Mario Badescu Skin Care Mario Badescu Healing & Soothing Mask

Calmed irritated skin

I started using a retin-a topical treatment which left my skin raw and red. I used this mask once a week and felt immediate relief. Calmed all of the dry and red portions and halepd hydrate skin.

Benefit Big Easy

Great for first hour

I wanted to love this so much but it wasn't for me and my combo skin. The color(light 2) was a perfect match and my skin looked amazing for the first hour. I looked at myself on my lunch break and the coverage was very uneven. My dry areas were dry and flakey and the oily areas were oily with bits of the bb cream left over. I accidentally got some on my lips and it was very difficult to remove. Not going back for this one.

Benefit BADgal Lash

Great everyday mascara

I have thin, short, light eyelashes and this mascara is simply perfect. Doesn't clump, adds volume, separates really well and never flakes. I agree with another review, this is a great alternative to DiorShow. I only use DiorShow for special occasions sinces it's a little too pricey. Everyother day, Badgal lash is the best.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray

Great for hereditary dark circles!

I have purplish-blush dark circles and this masks almost all of the color and stays on for hours. I apply this then benefit erase paste and benefit eye bright in the corner of my eyes. Makes me look well rested. I also use it on leftover acnes scars as a concealer. Blends well into the skin and hides that reddish-puple color. They've recently change the distribution to a wand applicator. It's no longer a pump like it is in the picture.

Benefit They're Real Lengthening Mascara

Long and sorta clumpy

I LOVE benefit products but this one wasn't for me. It lengthened my lashes really well but clumped too many together and left them looking too straight. Looked like someone from the 1960s...Immediately went back to Badgal lash.

Benefit Eye Bright

Great highlighter

This is an absolute must have for anyone the suffers from hereditary dark circles. After discovering this, people immediately thought I looked younger and well rested. No more awkward conversations with co-workers about me needing more sleep! I do apply this differently than the instructions say. I use benefit "stay don't stray" first to prime the eye. Then, I outline the inner corner of my eye and the little crease on the outer eye. I have pretty fair skin so the color isn't an issue for me.

Free & Clear Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Care Cream

Best lotion-hands down!

My doctor recommended this lotion while treating me for adult acne. The lotion has a thick consistency and absorbs very quickly(5 mins) and is never greasy feeling. It has no smell and is non-comedogenic. Haven't had a single breakout since using this(after I applied retin-a). It's perfect for dry skin too. Used it on my hands all winter and didn't experience any dryness. Don't be skeptical about the weird name and lack of pretty label. This lotion is the best!!

Benefit Erase Paste

Great for purplish/blue dark circles

I have terrible hereditary dark circles and this covers them completely. Another benefit, the tiny jar lasts a very long time so don't be worried about the size of the jar. Only drawback-it wears off quickly. You'll need to reapply throughout the day.
