Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($40.00 for 1.01 oz.) is easily one of the more famous products produced by the brand. It is designed to create a "soft focus" effect when used while providing medium-to-full coverage for a flawless look. It is touted as an oil-free liquid foundation...
REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask ($55.00 for 1.7 oz.) is a peel mask designed to "renew the complexion, reduce fine lines, and improve skin tone, firmness, and radiance." It uses a fruit acid complex (thus, lactic, glycolic, tartaric, and citric) along...
LUSH A Crash Course in Skincare Fresh Face Mask ($7.95 for 2.6 oz.) is the best mask for a general purpose, make-your-skin-feel-fabulous mask. It is ideal for all skin types. It contains such ingredients as organic avocado, kaolin, organic yoghurt, glycerin, organic lemon juice, sandalwood oil,...
LUSH Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask ($7.95 for 2.6 oz.) is a calming, cleansing mask for all types of skin.

Korres Face Primer ($28.00 for 1.01 oz. or $10.00 for 0.34 oz.) is exactly that. After my debacle Smashbox Photofinish Primer, I really wanted to steer clear of silicone-based primers. I couldn't tell you if that really causes breakouts for me...
Cetaphil UVA/UVB Defense Facial Moisturizer SPF 50 ($13.99 for 1.7 oz.) is a drugstore option for a great summer moisturizer. I find it to be fairly lightweight (maybe light to medium), but once it dries, there's no heaviness or super greasy residue. What I like about Cetaphil products is that...
Benefit 10 Powder ($28.00) is a combination highlighter and bronzing duo. If you've seen Benefit's other powders like CORALista or Dandelion, it's the same idea, but the powder is split in half -- half is a bronzer, half is a highlighter. The highlighter is a light, milky silvery-pink with soft...
