Aveeno Continuous Protection Sunblock for Face

Great protection, not greasy!

Long wearing, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Can't live without it!

Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

cute packaging, could be more lengthening

Wears well considering it's non-waterproof.

Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Pressed Powder

Great product, flimsy packaging

I continually buy this powder because I do like it, but the compact consistently breaks almost immediately. The hinges snap off and I end up needing a rubber band to keep it closed. Very annoying. And considering it just sits in my closet when I am not applying it, there is no reason for it to break so easily.

Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Concealer

Not up to usual Neutrogena standards

I am a huge fan of Neutrogena products but I absolutely hate the packaging for this concealer. There is only a small amount of product in the tube to begin with and you lose even more because it absorbs into the sponge tip and very little ends up on your skin.

NeoStrata NeoCeuticals Problem Dry Skin Gel

Weird, sticky consistency

I got this product as a freebie and since I have no need for my face to feel like it has a silicone coating (yuck) I decided to try it on my feet after a pedicure. It goes on slimy and slippery and becomes sticky and tacky so that it actually makes a sucking noise when you walk. I can not imagine anyone using this product on their face or having to actually pay $24 for the product.

L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes

Good idea, wish it had more staying power

This is a great mascara in terms of doing what it claims to do. It's a little freaky seeing the "tubes" land in the sink when you're rinsing it off... they look like little spiders. Rinses off easily which may not be such a good thing because it also smudges into my eyelid crease and onto my browbone after only a couple hours. Unfortunately it is harder to get off your skin than off your lashes.

Almay Bright Eyes Eye Base + Concealer

very disappointing

Minimal coverage, and the applicator makes it very difficult to dispense the right amount. Also, using a stiff brush on the sensitive undereye area is not advisable. This concealer is VERY yellow, so if you have a cool skin tone like I do, this concealer will not blend with your skin tone.

Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid Makeup

Love this foundation!

This is a great light-coverage foundation that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. My only complaint is that they have discontinued my favorite shade, Blushing Ivory.

Lumene Cleansing Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

Glad it was cheap

I wouldn't be happy if I had spent good money on this. The product merely smears mascara around the eye area and you end up having to wash of the residue with soap and water. Will definitely not purchase again.
