TIGI Bed Head Superstar Conditioner

Consistently Good

I believe this has recently been renamed (perhaps reformulated) as the Styleshots Epic Volume Conditioner, and the "Superstar" is discontinued. Over the past five years, I've repurchased Superstar Shampoo and Conditioner on numerous occasions. I have mid-length, medium textured hair with highlights. I only use this product at the ends of my hair. I believe it could weigh down the roots if used there. This conditioner leaves my hair shiny, and manageable. As with the shampoo, I believe there is a residue buildup after continued use, so I always switch to another shampoo/conditioner at the end of a tube. As with all Bed Head products the smell is delightful and fruity and the cost is reasonable. Overall, this is a consistent product that I enjoyed using and would buy again.

TIGI Bed Head Superstar Shampoo

My Fallback Shampoo

I believe this has recently been renamed (perhaps reformulated) as the Styleshots Epic Volume Shampoo, and the "Superstar" is discontinued. Over the past five years, I've repurchased Superstar Shampoo and Conditioner on numerous occasions. I have mid-length, medium textured hair with highlights. This shampoo leaves my hair shiny, and manageable. I shampoo at night, air dry, then flat iron the ends in the morning. If I would blow dry, I believe my hair would have more volume, but for what I do, the volume is okay. I do believe however, that there is a residue buildup after continued use, so I always switch to another shampoo at the end of a tube. As with all Bed Head products the smell is delightful and fruity and the cost is reasonable. Overall, this is a consistent product that I enjoyed using.

Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash

My Go-To Cleanser

I couldn't ask for anything gentler for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I have used this product for the last eight years. The few times I tried something new left me disappointed. This cleanser has everything I look for in a facial wash: no residue/rinses clean, low fragrance, awesome price! If you wear makeup, you will need to use some form of makeup remover prior to washing you face, but this cleanser will remove your run-of-the-mill daily dirt and grime, no problem. Nothing else comes close to this cleanser.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup

Great Coverage

Due to the fact that the mineral foundation that I'd worn for years would cake and smear on humid summer days, I switched to this liquid foundation. I am now on my fifth bottle. This foundation has not made my oily, acne-prone, late thirty-something skin breakout any more than the mineral foundation did. But what it does do is stay in place - all day. In the summer, I have always been more self conscious when it comes to swimming. Everything I've tried before would just wash away in the water. Not so with this makeup! It still provides coverage even after hours in the pool. I knocked off a star due to its cost, but will continue to purchase this product because it continues to provide the coverage needed for my problem skin.
