Loose Powders -Ben Nye - Neutral Set translucent powder
sammers 1/21/2010 7:56:00 PM
This is just as good as MAC Blot, for a fraction of the price. This doesn't come in a sifter jar, so I just used one that I already had. I use my BE powder brush for application. I purchased this on Amazon.com but you can find it on many Theatre makeup websites.

Foundations -L'Oreal - Ideal Balance Quick Stick
sammers 3/8/2008 12:06:00 AM
I have this in buff and it matches my skin perfectly. It is working well for me during the winter months, but the true test will be during our humid summer. It is very easy to apply and has a matte finish.

Liquid -Classified Cosmetics - ERA Face Spray Foundation
sammers 3/8/2008 12:04:00 AM
I couldn't wait to get this in the mail and had high expectations after reading the reviews. The color was wrong and the coverage was too sheer. I tried applying with a sponge and spraying it on, but neither application worked for me. I used the color matching program on the ERA website, but it was too light.

Urgh, I was so disappointed in this compact foundation. I had high hopes for it, but the powder just sat on top of my skin. YUCK!

Treatments -Jan Marini - Bioclear

I have this in the cream and have been very pleased with how my skin looks. It doesn't control the oil, but it helps keep my skin smooth. Will definitely purchase again. EDIT: I switched to the lotion and like it better. Fantastic product!

Cleansers -Desert Essence - Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Organic Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi
sammers 5/11/2007 10:14:00 AM
I have been very pleased with this face cleanser. It is all natural - which I love - and is great for oily skin. Some people may not like the medicinal smell. I can actually tell a difference in how 'clear' my skin looks. Update: This wasn't quite as good as I initially thought it was so I'm take off a few lippies.

This is my favorite Tea Tree Shampoo. I never have a dry itchy scalp when I use this. I follow with the Tea Tree or Aloe Conditioner (both are great).

I used MD Forte products before descovering this cleanser. I think it works just as well for a fraction of the price! :) UPDATE: This cleanser is ok. I have been using Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash which I like much better.

I love this product! It has helped control my oily skin and diminish adult acne. My skin looks so much better after using this........ I have also tried the 2% BHA Liquid and it works just as well.

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Matte

Wonderful makeup for oily skin - especially for those who live in a humid climate. It has great coverage and doesn't have a "fake" look. I have tried Clinique, Lancome, Revlon, Prescriptives, Bare Escentuals and Loreal. I use this in Warm Tawney and it matches my skin perfectly.
