Bronzers -Too Faced - Chocolate Soleil

Not sure how much I love the colour of this bronzer, but I continue to use it because it smells so incredibly delicious and adds a nice matte finish to my face. You really don't need to use much of it, so I could see it lasting a long time. Another plus is it didn't break me out!

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Wear (old formula)
NatashaR 2/22/2013 1:00:00 AM
I've been on the hunt for a good foundation for my skin type for a long time. My skin is extremely oily, acne-prone, and scarred...basically a nightmare. After a horrible experience with the Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage for Face and Body, I was almost ready to give up on Estee Lauder foundations. I ended up getting a 10 day sample of Double Wear- the colour was a perfect match for my skin. After I used up my entire sample I bought the full size. This is probably the best foundation I have come across. Medium-full coverage, decent oil control, and most importantly- doesn't break me out! Just a warning, though. This product WILL break you out if you don't remove it properly. I suggest using something like olive oil to help remove makeup, followed by a lathery gel cleanser and toner. Or if you can afford expensive makeup remover, I'm sure that works too!

Cleansers -Avalon Organics Botanicals - Vitamin C Facial Cleanser
NatashaR 2/22/2013 12:48:00 AM
I was hesitant to try this product at first, because my crazy oily, acne-prone, and acne-scarred skin breaks out SO easily. I've also had a few bad experiences with natural cleansers in the past. Anyways, I'm so glad I gave this cleanser a chance. I'm probably on my fifth bottle of this stuff. Seems to help control my oil buildup, removes all my makeup (if I'm wearing a heavy foundation I use olive oil to help remove makeup, too), and it is extremely refreshing and brightening! Best cleanser I've found yet, highly recommended!

Foundations -Estee Lauder - Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body
NatashaR 1/31/2013 1:39:00 AM
I was really excited to try this product- thought it would be a great match for my extremely oily, acne-prone/scarred skin. They were out of my shade at the estee lauder counter, so the lady gave me a 10-day sample. The first day I wore the foundation, I LOVED it. You really do only need the tiniest amount (even to cover all of my acne/scarring) and it seemed to apply really smoothly. The oil-control seemed good at first, but after a day or two I started getting oilier and oiler? Now, after a few days of using this product I have broken out in places I don't usually, such as my forehead and nose. Also made acne on my cheeks and chin worse, too. So disappointing because I was prepared to buy the full version of this product after reading reviews! Guess the search continues...

Foundations -Maybelline - Dream Matte Mousse

This product completely broke me out all over my face, especially my cheeks. The coverage was decent, but felt heavy/greasy and I personally thought it looked cakey. It was gross-feeling in general, and i will never purchase this product ever again. To be fair, I also tried the Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, which wasn't too bad at all- unlike the mousse, which my skin is still recovering from.

Treatments -Acne.org - Treatment

I've been using this product for a little over 2 weeks now. It has cleared most of the acne on my cheeks and chin. It's the first thing I've used on my skin that actually makes a noticeable difference! I would DEFINITELY buy this again =] My skin is clearing up by the day! It is a little bit drying (obviously) so, I use a moisturizer in the morning and use the treatment at night. THANK YOU ACNE.ORG PS: the cleaner is good, too.
