MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara

best bang for the buck

this is my favorite mascara. inexpensive, smudgeproof (even on my uber-oily skin) volumizing and lengthening. goes on very smooth and the brush size is perfect for my deep-set eyes. and it washes off so easily with just soap and water. I have used more expensive mascaras, but this one is my tried and true favorite

Guerlain Terracotta Spray Bronzing Powder Mist

messy but pretty

I am new to bronzers, but I really like this one. the application is a little tricky (I got it in my hair, but now I keep a towel on until I am done)and I suggest you put it on before you do your eye/lip/brow makeup. it also gets all over the place (sink, clothes, etc.) do now I put it on before I dress, and do it where I won't mind the overspray. despite all this, the color is very nice (I use light) and easy to deepen. The instructions could be more helpful, but I would recommend it.

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Instant Mineral SPF 45

best new innovative product!

I am a tremendous fan of mineral makeup, and in order to prevent sun damage use sun protection daily. but I always wished there was a type of sunscreen that I could put on throughout the day w/out messing up my makeup or making my face too oily...my wish came true when I stumbled upon this product while shopping online at sephora. this has got to be my favorite beauty/sun care product. I got it for my trip to Los Cabos, but it stays in my purse 24/7. I even use it on my 19 month old. I hope they never discontinue it.

Smashbox O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color

no surprises

pretty much what I expected, a clear silky gloss that turns into a nice neutral pink color on my lips. too bad can't use on cheeks (too sticky), but great for that little bit of color. I do wish it had spf, but otherwise a nice gloss.

Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads

best kept secret

I am 36 years old, have very oily skin and signs of skin aging and damage. I get the occasional breakout. I bought this product because it was recommended by my esthetician to use otc peel to maintain my complexion after an in office moderate TCA peel. I use these pads every night and my skin looks great! there is virtually no stinging (I leave it on for the max 3 min) and my face glows. if I do get a pimple it goes away quickly. My pores look smaller and I get a lot of compliments. This product is relatively inexpensive, and I would recommend it to anyone (and I have!) I love PTR!__
