Nivea A Kiss of Rejuvenation Q10 Anti-Aging Lip Care

Best one

I always had chapped lips, even in the summer and regardless of what I tried to do. Blistex helped but it only hydrated my lips so that it was not bleeding, without doing more. Nivea really made my lips feel soft and hydrated. I put it before I sleep and always wake up to soft lips. :)

Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting Night Moisturizer

Invaluable

I have oily combination skin and have tried a bunch of different night creams, but none hydrates my dry cheeks so perfectly and without exacerbating my oily t-zone. The effects are obvious within two days of use even though I roll around in my sleep and most of it probably ends up on my pillow. Much better than Clinique or Philosophy.

EcoTools Bamboo Foundation Brush

Soft and cheap

This brush is soft and effective, definitely above regular drugstore quality. I've used it with Smashbox Camera Ready and Revlon Colorstay. For the first one it does leave bristle trails if you just use the tip, but you can use the body of the brush (the middle part) to blend a little bit and then everything looks blended and smooth. It works perfectly with liquid foundation.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel with Pump

Maybe good but not for me.

I have oily combination skin and thought that this would work for me. Instead, my face started peeling a few days after I started using the product and I had to return it. It felt really good at first and my skin felt all taut and oil-free, but I guess it just didn't click with my skin type! I'm considering trying the lotion, still.
