back the Bellevue Center Mall," and it is rapidly growing in popularity.
"For a while, I only had about 16 supporters. Then, last Sunday, it jumped to 100. I saw on Monday that I had almost 1,000," he said.
Just a few days after that, the page has gotten more than 3,000 "Likes" and counting.
But city council members say it will take a lot more than Facebook support.
"I wish it was as easy to arrange financing and tenants for a new facility or replacement facility as it is to attract followers," said Councilman Charlie Tygard.
Leaders say other shopping centers like Nashville West, Green Hills and Cool Springs have taken a lot of the business that Bellevue would need. Plus, they say the mall format as we know it now is a thing of the past.
"The mall in its present form will not come back. Closed-in malls are dinosaurs. They are too costly to maintain," Tygard said.
It's been an ongoing five-year battle to try to revitalize the area, and planners say they are cautiously optimistic.
The current proposal is to transform the mall into a multi-use development, but council members say they will not release a timeline or a list of tenants until the developer, Crosland Southeast, gives the green light.

The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) supports communities, known as Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), with limited access to primary, dental or mental health care by providing financial support for loan repayment and scholarships for professionals working at NHSC-approved sites. Through its Loan Repayment Program (LRP), NHSC is offering to repay qualifying educational loans in exchange for service to underserved areas.
Initial Award Amounts
LRP offers two levels of funding, based on the need of the community a provider serves, as defined by the HPSA score. HPSA scores range from 1 to 26, based on factors such as population-to-provider ratio, percent below poverty, travel time or distance to closest source of care and other factors. Sites with an HPSA score of 14 or above can receive up to $60,000 depending on the clinician's service commitment. Sites with HPSA scores below 14 can receive up to $40,000, again dependent on the clinician's service commitment.
Service Commitment
Applicants can elect a full-time or half-time clinical practice. A full-time commitment is defined as a minimum of 40 hours per week for at least 45 weeks per year. The 40-hour week may be done over four days, but no more than 12 hours of work may occur in a 24-hour period. Applicants do not get credit for more than 40 hours in a week or for on-call hours with no direct patient service.
The half-time clinical practice requires a minimum of 20 hours per week (not to exceed 39 hours per week) for at least 45 weeks per year. Similar to the full-time criteria, work can be done in two days with no more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period. Also, as with full-time practice, there is no credit for more than 20 hours or on-call time with no direct patient service.
Both the full-time and half-time clinical practices have other service commitment criteria depending on the type of clinician.
Eligible Disciplines
NHSC LRP applicants must have the appropriate professional license or certification for the state in which their NHSC-approved site is located. Primary care specialties for physicians include family medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, general internal medicine, geriatrics, general pediatrics and psychiatry. For physician assistants, eligible practice areas include adult, family, pediatric, psychiatry, mental health, geriatrics and women's health. Primary care certified nurse practitioners' NHSC-approved primary care specialties are adult, family, pediatric, psychiatric and mental health, gerontological and women's health. Other eligible disciplines include certified nurse-midwives, psychiatric nurse specialists, dentistry, dental hygienists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors and marriage and family therapists.
NHSC-Approved Sites
NHSC clinicians must work at an NHSC-approved site in an HPSA. NHSC-approved sites are outpatient facilities providing primary medical, dental and/or mental and behavioral health services. Until recently, critical access hospitals (CAHs) could not be NHSC-approved sites. Under the previous NHSC site policy, CAHs had limited eligibility. During that time, only the outpatient clinic was eligible to be an approved site and, in general, clinicians did not receive credit towards fulfilling their service obligations for time spent in the inpatient hospital. Beginning in fiscal year 2012, NHSC will approve an entire CAH—including the emergency room, wing bed unit and skilled nursing facility—as a service site under a three-year pilot program in an effort to meet the needs of these underserved communities. In addition, the clinicians' time in the inpatient hospital now counts towards their service obligations. The award amount, service commitment and eligible disciplines at approved CAHs may vary from other NHSC-approved sites.
Additional Information
The 2012 application cycle is now open, and those interested in participating in the loan repayment program need to apply by May 15, 2012, to be eligible for funding. Awards will be made to applicants on or before September 30, 2012. Applicants that will be working at a site with an HPSA score of less than 14 only will get funds after funds are given to those working at sites with an HPSA score of 14 or more.
Facilities interested in becoming NHSC-approved sites should contact their State Primary Care Office, prior to submitting an application, to get an HPSA designation. There is no deadline for CAHs applying to become an NHSC-approved service site; however, the approval process takes six to eight weeks. For more information, visit the NHSC website or call 877.313.1823 to speak to a state representative.
If you need further guidance or assistance, please contact your BKD advisor or Craig Steen.

If you could, what kind of superpower would you choose?
I suppose many of us would like to have some superpowers making us even more special than what we are now. Do you want to be invisible, do you want to speak 500 languages fluently, what would you like to know? Be creative!!

Apr 3 2013: Personally I believe that we already have superpowers.
The theory of evolution tells us that we are a species of ape, yet we can do things that are far beyond the capabilities of our bodies. We can; lift great weights, fly, talk to people on the other side of the planet. We are super apes.
As for what new super powers there are lots that I would choose: To travel through space, to live a healthy engaged life beyond one hundred.
The great thing about being a super ape is that, if enough of us want something, we can make it happen. We can create new super powers.

- Great Time!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Another great meal at Ocean's Club. My husband and are frequent diners and big foodies so we love this place. Our server Eric was excellent. We will be requesting him next time. First time having the butter cake and it was to die for. Great food, great atmosphere - one of our favorites!Special Features:
- Good But Not Great..zonie169Dined on 9/13/2014The food was good not spectacular! The fish we chose was all very fresh. After waiting for a couple of weeks for our reservations I was very disappointed in the overall atmosphere, every chair in the dining room around us was falling apart ( all the corners are fraying & ripped) I just think for a restaurant that charges $$$$ as much as it does they could afford the upkeep on the furniture!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 9/13/2014Have visited the Ocean Club many times. As in the past, it was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding ExperiencefinediningseekrDined on 9/10/2014We were seated promptly. The service provided by everyone was impeccable. The food was extraordinary. The ambiance was excellent, although I did feel that the two tops were a bit too close together. While expensive the experience is worth every penny. We will come here every time we want something special. We have eaten in many fine restaurants and Mastros Ocean Club is now at the very top of the list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- G00d but not outstandingNormDined on 9/9/2014The food was good but at the price should have been outstanding. While the sevice was slow, when it happened it was very good. The noise made it difficult to have a conversation without leaning forward or shouting.
- Top Notch ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/6/2014Great food, great vibe, will definitely visit again next time in Scottsdale.Special Features:
- You can't beat itmjsiegelVIPDined on 9/6/2014There may be restaurants that are as good as the Ocean club but I have not found any that are better. To me, its the best dining in the Valley.Special Features:
- RickRickDined on 9/5/2014Everything was just great with the food, service. It was almost too noises however for conversation. Having said that I would return during less busy times for a more quiet dinner experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mastros Ocean ClubOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/5/2014Great service, excellent food and vibrant bar scene. Dined here from out of town for a friends bachelorette and definitely would recommend and come back again! I had requested for a private area since the reviews I read online said the bar area gets pretty noisy on weeknights. The restaurant were able to accommodate the request and even threw in a free dessert at the end for our special occasion. This was their signature warm butter cake and it did not disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- over the topluv2eatVIPDined on 9/3/2014if you like it 'over the top' this is the spot for you big $$$ big portions very generous cocktails!! very good food quality we always have a fun time...service was excellentSpecial Features:
- FantasticcarmellatteDined on 9/3/2014We had a petite filet and he had a bone in rib eye. They were absolutely perfect. Our sides were mac and cheese and cream of spinich. The mac and cheese was the best I have ever had. I would recommend Mastros. The service was impeccableSpecial Features:
- Stay Awayremember911Dined on 9/2/2014This was the second time that I have been to the Ocean Club. The first was a not good. On this last occasion, our anniversary I ordered the swordfish. I asked if it was fresh and receive a responding "of course". The swordfish look beautiful, with perfect grill marks. I took one bite and knew that it had been held too long, it tasted old. The drinks were good, and the bread basket was the best part of the meal. Working in NYC I have dined at some of the best seafood restaurants. I could always get a table at Le Bernadin, The Sea Grill at Rock Center, et al. l I will never go back again two bad experiences is enough.
- Not as Good as I HopedTLB007CADined on 8/31/2014We were not able to sit at the actual bar (fault, NOT the restaurant's) so we sat in the lounge - which was fine. Our table was wobbly, so we asked that they fix it and our waitress just looked at me as if I asked her to chop off her legs. So that got fixed, another person came by and filled our water glasses so quickly we didn't get a chance to order sparking water and when we did, there wasn't room on the table as we each had ordered an appetizer. The crab cocktail is perfection! The beef carpaccio was bland, and the small was huge. The $33 for the SIDE of gnocchi was NOT worth 1/4th of that cost, it was completely overcooked and very bland. My filet Oscar was average, nothing to write home about. Sad to say, Steak 44 wins.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/30/2014Another excellent evening at Mastro's Ocean Grill on our recent visit to Scottsdale. Great food, great wine, great company & great service! Special thanks to Chris for his excellent service. Can't wait to return again! Thank you for an enjoyable evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousAllieDined on 8/30/2014We had a lovely time at Mastro's Ocean Club. We started off with shrimp cocktail & crab cocktail. It arrived on dry ice & was delicious. The bread basket was to die for. We ordered the filet, halibut, & the herb roasted chicken. Every entrée was amazing. My favorite side was the Gorgonzola Mac & cheese. You must order the butter cake for dessert. It's epic. Yes, this is obviously expensive, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/30/2014Been to Mastro's Ocean Club several times! Never disappointed! Always excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfriendly hostess and rude serverChrisDined on 8/28/2014Hostess was rude demand that we sit at our table and not finish our drinks in the bar and our server well that to long of a story to put on here. Not good
- MehFoodiefoodfoodDined on 8/24/2014My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and we were less than impressed. There were a total of 5-6 tables full in the restaurant and they sat everyone on top of one another. The waitress was pretentious and balked at our choice of ice water as opposed to sparkling or still. The food came out quickly which was nice but we had to crack our crabs & lobsters ourselves after the waitress emphasized to us a number of times that she would do all of the work for us. If I am going to pay over $100 for a seafood tower and $62 dollars a pound for crab legs, the least they can do is crack them for me. The Salt Cellar in Tempe is a much better choice and the food and service are exceptional!Special Features:
- Expected MoreOverratedDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at a amazing Scottsdale spa resort. We love steak and seafood and planned a romantic dinner at the Ocean Club but was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the food was good overall. They did give us a free dessert to celebrate our anniversary, ut the cake was cold and dry and they had they nerve to add ice cream. The Ocean Club does not compare to the Mastro's Steakhouse in Scottsdale, which by the way, is phenomenal; food, service, and ambiance. For us, it's unlikely that we would come back, but will definitely patronize both Mastro steakhouses.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014Outstanding service. The food was amazing and rated best dinner out yet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ocean ClubLove2eatDined on 8/20/2014This restaurant has AMAZING food and service! The prices are really high...but, everything seems gourmet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Great food and service for the wife's birthday celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but loudOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Excellent food and excellent service. Great drinks and wine list. Ambiance was more for a fun energetic night out rather than quiet romantic evening for two (which is what we were looking for). We were sat right in a corner in a bustling corner near a high traffic area and also next to people who were watching cartoons loudly on a cell phone while a band was playing in the bar. Will be glad to return for a group dinner or to have cocktails and a casual meal in the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary family eventOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Great to have some of our immediate family together for a memorable family event, involving three generations having great time togetherSpecial Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Lively bar scene. Wondered if most where there for a happy hour. Dining experience: Attentive waiter. Salads-disappointing. Our table had seafood and steak. All very rich. Possibly over use of butter?? Upset stomach that night, couldn't sleep. Astoundingly over priced for experience. Unlikely to return. Bring wallet to restrooms for attendant who turns on water, hands a towel, tip jar obvious.Special Features:
- 32nd AnniversaryProudDadDined on 8/14/2014Once again, Mastro's was perfect. The service was impeccable. The food is rich and decadent. Every mouthful is it's own celebration and you sit and wonder how it can possibly be so good. With standards this high, I would never risk going anywhere else for a special occasion. This is why we keep coming back again and again. Thank you Mastro's.Special Features:
- One of the best in Scottsdale!HappyVIPDined on 8/12/2014Every time we come here, I feel like the experience exceeds all expectations. Wait staff, food, music, everything. I absolutely love this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place.BiannecDined on 8/12/2014Nice for special occasions. Not a place you can eat at everyday unless you're rich. The sea bass is the best and love the elder martini. It was delicious. Thank you for my free dessert in honor of my birthday. Until next time 😃Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/12/2014Had a better experience last time when had a better waiter and better table. Table of 4 next to us was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves in conversation. Food was good but not spectacular like last time. Ambience can change everything…….even the taste of the food.Special Features:
- Business DinnerBrianCDined on 8/11/2014Food was excellent, staff was knowledgeable and attentive. I will be back!Special Features:
- Fine MealMeatguy1VIPDined on 8/11/2014Good service and excellent food. The prices are a little over the top, and the wine selections while good, were spendy. It is a very good location and I might return, but I just wonder how prices can go before it is too high. In my opinion the food and service were excellent, but the menu items are overpriced.Special Features:
- Bachelorette PartyMiriahDined on 8/9/2014We came to Scottsdale from Nashville for a bachelorette weekend and brought a party of 10 here for dinner on a Saturday night - I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Mastro's Ocean Club!!! They not only accommodated us, but when we were late, they were EXTREMELY understanding (getting 10 females ready on time is damn near impossible!). The food was AMAZING. The service was even more incredible. Everyone and everything was PERFECT. Mastro's called today to thank us for dining with them and to me, it's the little things that are so important! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant - just know - it's not cheap. Not even a little bit. But it's worth EVERY dollar!!!!Special Features:
- Food and Dining ExperienceLuciaDined on 8/9/2014I had the giant lobster tail. It was a bit rubbery. I could not cut it with a knife. A couple to the left of us were having a heated argument. The woman kept saying," I will get louder." The girls at the front door looked very uptight and were not very friendly.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/7/2014Excellent service! Great food! Very much attention to detail! Impressed with next day follow up!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could not have been better!DschreyerteviewsDined on 8/6/2014The attention to detail was perfect. From the moment my wife and I walked in to the moment we finished our meal, we were completely satisfied with everything. The waiter was great and we did not feel rushed. The food was fantastic and we would recommend this dining experience to anyone. Can't wait to come back to Scottsdale so we can visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mickie is the BEST!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/5/2014Our server, Mickie (sp?) was a WONDERFUL server! She took care of us and was very attentive. She made our experience EXCELLENT!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soapy shrimp and rushed experienceFargDined on 8/1/2014We visited here for a special vacation night dinner after I had been here years ago and enjoyed it. This experience however was not enjoyable. Our server rushed us the ought the dinner asking for our order as he placed the seafood sampler down on our table. We were in and out of there in 75 minutes and had appetizers, a full course dinner with sides and 2 glasses of wine each. The two couples on either side of us were there before us and were still there after we left. To top it off we had two jumbo shrimp with our seafood tower and one if them had obviously been doused in soapy water. It was absolutely disgusting. My ribeye was just 'okay' and nothing special. I've had far better at many other restaurants. Overpriced for the experience!
- Not impressedAllyssaDined on 7/26/2014We were not impressed with Mastro's Ocean Club. The food was extremely overpriced for what we got. My husband ordered the 12 oz filet and, although it was a nice cut of meat, it was rather tasteless and slightly overcooked. I ordered the sea scallops. Two of the scallops were very good, but the other two tasted like ammonia. We ordered the lobster mashed potatoes to share and for $35 for a side, they were just so-so. The ambiance was also not that impressive. We were place at a table for two that was so close to the tables on either side of us, it felt like we were dining with those patrons as well. It didn't make for a very intimate dining experience. Overall, we were not impressed and will not return to or reccommend Mastro's Ocean Club.
- BDH1VIPDined on 7/25/2014Service was on point, but the food lack flavor and finesse. Just a boring meal at a high price point. Great bar scene though.
- Fair, but not WOWEDlovefinefoodinAZDined on 7/25/2014Food was good, but not great. Expected to be WOWED. Service was great and atmosphere was great but overall food was disappointing. Fish was cold by the time it came to the table. Seemed like a $250 dinner I could have fixed at home for $35.Special Features:

Review of the year: mergers timeline
16 December 2013
Upon entering Hasbro Europe's west London HQ, I pass Mr Potato Head, Action Man and a colourful My Little Pony display. The company's legal director Delli Mireskandari says that Hasbro - also the maker of classic games such as Monopoly, Twister and Cluedo - is a fun place to work. Her recent assignments have included a promotional project with pop group Liberty X. Fun indeed.
But it is not all child's play for Mireskandari and Hasbro's senior vice-president and legal counsel Nigel Hutton. A typical day for the duo can throw up all manner of legal issues, ranging from employment issues to acquisitions.
Recently, Hutton and Mireskandari steered Hasbro through the high-profile price-fixing investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), which started with a dawn raid at the company's headquarters in May 2001. The OFT accused retailers Littlewoods and Argos of entering into anticompetitive agreements with Hasbro between 1999 and May 2001. Hasbro, the UK's largest toy company, was granted 100 per cent leniency on its £15.5m fine because it provided crucial evidence that initiated the investigation and cooperated fully with the OFT. In November 2002, however, it was fined £4.95m for entering into price-fixing agreements with 10 distributors that prevented them from selling Hasbro toys below list price. In February 2003 the OFT ruled against Argos and Littlewoods, imposing record fines on the retailers. Argos was fined £17.28m and Littlewoods £5.37m - the biggest fines imposed since the OFT was given greater powers under the Competition Act 1998. Both retailers are challenging the OFT's decision.
"One of the lessons we learned from the OFT investigation was that despite having a competition law compliance policy that worked very well, we as a department still need to ensure that people are constantly reminded of it," says Hutton. "As a result of the OFT investigation we've done a lot more to reinforce our competition law policy by organising more training."
Although Hutton has some competition law experience, the significance of the investigation meant that Hasbro sought assistance externally, specifically from Denton Wilde Sapte partners Polly Weitzman and Jonathan Tatten. Hutton says that he was pleased with the quality of Denton's advice. However, as the OFT carried out the investigation under the new powers it gained under the Comp-etition Act 1998, both Dentons and Hasbro's in-house legal team were "feeling around in the dark", explains Hutton. "Given that it was an unknown quantity at the time, I think together with Dentons we manoeuvred our way around the new legislation very well," he adds.
Hutton heads a six-strong legal team, with four lawyers based in London and one each in France and Switzerland. Together, the team is responsible for advising Hasbro on legal issues arising in Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The company has a separate legal function based in the US, covering North America.
When Hutton joined Hasbro 10 years ago the company did not have an international legal function and only had a contract lawyer based in London. Since then he has expanded the team to ensure that it can handle the main categories of work the company generates.
The team's remit covers most areas, including intellectual property (IP) and licensing. Hutton and Mireskandari handle everything else, including employment matters, product liability, product recall, corporate and commercial work. But major litigation and transactional work is typically outsourced.
Commenting on the size of the team, Hutton says: "It depends on how quickly the company grows in the future - and I think there's still room for it to grow. But like most companies at the moment, cost control is a big issue. Consequently, I'm not planning on growing the team at the moment and if we need more resource we will use outside resources."
In addition to Dentons, Hasbro has relationships with Freshfields and Wragge & Co, which advise the company on acquisitions and disposals, and IP litigation respectively. Where possible, Hutton advocates instructing provincial firms in order to control external legal expenditure, hence the relationship with Wragges. "I'm trying to buy cost-effective legal services. So one of the concepts I'm looking at is to use provincial law firms which have a lower cost base," says Hutton. "I almost take it for granted that the big provincial firms can provide the same quality of advice, but at a lower charge-out rate."
Mireskandari supports Hutton's phil-osophy, although she argues that provincial firms are lacking in one department. "One of the problems I've noticed is that we don't get as many legal updates or seminars from them, which is important for an in-house department," she says. "I wouldn't necessarily want to travel to Birmingham or Watford for a seminar," she adds.
Hasbro also uses niche employment firm Fox Williams for employment law and human resources advice. Recently, the company formed a relationship with Manches in a move to slash its external legal spend. "We're experimenting with a couple of local provincial firms so we'll still have to wait to see if it works," says Mireskandari.
US-based Hasbro Inc was founded in 1923 by two brothers, Henry and Helal Hassenfeld. The company, originally named Hassenfeld Brothers, first sold textile remnants, but soon moved into school supplies such as pencils. Today, Hasbro's annual worldwide turnover exceeds $3bn (£1.79bn).
Historically, Hasbro has grown through acquisition and has relied heavily on IP from film distributors, selling toys off the back of blockbusters such as Star Wars. But according to Hutton, the company's new strategy is to concentrate on core brands. "The idea is to put much more research and development and marketing efforts behind our own core brands. The break-even point is lower on these products because we're not paying licence fees (to the film distributors)," explains Hutton.
In the future, Hutton also expects to spend more time dealing with issues arising out of Sarbanes-Oxley, which imposes additional audit-compliance obligations on US companies and a higher duty of care on in-house counsel. "In-house counsel now fulfil more of a watchdog role," says Hutton. Confirmation that life at Hasbro might be fun, but it's not just one long party.

Manufactured by the legendary Remington Arms Company, this product is brand new, nickel-plated brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is a staple range and target practice ammunition used by many law enforcement agencies and avid shooters.
In 1816 Eliphalet Remington produced his own rifle in his smithing shop which was superior to commercially available rifles of the day. Ever since then, Remington has been leading the charge in technological innovation bringing superior products to the market.
Note: Remington's bullet type designation "metal case" is essentially the equivalent of full metal jacket.

Thanks, done a wooded path now with the set of textures below. The textures came from CGTextures.com and made seamless using my tiling script. Its really not all that difficult to do.
It seems that the challenge rules have changed and there is no limit on the number of tiles to produce so tell me, what shapes of tile path do you need ?
Also, I am sure you get the idea now - what texture types do you think would be a good idea. I might try cobbles on grass for a city base next.

By Edward Lindsey
Related commentary: Integrate, don't resegregate
The exhaustive efforts of the House and Senate Reapportionment Committees, their Chairmen Roger Lane and Mitch Seabaugh, and the Joint Reapportionment Office laid the groundwork for the Georgia General Assembly last week to conclude its redistricting special session in the shortest time in recent memory.
Our work constitutionally required that newly drawn state legislative and congressional districts be equal in population, which by necessity will have both geographic and partisan impacts.
According to the 2010 census, North Georgia and the outer metro suburbs of Atlanta grew dramatically over the past decade while the state's urban cores and rural South and east Georgia fell behind.
Generally, this meant traditional Democratic strongholds lost population and Republican areas gained.
For instance, of the 20 lowest-populated state House districts in Georgia, 19 were held by Democrats. By contrast, 19 of the 20 largest state House districts were held by Republicans. The figures for state Senate and congressional seats are similar.
As a result, 14 Democratic state representatives and senators in low-population areas inside the Atlanta metro perimeter, and in rural Georgia, will face pairings in their primaries next summer. However, eight South Georgia Republicans also will face the same fate due to slow growth in their area.
The new district maps also meet the requirements of the federal Voting Rights Act, or VRA. The redistricting plans were created in accordance with guidelines issued by the Obama Justice Department and are in compliance with U.S. Supreme Court case law. They preserve in the state House and state Senate — and even slightly increase in Congress — the number of African-American "majority-minority" districts that Georgia currently enjoys.
As a result of these efforts, multiple political scientists agree that Georgia has avoided any merited claims of retrogression under the VRA.
Our charge in redistricting was not to preserve the past but to ensure that we reflect Georgia's present, and guide our state into the future. We have done that.
Despite baseless criticism, the redistricting plans we passed are constitutional and legal and based on the population and political realities that exist today in Georgia.
Rep. Edward Lindsey, R-Atlanta, is the Georgia House majority whip.

This has not been mentioned anywhere! Please read on. Many, if not most, of the Republicans who participated in the latest exercise in gerrymandering, er, "redistricting," were actively involved in the precisely same exercise ten years ago. Yes, think about it! A ton of Democrats either were pressured into changing parties (or saw the future plainly) right around year 2000. (Sonny Perdue was a big time former Democrat himself!) Yep. These guys (the career politicians we need desperately to rid ourselves of) already have experience in "screwing" the opposing party. They know how to game the system. They've already done it. They're just on the other side now. It's a matter of which way the wind blows, not what's best for Georgians. Wake up people!

Wise Metals Group LLC, with some key business indicators improving but a shaky financial structure, has bought itself time by playing its political card as an employer of 1,000 people at an aluminum sheet mill in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
Spurred in part by a rating service comment that "the company's current liquidity level is insufficient for near-term operations and to meet the debt service requirements for the remainder of 2006," Wise played host to Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and the chief executive officer of Retirement Systems of Alabama, David Bronner.
"The governor was quite impressed by our people and our operations," David D'Addario, Wise's chairman and chief executive officer, said. "He introduced us to Dr. Bronner."

I've had a bottle of this for so long, and I just never ever reach for it. The first few times I used this "eye make-up remover", it seemed to leave a ton of make-up behind (especially mascara, and I don't even wear waterproof mascaras) and burned my eyes. Even after wasting 3 cottons per eye, I'd still wake up to raccoon eyes and mascara flakes - so obviously it's not only wasteful, but terribly ineffective at doing what it's supposed to.
It feels like water which is nice, but again, doesn't remove much aside from maybe some powder eyeshadow or non-tenacious eyeliner. But if I wear my usual eyeliner and mascara, forget it. Switched to oil (jojoba, mineral, etc) or oil cleansers (Softymo White), which remove everything without that weird silicone residue eye make-up removers tend to leave. And doesn't leave a trace of eyeliner or mascara on my face. Much better!
No repurchase, considering I can't even use up what I already bought.
More reviews by emilyintheband
Works well, but does not remove mascara like I would like for it to...
Not for me...I have sensitive skin and I thought something with camomile would calm my skin...I used it yesterday to remove the eye-liner and my skin was burning and sticky...weird...I will keep using my "Simple" one...
Seems to remove eye makeup pretty well, but stings my eyes while using it, so it doesn't seem too gentle after all...
Gentle yes, effective? Not as much as I would like. While this product didn't cause any breakouts and didn't sting my eyes, it didn't remove my make up very well either. It was very hard to remove mascara and dark colored eyeshadows with this product. It really just smeared them around, making clean up harder. I wouldn't repurchase this.
This is kind of a "meah" product to me. I haven't really decided whether it's a winner or loser in my books but I know I won't be repurchasing it again, so maybe it's a loser... Maybe? Any ways! I like how it removes majority of my eye makeup in one swipe (leaving the cotton pad on my eye for about 10 seconds, then swiping).
Now the first time I used it, it burned my eyes SO much. It was excruciatingly painful and then there was this burning sensation around my eyes as well. I don't know if my eyes were sensitive that day but it actually hurt that bad, lol.
I would use it on and off but I did like using it when I had to take off my waterproof mascara, it came off easier that way minus the burning sensation. I really like using it to take off my face makeup, two thumbs up for that one... No burning sensation.
I think the first time I used it though, it was probably the mascara that was burning my eyes mixing with the remover because after using it a few times, there was no burning in my eyes. Although... There was still a burning sensation around my eyes, not sure why yet.
The packaging is pretty simple and cute, I like. The remover is more of a watery-oil based remover, I like. The scent is meah, I don't know if I like. The price was fab, I basically got this lil guy for about $4 during the Christmas season so I bought a lot, hoping I'd like it. Which I don't really mind it. I did use it again today and it still left a burning sensation around my eyes again but it was bearable since I feel like I'm already immune to it.
Overall! This makeup remover is fab for removing makeup ON your face. Now when it comes to the eye area and removing makeup around your eyes, definitely a no-no. But I mean what's the point of a makeup remover when you can't remove makeup around your eyes right?
If you're curious, I would say give it a try, maybe you'll end up liking it more than I did but please be aware when you're using it around the eye area... You might wanna prepare yourself for a burning sensation.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
WOAH! im surprised with all the negativity here! Ive been using this for ...... i dunno ? I wanna say like 8 years. I have never had a problem with it stinging my eyes. and I have sensitive acne skin. I like this product mainly because it gets the job done and doesnt leave a thick sticky gunky residue after. I normally shower or wash makeup off my face with soap and water, and then use this to remove the waterproof eyeliner that didnt come off.
there is no need for me to wash the remover off once ive used it. I am able to moisturize and continue with my beauty routine all over.
I buy these when they have their buy 2 get 1 free deals.
I have never had a problem with this product! it's soft and gentle on my eyes and gets the makeup off really well. I still use it to this day and I haven't had any reactions to it. the smell is really soothing as well!
This product burned the skin around my eyes so bad that I ended up making a doctor appointment to make sure it wasn't an allergic reaction. I had to slather on aquaphor day and night to get rid of the red puffy dried skin.
This is a review for this product:
Claims - True or False?
1) Quickly and gently removes eye makeup: False
2) Conditions skin: N/A
3) Lashes and lids feel soft and clean: False
4) Fragrance-free: Partially true
A soft opaque plastic bottle. Packaging is pretty much identical to their shower gels, just without clear plastic. The cap opens pretty easily, there is a hole at the top to dispense product; this method of dispensing product is not ideal for the liquid formula as too much product comes out.
A watery solution that foams up when shaken, clear on the skin, slight fragrance that does not appear to be added but is most likely the natural scent of one or more ingredients in the product. The scent is light enough to not be an issue for me. Feels very light on the skin, no oiliness or heaviness. Similar to a micellar cleanser but with actual foam.
In terms of its ability to remove makeup, this product performs at an average level. It removes eyeshadow very easily, but doesn't remove non-waterproof eyeliner and mascara as easily (which I noticed with micellar cleansers as well). It takes more time to remove these and more product usually. It doesn't leave the eye feeling gunky or dry, no blurred vision, although I did still get black goop in my eyes from the mascara/eyeliner. In my opinion this would work better as a clean-up product when applying makeup because it doesn't run everywhere and would leave minimal residue. However, on my skin this product burned tremendously. When first used it made my skin burn, itch, and slightly sting where I was rubbing the product - especially near the lashes. I thought that maybe it was the rubbing/wiping and not the product itself, so I tried it again later on and just pressed it on my eye without moving it. After a few seconds it started to burn my skin again, and the longer I left it the more it burned. It also left a slightly sticky residue on my skin, most likely due to the SLS in the product. This would be easily rinsed off, although directions do not indicate that rinsing is required or at least recommended after use. The irritation is most likely from the chamomile itself, as I've never experienced skin irritation from the other ingredients in the product and have never really used products with chamomile in them before. Otherwise it could even just be the way the ingredients are formulated together.
Bang for your Buck:
The website sells this remover for ~$10USD for 250ml (8.4oz). Not that much is needed overall to remove makeup, so it is on par with other makeup removers. I don't know what kind of sales it goes on, as I received it in a large tote bag with other products (a promotional gift bag).
Final Consensus:
Ignoring the irritation the product caused, the results were just average. I am not a huge fan of their face care products though, and this is no exception. For those who wear light makeup or just need something to remove makeup with minimal residue, this could be worth trying out, but if you have sensitive skin or tend to experience allergies to floral ingredients, I would not recommend this product.
* Overall Rating: 2/5
