Simone Pérèle was like a Religious Conversion!
"You guys turned me on to Simone Pérèle, and as a hard to fit 34E, Simone Pérèle was like a religious conversion! Thanks again for creating such a wonderful shopping resource for those of us who live (sigh, "lived") in the hinterlands. You provide a wonderful service in a comfortable atmosphere." -- Lisa P.

L'Occitane Skin Care Products
"For many years, I have had a problem with severe itching, scaling, and redness around my eyes and on my nose. I tried over the counter products and none of them seemed to help. I finally went to a dermatologist who told me I had facial dandruff and that it could not be cured, but controlled. He gave me a prescription for a steroid cream that reduced the itching but did nothing for the scaling and redness. One day my wife and my daughter's suggestion took me to About Face. I told the young lady at the counter what my issues were. After consulting with the owner, she suggested I try a L'Occitane product. She instructed me how to use it and away we went. That has been probably six months ago. It took about a week, but the scales, itching and redness have gone away. At first I thought this product was a little pricey but the relief it has given me is priceless. I am no longer embarrassed to go out in public or notice the scales falling onto the front of my shirt at work. Great product, great store, keep up the good work, and thank you so very much." -- George F.
Whish Shave Regimen
"I have always had such a difficult shaving experience; I was never able to shave without my legs being left with razor burn, I was not able to apply lotion on my legs without the presence of little red bumps, and sometimes was even left with the occasional ingrown hairs. From the first time that I used the Whish collection my entire view on shaving and post shaving completely changed. My legs look and feel amazing - I've actually had people come up to me and ask me what I am using! I no longer have any irritation, my legs are silky smooth, and I also have less hair on my legs as a result of using the Whish Hair Inhibitor. All of the products are so mild and moisturizing, not to mention that they smell delicious too! It's so great to encounter a product that lives up to it's claims!" -- Brittany O.
TASK Essential for Men
"As co-owner of a predominantly women's boutique, Leeann gives me very little "budget" to bring in men's products (kidding honey!). Honestly though, I do bring in men's products when I find an exceptional line that fits the exclusivity and uniqueness of our boutique. One such product, and our principal men's-only line, is TASK Essential Swiss Cosmetics. I've tested and used every product in the line, and think TASK is one of the best men's cosmetics collections on the market. The TASK line contains a wide array of products, many of which I use daily. The line's fragrance is masculine, but not overpowering, and there's something for men of all ages. I use the shower gel every day, and like it for its lather and no-nonsense clean rinse. There's a foam shave cream and after a hard day of working in the dirt and grit, the Cleansing Face wash, a detoxifying foaming cleansing gel with Ginkgo Biloba, is tough and refreshing. I love the deodorant stick, which is hypoallergenic, aluminum, alcohol, and paraben free, and it actually works. When I need that extra slap in the morning, I spray on the Oxywater. This both oxygenates and hydrates the skin and leaves me feeling cool and refreshed. I use the O2 Active Moisturizer daily, which doesn't leave an oily residue. Great for our dry, Alaskan winters. For wrinkles and other age related issues, there's the O2 Anti-Ageing Treatment which contains anti-oxidants, active O2 and a sunscreen to handle the extra task at hand. After a hard weekend of playing, there's the mandatory rescue for those "yeah, I've played too hard all weekend" eyes, the O2 Active Eye Serum. Come Monday, people think you've been good all weekend. That'll be your secret. All you men out there, don't be afraid. It's OK to take care of your skin -- it's the only one you've got -- and you don't have to smell like a girl when you do!" -- Shane T. (owner)
Lingerie, Makeup, YuBe, Personal Service
"About Face is my favorite lingerie and make up store, in fact I won’t buy a bra from anywhere else. Leeann and Amanda have been so helpful to see that I purchase a bra that gives me support, is sexy yet comfortable, and the eye shadows, blushes, mascara and lip gloss are the best I have used. I love the YuBe Therapy for my lips and hands; these products help me through Fairbanks' long, harsh winters. I tell all my friends and clients to stop in and experience the wonderful assistance you receive from Leeann and Amanda at About Face." -- Tamara S.
gloMineral Makeup
"For years, I’ve tried just about every makeup – expensive and not so expensive -- in an attempt to find the best product for my dry, ridiculously sensitive skin. I finally stopped looking when I found gloMinerals --- their pressed powder foundation is hands-down the best makeup I have ever found! It gives excellent coverage with a dewy finish. It is SO much better than Bare Minerals (no cakey look/no emphasis of fine lines), and it actually wears better than Makeup Forever. The lip pencils are soft and have tremendous staying power, and the gloMinerals eye shadows and lipstick colors are gorgeous! I never expected to say this about any foundation, let alone a powder foundation. But gloMinerals has made me a believer --- in my opinion, it’s the best on the market." -- Charlotte H.
gloMineral Makeup
"Before I started using GloMinerals, I used Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Lancôme, but I was never fully satisfied. My skin was flaring up and I believe it was due to the products. When I first was introduced to GloMinerals I had no clue what mineral makeup was. Once I researched the line on my own with guidance from Leeann, the owner and my supervisor at About Face, I was hooked. The results I saw from using GloMinerals were immediate. I had flawless coverage just using bronzer! Slowly I ventured into using the Sheer Tint Base, which is a light tinted moisturizer that matches your skin tone and provides a dewy even skin appearance. The Sheer Tint plus bronzer gave my skin the healthiest, sun kissed look that I have ever had. My skin was immaculate! Plus it feels great to know that the makeup I am now wearing on my face heals my skin and furnishes the healthiest complexion possible." -- Charity B. (staff)
