Styling Products -Victoria's Secret - So Sexy Smoothing Shine Serum

KICKASS. that's all i can say...well, there's more. this stuff is light but makes my hair (MY hair) soft, and shiny, and smooth, and gorgeous. i love love love love this stuff. i would very definitely compare this to the famous but regrettably discontinued l'oreal anti-frizz serum. this may even be better. it never gets greasy or heavy, and it smells wonderful, and *sigh*. just try it, dammit, you'll get what i mean! <3 kADY

Moisturizers -Philosophy - when hope is not enough replenishing cream
lost_american516 3/5/2007 10:45:00 PM
YES! this stuff has the texture of whipped butter, and after i do the whole emulsify-smear-between-fingers-pat-onto-face like they show you, my skin is soooo soft and smooth...but not greasy or sticky or heavy! this is a fantastic moisturizer that keeps away dryness and doesn't break me out!<3 kADY

Moisturizers -Philosophy - Hope in a Bottle
lost_american516 3/5/2007 7:18:00 PM
this is a nice moisturizer. i never thought with my crazy skin that just 'lil bitty 2% SA acid moisturizer would clear my skin up, but it's definitely helped. i love how they call it "for congested skin", it somehow makes it feel extra good going on. my face is very smooth and soft, and though i don't like the immediate texture it takes on my face, it's still very effective and comfortable. <3 kADY

Masks -Philosophy - The great mystery
lost_american516 3/5/2007 7:14:00 PM
i think this is meant to moisturize and exfoliate at the same time. it has the consisentency of vaseline and leaves my face very smooth and soft. it doesn't break me out...i actually think it kind of helps to prevent it somehow...<3 kADY

this stuff is amazing! the SA tried it on me in the store, and wow! my skin was several shades lighter, the acne marks had all faded, the redness was gone, and while the actual blemishes were a brighter red, it had calmed by the next day. this really helps prevent acne and exfoliate. i love it!!! <3 kADY

Treatments -Dermalogica - Gentle Cream Exfoliant
lost_american516 2/23/2007 11:26:00 PM
i can't believe i idn't review this stuff before! i got this exfoliant on a trip to hawaii (it was responsible for the amazing results of a facial i had). i just smear a thin layer all over, wait about a half an hour, and when i wash it off, wow! glowy, smooth, lovely skin, no rubbing or irritation required! it's not drying either (FYI, i'm oily/acne-prone). the price is up there, but it's really worth the money. i highly recommend! <3 kADY

Moisturizers -Wet 'n' Wild - Fresh Face Clear Skin Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 15 [DISCONTINUED]
lost_american516 2/22/2007 10:00:00 PM
well...i have oily/acne-prone skin, and i want some sun protection during the day. this stuff got good reviews so i tried it...i really don't like the texture, it felt heavy to me, and it didn't soak in much. i also suspected it of breaking me out....no confirmation as to whether this was true. however, i think it's pretty good. i mean, it moisturizes...something that secretly makes me fond of it, though? it has licorice extract, which is known for it's brightening properties on the skin- very impressive for someone who has hyperpigmentation and scars. <3 kADY

Masks -Clinique - Total turnaround 15 min mask
lost_american516 2/22/2007 9:56:00 PM
eh...this stuff was good, but probably just not what i was looking for. i wanted something to fade my acne scars...this didn't seem to affect them much. in fact, it didn't seem to do much of anything for me, except some smoothness. but it's possible i was just using it wrong, and everyone else seems to like it okay, so i'll give four lippies...<3 kADY

Moisturizers -Kose - Sekkisei Cream
lost_american516 2/15/2007 10:23:00 AM
okay, i'm just writing this review as a base for an update i will give later...i just bought this stuff yesterday, and i'm hoping it will ad a nice glow to my skin, help soothe my acne, and most of all, fade some uuuuuggggly post-acne marks. it's nice and light (i know from the one time i applied last night), and although it smells a lot like bug spray, it's not enough to put me off. so this morning, my mom saw my skin and said, "wow! your skin looks so much better! it looks so....fresh. and your blemishes are drying up." i'm thinking the blemish thing is due to my DDF sulfur masque, but the rest of it...well, we'll see when i update next! <3 kADY UPDATE: i haven't been using it long enough to see real results, so i can't say much for that. the reason i'm quitting? feels too heavy for my oily skin, even at night, and doesn't moisturize the dry spots around my nose...taking my lippies down to 4...

Cleansers -St. Ives - Apricot Face Wash -- Blemish and Blackhead Control
lost_american516 2/5/2007 1:21:00 AM
this stuff is probably the best SA cleanser out there. it's gentle, doesn't break me out, helps with acne, and leaves skin smooth. my only complaint is that it probably doesn't help with the severe dryness in the folds of my nose...but my face is soooooo smooooooooth and tinglyyyyy. <3 kADY

Crème -Bobbi Brown - Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation
lost_american516 12/18/2006 5:56:00 PM
i'm not sure about this stuff...okay, i have a lot of acne scarring and ugly skin in general, and i was recommended this by the saleslady when i tried to buy the stick foundation by bobbi brown. she color matched me and all that good stuff, and unsure, i went home...so i put it on just about 20 minutes ago, and while the color match is great and it covers everything, it looks really fake, like one of those MAC devotees whose face looks like a grocery store birthday cake. also, i'm wary about these reviews that say beware for the acne-prone/sensitive, which is definitely me. it may just be the powder, but i know i didn't just out too much on, i used a very light hand. another thing, this feels very masky. so i guess it's good for covering things up and the colors, but i'll have to see about the possibly incoming breakout. try it, if you don't like it,you can always get a refund. <3 kADY
