The Repairwear Sculpting Night Cream from Clinique came as a complete surprise, since I really underestimated its moisturizing capabilities. This is a true gel-cream that feels thin and light when you scoop it out, but goes on thick and almost oily. It's perfect for my combination skin since it doesn't congest my T-zone and it hydrates my dry cheeks. This might not have enough moisture for dry skin, but it's a fantastic product for normal to oily. My skin always looks fresh, clear and really bouncy after using this night cream. -

I always pull out my Clarins UV Plus +HP Multi-Protection Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 40 in the shade Light when I want a bb cream-like coverage along with some reliable sun protection. This product is definitely more of a tan shade, and it is quite dark for my pale complexion. Nevertheless, it truly is a tinted sunscreen, and works as a nice boost of colour on vacation, under makeup, or alone on the weekend.
This sunscreen comes in a small 50mL bottle (1.7 fl. Oz) and is a very thin liquid. The active ingredient is Titanium Dioxide (7%) which is a mineral sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Clarins UV + HP Sunscreen comes in two shades: light and medium.
Like with many sunscreens, my skin will get a bit more oily throughout the day when I wear it, and the product has a tendency to highlight any dry or flaky skin. This particular sunscreen will dry down to a nice matte finish upon application, so a hint of shine after a few hours never bothers me.

L'Occitane Citrus Verbena Shampoo
I have healthy, uncoloured, and fine hair which will get oily within 24 hours no matter how often I wash. This is comparable to the Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo. It cleans my hair and scalp, but doesn't dry anything out. This is a pricier product... +
I have healthy, uncoloured, and fine hair which will get oily within 24 hours no matter how often I wash. This is comparable to the Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo. It cleans my hair and scalp, but doesn't dry anything out.
This is a pricier product ($23), but the benefit is that you need a lot less gel to get that same lather and clean feeling than you would with a $8 bottle. Just make sure that your hair is quite wet so that it lathers up well.
This stuff is the definition of zingy and fresh. Not only does it smell amazing, but the hint of menthol makes your skin tingle as you massage it through your strands. After I use this shampoo, my hair looks very shiny and has decent volume. I especially love how I don't need to use a conditioner afterwards.

This "Recovery Night Gel-Balm" is so unique and really effective. I love nighttime treatments, much like the popular Korean sleeping packs. This formula includes hyaluronic acid and repairing oils, which will make your skin look luminous and healthy when you wake up - guaranteed! It is quite fragranced, but I like the fruity smell so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to that. Overall, I love the fresh, bouncy gel formula of this night treatment since it glides onto the skin, leaving me with a silky smooth finish and bright glowy skin in the morning.

Woohoo got to try this serum through the Product Review Club! I'm so impressed with the packaging, first off. Sleek glass pump bottle filled with a glowy, pearlescent cream serum. I love using this stuff in the morning in place of my moisturizer, since I have combo skin and I don't have any dryness in the summer. It works as a beautiful illuminating base to my foundation and it definitely smooths out the surface of my skin. Though it isn't miraculous, it does what it says and it can improve any skin issues. The fragrance is very pretty, so be careful if you can only use fragrance-free. Drugstores always have sales so don't let the almost $60 price tag scare you away. -

This yummy lotion is a new favourite from the Rosie box set I received from my girlfriends for my birthday. (Thanks ladies!) Similar to a hair conditioner, you massage this sweet vanilla/rose/almond cream all over the body, and rinse it off before hopping out of the warm water - No moisturizer needed! It's a pricier product, but unlike anything I've tried before. If you're looking for a lovely gift for someone special, this is a must. -

This soap is an easy and gentle option which leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean in a jiffy. The "active marine algae" extracted from seaweed protects and moisturizes, leaving a fresh ocean scent behind. I don't use this one daily, but it works great for when I'm in a rush. I picked mine up at Urban Outfitters. -

The Body Shop Exfoliating Bath Gloves
These magical gloves are probably my favourite part of the entire shower routine. Especially the day before or after shaving, a gentle scrub using my exfoliating gloves and citrus body wash keeps me smooth, free from bumps, and very clean.
