Skincare - Body -Unlisted Brand - Homemade Tendskin
relylawrence 9/15/2009 3:36:00 PM
I've been using this for some time now, but I've been skipping the witch hazel and seem to do fine without it. This works just as well as Tend Skin for me. And you can't beat the price. I just fill a small container with rubbing alcohol, drop in a few uncoated aspirin and let dissolve. Before use, I give it a few shakes (the aspirin settles to bottom) and apply with a cotton ball. No more ingrown hairs!

Styling Products -Frederic Fekkai - Glossing Cream with Olive Oil
relylawrence 12/22/2004 10:52:00 PM
I have hair that goes a little bit past my shoulders and I use a pea-sized amount of this before (and sometimes after) I blow dry. My hair is left shiny and smooth, not heavy feeling. It's somewhat expensive, but will last forever since you only need a little dab each time. Great for flyaways.

Gels/Soaps -Philosophy - Cafe Au Lait 3-in-1
relylawrence 12/22/2004 9:51:00 PM
I would describe this smell as more like caramel brownie batter than cafe au lait, but it smells deeeelicious nevertheless! It lathers really well and my skin feels moisturized afterwards. I haven't used on my hair, because I was a little scared off by other MUA reviews of this as a shampoo. It is a good body wash, though. I wouldn't buy this again, simply because the price is a little to steep for me, just for body wash.

Masks -Kiss My Face - Obsessively Organic Pore Shrink
relylawrence 12/22/2004 9:42:00 PM
This is a great mask for people with large pores/oily skin. It has a creamy but thin consistency, and I usually put on one layer, wait maybe 30 seconds, and then apply another thin layer on top. I have to admit the smell is pretty strong and very herbal, but it works great. My pores appear to shrink and my face is smooth and not over-dry afterwards.

Masks -Murad - Exfoliating Fruit Enzyme Mask
relylawrence 12/22/2004 9:27:00 PM
I'm so disappointed...I am usually a big fan of Murad, but not so this time. I was expecting a bit more for the price ($30 for 1.7 oz.) This is a gel mask that dries clear after 10 minutes. After I applied the mask, there was a slight tingling on my face, so it seemed like something was happening. However, while I didn't have any negative reaction to it, I can't say that I really noticed any positive change either. My skin felt the same as when I regularly just wash my face, maybe a liiiitle softer, that's it. Save your money.

Conditioner -Philosophy - Shear Splendor
relylawrence 12/22/2004 9:18:00 PM
This is my new favorite conditioner! I've been using it for about a month now and it's great. I have color treated hair and I tend to get dry ends/oily roots. This conditioner soaks right in, instantly detangles, then rinses clean. I usually find that I have to switch between several conditioners each month, because of buildup, but I haven't had that problem here. My hair feels silky and light, not weighed down at all. Love it!

Treatments -Philosophy - Resurface Kit - The Microdelivery In-Home Vitamin C Peptide Peel
relylawrence 12/22/2004 9:13:00 PM
This is a great product. My skin felt soooo soft afterwards. I have oily, acne prone skin with large pores and it seemed to make my pores look smaller, and after about a month of weekly use, I have less blackheads. I was also suprised that my skin was not irritated AT ALL, as usually scrubs dry my skin out. I hate that it is so expensive, but you don't need to use a lot every time...it is so worth it!

Powder -Bare Escentuals - #1 and #2
relylawrence 12/17/2004 9:15:00 PM
I love this stuff!! I bought an introductory size kit with small sizes of the foundation, mineral veil, warmth, and a brush from a home shopping network and now I'm completely hooked. I was kind of skeptical at first, cause I never thought that powder could do the job, but it really is FANTASTIC! My skin is acne prone with large pores and BE gives me great coverage without making me breakout. I don't think my skin has EVER looked this good. I've also just converted my sister, my mother, and my best friend to BE. Highly recommended is an understatement!
