Stick -MyChelle - Cream Foundation
anonymous88 7/20/2009 2:26:00 PM
I really love this product! Keep in mind I have only been using it for about 4 days. I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin and this works well for me. It is super light and looks very natural. Doesn't make me oily at all! ALL natural and just great stuff. Try it out. I like it waaaaay better than Bare Minerals and other powder minerals. looks super natural and stays all day. wish it had sun protection. Amazing so far.. i will update if anything changes!

Tinted Moisturizer -Pixi - illuminating tint & conceal
anonymous88 7/14/2009 5:25:00 PM
So far I think I like this product! I love how its 2 in 1... concealer plus TM. They match each other perfectly so it takes out any guesswork. The TM is NOT moisturizing. It actually dries out my oily skin. But my skin is way less oily than usual since I have been using it. It looks very pretty but in natural light it is quite sparkly. I don't really mind though. The concealer is great. It looks very natural and is easy to blend. My only big complaint so far is that if I have any dry patches, this stuff highlights it a bit. I like it overall though and no other product, powder or otherwise has made me less oily. It's 100 degrees everyday too! I just don't get it! but i like it! Also, its super expensive for makeup bought at target! Oh well.

Blush -Pixi - Cheek Gel Blush
anonymous88 7/14/2009 5:19:00 PM
I really love this blush! I have oily skin so I wasn't sure about it but it truly is amazing. Looks so natural and feels like nothing. Way better than powder blush in my opinion. I used to only use powder everything because I have oily/ acne prone skin but I think I like the liquid stuff better! I am going to get the gel blush in the bronze color to replace my powder bronzer! I'll see how it goes. By the way, I have the blush in natural. Its very light pink and pretty. Looks like my natural blush. I love pixi products so far except they are so expensive!! PS works GREAT as a lip tint also!!!

Powder -GloMinerals - GloPressed Base
anonymous88 6/23/2009 1:59:00 PM
This is really good mineral foundation. I took off one point because it contains bismuth oxychloride but it doesn't cause me to break out or anything. That stuff is just bad. Anyways... a little of this powder goes a long way. Its great as a light, all over, natural looking and feeling light base and it works well as a concealer over minor imperfections. I just dab a concealer brush over it and pat it on my blemish. Really great stuff. I got mine at whole foods. I'd like to try their other products but its just so expensive! Maybe one day...

Sunscreen -Clinique - City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector Broad Spectrum 25 SPF
anonymous88 6/4/2009 3:50:00 PM
I really like this stuff. Its a good, light, non-oily, everyday sunscreen. I don't wear foundation or anything like that, so I'm not sure how good it holds up as a makeup primer. Its great that it is free of chemical sunscreens and Clinique doesn't test on animals.. which is a must have for me. I stopped using it for a while just to try other things but I used it again today and remembered how much I like it! I'm almost out and I think I will buy again.

Scrubs -Derma E - Microdermabrasion Scrub
anonymous88 6/4/2009 3:45:00 PM
This stuff is really amazing. It is by far the best scrub I have ever used. The scrub is very fine, so it works way better than something with huge, spread out sharp beads like St. Ives or all the others. Its natural and not tested on animals as well! This product has improved my skin dramatically! It really really does a great job of exfoliating your skin and helping keep new skin fresh and clear. Also, over time it really does diminish light scaring and other skin problems. Really makes my skin feel so soft and just makes all of the other products sink in better to new, fresh skin. I am about to go buy my 4th jar! Would recommend it for everyone. One thing though... don't use it too much. Maybe once or twice a week tops! I tend to get carried away and its just not the best idea. You don't want to exfoliate too much!

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant
anonymous88 6/4/2009 3:37:00 PM
Was so excited to try this product because of all the great reviews. They had it no where so I had to order it online. What a waste! Yes, it smells nice and its "natural" but it irritated my skin sooooo bad. I guess it worked okay but it made my armpits itch like crazy and made them all red and flaky.Gross! My search for an aluminum free, non-irritating, effective, natural deodorant continues. As for now, I will continue using men's old spice pure sport because it works and it isn't an antiperspirant. Update 1: I'm trying this stuff again. I love the way it smells and it works, my only problem is the irritation. I have been using it for the past 2 days with a little itching here and there but it isn't bad. I'm going to continue and see how it goes. Update 2: Ok, so I have been using it for over a week (again) and I think I'm going to stick with it. Yeah, it still makes my pits peel a little but that's an ok trade off since I am using something natural and non antiperspirant. Plus I really like the smell. so fresh and so clean! :) Keep in mind I have tried A LOT of different natural deodorants and this one works best by far. I think I might actually buy it again unless I find some miracle natural deo. Update 3: this is the best natural deo i have ever tried. it doesn't irritate me at all anymore... even after I shave. and it works amazingly. all day every day bo free! love it!

Deodorants -Unlisted Brand - Adidas Cotton Tech absorbent-deo
anonymous88 6/4/2009 3:33:00 PM
HATE THIS STUFF! I saw good reviews on this product so I was excited to try it. I will only use aluminum free deodorant so and its hard to find a woman's deodorant that isn't antiperspirant. It's tough but its just so bad for you to block your body from sweating. Anyways... I don't know whats up with this stuff but it made me sweat so much more than usual and made me smell worse.. just like when I used to use antiperspirants. Since I have been using non antiperspirants I have gotten less smellier and less sweater but when I tried this it was terrible. I would sweat so much when I didn't have it on.. like in the morning before I got ready and put deodorant on. I stopped using it and went back to the usual stuff...Old spice for men... pure sport.. .for men. But hey, it works. And it isn't unhealthy.

Brows -Milani - Easybrow
anonymous88 5/18/2009 5:01:00 PM
Love, love, love this brow pencil. Hands down the best, most perfect brow pencil I have ever tried (and I have tried quite a few). It glides on so easily and smoothly, its sort of like a wax so it helps keep your brows in place, and the color matched my brows perfectly. The packaging is amazing also. It is a self-sharpener, so it rolls up when you need it to. Plus, it has a brush (like a mascara brush) on the end! That is just the absolute perfect combo in my opinion. When I describe the perfect brow pencil, this is it. No crappy comb on the end, or a detached brush that is easily lost, or a pencil that you have to sharpen or a pencil that you have to press hard to work. I just love it. Glad I don't have to spend money looking for the perfect brow pencil anymore because I have found it! :)

Skincare - Face -Unlisted Brand - CosMedix
anonymous88 5/18/2009 4:34:00 PM
I absolutely love their products. I use Purity Cleanser, then Clarity Serum, then Phytoclear Moisturzer. I have bought them all about 3 times so far and thats totally not like me. I am a product junkie and I am always trying new things because I could never find the thing that worked perfectly. I have found it! I love the Cosmedix line. Take it from me, they work. I have tried everything under the sun to clear my skin and make it smooth and pretty without makeup. I prefer to only use natural and/or organic products and this line does fall under that category. They use many natural ingredients but mix it with other things that work. Also, you can pronounce all of the ingredients and there aren't a million of them! I don't buy things that have tons of weird things in them that I have never heard of or that frankly, sound dangerous. Anyways... here is my simple and wonderful routine: 1. Purity Cleanser: SO AMAZING. It really does exfoliate. Plus, it works way way WAY better than any crappy cleansers with those big, spread out beads that claim to exfoliate. This stuff is smoothe, refreshing and gentle, yet it takes layers off and works wonders of time (a fairly short time though actually). It is a must have. I am so skeptical about cleansers claiming to work wonders when they are just immediatly washed off, but trust me on this, this stuff does what it claims. AMAZING 2. Clarity Serum: I know alot about skincare because I am always researching what works best and I really like to stick with as many natural products as possible. This stuff has it all. Tea Tree, witch hazle, AND retin A! (but its chirally correct, so it wont irritate your skin), plus other good stuff. But those ingredients all in one is just a dream come true for me personally. This stuff works wonders. It smells and feels amazing and soaks right up into the skin. It keeps your skin exfoliating without makeing you flakey all the time plus it super effectivly clears acne. Can't say enough about it. Buy it. seriously. 3. Phytoclear Moisturizer: smooth, simple, non greasy, easily obsorbed and amazing. just plain great moisturizer. Goes great with the serum. LOVE love love this product. Keeps my super oily skin at bay and makes it look lovely. :) 4: Reflect: This is some super expensive sunscreen but its really good stuff. its hard to find an everyday sunscreen that won't make you oily but this stuff does the trick. When I bought it, it was in a spray bottle which was a little weird because you have to pat it on your face after or you have little white dots but now they have a pump and i think its cheaper. So I bet its amazing. I plan on trying it when I run out of the reflect. If you find my review helpful and you try these products, DONT FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!!!!!!! seriously. this stuff keeps your skin exfoliated and keeps letting up new, beautiful skin so PROTECT IT or you will end up looking sunburned, old and splotchy. no good. This is the best routine I have found and I have tried EVERYTHING. My friends and family make fun of me because my bathroom is like a drugstore. I have wasted hundreds of dollars on products that didn't work for me so this stuff has really made me so happy. They are expensive but so so soooooo worth it. One place you can find them besides online is at Milk and Honey Spas (if you have those in your city). GOOD LUCK!!!! :)

(thats odd for me because I have always had terrible skin). Plus, I hate wearing makeup so now I can feel good about not wearing makeup on my skin. This cleanser really does work wonders. It actually takes layers off of your skin.. no joke. I didn't think it could be that great at first but trust me, it is. I just can't say enough good things about those three products. They have worked wonders. Not only have they cleared up my skin amazingly, but they have taken off layers of blotchy, scared skin. Its just amazing. They are expensive but so so soooooo worth it. One place you can find them besides online is at Milk and Honey Spas.
