Dove Ultimate Beauty Care Deodorant

Keeps me fresh

It definitely did the job of keeping me both smelling nice and staying dry. The price is nice, especially with a coupon from the newspaper. It did dry clear, but I learned the lesson the hard way - wait 'till it dries before putting on my shirt. I liked that it did not irritate my skin, even after shaving.

L'Oreal Paris Advanced Revitalift Micro-Dermabrasion Kit With ReFinish Technology

Cleared my pores

The scrub had really fine particles to get into my pores and clear them out so that my blackheads weren't as noticeable. I was very diligent in going the full 2 minutes for scrubbing. I can feel a significantly smoother face after using it and the after-lotion is so nice and light!

Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 Acne Medication

Worked maybe too well

With diligent twice-daily applications, this medication did clear any pimple in a few days. However, it seemed to clear the surrounding skin as well, so once the pimple was gone I had to apply moisturizer to that area throughout the day so it wouldn't be flaky.

Nivea Skin Firming Body Lotion with Q10 Enriched Formula

Moisturizing but not firming

The lotion went on smoothly and was absorbed quickly so that my skin wasn't left feeling greasy. It did a great job keeping my skin moisturized the entire day, but it did not noticibly firm my skin.

Neutrogena Full Volume Fortifying Mascara

Smudges too easily

The mascara rarely made it through the day without leaving black residue below my eyes. The brush shape is annoying to apply mascara to the eyelashes.

Almay Oil Free Liquid Makeup Remover

Works well enough

It was able to take all of my mascara off, but it took a bit of swiping (which was surprising since I don't where much mascara). What bothered me was that it stung my eyes.
