The event wasn’t just a “preview” though: We also learned about their Product Prescription – basically, their list of the 10 best products for our complexions.

As someone who is ALWAYS fighting against a roller-coaster ride of good/bad skin, this part was the most interesting to me – and I look forward to trying each and every one of the products myself, in order to develop my own opinion!

So, here’s their list – feel free to comment back with your yay, nay, or other thoughts/opinions on any!

If I can possibly find the time today, I am going to finish filling out the Beauty Ballot over at Allure.com in hopes of winning a makeover weekend for myself and a friend – fully knowing that I never win anything, of course – but it is fun and a good time waster. They basically want you to list all of your favorite products and sent them in. I still have a little bit more to go to finish it, but I think I will let you know my choices when I get it all completed. The time consuming part is that not only do they want the manufacturer for each item, but the exact product name and shade if relevant. It takes a while to figure out what the rubbed off bottoms of the lipstick tube says. And maybe it will inspire Max Factor to not discontinue my favorite lipstick as a bonus. I wish!
