Cleansers -MAC - Green Gel Cleanser
Poppylovee 7/1/2007 11:42:00 PM
I have been using this cleanser for about three or four months now. At first I really liked it. It made my skin really soft and kept blemishes away. It didn't dry out my skin or irritate it. But, for the past month or so, it has sort of stopped working the way it used to. My skin is starting to break out, and it no longer makes my skin feel soft. Now, if I don't moisturize immediately after cleansing my skin feels very dry and dehydrated. It isn't the worst cleanser I have ever used, but I am very dissapointed with how this product has just stopped working. There are some good things about this product, though. I like how the packaging is plastic, and that you squeeze it out (I hate glass jars, and I hate unsanitary packaging). The smell is okay...it's a bit different, IMO, but it's fresh smelling and not that noticeable. I don't plan on repurchasing this cleanser.

Masks -Fresh - Rose Mask

Hmmm...this mask has been okay- not the best I've tried, but it certainly is not the worst. I was definately expecting more because of the high price tag. Anyways, I really enjoy the scent, and I think the pieces of rose petals mixed into the mask are kind of neat. As for what it did for my skin, I found that it gave me a nice glow. I love the way it feels when I apply it though, it feels very soothing. It hasn't really minimized the look of my pores (although I didn't really expect it to), and it hasn't helped with breakouts (again, this mask isn't meant to do so). I don't think I would buy it again, mainly because of how expensive it is, but also because I can easily live without it.

Lip Treatments -Fresh - Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
Poppylovee 7/1/2007 11:26:00 PM
I've been using this lip balm for about three weeks now, and I love it. The smell is really nice. It's lemony, but not too strong, and doesn't smell like Pledge. The tube it comes in is also really nice. I like how it has sun protection (SPF 15), even though I wear it to bed every night, as well as during the day. The finish is really pretty, glossy and soft, but not too shiny, not sticky, and it never feels waxy. I really like this lip balm, and despite the high price, I will probably buy it again when I run out.

Liquid -NARS - Oilfree foundation
Poppylovee 6/22/2007 6:38:00 PM
I really like this foundation. On me, I find that it looks natural. I can't really tell that I am wearing any foundation when I use this. I have combination/sometimes-acne-prone skin and this has never caused me to break out and has never dried out my skin. My skin does have a tendency to become shiny and oily a few hours after applying my makeup, and this foundation hasn't really affected that (it hasn't made me any less oily...but it has not made the problem any worse). With powder on top, I do not particularily like the look of this foundation, but by itself it looks pretty good. If you want this product to work well, you definately have to moisturize first, and/or use a primer. I have used it with the Nars primer and it looked very natural. I find it conceals redness very well, but it is too light to actually cover blemishes (besides covering their redness). Overall, this is a good foundation, it's just not the best.

Concealers -Fresh - Concealer
Poppylovee 6/22/2007 6:29:00 PM
I love everything about this product...except for the packaging. The consistency is perfect, and it doesn't cake or crease. The packaging can get on my nerves just a bit...but if you press your finger right up against where the product comes out you will never pump out too much. You definately don't get a whole lot of product. But these small problems aside I absolutely love this concealer.
