Save your money! Here are 5 products I bought and regretted:
1. The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying SPF 15...so greasy...so very greasy
2. Any of the "tweenie" products at Sephora such as Hard Candy, Rocket City (discontinued, thank goodness), etc. Can you say sparkle overload?

Ah, memories... My biggest junior high beauty mistake:

About Me:
Hello everyone, my name is Nicole and I adore the hell out of cosmetics, movies, anime, Japanese rock, books, video games, and sleeping. My skin is oily with an occasional pimple (ah adolescence...), and my hair is normal, straight, and elbow-length. I'm fair and I avoid the sun like the plague, and the skin on my body is dry year round thanks to lingering eczema from childhood.
