    I have tried and loved Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion and Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation with the latter being my all-time #1 pick for beauty essentials.

    Philosophy Purity Made Simple is good. I still use it to wash off makeup at night but it just doesn’t clean deep enough for me.

    And Philosophy Hope In A Jar did not work for me. At all. My t-zone got really oily and I started getting break outs. But while my mom was visiting I let her try it and she really likes it. She has more mature, dry-ish skin and it really did a great job moisturizing, tightening and gave her skin a luminous healthy glow.

    I LOVE the Smashbox Primer. It smooths my skin – even with my rosacea bumps – so that my foundation goes on perfectly.
