Treatments -Paula's Choice - Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant
anabanana1 8/3/2008 3:05:00 AM
Just a great BHA product. Makes skin smooth and healthy; this isn't something that could fight acne or any other serious skin problem alone, but I think it would complement any skin regimine and generally gives you that "healthy glow" that may be the effects of lacking a good BHA/AHA product. Highly recommended.

Eyeliner -Stila - Smudge Pots gel eye-liner
anabanana1 8/3/2008 3:01:00 AM
Smudge Pots in Cobalt is sexy, long lasting, and easy to apply with a good eyeliner brush. To me, this is one of the best products Stila makes. If you are looking for a good blue eyeliner that is not tacky (is that an oxymoron?) this is what you want; I recommend this for anyone with a similar complexion (fair skin, blue eyes, light hair); it brings out your eyes much better than black or brown, which in my opinion don't do justice for fair skin.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast
anabanana1 8/3/2008 2:57:00 AM
As a mascara junkie, this is the best mascara I have ever tried. It is not clumpy, doesn't flake, and lasts all day. Separates and coats lashes beautifully. The brush might feel a little big at first, but you'll get used to it. Some makeup purchases (skin care, sunscreen, moisturizer) necessitate a little splurge; but now a terrific mascara is not one of them.

Treatments -Alpha Hydrox - Retinol Night ResQ

This is an excellent Retin-A product. It is marketed as anti-wrinkle but for anyone with acne scars or redness, this is a great way to get a more even skin tone. Also, AlphaHydrox products are so affordalbe I think it's at least worth a shot for anyone looking for a nice but reasonable Retin-A product.

Cleansers -Alpha Hydrox - Foaming Face Wash
anabanana1 8/3/2008 2:48:00 AM
This is my favorite all time face wash. I have normal skin but break out from time to time, and this face wash is not too drying and yet keeps break outs at bay. Because it has AHA in it, it's excellent for anyone who is prone to minimal blemishes. Plus, it's so cheap I would recommend at least trying it if you are in the market for a new face wash.

Treatments -Mario Badescu - Drying Lotion

This is a great secret weapon. Putting a little on at night either just one night or two in a row will dry up any zit. I have awful reactions to benzoyl peroxide and anything with too much salicylic acid in it, but this is perfect. Skin will be a bit dry in the morning, but that's the point of using any pimple problem solver: you are trying to soak up the oil. It's expensive, but for anyone with sensitive skin who is looking for a good nighttime pimple treatment, I would highly recommend this.
