My name is Andrea Hofer, I am the Social Media Manager for Paula’s Choice. I loved reading everyone’s comments about shilling for Paula, as I was a “shill” myself for years before recently being employed at Paula’s Choice. I spray my SPF oil on right before getting out of the shower. It keeps everything an an easy-to-clean location.

Hi, women!

Great, funny comments. Thanks for all of them.

T-shirts are brilliant. Wait! Ladies!! Earrings!! I see white gold hoops of a tasteful size, with 3 small dangling beads in colors coordinated with your season. Hmm, I believe there’s a jewelry designer among us…

I saw the Spray SPF Lotion on Paula’s site. Something I learned about the Weightless Finish Spray Sunscreen is that you have to be very careful where in the house you apply it. If it’s on a rug, it will leave an oily film on the rug. If it’s on a smooth floor, it will leave an oily film on the floor, and guaranteed the next kid ( or worse, your 80 year old aunt) coming through the kitchen will slip on it and land on their back. Then you’ll have to hear about how sunscreen is bad for the rest of the afternoon. If you apply it outside, no problem. Just one of those weird consumer observations.

NEWS FLASH…
I’m sure anyone who is a Paula’s Choice user has received the news that she now has “SPF 55″ Ultra Light Spray Lotion.” It’s on my list for the next time I place an order. Being in FL I can’t wait to try it out.

I must say I giggled at that title! If there ever was something you ‘ain’t’ that would be it!
Knowing you for as long as I have and being aware of how much time and research you put into everything you purchase, especially make-up, it is absurd to the point of being hilarious. Hence the giggle.
I concede the view that someone not knowing you may make that assumption. The fact that the products you recommend or endorse are the most effective for your money and happen to be manufactured for the most part by the same company well there you go …automatic jump to that conclusion island.
I love Paula’s stuff. Have recommended it, will continue to do so. If that makes me a shill so be it…happy to oblige, especially if a friend is getting a good deal and an excellent product. Thanks Christine

Excellent. Shill. I’ve learned a new word today. But what a shame that this person took your personal views and had to make that comment. I’ve only recently joined your AGT website and I love it because I’m interested in people’s experiences, views, suggestions etc because that’s how I am able to learn, grow, develop – and this gives me more choices and options.

So thank-you for your website, thank-you for your comments and thank-you for not shrinking away. I’m looking forward to seeing who’s been invited to your next picnic!

I’ve been “shilling” for Paula for over 15 years, anyone who will listen, I “shill” her philosophy. I don’t always use her products, I admit to running out and forgetting to place an order so I have to go to the drugstore, sometimes I discover something I really like and keep using it, by embracing her philosophy, I am now armed with the information I need to select a well-formulated product. The optimum word here is “armed”, armed with knowledge, armed with useful information, armed with good advice, I use this in almost everthing I do, I “arm” myself with information via the internet, books, magazines, news articles, any number of ways to be informed and aware.
So I’ll happily admit to being a “shill” for Paula – maybe we should have T-shirts made…
