I might be in the market for a new skin care line. I have used Mary Kay for YEARS and just recently switched to their new timewise line and I HATE it. It makes my face feel dry and almost sunburned. Im also getting tired of having to order it and wait for it to come in (my MK lady doesnt keep stock in her house or I've been ordering it cheaper on ebay). Anywhoo...my face is normally very oily and acne prone. I need recommendations for cleanser, moisturizer, and possibly foundation. I love the MK foundation I use because it doesnt feel too heavy but Im not opposed to changing. :)
 
I love Clarins. Have you tried that? Personally, I've never liked MK. Shh don't tell anyone I said that. My daughter is a rep.
 
I am a Bobbi Brown girl all the way. I use her skin care and makeup and absolutely love it. Her products are pricey but honestly they last a LONG time. I've been using the same bottle of toner and the same jar or moisturizer for the past 6 months and they're not quite half gone. I LOVE her gel eyeliner and the tinted moisturizer is what I use for makeup.

ETA: If you have a department store with a BB counter it is worth it to establish a relationship with the girls that work there. I get free samples from mine and they are really helpful and friendly - very approachable as compared to some of the other counters. Our Macy's has BB.

In terms of actual skin care products and not make-up --- Obagi all the way. It is prescription and spendy though.
 
I love burt bees. I don't know that they have foundation, but cleanser and moisturizer. They have royal jelly eye cream. Ah-mazing.
 
I like the Burt's Bees also. My skin has so many allergies over the past 7 years that I am SO limited in my choices. I use Cetaphil cleanser for normal/oily skin and one of the Say Yes line of moisturizers for sensitive skin. I can say that I have no skin reactions to them at all. They don't make my skin feel tight or greasy either.
 
I guess I have sensitive skin because my face freaks out with May Kay...for me Purpose works great! :)
 
I use the Clinque Redness Solutions line and it has made SUCH a difference in making my skin tone more even. It's super gentle and light, yet really effective. I had tried sooo many different products before reading about Clinque and it has been worth every penny because it's seriously wonderful.
