I have very sensitive combination skin. This mask is especially nice in the winter when my skin is dryer. I usually don't get facials at spas because the wreak havoc on my skin. When I use this mask, it feels like bliss--like a facial at the spa SHOULD make me feel. My skin feels hydrated, soft, and smooth--absolutely radiant (no acne or irritation). It is fragrance free and has a pleasant smell.

There are things I really, really like about this moisturizer and things I don't. The price is right. The good--it is light, absorbs quickly, feels refreshing, has a nice texture, a light, pleasant, almost fruity fragrance, it did not cause acne. This would be great for combo skin, when it needs a hydrating pick me up like after a day in the sun or a flight. The bad--the jar packaging compromises the antioxidants by exposing it to the air. Jar packaging in general is not good because it promotes bacteria growth from the oils in your fingers, etc. The ugly--this actually irritated my skin and made it red and itchy every time I use it. The culprits may be the grapefruit extract or fragrance which are always potentially irriating to skin. I do have sensitive skin so this may or may not be an issue for you. It is similar to Clinique's moisture surge (I like the spray gel)--Garnier is less expensive, but Clinique does not irritate or contain fragrance and come in a refreshing spray bottle.

I just tried this and LOVE it! I bought it in cream chamois. The color is right on, it feels light, it is natural looking, evens and brightens my skin tone, hides the fine lines, and just perfects my complexion all around. It does not irritate my skin, protects my skin from the sun, AND to my surprise, it covers the dark circles under my eyes!!!! I do not need my concealer any more--that is a money and time saver. It is even suppose to improve your skin and even out your skin tone--if it really does this it is a miracle product. If not, it is still my new foundation of choice. Even the bottle is great. It is plastic with a squeeze tube tip so it will not break or leak all over, especially around the opening. It keeps the procuct cleaner and fresher and you can dispense what you need. It looks great when applied with my fingers, but even better with a sponge or brush. It is not only even better, but really THE BEST! UPDATE: A professional makeup artist asked me if I changed my foundation or something--she commented on how great my skin and complexion looked!

These are by far the best makeup removing towelettes. The biggest bonus is that they are fragrance free and free of common skin irritants and a great facial cleaner and refresher. This is the only makeup removing towelette that does not irritate or break out my skin and it cleans well too. They are a bit pricey like similar products, but great on the go (redoing makeup after work, a long night of partying, using before or after working out or after a day at the beach or hiking, or paintball). This would be a great care package item for our troops in the desert to refresh their faces and wipe the dust off.

I am not liking this one much. It is heavily fragranced, very thick, caused my combo dry skin to break out and comes in a jar (which I hate because it breeds bacteria, gets under my nails, and causes any skin benefiting ingredients to break down). Pass. Try something else.

This deodorant has two things going for it--it really does go on clear and does not leave white marks on clothes, and the fragrances are not overpowering--both categories, much better than other brands. I do not sweat much so this works fine for me on a daily basis, but is not my choice for when I work, will be very active, or in hot weather. The anti-perspirant part is not as good as other brands.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Kiss & Stay Lipgloss
Awesome for longwearing lipstain product, but not for everyone.
I got this in Old Flame--love the color (slighty winey, deep mauve couple of shades of my natural lip color) and shine. This is an awesome product compared to other long wearing lipstain type products. The other types of 2 step lip products similar to this really dry out your lips and emphasize lines. This product is not, but it is a bit sticky. I prefer the sticky to drying, and it did last throughout the day. Tip: you absolutely have to follow directions and let the stain coat dry for at least 2 minutes before applying the gloss side. Beware: It is sticky so not preferable for a date with expected lip action. Also, crumbs and pieces of my napkin also stuck to my lips--so not great for eating with. It works great with drinks, though, and maybe a long day at work, a night of clubbing, or a convention where you want to look good without dealing with lipstick application (or smearing). Not convenient for everyday wear.

This moisurizer is chock full of problems. It is WAY too expensive for what is in it. It is in a jar so any antioxidants and other skin benefitting ingredients will quickly deteriorate once you open it to the air. Jars are gross. The creme gets under my nails and they are basically petri dishes for growing bacteria. This cream is very thick and waxy. It is very highly fragranced and really irritated my skin. Feel the burn! Hate it. A big disappointment for Lauder products. Luckily I tried a sample before purchasing.

I love the way this lipstick looks and feels. It is slightly sheer, but shimmery, dimensional, sexy, slick, and feels hydrating. It is well pigmented and comes in great colors. They are not long wearing, last a reasonably long time considering how hydrating they are. The only downside it that they are a little expensive and I do not love the "fig" scent. These feel and look so good, I will be getting a few more.

Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti Aging Body Wash - Deep Penetrating Moisture
High Quality, maybe not for sensitive skin
This is a very high quality, moisturizing body wash. It has a soft creamy lather and is moisturizing but did not cause any breakouts for me and seemed to cleanse well. It is inexpensive. It has a lot of vitamins and skin beneficial ingredients, but I don't know how useful they are when rinsed off. This body wash is very highly fragranced, perfumy which I did not care for. It also caused my skin to itch (I even skipped a day and switched to my normal body wash to make sure). If you do not have sensitive skin and like the fragrance, it is definitely worth a try. Wish they had a fragrance free version.
