The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

Not 100% tea tree oil

I ended up returning this and buying Desert Essence 100% Tea Tree Oil at Whole Foods. I didn't know that this would only be 15% tea tree oil. The salesman certainly didn't tell me that it wasn't 100% 'pure'. I can tell the difference between this product and the one that I purchased at Whole Foods.

Desert Essence Organic Tea Tree Oil

I wanted to love this.

I have heard nothing but fantastic reviews for this product. You must be careful when applying this. Use a q tip lightly dipped in the oil and dot two dots maximum on the blemish that needs to be alleviated. I put way too much and overexposed my skin to this product. I didn't think anything would really happen. The blemish calmed down but it had become a long streak on the side of my face where it had dripped down from the spot where I initially applied the oil. You can't put more than two drops. It is an all-natural antiseptic, but it smells awful. Just please be careful.

Maybelline New York Mineral Power Illuminator

Illuminating? Not at all.

I am not quite sure as to how this was supposed to illuminate my face. I was expecting a slight glow that was not too apparent and instead this resulted in pure glitter than had been streaked across my face. It is definitely in-your-face and not as subtle as I hoped it would be.
