Olay Regenerist Intensive Repair Treatment

A below average anti-ager

Received as a tester and used pretty much continuously for a month. I have oily, adult acne prone skin. Had I been more normal, I guess this would have made an ok moisturizer. Saw no positive effects with this product but really no negative ones either.

REMBRANDT® INTENSE STAIN™ Stain Dissolving Strips

Works wonderfully

My husband has been an avid chewing tobacco user or 14 years. I am a coffee, tea & red wine drinker. I received these to test. Using once a day (not twice as the directions suggested) my husband has noticeably whiter teeth by day 3. I was completely clear of stains in the same amount of time and we still have plenty of strips left! I would imagine he will use the strips for another week to get rid of the stains completely. Highly recommend over expensive treatments.

100% Pure Pineapple Enzyme Facial Peel

Mix with yogurt for best results

I bought plain yogurt and mixed one tablespoon of yogurt to one tablespoon of peel. I whipped it up good and slapped it on my face for about ten minutes. Of course, it didn't give me the results of the 30% glycolic peel that I am used to but it did give me a nice glow and it took of the dead skin. So, that is really all I was looking for!

Lancome Oscillation Powerfoundation

I like it but...

It is a nice foundation, but you can't get enough on the pouf so you have to go back and forth and back and forth to get it on. If I could get more on the pouf at one time, I would be a whole lot happier with it!!

CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara

Very pleased!

I am very pleased with this mascara. The formulation is just right and I get no clumps. The long brush coats every lash. I use three coats to get the maximum fullness and length. I actually like it better than the original Lash Blast!

bareMinerals ORIGINAL SPF 15 Foundation

Take out the Bismuth Oxychloride

I like mineral makeup but I can't use this one. I have an allergy to bismuth oxychloride (as do many people it seems) and in the summer my skin itches and burns and on windy cold days it does the same thing. So, I use the Merle Norman brand of mineral foundation. Has the same stuff...minus the bismuth that gives me such a fit.

bareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen

Expensive, but worth it to me

I gave it 9 stars because I wish the container was bigger for the price. I have it in Light & Medium. I use it on my arms daily when I wear tanks and I put it all over my 3 year old daughter. It stays on, I don't have any problems getting it to apply properly and we haven't burned. Good for me!

Badger Organic Lip Balm Stick

The best!

I have the Highland Mint & Vanilla Madagascar. The vanilla is my favorite. I haven't used any unnatural lip balms since I found this stuff! I just wish is had a physical sunscreen in it.

Merle Norman LUXIVA® Foundation Primer

Good primer

The consistency is light and absorbs quickly. Doesn't aggravate my acne and doesn't make my skin any oilier than it already is (thought I don't think it absorbed any oil). I recommend this more for combo skin rather than oily because I still needed to use oil absorbing sheets with it.

Napoleon Perdis China Doll Foundation

Expensive but the best coverage I have ever had!

I know it is a lot of money (so I will be looking for bargains from now on) but I have NEVER gotten coverage like this before. I have oily, acne prone skin and this covers wonderfully and keeps control of the oil.
