Cleansers -Yves Rocher - Micellar Cleansing Water
MikaM 4/25/2013 8:45:00 AM
really dislike it! i've used it couple of times but even after 5 cotton pads soaked with this my face was not clean & left kind of sticky feeling so i had to wash it of my face. Doesn't even take off bb cream. Actually now I use it just fo fix my eyeliner and eyeshadow during a day -for that is great :) Good thing about this stuff is that it won't irritate, but simply it's not a good cleanser if you're wearing any foundation or even just light BB

i tested it for 6 weeks & must say i'm dissapointed with it. Stupid me wanted to try something new, diferent & ˝more effective˝. It's supposed to treat acne and acne scars (marks),reduce oiliness but it did nothing to reduce my acne. My skin became even more oily yet dehydrated, flaky (rare for me), red and erupted in acne. This is not my first experience whit acids & I was expecting purging period but this was too much - big red bumps on my chin, jaw & forhead. Triacneal is brilliant compared to this & I'm back to it. I see improvements in just a week after switching back to Triacneal. Still, this might be ok if used strictly locally on postacne marks

Primer/ Corrector -Catrice - Prime and Fine Smoothing Refiner

THEWORST THING i have EVER had on my face!!! This will enhance durability of foundation and boost makeup colours, blur pores BUT It broke me out madly as it has 3 highly comedogenic ingredients among first 7 ingredients on the list. I only used it twice & i wouldn't give it even to my worst enemy!

Cleansers -Avene - Cleanance soapless gel cleanser for oily skin 
MikaM 1/15/2013 9:06:00 AM
I've been using it for 4 years now or even longer & it's definitely my fav gel cleanser. It cleans well and it never left my skin dry or irritated unlike most other cleansers. With other cleansers my skin gets even more oily but Cleanance leaves it comfortable clean. Lifesaver if you suffer from allergies It might seem to be more expensive then some other (10 euro=200ml) but you really need just a pea size and can last you about 3,5-4 months if used twice a day.

Powder -Yves Rocher - Velvety Loose Powder - Transparent
MikaM 1/6/2013 2:45:00 PM
really love this powder. I use it for about 1.5 years. over the cream / BB cream or liquid foundation (Maybelline Affinitone 24h). I apply it by brush, and sometimes, rarely use the sponge to the T zone. Indeed, it is velvety and light, doesn't make me look dead (eg. Clinique) . Makes skin look & feel soft & smooth It has very, very few shimers, so if your face does become slightly oily it still won't look like a big disco ball. As with any other powder, It is important not to apply too much and to take off excess with brush and skin will look so nice. Can be easily reapplied during a day and not look cakey. Love it :)

Loose Powders -Catrice - Prime & Fine Translucent Loose Powder
MikaM 10/28/2012 4:35:00 PM
it's perfect for oily and combination skin! You only need to apply it very very lightly and it will fixate and mattifie foundation for 6-8 h without looking cakey (even if you reapply it during a day). Looks a bit scary when you open it because it's snowwhite:) but it's completly translucent. only con is packaging- good quality but if you take off protecting sticker completely you'll end up messy

BB Cream -Garnier - BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector for Combination to Oily Skin - Light
MikaM 10/28/2012 3:03:00 PM
love it!! it has a very strong smell of alcohol (like all Garnier products for oily skin) and I would agree it's runny (no need to squeeze a bottle) also looks scary pale the moment when it's applied, but despite of this, it's easily applied using just your fingers and in 1-2 min. colour adapts the skin tone. It mattifies skin but doesn't dry it out. Looks more natural than most of foundation but covers more than plain tinted moisturizer. It didn't cause me any breakouts :)
