After reading the product and regime reccommendations in The Skin Type Solution, i started using this along with retinol and SkinCeuticals Phyto+ serum. The difference in my skin is AMAZING. Spots gone, pores teeny tiny, my skin is smooth, even and bright. All the girls at work keep asking me for my "secret" :) For those of you who are scared away by the price, there is a company that makes some of the skinceuticals serums for less than half the price, and they work just as good! Cosmetic Skin Solutions, i'm glad i found them or i wouldn't have been able to keep up this great skin! A bottle lasts forever, it only takes 4-5 drops and once it's absorbed it can't come off! They market this as a preventative product but i've seen huge results in less than a month, it's been a corrective product as well!

This has done wonders to help remove old acne scars and brown spots. I use this with skinceuticals retinol and i haven't experienced any breakouts like other reviewers have reported. It reduces redness and irritation from breakouts and skin treatments. It's also moisturizing enough that i don't need to use a lotion afterwards (one less thing to buy!) BTW for those of us on a budget there's a great company that makes the same serums Skinceuticals makes for less then half the price and they work just as great! Check them out: Cosmetic skin solutions.

This really didn't live up to the hype. It's really good at lengthening lashes but does nothing for volume. The formula is clumpy; it takes tons of swipes to work the clumps out. On the plus side, it never smudges or flakes and the formula is super black. But i really don't see why this costs so much.

I love that this mascara makes lashes darker and fuller without over doing it. It's not totally waterproof though, after a hot day i had smudges under my eyes, i don't think it would hold up at the beach or pool. It hasn't flaked on me, but it never clumps. Great price too, i've never seen it for over $5.

Not that i often tweeze or touch up my eyebrows on the go, but the idea that this was so portable (i was thinking easy to pack for vacation) was why i wanted this in the first place. Comes with wax to keep the shape of your brows, two colors to fill 'em in, mini tweezers and a brow brush, all in a teeny 2 inch box. I have light to medium skin and dark brown hair, i purchased Beige Betty which looked most natural on me. (Don't go darker than your hair, it looks unnatural). I've had mine for about 6 months, i've barely put a dent in the wax and powder. I took off two stars cause the little brush has kinda frayed, not as thin as it was new, and the tweezers are somewhat difficult to use, they barely grab hairs.

These are THE BEST eye pencils EVER. The colors are vibrant and amazing, and they glide on the eyelid with ease. While they're already formulated to last for hours, pair it with an eyeshadow primer and it won't budge even in your sleep.

I guess the folks at UD really listen to their customers, so many costumers complained that they couldn't get all the product out of the wand tube, they changed it! Mind you, Too Faced already had their eye primer in a squeeze tube (which is what i've been purchasing) but since i always use UD's Sin Eye shadow as a base for my eyes, i may just buy the Sin primer to save a step! Decisions Decisions!

These remove eye makeup like a dream, but i hated how my skin felt afterwards, greasy and shiny. Also was not a fan of the smell, the fragrance irritated my nose. I'd only use these on my eyes. Personally i prefer a cotton ball soaked in jojoba oil, works a treat and is super inexpensive.

This product contains Methoxycinnamate 7.5% and Oxybenzone 5.0%, which should not be used by sensitive skin types. This made my skin red and itchy and extremely oily by the end of the day. I really don't like how there are only two shades of this (original and light) The original version was too orangy, and this formula is too pale. There are more parabens in this than i've ever seen in any other product (Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben) and i doubt there are truly any antioxident benefits since they are at the bottom of the ingredient list.

i LOVE mineral foundation, but i hate this brand. The original formula of Bare Escentuals was sickeningly shiny (they call it luminous) and accentuated every bump and blemish. The matte formula was a step up but still nothing to write home about. The brushes are HORRIBLE, I'd rather use a brush from the 99 cent store than use this brush, it irritates my skin, makes it itchy and applies the foundation like crap. My holy grail of mineral foundation is Larenim, sold at health food stores and yoga dens. I never thought a makeup i could buy at my local health food store could be so wonderful, try it, you won't regret it.
