Dermalogica:
Skin Smoothing Cream: Love it! I just bought my second tube. It moisturizes my dried out winter skin (probably will be too heavy for winter so I'll go back to active moist). Cleared up skin (from a recent milia breakout) and my skin feels and looks awesome.
Super cleansing gel: I just started using this again but now I notice that compared to the OCM it does not take off makeup very well. Still works ok for morning and for cleansing a clean face.
Skin conditioner:spray on toner. It is ok. Not something I would repurchase.
Cream Exfoliant: Not impressed. I noticed very little difference and it actually made me break out a little after using this product.
Neutrogena Eye Cream: For deep wrinkles. I would say it is just ok. Does not moisturize very well and I found my eyelids to be a bit itchy. I put my moisturizer (dermalogica on my eyes before this and it has worked ok. I noticed my eyelids and under are smoother but not sure if it is the eyecream or the moisturizer.
Aveno Dry Skin body moisturizer: LOVE THIS!!! I can actually skip a day in between applications and its the middle of winter!!! It is the one for itch relief...smells kinda like menthol. LOVE!!!
Apricot Scrub: I used this stuff in high school and for some weird reason I stopped. I have used very expensive exfoliants and nothing compares to this stuff. It is cheap and you get a bunch! I use the gental one for everyday exfoliating and the normal one for once a week before my mask (Queen Helene)! It has (I feel) completly cured my milia outbreak and I am sold on this stuff. I have heard bad things about it but when you get right down to it...it works and that is all I'm asking for.
My skin is finally on its way to healing and I couldnt be happier. I finally looked in the mirror and didnt get discouraged!
I bought some drugstore make up.....
Covergirl Outlast!!! I'm really impressed. I bought it to cover some of my really bad breakout scars and I think the primer helps the moisture stay in my skin though out the day. The coverage is medium...not too heavy and I matched my color on the first try. I was impressed. Normally I use mineral makeup but with my dry skin it has been looking kinda chalky. For liquid I normally use MAC...just to compare.
Covergirl blush: The one with one big one in the center and two smaller colors on each side. I bought coral and I'm also really impressed. The color is subtle and great. Stays on all day and it was free with my foundation.
Sally Hansen lip gloss: nude and peach...love the gloss but the colors are too light. They are really moisturizing....supposed to plump but NOT! I also bought the clear one that is supposed to plump...dont buy!! It stings and tastes terrible and it dries your lips.
Revlon Lengths Mascara: Its new...its in a beige and gold tube....it is awesome! I LOVE IT!!! Lengthens and does not get all clumpy!
I think that is all for now...I went a little crazy the last couple of days. |

Great reviews Olivia! I HAVE to try the Aveno body lotion now. I don't know why, but I absolutely HATE to put lotion all over and if this will allow me to do it only every other day, then it's a winner in my book!  |

| I agree...I hate putting on lotion everyday. And I think I forgot to add it but the scrub was st. ives...I also checked the blush...it is called instant cheekbones. |

Great reviews Olivia 
I have tried the Aveeno Dry Skin Moisturiser and I can ssecond your rave it is fantastic. I only needed to use it every couple of days.
I am still yet to try the Apricot scrub, I think I sniffed it once when I was shopping in Boots and didn't mind the scent
The Revlon Mascara sounds good too. |

Why is it that we'll take the time and effort, and really enjoy it, putting stuff on our face, but dislike taking the time and effort to moisturize our body? I'm the same way. During the week, I feel so rushed in the morning to get ready and get to the office. I'm gonna try the Aveeno.
Apricot Scrub: I rotate between using this and a finer srub. I do like to use this during the summer months when I use self-tanning creams. |

I bought the regular apricot scrub and the "gentle" one...I rotate so I dont over exfoliate. I have found that it is keeping the milia in check...and my skin feels so soft and my makeup goes on better. I have tried lots of products but St Ives is inexpensive and does the job...you cant ask for much more.
I've used the aveeno shower gel for dry skin and it also works nice...I may try using that as well as the moisturizer...I may only need to moisturze every 3 days. I agree Debra...it does not seem fair that I spend an hour every night on my face and no time at all on my body. I need to change that!!! |
