I broke out into tiny bumps after each and every use (and my skin is well behaved). Next!

Skincare - Face -Estee Lauder - Perfectly Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser
gideon 5/16/2003 12:29:00 PM
Yuck. The smell is marginally okay. This is a great idea and in theory should have been perfect, but it did not leave my skin feeling clean. It's a clear gel that lathers up quickly. Think shaving cream. It left a heavy film. This doesn't rinse very well. The SA told me that I wouldn't need toner afterwards but without it my skin felt so gross. You almost need another cleanser afterwards. I will never buy this stuff again.

Cleansers -Mario Badescu - Botanical Facial Gel

HG! I think I'm in love. The cleanser has a light grapefruit smell and an incredible texture. There is no lather. There is no foam. It's glycerin based and feels very smooth, creamy and gentle. I haven't experienced even a hint of residue and my oily skin feels incredibly clean. I will buy this again.

Cleansers -Origins - Get Down [DISCONTINUED]
gideon 5/5/2003 7:47:00 PM
This product was meant to work as a cleanser for oily skin. It's got a great texture and smell and contains small grains that exfoliate during use. Also contains White China clay to mattify (I think I just made up a word). My skin was so dry after using this that I'm now only using it as a mask. I won't be purchasing this again.

Moisturizers -Estee Lauder - Clear Difference Oil-Control Hydrator

Late 20's Combo/Oily Humid Climate I love the smell and the texture of this product but it just could not get the job done. I apply it in the morning and four hours later my face is an oil slick. How bad is it? I've used their DayWear Protective Anti-Oxidant CREAM with SPF 15 for the past two days and I'm less oily than I was when using the Oil-Control Hydrator.

Lip Gloss -MAC - Fancy That Lipglass
gideon 3/31/2003 2:02:00 PM
Another member suggested that I try this shade and I am so glad that I followed her advice! Initially, I wasn't sure that this shade would work for me. I thought it too bright an orange. On my lips though, which are darkly pigmented, this looks faintly peach. It's such a great color and has already become a staple. It's very subtle on me.

This color, beautiful in the tube, contains way too much gray for me. Much too ashy for this NC35. :(

Lip Gloss -Stila - Glaze Lip Polish
gideon 3/23/2003 5:48:00 PM
I love Stila's Lip Glazes and thought that I might like their Lip Polish as well. This particular color was very pretty but the taste was so terrible I thought I was having an allergic reaction to it. Yuck. Perhaps the tube I bought was bad, who knows. I won't ever buy this again.
