I bought this a little while ago because it looked cool and the packaging is nice and compact. The color itself is very nice (I peeled off the label, though, and can't remember the name). The thing is, this blush is crazy hard to apply. I know you're supposed to dab it on your finger and then dab it onto the cheeks, but it really ends up looking either really bright or really streaky. There is ability to build color with this blush--it just goes on super bright because you can't really smudge it on.

I've been using this for about half a year. I have combination oily and teenage skin, but I use this sensitive skin formulation because my skin sometimes reacts badly to moisturizers. The good thing I have to say about this is that it has never irritated my skin, as promised. However, it doesn't really do much for the dry patches I sometimes get, as it is a really light moisturizer. I will likely try a different moisturizer after I finish my first bottle of this.

I've been using this face wash every day for about two years now. It's got a great rich, frothy texture and each tube lasts a really long time. I have combination oily skin and this cleans the oil and makeup off my face really well. Since it is frothy and a pretty thorough cleanser, I wouldn't recommend it to people with dry skin, but it is definitely good for teenage skin. It would take a miracle to make me switch to a different cleanser.

First of all, this shower gel smells amazing. It's definitely more of a ginger smell than a citrus smell, and it smells very similar to the Origins Ginger line. It lathers very nicely and is almost all natural, and doesn't leave any weird feeling on my skin. However, and this isn't a problem for me, it's not a moisturizing product, so if you're looking for a really rich, moisturizing shower gel, this isn't it.

This stuff works really well. I usually dip a qtip in my makeup remover to get rid of my eye makeup, and with this, my makeup comes off in one swipe - I don't need to rub at my eyelids or anything like I have to do with the lancome formula (which is way more expensive). The one downside is that it's a little greasy, but since I take my makeup off before I go to bed I don't really care if my eyelids are a little greasy then.

Essie Three Way Glaze Multi-Use Base, Strengthener and Top Coat
Good as a base coat, but NOT as a top coat
The smell is mild and it dries quickly, so it is a good base coat. However, I have noticed that while it may feel dry to the touch, it dents and smudges very easily as a top coat, even several hours after I apply it to my nails. So in that, I wouldn't purchase just this to use as both a base and top coat; I would definitely get a separate top coat.

I have mild acne (not cystic) with a few whiteheads in my T-zone, and I actually find this more effective than salicylic acid. It gets rid of pimples quickly without leaving scars or anything. One thing to be cautious of is to apply it right on top of the pimple because otherwise the surrounding area could get dry.

As an avid protector of my skin, I can safely say that this sunscreen is where the search ends. The PA rating is the highest possible, and that means it protects well from both UVA and UVB rays. It also smells good, which is rare for a sunscreen. It is not greasy at all, and only takes a minute to absorb into the skin; once it is absorbed it has this incredible mattifying effect. And since it isn't very thick a little goes a long way. The only slight complaint I have is that it has very little moisturizing, so it would be wise to layer a moisturizer under this. But I will never buy a different sunscreen. It is so easy to toss in your beach bag and just carry around with you.

The bottle says oily skin, so take note! If your whole face is not an oil slick, this cleanser will be way too harsh! I have a very oily t zone and normal cheeks, and this cleanser gave me dry patches all over my face. It may be because I have sensitive skin but this was more irritating than anything I've ever used. However, this cleanser is quite cost effective because one bottle has lasted me a whole year (even with day and night washing) and it is quite thorough. But too thorough, if you ask me.
