This is an amazing powder foundation, because it's light enough to use as a setting powder as well as offering light to medium coverage as a standalone powder foundation. I love the sturdy black packaging. Only con would be a lack of truly fair shades (shade range is limited).

This is velvety and glides on like a BB Cream, but with better coverage and a less dewy feel. I am in my mid 30's and still have quite combo/oily skin, and I love the middle of the road satin finish. Does not look cakey and heavy like most foundations. Smells amazing, and has a little SPF. I just sweep some powder over my t-zone and I'm good to go!

Noxzema works so well for my oily, breakout prone skin. For some reason, foaming cleansers make my skin worse, but cream cleansers are too emollient for my combo/oily skin. And although Noxzema is a cream cleanser, it somehow manages to be non-greasy. For makeup removal, I either have to double cleanse or pair this with a damp, warm washcloth. But it's worth the extra effort, because this leaves my complexion looking smooth and matte (I hate shiny skin!). With continued use, my overally skintone is more even, and my t-zone is less oily throughout the day. This is also good for keeping breakouts away, and I am in love with the way Noxzema smells! I don't like the jar packaging but the pump version is too runny, so I wish this were sold in a squeeze tube. This is a great alternative to surfactant based cleansers, for women who still need/want a deep clean.

First off, yes, this will dry out your skin if you use it twice daily, every day. I found this was more drying the first 2 weeks, then my skin adjusted to it. BUT I deal with the drying effects, because this is the only cleanser that clears my skin, and keeps it clear, all on its own! I follow it with Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisture for combo skin and my skin is balanced. In the summer this isn't overly drying, but in cooler months is when I notice it. This also has helped with my shiny t-zone, I don't have to blot as often when I am using this cleanser. I love the way this smells, so fresh and clean! This also removes every bit of makeup in one wash. I would only recommend this to combo/oily to very oily skinned gals. Any other skintype, will most definitely want to follow this with a moisturizer.

This is one of the few powders I have actually used up and repurchased! This can be worn alone, but also works well when worn over liquid foundation. I am pretty pale, and the lightest shade "Classic Ivory" is almost too dark for me. This is silky and smooth and makes skin look airbrushed! I love the compact, that isn't huge like so many others at the drugstore. The included puff is great, it's super soft, or you can just apply it with a brush. I have a super oily t-zone and can reapply several times a day and not get cakey. BTW, this is the exact same formula (I compared the ingredient lists) as their discontinued Fresh Look Powder (the one that used to be sold in the slim, silver compact), which I used for years prior to this one.

I have "Refined Rose" and "Peach Perfection", and have used these two trio's since I was in high school! I love the versatility of having 3 shades, although most days I just swirl my brush over all 3 to make a single shade. I love the highlight shades too, which offer a nice change from white highlights, and these can actually double well as an eyeshadow! CG recently removed the classic Noxzema fragrance oils, so these are now oil and fragrance free, yet still have great pigmentation and apply smoothly. I think these blushes are the best I have used at the drugstore, which is why I have stayed so loyal to them!

I use the original twist up stick version, because it's much more convenient to use and more portable than the jar pot. I have chapped, peeling lips most of the year for whatever reason, and I always need a medicated lipbalm in the winter. Carmex is one I always go back to, because it immediately improves the condition of my lips. I also like to use this under lipsticks as a protective base. I actually love the menthol/camphor scent, it's refreshing!

This review is for the shade "Copper Radiance", the cooler option of the two bronzer shades offered. This is a good bronzer for fair skinned gals, just because unlike most bronzers it does not have an orange/overly warm undertone. The depth of the shade is just right for lighter skin as well, because you don't have to worry about being to heavy handed when you apply it. The only reason I deducted a lippie was because of the sheen this has. While it's not chunky glittery, it's also not matte, which I would prefer. I like how small and portable CG cheekers/bronzers are, and the price is great too!

I used this quad all through high school, and I'm so glad it's still around! These colors are so pretty for dark blue eyes, and really make them POP! I love the gold shade, sometimes I use it as a highlight, sometimes I mix it with the browns, and sometimes I wear it as an all over lid color when I don't want a lighter look. You can go easy handed and have a nice daytime neutral look, or add in the darkest brown for a dramatic smoky eye. I find the pigmentation to be very good, and these last all day. Will always have this quad in my collection, as long as CG makes it!

This has been around for a long time, I remember using this in the 90's! It's still one of the best moisturizers for oily skin. Even though I have gotten older, my skin is still oily and breakout prone, and most moisturizers break me out and make me even oilier. BUT I have dry, flaky cheeks where I am not as oily, so I do need some moisture, and this is just perfect. This is lightweight, and it hydrates, but sinks in completely. No shiny, greasy finish with this one, and my flaky spots are smoothed over. This works great under makeup too! Love the convenient pump bottle, and it's not overly expensive.
