Skincare - Face -Pro Activ - Daily Oil Control
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:31:00 AM
This product was free when I got the system and it was one of my favorites. It was my first oil controller and it worked very well. I wish I had gotten more at the time. However now I have found primer and a Clinique product to work better so it's not necessary especially with how expensive this is.

Cleansers -Murad - Clarifying Skin Cleanser
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:28:00 AM
This is a pretty nice and very gentle cleanser. It's really good when my skin is on the dry side but still broken out. It is effective but doesn't exfoliate as well as I'd like. I'd get another small size as a tiny drop goes pretty far.

Treatments -Murad - Acne Spot Treatment
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:26:00 AM
This made my skin a lot worse! Apparently my skin doesn't like sulfur. At the time I used this my house had sulfur water too so perhaps it was just too much for my skin to handle. I didn't even use it all.

Skincare - Face -Murad - Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:25:00 AM
A little bit goes a long way with this gel but I didn't notice a difference whether I used it or not. I used it all up but I didn't break out after I stopped. It didn't dry out my skin and it didn't clear up things instantly or in any emergency. I'll stick to a gel that works.

Moisturizers -Murad - Skin Perfecting Lotion
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:23:00 AM
This is a great lotion! It does a great job both moisturizing and clearing my skin. I used it all up first as I used it about twice a day. I would get it again on its own. I like it more than Proactiv's clearing lotion.

Skincare - Face -Murad - Clarifying Mask
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:22:00 AM
This mask didn't do much for my skin, if anything the sulfur in it irritated it and I broke out more. I never used up the whole small sized product. It did control oil pretty well though.

Styling Products -Redken - Straight
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:18:00 AM
I got this product as I have straight hair but it isn't absolutely perfectly straight. I don't flat iron because it looks too obvious and false so I thought this product might help. It didn't do anything at all for my hair, I didn't notice any sort of difference.

Styling Products -Redken - Vinyl Glam
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:16:00 AM
This is a great spray glosser! It doesn't weigh down my hair as much as serums do and I can get it all over my hair and distribute it with my brush. Spray it from kind of far away or it'll look greasy! It's fairly expensive and I wouldn't get it unless it was a sale. It's a great product.

Styling Products -Redken - Guts
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:13:00 AM
My stylist recommended this for when I scrunch up my hair when its wet and spray it. This really helped me scrunch it and get more wave as well as keep a soft hold. My biggest complaints though are the high price and AWFUL smell! It smells like rotten eggs when it comes out of the bottle. I could barely stand it. Most Redken products smell like heaven but not this one! Other than scrunching my hair it didn't do much and I have not purchased it again.

Styling Products -Redken - Glass
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:11:00 AM
I got this product pretty cheap at a hair show ($4) though normally it runs for about $12. It is a really great shiner and helps keep your hair a bit moisturized, though I do prefer Vinyl Glam to this product. It's a decent anti frizz serum as well.

Shampoo -Sexy Hair Concepts - Silky Sexy Hair Smoothing Shampoo
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:08:00 AM
I'm kind of surprised by the bad reviews! I had an absolutely excellent experience with this product. While it is expensive for a small amount of product, only one tiny little squirt of shampoo washed my hair fine. It made my hair absolutely soft, not so much silky, but it detangled it as well. I got a lot of compliments when I used it every day and people requested to touch my hair. It even made it look brighter because of how soft it was. One bottle lasted me two months with about everyday use and I have been looking for it in stores since but I just can't find it! I would love to get my hair that beautiful again.

Crème -MAC - Studio Tech
thekeeg 3/22/2009 2:05:00 AM
This was my first high end foundation. I went to the MAC counter and they recommended this product for full coverage. However NC15 which had looked great in the store looked about 2 shades too dark everywhere else! And of course it doesn't go lighter than that so I was sort of screwed. It worked a lot better in the summer but I had to work hard to get a slight tan so I could use this product. I did end up using most all of it but it got pretty gunky by the time the metal started showing through and I chucked it. Overall I wish I had not gotten it simply because the color was wrong. Its coverage was also a tad too heavy usually as my skin was still pretty oily.

Eye Shadow -Physicians Formula - Baked Collection Baked Smokes
thekeeg 3/22/2009 1:59:00 AM
This is an excellent palette for making a wonderful smokey eye. As others have noted it is excellent when wet, especially the deepest color which I used as an eyeliner frequently. This palette taught me how to do the smokey eye look correctly with the properly toned darks. It lasted all day for me although sometimes it would run especially below my eye. When I had it, it ran for about $12 at drugstores which is expensive for lower end makeup. It's great to learn how to do this look though.

Eye Shadow -Physicians Formula - Retro Glow Illuminating Eye Shadow in Classic Crystal
thekeeg 3/22/2009 1:59:00 AM
This is a perfect brow highlight color for my skin tone. It's a great warm soft ivory. It blends well, has a nice smooth satin finish, and the packaging is definitely cute! There is quite a bit of product in here. It is expensive for a drugstore brand and I believe this shade is discontinued now unfortunately.
