My new fave beauty products

So there's three new products that I've recently purchased and I am in love with them all!

I found this product in the pharmacy section at the Red Deer Superstore. I got the last box, too! Its just like ProActiv and actually claims to be "significantly BETTER than" it. The problem areas on my face are around my mouth and chin, my hairline, and I get whiteheads on my cheekbone area. Also, I've always had very large and noticeable (at least to me) pores on my nose and they always look dirty. Like freckles, only NOT. They're not blackheads, but they are annoying and embarrassing. No matter what cleanser I used, be it Olay or Aveeno or Clean & Clear, I could never get rid of them.

WELL. I've been using AcneFree for about five days now, every morning and night... results?  Hairline pimples GONE, mouth and chin pimples GONE (well, except for a teensy breakout along my jawline but I'm premenstrual right now so I was expecting something to pop up, at least its not in the chin area). And the nose "freckles"? GONE. The pores are tight and tiny, but more importantly, completely cleaned out. So I'm sold on this product. I will DEFINITELY be buying it again. In case you're wondering about price... I paid $29.99 for it and I consider it money very well-spent. With ProActiv, you get your first order for $25 but then it goes up to $50. Plus you have to pay shipping. To buy the three products (cleanser, toner, lotion) from other brands -- such as Olay -- you'd be looking at about the same price, if not more. (Although, to be fair, you'd also get much bigger bottles but whatever.) So yeah. If you have problem skin, go out and get this product. Just try to leave a box on the shelf for me.

Have you seen the commercials for this with Jessica Biel? I'm not much of a fan of hers but I sure am for this product! I've used the Revlon lipstain before but the one complaint I had about it was that my lips would get so dry. So what did Revlon do? Came out with a better version that has the lip balm included right on the bottom of the stick! LOVE. IT. The lip balm actually seals in the color as well as moisturizing, so you don't leave lipstick marks on everything. Also found this product at Superstore and unfortunately the color I wanted was sold out ('Twilight', of course! Hah. Stupid Twihards). I ended up getting the 'Beloved' color, sort of a deep pinky-red (2nd from the right in the pic). Its gorgeous, cannot give enough praise for this brand's product. If you like a color that's not in the red spectrum, there's two colors that are more brown-y (4th and 5th from the left, in the picture they come off as dark reddish-orange but in real life, its sort of browny-orange).

Another of Revlon's ad campaign with Miss Biel. I was curious about this product because from the name, you assume it actually helps your lashes to grow thicker and longer. And Lord knows I need all the help I can get when it comes to that. I have short stubby lashes, they're like 5mm long I swear! Mascara is my #1 when it comes to must-have products. #2 is mineral powder to cover all my blemishes (hopefully AcneFree will eliminate that necessity!). But I digress.

This product is AWESOME. On the package it says "96% saw instantly longer, more lush lashes". And its true, it works! Right away I had femme-fatale lashes. The jury's still out on whether it will actually make a difference in the long run regarding lash-growth. So I guess I'll just wait and see. But I'm optimistic!

So there you have it: fall's three new must-have products. IMO.
