Essie First Base Adhesive Base Coat

Okay

It only helps prevent chips by like 2% I'd say. Better than some, but no miracle. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

Wish there was an SPF

I absolutely love the way this makes my hands feel. Im an esthetician and constantly wash my hands, and this really replenishes moisture. Does have a very hempy smell not so nice in my opinion. I really wish more handcreams offered SPF. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Hempz Age Defying Herbal Moisturizer

Age defying is an overstatement

Good moisture but I wouldnt call it age defying. I like the smell, its impossible to describe but others may not like it. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Boscia Jujube Rejuvenist Amino Body Wash

Smells great

And has decent body benefits. Gave it a 5 because I'm still in the search of a great body line and its pricey. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Dermalogica Precleanse

You need this product!

This is sooo great for oily skin and makeup wearers as it binds with the surface oils and debris, and when you add water, it completely lifts it off the skin. Can be used over eyes and lips. Smells wonderful. When using this to remove waterproof foundation it will make a slight doughy consistency. Dont worry, it will completely rinse off with your regular cleanser.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 Cleanser for Face and Eyes

Good for those on a budget

The price is so great for this product as you get so much! I'd rather see people use this cleanser if they are on a budget than some drugstore cleanser. Does not strip skin of moisture but leaves a clean feeling. Does have a slight fragrance, I personally like it. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion

Poor packaging

This product would be so great for the price if it werent for the clear plastic packaging. One of the main ingrediets is Retinol which needs dark packaging. Therefore the product is completely ineffective. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Dermalogica mediBac Clearing Oil Control Lotion

The only AHA moisturizer I'll use

This product does an extremely good job at controlling oil throughout the day. With continued use, I can see the 'pores' on my nose shrinking. I only use this on my forehead and nose as I need moisture in other areas. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis

Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Masque

Get this while you can

Dermalogica is discontinuing this product and reformulating the skin hydrating mask. Gives extreme moisture to dry, dehydrated skin. A little goes an extremeeeely long way. Follow me on Twitter: BCmakeup Blogspot: The Lady Grind BC Makeup Artistry-St. Louis
