BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15

i have very sensitive skin

I've gone through hundreds of dollars in drug store brands, I've tried everyone of them and ended up itching and burning and getting red skin after wearing it for only a few hours. I thought I couldn't wear makeup and Bare Escentuals changed that. It's not perfect coverage but it's enough for what I need. I use many of the Bare Escentuals products, foundation, warmer, etc....I still can't use their primers, face wash, or lotions....my skin is still too sensitve for that.

CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast

not bad, but not wonderful

I picked this up wanting something quick and easy as I only have about 5min before heading out the door for work. Its not bad, the colors are very pretty, the sparkle isn't intense, and it can be layered easily for darker colors. What I didn't like is the angled color skipped when i went to put it in the crease of my eye. It has a tendency to migrate to the crease of my eye and leave dark lines there at the end of an 8hr shift. It can be easily worked back out again with the tip of my finger, and it still doesn't look bad. I have sensitive eyes and I can't wear this product all day, my eyes burn after about 10 hours in it. All in all, it's not the worst product I've ever tried, I love the silver and purple colors that I picked up, and I will still continue to use it for work ,but then I'm going to take it off and give my eyes a break. I won't be buying anymore though.

Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Care with Almond Oil Conditioner

Bad for sensitive skin

I have really sensitive skin, with a dry rather itchy scalp. I love Head and Shoulders shampoos and they cause no problems for me. This conditioner however causes some massive issues. My skin burned when I rinsed it off, and my scalp is actually numb from it! I'm not going to be using this product again.
