Excellent, Beautiful Texture

A lovely, but not heavy moisturizer that worked day one.

Excellent

Excellent coverage and moisture, even for oily skin.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

The best moisturizer for oily skin. But I wish they would add sunscreen.

A must-have product. Amazing. My only request is that Clinique consider adding a sunscreen. Then it would be totally perfect. Also I've heard some complain about the price, but I actually think this is very cost efficient. First, it works. Second, it lasts forever. Third, it's just a little bit more than Neutrogena at the drug store and a LOT less than most over-hyped super pricy department store moisturizers. So what more do you want?

BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15

Seemed great at first, but then major, major breakouts!

I might be allergic to something in this product. My skin turned awful while I used this and I was under a dermatologists care for months before it cleared. Here is the issue I think (aside from the allergy) - it dries out the skin and your skin compensates by becoming extra oily. Also this sounds strange, but I've tested this theory several times - something strange happens when you wear this on an airplane. My skin would get very oily then breakout into hives. I swear, even my Mom noticed it. I threw away all of their products and totally switched over to Clinique. I could not be happier. Be careful with this stuff. It's also very messy and my husband would complain about junk on our countertops.

Clinique Clarifying Powder Makeup

Awesome all around

Great, but light coverage. Lasts all day and does not irritate or cause breakouts. This is a staple product.

Aveda Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture SPF 15

Great for oily skin and good coverage

I like the idea of tinted moisturizer, but most are too sheer or for dry skin. This is good for oily, acne-prone skin. Great coverage and I set it with clinque almost makeup powder and it is perfect. This also is great during vacation so you don't have to buy a darker color foundation.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

Love it but Double Wear Light is even better

The new, lighter version is even better. Very natural coverage - but coverage - and doesn't make me oily at all. Sometimes I mix it with my Clinique moisturizer for an even softer look. It's expensive, but worth it. And it lasts for 6 months or more. I used one for 9 months.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Volumizing Shampoo with Light Enhancers

Awesome

The brunette shampoo and conditioners are amazing. This is a must-have product for me. I've gotten so many compliments about how shiny my hair is because of this line! Also I have acne-prone skin and some shampoos irritate, but this does not. Also smells great. I'm convinced now to only get shampoo at the drug store and no more $20 brands!

Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Bar for Face and Body

Excellent but a few precautions

I love the whole acne line and have been using it for almost one year. Works amazingly well and very gentle. I love the bar soap mostly for travel. However, it is more drying than the foaming cleanser. So be sure to use the oil-free moisturizer! It's also a great value - lasts forever.

Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour

Must Have

I love this product so much that I now have all colors. I use one every single day on my cheeks and eyes. Also great to travel with - gives you a nice shimmer and color when jetlagged. Love it!
