Moisturizers -Philosophy - Hope in a Bottle
rated 4 of 5

I definitely like this product better than most of the other BHA products I've tried in the past. It's a bit pricy in my opinion and a little goes a long way so this bottle should last me at lest 4 months or longer. Highly recommend if you have oily/acne pron skin like mine.

Lipstick -Shu Uemura - Lipstick
rated 2 of 5

The color S506 is a perfect nude-orange shade for my skintone but it smelt like some of those cheap drug store lippies. What the shame, a great color, good pigments and cute packaging.

Pressed Powders -NARS - Pressed Powder

I love NARS pressed powder & Eden is a good match for my skintone. Like BB sheer pressed powder, the finish is very sheer & smooth and it's not caky or dry at all. I will difinitely purchase it again.

Skincare - Face -Tony & Tina - Herbal Makeup Remover
rated 2 of 5

I never really like anything from Toni & Tina in the past and this one is no exception. The strong herbal aroma is very annoying although it does not cause any irritation. I will not be buying this item in the future.

Pressed Powders -MAC - Select Sheer Pressed Powder
rated 3 of 5

I do like the sheer coverage and soft finish. However, NC30 also turns orange on me and I used to wear C-30 studio fix (more yellow than NC). What the shame since MAC is my favorite cosmetic brand.

Pressed Powders -BeneFit Cosmetics - Get Even
rated 2 of 5
candyland 10/26/2003 5:43:00 AM

I am not too crazy about this powder although #2 medium seems to be a great color match. I find it to be a bit powdery and masklike and I prefer to stick with NARS pressed powder.

Pressed Powders -Hard Candy - Peace Powder
rated 5 of 5
candyland 10/26/2003 5:41:00 AM

Cloud is such a perfect color for my golden yellow skintone and this is by far the best pressed powder I've used. The powder is super find and provides light coverage which can also be built up. It does not cause any breakout and lasts me almost 9 month. What a great deal-highly recommend for anyone.

Fragrances -Garden Botanika - Eau de Parfum Custom Fragrance
rated 3 of 5

The custom fragrance that I chose was PINEALLE and for some reason it smelt more like pina coloda. I wasn't totally crazy about it but decided to keep it anyhow. However, I will not purchase it again though.

Lipstick -Real Cosmetics - Lipstick

I also got the color Aurora-a warm red that flatters any skintone. It goes on very creamy and lasts me 3-4 hours. I highly recommend Real lipsticks.

Treatments -Ole Henriksen - Invigorating Night Gel
rated 2 of 5

I did not like this night gel since I have oily/acne prone skin. Maybe it hydrates too much and leaves my skin greasy afterward. I will use my PTR glycolic gel instead.

Pressed Powders -NARS - Pressed Powder
rated 5 of 5

Beach is a perfect color match for summer and the silky finish makes my skin look nearly flawless. NARS pressed powder is by far my favorite pressed powder and I will definitely purchase it again and again.

Powder -MAC - Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
rated 3 of 5
candyland 7/11/2003 6:59:00 PM

The color is perfect, the packaging is cute, and it never breaks me out, either. However, it makes my face extremely greasy after 2 hours of using. I don't think I'll repurchase it again though.

Treatments -Peter Thomas Roth - Glycolic Acid 10% Hydrating Gel
rated 5 of 5
candyland 4/1/2003 6:19:00 PM

This is by far the best AHA product I've tried especially it's made in gel base which is great for normal to oily skin. I've noticed some immediately improvements and I tend to have less whiteheads and blackheads.
