SkinClean - Scientific Breakthough - Clear, Smooth Skin is Now a Reality
First to recommend
Description
My skin has never looked better than when I use SkinClean to wash it with. I am on my third order of the stuff. It really, really works. I have very oily skin with huge pores. Very few lines and do not break out very often. When using SkinClean my skin stays clear (although as I said, I rarely break out). What I really notice and so have others is the texture of my skin. It just looks very, very smooth and dare I say glowy. I get the daily and weekly scrub. I use the daily scrub at night and the weekly scrub I keep in my shower and use it every morning to wash my face. One order of the daily/weekly will last you probably six months. There is a new toner that I have not yet tried, but I'm sure is awesome! Better skin through science. I love it! Science, it works.....!

Neosporin LT, Lip Treatment

Description
My lips used to continually be dry, crack and peel (even tho I wear lipstick/lipgloss every day). Let me tell you, Neosporin Lip Treatment is nothing less than a Goddessend! This is the most amazing product. It exceeded my expectations. I put it on every night before I go to bed and my lips are soft and moisturized the next morning (no dryness, cracking or peeling). If you at all suffer from dry lips you have to try a tube of this miracle product. I'm already on my third tube!

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Primer
First to recommend
Description
The most amazing primer I have ever used. I got sucked into this one day when making my way through Macy's. The gal at the counter told me this stuff acts like little kerns of corn that pop to fill in lines and pores. WTF? Well, she tried some on me and I was amazed. I don't have any wrinkles (perhaps a few faint fine lines) however the pores on my nose make it looks like a strawberry. This stuff if like the most amazing pore spackle. Seriously this stuff does what the lady said it would do. It really does smooth everything out. You can also use this under your eyes too! Great stuff and not too pricey. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Illuminare Cosmetics - Ultimate All Day Mineral Foundation
First to recommend
Description
If I could only own one foundation in the world, this would be it! It does it all! I have very oily skin with large pores (no wrinkles and I rarely if ever break out). This is liquid mineral foundation. You only need the very smallest amount to cover your entire face (just a tad less than the size of a pea). I also smooth on my eyelids for the most amazing eyeshadow base. I use my MAC "skunk" foundation brush to apply this. It makes my skin look airbrushed and my pores disappear. Even better, it last morning to night and keeps my skin looking great and not oily! Simply an amazing product. If you think Bare Escentals is the be all end all of mineral foundation (granted BE is powder and Illuminare is liquid) give this one a try and you will not be sorry. The best thing about Illuminare is that you can order sample sizes. Take that Bare Escentals.

Maybelline New York: - Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation
First to recommend
Description
I am a self-proclaimed foundation ho. When it comes to foundation I do not discriminate. I try them all from Armani to Cover Girl. Instant Age Rewind foundation is a high end foundation masquerading in a drugstore bottle. This stuff is amazing. I bought it after getting a recommendation on one of my fav. beauty sites, Beauty Buzz. I have very oily skin with large pores and no wrinkles. I rarely break out. This foundation makes my skin look beautiful. It reminds me somewhat of the Armani foundation that I have tried and loved in the past. It only takes about 3 pumps of this foundation. I then apply with my MAC skunk (I forget the number of this brush) foundation brush. My skin literally looks airbrushed. This foundation lasts all day and does not make my skin look oily. I've been using it about two weeks not and have not broken out at all. I believe this is marketed towards "older" skin, but you could be any age and use this foundation. The only thing that could be improved with this foundation is the color selection. If you are looking for high end performance at a low end price check this foundation out. What have you got to loose?

Pure Luxe Cosmetics - You Glow Girl! Natural Mineral Setting Powder
First to recommend
Description
I will never be without my You Glow Girl mineral powder, ever! This is a finishing powder (think Bare Escentals Mineral Veil but more glowy). This stuff is just amazing and it is all natural. It gives a great finish and radiance to your skin! If you are a fan of minerals, you really have to try this line. You can also order samples before you take the plunge and order a full size! Hello, Bare Escentals are you listening?
