Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

Good but not great

I've been using this along with the moisturizer for over a month and I have to say that I've noticed my skin getting brighter and it feels smoother. It hasn't done much for the ance marks, which completely defeats the purpose of the product in my opinion. And I hate to sound cheap but between this small bottle and the moisturizer thats $83 I could save and spend on something that might've actually worked.

Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion

Its Okay but not great

I've tried better toners than this. It has less than 2% salicylic acid, which is recommened for clearing up acne. I'm not saying that it doesn't work, I was just using it twice as long as I would have if it'd been made with 2% salicylic acid. I don't think the alcohol helps either. I know there are other toners out there that are alcohol free and work just as good, if not better. I will not be making a repeat purchase of this product.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel with Pump

Don't see what's so "dramatcially different"

I think this product is just "so-so". I purchaced the smaller bottle just to try it out and I don't see what's so "dramatically different" about it. Its thick and it goes on really smooth, but I didn't see any significant differences in my skin appearance for the few weeks I was using it.

L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base

In the middle

Unlike a regular primer, this one is thicker than I'm used to so I found myself using more than I wanted to. It didn't exactly blend the way I would have liked it to; I noticed some streaks left over, I had to make sure it wasn't showing too much. Once it was on, however, I was fine with it. I have very oily skin so after about 2-3 hours I have to remove oil and re-apply sometimes, but this actually held in place for almost the entire work day. I will continue to use it to see how I feel but right now I'm in the middle about it.

Marc Jacobs Lola Eau de Parfum

Not a huge fan

I don't know why but I'm not a fan of this sent. I wanted to like it so badly but I just can't for some reason. It just seems very heavy and not in a good way. Maybe I'm just a fan of very light sents but this one just seems TOO flowery for my taste.

Revlon Jean Nate Silkening Body Powder

Has Pros and Cons

Pros: you get a lot of the powder for a reasonable price. The smell is citrus/lemon which smells good and isn't over powering and doesn't interfere with my perfume. It feels like silk when you apply it and makes your skin feel like silk. Cons: its very dusty and can easily fly all over the place leaving a mess. I think it should have a sifter to control how much you apply. I found this powder online and read a lot of good things about it. I'd never heard of Jean Nate before but I'm glad that I found it, I do love the powder, I just feel like a surgeon when I have to apply it.

Dior J'adore Eau de Parfum

Sexy,

This frangrance seems very "adult" to me. Its sexy and not a summery daytime perfume. It's very strong when you first apply it but fades after a short amount of time. I usually wear this for going out at night.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette

Soft and Feminine

I love this perfume. Its light and soft, and not overpowering. I've been told I smell "girly" when I wear this. It seems to be something you can wear all year around. I would recommned this to friends.

Hard Candy Lash Call Lengthening Mascara

Its okay

This isn't the best mascara I've used. Its not horrible but its not great. It was really cheap and I got it in blue, which looked really fun at the time, but I think I'd only purchase if I wanted to play up my eyes a bit. I'd recommend for younger women because its inexpensive and very fun.

Rx for Brown Skin Bright and Clear Moisturizer For Acne Prone Skin

On the fence

I'm not really sure if this is helping me or making my acne worse. I know that when trying some new products that you breakout more in the beginning because its the getting rid of ance that was already surfacing, but it just seems like its not getting rid of them fast enough for me. Or its just not doing anything at all. I don't like that this product doesn't have SPF, so I have to add that after I put it on, so that's an extra step I have to take.
