    Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

    This is my favorite foundation

    I have oily and slightly blemished skin (pimples, redness, large pores) so I need something that covers really well and lasts through a whole day of work. I also tend to sweat easily and that just totally increases the greasiness. So when I found this foundation, I was amazed at how well it covered my icky skin and how well it lasted! It doesn’t make me less oily, but when I blot my face, it doesn’t all just come off either. The foundation goes on smoothly and there are probably enough colors to match almost any skin tone. I sometimes had to buy 2 shades and blend them myself between seasons if I got a nice tan. But I know I’ll always use this, so it wasn’t too much of a splurge for me. Since this is considered full-coverage, not everyone would like it. Sometimes when my skin is more clear or if I’m not going to be out of the house for a whole day, I’ll put on something lighter, maybe a bb cream or just powder. This is definitely perfect for a night out, or if you like full coverage.

  • Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo

    Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo

    This is one of my favorites

    I'm addicted to this shampoo and conditioner. I bought it for the first time probably over 5 years ago and have continued to buy it every 6-9 months since. I alternate products usually but this is one I come back to time and time again. The shampoo gives you a really nice lather and stays nice and foamy until you rinse. You only need a little squirt to cover your whole scalp, though if you have thicker hair like me, you may need a little more. The shampoo rinses out fast and easily and doesn’t leave any residue or film on your hair. The corresponding conditioner also goes on smoothly and leaves your hair silky soft. The scent is amazing! I love love love coconut scents and having a whiff of it from your hair is the perfect amount. I usually pick this up if it’s on sale from Whole Foods, or occasionally I’ll get it from one of the online vitamin/supplements stores.

    Mor Cosmetics Mor Essentials Body Butter

    I lOVE the way this body butter feels on my skin!

    Absorbs quickly and keeps skin smooth and hydrated for a while. I love the way it feels as hand cream, and it'll last forever.

  • Conair Jumbo Rollers Instant Heat Travel Hairsetter

    I liked the initial results for 30 minutes but the curls came out really fast. I have thick hair so I'm sure it would work better for girls with thinner hair. The curlers also don't get really hot.

    Paula Dorf Eye Primer

    Great primer, helps control oil, no creases!

    I wasn't sure a potted primer was a good idea but I took the advice from other forums and only used a littttttle bit and used a really light hand. I put on shadow and everything stayed on perfectly. Next test is to leave it on for a whole day.

  • Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer

    Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer

    No creases and lasting shadow!

    This primer goes on smooth and light and really works for my greasy eyelids to help eyeliners and shadows to stay put for hours. I've tried a few other brands but some of the others were too thick or came in a tube, which was hard to scoop out after a while. This tube is the perfect way to squeeze a bit out and a little goes a long way. I've been using my tube for over a year, a couple times a week and it's still not empty yet. But I already bought 2 more tubes, just in case haha. I have a habit of hoarding things I love just in case they discontinue it. The only bad thing is that sometimes when I don't use it for a while, you end up squeezing out a little oily clear liquid. Nt sure if it will dry it out, but it's just a minor oddity.

  • Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

    I have tried tons and tons of foundations and have been looking for something to cover up a slight breakout that I got from medication. I got a 10 day sample from Nordstrom and tried it one day and my friends were asking what I did, because my skin looked great! I was sold. I went and got a bottle immediately. I have used the double wear concealer for years but never thought the foundation would be useful... But I realized that the double wear foundation could take the place of concealer! The best thing about this foundation is that it really lasts and gives you almost an airbrushed look. It goes on smoothly and matte, and I always use a bronzes with a little shimmer that makes it all glow. Is a miracle actually! The only cons - its a little pricey, but well worth it. I use it 2/3 times a week and a bottle lasts 1 year. If you use your fingers to apply instead of a brush/sponge, it will last longer. The other con is that your skin looks sooooo good with this on, it's a little sad when you take it off! I usually save this for special occasions and weekends because the lasting power is soooo good. I tried finding other longstaying foundations that were comparable, but nothing stood up to this. It is really worth the price!

  • Maybelline New York Dream Smooth Mousse

    Maybelline New York Dream Smooth Mousse

    Eww... Makes skin oily and pores look giant!

    This is one of the worst foundations I have ever used! I started by putting the foundation on my cheek and it felt great. Smooth and it overed nicely. I scooped a little more out to cover my t-zone and omg.... Right when I went over my nose, all my pores looked like they were outlined and looked so large! I didn't understand what happened! So I washed my face and the foundation was still stuck in pores. I had to scrub a it to get it cleared up. I then tried my. Other foundation, Estée Lauder double wear, and it looked nothing like that. My pores were fine. I tried this again a few more times and within a couple hours of putting this on, it would turn orangey. Then it's almost like it would detach from my skin and try to leak off! If I touched my face with my hand, there would be a patch or orange on my hand. I had very high hopes for this and was looking for a cheaper aflternative for my Estée Lauder foundation but I think the quality IS very different and noticeable.

    It feels like it's working!

    I love the way this feels... it makes your lips sting a bit, then it goes away, but it feels like they are bigger. And i think they actually do look a little bigger as well, but it could be an illusion :)

    derma e® Makeup Remover

    Love this non oily remover

    I adore this eye makeup remover. I have used a bunch of other brands, and I got so sick of trying useless products, that I'd just go with raccoon eyes at night if my cleanser didn't wash it off. This stuff is kind of thick and gel like... you put it on the cotton pad and it melts the makeup away. I am very impressed and the bottle is pretty big, so it lasts a while. And it's not oily so it won't cause me to get those little white milia things that I've gotten from other removers.
