I am combination to dry but sometimes I can be either very sensitive or extreme oily to the level of very greasy especially in the summer.
Cleansers: $48. Natura Bisse Ceutical cleanser This is my favorite right now because any skin types can use it, not only does it smells lovely (fruity and citricy) but it also not lack of the cleansing power to condition and make my face feel soothing, clean, and very refresh. It has a white creamy texture and foams very little but I don't care. Overall, I can use this cleanser at any situations and will not afraid that it will irritate my face. Little bit goes a long way for me.
$75. La Prairie Foaming cleanser For those that like foaming cleansers, this cleanser really foams. Again, like the NB Ceutical cleanser this is very gentle in my opinion that won't irritate my face at any situations. The price is quite high but it will last a long time, might not buy again but who knows.
$40. Diorsnow Whitenning Radiance Foaming Cleanser This whitening cleanser really brighten one's face and will make the face squeaky clean but could be too clean for some peoples' faces. It only has 3.4oz I think but again it is another cleanser that little bit goes a long way for me. For girls with makeup on, this should be good enough to wipe everything off without additional steps. This cleanser also foams really well.
$12. Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel I like to exfoliate and sometimes I think I exfoliate too much. This is a no scrub exfoliating cleanser that I use once every couple of days when I am too lazy to scrub my face. One bottle last me I don't know for how long. It is also very gentle in my opinion, pretty good when I need less stimulations.
$ varies. Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser Need no say no more about this one. I use this because I am a guy and I am lazy too, so I use this gentle cleanser because I want to skip the toner step when I am on the go and need to get out of my house in a hurry.
I still have and have tried many other cleansers like Kate Somerville, Amore Pacific, Armani foaming cleanser, La Mer foam and gel cleansers, Sisley, Perricone, and etc...... But I think this should be good for now
Toners: $85. La Prairie Cellular Refining lotion Would have never imagine I buy this toner but just out of curiosity, I did so anyway. It hydrates really well and can calm my red and sensitive skin. I don't use this everyday. Might keep repurchasing.
$20. Clarins Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion Sometimes my face can be both red and dry. I found this does everything I am looking for and the price so right. I like to mix my Clarins lotus oil with this toner and just apply it direct to my face using my palms without using any cotton pads.
$19. Aveda Botanical Kinetic Exfoliant My face can get oily and greasy from time-to-time so after using my cleanser I would prefer a stronger but also gentle toner that can complete the cleansing cycle. This toner can do that for me and at the same time won't cause any irritation to my face. It is a very natural when you read its ingredients.
$60. Amore Pacific hydrating fluid. This has a gel texture and similar to La Mer's infusions so you really don't need to use any cotton pads at all. It smells very lovely and hydrating. I can use this and skip the La Mer hydrating infusion, if you ask me.
$60. Guerlain Future Success Regenerating Toner You can get this from Sasa.com for alittle over $40. This one, like the AP one also has a gel texture that is very hydrating and soothing, it is a perfect anti-aging toner for winter time. Again, I really don't need the La Mer hydrating infusion anymore when I use either this or the AP hydrating fluid. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:12:50编辑过]
Scrubs/Peels: $60. Amore Pacific Treament Enzyme peel. God, this is another crazy good product for me. I still have 2 fullsize bottles that I haven't open yet and you can get this from Sephora, NM, or BG. 1 bottle lasts me more than 6months. It is a very gentle product and I can leave it on my face for 1-2mins as a mini-mask. Once I wash it off, my face feels very smooth, refresh, clean and brightened.
$85. Christian Dior Multi-Perfection Nighttime Soft Peel OMG lol, another awesome peel. This is a toner like peel, I think for those with acnes and very oily faces, you can just use this alone at night and it will clear up your acnes. I use this couple times a week and it helps my expensive night creams to soak in my face that much better. This peel + good anti-aging night creams = awesome. Oily faces can just use this alone in the summer time. $255. La Prairie Microdermabrasion cream LOL. Call me crazy for dropping $255 on a scrub but I like this thing haha. It has the finest crystals and diamond crusts that gently polishes away the dead skincells on my face without any irritation effects. I don't need to use a cleanser before this and 1 should last me about a year.
$65 or $85 for the regular version. Kate Somerville Exfolikate I like both versions. It is a scrub, it is a mask, it does the job really well to help my face prepared for additional treatments.
All of these scrubs and peels are must buys for me.
$20. Aveda Intensive Hydrating Mask Pure hydration. Sometimes when I have too much stimulations from using other active ingredients products, it is nice to use something that is alot less intensive.
$47.50. Natura Bisse Stabilizing Mask Deep cleansing and exfoliating mask. My face feels very clean and refresh after using this mask. I can skip my cleanser step and just apply this on top of my face since it is also considered as a clay cleanser. A must buy for me.
$45. Kate Somerville Mineral Mud Mask Another mask I swears by for good cleansing. For those with sensitive but oily and breakout faces, this mask not only helps to to deep cleanse but also over time it will help to get rid of the redness and breakouts away. When I use this mask, I can feel it is working because it actually sting my face alittle (possibly alot if it is your first time using it) but overall, it works. For not so serious acne skins, this I think works even better than NB's stabilzing mask. Dry skin type can still use it but don't put it on for too long, 3minutes is enough. A must buy for me.

Serums: $42 for 0.5oz. Sonya Dakar Omega3 Repair Complex for Irritation This is a life saver product for me when I skin is hyper sensitive and irritated. It contains bergamont and chamomile that not only does it hydrates you skin but it also help to take away any rednesses and irritations. How do I discovered this serum/oil works this well on sensitive skin? This past January when I was on a shopping trip to LA and Las Vegas, I came home with a chemical like burn with rednesses all over my face. I couldn't get rid of the problem and was worry that I won't be able to make it to the Natura Bisse facial. 4days before the facial, I took this serum out from my closet and started to using it by layered the goat milk cream on top. After the first application, I can see my redness started to calming down and that's when I realized how good the combo of this serum and that goat milk cream was. I can said that I can't live without having this serum/oil for emergency situations. SD has this oil designed according to skin types. So this oil also comes in one for maintenance, discoloration, and acne. Dermstore.com has everthing.
$100 for 1.7oz. Amore Pacific stabilizing serum For those with oily but also sensitive skins if you guys are afraid of putting oils on your face then this is your answer. Dry skin can certainly use it too though. Like that SD omega3 oil, this serum also help to stablize your sensitivity and repair any potential damages causing by stress to the face.
$225 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Ceutical Intensive Tolerance Booster OMG, crazy good product atleast to me personally. It is a serum that was designed for anti-aging and problematic skin conditions such as irritation/inflammation (other skin types can still use as well). This serum is very moisturizing, firm, and very light weight as it helps to repair my skin back to normalcy. Just like the first two serums, this one really works, only problem is the price lol.
$225 for 1.7oz. La Prairie Longivity Serum I like this serum because it make my face silky smooth and look radiance. It helps to boost the firmness of my face and I like that it can delay my skincells from being deterioate so fast lol. So the serum makes someone like me from being aging too fast. However, from what I know not everyone can use it because some people will react to some ingredients it contains.
$44.5 for 1 oz. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Serum I bought this serum because I can use it under my eyes. Since my Clinique brand rep buddy said that I don't have lines on my face but I do know I have 1-2 lines under my eyes so I bought it to see if it works. So far the answer is it work alittle bit for me. I can see the lines under my eyes have become lighter.
$49.95 for 1oz. Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector Why I need this? Because I have acne scars and this helps to fade them out. I believe in this serum but too bad I like spicy food and still experiencing breakouts from time-to-time.
$68 Glycol balance exfoliating gel I use this because I don't want to over exfoliate my face. This gel can refine skin textures, great for acnes, cell renew, and minimized my pores.
Christian Dior L'or De Vie L'Extrait $370 for 0.50oz. $315 for the refill. Hell yes, it is that expensive for this serum. I don't know what I was thinking when I went for this serum but what sold me was I went to a Dior facial with rednesses all over my face and after a face massage with this serum the rednesses went away just like a magical trick. Only thing that can compare to it is NB's Diamond Shield. One of the best anti-aging serums in my opinion.
Eye treatments: $65 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Stimu-Eye Active Gel I don't sleep alot, so I put this on at night with an eye cream layer on top to prevent dark circles and puffiness/bags. So far I can tell you I don't know what dark circles are look like in my life and no bags either. It is a clear gel texture that tingles when I apply it under my eyes so I know it's working. I can use this alone or with an eye cream on top because this product hydrates. This eye-gel is usable on top of the eyelids. A must buy.
$42 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Stimu-Eye Mask It is a very creamy eye mask that I wear it to sleep. Very moisturizing for both the eye contour and the upper eye lid areas. Great for lines, dark circles, and puffiness. Another must buy for me because it works and the price is very attractive.
Sisley Eye Contour Mask $140 for 1oz but only $76 if you buy it from Sasa.com. But I would rather ask for samples instead haha. Another great eye mask just like the Natura Bisse one. It does everything one would ask for regarding fixing the eye problems. It is good for upper eye lids as well. It take cares of eye irritation problems also.
$78 for 1oz. Kahina Eye Serum I like this eye serum alot because it is an anti-aging eye serum with organic Morrocan oil that I can use on my lips and it helps to fix your typical eye problems also. Good for lines, puffiness, dark circles. I will keep buying this.
$50. Erno Laszlo Intensive Firming Eye Treatment My newly acquired eye treatment/cream today. Another gel type of eye treatment/cream. I like it because it hydrates and firms my eyes. This product should be very good for those with puffiness eyes and it also help a little to brighten dark circles. I can totally just using this alone and it will be enough for me.
Eye creams: $70 for 0.5oz. Natura Bisse Eye Contour Cream This has become my favorite eye cream for day time. It keep my eyes hydrate all day and those with super dry eyes should try it to find out your selves because I think you guys will like it. I think the box said that it has a spf10 attached to it. Targeting fine lines and wrinkles.
$190 for 0.8oz. Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme Eye. Been using this for a long time. Although it is expensive but I get almost twice the size of a regular eye cream. I use this on both the eye contour and eye lid areas that it hydrates really well. One of the best anti-aging eye creams I have use so far. I think if it can make my under line wrinkles less visible, no new line formation, no dark circles, no puffiness then I think it does its job. $190 with the holder. $160 for the refill. Christian Dior L'or De Vie Eye cream This eye cream is simply amazing when I use it. I think if I can keep using it constantly the I really don't need to buy other eye creams at all. Dry lines, wrinkles, can be all taking care by this eye cream. Like Natura Bisse's Diamond Extreme Eye, it also has a very rich texture that hydrates my eyes crazy good.
Kiehl's Imperiale Repairateur Moisturizing Eye Balm $24. Like this because it is pure hydration to the eyes. People with dry eyes should use this at night and it should take care of the dryness problem. It doesn't do much except providing good hydration to the eyes but I will go with this Kiehl's eye balm over that avocado eye cream any day of the week. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:48:25编辑过]
Masks: $150 for 1.7oz. La Prairie Hydralift Firming Mask This mask works crazy good on both me and my sister-in-law's faces, I think I might need to force my mom to use it soon. You don't need to wash this mask off and it can be use just like a night cream, little bit goes a long way again since 1 jar lasted my sister-in-law a whole year. This mask firms and lifts your face, I felt my face was tighter after applying this mask at night. When I wake up the next morning, my face feels very soft and smooth and no flakes on my face. If I apply this on top of a serum, it works even better. It is a must buy for me and my sister-in-law. She has tried so many masks from cheap to expensive because of my connections and this is the only mask she swears by it.
$90 for 2.5oz. Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery Masque It is another great mask to wear to sleep at night. This mask helps to detoxify, hydrates my face and can get rid of redness when my face is irritated. I still have 2 fullsize tubes that I haven't open yet because this mask can sold out at the stores very fast from time-to-time. It is a great mask for face with uneven tone or when you face look like crap. It is a must buy for my personally.
$145. Chantecaille Biodynamic Lifting Mask Another good mask to wear to sleep. It does everthing it saids and god my credit card bill is getting bigger and bigger. Similar to the LP mask but I would say LP>Chantecaille for me because LP is more gentle.
$60. Amore Pacific Vitalizing Masque One more mask that you can wear it to sleep. It is a mask that hydrates my face and make it looking more healthy and radiance in the morning. Great for those that need to fly all the time, it helps your face to recover. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:18:04编辑过]
Day creams: $25. Kiehl's Facial Fuel with SPF15 This is an oil-free moisturizer for the daytime that helps to awaken my dull face if I really don't have much sleep the previous night. I don't care about daytime creams or lotions that much anyway, sometimes I might use some expensive day creams or lotions and sometimes I can go for the inexpensive ones. So this was great because I don't need to put an extra layer of sunscreen on top. It saves me a step so I can get out of my home faster in the morning.
$175. La Prairie Marine Biology Day Cream SPF20 I like this cream because I have lots of samples of it. The texture is somewhat light in my opinion and it hydrates my face really well, the best thing is the cream doesn't make my face oily at all. I might not use it everyday but it is something that I will consider buying again. This is an anti-aging day cream that is designed for 25-30 age group.
$200. La Prairie Anti-Aging Day Cream with SPF30 I think I will use this mainly during the winter because I think it might be too rich for me during the summer. Love the texture of it and it hydrates my face enough for the entire day. Do I feel it helps me to fight against aging? I think so. It might not work well for some people but I am satisfied with it.
$55 Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream. This cream might be hit or miss for some people but it never lets me down when I experiencing skin irritation problems. This cream + that Sonya Dakar Omega3 complex for Irritation have save me many times from hyper sensitivity. Redness, bumps, peeling, have all been taken care by the combination of both products. Those with super dry skin, this cream will be a good cream for your all.
$70. Natura Bisse Stabilzing Gel Cream I have been using this during every summer since I was 20. It control oil on my face really well and somehow I am addicting to its smells. It is very moisturizing in my opinion, great for oily skin type or those who want something light. I think Natura Bisse makes some of the best gel-creams available.
Night Creams: (Most Expensive) $155. Natura Bisse Tolerance Recovery Cream Move over La Mer, atleast for me personally lol. This is Natura Bisse's newest anti-aging cream to combat skin's sensitivity and inflammation. It is firming, calming, and anti-aging with all those peptide ingredients the cream contains. I feel this cream does everything La Mer can do plus more. Although it might not be enough in terms of hydrations for some super dry skin types like what La Mer can do for them but it is good enough for me personally and it is way cheaper than the La Mer cream. Base on how fast this calms and soothes my face, I think this cream beats La Mer by a mile.
$150 for 1.7oz Kate Somerville CytoCell Treatment I love this cream from Kate, it increased my hydration by a notch when I use this cream for 7days straight. It made my face look smoother and firmer. Great anti-aging product but although I can use this alone at night time or during the day time, it might be not hydrates enough for some super dry skin types. $325 for 1.7oz Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme Face Cream Why I picked this over the regular Diamond? Because it is better for sensitive skin due to the Epidermal Self-Modulator that it contains to repair one's epidmeral tissue. You can use this cream at any conditions and it will nourishing your skin condition back to normal. Being using this for a long, long time and can't live without it. It has the same texture as the regular Diamond but it is very easily for the face to soak in. The cream over all is very firming due to the marine ingredients that it has inside.
$350 for 1.7oz. $295 for the refill Christian Dior L'or de Vie Face Cream This cream is pure gentle and awesome in a way just like the eye cream and the face serum. The whole L'or De Vie line was intended for day time use but I like to use the serum and this face cream night time anyway because that's when my face is repairing during sleep so using at night will just make these expensive products that much better. I think out of many expensive anti-aging face creams out on the market, this one and the Diamond Extreme cream are the two that one will less likely experiencing uncomfortable or bad reactions if you want to use them at a young age. The main ingredients of the cream is suppose developed by this legendary vineyard in France, which it is known for its anti-aging properties.
$395. La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream My whole family love this cream alot. A less than a pea size is all I need to apply on my whole face. It is very moisturizing, firm, and lifting. The next day when I woke up if I had used this cream during the previous night, my face will feel smooth, soft, and very hydrated. Even after I washed my face, it still felt the same. My sister-in-law is 27 when she first tried this cream, she got scared lol because she didn't know if she can use this cream at such age. But I insisted her on trying anyway since I gave her this cream to test it out at night and it turned her dry skin around the next morning haha. I think some people can't use it because the cream has silicone in it but it is a must have for me.
$1000 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Cle De Peau Synactive Intensive Cream This is just stupid lol. I tried this cream just out of curiosity since I have already tried La Prarie's $1000 Platinum cream. It made my skin just so much better but because of my age I don't expect to see much result from it anyway. However, I still like it though. My mom saw better results with this cream. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 15:58:46编辑过]
$48. This is my favorite right now because any skin types can use it, not only does it smells lovely but it also not lack of the cleansing power to make my face feel soothing, clean, and very refresh. It foams very little but I don't care. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/18 12:50:57编辑过] lol just bought this. using it everyday~ love it~ smells so good~~~ [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/18 12:58:35编辑过]
$145. Another good mask to wear to sleep. It does everthing it saids and god my credit card bill is getting bigger and bigger. Similar to the LP mask but I would say LP>Chantecaille for me because LP is more gentle.

$47.50. Deep cleansing and exfoliating mask. My face feels very clean and refresh after using this mask. I can skip my cleanser step and just apply this on top of my face since it is also considered as a clay cleanser. A must buy for me. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/18 15:45:41编辑过] This is so far my favorate cleaning mask~~
$60. AP's Treament Enzyme peel. God, this is another crazy good product for me. I still have 2 fullsize bottles that I haven't open yet and you can get this from Sephora, NM, or BG. 1 bottle lasts me more than 6months. It is a very gentle product and I can leave it on my face for 1-2mins as a mini-mask. Once I wash it off, my face feels very smooth, refresh, clean and brightened.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/18 16:21:21编辑过] got one deluxe sample of this product, truely amazing it is~~~~
I bought this eye gel today at my local NM for $50. It is for puffiness, dark circles, and some hydration. I also brought homes skin care samples from Erno, Clinique's CX line, Bobbi Brown, and Guerlain. Will update picture later.
Thinking of buying this treatment oil $39. It is an oil you use before your cleanser, it helps to open your pores for deep cleansing. [此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/18 20:59:27编辑过]

Cleansers:
$48. Natura Bisse Ceutical cleanser
This is my favorite right now because any skin types can use it, not only does it smells lovely (fruity and citricy) but it also not lack of the cleansing power to condition and make my face feel soothing, clean, and very refresh. It has a white creamy texture and foams very little but I don't care. Overall, I can use this cleanser at any situations and will not afraid that it will irritate my face. Little bit goes a long way for me.
$75. La Prairie Foaming cleanser
For those that like foaming cleansers, this cleanser really foams. Again, like the NB Ceutical cleanser this is very gentle in my opinion that won't irritate my face at any situations. The price is quite high but it will last a long time, might not buy again but who knows.
$40. Diorsnow Whitenning Radiance Foaming Cleanser
This whitening cleanser really brighten one's face and will make the face squeaky clean but could be too clean for some peoples' faces. It only has 3.4oz I think but again it is another cleanser that little bit goes a long way for me. For girls with makeup on, this should be good enough to wipe everything off without additional steps. This cleanser also foams really well.
$12. Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel
I like to exfoliate and sometimes I think I exfoliate too much. This is a no scrub exfoliating cleanser that I use once every couple of days when I am too lazy to scrub my face. One bottle last me I don't know for how long. It is also very gentle in my opinion, pretty good when I need less stimulations.
$ varies. Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser
Need no say no more about this one. I use this because I am a guy and I am lazy too, so I use this gentle cleanser because I want to skip the toner step when I am on the go and need to get out of my house in a hurry.
I still have and have tried many other cleansers like Kate Somerville, Amore Pacific, Armani foaming cleanser, La Mer foam and gel cleansers, Sisley, Perricone, and etc...... But I think this should be good for now

$85. La Prairie Cellular Refining lotion
Would have never imagine I buy this toner but just out of curiosity, I did so anyway. It hydrates really well and can calm my red and sensitive skin. I don't use this everyday. Might keep repurchasing.
$20. Clarins Extra-Comfort Toning Lotion
Sometimes my face can be both red and dry. I found this does everything I am looking for and the price so right. I like to mix my Clarins lotus oil with this toner and just apply it direct to my face using my palms without using any cotton pads.
$19. Aveda Botanical Kinetic Exfoliant
My face can get oily and greasy from time-to-time so after using my cleanser I would prefer a stronger but also gentle toner that can complete the cleansing cycle. This toner can do that for me and at the same time won't cause any irritation to my face. It is a very natural when you read its ingredients.
$60. Amore Pacific hydrating fluid.
This has a gel texture and similar to La Mer's infusions so you really don't need to use any cotton pads at all. It smells very lovely and hydrating. I can use this and skip the La Mer hydrating infusion, if you ask me.
$60. Guerlain Future Success Regenerating Toner
You can get this from Sasa.com for alittle over $40. This one, like the AP one also has a gel texture that is very hydrating and soothing, it is a perfect anti-aging toner for winter time. Again, I really don't need the La Mer hydrating infusion anymore when I use either this or the AP hydrating fluid.

God, this is another crazy good product for me. I still have 2 fullsize bottles that I haven't open yet and you can get this from Sephora, NM, or BG. 1 bottle lasts me more than 6months. It is a very gentle product and I can leave it on my face for 1-2mins as a mini-mask. Once I wash it off, my face feels very smooth, refresh, clean and brightened.
$85. Christian Dior Multi-Perfection Nighttime Soft Peel
OMG lol, another awesome peel. This is a toner like peel, I think for those with acnes and very oily faces, you can just use this alone at night and it will clear up your acnes. I use this couple times a week and it helps my expensive night creams to soak in my face that much better. This peel + good anti-aging night creams = awesome. Oily faces can just use this alone in the summer time.
$255. La Prairie Microdermabrasion cream
LOL. Call me crazy for dropping $255 on a scrub but I like this thing haha. It has the finest crystals and diamond crusts that gently polishes away the dead skincells on my face without any irritation effects. I don't need to use a cleanser before this and 1 should last me about a year.
$65 or $85 for the regular version. Kate Somerville Exfolikate
I like both versions. It is a scrub, it is a mask, it does the job really well to help my face prepared for additional treatments.
All of these scrubs and peels are must buys for me.

$20. Aveda Intensive Hydrating Mask
Pure hydration. Sometimes when I have too much stimulations from using other active ingredients products, it is nice to use something that is alot less intensive.
$47.50. Natura Bisse Stabilizing Mask
Deep cleansing and exfoliating mask. My face feels very clean and refresh after using this mask. I can skip my cleanser step and just apply this on top of my face since it is also considered as a clay cleanser. A must buy for me.
$45. Kate Somerville Mineral Mud Mask
Another mask I swears by for good cleansing. For those with sensitive but oily and breakout faces, this mask not only helps to to deep cleanse but also over time it will help to get rid of the redness and breakouts away. When I use this mask, I can feel it is working because it actually sting my face alittle (possibly alot if it is your first time using it) but overall, it works. For not so serious acne skins, this I think works even better than NB's stabilzing mask. Dry skin type can still use it but don't put it on for too long, 3minutes is enough. A must buy for me.

$42 for 0.5oz. Sonya Dakar Omega3 Repair Complex for Irritation
This is a life saver product for me when I skin is hyper sensitive and irritated.
It contains bergamont and chamomile that not only does it hydrates you skin but it also help to take away any rednesses and irritations. How do I discovered this serum/oil works this well on sensitive skin? This past January when I was on a shopping trip to LA and Las Vegas, I came home with a chemical like burn with rednesses all over my face. I couldn't get rid of the problem and was worry that I won't be able to make it to the Natura Bisse facial. 4days before the facial, I took this serum out from my closet and started to using it by layered the goat milk cream on top. After the first application, I can see my redness started to calming down and that's when I realized how good the combo of this serum and that goat milk cream was. I can said that I can't live without having this serum/oil for emergency situations. SD has this oil designed according to skin types. So this oil also comes in one for maintenance, discoloration, and acne. Dermstore.com has everthing.
$100 for 1.7oz. Amore Pacific stabilizing serum
For those with oily but also sensitive skins if you guys are afraid of putting oils on your face then this is your answer. Dry skin can certainly use it too though. Like that SD omega3 oil, this serum also help to stablize your sensitivity and repair any potential damages causing by stress to the face.
$225 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Ceutical Intensive Tolerance Booster
OMG, crazy good product atleast to me personally. It is a serum that was designed for anti-aging and problematic skin conditions such as irritation/inflammation (other skin types can still use as well). This serum is very moisturizing, firm, and very light weight as it helps to repair my skin back to normalcy. Just like the first two serums, this one really works, only problem is the price lol.
$225 for 1.7oz. La Prairie Longivity Serum
I like this serum because it make my face silky smooth and look radiance. It helps to boost the firmness of my face and I like that it can delay my skincells from being deterioate so fast lol. So the serum makes someone like me from being aging too fast. However, from what I know not everyone can use it because some people will react to some ingredients it contains.
$44.5 for 1 oz. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Serum
I bought this serum because I can use it under my eyes. Since my Clinique brand rep buddy said that I don't have lines on my face but I do know I have 1-2 lines under my eyes so I bought it to see if it works. So far the answer is it work alittle bit for me. I can see the lines under my eyes have become lighter.
$49.95 for 1oz. Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector
Why I need this? Because I have acne scars and this helps to fade them out. I believe in this serum but too bad I like spicy food and still experiencing breakouts from time-to-time.
$68 Glycol balance exfoliating gel
I use this because I don't want to over exfoliate my face. This gel can refine skin textures, great for acnes, cell renew, and minimized my pores.
Christian Dior L'or De Vie L'Extrait
$370 for 0.50oz. $315 for the refill.
Hell yes, it is that expensive for this serum. I don't know what I was thinking when I went for this serum but what sold me was I went to a Dior facial with rednesses all over my face and after a face massage with this serum the rednesses went away just like a magical trick. Only thing that can compare to it is NB's Diamond Shield. One of the best anti-aging serums in my opinion.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:34:18编辑过]
$65 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Stimu-Eye Active Gel
I don't sleep alot, so I put this on at night with an eye cream layer on top to prevent dark circles and puffiness/bags. So far I can tell you I don't know what dark circles are look like in my life and no bags either. It is a clear gel texture that tingles when I apply it under my eyes so I know it's working. I can use this alone or with an eye cream on top because this product hydrates. This eye-gel is usable on top of the eyelids. A must buy.
$42 for 1oz. Natura Bisse Stimu-Eye Mask
It is a very creamy eye mask that I wear it to sleep. Very moisturizing for both the eye contour and the upper eye lid areas. Great for lines, dark circles, and puffiness. Another must buy for me because it works and the price is very attractive.
Sisley Eye Contour Mask
$140 for 1oz but only $76 if you buy it from Sasa.com. But I would rather ask for samples instead haha.
Another great eye mask just like the Natura Bisse one. It does everything one would ask for regarding fixing the eye problems. It is good for upper eye lids as well. It take cares of eye irritation problems also.
$78 for 1oz. Kahina Eye Serum
I like this eye serum alot because it is an anti-aging eye serum with organic Morrocan oil that I can use on my lips and it helps to fix your typical eye problems also. Good for lines, puffiness, dark circles. I will keep buying this.
$50. Erno Laszlo Intensive Firming Eye Treatment
My newly acquired eye treatment/cream today.
Another gel type of eye treatment/cream. I like it because it hydrates and firms my eyes. This product should be very good for those with puffiness eyes and it also help a little to brighten dark circles. I can totally just using this alone and it will be enough for me.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/22 22:16:12编辑过]
$70 for 0.5oz. Natura Bisse Eye Contour Cream
This has become my favorite eye cream for day time. It keep my eyes hydrate all day and those with super dry eyes should try it to find out your selves because I think you guys will like it. I think the box said that it has a spf10 attached to it. Targeting fine lines and wrinkles.
$190 for 0.8oz. Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme Eye.
Been using this for a long time. Although it is expensive but I get almost twice the size of a regular eye cream. I use this on both the eye contour and eye lid areas that it hydrates really well. One of the best anti-aging eye creams I have use so far. I think if it can make my under line wrinkles less visible, no new line formation, no dark circles, no puffiness then I think it does its job.
$190 with the holder. $160 for the refill.
Christian Dior L'or De Vie Eye cream
This eye cream is simply amazing when I use it. I think if I can keep using it constantly the I really don't need to buy other eye creams at all. Dry lines, wrinkles, can be all taking care by this eye cream. Like Natura Bisse's Diamond Extreme Eye, it also has a very rich texture that hydrates my eyes crazy good.
Kiehl's Imperiale Repairateur Moisturizing Eye Balm
$24.
Like this because it is pure hydration to the eyes. People with dry eyes should use this at night and it should take care of the dryness problem. It doesn't do much except providing good hydration to the eyes but I will go with this Kiehl's eye balm over that avocado eye cream any day of the week.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:48:25编辑过]
$150 for 1.7oz. La Prairie Hydralift Firming Mask
This mask works crazy good on both me and my sister-in-law's faces, I think I might need to force my mom to use it soon. You don't need to wash this mask off and it can be use just like a night cream, little bit goes a long way again since 1 jar lasted my sister-in-law a whole year. This mask firms and lifts your face, I felt my face was tighter after applying this mask at night. When I wake up the next morning, my face feels very soft and smooth and no flakes on my face. If I apply this on top of a serum, it works even better. It is a must buy for me and my sister-in-law. She has tried so many masks from cheap to expensive because of my connections
$90 for 2.5oz. Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery Masque
It is another great mask to wear to sleep at night. This mask helps to detoxify, hydrates my face and can get rid of redness when my face is irritated. I still have 2 fullsize tubes that I haven't open yet because this mask can sold out at the stores very fast from time-to-time. It is a great mask for face with uneven tone or when you face look like crap. It is a must buy for my personally.
$145. Chantecaille Biodynamic Lifting Mask
Another good mask to wear to sleep. It does everthing it saids and god my credit card bill is getting bigger and bigger. Similar to the LP mask but I would say LP>Chantecaille for me because LP is more gentle.
$60. Amore Pacific Vitalizing Masque
One more mask that you can wear it to sleep. It is a mask that hydrates my face and make it looking more healthy and radiance in the morning. Great for those that need to fly all the time, it helps your face to recover.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 2:18:04编辑过]
$25. Kiehl's Facial Fuel with SPF15
This is an oil-free moisturizer for the daytime that helps to awaken my dull face if I really don't have much sleep the previous night. I don't care about daytime creams or lotions that much anyway, sometimes I might use some expensive day creams or lotions and sometimes I can go for the inexpensive ones. So this was great because I don't need to put an extra layer of sunscreen on top. It saves me a step so I can get out of my home faster in the morning.
$175. La Prairie Marine Biology Day Cream SPF20
I like this cream because I have lots of samples of it. The texture is somewhat light in my opinion and it hydrates my face really well, the best thing is the cream doesn't make my face oily at all. I might not use it everyday but it is something that I will consider buying again. This is an anti-aging day cream that is designed for 25-30 age group.
$200. La Prairie Anti-Aging Day Cream with SPF30
I think I will use this mainly during the winter because I think it might be too rich for me during the summer. Love the texture of it and it hydrates my face enough for the entire day. Do I feel it helps me to fight against aging? I think so. It might not work well for some people but I am satisfied with it.
$55 Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream.
This cream might be hit or miss for some people but it never lets me down when I experiencing skin irritation problems. This cream + that Sonya Dakar Omega3 complex for Irritation have save me many times from hyper sensitivity. Redness, bumps, peeling, have all been taken care by the combination of both products. Those with super dry skin, this cream will be a good cream for your all.
$70. Natura Bisse Stabilzing Gel Cream
I have been using this during every summer since I was 20. It control oil on my face really well and somehow I am addicting to its smells. It is very moisturizing in my opinion, great for oily skin type or those who want something light. I think Natura Bisse makes some of the best gel-creams available.
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/12/19 3:37:45编辑过]
$155.
Natura Bisse Tolerance Recovery Cream
Move over La Mer, atleast for me personally lol. This is Natura Bisse's newest anti-aging cream to combat skin's sensitivity and inflammation. It is firming, calming, and anti-aging with all those peptide ingredients the cream contains. I feel this cream does everything La Mer can do plus more. Although it might not be enough in terms of hydrations for some super dry skin types like what La Mer can do for them but it is good enough for me personally and it is way cheaper than the La Mer cream. Base on how fast this calms and soothes my face, I think this cream beats La Mer by a mile.
$150 for 1.7oz
Kate Somerville CytoCell Treatment
I love this cream from Kate, it increased my hydration by a notch when I use this cream for 7days straight. It made my face look smoother and firmer. Great anti-aging product but although I can use this alone at night time or during the day time, it might be not hydrates enough for some super dry skin types.
$325 for 1.7oz
Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme Face Cream
Why I picked this over the regular Diamond? Because it is better for sensitive skin due to the Epidermal Self-Modulator that it contains to repair one's epidmeral tissue. You can use this cream at any conditions and it will nourishing your skin condition back to normal. Being using this for a long, long time and can't live without it. It has the same texture as the regular Diamond but it is very easily for the face to soak in. The cream over all is very firming due to the marine ingredients that it has inside.
$350 for 1.7oz. $295 for the refill
Christian Dior L'or de Vie Face Cream
This cream is pure gentle and awesome in a way just like the eye cream and the face serum. The whole L'or De Vie line was intended for day time use but I like to use the serum and this face cream night time anyway because that's when my face is repairing during sleep so using at night will just make these expensive products that much better. I think out of many expensive anti-aging face creams out on the market, this one and the Diamond Extreme cream are the two that one will less likely experiencing uncomfortable or bad reactions if you want to use them at a young age. The main ingredients of the cream is suppose developed by this legendary vineyard in France, which it is known for its anti-aging properties.
$395.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream
My whole family love this cream alot. A less than a pea size is all I need to apply on my whole face. It is very moisturizing, firm, and lifting. The next day when I woke up if I had used this cream during the previous night, my face will feel smooth, soft, and very hydrated. Even after I washed my face, it still felt the same. My sister-in-law is 27 when she first tried this cream, she got scared lol because she didn't know if she can use this cream at such age. But I insisted her on trying anyway since I gave her this cream to test it out at night and it turned her dry skin around the next morning haha. I think some people can't use it because the cream has silicone in it but it is a must have for me.
$1000 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Cle De Peau Synactive Intensive Cream
This is just stupid lol. I tried this cream just out of curiosity since I have already tried La Prarie's $1000 Platinum cream. It made my skin just so much better but because of my age I don't expect to see much result from it anyway. However, I still like it though. My mom saw better results with this cream.

Scrubs/Peels:
$60. AP's Treament Enzyme peel. God, this is another crazy good product for me. I still have 2 fullsize bottles that I haven't open yet and you can get this from Sephora, NM, or BG. 1 bottle lasts me more than 6months. It is a very gentle product and I can leave it on my face for 1-2mins as a mini-mask. Once I wash it off, my face feels very smooth, refresh, clean and brightened.

I bought this eye gel today at my local NM for $50. It is for puffiness, dark circles, and some hydration. I also brought homes skin care samples from Erno, Clinique's CX line, Bobbi Brown, and Guerlain. Will update picture later.
Thinking of buying this treatment oil $39. It is an oil you use before your cleanser, it helps to open your pores for deep cleansing.
