Beautiful color, long lasting and very comfortable to wear, the shiny finish lasts for so much longer than any other regular lipgloss, this is a product that I would definetly would buy again. Somehow this shade brings light to your face, I love it!! if you like pink lips, this is defnitely a keeper.

I absolutely ADORE this perfume!!!!! it's a very citric orange-lime like fresh scent, makes me feel fresh and clean ALL DAY LONG, this is the only perfume that lasted 24 hrs on me, amazing staying power even if you sweat, this has been the only perfume that I have bought more than once, usually Im always buying the new ones, but this one is a keeper ;)

Treatments (Eye) -Perricone - Advanced Eye Area Therapy
rated 2 of 5
Caritoco 3/18/2009 2:28:00 PM

This was made for people with moderate to severe puffines. I bought this thinking about my fine lines and dark circles, but it didn't help in those issues, instead, it depuffed my already sunken periorbital area, and it made my skin burn like hell, plus I hated the packaging and it's very expensive (95 dls) :s not good for me

Cleansers -La Roche Posay - Effaclar Purifying Gel Cleanser
rated 5 of 5
Caritoco 3/18/2009 1:59:00 PM

Amazing cleanser !! it leaves your face feeling so nice and clean, it really purifies it! has helped me keeping my skin free of clogged pores, I used to have blackheads on my nose and chin, now they're almost gone, and the ones I stil have, are so easy to remove! For those who feels their skin tight or a little dry, I believe that everytime you wash your face, no matter what, you will have to put a moisturizer afterwards, even plain water takes away the dirt as well as the oils of the skin, so, wash your face and then moisturize according to your needs, for me, the picture is complete with the Effaclar Active Matt Moisturizer, they work great together!!

Moisturizers -La Roche Posay - Effaclar Active Matt moisturizer
rated 4 of 5
Caritoco 3/18/2009 1:31:00 PM

It is a very good product, it really does mattify my always shiny skin, before this I was a slave of blotting papers, now, I rarely need to use them, its very light and it has definitely helped me with the size of my pores, I think its working in great synergy with the Effaclar Purifying Gel which I use every morning and night to wash my face. This cream is so light that it may feel like its not very moisturizing, so during the winter, I feel like I need something extra in some spots, but like other reviewers, I just use a richer cream for those days in the dry areas. All in all, is a great product and I plan to keep it as part of my daily routine :)

Sunscreen -Skinceuticals - Daily Sun Defense
rated 2 of 5
Caritoco 2/23/2009 4:32:00 PM

I made a looooot of research trying to find the best sunscreen for oily skin, I finally decided to give Skinceuticals Daily Sun Defense a try since all the good reviews at MUA... well....I just can't believe how greasy this is, it leaves my face with a shiny cast and the cream its way to heavy, even when I wait around 5 to 10 minutes for this to sink in before I start to apply my make up, there is still a lot of greasiness and shine, I have to take a Blotting Paper and pass it on all over my face again and again, I'm very dissapointed :(

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 6 for Combination/Oily Skin
rated 5 of 5
Caritoco 1/11/2009 9:42:00 PM

This is a great product!! it does a wonderful job keeping my oily skin looking matte for a long period time, I use this combined with the Colorstay pressed powder and my face looks absolutely flawless, it is true that is dries up very fast while applying it, so that is why I work one area at a time, it doesn't run or fade, it doesn't look cakey, it lasts all day long, even during my workouts (I go to the gym right after work) and stays perfectly well even in the super hot summer, since its fixed so well it is a little hard to remove, but I use Demaq expert by L´oreal and it goes away very easy. This is by far THE BEST foundation out there for combo/oily skin ;)

Cleansers -L'Oreal - Dermo-Expertise Gentle Cleansing Milk
rated 2 of 5
Caritoco 1/10/2009 1:59:00 PM

I hate it, this stuff is more like a heavy cream than a Milk, doesn't remove makeup that easily so I have to reapply over and over again till "almost" everything come off, needless to say that I always end up with an irritating skin, all red and **VERY** greasy, it leaves a shiny cast and the sensation is very tacky, I wont buy again
