Garnier Skin Renew Daily Regenerating Moisture Cream

Good moisturizer

I got this product when I was looking for a somewhat thick cream to relieve the dryness caused by my prescription acne medication (topical). I soon started using it on my whole face because it makes my skin so smooth and moisturizes so well without feeling too heavy or greasy. The only problem I have with it is the smell, which isn't bad, just a really strong, perfume-like scent. It isn't bad enough to make me stop using the product, or deter me from buying it again, though.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup

Favorite foundation

This is the best foundation I've tried. I use the shade 10, classic ivory. I have somewhat oily skin that gets flaky around pimples, of which I usually have a few, and this stuff covers but doesn't emphasize the dry areas. It's very smooth and goes on easily. I use it with a damp makeup sponge for all-over coverage that looks very natural, and then I use it as a concealer with a concealer brush under my eyes and on pimples. Even with the acne, I get compliments on my skin, and that's pretty awesome.

Almay Smart Shade Concealer

Good concealer

This concealer was great for the dark circles under my eyes. Other concealers I've used look cakey and either too light or too dark over the under eye area, but this one stayed smooth and blended in perfectly while still covering the darkness. It wasn't thick enough to cover pimples, though---it didn't cover the redness much at all.
