Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Pure-Castile Liquid Soap

can even use as shampoo

I use this soap for everything! It doesnt dry out the skin and worked well on my kids when they had exzema. If you use a good conditioner, you can even use this soap as shampoo!

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

Minty Natural Color needs frequent application--no harsh chemical ingredients!!!

I love these colors and use them exclusively now instead of lipstick, but I do so partly because I choose to avoid some of the ingredients in conventional lipstick which are not in the burt's bees products. The color doesn't last as long as lipstick but some of the residual tint keeps a bit of color on longer than you would expect. The lip shimmers have a very conditioning feel, but they can get very soft in warm weather and dont last long with the frequent application necessary to maintain color--but they're cheap ! They have a very minty 'burn' to them when you first apply.

Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus

overall great, bottom strips fell off sometimes

These worked great for me, I used the strips twice a day for three or four days until i got the whiteness I was looking for, and then I just use them once a week to maintain. The bottom strips dont stay on as well as the top ones, though, but otherwise, no complaints.

Chanel Teint Naturel Liquid Makeup SPF 8

Great foundation for retin-a users

I use retin-a and this is the only foundation I haave found that covers the redness and still gives my skin a natural look. The Teint Naturel also does not emphasize any peeling skin spots I may have. It can be sheer or heavy coverage depending on whether I apply it with my fingers (heavy) or with a damp sponge (light). The color I use matches my skin so flawlessly that I can also use it just to cover my hyperpigmentation spots without putting foundation all over for a super natural look, and no 'spots' where I hid the flaws!
