Type: Bronzer / Tanner
Brand: Lancôme
Product: Flash Bronzer
Price: ~$29

Get that tanned look in a flash! That's what Lancome's Flash Bronzer does. As soon as you apply it you can see your skin's new tanned complexion.

I'm happy with my natural tanned complexion, but the reason I bought this bronzer was to cover up certain areas of my arms which looked lighter than others. I tried other 2 other tanners but they didn't have any effect on my skin even if I used them for 2 weeks. So Lancome's bronzer doubles as a concealer in my case.

Try going to your local Lancome booth and try it out. If your happy with the result then that's the only time you should purchase it. Lancome also has a facial bronzer so your skin tone would look even all over.

Type: Facial Wash
Brand: Olay
Product: Daily Regenerating Cleanser
Price: ~$8 for 5oz size

Wash your face! - one tip that is extremely essential in order to maintain good skin. A lot of people, especially those who are working or who are always in a rush, tend to retouch makeup during the middle of the day without even washing their face first. This is a big no no no! You are just packing in the dirt into your face.

Try out different types of facial washes to know which one is best suited for your skin.
I personally like Olay's Daily Regenerating Cleanser. It has small beads that feels nice when you wash your face with it. It leaves your skin feeling clean and smooth - which is what I like! I don't like other washes that leave your skin with a sore feeling (? not quite sure if that's the right way to explain it. haha)

So that's why this product gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Type: Moisturizer
Brand: Lancôme
Product: Matifying Purifying Lotion, Moisturising Lotion, TZone Instant Matifying Gel
Price: ~$24, $27, $27

I'm one of those people who has slightly oily-oily skin, especially in the t-zone (forehead, nose, chin area). I just don't like it when it becomes oh-so-shinyyy!

We got a sample pack from Lancome a couple of years back for their Pure Focus line. We obviously liked it since we kept on buying more. (But not all of the products though, cause it doesn't pay to spend too much money on beauty products).

I would recommend these 3. The first one is the Matifying Purifying Lotion which tightens your pores and the second one is the Moisturizing Lotion for shine control and the third is the TZone Instant Matifying Gel. All three turn your oily face into a matte finish.

You don't have to use all three all the time. Try them out and figure out what works for you. =)

Type: Moisturizer
Brand: Olay
Product: Regenerist Perfecting Cream 1.7oz
Price: ~$20
Usage: Once or Twice a day

I give this product 5 stars. Feels good when you put it on and it does not have any harsh perfume smell.

Spread a thin layer evenly on your face and neck. (do not put makeup on top right away, as with any other moisturizer, let your skin absorb the lotion and dry up first before putting on makeup on top of it. It feels eeeky when your powder and moisturizer mix together.)
