Nars Single Eye Shadow

Pretty luxe gold

I got this eyeshadow last holiday season when Sephora was selling it for $9. Truthfully, I've barely worn it. It's great as a highlight, but it's so pigmented (true 24k gold) that I can't fathom wearing it all over my lid. It's too..."LOOK AT ME". If you love silky, attention-grabbing eyeshadow, this is for you. By the way, IIRC, this is very similar in color to the NARS cream blush in Gold Member.

DDF Pumice Acne Scrub

I think I'm in love.

I have oily/sensitive/acne-prone skin. I know, sucks for me. As of late, I've been putting my skin through hell with all of the glycolic acid and hydroquinone I've been using (I have a ton of acne scars). With aggressive acne (scar) treatments come SUPER dry peeling skin. This scrub is my savior. To be honest, it hurt the first couple times I used it (and I'm not one to scrub with a heavy hand). That's how effective it is. This is the only facial scrub that lifts up all of the dead skin on my face in one use. I should state that I only use this product twice a week. You have to use a good moisturizer (I use Cetaphil lotion) afterward, as the 2% BP will dry your skin.

Dermalogica Precleanse

Good Stuff

So, I kept hearing good things about this product, and even though the last thing I needed was an extra step in my skincare regimen I decided to try it out. Lucky me! I was able to score a professional size bottle of this for about $30 online. Also, as it turns out, this product does make my skin feel cleaner. Minty cleansers feel mintier and my makeup just melts away with no problem. The best thing is that it doesn't cause breakouts. I'm sure I'll repurchase.
