This is by far my favorite scrub of any I've tried, at any price. It's creamy, smells minty-fresh & the granules are very fine, so it's gentle to my rednees-prone skin. I keep mine in the shower, & I've even used it as a mild body scrub. It leaves your skin radiant, and your wallet full, since it's often under $3!

I just bought this gloss in Sheer Blossom last week - pure impulse buy! But I'm sooo glad I did. I like anything minty & this has just a hint of it, enough to plump lips and freshen breath. The color is perfect for everyday & the gloss is very comfortable to wear. I've tried every gloss imaginable. This is amazing stuff!

I come back to this shampoo a lot - it's reliable in that it moisturizes while it cleans & I can use it with a light or rich conditioner (I use either Biolage Detangling Rinse or Conditioning Balm) & get beautiful results. It has a light scent that doesn't bother me, even though I'm very sensitive, & it's concentrated enough to allow one bottle to last a pretty long time.

I've used this deodorant for several years now. It's perfect for me. I get the Powder Fresh scent - it smells so clean & light ( if I can't find it, I just get the men's unscented version). This keeps me dry all day & into the next if needed. The trick is to twist up a very small amount then swipe it on evenly, ensuring that it dries quickly & leaves no white residue on clothing.

I'm a huge fan of the Exuviance line. After numerous visits to the dermatologist & buying prescription creams that never helped the rosacea I have on my cheeks, I decided to try Exuviance. What wonderful results! These little round pads soaked in tonic are so refreshing when gently wiped across the face and neck, & they leave skin dewy. I use them at night, after the cleanser & before the night cream. My skin has improved in ways I never thought possible - it's clear, less irritated & youthful. Skinrise pads are a splurge worth making.

I use this mascara in the clear version as a brow gel, because it's not as stiff/sticky as other brands. The brush is a good shape to keep brows looking well-groomed, & for under $4 it's not a splurge!

I've been using these shadow/liner pencils for a few years now & they're great. I love that fact that the product is smudge & crease resistant - it really lasts through my monster days! I use them as liners for my upper lids, so it looks more casual than traditional liner, but they've done well when used to add color/definition to the lower lids too. My favorite color is On The Rocks because it matches my eye color, but I've yet to find a shade I dislike & many colors have just the right amount of shimmer in them to make eyes sparkle.

This really is a great gloss. I love Cappucino for it's color, but also for it's creamy texture (not all of the LipLites flavors have the same consistency). I recently tried a new color called Frosted Berry - a sheer irridescent pink that's great too. I stock up when they're buy one get one free at Ulta. Although I own dozens of different lip products, I reach for this quite often.

I've been using this moisturizer in the mornings after my shower, before I apply any makeup. It's fabulous! I've had the lotion in the past & found it to be too rich for my skin. This gel is just right. It soaks in and leaves my skin velvety soft - a perfect base for my mineral makeup. I have combo skin & rosacea on my cheeks, but the moisture level is great for my entire face.

I'm always on the look-out for products that relieve the symptoms of rosacea. Eucerin is certainly a reputable brand, but I was pretty disappointed with this night cream. It was sticky after I applied it (it never really soaked in) & it didn't soften or soothe my skin overnight. The price is right, but I'd rather spend more for better results.
