Sugar Cosmetics Glamazon Eye Palette

I love Sugar!

These eyeshadows smooth onto the skin on my eyelids very nicely and stay put all night. They aren't too sticky and they have a LOT of sparkles. Great colors too, especially when layered over a similar shade of powder or matte shadow. Plus, all the sugar packaging is so adorable and designed for practicality.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

From too oily to too dry

I have oily skin, so my dermatologist recommended this stuff to me a couple years ago, but it made things worse. This product uses salicylic acid to combat oil, but it can also dry your skin out, which is what happened to me. My skin was flaky and tight feeling. I didn't use it consistently enough or long enough to know if it reduced my acne. One thing I found helped was applying non-comodogenic (non pore-clogging) lotion to my face after use of the acne-wash. I did continue to use this wash on my back, which helped it stay clear and smooth, but didn't dry my skin out like on my face.

Neutrogena Gentle Oil-Free Liquid Eye Makeup Remover for Waterproof Mascara

magic!

Removes eye makeup with one swipe! (or two if it's waterproof mascara). A small amount goes a long way, so it's a great value. The only drawback is that even though it's oil-free, it leaves behind an oil-like residue -- but that too can be wiped away easily (don't need soap; I wash my face before using this product).
