Bioelements SPOTLESS CLEANSER

didn't work for me

I bought the entire line of Bioelements after a facial and even though followed the instructions precisely, it did not clear up my acne. I loved how the products felt, and the overall texture of my skin improved, but it did not budge any blackheads or unclog my pores.

bareMinerals 2-piece Powder Foundation & Brush w/SPF 15

Didn't work for me

I am a busy working mother of two small boys and I was looking for a foundation that could give me a polished look in a small amount of time. This product made my large pores appear even larger than they are, and within 3 hours of application it would coagulate with the oil on my skin and create a disgusting mess. I gave it a good month, trying different techniques and adding products recommended by the company. In the end ,I went back to my old stuff because all bare minerals did for me was magnify my flaws, definitely not what I wanted

Aveda Caribbean Therapy Body Creme

Pina colada, anyone?

I put this on straight out of the shower and remember what it feels like to be sipping rum in Barbados. I live in Wisconsin where the winters can be bitterly cold and very dry. CTBC is my go to moisturizer when my skin is chapped and my spirit needs a lift.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Does what it says!

It seems rather counter-intuitive to put something greasy on your oily skin, but it works beautifully! All you do is scoop out a bit of this balm, smear it all over your face then rinse it off! I couldn't believe how it got every trace of my waterproof mascara without having to scrub at my eyes. The biggest surprise was how much my acne improved.
