I already mentioned to you all that I have oily skin. Well with that being said I have tried everything for oily skin for what seems like FOREVER.

Well, about 7 months ago I came across the Kinerase ad in a magazine and thought I look into it and possibly try it. They were having a deal. If you bought $100 worth you got their Gentle Daily Cleanser free. So I got it.

Here’s what happened. After about a week of using the products I broke out. O.k. so your thinking “I’ve broken out before while trying a new product, what’s the big deal” Well, let me say that I also have broken out before when trying a new product on my face, but never as bad as this. I broke out so bad that it left scars on my face and as of right now I still have three little pinkish scars on the right side by my temple. I was so embarrassed and my husband made comments about how bad my face looked. I am glad that I keep my hair down cause it was just too much to have to deal with. I also had to start wearing foundation again cause of it. I don’t mind the foundation and all but life was much easier in the morning. LOL!!!  It didn’t help my skin at all, it just made it worse.

My opinion, it should only be prescribed by a dermatologist! Yes, Courtney Cox (who is gorgous) and uses this product looks great, but she I’m sure has it prescribed to her. When you call to order they just take your order thats it. I was able to return the product and get my money back but was sad that something I paid a lot of money for did what it did.

So unless you go to a dermatologist and he recommends this product go for it, other than that you might wanna really think twice about it before you do. I’m not trying to down this product at all, just letting you all know that you might wanna ask your doctor first.

Let me start by saying that I am just gonna be blunt and honest with this blog.

I read InStyle’s magazine a couple of months ago about their 140+ best beauty buys. I was curious about their reviews on foundations so I tried what they said was the best. That product was the Laura Merciers oil free foundation cause I’ve got really oily skin. They said that “it sinks into skin nicely” I tried it and have to say I DISAGREE!!!

First of all when I put it on my finger tips it was really thick, I don’t like thick. Second, once I put it on my face it dried within seconds, and I mean it dried. I called one of the department stores where they sold the product and asked them why it does it and how to fix it, they told me that Laura Mercier is known for having to apply the makeup with a pad that it moist. That would mean, I would have to wet the pad (which I had to buy) apply the foundation to the pad and put it on my face and blend. Now let me say, that didn’t work! It took more time to put it on than I was willing to do, not only that it still dried just took a little bit longer to dry like lets say 5 seconds longer.

Needless to say, I returned the product and went with Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Lite! I LOVE IT!!!!! Oh I will say and recommend that if you are looking for a primer, go with Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. I swear by it!
