Lancome Primordiale Lip Skin Recharge

The First Step to Wearing Red Lipstick

I was introduced to this trend when I realized that red lipstick looked horrible on me because my lips were too lined and dry. Though the $33/bottle price tag is a little hefty for something that's going on your lips, a little bit goes a long way and the results are worth every penny. From the first application, my lips were smoother, softer, and plumper. My lips are much more inviting now, and that's always a good thing ;)

CARGO Foundation - Oil Free

Good Product . . . but I still Shine!

This is a good product that contains NO oil and is lightweight with moderate coverage. Also, the packaging gets an A++ because it's so portable (compact packaging/lightweight). However, when I went to Sephora, I was told by an associate that because this product is oil free, my oily skin will NOT shine while wearing it, especially if I couple it with a translucent powder. Unfortunately, oil-free does NOT equate shine free, and unless I couple this foundation with Cosmedicine's Medi-Matte spray, I'm a giant oil slick by the end of the night.

Caudalie Gentle Cleanser

GREAT for Sensitive Skin

The smell of this cleanser starts my day off in luxury. It softens your skin instantly and gently cleanses the skin. My skin normally goes through a bit of a dramatic shock period when I switch cleansers, no matter how gentle. However, with this cleanser, there has never been an issue, and I've been using it for 4 months. The only complaint I have is that it's not very effective at removing make up, so I would advise a really good toner afterwards, or a pre-wash to thoroughly remove all traces of make up.
