I just recently bought this product because I heard the hype about it on YourTube and honestly thought that it wasn't going to live up to the hype, but for me it has. I find that this stuff works better than what I had been prescribed by a dermatologist because it doesn't dry out my skin or pimples to the point where my skin is covered in flakes (wherever the treatment was applied). This product gently dries out the pimples so that it takes away the redness and size of the pimple down dramatically without sucking every ounce of moisture away from the area on or surrounding the pimple. Even after one use I noticed a huge difference in my skin. Note: I have only used this for a few days.

Scrubs -St. Ives - Apricot Scrub

This product is not expensive but for the price it is really good. Sure the texture of it can be rough and sometimes irritating to the skin, but I like that because it makes it feel like it has actually exfoliated my skin and gotten rid of old skin cells. The packaging isn't the best since product can get left in the tube, but it does last me a long time since I only need to use about a quarter sized amount to cover my whole face. All in all, a cheap, quick fix for rough skin.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm

I have tried multiple lip balms but this works the best for me, period. I find that it works the best when I have exfoliated my lips (by scrubbing them with a wet toothbrush) and put it on RIGHT before bed so that none of it transfers anywhere else. It is also a great base for lipstick or any other lip product that can have a drying effect on the lips. I have no complaints lol.

Eye Primer -Urban Decay - Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original (UDPP)

I actually cannot live without this product. Before I ever heard about eye primers, I would notice that as time went on throughout the day, my eyeshadow would crease and virtually disappear. Once I bought this though, I never have to worry about creasing and my eyeshadows stay on for longer periods of time. There are some pieces of advice that I want to give about this product. One, a little bit goes a long way and that it dries quickly so rub it on your eyelid as soon as you put it on. Two, sure it ain't cheap, but due to the fact that you use a little bit (2 small dots) for each application, this stuff lasts at least six months. Three, I find that it works the best with UD eyeshadows but find that my MAC eyeshadows do fade (especially dark ones, e.g. Sketch) even with this on as a base. The one negative thing about this product is the packaging, whether you get it in a sample size (so the hard plastic hourglass tube thing) or a full size (squeezy tube) you will always be hard pressed (bahaha) to get all of it out. I have only tried one only primer (Benefit Don't Stray Eye Primer) and once I tried that I quickly went out and bought this again.
