I put this on every night before bed. Hands-down THE BEST lip moisturizer I've ever tried. You don't need to shell out $22 for Fresh's lip balm. Just plunk down less than $3 at your local drugstore.

Especially in the heat of a Southern summer, this is the only deodorant/antiperspirant solution I've found to stay completely stink-free. Smells good, too. Tip: put it on at night, as instructed, but ALSO put on regular deodorant (or the Secret Clinical) again in the morning. Guaranteed 24 hour freshness.

Like other SPF-containing makeup, this broke me out. Disappointing, but true. If you're not the sensitive type, this should be an excellent sheer tinted moisturizer, if you can find a shade that will match your skin.

Excellent toner--it doesn't dry or break out my sensitive skin, and it does a great job of finishing my cleansing routine (I use Boscia Makeup Breakup Cleansing Oil) and prepping my skin for serum and moisturizer. Highly recommended. Why pay more?

My sensitive skin HATES conventional sunscreens--even one application results in a breakout. Lotion-based sunscreens leave my face greasy, but this powder-based product doesn't. It goes on over makeup and is undetectable. That's probably what I love most about it--you can take it with you for touch-ups; who's going to reapply lotion sunscreen (over makeup) as the day goes on? This product helps you actually take the experts' advice about constant use of sunscreen. Also, it doesn't break the bank like other high-spf mineral products do (Colorescience is $50!).

This is one of my must-haves. It exfoliates and helps prevent new blemishes (thanks to the salicylic acid). It works not just on your face, but anywhere else you have acne issues, like chest, arms, or back. I keep mine in the shower. Excellent for women who have keratosis pilaris (the bumps on the back of your arm).

Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Lengthening Washable Mascara
Got to go with the editors on this one.
This mascara, in a word, sucks. The brush feels really flimsy, which makes you more likely to get the mascara on your face or eyes, and the formula is clumpy. I also didn't find it to be great at lengthening. You're much better off with the similar mascaras from Max Factor (my preferred one) or Cover Girl.

Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow comes in beautiful colors...I just wish they were more highly pigmented. Biscuit Box is a great duo that is very flattering and subtle on fair/medium golden-toned skin.

This is one product that's worth the cost. Not only does it brighten (without any glittery bits whatsoever), it smooths and softens the entire under-eye area. It helped my milia disappear, too. I use this in conjunction with a retinol eye treatment at night.

This is a good, basic eye treatment cream. I like that it contains retinol, but be aware that the retinol can be drying. Particularly at night, I'd recommend using an additional hydrating cream if your skin is dry or aging. Not an incredible cream, but good for the price, and sinks in quickly.
