Concealers -Clinique - Advanced Concealer
lzphill 9/21/2012 1:32:00 AM
I really like it. I use it for acne scars and existing pimples. Coverage is great and it seems to actually dry up the pimples I do have and make them go away faster than not using makeup. Good price and a tube lasts forever (have had this one for years). Only wish they made this in more colors. Will continue to buy this and only this for all my concealer-related (and eyebrow tinting) needs!!

Crème -Clinique - City Base Foundation
lzphill 9/21/2012 1:22:00 AM
I love this foundation because it is the only thing I can find that gives me even coverage and most importantly, does not irritate my acne prone skin! I am extremely prone to break outs and this is the only foundation that doesn't contribute to break outs. I wish it had less shine to it for those of us with more oily skin, but its nothing a few blotting sheets can't correct. Also, I wish they had a larger range of colors since there are really only a few options and that there was the option to buy additional application sponges like the one in the compact because I like to switch mine out every once in a while and appreciate the quality of this sponge more than the ones you can buy anywhere else. I will continue to buy this product in the future and have already been using it for 12 years now.

Liquid -Clinique - Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup

I really wanted to like this product. It is easy to apply and there is a wide range of colors to make sure you get a perfect match. Coverage is great and the finish is very natural and youthful overall. You also get a good amount of product in the tube, since you don't have to apply much. Now for the downside..... At first I was pleased with the product. I have extremely oily areas to my skin (T-zone, areas to right and left of nose, and chin) and this doesn't get rid of shine totally if its really hot outside but the oil will dry up once one cools off if you do tend to sweat a lot. All was well and I had switched from the only other foundation that has ever worked for my EXTREMELY acne prone skin (adult hormonal acne that also flares up with products it doesn't like), the Clinique City Base compact foundation. That was until I started getting pimples and blackheads all over my face, particularly in the chin, forehead, and between my nose and cheeks areas. Now, I have little blackheads and bumps all over and several painful cysts that aren't too visible but only because they are still under the skin. Guess I will be ditching what I have left of this product and going back to the City Base and use of oil blotting sheets. A light sheen and the need to blot beats massive breakouts consisting of bumps and painful cysts any day! I caution against the use of this product to anyone who has extremely acne prone skin!!

Treatments -Pantene - Fine Hair Solutions Detangler

I noticed lots of good reviews for this product, but it did not work for me. It was very heavy feeling and weighed down my fine, already stick straight hair. It left a greasy feel and I think the hydrogenated castor oil that is in the product gave me zits. I bought it mainly to detangle, but it didn't seem to detangle at all and maybe made it worse. My hair still broke off, pulled, and fell out with combing. It made my hair really wet too and took forever to dry out.
