Cleansers -Origins - Clean Energy Cleansing Oil
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:43:00 AM
I tried to deviate from cleansing oil last month and I couldn't take it! I love the ease of using a cleansing oil to remove makeup. I purchased a pump to go with the product and I use 3 pumps for my face and 2 to remove eye makeup. I use my hands to apply the product and it removes everything including water proof mascara. I apply it before I get in the shower at night and follow up with the cleanser. On some nights I will use this alone to get to bed early and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight. The SA at the counter said it was meant more for dry skin but I think it would be a great makeup remover for all skin types.

Moisturizers -Origins - NIght-A-Mins Cream
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:38:00 AM
I am on my second jar of this product and I plan to repurchase it. I have oily skin and I am in my late 20s and I find this to be a great moisturizer. It absorbs well and balances out the skin. I wake up less oily and keeps me from getting dry from acne products. My only issue is the jar packaging. I have to wash my hands really well or use a cotton swab to get product out of the jar to keep it (relatively) clean.

Toners -Mario Badescu - Seaweed Cleansing Lotion
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:21:00 AM
This is an awesome toner. I received it as a sample from the company after doing the skin analysis and I loved it. It has no alcohol which is great because I don't like how drying that ingredient can be. I have oily skin, but I can see on the cotton pad after I use it that it does get a lot of crap off the skin. I will be repurchasing this product.

Cleansers -Mario Badescu - Enzyme Cleansing Gel
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:17:00 AM
This is a cleanser I find myself returning to pretty often. It doesn't remove makeup, but its a great basic cleanser to use after using a makeup remover. I like this product because it doesn't strip the skin. Like many people with oily skin, drying cleansers can aggravate my skin problems. It helps keep the skin balanced and cleanses well. It has a strange texture thats kind of slimy, but the smell is great.

Scrubs -Origins - Modern Friction
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:15:00 AM
I love this product!! I purchased it about 7 months ago and still haven't used up the entire tube. You get a decent amount of product in the tube, which is good as I was taken aback by the price at first. The SA at the counter did a demo of the product on my hand and I really liked the result so I made the purchase. This product really exfoliates the skin well without causing irritation. A lot of other exfoliation products I have tried didn't have the right texture to really do the job because I have oily skin. I use once to twice a week and I have noticed a real difference in my skin. I would purchase this product again and recommend it to anyone with less sensitive skin.

Cleansers -Origins - Checks and Balances
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:11:00 AM
This is a pretty basic cleanser for me. I find it a little pricey for the amount in the bottle, but I tend to go through cleansers very quickly. I found the formula slightly drying, although it did cleanse the skin well. Still, I found my skin wasn't as soft or as bright when I used this cleanser and I have very oily skin. Someone who wants a basic cleanser would like this product, but I have found better products for cleansing

Polishes -Zoya - Professional Lacquer
Xexuxa 4/8/2013 12:08:00 AM
I love Zoya nail polish! I have got quite a few colors and most are very pigmented and go on true to color. I have a couple that require 3 coats instead of 2 to get the color you see in the bottle, but I use the drying drops by Zoya as well and it really speeds up drying time for this polish. What I love about Zoya is the colors and the fact that their product doesn't turn my nails yellow. This is a serious problem I have with other brands of nail polish, especially Revlon. OPI doesn't turn my nails yellow as quickly but they will eventually get there if I don't take the polish off after 3 days. I can wear Zoya for a week and still have clear nails. Great product!

Liquid -MAC - Pro Longwear Foundation
Xexuxa 3/21/2013 12:46:00 AM
I like this foundation for my skin type. I have a very oily skin type and this was recommended to me by the sales associate. It does hold up for a long time, longer than other brands, but doesn't last longer than 8 hours on me. Still, thats an improvement. It also tends to crease up around the nose and mouth at the end of the day. I have no idea why MAC foundations do that. I use a primer and don't deal with that issue as much as other higher end brands.

Liquid -MAC - Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation
Xexuxa 3/21/2013 12:42:00 AM
I think this is one of the better foundations the brand has to offer. I got a sample in shade 1.5 and I'm typically an NC20; it was a good match. It goes on very nicely and provides decent coverage. The only issue I have found with the product is that it accentuates flaky skin if you don't exfoliate.

Moisturizers -Boscia - Vital Daily Moisture SPF 15
Xexuxa 2/3/2012 8:46:00 PM
This is a good moisturizer for winter days.The SPF 15 is good protection for the fall and winter but for summer I would need more protection. I have oily skin, but it doesn't feel oily on my skin. I use it after I use the Boscia toner and I've had very good results. My skin has been less red and less prone to break outs.

Moisturizers -Boscia - Oil Free Daily Hydration SPF 15
Xexuxa 2/3/2012 8:44:00 PM
When I tried this product I found it to be too drying. I have oily skin but I still needed more moisture than this product had to offer. I would recommend this product for teen skin that is very oily and prone to break outs.

Cleansers -Boscia - Purifying Cleansing Gel
Xexuxa 2/3/2012 8:42:00 PM
I really like this cleanser. I have oily skin and this cleans the skin well without stripping it and making it feel dry and tight. I follow up with a Boscia toner and moisturizer as part of my routine. My only complaint is the size of the bottle. I feel its too small for the price and I go through it pretty quickly.

Moisturizers -Boscia - Recharging Night Moisture
Xexuxa 2/3/2012 8:40:00 PM
Ive had a really good experience with this moisturizer so far. I switched to natural skincare and use the Boscia brand. I've noticed less break outs and redness in my skin since I made the switch. Although this moisturizer is for dry skin, I have oily skin and I like the results. Its not an oily moisturizer and goes on pretty clean. One pump is enough for the face and another pump for the neck and chest. I would recommend this product if you would like to try natural skincare.

Bronzers -Physicians Formula - Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Powder - Light Bronzer
Xexuxa 1/13/2012 10:33:00 PM
I didn't have very good luck with this bronzer. I really like the Happy Booster blushes so I was disappointed that this didn't work out. I couldn't really get it to show up on my NC20-25 skin, so it might just be too light for my skin tone. If you are more fair, I would recommend trying it out.

Blush -Physicians Formula - Happy Booster™ Glow & Mood Boosting Blush in rose
Xexuxa 1/13/2012 10:31:00 PM
I really like the formula of the Happy Booster blushes. Its the only brand I have tried so far that lasts all day. I also like that it doesn't get splotchy as I have very oily skin. I recommend trying out this product!
