This stuff is AWFUL! I used 6 coats and still couldn't get it to not look streaky and yuck. It chipped within hours. I'm not sure if it's just because it's matte, but I couldn't get a good application of this stuff to save my life. It went back to ULTA.

This has changed my life. I seriously mean it. I can wake up and not have to worry about shaving anymore. OK, the first time hurt quite a bit, but honestly the follow-ups are barely noticeable (and I have coarse dark hair). I would recommend this to anyone. Got a few ingrowns the first time, but I use am-lactin lotion 2-3x a week and no more problems with that. I use on legs, arms, and underarms. I touch up once a week, but could go longer.

Cleansers -Purpose - Gentle Cleansing Wash

Don't know why I stopped using this. Wonderful cleanser, no need to buy anything else (but I did, shame on me!) Agree that you can't travel with it no matter what, it leaks everywhere.

Loose Powders -Bare Escentuals - Mineral Veil
rated 4 of 5

This is the only BE product I like. Looks nice if you use a light-hand, otherwise it can look cakey. But it does a nice job of blurring minor skin issues.

Treatments -DDF - Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Tea Tree Oil
rated 4 of 5
jklimas 1/1/2009 11:53:00 PM

Price is not bad and it works pretty well on any under-the-skin pimples that are about to pop up. Can be drying if you get over-zealous, however.

Cleansers -Aveeno - Skin Brightening Cleanser
rated 2 of 5

Sad. This cleans well, but it's making me break out. My skin had been great for almost a year so I swtiched from Purpose to this, and now I can't go out without make-up. It's the only possible culprit.

Love this! Smells elegant and gentle. I get compliments all day long when I wear it and it just makes me feel chic!

Powder -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals ALL
rated 1 of 5

Awful. Just awful. Doesn't make me look any better, just makes me look like I put flour on my face. I'm an NC25, but none of the shades match me. They all have this orangey tint. And the coverage was not good. I can't jump on this bandwagon...

Polishes -China Glaze - For Audrey
rated 5 of 5

Love this! Even though the color is so bold, it goes on smoothly and doesn't smudge/streak (and I'm awful at doing my nails). Might go buy up the stock in case it ever gets discontinued!

Lipstick -BeneFit Cosmetics - 24k Sexy Gold lipstick [DISCONTINUED]
rated 4 of 5
jklimas 11/22/2008 6:20:00 PM

I really like this! Most lipsticks look way too severe on me, but this gives a nice sheen and hint of gold. But it's really nothing like a gloss (in my impression).

Eyeliner -Bobbi Brown - Gel Eyeliner
rated 4 of 5
jklimas 5/18/2008 7:10:00 PM

I use this with the BB eyeliner brush, so buying both is fairly expensive. The color is very nice. I find it a little tricky to apply and I usually end up putting on a thicker line because it's easier that way. I also sometimes end up with a big glob on the brush, but I work my way through it...

Eyeliner -NARS - Pencil in Kitty
rated 5 of 5

So pretty! Expensive but worth it. The color looks bold but once you put it on it's more subtle.

Primer/ Corrector -Laura Geller - Spackle Cream
rated 3 of 5
jklimas 5/18/2008 7:06:00 PM

Nice product so far. It really just primes your skin to put foundation on top - I don't notice that it fills in pores much.

Powder -Clinique - Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15
rated 4 of 5

So far, so good. This blends nice so I can use it just to even out my skin tone and I don't have to use it all over. Plus, SPF.
