Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara
This mascara is fabu! It has 3D coating technology which plumps and stretches each lash. It doesn't smudge or flake. My lashes don't droop when I wear this and it has real staying power. As a die hard fan of waterproof mascara, it often takes me about 10 minutes to take my mascara off at the end of the night. Not this mascara. It comes off so easily.
The website is pretty cool too.

Global Goddess Upgrade Complexion Face Primer
Olay Professional Pro-X Anti-aging Starter Protocol
Anti-aging Starter Protocol : Age Repair Lotion SPF 30, Eye Restoration Complex & Wrinkle Smoothing Cream.
This is a great starter kit for revitalizing your skin. Definintely using as directed on a daily basis is a must. I love the thickness and softness of each lotion. Thick, creamy & soothing to my skin. I would say that the biggest difference I noticed was around my eyes. Wrinkles, circles, and puffiness decreased. For those who are looking for a face pick-me-up without going through a procedure, I would highly recommend starting with the Pro-X Products. Olay even allows you to pick what you want to work on and put together your own regimen on their website. Go there and start rejuvenating your skin today!
IntelliWhite - Pout-n-Polish
I was so excited when I found out I was going to test this product. I thought to myself, what a great idea - lip gloss and teeth whitener all in one. Unfortunately, the polish never worked. I tried and tried to get it to work, but nothing ever came out. The polish left my mouth feeling clean and minty fresh. I am really bummed that the lip gloss was defective. Oh well, this product definitely had the potential to be great, but fell a little short of my expectations.

Icelandic Relief Eye Cream & Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
Tired puffy eyes be gone! I can not tell you how amazing the Firming Eye Gels feel. After a long day or night, your eyes and face will thank you after 10 minutes with skyn's under eye pads. They provide a cooling, soothing feeling to those tired, wrinkled, and puffy eyes. The Icelandic Relief Eye Cream helps lighten dark circles to refresh your eyes. No matter how stressed or tired you are, no one will ever know if you use the EYE CLINIC products from skyn!

The perfect smokey eye all in one cool compact. This kit comes with everything that you need to make the perfect, non-smudging, long lasting look for the evening. Mally even has tips and a video on her website on how to use the kit effectively. Click Here
The kit includes a cream to powder base, 3 shadows, and a creamy pencil liner with sparkles. The first time I tried it, I went a bit heavy on the shadow, but now I have the smokey look down - all thanks to Mally!!

Kind to Skin
Soothing Facial Toner & Moisturising Foaming Facial Wash
Simple started introducing products that are gentle on your skin almost 50 years ago. They use perfume-free, non-harsh, all natural products to create skin care everyone can use. The facial wash foams and feels gentle on my skin. I love the texture, and the way my face feels after. Clean and soft. The toner cleans the last bit of dirt and makeup from my skin without drying it out. That is a huge bonus in my book because most toners make your skin so dry it itches! Simple ingredients, kind to your face...what more could you ask for?!

High-Foaming Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath
One word - YUM! I love starting my morning with this delicious smelling potion. It makes the day that much better. I have been mostly using it as a shower gel, but it definitely works well as shampoo and gives some flavor to an extra bubbly bath. Makes me think of celebrating birthdays when I was younger. I haven't run across a scent that Philosophy makes that I don't enjoy. My advice: buy it as a stocking stuffer this Holiday season!

Global Goddess~Chair Cheek Color
Over all, this is a beautiful product that leaves me with a healthy glow to my face and a hopeful intention to care more for my skin at the same time. I would fully recommend this product-particularly in "Chowrasta", a color I have grown very fond of.

SensiClear
SensiClear System
My husband has some occasional breakouts and has tried several different face washes and products. Since I knew he was still searching for something that worked, I let him try the SensiClear System. It only took one use for him to decide that this was the product for him. He even went so far as to say that he preferred it to ProActiv. The thing he likes best is that his face feels clean after using it, and the face wash is gentle on his skin. His only complaint was that if he forgets to pack it and take it with him on trips, his face tends to break out again. Overall, he would recommend this product over all others that he has tried so far and will continue to use it in the future!

OLE HENRIKSEN Apricot Cleansing Lotion
My skin is not generally dry (unless it's opposite day), but I have a boatload of allergies.
Bath and Body Works-Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub
Not an hour after having the little tub of scrub in my home, my husband and I both had killer headaches from the strong scent. I did make it to the tub with the stuff, but could not even bare to keep it. Perhaps my nose is sensitive, but my sneezy friend and our aching heads lead me to believe that this is just an over-perfumed product.
The exfoliation factor was fine-it felt nice on my skin, but because of the overpowering scent, I ended up showering again, not wanting my skin to smell of it. Any benefits from this scrub are definitely cancelled out by it's stench. Not so therapeutic afterall.

Parissa Natural Hair Remover System 2 in 1 Roll-On
Like most hair removal systems, I had high hopes. I'm always in search of the magic bullet that will replace shaving. It is definitely mess-free. Wax stays contained in the green ball and application is easy. Too bad it didn't do a thing for me. It pulled about 3 hairs off my leg. Like a lot of hair removers, I think they're best for blond, peach fuzzy girls. Sad.

Bobbi Brown, Metalalic Long-Wear Cream Shadow
It is light enough to not look caked on and does not dry throughout the day. Perfect for day or night wear, this shade has just a hint of shimmer and oodles of class!!
For an extra long day (or night out...), I'd recommend wearing a powder shadow over this delicate cream version!!

Cosmedicine
This SPF 20 lotion is intended to subdue the shine, but I tested it twice and saw zero glare reduction. I tried a humid day and a not-so-humid day, and different sides of my face (to see if my side-parted hair was a factor) but the results were the same. I also noticed that my pores looked a little worse for the expirement.
And so my quest for non-irritating, non-zit inducing, shine control continues...

Alcone Makeup Remover Cloths
These are great because they're individually wrapped. It's annoying when you buy makeup remover cloths in a big package and the remaining cloths dry out once you open the package. The cloth took off almost all of my makeup. It doesn't work on waterproof mascara but most removers don't anyway. Great for travelling and great for the lazy.
Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea Mask
This line of products is outstanding! This mask is a green brown and has the texture of a scrub. It doesn't dry tight and hard, which can be almost painful, especially when you giggle with it on. It has a nice invigorating aromatherapy scent as well. While applied the mask is soothing - not irritating at all. I left it on for about 10 minutes. My skin definitely feels softer. It's a keeper.

One With Nature
I have fallen in love with this product! The scent is totally different from anything else I've smelled, and trust me, I've tried a lot of coconut scented products! This blend with lime is subtly invigorating. When I read the bottle, the Dead Sea salt minerals intrigued me, and having used salt scrubs before, I was expecting a chunky texture. But to my surprise and delight, this body wash is the perfect blend of the moisturizing properties of a good body wash, and that exfoliating properties of a good scrub. The shea butter works with the salt/minerals to give you a clean and polished feeling. I love this product all year round - in winter it is revitalizing, in summer it's refreshing.
You can use this product with a wash cloth, sponge or loofah. To get the best foamy lather, I recommend either a natural sponge or a sponge cover with fine loofah.

Olay Total Effects Skincare
Total Effects plus SPF 15 Fragrance Free-- Nice, light moisturizer. Love that it is fragrance free! Perfect for those winter days when you need a little something quick.
Total Effects plus Blemish Control-- Fruity-light scent, odd peach color. Does EXACTLY what it says it will! Clears up your skin and makes it look better. Ideal night product for those of us who live in the place where zits meet fine lines! My new favorite.
Total Effects Night Firming Cream-- Thicker, richer, floraly cream. Would be great for winter nights when I'm feeling a bit chapped. Too much for daily use with super-oily skin.
Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream-- Odd scent & color, but makes for lovely eyes! Great firming & bag-reducing effects.
Total Effects Instant Smoothing Serum-- My new second favorite. Perfect for the summer! Moisturizes and refines, but is super light. Goes on smooth, makes my skin happy!
Total Effects Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish Daily Cleanser-- Little scrubby beads and saylic acid make for clean, happy skin. I use it in the morning so feel like the saylic acid will keep me clear all day. I don't know that it does, but I like to think so, and I have no evidence to the contrary.
Total Effects Lathering Cleansing Cloths--la package total! Like a washcloth with all the skin cleaner already in it! They cover a lot of skin, though. Truthfully, I cut them in half before I use them--perfect amount of cleaning, scrubbing, foamyness. Makes my skin feel soft and smooth.
Total Effects plus Blemish Control-- Fruity-light scent, odd peach color. Does EXACTLY what it says it will! Clears up your skin and makes it look better. Ideal night product for those of us who live in the place where zits meet fine lines! My new favorite.
