Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

Leaves skin feeling fresh, not preventing breakouts for me

I bought this because my proactiv stopped doing the trick and I have tried nearly everything on the market to just keep my pores clear. I am very prone to blackheads for some reason. For the first week I LOVED this stuff, my face never felt so clean and you could just feel it work and how clean and fresh it felt afterward. I still use it because it makes my skin feel clean (but not the same sensation after using it, sadly enough) but it has not helped me with my breakouts, which always seem to strike right before I start my period. Unfortunately I have never found anything to prevent those breakouts. No verdict yet on it if it cuts down on blackheads as I have only been using it for a few weeks. So far, it's alright.

Almay Smart Shade Makeup

if you really want to work for it

I picked this up because I have so much trouble finding a shade of foundation that really matches my skin. It's always too light or too dark. This foundation does match my skin very well, but I have to use so much of it to really get it to blend right and not leave patches that aren't well blended. I really have to work for it to get it to completely cover. But when it does I will admit that it is very light and doesn't make my skin feel heavy or overly made up.
