Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer
This is my current go-to morning moisturizer at the moment. It's great because it absorbs quickly and it's a perfect base for applying my make up. I like how the cream is very light and I feel my skin is soft after using it!

I really enjoyed the idea of bb creams back in high school. My skin wasn't too bad, but I did have a bit redness. BB creams were a great way to moisturize / correct my complexion.
However, using this product, it broke me out like CRAZY. I know a lot of my friends have had wonderful success stories from this product, but this just plugged up all my pores ...
I wish it had worked for me though ... cause this is otherwise a wonderful product.

I found out about this product during my 2-3 years of extremely bad breakouts. Many Youtubers / bloggers were raving about the Egyptian Magic being their holy grail product and talking about how natural and harmless the ingredients are. At the time, the tub with 4 oz was $40, which meant the price/product price wasn't too bad. However, it was super inconvenient to find in stores - I had to go to a natural foods store to find it.
To use this product, you have to rub it on your fingers to melt the oil a little bit. After using this product, I feel like it did not totally absorb into my skin (not for a while anyway). I always used this at night, so the product had time to soak into my skin. When I wake up in the morning, I have this 'sticky' feeling; but when i touch my skin, it does feel smooth and dry.
Personally not a fan of the product. Its a bit of a hassle with the melting the oil on your fingers and feeling oily right after you apply it. Also the price is a little high for using such basic / simple ingredients (ie: honey, olive oil, beeswax, etc.)

Unfortunately, this toner did not work out for me. I had an extremely bad breakout in the last couple years, and I was trying out every product out there for acne prone skin. The only problem is that my acne is not from having an oily face (and in fact, I have dry-normal skin). Using this toner dried out my face so much, that it felt like my skin was ripping apart if I didn't apply a moisturizer right away.
I suspect this product is better for those for oilier / combination skin.

Favorite toner for the past 2 years! It leaves my skin feeling soft and not tight like some cleansing toners do. For around $12, this is an extremely good deal. It comes in a pretty big bottle that can usually be found in organic super markets / health stores. The ingredients in this are all natural and it smells amazing. I use it every morning and night after washing my face. -
Victoria’s Secret Fabulous Eau de Parfum
Been using this scent for 2 years now and I still love it as a go-to perfume in the mornings! It has a light, "girly" smell and it lasts through most of my day. It's a pretty versatile wear for day time or night time too.

I have been on a hunt for an everyday pressed powder foundation recently and one of the Sephora sales associates recommended this. She matched it to my face in the store - although, its always really hard to tell the true color because of the poor store lighting.
Pros:
- good coverage
- conceals red spots
- doesn't look powdery / flakey
- long lasting (even after a sweaty workout)
- large range of colors
Cons:
- PRICEY
- NOT A LOT OF PRODUCT IN THE PAN
- can look heavy if you try to build it up too much
- dull finish
Overall, I'm not a big fan of this product. It works - but I think I can find something better for that price. As an everyday powder foundation, $55 is a lot to spend on a product that hit the pan within a month.

The Bausch & Lomb PeroxiClear is a relatively new contact lens cleaning solution. It is similar to the CIBA Vision Clear Care product. They both use peroxide and require a special lens case to neutralize the solution.
I've been using Clear Care for about a year, and nothing was wrong with it. At my last visit to the optometrist, I mentioned I had dry eyes and she gave me a starter kit of the PeroxiClear to try. I've been using it for 2 weeks now, and so far I think I like it ! My eyes seem less dry throughout the day and I'm using less eye drops.
Pros: (compared to Clear Care)
- disinfects in 4 hrs (vs. 6 hrs)
- claims it has a tripe moist technology to keep your lens hydrated
Cons: (compared to Clear Care)
- doesn't come in the value pack at 480mL
So far I am liking the new lens cleaning solution. I have to admit ... they are pretty similar products. Whether the extra hydration I'm feeling is a placebo affect from their marketing or not, its working on me!

I purchased an entire set of First Aid Beauty products, so this came in a kit with a very good price.
This is one of my favorite masks recently because it doesn't dry on my face stiff. It only takes 10 minutes (although I usually leave it on for longer) and leaves me feeling soft!
Pros:
- pretty good smell
- very light
- gentle on the face
- only takes 10 mins
- pretty natural ingredients
Cons:
- bit pricey if I didn't get it from the kit
- chunks of oatmeal can feel a little awkward on the face
- not sure how effective it is
Like the product overall! Just not sure who well this product is working on me because my skin is not overly distressed. It makes me feel refreshed and clean after though.

As it turns out, it was WAAAAYYYY too light for me (R230). I am a MAC NC35 for reference. I have now swapped it for a shade higher R250, but I am still having troubles convincing myself that it's a good match to my skin tone.
Pros:
- looks natural
- buildable without looking cakey
- mineral powder
- has SPF 20
Cons:
- can get flakey in dry spots
- doesn't conceal redness completely
- poor color range (it alternates from Yellow undertone to Neutral undertone between shades)
- must use their 'Precision Brush' to get a good application (or a similar dense bristle, flat top brush)
Currently undecided on the product. It works, but I would love it more if I could find the perfect match to my skintone. For the price, I am willing to give it a longer try. Probably not something I would recommend and hype up to my friends though.
