Sunscreen -Clinique - City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector Broad Spectrum 25 SPF
tmmkitten 6/29/2012 12:47:00 AM
Most sun screens for the face break me out, but this never has. It has antioxidants in it to help deflect free-radical damage ( the opaque packaging keeps them from degrading too), and it works as both my morning moisturizer and spf. It absorbs well and doesn't give me a rash or make my sensitive skin act up. It's pricey for being only 1.4 oz of product, but it works so well it's worth it to me.

Crème -Laura Mercier - Silk Creme Foundation
tmmkitten 6/29/2012 12:35:00 AM
This purchase was my first departure from Clinique or drugstore type foundations. I was very worried about the price, but I had heard such great things so I decided to try it out anyway. Even on my sensitive, dry/normal skin it looks great. I get minimal flaking if I haven't exfoliated in a bit, but otherwise great coverage, wear and finish. It is a little heavy in the summer, so beware if you expect to be outside for a long time.

Treatments -Neutrogena - Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting Concentrated Serum, Night
tmmkitten 10/24/2011 1:48:00 AM
I first purchased this to help get rid of some dark spots left over from acne, and because of the retinol in it, i hoped that it might help my skin break out less often. It really makes a diffence in how quickly my dark spots fade, and also helps even the texture of my skin out. I did notice a decrease in the amount of breakouts i get, and now only have pimples a few times a month. This is a holygrail product for me. I have been using it for 16 months and really can't imagine my skincare routine without it.

Cleansers -Alpha Hydrox - Foaming Face Wash

i have tried this product out for a month, but have decided to stop using. it strips my skin, and makes my face so "squeaky clean" it hurts and is irritated afterwards. i have terribly dry, acne prone skin and thought this could be a gentle cleanser, but it made my acne worse.

Pressed Powders -New York Color - Pressed Translucent Powder
tmmkitten 9/15/2011 11:01:00 PM
i purchased this because i needed a translucent powder, and needed something less expensive than usual. at first i was skeptical, but i really do like it. it doesn't get cakey, as long as you blot before you apply it, and it helps keep any oil at bay for several hours. i have very dry skin, so i use it only when i have used a very emollient sunscreen, or if i ever feel the need to touch up with it after applying concealer. i love that it doesn't highlight my dryness.

Powder -Milani - Even-Tone Powder Foundation

i stumbled upon this when summer came around and i found myself in need of a powder foundation to replace my liquid foundation, which the heat was melting off my face. i chose this on a whim, and really like it. it isn't the best powder foundation out there, but for the price and convenience of buying it at a local store vs. online, it is good enough in a pinch. used with a dense kabuki, over concealer, it lasts for 6-7 hours with little need to touch up.
