L'uvalla Hydrating Milk Cleanser

The best cleanser I've ever used

I love this stuff. I can't rave enough about it. It leaves my skin moisturized and gently but thoroughly cleansed. It is not a harsh soap that strips your skin of oils. Ever since I started using this stuff (in conjunction with the Sanitas Oil Free Moisturizer), my skin has become so clear and much more supple than it has been in previous years. I'm on my third tube and plan on buying until they either I die or they discontinue it. Love, love, love this stuff.

L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Explosion Carbon Black Mascara

A little below average

While it does pick up on small, short lashes you didn't know you had, this mascara isn't that great. The formula is a bit heavy, a bit to thick and doesn't hold any curl (for my straight Asian lashes). It doesn't produce clumps, but it does tend to bunch my lashes together so that two or three of them become one lash (if that makes sense). For me, the best way to get really thick, natural looking, long lashes is by using the Shiseido Make Up Mascara Base and then applying Dr. Hauschka's Volumizing Mascara. My lashes become full, lovely and last all day. I'd only really use this if I wanted to put a dramatic finishing touch on the lashes at the outer edges of my eyes. Otherwise, I'd pass on this product.
