WOW. This is THE best concealer I have ever used! It honestly works like magic. I bought it on a whim when I needed a concealer to cover a major blemish right before a big night out, so I scooped this one up from the drug store because it was on sale. I could not have been happier, and I am definitely going to buy another once this one runs out. It covers imperfections incredibly (including those damn acne scars that nothing seems to cover!) I use it under my powder, and it gives me a flawless finish all day … no touch ups required! And the absolute best part is that it has saylacilic acid in it, so it will fight acne while covering it up! -
NIVEA Hydro Care Lip Balm

This mascara is absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Seriously. I have used Maybelline mascara in the past and haven’t been overly impressed (I am not a huge fan of the ubiquitous pink and green tube) but after reading all the amazing reviews here I just had to try this one. I am forever on a quest for the best volumizing mascara, and I can honestly say I FOUND IT!!! It does not lie when it says it doesn’t clump, and while it’s difficult to gauge if it actually multiplies your lashes by 9x it certainly does make them appear thicker. It also made my lashes a lot longer … I even stopped using my eyeliner because I liked the way my lashes looked with this mascara alone so much! Many people have mentioned the smell and I have to say it is horrendous lol but I can only smell it for as long as I’m applying it, and then its gone. Its not terribly pricey for the quality (I saw it on sale at Pharma Plus a couple of weeks ago for 4.99 and I bought 3 tubes!)
I highly highly recommend this mascara!

I think this is a great product. With S&H;(if you order online like I did) it comes to about 50 bucks for a 60 day supply (which you will find lasts A LOT longer than 60 days!) The kit I got comes with the renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner and... +
I think this is a great product. With S&H;(if you order online like I did) it comes to about 50 bucks for a 60 day supply (which you will find lasts A LOT longer than 60 days!)
The kit I got comes with the renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner and repairing lotion. I also got a sample size of the refining mask (note: when you order, you are automatically enrolled in their Clear Skin Club which will send you the same kit every 60 days unless you tell them otherwise. The thing I want to point out is that the refining mask only comes with your first shipment, and if you want it after that, you have to buy it unfortunately.)
The cleanser is my favourite product. It works very well (I notice a drastic difference when I run out and stop using it for even a couple of days) and makes my skin very soft. It has tiny beads that scrub your skin free of impurities and acne causing bacteria, but its not such a harsh scrub that it dries your skin out.
The toner is ok. It is the second step in the 3 step system, and I mostly use it to wipe away the eye makeup that the cleanser has left behind to be honest (its an acne care system so I guess the cleanser is not really meant to get rid of mascara!)
The repairing lotion is amazing. It works very very well. It’s a thick lotion and it has a relatively strong amount of benzol peroxide in it, so it is too harsh to use on your skin more than once a day. I made the mistake of ignoring the directions and using it morning AND night when I first got it, and it severely dried out my skin (which is the problem a lot of other people had mentioned).
The refining mask is great as well. I use it at night as a spot treatment and it works very well. It’s important to remember its not MAGIC, but it does reduce the size and redness of my pimples overnight. I also like to use it on my full face, because it makes my skin look very healthy and radiant afterwards.
Overall I would highly recommend this product. It does seem pricy at first glance, but when you consider that it really does work and it lasts for a super long time it is worth it. Not to mention that if you were to add up all the money you throw away on other acne treatment products that DON'T work, it adds up to be far more expensive than buying this one system that DOES. Good luck!

I swear by this product. As misschickie mentioned, it makes your hair smell very good (I get comments all the time!) and it really does get rid of dandruff. I stopped using it a while ago simply because I wanted to try a new shampoo and there was a noticable difference in the shine and texture of my hair. I will never stop using it. -
L'Oreal Lash Architect 3-D Dramatic Mascara

This was literally THE worst mascara I have ever used. I bought it becuase it was super cheap and I usually love L'Oreal mascaras (I am a big fan of their Voluminous mascara). The package promised the look of false lashes, but I got anything but. First off, the handle of the wand is an awkward shape and size which made application difficult. The brush was equally awkward -- it is far too stiff. The mascara itself clumped my lashes together, and did not separate at all. Also, because of the awkward size of the wand, I ended up getting some in my actual eye once and it stung and burned VERY badly. All around I was very unimpressed with this mascara, and ended up throwing it out. -
