I picked up a couple of tubes of #1 after reading Nadine Haobsh's book Beauty Confidential (she swears by it). I have to admit that I am really in love with these lip balms. They add a beautiful shine to my lips and leave them soft and moisturized.
They might seem expensive, but those tubes are huge and you use so little in an application - they are sure to last a very long time.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
I found the clinique toner to be no better or worse than any other I'd tried on the market. It was the one step in the 3 step system that I could take or leave.

This is pure heaven in a bottle! I actually think it would be hard for me to live without my Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion. It is a thick lotion that my skin completely drinks right up. The smell is divine (though they do have an unscented version for people who are sensitive to scents)...and I love how smooth and soft my skin is after I use it.
I've used alot of lotions in my life, but this one is my favourite - bar none. Best of all - it isn't tested on animals, which is something that is very important to me.

Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion with Pure Cocoa Butter
Works well and smells pretty...but it doesn't hold a candle to my Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion.

I got this stuff as a sample from Clinique when I purchased a bunch of other stuff. Loved it! Of course, at the time couldn't justify the price to keep using it, but now that the wrinkles are starting to find their way into myeye area, I find myself trying a few different eye creams. I will likely go back to this one. -
Spectro Jel Cleanser
My skin didn't feel clean after using it...and it discoloured our towels. My fiancee used it for years until we finally identified it as the culprit that was discolouring his shirt collars.

I have heard people rave about Cetaphil (both the cleanser and the moisurizer) for years. I gave both an honest shot one summer and can't say I was impressed with either. The moisurizer, in particular, was not a fave of mine. It just felt like it wasn't doing it's job. Just my experience - yours may differ. I personally won't go back to it. -

I have slightly dry, sensitive, acne prone skin and I used this exclusively as my moisturizer for years...purely for the fact that it didn't break me out at all. It absorbs quickly and does a good job. I really needed something a bit more heavy duty on th moisture side, though, and have since switched to Philosophy's Hope in a Jar which fits the bill nicely.
I think Dramatically Different would be a good moisturizer for someone with normal or combination skin.

I also got this as my birthday gift from Sephora. It was pure torture saving it until my birthday (yesterday) to give it a try - as a part of my pamper day that I had planned for myself.
That being said - it is a nice product. I learned the hard way that a little goes a long way. My skin didn't feel greasy or over lotioned and it stayed soft all the way through the day.
While I like it, I just cannot justify the pricetag for an 8 oz tube. It's just not gonna happen. But I will look forward to each November when I can get my birthday tube from Sephora and enter the winter months with soft, luscious skin.

After many years using Clinique's 3-step system, and gettingno results, I leaped at a chance to try Philosophy's products. I am really impressed with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple cleanser. Never in my 10+ years using clinique has my face felt this clean when I finished washinf it. I always felt like it was coated and then a follow-up toner only helped to dry out my skin.
Purity made Simple feels just like it says...Pure and Simple. I use twice a day and my skin feels so soft and clean. Then I follow it up with my now beloved Hope In a Jar and the Hope in a Tube eye and lip cream. I notice that my skin is clearer and I want to say more radiant.
I highly recommend buying one of their kits to try a few products (they are a really good deal).
