This seemed to work fine for my hair. It did seem to make it a bit softer and shinier. However, I only used this product about 3-4 times because I had to give up on it because of the smell. It smelled like wet dog. The smell was stomach-churning to me as I blew-dry my hair. Unfortunately the smell does linger as my family commented negatively on it. What a waste of money--I didn't feel right giving it away, so I just tossed it in the garbage.

Will repurchase this again and again. Every time I've strayed I've been disappointed. Goes on easily, no clumps, and imparts a natural look. Doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and removes easily with Take the Day Off from Clinique.

Goes on white and thick and unfortunately stays that way. Lucky for me I'm as white as the sunscreen. :) Since it is the *only* sunscreen that doesn't irritate my rosacea-sensitive skin, however, I just put up with it and convince myself that "pale is the new tan."

Made my rosacea-sensitive skin worse, and by "worse" I mean bright, painful, angry red. Avoid.

Tinted Moisturizer -Chantecaille - Just Skin

Liked the packaging and the finish was nice. After about a week of using it, however, I noticed that my rosacea was getting worse. There was no other change to my routine other than this product. Sadly, I won't repurchase. I can, however, recommend Carmindy/Sally Hansen foundation for my fellow rosaceans.

I love this product. I does not irritate my rosacea-sensitive skin, provides smooth, moisturizing medium coverage, and lasts all day. I apply with a damp sponge for a more sheer effect. I am an NC15 in MAC leaning neutral and wear Porcelain. I will always have a backup of this and pray that it's never discontinued. Edit: I have discovered Chantecaille Real Skin SPF 30 in Fresh and it's my new HG. I still like the Carmindy, however, and can heartily recommend it as a budget-friendly choice, or a good choice for persons who want a more medium-to-full-coverage foundation.

Concealers -Bobbi Brown - Eye Brightener [DISCONTINUED]

Miracle product in the world's worst packaging. The concealer really lightens up the eye area and does not settle into fine lines. The packaging is extremely messy--I've treated this little pot with the utmost care and still it turns into a goopy, ugly mess. I'll use this up but will not repurchase.

Lotions/ Creams -Cerave - Moisturizing Cream

My dermatologist recommended this for my very sensitive, rosacean skin. This is the only cream that does not sting and causes no reactivity. (Even DDML caused my skin to react.) My only wish is that it came in a pump or tube.
