CoverGirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation

thick and greasy

Product goes on very thick and is not easy to smooth out. It looks terrible when applied by finger. I tried using a professional quality makeup brush - that helped but you could still see brush strokes. It felt like wearing a mask. I have dry skin and this product somehow managed to make my skin look dry like a desert and yet still greasy. The only reason I rated this a 2 instead of a 1 is maybe it just is not a good product for dry skin, although I cannot imagine a skin type this product would agree with.

St. Ives Renewing Collagen Elastin Lotion

good for the price

I use this as my main after shower lotion. It absorbs well and does not feel greasy. I have very dry sky and this lotion is good but not great for moisturizing. The scent is okay, not the best but not to the point of being offensive. I keep using it in hopes of discovering younger looking skin as promoted on the bottle. So far after about a year of continual use I do not notice my skin looking any younger. I think for my next bottle I will try one of the other St. Ives lotions with a better review.

St. Ives Naturally Indulgent Advanced Body Moisturizer

lovely scent

I use this primarily has a hand lotion after washing my hands. It has a very nice fragrance and moisturizes well. I feel it is a bit greasy, but overall a nice lotion.

Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter Shampoo

nice product

I have tried a few different Suave shampoos and this one is the best of the Suave offerings for my hair type (dry, 3C curls). It seems to moisturize better than their curl specific product. I have not yet tried the companion conditioner due to the low ratings on this site.

Suave Professionals Captivating Curls Cream Mousse

works on my curls

I have thick, type 2C wavy/curly hair, shoulder length. I have been using Suave captivating curls cream mousse for about a month. It works great for my hair type. I was hesitant to try as mousse usually leaves my hair feeling crunchy. This product dispenses like a mousse but when you rub the product between your palms as directed it becomes a cream. My curls are nicely defined, even air drying, and are not crunchy. I do get a bit of frizz on top but I can take care of that with a dab of smoothing balm. For my hair, this product works great. Bonus: it costs about $3. Double bonus: it smells fantastic!
