This used to be my favorite brow gel/clear mascara. I used it in clear because I much prefer a clear gel over a colored one that can show if it gets on my skin or flakes. Actually, the other thing I really liked about this brow gel was that it didn't flake. It held my long brow hairs in place, but it was completely invisible on my brows. However, I recently discovered Talika Lipocils, which I love on both my brows and my lashes because it improves their health and they don't fall out so easily. Ingredients: Purified Water, Alcohol Denat., VP/VA Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanediol, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol.

This is probably the worst mascara I have ever used. It made my lashes look better, like any other mascara, but it flaked into my eyes, and it smells terrible! It was so bad I threw it out. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it but got it free when I purchased the Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, which is a great product.

I had high hopes for this foundation, but it disappointed me like the other Clinique foundations I have tried. My biggest problem is that it doesn't come in a shade light enough for my fair skin. Because of this, I can't get it completely blended in, so it never looks natural. It also doesn't hold back oil as long as I would like. According to Clinique, it's also supposed to be "transfer-resistant," but I haven't found it to be any more transfer-resistant than any other foundation I have used. At least it doesn't irritate my skin in any way, but I won't be repurchasing. Ingredients: water, cyclopentasiloxane, butylene glycol, nylon-12, bis-peg/ppg-14/14 dimethicone, trimethylsiloxysilicate, hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer, isostearyl palmitate, triethylhexanoin, magnesium stearate, silk powder, camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, laminaria saccharina extract, bisabolol, cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone, polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, c9-15 fluoroalcohol phosphates, hexyl laurate, laureth-7, nylon-6, sodium chloride, alumina, silica, disodium edta, phenoxyethanol, butylparaben, isobutylparaben, isopropylbaraben. May contain: titanium dioxide, iron oxides, mica.

This sunscreen has the advantage of being an all-physical sunscreen, which can be wonderful for those sensitive to chemical sunscreens. However, there are surely better all-physical sunscreens available. This product is extremely thick and greasy, and it leaves a significant white cast on skin. Active Ingredient: 9.1% Titanium Dioxide. Inactive Ingredients: Water, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Neopentyl Glycol Dioctanoate, Gylcerin, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Isopropyl C12-15 Pareth-9 Carboxylate, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Steareth-12, Tocopherol, Calcium Pantothenate, Camellia Oleifera Extract, Panthenol, BHT, Neopentyl Glycol Disostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Iron Hydroxide, Steareth-2, Stearic Acid, Trimethylolpropane Triethylhexanoate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Carbomer, Butylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Butylparaben, Methylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben.

I love sheer lipsticks, but this stuff is awful. It is is full of large, gritty glitter, and thus it looks like something that might me okay for someone in her early teens, but it's definitely not for me.

This powder helps control oil, but that is the only redeeming quality it has. The texture is terribly chalky, so it doesn't look natural at all. I have ivory, and the color is a little light, even for my fair skin. MAC Blot Powder is so far superior that even the low price of this powder isn't enough to make it worth purchasing again. Ingredients: Talc, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Kaolin, Zinc Stearate, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Silica Silcylate, Propylparaben, May Contain: Mica, Iron Oxides, Ultramarines.

This concealer is okay, as far as I am concerned. It doesn't cover quite as well as I would like. Even worse, the lightest shade, Light, is a tad too dark for me. On the plus side, the container holds more than many other brands, so it lasts forever. In fact, the sponge tip on the applicator falls apart before the product in gone. I eventually threw mine in the trash, and I don't plan to repurchase. Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone Copolyol, Talc, Cyclopentasiloxane, Triethanolamine, Dimethicone, Algae Extract, Cucumber Extract, Sage Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tribehenin, Glyceryl Stearate, Sucrose Laurate, Propylene Glycol, Lecithin, Behenyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, Isostearic Acid, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Cyclohexasiloxane, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide.

I have this tinted lip balm in the shades Fresh and Pure. I used to really like it. However, it is a bit greasy, even for someone who loves super moisturizing, almost greasy lip products, and it's staying power is significant lacking. I love that it has sunscreen, but the UVA protection is rather minimal. Overall, I don't expect to repurchase. Active Ingredients: Octinoxate 7.5%, Titanium Dioxide 1.0%. Inactive Ingredients: Petrolatum, Polybutene, Phenyl Trimethicone, Ozokerite, Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate, Octyldodecanol, Candelilla Wax, Isopropyl Jojobate, Jojoba Alcohol, Jojoba Ester, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Castor Seed Oil, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Polyethelene, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Ascorbyl Palmitate, BHT, Tocopheryl, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Saccharin, Glyceryl Stearate, Carnauba Wax, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Flavor. May Contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Carmine, Manganese Violet, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Red 6, Yellow 6 Lake, Red 7 Lake, Red 30 Lake, Red 33 Lake, Red 36.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45
Not photostable, among other problems
I used to really like this sunscreen. It was the first sunscreen that I didn't hate applying to my face. However, it has serious issues with balling up. And to make matters worse, as I learned more about sunscreen, I realized that this sunscreen is not photostable, so I no longer use it. Active Ingredients: 2.0% Avobenzone, 7.0% Homosalate, 7.5% Octinoxate, 5.0% Octisalate, 3.0% Oxybenzone. Inactive Ingredients: Water, Silica, Adipic Acid/Diethylene Glycol/Glycerin Crosspolymer, VP-Hexadecene Copolymer, Dimethicone, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyl Dimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glycerin, Oat (Aveena Sativa) Kernel Extract, Squalane, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dimethicone, BHT, Cetyl Dimethicone, Bisabolol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance.

I don't have seriously dry feet; they're just moderately dry. Perhaps it is because of this that I can't overlook the extreme greasiness of this foot cream. I hate having to put on socks after putting on the cream, and I'm not crazy about the coconut scent, either. I prefer a foot cream that absorbs quickly. Ingredients: Vegetable Glycerin, Sunflower Seed Oil, Oat Kernel Protein, Lanolin, Coconut Oil, Tocopherol, Peppermint Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil, Fragrance.
