Skincare - Body -Clarins - Body Shaping Supplement
karinc713 2/27/2008 11:29:00 PM
this is awesome- you just mix 6-8 drops of this to your regular body moisturizer and you get the same firming results. This is unscented so it won't clash w/ any fragrance and doesn't have a stinky herbal or medicinal odor like most firming body products in the market. it does firm and reduce the appearance of sponginess. love this!

Lotions/ Creams -Trader Joe's - A Midsummer Night's Cream-Unscented
karinc713 2/17/2008 12:48:00 PM
this is my favorite body moisturizer. I have very dry and sensitive skin and this is perfect for me. I love the hydrating yet non sticky texture, light aloe scent, and it absorbs easily and is soo cheap. this is better than aveeno, kiehl's, clarins, and other expensive brands I tried. I always have a couple of bottles of this all over my house and give many away to friends who love it too.

Skincare - Body -Trader Joe's - moisturizing cream
karinc713 12/28/2007 9:55:00 PM
this is trader joe's midsummer night moisturizing cream. I love it. it's around $3, unscented (has a mild aloe scent that fades), absorbs quickly, and is suitable for my dry sensitive skin. this is the plain, unscented natural body cream for everyday. I bought three bottles of it to stock up. In the past, I used kiehl's creme de corps and aveeno.this does the job and is so cheap.

Gels/Soaps -Korres - Brandy Shower Gel
karinc713 12/19/2007 3:56:00 PM
this is one of the limited edition holiday shower gels. It's nice and moisturizing and the scent is just right so that it wouldn't interfere w/ perfume. smells like brandy which makes a unique winter fragrance.

Primer/ Corrector -Clinique - Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base
karinc713 12/10/2007 10:39:00 PM
this helps even out my skintone a bit when I have some minor redness. the spf is chemical free. the green tint is meant to neutralize redness. I dont have rosacea just the occassional redness from popping a couple of pimples. I will use this in the winter and will change to something w/ a higher spf in the summer.with this I use less concealer.

Treatments -Clarins - HydraQuench Intensive Serum
karinc713 12/7/2007 10:51:00 AM
love this serum. I'm very dry and dehydrated in the winter and no moisturizer alone was enough. this immediately boosts hydration levels and plumps up skin. I like that it doesn't feel oily or break me out. I'm the dry dehydrated sensitive skintype that also breaks out if I use the wrong product. this paired w/ the hydraquench cream is the perfect duo for me.

Cleansers -Clarins - Pure Melt Cleansing Gel
karinc713 12/7/2007 10:38:00 AM
An interesting alterative to cleansing millks and foaming cleansers. it's a gel, then turns into oil as you massage onto dry skin, add water it turns into a milk and rinses clean. it took all my makeup off and left my skin soft and clean. I have sensitive dry skin and this was comfortable to use. I like!

Cleansers -DHC - Q10 Facial Film Soap
karinc713 11/18/2007 8:28:00 AM
this is a really cool product. I normally dislike soap due to my dry skin but this is a mild but rich lather that cleanses really well w/out stripping skin. I follow up w/ a hydrating toner, serum and moisturizer and it works fine.

Treatments -Prescriptives - Super Line Preventor Xtreme
karinc713 11/4/2007 10:51:00 AM
This gives a good amount of hydration for my dry and dehydrated skin. It is very lightweight and absorbs quickly. I'm unsure about it being a "line preventor" but it does boost hydration levels and contains many antioxidants. It does make the skin smoother but that could be from the silicone that most serums contain. I use this after my clarins toner and hydra care cream and so far its good.

Treatments (Eye) -DHC - Revitalizing Moisture Strips
karinc713 10/5/2007 9:32:00 AM
this is nice to use but I wish it was more hydrating. its a gel that doesn't really have any serum to absorb into your skin but it still is refreshing to use,softens, and provides some moisture. I would have gave it a higher rating if it reduced puffiness or dark circles, hydrated better and plumped up or brighten.
