5 Products I thought I wouldn't like but I love! (Mini Review)

Hey, Dolls! Here are five products that I bought thinking that they would disappoint...but I've used them and found uses for them; and will definitely buy again. This is a mini review, so I will make this quick and to the point. 1. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash   I've tried several cleansers for acne and none of them really did what they claim. I tried this because it was oil free but I really didn't think it would do the job. It's a really good cleanser; and after using it, my breakouts are very rare. I broke out several times a week (regularly) before using this cleanser and since using it my breakouts are months apart; and when they come they don't stay around at all...they are gone in a day or two. It's made with salicylic acid that treats breakouts and prevents new breakouts from forming.  2. Missy Lynn Eyeshadow and Baked Highlighters Palette I follow Missy Lynn on You Tube and Instagram and saw her promoting her

It's a five day cruise and classes are available to take on the cruise, at a reduced rate. I will be attending two classes by Lauren Nicely . I normally take at least a couple makeup classes a year; and since I did not attend The Makeup Show this year, I am eagerly awaiting this cruise (not to mention that I need a vacation)! My plan is to write a few posts on the classes that I'm going to take and the activities that were available for the makeup attendees when I get

As of late, I've have been loving this foundation. I have gotten a tan, and this prompted me to buy a new foundation matching my new shade.
