Weleda Sea Buckthorn Replenishing Body Lotion

Sea Buckthorn body oil

I use the oil, not the lotion, but it isn't on the list, so I'll review it under the lotion. I have keratosis pilaris and this oil was recomended for that. In just 2 weeks of using it after the shower, my skin looks about 60% better and feels amazingly soft and smooth. I can still see bumps, but it's sooo much better than it was, and I've tried many lotions for this. It also has a nice light citrus smell that is pleasant but not overwhelming.

Jason Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

Great for sensitive scalps

This shampoo is great if you have an allergy to lauryl sulphates, as it has none. It is therefore a little less soapy and sudsy than a normal shampoo, but you get used to it quickly. It doesn't have an overpowering fragrance and it cleans well, simply, without feeling that it's leaving anything behind. The conditioner twin of this is very nice on dry hair and a dry scalp, also.

La Roche-Posay HYDRAPHASE XL texture riche

Very rich moisturizing

I am in my late 30s and have dry, sensitive skin. I used this in the winter when my skin was flaking from dryness. It is very, very rich and feels comforting to extremely dry skin. It doesn't have an obnoxious fragance, either. It probably didn't help my make-up stay on, but it did make my skin less angry and very hydrated. In the summer I stopped using it because it was too rich for warmer weather. However, I would NOT use this if you have oily or break-out prone skin.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat All-Over Brightening Pen

highlighting yes, banish shadows no

This is a nice highlighter for cheekbones and around the lips or over the eyebrows. But as for its legendary status as a fantastic undereye concealer, it didn't work for me. I have dark undereye circles and found it didn't do much of anything in that department. I don't get the hype.
