Lancome Definicils Pro Mascara

Pretty good

I am now on my second tube of this mascara. I realize that mascaras have a short shelf life, but this one seems to lose it's magic within a month or so. My lashes are very long, but light enough to require a mascara. When fresh, this provides nice, smooth, and separated lashes, yet no noticeable thickening. The black mascara is dark, but not as rich as I wished it was. My biggest complaint is that when I apply this to curled lashes, I have to be careful or else my lashes will hit my eyelids and mess up my eyeshadow.

Elizabeth Arden Extreme Conditioning Cream SPF 15

Too Thick

I've had this moisturizer for at least 6 months now. I have oily, acne-prone skin and this product is definitely not for me. However, if used on certain dry spots- it helps. It helps smooth out your skin, but it made me feel like I was suffocating my skin by wearing this. This is a very thick cream- so if you have dry skin, by all means try this out.

Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser

What a Pleasant Surprise

I bought this product a while ago, and it stayed in the bag- which I forgot all about. A few days ago, I found it and started using it. My face was a complete wreck- probably one of the worse breakouts I've had within the past year. Within a matter of days, my skin has cleared up almost completely. I was quite surprised to get this result from a $5 cleanser I bought from the drugstore. Yes, it does have 10% benzoyl peroxide in it and the use of a good moisturizer and a sunscreen is recommended. For anyone out there that has oily, acne-prone skin and has tried everything else (ProActiv, Shisedo, and all the others)- try this one.
