Liquid -L'Oreal - True Match Super-Blendable Makeup SPF 17

I have very very pale skin, too pale for 99% of all drugstore and high end foundations. Even most light shades are too dark. I bought this in W1, and it was the PERFECT match. Exact same color as my skin. I loved this the first time I used it because it just looked so good. I set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder and about 3-4 hours later my skin was a nasty, oily mess. It feels gross to the touch. My seond complaint about this is that it broke me OUT! Not a lot of big red ones (I did have a few though) just little, but very visible, bumps where my pores were so clogged. This happened after about 2-3 uses. I just love that this matched my skin so well. It may work better in the winter when my skin is drier.

Shampoo -TRESemme - Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo is absolutely AWFUL! I would give it a zero rating if I could! All it did was make my hair feel heavy and look even oiler! It also leaves behind a really gross white residue. I really wish I hadn't got this. I will not be repurchasing!

I have a love/hate relationship with this product. When using certain brushes, the color payoff is very poor. With other brushes though, it's a really pretty color. When my skin is paler it shows up better. Overall, it's a pretty good blush.

I bought this foundation only because it looked like it would be light enough for me (I wear the lightest shade). It was a little dark for me, but in natural light it was barely noticeable. This is an ok foundation. It covers redness, but not acne. It does stay on well and doesn't oxidize. I don't know if I'll be repurchasing this, because I prefer my Revlon Colorstay over this one. I would probably like it more in the summer, when I'm darker and want something lightweight.

I love this palette! The colors are so pretty and have extremely good pigmentation! The only downside is that sometimes they have a little bit of fallout. It's totally worth the money!!

Foundations -Revlon - ColorStay Makeup with SoftFlex SPF 6 for Combination/Oily Skin

This is the best liquid foundation I have ever tried! It has a shade light enough for my extremely pale skin! Pros: Covers well Stays on Controls oil Cons: Packaging Can look cakey if not applied right and blended well

Liquid -Lancome - Teint Idole Ultra 24h

I wanted to love this foundation, especially since I paid around $45 for it. It's very hard for me to find foundations light enough for my very pale skin. This looked like the perfect match at the counter and the first time I used it, but after a few uses it was too dark, and it was the lightest shade. Also, it didn't really cover anything at all, it was extremely dry and hard to blend, and it looked very unnatural. Overall, this isn't a very good foundation, especially for those with fair skin.
