Very wet formula. Gave great length and definition. A second layer gives a fuller look. Best to curl lashes before you apply so they don't get weighed down.

Moisturizers -Clinique - Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturizer

Did not moisturize! Left my skin dried out and itchy! I bought this along with the rest of the acne solutions line. My skin is fairly sensitive and combination. Usually, after washing, my face gets tight and dry and is irritated (making it more sensitive). I put on this moisturizer and it stung a little. Now, I know it has acne fighting properties in it. I was excited about that since it's in a moisturizer it will be in contact with my skin longer, the better to work its magic, right? Nope. It didn't moisturize! It dried my skin further and made it itchy. I used it twice (once in the evening before bed, and once in the morning before my makeup) with the same results. Left my skin dry and tight. I took it back and exchanged it for a more hydrating moisturizer.

I love this gadget!!! Makes my skin feel wonderful without making it super sensitive or raw feeling. When I use it on a regular basis my breakouts decrease dramatically, my skin glows a little more and feels softer and more even. I got the brush head for sensitive skin so I guess it's softer than the others. Fabulous little gadget, worth the investment, I'd recommend it to everyone.

Treatments -Clinique - Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector
cbm618 5/16/2010 10:19:00 PM
I guess when they say "dark spot" corrector, they really mean it. I have red spots on fair, acne prone, combination skin. This did absolutely nothing for me. Normally I adore Clinique products but this was definitely a waste of $50 for me. I didn't even like the way it made my skin feel after applying it. Oh well, live and learn.

Liquid -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup

This stuff is even better than my MAC foundations. It stays put all day. No smudging, smearing, or streaks. Great coverage. Very natural looking. My first complaint is the packaging. Theres no pump and you basically have to pour it out. My first time using it the foundation was thick and I had to pat the bottle to get it out. The second time I tried the same thing and half the bottle dumped out. My second complaint is the smell. I guess its kind of a plastic-y. But that's only when you first apply it and it doesn't last. All in all, best foundation I've ever used.

love love love this stuff. does not budge once you've got it on and its dried. you've got a bit of wiggle room before then, so you have to be careful when applying. I keep the eye closed until its dry. Amazing colors. Totally waterproof. You do have to use a makeup remover to take it off, but why wouldn't you in the first place? Really fun to use. I'm building a collection I love them so much.
