Lancome Teint Idole Ultra

I always come back to this

This is a medium-full coverage foundation, so if you're looking for a lighter coverage, this is not for you. That being said, this gets the job done if you're looking for a product to cover those dark spots, red marks, or other flaws. I have combination skin that is super sensetive that breaks out and this does not irritate it one bit. It's pricey, but lasts a long time. I recomend purchasing it when theres a gift with purchase...all the free products helps me justify spending the $$ on a foundation. :)

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin

To my surprise...

These worked pretty well. I was skeptical because of my super fine/thin hair but they held the bun the entire day. Although if you are blonde and have thin hair you might be able to see them. Since i'm brunette they blend in.. For less than $5 bucks, give em' a shot. I think you will be plesantly surprised!

Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer

Recommend

I have fair skin year round, but in the winter this stuff is a must. You don't have to worry about the streakyness that comes with regular self tanner because you control the tan by applying it daily, skipping a day or two, etc.

Basis Cleaner Clean Face Wash

Basis

I like the texture of this and how it suds up. Great for sensetive skin, super cheap, and leaves your skin feeling makeup and dirt free sans that tight/drying feeling. However, if you breakout, you will need something else. I use this on days when my face needs a break from the other products I use for my problem skin.

Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub

great for problem skin

This works great if you have bacne or break out elsewhere on your body. I only use it once a week or as needed to treat body breakouts, as it is pretty drying to the skin. This does what it says it will and at a good price...i will continue to purchase as long as I need it.

Neutrogena Sugar Scrub Body Exfoliator

yuck

I don't know why this has such fantastic reviews, I didn't like it compared to other scrubs. This scrub made me feel like I had a film over my skin...I actually went over with a bar of soap AFTER using the scrub to try and remove it. I didn't even finish the tub.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

works well

This gets the job done without irritating my skin. The texture is on the thicker side, which I like compared to other watery brands. I also love the fact that it doesn't have an odor. Great everyday lotion.

SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Masque

Little bit goes a long way!

Yes the jar looks teeny, yes its pricey, but its worth it. I only use it once a week because it is pretty drying and my facialist warned me not to use it more than that (i have combo acne prone skin). Great weekly exfoliant and pore clearer! Also, if I notice a zit starting to form, I use this on the spot and it will minimize the redness & inflammation. You will notice a difference in your skin...works great!

Skinceuticals Phyto +

dark spots be gone

I did laser hair removal on my lip and I noticed that there was a dark spot forming. My facialist gave me a pretty large tester tube of this to use on my lip only and after a week or two I started to notice that the spot was fading. It got the job done! Although I haven't used it all over my face...

Sothys Sothy's Active Creme

Love

I love this stuff. My facialist uses it on my skin after she picks my face. Not only does this cream keep you moisturized without breaking you out, it also clears away spots and heals broken out skin. (Hence the "repair" in the name). Oh, another plus, it smells AMAZING.
