The only moisturizer that has ever worked for me

I have a combination skin type. I get very oily in the center of my face. On my cheeks I get very bad dry spots that flake up whenever I put any type of makeup on. This is no longer true. This moisturizer has made my dry patches disappear and my skin seems less oily than before. I don’t know if that’s because this moisturizer has finally evened out the oil production in my skin or what else it could be. I have also noticed that my skin is clearer than before. Again, I don’t know if that’s because my skin is producing less oil or if it’s because this moisturizer “agrees” with my skin better. All I know is that this moisturizer is the only one that has ever worked for me The only downside to this product is the price. It’s very expensive to buy full size containers from Sephora or Ulta. It’s a lot cheaper to buy sample sizes from Ebay. You just have to make sure that you are buying the real thing.

My go to lip product

I use this almost every single day and most of the time I cannot stand to use any type of lip products unless it’s a lip balm. When I put this on, I forget it’s there until I look in the mirror. Even then, I only notice that my lips are a little brighter than normal. I have very pigmented lips so this makes them look like they’re a brighter berry color. I believe it is obvious that I love the color. It’s just enough to brighten myself up without wearing a lot of makeup. This product is very low maintenance as well. I will put it on before I have class in the morning and I won’t have to reapply until after I have time to eat for lunch, which is usually around 1. However, if you are eating or drinking a lot throughout the day you will definitely need to reapply more than I do.

These lipsticks are quite opaque, but they are easily sheered down for a daily wear color.

This lipstick is also quite moisturizing. I forego a lip balm underneath it because I simply don’t need it. This provides the only moisture that I need for the day.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a lipstick that they could wear daily.

Not for me

I have bought this foundation twice. The first time I bought it and used it, I loved it. It was during the summer when I was a little tan so the lightest shade worked perfect for me. It was lightweight which I loved. What I didn’t love was that it made my skin look extremely oily. After being outside for a couple of hours, I looked like I just rubbed baby oil all over my face. It was not a pretty look. So, I only wore it when I was only going to be out for a little bit. Because I liked it pretty well the first time, I tried it I decided to try it again. This time I could not stand it. I repurchased this foundation in the middle of the winter. I was back to being really pale and the lightest shade was way too dark for me. I also had the same problem with the foundation making my skin very oily. Overall, I’m not a big fan of this foundation. The coverage is very light as well. I wear foundation to cover up the redness in my skin and my blemishes. The foundation covered my redness for a little bit but did nothing for the blemishes. I would recommend it to someone that is tan, has dry skin, and has extremely clear skin.

I was very disappointed.

I was very excited about this foundation when I saw it in stores. I saw that it had a pump and the color selection looked amazing. I had also watched some videos about it on YouTube and it was called “the perfect foundation for a pale girl.” I guess I’m too pale… For me the lightest color was alright but I needed it to be a little lighter. The coverage was not very good either. I have old acne scars that are pretty dark and it did not come close to covering it. The foundation could not even really cover all of the redness in my skin either. Because I’m so pale any redness in my skin is really apparent and this foundation only covered it a little bit. It could not cover the redness of new blemishes either. The texture of the foundation put me off a lot too. Whenever I buy liquid foundations, I expect them to feel like liquids. This foundation was very powdery whenever I went to apply it to my face. When it comes to staying power, this foundation comes up short yet again. I noticed that this foundation disappeared in patches throughout a couple of hours. It also rubbed off on EVERYTHING. I hugged a friend of mine and there was a smudge on his shirt from where my chin hit his shoulder. It was extremely embarrassing. This foundation caused a major breakout for me too. I recently found a new face wash that helped almost clear my face completely. Then I used this foundation and I had a monstrous breakout all over my face. It was heart breaking. Overall, I can’t say that I would recommend this foundation to anyone. It just did not work for me at all. It could work for someone else though. The only pro that I found was the pump. I love foundations that have pumps because they’re a lot more sanitary and less messy.

Favorite nail polishes

I love this nail polishes. The formulation is amazing! Any other nail polish that I use easily chips off where I work. Essie nail polishes stay on all week with minimal chipping and a little tip wear. I will purchase many many more of these.

Terrible

This is basically a bar of soap. It does absolutely nothing for your skin. It dries it out though. I bought this because I had a bad reaction to a foundation and I needed something that would take care of my major breakout and this just made it worse.

I love this scrub

This is my favorite scrub of all time. I have a lot of dry patches and this scrub and the scrublet it comes with takes care of them. I used to have to use a scrub once a day because of how dry my skin was but with this I only have to use it 2 times a week.

I have noticed that my pores look smaller and I don't have blackheads around my nose and cheeks anymore. My face also hasn't broken out very much lately since I have been using this. This is definitely my favorite scrub of all time.
