This is a very nice moisturizing scrub. Its also really cheap. I personally am not fond of the scent at all, but it works pretty decently on dry spots and dry skin. I usually go to this when i want a gentle scrub between my regular weekly scrubs. I find this to be much different from other scrubs, as it doesn't strip away all the oils, and my face still feels soft and moisturized afterwards. The grains in this are kind of thicker, like oatmeal, and there aren't a lot of grains, so this is a very gentle scrub. I'm not sure I would recommend this to sensitive skin as the scent could be potentially irritating, but this is indeed a very gentle scrub, that is good for use more than once a week. -

This is a super cheap peel-off mask. For the price, I think this works pretty decently at cleaning out pores. This does take a while to dry, but I find it very interesting that it dries clear. The thickness of this is also very buildable, but it does come out very wet at the beginning, which is potentially why it takes a while to dry. When peeling off, this stretches out, and is very easy to peel off. If there are any peices left over, it is also very easy to rinse off. I don't think this works as well as the biore pore strips, but it is also much gentler on the skin, and is way cheaper. -

I have the cucumber, sweet tea and lemon, and lemon and mint masks. These are a really cheap masks, with the cucumber and sweet tea lemon one as peel off, and the lemon mint as clay masks. I usually use these to multi-mask, so I put the lemon mint one where I tend to get oily, and alternate between the sweet tea lemon and cucumber around the cheeks and nose. I find the clay one to be very good at helping with controlling oil, and the sweet tea lemon and cucumber to be decent at cleaning pores. I can't say that these are as good as the biore pore strips, but they do clean out more surface level impurities. Out of all of them, I like the lemon mint clay one the most, and the cucumber one the least, as it takes a longer time than the sweet tea lemon one to dry, but all of them do work well for how cheap they are. -

This is a really cheap clay mask, but it works just like any other expensive clay mask. I usually multi-mask, so I put this where I tend to get oily. I can't tell whether this shrinks my pores, but my skin feels much cleaner and is less oily when I use this. As clay masks are meant to draw out impurities from pores, and help clear them out, this is ideal for anyone with oily skin. I feel like this cleans deeper than my regular scrubs and cleansers, and this easily washes off the skin. Highly recommended for oily skin! -

My mum gave me this serum to test out as she had an allergic reaction to it. (Buyer beware, may not be for sensitive skin.) However, I love how this worked out for me. Its a great summertime serum, kind of "freezes" my dry spots so that they don't show up when I wear makeup. I love how fast it absorbs, as I can wear it under makeup. Its really lightweight and runny, so a little spreads a lot. -

The price for this is rather expensive, but the product itself is great. I've been using this lately as it has been very dry where I live, and this has helped immensely with dry spots on my cheek and forehead. I think this also may have helped with eczema on my hand It's a very odd texture as it is very oily, but runny at the same time, which is very different from moisturizing heavy creams. I haven't noticed a ton of lightening, but I think the moisturizing properties have helped with reducing some of the darker scars I have on my face. -

I would only get this if you like very light coverage, and the scent of olay. This "bb cream" has the classic olay smell to it. I don't think that this should be marketed as a bb cream, as it gives no coverage, is incredibly sheer, and is basically a moisturizer with a slight tint (even calling it a tinted moisturizer is an exaggeration). It does moisturize the skin, much like olay moisturizers, but the light coverage of this will not hide any pigmentation. It might even out skin tone a little, but it doesn't do much. -

I have the 2014 and 2015 (neutrals only) variations. I think these are great dupes for the UD naked1 palette, (the 2014 non-matte one is better) and these are wonderful drugstore eyeshadows. I think these are wonderfully pigmented, though not as... +
I have the 2014 and 2015 (neutrals only) variations. I think these are great dupes for the UD naked1 palette, (the 2014 non-matte one is better) and these are wonderful drugstore eyeshadows. I think these are wonderfully pigmented, though not as pigmented as UD, obviously, but have a great texture, minimal fallout, and the mattes actually show up. I really like the brush that comes with it, it seems to be a great quality brush, and it works well as an eyeshadow brush. -

This is a very interestingly shaped brush. It was also much bigger than anticipated. I was very pleased with how dense it was, as it makes buffing liquid foundation and mineral foundation really seamless. The downside of this is that it takes forever to dry. Its pretty comfortable to hold, despite its size, and the brush head is short, but still very soft. I also ordered mine online, as it is virtually non-existent in stores. -
