Sunscreen -Unlisted Brand - Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46

I thought by clear it meant the stuff wouldn't leave your face looking white. Not true. This stuff is the same white as most every other sunscreen. It makes my face look shiny. I don't like that. Took a while to figure out the clear means its supposed to clear acne spots cuz it has niacinamide in it. Gimmicky. I like the pump but can't tell how much is left. Not buying this again.

Just a super gentle but really effective cleansing water that even removes waterproof mascara. Much less expensive compared to other brands: Caudalie $3.88/oz, Koh Gen Do $3.84/oz, Bioderma $1.93/oz

I do no get the love for this product. The consistency is like a combination of honey and orange marmalade. Disgusting. At 10 minutes it was burning. After removing it I was blotchy and red. Horrible.

Sunscreen -Solbar - Sunscreen liquid PF30

I totally disagree with the reviewer below and apparently so do MANY others since on Amazon it's a 5-star product (16 reviews) and on Dermstore it's also rated 5-stars (33 reviews). This is a great sunscreen. It's the consistency of watery aloe vera and it's clear. Yes it does have a serious alcohol smell but it dissipates very quickly. I have very oily skin, VERY oily, and this sunscreen is great because it's not thick or greasy or goupy or oily. It's clear so it doesn't leave a whitecast and best of all it does not leave my face shiny. I got a sample from the dermatologist and loved it so much I bought it! Per the Dermstore site: Solbar PF Liquid SPF 30 is specially formulated for ultra protection from the sun's burning and tanning rays. Oxybenzone and Avobenzone (Parsol 1789) enhance the protection from long wave ultraviolet, which is particularly important to photosensitive or photoallergic people. This is a fragrance-free, Paba-free, non-sticky liquid that spreads easily and stays in place as applied. With its liquid base, Solbar PF 30 is especially suitable for persons with oily skin. Ingredients (per Dermstore website): Avobenzone (Parsol 1789)3%, Homosalate 12%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Oxybenzone 6.0%, Octocrylene 1.5%. SD Alcohol 63% V/v, Isobutyl Stearate, Cyclomethicone, PVP/eicosene Copolymer, Dimethicone, Hydroxypropylcellulose, Acrylates Octylacrylamide Copolymer.

Lipstick -Bobbi Brown - Rich Lip Color SPF - Rose Blossom

This is a very pretty color and looks nice and feels good. I have never written a review but after reading the utterly ridiculous so called review from the previous person I felt compelled to write one as an offset. To say her review is ignorant is an understatement.
