I've tried all sorts of mineral foundations through the years. I started using it when it first hit the market with Bare Minerals. And I have also tried Sheer Cover and fell in love with L'Oreal's Mineral Foundation. But Neutrogena's Mineral Sheers Mineral Foundation takes the cake. The SPF formulation actually works in their product and the application is very easy- even easier than L'Oreal and the compact and travel friendly powder and brush also out does L'Oeal's design for both ease and convenience. I have this one in my purse right now, but I think I might get another for my make-up box. This is not just a travel friendly foundation, this is the best mineral foundation that I've found yet! It's even better than it's compact counterpart giving a more natural and translucent look. The compact gives a more matte and fuller coverage. So whether you like it light and natural or full and matte, these mineral foundations will do the job and with REAL sun protection!

I love this cleanser. I have sensitive skin and it has worked really well for me for years. It's not the best at removing waterproof make-up, but I use a make-up remover with silicone for that. This cleanser makes my face clean, but not irritated. I've experienced some dryness from using this product during the fall and winter seasons. Dryness of this cleanser can be avoided if you use a good toner after cleansing. I use Jason's Red Elements Calming Toner. Works great if you often experience dryness after cleansing, but don't want to weigh your skin down with a too greasy moisturizer.

In a world where toners are disappearing and becoming obsolete there are a few women who cling on to the mild cleansing and moisture benefits of a good toner. Thank God for Paula's Choice products!! Paula still knows the real value of a great toner and she knows how to make one! If you are like me and have dry, sensitive skin that reacts to regular moisturizer with breakouts. Here is what I recommend. GET A GOOD TONER. For me, this is what changed my skin from confused to clear. I'd have acne paired with dry patches of skin especially around the eyes. I started using this toner right after cleansing and I was able to go without a moisturizer and my skin cleared up and was not dry! So for those of you who know the value of toner you should look to Paula's Choice for the best. I don't even care about the shipping they are that good!

I used this while Neutrogena got their shisnit together between clear pore treatment and the new acne stress gel. This did just fine as a clear pore treatment substitute. Though I didn't like the fact that I had to pay shipping so I had to take away a star. If Paula's Choice products could be purchased at Target or the drug store, then I would give this a whopping 10 stars!

I was nervous about using these in place of the ultra-sensitive make-up remover pads, but it worked wonderfully and did not hurt my eyes! I also like the fact that the cloths are nice and big and can remove all the make-up on my face, not just my eyes. The formula is also good enough to remove even waterproof make-up. I like the fact that they are cheaper, and also like the fact that the container is refillable so I don't have be throwing away a plastic jar that can't be recycled (ultra sensitive eye make-up remover pads jar is a grade 5 plastic and those can't be recycled).

I've been an advocate of waterproof mascara for awhile now and the trick to getting water proof off is to get the right make-up remover and Neutrogena fits the bill with their silicone based Ultra-Soft Eye Makeup Remover Pads. The pads were really soft, but not as wet as I had expected- though highly effective. My waterproof mascara was gone in seconds with a few gentle wipes. I didn't get any irritation at all with this product and I have really sensitive skin. This is a clear winner for those of us who like to wear their water proof liners and mascaras! The two draw backs that take the two extra stars away are the price and the fact that I can't recycle the container. Two issues I hold near and dear to my heart.

Love this spray! Here is how I use it: First, I put some volumizing moose in, blow it out; then I spray the Psssst and my hair stays bouncy and fresh all day! The trick is to use this spray shampoo BEFORE the oil gets out of control. It will help keep the oil away and give your do an all day boost! Pssssst is something I would recommend to anyone with thin hair who wants to keep the volume from their blow out going all day long. Don't let the cheap price tag fool you, this stuff is just as good as the more expensive brands AND you don't need to go to the salon to get it!

I have really sensitive skin so even well made moisturizers that work for most people will make my skin break out just because my skin felt like it I guess. Skin's the final sayer on what I put on it so this moisturizer had to go. The stars are for the excellent formula, the stars that are missing are because my skin told me not to click them. Yes everyone, I am my skin's b!tch.

So why pay extra money for the "Energy Glow" (which I have no idea what it means anyway)?

I liked this cleanser. I used it with the moisturizer for some time. It is a solid performer. I just don't get to health food stores enough to get it. The lower rating is for it not being available in regular type stores. If I could buy this at Target or Walgreens, then we'd be talking 8 or 9 stars!
