Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light

The first 30 minutes are great

This primer goes on well and initially will eliminate shine. However, I found that I became shiny again quite quickly and still had to find alternative methods of mattifying my face throughout the day.

CoverGirl LashBlast Length Water Resistant Mascara

Simple, no smudges

My concern with mascara is flaking and smudging. I used to always end up with black rings under my eyes by the end of the day. This mascara does not do that. It stays where it is supposed to and that has made it a staple for me.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

Not a pretty reaction...

I was looking for a simple, reasonably gentle, non-pore clogging cleanser to help control my oily, acne prone skin. What I got was an allergic reaction of bumps and rough, scaly skin down my T zone after only 2 uses. It took over a week for my skin to recover. My skin is not normally so sensitive, so I suggest using caution if you decide to try this product.
