Misc Beauty Tools -Clarisonic - Mia

This is a fun little gadget in my beauty arsenal, but I ultimately don't feel like it has made that much of a difference with my skin. I bought it a year ago and have tried both the sensitive and deep pore cleansing brush heads. I bought this hoping it would help prevent breakouts, but I still struggle with them so this is not a miracle product for me. I'm in my early twenties so I can't really say whether it helps with wrinkles or not. I think the buf puf worked just as well for me if not better. Yes, this does help me remove makeup but it doesn't remove all makeup by any means. After using this I still have to use quite a bit of toner to make sure my face is really clear of makeup at night. I wouldn't repurchase this product.

Pressed Powders -Hard Candy - Welcome Matte Mattifying Powder
thebobcat64 10/11/2012 3:34:00 PM
I've been using this powder for a few months and I don't like it as much as the Maybelline Dream Matte powder. It leaves my face with a matte finish after I put it on, but it wears off after just a few hours. I have to either carry it around or blot my face throughout the day to keep oil at bay. Maybelline's powder lasted much longer in my experience. I do like the packaging. It has a cute little sponge to apply it with. I like to use this above any breakouts or discoloration instead of a brush because brushes tend to undo the coverage that my foundation gave me. It also has a mirror, which is handy.

Highlighters -Smashbox - Soft Lights - Shimmer
thebobcat64 9/14/2012 9:47:00 PM
I bought this on eBay thinking I'd just try it out. I've had it since January and I've seriously worn it every time I've worn makeup since then. I have very fair skin (NW20) and this is the best highlighter I've tried. I have Nars Albatross and I've used it maybe twice because it isn't very flattering on fair skin in my opinion. I will definitely repurchase.

Sunscreen -EltaMD - UV Physical SPF 41
thebobcat64 9/1/2012 10:31:00 PM
This is my favorite SPF right now. I can wear in and it has a tint so I don't feel the need to wear makeup on top of it. It is by far the best physical sunscreen I've found to wear on my face. I will definitely repurchase.

Moisturizers -Unlisted Brand - Merlot - Face Cream grape seed spf 15
thebobcat64 9/1/2012 10:28:00 PM
I bought this for half off at Ulta and have been loving it. It has a slight fragrance, but it does not irritate my skin at all. It doesn't leave a whitecast on my skin or leave my skin looking oily. I only wish it had a higher SPF value.

This improves drying time and works just as well as the actual brand product.

Styling Products -Paul Mitchell - Super Skinny Serum
thebobcat64 6/22/2012 1:21:00 AM
This stuff is wonderful! It speeds up the drying process and always gives me great shine and a great hair day. I have tons of hair products that just sit in my bathroom, but I always use this after I get out of the shower and have repurchased it. However, I would recommend buying the Generic Value Product version of this at Sally's because it works just as well for much cheaper.

This was two bucks at walmart and it smells better than some of my designer perfumes. I would definitely repurchase this and it's my favorite scent this summer.

Self Tanners -Sally Hansen - Airbrush Sun for Face
thebobcat64 6/22/2012 1:17:00 AM
I bought this at Five Below for two bucks. It works a lot better than the other facial self tanners I've used, but I still prefer the Clarins one to this. This does give a pretty natural glow.

I've received compliments on this every time I've worn it and I ended up having to buy more for my mom and my sister because they kept using mine. Would and have repurchased!

Skincare - Face -Evian - le Brumisateur
thebobcat64 6/22/2012 1:09:00 AM
This product is just expensive water as everyone else said in their reviews and I did end up returning it. I would repurchase this, however, if I was going camping because it's great at cooling you down and refreshing but it isn't necessary in my day to day life.

Sunscreen -La Roche Posay - Anthelios Xl SPF 50+ Fluide Extreme (for face)
thebobcat64 6/6/2012 4:52:00 AM
I got this for $10 off at CVS when they had a special. I had heard great things about the brand, but was disappointed by the greasy finish this left on my face. After using it I would try to set it with powder to give my face a matte finish, but it left it sticky. My brushes were still goopy the next day. If you want to try this I recommend L'Oreal Sublime Sun SPF 50 for face because it has the same ingredient list but was slightly less shiny. I much prefer the La Roche Posay tinted sunblock, which allows me to go without makeup. Also, this product doesn't contain mexoryl, which protects against UVA rays for several hours. I was under the impression that it did when I bought it but it contains cell-ox shield instead.

Sunscreen -Clarins - UV Plus HP Day Screen High Protection SPF 40
thebobcat64 5/23/2012 9:28:00 PM
This is a pretty good product, but it did leave a slight whitecast. It didn't make my face greasy or cause any breakouts. Considering the price, I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

Moisturizers -Lacura - Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream
thebobcat64 5/23/2012 9:21:00 PM
This is a great night cream. It is very moisturizing and the retinol evens out my skin tone. I haven't had any skin issues with it and it was only $4. My only complaint is that I can't find it at my Aldi anymore.
