MOTRIN Super Strength Liquid Gels
This seems to be the hidden gem that I always forget about. I always get really bad cramps due to PCOS and this seems to have slipped through my fingers for years, but now that I've tried it again it'll be something I purchase in the future!

I've used this face wash a few times and it's definitely a product where if I had it I would use it, but if I had the option there are many other things I'd rather pick. I find that it resembles liquid soap and can sometimes leave the "squeaky clean" feeling on my skin, which I do not like. That feeling means it has stripped your face of natural oils and is over-cleaning. I find it does this if I just wash my face in the sink at night. I do like it in the shower though because I find that the steam replenishes a lot of moisture in my face. Again, not the best, but certainly not the worst! -

This stuff is UNBEATABLE! If you use this you will never switch to another cleanser, I can almost guarantee it. It cleans your skin of all makeup and residue without stripping you of your natural oils like so many cleansers do. When you wash your face it should never feel tight and "squeaky" clean, if it does it means your oils have been stripped away. This cleans, tightens, brightens and plumps your skin with one product! My skin started clearing up the second that I started using this stuff and saved my acne. Yes, it's a little pricey but I buy the small bottle from Sephora ($20 CAN) and it typically lasts me 2-3 months when I wash my face 1-2 times a day. You need a pea sized amount and it cleans everything. This is so gentle and amazing, EVERYONE needs it! -

This primer is great for smoothing out and filling in your pores, but you need to be careful with this stuff!
This is a silicone based primer (which is why it gives that silk-like feeling) which is why it's so great at blurring your pores, but you need to make sure you wash your face really well after using it. It has a tenancy to sit in your pores and will stay there unless you do a through job scrubbing your face afterwards. As with all silicone based primers, it's not great on oily skin. The oils in your face will try to seep out and get trapped by the silicone - nothing gets out, and nothing gets in. It's a barrier for your skin and can be the cause of a breakout. If you use this make sure to give your face lots of breaks and do not use it every day! If you have oily skin, I would not recommend this.
I find this to actually be the worst of all silicone based primers. Yes, it makes your skin look beautiful and I will still wear it if I have an event that I know I will be at for less than five hours. But this can cause havoc on your face and cause more harm than good! My suggestion is to stay away from silicone based primers all together.

This stuff is great if you're looking for a "barely there" finish to smooth out your skin and even out your tone. I do find that it occasionally oxidizes but if you pair it with a good primer you'll be set. I will say that this is not a build-able foundation and it will slide around if you try to build it up to a higher coverage. It's great on summer days or when you're not really going anywhere! -

I'm picky with foundation. Picky as in will never buy the same foundation more than once, except this one. I can honestly say this is the only natural matte foundation I have ever found that does not make your skin look powdery, dry down too much, or slide off of my face. It's a medium coverage foundation that evens out skin tons and still looks like your skin. I have skin that tends to be more oily and I don't even need to set this with a powder which is normally a necessity for me. It blends beautifully into the skin and can be built up for more of a full coverage look. It never dries patchy and never oxidizes on my face. Trust me, you NEED this stuff! -

I've tried this foundation twice now, and both times promptly returned it. This foundation is infused with coconut water which is supposed to make it hydrating and long lasting, but instead it makes it slippery and slide all over your face! It oxidizes nearly instantly and within half an hour it's literally sliding off of your face. By the end of the day there is nothing left under my eyes or on my nose because it has moved and clumped on my face. I've tried it with five different primers on underneath and nothing can make this foundation stay. I'm sure it's great if you have skin on the drier side but do not even ATTEMPT to use this if you have even slightly oily skin! -

I've tried this foundation a few times and always love it when I first start a new bottle. It glides across the face to create a flawless, smooth finish. For the first hour or two my skin always looks airbrushed because of the amazing texture of this foundation. But I find that after a few hours it begins to oxidize on my face (turns it orange!), and that is NOT fun. I feel paranoid wearing this because I'm never sure if it's going to be a 10/10 or a 2/10. If my skin is super hydrated and has no acne it looks pretty good, but the second there is any uneven texture it looks awful. This is NOT a good foundation if you have oily, uneven skin. -

I'm relatively new to sleeping masks, but this one in particular has me hooked. Lots of sleeping masks make it uncomfortable to go to bed because I feel like it's clogging my pores and gives me dry and itchy patches, but this is the complete opposite. All you need is a thin layer and it feels like a very smooth, water based moisturizer. It dries down a considerable about but never feels like it's clogging pores and doesn't make your skin feel tight. It leaves no residue on your pillow at night, and you make up to smooth, hydrated skin. It's the easiest thing to put on your face and especially helpful if you find it difficult to have a good skin care routine! -
