Shiseido's Ultra Sun protection is a high SPF sunscreen which I really liked and it didn't make my skin feel greasy. It's also not super thick the way sunscreen gets the higher the SPF gets. When you first put it on it is very white and it actually does make you look ghostly but give it a few minutes and it does mostly soak into your skin. I say mostly because the few times I wore it on my face my coworkers told me I looked paler than usual and asked if I was feeling well. It's hard to know if this is blocking any of those UVA/UVB rays so I can only comment on how it felt and made my skin look. I'm on the fence about this. While it is a decent quality it does run into the pricier range. I'd probably use this elsewhere on my body but would find another sunscreen for my face that doesn't make me look pasty. -
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
I really like the sugar lip treatment. It goes on smooth and the rose has a lovely red to it that isn't too intense or bright. I got this as a gift and while I really like it the price stops me from actually buying it. That alone makes me say spend... +

Maybelline New York Baby Lips Lip Balm
I bought the one with pink tint on sale and thought I'd give it a try. There isn't really a pink tone to this. I think it's odd that reading the back it says not to use this balm more than 3 or 4 times a day - a bit worrisome. One of the main... +
I bought the one with pink tint on sale and thought I'd give it a try. There isn't really a pink tone to this. I think it's odd that reading the back it says not to use this balm more than 3 or 4 times a day - a bit worrisome. One of the main ingredients is menthol and it smells like it. It also makes your lips tingle. It doesn't have any SPF so that's a thumbs down. The product seems to just sit on my lips rather than moisturizing them. I'll stick to Blistex. -
Almay Undereye Concealer

The under eye concealer is ok but nothing to write home about. It did a mediocre job covering up my under eye circles but I find the packaging annoying. It's a squeeze tube and I had to squeeze pretty hard to get some of the make-up out. Squeeze too hard, too much comes out and it's pretty much wasted. The brush is ridiculously stiff. I didn't even brush very hard but the bristles aren't soft enough for the delicate skin under eyes. -

The ELF HD Powder is very finely milled that it's messy and powder gets everywhere. The powder puff that comes with the product picks up the powder but deposits it in clumps on my face so I use a powder brush instead. It's very light weight and I would say it isn't a ton better or worse than the Clinique powder (Clinique does a slightly better job) I usually use except that it's a white powder so you do need to make sure you apply it evenly. It doesn't keep the oil or shine away (my face doesn't get very oily), by midday I need to use a press powder. For the price, I think it's a pretty good deal. -

I have severe eczema and decided to give Eucerin a try (I'm tired of constantly using corticosteroid creams). It's very thick, kind of greasy and takes a short while to soak into the skin. I've only been using it a short time and while my skin does feel smoother, it doesn't really help with the itching. Maybe it's good for moderate eczema but not so great for really bad cases. As a standard moisturizer I think it's fine. -

I got this from Walmart for $4 (Canadian pricing). I wanted to try it after watching YouTube reviews. I've read that some people hate the smell because it's chemically but it doesn't bother me. It's kind of a floral chemical smell that does dissipate but if you're not into scents I can see how this can be overwhelming. The bottle is poorly designed. It leaks some so you'd want to spray holding it upright instead of at an angle and it does kind of spray everywhere so I spray over the bathtub (that way the chemical doesn't land on my toothbrush). It does a decent job of cleaning my brushes but if you look at the ingredients it's basically alcohol diluted in water with a bit of smell added to it. Probably something you could make yourself for cheaper. -
