Mascara -Wet 'n' Wild - Mega Plump Mascara
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:45:00 AM
I bought this once on a whim because of its super cheap price. It says "Mega Plump", but it doesn't do the job by any means. I put on 3 coats and it still looked like I had nothing on my lashes. It also did not hold curl well and irritated my eyes big time. Will not be purchasing again.

Lip Treatments -Burt's Bees - Beeswax Lip Balm
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:42:00 AM
I have tried dozens and dozens of lip balms and have always come back to Burt's Bees. It doesn't get clumpy, dry out over time or leave a gross film. I love the scent and how it actually keeps your lips moisturized. I find with most lip balms they just layer on top and keep them moisturized for only a couple of hours and not actually helping your lips. I also enjoy that fact that Burt's Bees is natural, definitely a plus!

Mascara -L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara 
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:38:00 AM
This is my go to mascara right now. Its gives me the look I want to achieve without giving my spider-lashes or having to put on a bunch of layers. I have never had the problem of it giving my raccoon eyes or the such. The only complaint I have is that after a few hours my eyes tend to get irritated, even with a new tube.

Powder -Cover FX - Cover Fx - Powder Fx
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:32:00 AM
I use this powder in E0 and have gone through, if I remember correctly, 3 things of this powder. I love that it is specifically made for sensitive skin and it has yet to break me out. The thing you need to keep in mind with this powder is that it is a fairly heavy power and can look cake-y pretty easily. I'll usually do a light dusting all over my face to get it matte and apply a little extra under my eyes or anywhere else that needs it. The product tends to last me a fairly long time as well, but I only use it every other day. One pan will usually last me about 5 months. Overall, I think this is a great product for this with very sensitive skin and are looking for good coverage.

Skincare - Face -Acne.org - Organic Jojoba Oil
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:27:00 AM
When I first started the regime, I picked up this product to help moisturize my skin as it got used to the new products and I loved it. I actually tend to use this for everything. I love using this as a makeup remover, as it leaves my skin so soft and smooth. And as someone who has been very prone to breakouts, this has never caused me to breakout. I once even used this on my husbands sunburn when it began to peel and it helped moisturize and heal it up faster. Definitely a handy product to have. I have had this for about 6 or 7 months and am still on my first bottle with about 1/3 of the product left! Will definitely be repurchasing!

Moisturizers -Acne.org - Moisturizer
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:23:00 AM
Out of the entire regime, this is the only product that I am not as enthused about. I have used both the old and newer formula and I do prefer the newer. I have found this moisturizer works pretty well with my skin, as it does not irritate or cause any breakouts and keeps my skin fairly normal, oil wise. The only problem I have had is that from time to time, this moisturizer will pill and roll off my skin. I have no idea what causes it, as it only happens once in awhile and I don't change anything. So that can be a real pain. When I did first start the Acne.org regime, this wasn't quite moisturizing enough, as my skin was getting used to the treatment and was very dry. I did add some jojoba oil and that helped a bit, but its just the process of your skin getting used to the regime. Overall, it works well with the other products I use, so I won't be changing it and will continue to buy.

Cleansers -Acne.org - Cleanser
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:16:00 AM
I use this cleanser along with the rest of the Acne.org regime. Its a very gentle, fragrant free cleanser. It is so gentle I have even used it to removed eye makeup and have no eye irritation. I love that it isn't drying and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight after using the product. I am on my third bottle and will be repurchasing.

Treatments -Acne.org - Treatment
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 9:09:00 AM
I'll start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE the Acne.org skin regime, it has truly changed my skin and made me much more confident. I have now been using it for about 8 months and my skin has never looked better! I can't even go over the dozens of brands I have gone through to try and achieve clear skin and this regime was my last shot until I went to prescriptions. Well, no need for prescriptions now! I also want to make it very clear that it is crucial to follow the regime and stick with it. When I first started the regime, my skin was very sensitive, dry and flakey and that lasted for a couple months. This was due to the large amounts of the treatment you need to use and your skin gets used to it. It was around month 3 or 4 that I really began to see the changes. I personally do not use the treatment on my forehead, as I have never broken out there and it already tends to get a little dry. Twice a day I use the treatment generously after letting my skin dry from using the cleanser. This is the step the tends to really get rid of the breakouts and keep them away. I'm already on my third bottle of this and will definitely continue to use!

Treatments -Acne.org - AHA+
musicgeek00 4/5/2011 8:59:00 AM
I started using this product when I got 2 or so months into the Acne.org skin regime. At first I used it for spot treatment and then started using it every other not as my night cream. I absolutely love this stuff. It has faded acne scars that I've had for months, almost a couple years. Keep in mind these were pigment scars, so I had lots of purple/red faded dots all over my face. The tube will last you forever, too! I think I've been using this product now for 6 or 8 months and will definitely repurchase when I run out!

Liquid -Almay - Clear Complexion Blemish Healing Makeup
musicgeek00 1/3/2011 2:42:00 PM
I have sensitive acne prone skin and am now on my second bottle of this foundation. As long as I make sure I regularly change/clean my foundation sponge it doesn't break me out. The only problem I have is the coverage isn't all that great, but you can build it up okay. I would definitely recommend this to someone with acne prone or sensitive skin who is looking for something cheap.

Mascara -Smashbox - Lash Primer
musicgeek00 9/13/2008 4:50:00 AM
Fantastic product! I was having a hard time with my lashes lately, as they were really brittle and not growing well, which was strange. The Smashbox Mascara Primer was recommended by a friend to use as a treatment at night. I was a bit skeptical, but tried it and it works fantastic! I wouldn't use this as a base under mascara because its not very smooth in texture. But it truly does its magic as a treatment. My lashes are so much more lush and hydrated! =D

I LOVE this product. I have very fair skin and black hair. Lately I've really been into pinks and so I bought this little guy. It is amazing, it gives me the perfect color for my cheeks and doesn't budge and same for lips, for a day look I put on one layer and for more dramatic I put a few layers on. I've had soo many complements with this product.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Orange
musicgeek00 4/4/2008 3:15:00 AM
Amazing pigment and lasts such a long time. Its better for a nightime look if used properly. This shade could easily look very trashy if not applied right.
