I got this cleanser along w/ the Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Lotion w/ salicylic acid and have to agree that after using them for a week, I didn't have any new breakouts. However I had to stop since it's winter and the set seems to be too drying right now; I am saving it for spring and summer though.

This is probably one of the best exfoliators I ever had. I really have no complaints about it. It heats up nicely on contact w/ water and if you spend a good minute massaging your face w/ it, the result is a VERY soft complexion. I notice right after usage that the blackheads on my nose don't stick out as much. To get the same result earlier, I would have to steam my face, exfoliate it and then do some sort of mask, but this one product gives me the same exact results. I do agree that this isn't for everyday usage though.

I had problems blending at first, then realized my skin was too dry. After a good moisturizer, the foundation goes on ideally, blends well and looks very natural. Despite the medium coverage, it doesn't look caked on at all.

It does have good texture, but in my opinion the coverage was too sheer and for some reason it never seemed to blend well. I always had streaks down the jawline no matter how much time I spent blending. If the moisturizer does darken on the face with time, that would explain the streaks. I gave it to a friend, who threw it away for the same reasons and additionally because it left dry spots.

I was excited when I found this foundation on a clearance shelf at Ulta for only $4, but was a little disappointed. Good color match for fair skin and pretty smooth, but on parts my face it seemed to come off in weird wet flakes when I tried blending it w/ a sponge (then later my hands). I do prep w/ moisturizer, so dryness was not the problem. Maybe it was just old...

I have to deal with some moderate hair loss, though I'm in my early 20s and bought this product for this obvious claims to "awaken the roots". After using it for a few months, I noticed little 2-inch flyaways at the scalp, so the product did what it said. After the bottle ended, I began using Pantene's Color Care 2-in-1 shampoo + conditioner cuz I also have highlights, and my hair resumed its stubborn hair loss - to the point that I had to unclog th drain 3 times during 1 shower. I immediately switched over to this shampoo again and even after ONE USE, I only lost about 5 hairs during one shower. The smell is really pleasant too, and it seems to agree with the highlights in my hair - they still shine as if I was using color care shampoo anyway.

I got this kit for around $5 when CVS was having a sale and for a price that cheap, it was more than worth it. THe first time I tried it, I did irritate my skin to the point of looking like a tomato for the first few hours, but I attribute that to leaving the stuff on for too long. Alpha hydroxy acids are dangerous when left unattended! Despite the irritation, my face had never felt smoother. It was the most excellent exfoliation ever. I give it a 9 for the redness, but the effect subsides, so if used before bedtime, you should be fine in the morning.

I give it an 8 because I've had better masks. The color is dark, kinda like mud. It's more liquidy than mud and you should really pile the stuff on. It's kinda tingly at first but pleasant. Seems to work on blackheads though once a week isn't enough. Skin feels refreshed but it does nothing for moisture levels.

I got this 50% off at a Sephora sale and was very satisfied with the purchase. I dunno if it's worth the original price ($50) because the tube seems a little small for that amount of money. Coverage is just right and looking at pictures with this stuff on, the face really does seem porcelain like a china doll! I got the lightest shade; it's a little too yellow but when used over the entire face, there doesn't seem to be an issue with color inconsistency.

I had this lipstick in Firefly and the color was pretty eye-catching, but after awhile my lips felt a bit too dry. I tried wearing a thick lip balm underneath it, but then it seemed like the color faded faster. Although for the price, I wouldn't mind buying every color.
