When I didn't want to spend so much money on my lancome teint idole ultra 14hr I purchased this. It works great especially for the price. I use a brush applicator and tht makes it look more even. Has not broken me out and does have a nice matte finish. I like it a lot. Good price and easy to find. Hopefully they do not discontinue this as all my fav makeup has been getting discontinued )-:

HG face wash. Best I have ever used and I have used plenty. Great for sensitive skin. Always leaves your skin sqeeky clean and it lathers so well. You only need half a pea size with this stuff. Works great with the lotion confort toner. Best products. I love Chanel and I highly recommend this cleanser. It lasts forever too. I still have mine from 6 months ago.

Toners -Chanel - Lotion confort silky soothing toner

Although this toner is so expensive, to me it is worth the cost. Best toner hands down. So soothing and calms my skin. Using this with the mousse confort face wash has changed my skin for the better. I didnt break out with these products. When I ran out and used another toner my skin started to break out. This is my HG toner! Def try it.

Fragrances -Cacharel - Promesse

Absolutely love this fragrance. I always get compliments when I wear this. It is hard to find though. It smells very similar to Versace's Bright crystal perfume. They are both pink too. But honestly I like the smell of Promese better.

Foundations -Sephora - Mineral Double Compact SPF 10
rated 5 of 5

This is my HG face powder. Best compact ever!!!! I have used BE and EM and way more searching for the best compact. Not only does this not have bad ingredients BUT it has great coverage. It works as good as MAC to me. But without the crappy ingredients MAC has. I really do like the sponge in it too. I use a brush though but the sponge is great for touch ups. I will always be using this product!! I hope they never discontinue this amazing product.

Moisturizers -Desert Essence - Daily Essential Moisturizer
rated 5 of 5

i was afraid to use this cause i didnt want to break out from it but realized i have used alot of products with alot of ingredients(natural and Very un-natural) but boy am i happy i tried this. it has literally changed my face. it it so amazing. makes the best makeup base than anything iv ever used. including $30 makeup primers. this leaves your skin so matte. it controls oils too. before this i used cetiphil lotion and i looked like a grease bag. my skin was so oily looking and im not even that oily at all. it was ugly. so i got fed up and used this and its been like 4 or 5 days and no breakouts so far (knock on wood) and i dont really see how it could unless you are sensitive or allergic to any of these natural ingredients (besides he methylparben whch is not natural but the moisturizer works so good i dont care) this is my highest grade moisturizer and iv tried 30-70 dollar creams. they all pale in comparrison. try it out. would be very good for oily skin.UPDATE: has been 2 months since iv been using this cream all over my face and no breakouts which was something i was scared of but nope nothing. love this cream and love desert essence products

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lustreglass in Instant Gold
rated 5 of 5
hollyjackson 1/20/2008 4:23:00 PM

So i have always said i am not a lipgloss person. too sticky and annoying. i usually like matte colors too. my sister gave me this lipgloss and i figured i'd try it. i would have never bought this though just because its pricey and like i said i am not a lipgloss person. BUT i love this lipgloss!! i love the applicator. it feels so soft and good on my lips and the color is pretty. i think when im done with this i am going to buy one..maybe another color just to experiment. maybe i will find a color i like more.

just got this stuff with the conditioner and i like it a lot. my hair is naturally brown. no dye and i never blow dry it. so it works very good for me.I love the smell of tea tree oil so it doesn't bother me. it feels like it really cleans your hair and like it could take product from your hair off easily. i'll keep buying the shampoo and conditoner (:

Pressed Powders -Physicians Formula - Mineral Wear Talc-Free Face Powder
rated 4 of 5
hollyjackson 1/15/2008 10:03:00 PM

i love the coverage and that it looks matte and it has a sunblock and that it doesn't have AS much ingredients as most makeup but more than a lot of mineral makeup. i would use this everyday BUT the ONLY thing that sucks is that the lightest colot translucent light is TOO dark for me. if they made a lighter shade it would be perfect!!!! but i just hate how it gets darker throughout the day its too peachy. i have yellow undertones but am light.

Powder -Everyday Minerals - Foundation - Intensive formula [DISCONTINUED]
rated 5 of 5

i am using retin a right now so my skin had dry patches yet is still oily on my cheeks by my nose. the minerals bring out my dry spots and my oily spots. by the end of the night i have all these dry flakey spots. even when i moisturized. so if you have dry skin this may not be the best foundation but i like the coverage and love the color. i am fawn. and i love that it only has 4 ingredients in it. the color and the naturalness of the makeup are the reasons why i still use it. if it was notso natural i wouldnt use it. it can be chalky. it just doesnt blend that well with dry skin..it also wipes off easily and streaks when you are in the sun. i wish it worked better for me ): UPDATE:so i switched my moisturizer from Cetiphil lotion to Desert Essences facial moisturizer and the mineral foundation looks A LOT better. i still have a couple dry patches because of the retin-a but my face looks a lot better when i switched moisturizers. it like the minerals look like second skin.
