Fragrances -Chanel - Coco

I love the fragrance but there is no need to spend so much $$$ for it. You can buy coco chanel fragrance oil which is sold at some online stores specializing in fragrance oils.

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Cure - Natural Aqua Gel
Princesska 6/24/2012 7:56:00 AM
I find this gel very harsh. I would not recommend it to someone who uses Retin A and/or AHA. In fact, after using the gel my skin stays raw red for more than 12 hours.

Treatments -Paula's Choice - RESIST Intensive Wrinkle-Repair Retinol Serum
Princesska 4/24/2012 11:47:00 PM
Very gentle formula. I have sensitivity issues and this product did not bother me. However, it is too week to cause any major skin improvement. I much prefer Vitamin C Serums that give me immediately bright complexion.

Moisturizers -Paula's Choice - RESIST Anti-Aging Clear Skin Hydrator

Although Paula claims that her products are free of major irritants, this Hydrator stung me after each use.

Primer/ Corrector -Cle de Peau - Base Lissante Tendre/Fraiche
Princesska 5/24/2011 9:40:00 PM
This is an absolutely useless overly expensive primer. If you apply a moisturizer with SPF or foundation with SPF then you absolutely do not need this product, especially if you have oily skin. It leaves a white cast which is hard to get rid of. It does not make the face brighter but whiter as if you painted yourself with white chalk.

Lotions/ Creams -Valmont - Hand cream
Princesska 5/20/2011 5:05:00 PM
One of the best creams I ever tried, and I have tried quite a number of them including Clarins, Ahava, Biotherm, Jurlique, etc. and this cream is the most expensive of them, but for me it is worth every penny. It provides a long-lasting moisture so there is no need to re-apply it every hour. I use it only once or twice a day.

Skincare - Face -Estee Lauder - Advanced Night Repair Concentrate
Princesska 4/4/2011 4:12:00 PM
This product has helped me a lot with my broken caps, it makes them less visible and keeps the redness under control. It is worth the money for me as I was not able to find a cheaper alternative. I give the rating 4 out of 5 just because of the price.

Cleansers -Cetaphil - Daily Facial Cleanser (Normal to Oily Skin)
Princesska 4/4/2011 3:39:00 PM
This cleanser is supposed to be gentle, but when it gets into my eyes, it stings a lot! I use Skin Biology cleanser now, which is like a baby shampoo, very mild and soft.

Skincare - Face -Revive - Moisturizing Renewal Cream
Princesska 3/25/2010 1:57:00 PM
If you are just looking for a moisturizer, then it's an ok product. Even though I don't see a reason to spend so much money on just a simple moisturizer. I does nothing but moisturizes.

Masks -Queen Helene - Mint Julep Masque

Awful cheap mask! Hard to wash off and dries out my sensitive skin. Try DDF Sulfur mask instead.

Sunscreen -Peter Thomas Roth - Ultra Lite Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30
Princesska 8/19/2008 2:21:00 AM
Even though it's Oil-FREE, it defenitely does not feel like it! It makes my face so shiny as if instead of sunscreen I applied lots of Emu Oil on my face. I go back to my Cellex-C sunblock for acne-prone skin. Still nothing can beat it.

Treatments (Eye) -Guinot - Masque yeux instant eye mask
Princesska 8/19/2008 2:16:00 AM
This is the best mask for dark under- eye circles and puffiness. I use it as my esthetician advised over night, especially if I know that I'm gonna have eye bags (normally if I don't have much time to sleep, or ate some salty food or drank wine). Works wonders! May be, there is a better product out there, but so far I find this one is the best.

Sunscreen -Cellex-C - Suncare SPF 30+
Princesska 7/4/2008 8:54:00 PM
That's strange that this sunscreen gets so bad reviews :( I guess it proves how different we all are... From my point of view this is the best sunscreen that I ever used. And I've tried: Lancome, La Roche, Shiseido, Olay, Maria Galland...This one is the least greasy of all, goes so smooth under foundation as if it's not even there. And the most important for me - it does't make my face SHINE as if I have 5 layers of oil on my face ! By the way, it is just 28$ US!

Liquid -Lancome - Photogenic [DISCONTINUED]
Princesska 6/26/2008 8:11:00 PM
Not the best choice for the summer, rather heavy and greasy. I switch back to Armani silk foundation for the evening and Maria Galland Hydra-tinted fluid for the day.

Sunscreen -Lancome - Soleil DNA Guard SPF 50
Princesska 6/26/2008 8:04:00 PM
I gave 3 stars to this product just because it does make my face shine! I said I would buy it again since I have not found a better one with the same high SPF but less greasy :( I tried La Roche-Posay and Seiseido, but they all made my face look as if I applied lots of olive oil instead. The only one I loved is Cellex-C SPF 30+ (great under foundation!) but it's not enough for me in summer as I burn easily. So I'm looking for the same texture as Cellex-C but with higher SPF...
