Favorite Skincare, Bath/Body, Haircare Products of 2014

I don't talk much about skincare because everyone reacts differently with the product since we have different types of skin and expectations.
I don't have much trouble with my skin. I have some hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, everything I tried I was never able to get rid of them. I get the occasional break out, usually around menstruation or when I'm very stressed. I am fortunate there is no signs of wrinkles yet. I think the regular maintenance must've done the job but my overall complexion is a bit dull and uneven. I have combination normal skin and slightly oily on the T-zone.

Raccine Ultimate Hydra Perfection Advanced Lumious Gel. I was sent this product for review but it's really a nice gel and gives a boost of hydration. Feels and looks luxurious. Price is average.

Algenist Firming & Lifting Eye Gel. I really like how quickly it absorbs and keep my skin feel hydrated for hours.

Algenist Firming & Lifting Cream. I've been quite pleased with the couple products that I tried from the line. The texture of the creams are smooth and hydrating. I love that they are unscented. I dislike the jar packaging but what's inside is good.

Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Skin Guardian With White Tea. You must test this when you get a chance because it feels so silky smooth. It feels silicone-ish so if you don't like this feeling then it's not for you. I find it works well for me during winter for some of the areas that feels a little dry. It reduces the appearance of dry skin.

Shiseido The Skincare Night Moisture Recharge. I haven't been using this in the winter because it's a light-weight moisture night cream, well actually it feels more like a gel. I used it more often in the spring and summer when my skin isn't as dry. If you have normal to oily skin, I think you'll like this but if you have dry skin you might not feel like this would be enough moisture for you. You get a lot of product and a little goes a long way. This will last a pretty long time.

Garnier Nourishing Cleansing Oil. It does a wonderful job at removing makeup. I wished drugstore carried more of these cleansing oils.

Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Gel Mask. By far my favorite mask of all time. It's a bit pricey but next time they have a sale, I'd definitely picking up more of these. Once you're done, your skin feels soft like baby skin.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. Nothing worked for me like this drying lotion for pimple spot treatment. It sucks that bad boy dry overnight and helps reduce the look of scar and speed the healing process.

Freeman Facial Polish Mask Charcoal & Black Sugar. There's some issues with the cap not wanting to stay close after you used it a few times but other than that it's a wonderful exfoliator. My skin feels clean and smooth after use. I didn't find it harsh or drying either.

L'Occitane Almond Collection. I love the almond line from L'Occitane. I'm usually not a big fan on sweet scents but it smells warm, sweet, and divine. I didn't care much for the soap cause it's so small but the supple skin oil, shower oil, and almond milk concentrate are my favorite.

L'Occitane 100% Shea Butter. This stuff is pricey but I haven't found anything else that compares. It feels thick yet it absorbs quickly and easily into skin. This is the most hydrating cream I ever tried. It works wonders on my dry hands during the winter time. I also like that it is unscented.

Macadamia Natural Oil Healing Oil Spray. I love the light-weight feel and healthy shines it gives my hair.

Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Frizz Defy Hair Elixir. A little goes a long way to smooth and detangle hair without weighing it down. Smells nice too.
