Almay Smart Shade Blush

Alright

It is basically impossible to give yourself clown-cheeks with this blush, so if you aren't experienced at make-up application, this could be great for you! I wish it lasted longer, but it does make your skin look healthy.

St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer

WONDERFUL

This cream lasts and lasts and lasts because the tub is a reasonable size and it is so creamy that it spreads well. I use it at night and under my makeup. Since I've started using it, I have had little trouble with dry skin, even in the winter. I don't know if it is making my skin more elastic (I'm only 22) but it never hurts to start prevention early!

Clean & Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Moisturizer

Borrowed it, don't know if I'd purchase

I borrowed some of this from a roommate one time, and while it worked beautifully under my makeup, I don't know that my pores looked any better.

Clean & Clear Oil Free Shine Control Moisturizer

Not worth it

This didn't moisturize much, and definitely not below the surface of the skin.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

When the occasion calls for it...PERFECT

This product is not to be used daily or all over, but on stinging, dry, or painful areas, it is a godsend!!

Pond's Dry Skin Cream

Great, especially for the price

This cream worked wonders on my combination skin, which has major drying issues in the winter. Sometimes I found it to be too greasy to wear under make-up, but waiting a half hour or so to apply foundation helped this quite a bit.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Good lotion, but not for big problems

This moisturizer is wonderful for skin that is not already too dry. It smells great and is not slimy feeling, but did not do much for extremely dry patches.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes - Hydrating

Removes MOST makeup

This removed all my facial makeup without drying out my skin. It also smelled pretty good. However, not even once did it remove all of my mascara, and I don't use waterproof.

Proactiv Refining Mask

Decent

Good spot treatment, but would take longer that overnight to see results and it smelled absolutely awful.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Good solid product

This won't get rid of severe acne, but it does soothe existing issues. Only problem I had was that some bits of the masque would get stuck in the dry skin around zits and required scrubbing to get off. Smells great though.
