Self Tanners -L'Oreal - Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Towelettes for FACE
rated 4 of 5

These towelettes gave my skin a nice healthy glow. It was just the right amount of "tan" for my fair skin. They smell nice, aren't messy, but seem a little bit wasteful. I think I'll cut them in half as other MA members have said. Good product!

What a nice neutral shade. I use this to lighten up other colors when necessary. Blends easily, looks great!

At first, I liked this. But after a few uses, it seems too dry. I have a tough time blending it over larger areas of my face.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)

Really worth it! It helps my cheaper eye shadows to stay on all day. The packaging is cute, but tough to get product.

I like this! It feels lightweight on my skin when I apply it with a concealer brush. It covers my dark circles very well.

Cleansers -Paula's Choice - Hydralight One Step Face Cleanser - Normal to Oily/Combination Skin
rated 4 of 5

This works really well for my combination/sensitive skin. I still need to use eye makeup remover, but that's probably to be expected. I purchased the pump dispenser, and I'm glad I did! I wish the product came with it though.

Lotions/ Creams -L'Occitane - Lavender Hand Cream
rated 5 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 10:00:00 PM

I received this as a gift, and now I'm a fan! I really like the way the lotion disappears into my skin. Not too greasy and not too dry. It smells strong at first. It's like a little luxury :)

Eye Makeup Remover -Neutrogena - Oil Free eye makeup remover
rated 5 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:58:00 PM

This is a great makeup remover! I use one cotton ball per eye and it swipes the makeup off right away. I rinse my eyes afterwards, and sometimes I need to run one more cotton ball to remove left-over makeup. Otherwise, I love it. It doesn't get oil in my eyes like some of the other makeup removers that I tried.

Styling Products -Garnier - Fructis Style - Smoothing Milk
rated 3 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:55:00 PM

This product does smooth my hair. I have straight semi-thick hair, and it works well to smooth the ends of my hair. I tried to smooth down fly-aways on the top of my head, and it seemed oily/weighed down a few hours later. I'm not sure if I'll buy this again.

Cleansers -Clinique - Rinse-off foaming cleanser
rated 3 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:53:00 PM

I use this product to cleanse my face and also to remove makeup. I do not get the product near my eyes. It works pretty well as a general face cleanser for me.

Shampoo -Suave - Daily Clarifying Shampoo
rated 3 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:48:00 PM

Dirt cheap. Really removes oil and product build-up from hair. I make sure to follow up with a good conditioner though, because it does tend to dry out my hair with daily use.

Shampoo -Redken - All Soft Shampoo
rated 5 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:47:00 PM

I love this shampoo (and the conditioner, too). When I was dying my brown hair blonde, it really helped to recondition my hair. I highly recommend this for anyone who has very dry hair.

Cleansers -Neutrogena - Oil-Free Acne Wash
rated 4 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:42:00 PM

I think this product is great for reducing acne. If you use it only on the acne-prone parts of your skin, it won't seem to over-dry your skin overall. I use this during days of breakout, and it tends to clear up my skin in a day or two. I switch to a regular cleanser when my skin is clear.

Concealers -Cover Girl - Invisible Concealer
rated 1 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:39:00 PM

This concealer was WAY too weak. It blends into your skin, leaves a fairly white look, and doesn't hide dark circles. Definitely not going to buy this again.

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Gentle Skin Cleanser
rated 2 of 5
novastar 7/15/2007 9:36:00 PM

This cleanser doesn't seem to clean my face very well. It is difficult to create a lather and smooth on the face. It tends to be goopy. I'm not a fan
