bareMinerals ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation

Actually matches my extremely fair skin !

This foundation is the only one I have found of any type that actually matches my extremely fair skin (I use the "fair" shade) ! Unless you are as pale as I am, you don't realize what it's like to literally have to use baby powder to set you makeup & tone down your too dark foundation (because you couldn't find a lighter shade anywhere affordably). When I was introduced to this foundation upon the recommendation of a co-worker 4 years ago, I was thrilled ! No more dark jaw line from my foundation. No more orangey looking base. I've gotten compliments on my pretty skin over the past 4 years that I never received before using this product. It covers surprising well for a powdered foundation. The intensity of application depends on the brush you use & how much product you apply. I do have to moisturize well before using (my skin is on the dry side of combination) so that it looks good (not dry). I would cry my eyes out if they discontinued this product & shade!

Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Moisturizing Shampoo

Worked for me

Got a small trial size bottle of this shampoo on vacation. Loved the scent (coconut-lime-verbena) & it left my hair feeling clean yet silky (my hair is thick, wavy, & on the dry-side naturally).

Philosophy The Microdelivery Exfoliating Cloths

Works for me

Took me a few times using these cloths to really get the hang of using them. Love the way my skin looks when I use one of these cloths with philosophy's exfoliating wash. That combo leaves my face soft & smooth. Yes, these cloths are expensive, but I use the same cloth for about 3 or 4 days & then get out a new one. Since I've already washed off my makeup & used philosophy's purity made simple to clean my face, I can get by with using the same exfoliating cloth for 3 or 4 days at a time. A pack of 20 cloths lasts me a couple of months. I purchase them off ebay because they're cheaper there. Don't care for the weird size & placement of holes on the cloths though... does make using them a bit awkward at times even when you're a long time user.

Hair Off Mitten

Fancy sandpaper

Yep, that's right... this product is just fancy shaped sandpaper. Shortened the hair on my legs a little, exfoliated a little, smelled funky when I was finished (smelled like burnt hair) & left a lot of hair on my legs. Won't purchase again.
