bareMinerals Brow Color

Pretty good stuff

I have very dark hair, and somehow ended up with light brown brows. When I can't afford to dye them, I use this, which works well. The color is true and it looks natural. It's messy, and necessary to tap the brush, lest you look like a freak, but it works for me.

Dermalogica mediBac Clearing Overnight Clearing Gel

Killed my face

I am plagued with adult acne, and have struggled to find products that compare with a kit I was using, but is now too costly. I had high hopes, but had a reaction to this product: I broke out in tiny bumps, had red, dry patches, and my entire face peeled off. Twice. I returned it and am now hesitant to use anything with salicylic acid. To be fair (the reason I didn't give it a "0") it may work for someone with super-oily skin and no sensitivity, but for me it was a disaster.

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara

Great product, great bargain

I switched to this mascara when my budget could no longer support the DiorShow I had grown to love. I'm now using this, in carbon black, and couldn't be happier. My lashes are thin and sparse, and this mascara does the trick!

AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

Love this stuff

This lotion works great for keratosis pilaris (bumps on backs of arms and legs) and really dry skin. My only complaint is that it is a bit occlusive. I only use it in the winter because it makes me too hot when the weather is warmer. It doesn't cause your skin to peel like some stronger lactic acid lotions.
